Licence Terms
Important information about your purchase.
Licence for schools
Internal Use - sharing
​
It is our mission is to provide top quality revision and learning support products at a fair price. As part of this mission, all of our products come with a licence to cover use within one centre even in different departments (e.g. E-commerce from Business Studies might be useful for ICT).
Internal use - editing
The centre have control as to how they use the product internally; for example, distributing to students through a VLE or network, editing the presentations or printing copies. We include a PDF version of each file to help you do this.
External use
Our licences do not cover sharing original or amended copies of products by any means. It is up to the responsibility of the centre to ensure no third party is able to access the product at any time. This includes web pages accessible via a search engine. Other centres in the same academy trust or partnership are considered external so products cannot be shared between.
Licence transfer
We understand members of teaching and support staff transfer centres to find new jobs or progress in their career. Many staff will find it in their own interest to take accumulated resources with them; particularly if they have made changes to their preference. Our products are non-transferable. Staff are not able to take any Murphy Resources with them to a new centre (including centres within the same academy trust). This also means you are unable to re-sell the product externally.
​
Refunds and exchanges
Our products are digital download which are different to physical books which carry an ISBN. We are legally bound to comply with the Consumer Rights Act on digital downloads which means we must provide a partial, full refund or exchange if the product is not as described or faulty (e.g. files are missing or damaged). We are unable to refund a purchase if you have changed your mind. If you have purchased the wrong product or changed exam boards within 28 days we may use our discretion to send the correct product, though this is not guaranteed.
​
Failure to comply with the terms of this licence may result in legal action and could bring your establishment into disrepute. Murphy Resources have discretion to decide the most reasonable option in the event of refund or exchange, within legislation.
Licence for individuals
Internal and External use
​
If you have purchased this product as a student for your own use, you may wish to share this with friends and even teachers. The licence covers sharing with friends if they are in the same school. You should do this without making it open to other schools, for example you cannot share on social media (e.g. Facebook), instant messaging (e.g. WhatsApp), shared cloud storage folders (e.g. Dropbox) or forums. You are not allowed to share the product with friends from a different school, even within the same academy trust or partnership.
​
If you do decide to share with somebody in your school, the product will become an internal product of the school, rather than a personal product at home. This means you and your school now have equal responsibility to make sure the product is not shared externally. If you decide not to share it, you may wish to recommend it to your friends instead – our prices are fair and you can help support small business.

We feel our licence terms of use is fair for both sides. If you are unsure whether your practice is in breach of the terms, or for any other query, do not hesitate to get in touch.
Failure to comply with the policy may result in legal action.
