This addendum is incorporated into the Order Form and the Master Terms and Conditions and together, along with any other addendums identified on the Order Form, form the “Agreement.” Any capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Master Terms and Conditions.

1. Service. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Instructure grants to Customer a license to access and use the Academic Benchmark product offerings set forth on the Order Form for the term specified on the Order Form (the “License”). Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 2 of the Master Terms and Conditions to the contrary, Customer may provide access to and permit use of the Curriculum Standards and/or Content Management Systems to its clients for use solely in conjunction with such client’s use of Customer’s products. In the event Customer’s client has purchased a license to use Global Unique Identifiers from Instructure, Customer may also provide access to and permit use of the Global Unique Identifiers to such client. For the avoidance of doubt, Customer shall be prohibited from providing access to, permitting use of, or otherwise sharing any Global Unique Identifier with any client or other third party unless such client or other third party has purchased a current license to use such Global Unique Identifiers from Instructure.

2. Customer Academic Benchmark Restrictions. Customer shall (and shall require its clients to) (i) keep all non-public information comprising the AB Content and/or Content Management Systems confidential, (ii) not reproduce, copy, distribute, sublicense, lease, rent, loan or otherwise transfer to any third party (except as permitted by this Agreement) the AB Content or Content Management Systems or any of the Customer’s rights to the AB Content or Content Management Systems (including by way of creating Internet “links” or “framing” or “mirroring” any web-based AB Content or Content Management Systems).

3. No Ownership/Intellectual Property. Customer acknowledges that it has no ownership claims in the AB Content or the Content Management Systems (collectively, the “AB Intellectual Property”). Customer acknowledges that Instructure retains all rights under copyright and all other intellectual property rights in and to the AB Intellectual Property, as well as all revisions, modifications, translations, or other adaptations or transformations thereof. Nothing in this Agreement shall give Customer any right, title, or interest in AB Intellectual Property other than the rights specifically granted above.
