The changes also will appear in this document, which you can access at any time by going to the Terms of Use link at the footer of the Services. By using a Service after changes are made to the Terms of Use you signify that you agree to be bound by such changes. You are responsible for regularly reviewing these Terms of Use. You waive any right you may have to receive individual notice of changes to these Terms of Use.

Unless you have our written consent, you may not use, sell, publish, distribute, retransmit or otherwise provide access to the Content received through the Services to anyone, including, if applicable, your fellow students or employees, with the following exceptions:
2.1.1 For articles that are written and published by us, as indicated by the credit line (e.g., The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s) (the “Proprietary Content”), you may occasionally distribute a copy of an article, or a portion of an article, from a Service in non-electronic form to a few individuals without charge, provided you include all copyright and other proprietary rights notices in the same form in which the notices appear in the Services. Please consult the Dow Jones Reprints web site at djreprints.com if you need to distribute Proprietary Content from a Service to a larger number of individuals, on a regular basis or in any other manner not expressly permitted by this Agreement. For Content that is not Proprietary Content, you should not assume that you have the rights granted in this Section 2.1.1. Your rights of redistribution will be limited to any special terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such Content that are either set forth later on in this Agreement, linked to from this Agreement or are listed on or near the applicable Content set.
2.1.2 To the extent that we feature email or other sharing functionality on a particular article in the Services, you may use email or other featured sharing functionality to share such article with other individuals.
2.1.3 While you may download, store and create an archive of articles from a Service for your personal use, you may not otherwise provide access to such an archive to more than a few individuals on an occasional basis. The foregoing does not apply to any sharing functionality we provide through a Service that expressly allows you to share articles or links to articles with others. In addition, you may not use such an archive for commercial purposes.
2.2 You understand that all third party Content available through the Services is solely the responsibility of the third party Content provider. Without limitation to the foregoing, we are not responsible for listings that are available through the Services. You agree not to rearrange or modify the Content available through a Service.

The framing or scraping of or in-line linking to the Services or any Content contained thereon and/or the use of webcrawler, spidering or other automated means to access, copy, index, process and/or store any Content made available on or through the Services other than as expressly authorized by us is prohibited.
2.3 You further agree to abide by exclusionary protocols (e.g., Robots.txt, Automated Content Access Protocol (ACAP), etc.) that may be used in connection with the Services. You may not access parts of the Services to which you are not authorized, or attempt to circumvent any restrictions imposed on your use or access of the Services.
2.4 As a general rule, you may not use the Content, including without limitation, any Content made available through one of our RSS Feeds, in any commercial product or service, without our express written consent.
2.5 You may not create apps, extensions, or other products and services that use our Content without our permission. You may not aggregate or otherwise use our Content in a manner that could reasonably serve as a substitute for using a Service.
