DBQ Online Terms of Use

Please read this Terms of Use Policy carefully before using DBQ Site and Services. This policy governs your access to
DBQ Online. As explained more fully below, DBQ created all of the content that you will have access to on DBQ Online,
including the videos, pictures, stories, charts, questions and other materials. We have invested time and effort in
making these materials rich resources for staff and students. Your school’s contract with DBQ allows staff in your school
building and your students to have full access to these materials. It does not allow you to share these materials with
people outside of your school building. For example, you cannot post any of these materials on your school or District
website in a way that would allow others outside of the school to view them. If you do not agree to any of these terms,
then please do not use DBQ Online.

We reserve the right to modify and update these Terms of Use from time to time.
