These Terms and Conditions for Use of Copyrighted Materials constitute a binding agreement (the "Agreement") made in Silver Spring, Maryland, by Education Network to Advance Cancer Clinical Trials, Inc. ("ENACCT") and each and every person ("Licensee") using copyrighted materials received pursuant to this Agreement.

BACKGROUND

ENACCT is a nonprofit corporation organized and incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland to identify, implement and validate innovative community centered approaches to cancer clinical trials education and for other purposes.

ENACCCT distributes copyrighted educational and training materials for community centered cancer clinical trials education. Some of the materials have been developed by ENACCT, and some of the materials have been developed by other Copyright Holders and made available to ENACCT for distribution to Licensee. These materials have been developed at significant cost but are provided to Licensee without charge for non‑fee distribution and use. This is done for a variety of purposes including, but not limited to, encouraging widespread employment of the materials for educational and training purposes.

ENACCT DOES NOT OFFER SUCH COPYRIGHTED EDUCATIONAL AND TRAINING MATERIALS FOR SALE, AND DOES NOT TRANSFER OWNERSHIP OF COPIES OF SUCH MATERIALS, BUT INSTEAD PERMITS THE USE OF THE MATERIALS UNDER LICENSE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHILE ENACCT RETAINS OWNERSHIP OF EACH INDIVIDUAL COPY OF THE LICENSED MATERIALS.
