3 YEAR SITE/LOCAL STREAMING LICENSES

A site/local streaming license grants a purchasing institution (the Licensee) the rights to encode digital streaming files in any file format from any DVD or digital file already purchased from Erin Palmquist (or purchased at the same time as the license). Note that the digital file only does not include CC or subtitles. For these, the DVD must be purchased or the files can be provided separately if your institution has the ability to incorporate them in your streaming platform.

For a period of 3 years from the purchase date, licensees may deliver the contents of these files via password-protected digital streaming only to registered students, accredited researchers, faculty and staff of that institution. Files may be used for in-class instruction, inclusion in course management software, library research, extracurricular activities, public performances (provided admission is not charged) and any other activity directly administered by the licensing campus. Content of the files (the video program) may not be altered or edited in any way. The licensing institution must guarantee a password-protected environment without the ability of a user to download the program.

Licensees may not telecast, cablecast or deliver from any website open to the public any content licensed under this agreement nor may they lend, rent or donate any of the licensed content to another organization or campus for use in activities. Films licensed for institutional use may only be shared within any single, geographically unified campus. Sharing of streamed Erin Palmquist content between two or more campuses, or with other institutions, or with individuals, classes or groups who are not specifically affiliated through employment or enrollment with the licensee is not permitted without the express authorization of Erin Palmquist.
