Terms of Use: General Security Agreement

For Using the Web-based Science SCASS Assessment Materials

All Science SCASS materials found on this website, http://sciencescass.org,  have been developed for exclusive use of the participating states. This document defines the policies and agreements established by the SCASS group for the use of these materials and valid signatures on this document attest to the covenant between the member state, and CCSSO.

I am aware that CCSSO claims copyright protection in the name of the participating states to the extent the Copyright laws permit for all materials provided on the web site (unless specifically excluded by other contractual agreements created by the SCASS group). I am also aware that all materials produced by the SCASS project are meant for the exclusive and non-profit use by current member states (in good standing) for educators and other designated audiences in those states with the appropriate training and disclaimers.

I understand that states that qualify under the criteria listed above are granted permission to use and reproduce these assessment materials, unless specifically excluded by other explicit, contractual agreements created by the SCASS group. This permission does not include the copying or sharing of the materials with individuals outside the state through publishing or disseminating the work in print or in electronic media such as the Internet without special permission of CCSSO and the current member states of the SCASS group.

I will use the CCSSO and the SCASS logos and copyright notice, (CCSSO claims copyright protection in the name of the participating states to the extent the Copyright laws permit) along with any statement about permissions secured from CCSSO and display it on all materials reproduced by my state or persons in my state who are authorized by me. I will provide attribution to CCSSO and the SCASS Science Project and such attribution will be clearly present in whatever form the materials are published.

With full understanding of the above, I agree to abide by the Terms of Use for accessing the website containing the Assessment Items, Events, Tasks, Scored Student Samples, and Rubrics, of the Science SCASS Assessment Project.
