Licence Terms of Use

Effective June 2026

These Licence Terms of Use govern the materials you purchase from Spark Literacy Innovations Group ("we," "us," or "our"), including all Structured Steps to Writing (SSW) products. They describe what you may and may not do with the files. They are separate from our website Terms and Conditions, which govern use of the site itself.

1. Your licence

Each purchase grants you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the materials as described below.

Licence type: Individual Educator Licence

This licence covers one (1) educator for use with their own students.

Need to share with colleagues? Multi-seat and school site licences are available. Contact us at hello@slinnovations.com.

2. What you may do

Print and use these materials with your own students in your classroom, learning centre, or private tutoring practice.
Make photocopies of student-facing pages (workbook pages, activity sheets, response sheets) for the students you personally teach.
Save digital files to your own device or personal cloud storage for your own use.
Use these materials as long as you are actively teaching, with no expiry on your access.
Adapt pacing and delivery to meet the needs of your individual students.

3. What you may not do

Share, distribute, upload, or post any file (or portion of any file) to any website, drive, platform, or network accessible to others outside of your licence.
Share login credentials or downloaded files with colleagues, co-teachers, or other educators. Each educator requires their own licence.
Copy, reproduce, or adapt lesson plans, teacher scripts, graphic organizers, or assessment materials for use in a product you create or sell.
Use these materials in a tutoring or intervention program you run commercially without purchasing the correct licence tier.
Remove, alter, or obscure any copyright notice, trademark, or branding from any file.
Upload files to TPT or Canva for any purpose, or to Google Classroom or any other platform in a way that makes them accessible to anyone other than your own students.
Upload, input, or submit any SSW content into any artificial intelligence tool, chatbot, or AI training platform, whether for personal use, content generation, or any other purpose.

Please note: Sharing files is not a workaround for purchasing additional licences. Direct colleagues to slinnovations.com for their own licence, or contact us at hello@slinnovations.com about multi-seat options.

4. Multi-seat and school licences

If more than one educator at your school or learning centre will be using SSW materials, a multi-seat or site licence is required. Licences are priced per educator, not per student.

6. Artificial intelligence and content protection

SSW materials are original, copyrighted works. You may not upload, input, paste, or otherwise submit any portion of these materials into any artificial intelligence tool, AI assistant, chatbot, language model, or AI training platform for any purpose.

This prohibition covers:

Uploading lesson plans, teacher scripts, or activity sheets to AI tools to generate new or similar materials.
Pasting SSW content into an AI chatbot or assistant to summarize, adapt, or repurpose it.
Submitting any SSW content to platforms that use user inputs to train AI models.
Using AI-generated derivatives of SSW content in your own products or publications.

This rule applies regardless of whether the AI tool is free, commercial, or used for personal purposes only.

7. Updates and revisions

From time to time, we may update or revise SSW materials. When updates are available, you will be notified by email at the address provided at purchase. Updated files are provided at no additional cost.

8. Governing law

These Licence Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
