3.6 Commercial use of Scratch, user-generated content, and support
materials is permitted under the{' '}
<a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">
Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 license</a>. However,

<section id="user-content">
<span className="nav-spacer"></span>
<h3>4. User-Generated Content and Licensing</h3>
<p>
4.1 For the purposes of the Terms of Use, "user-generated content"
includes any projects, comments, forum posts, or links to third
party websites that a user submits to Scratch.
</p>
<p>
4.2 The Scratch Team encourages everyone to foster creativity by
freely sharing code, art, music, and other works. However, we
also understand the need for individuals and companies to protect
their intellectual property rights. You are responsible for making
sure you have the necessary rights, licenses, or permission for
any user-generated content you submit to Scratch.
</p>
<p>
4.3 All user-generated content you submit to Scratch is licensed
to and through Scratch under the{' '}
<a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">
Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 license</a>. This
allows others to view and remix your content. This license also
allows the Scratch Team to display, distribute, and reproduce
your content on the Scratch website, through social media
channels, and elsewhere. If you do not want to license your
content under this license, then do not share it on Scratch.
</p>
<p>
4.4 You may only submit user-generated projects that were created
with (1) the Scratch website editor or (2) an unmodified copy of
the Scratch editor compiled from the source code described in
Section 5.3. You may not upload any projects that were created, by
you or by anyone else, with a modified version of the Scratch editor.
</p>
<p>
4.5 Although the Scratch Team requires all users to comply with
these Terms of Use, some inappropriate user-generated content
may be submitted and displayed on the Scratch website. You
understand that when you use Scratch you may be exposed to
user-generated content that you find objectionable or offensive.
If you see any content that violates the Community Guidelines
or Terms of Use, please let us know by using the "Report this"
button. You only need to report an item once. The Scratch Team
reviews reported content every day.
</p>
<p>
4.6 In addition to reviewing reported user-generated content, the
Scratch Team reserves the right, but is not obligated, to monitor
all uses of the Scratch service. The Scratch Team may edit, move,
or delete any content that violates the Terms of Use or Community
Guidelines, without notice.
</p>
<p>
4.7 All user-generated content is provided as-is. The Scratch Team
makes no warranties about the accuracy or reliability of any
user-generated content available through Scratch and does not
endorse Scratch Day events or vet or verify information posted in
connection with said events. The Scratch Team does not endorse any
views, opinions, or advice expressed in user-generated content. You
agree to relieve the Scratch Team of any and all liability arising
from your user-generated content and from Scratch Day events you
may organize or host.
</p>
</section>
<section id="scratch-content">
<span className="nav-spacer"></span>
<h3>5. Scratch Content and Licensing</h3>
<p>
5.1 Except for any user-generated content, the Scratch Team owns and
retains all rights in and to the Scratch code, the design,
functionality, and architecture of Scratch, and any software or
content provided through Scratch (collectively "the Scratch IP").
If you want to use Scratch in a way that is not allowed by these
Terms of Use, you must first contact the Scratch Team. Except for
any rights explicitly granted under these Terms of Use, you are not
granted any rights in and to any Scratch IP.
</p>
<p>
5.2 Scratch provides support materials, including images, sounds,
video, and sample code, to help users build projects. Support materials
are licensed under the{' '}
<a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">
Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 license</a>. You may also
use screenshots of Scratch under the same license. Please note that
this does not apply to materials that are also trademarked by the
Scratch Team or other parties as described in parts 5.4 and 5.5, below.
<br/>
The Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 license requires you to
attribute any material you use to the original author. When you use
Scratch support materials, or screenshots of the Scratch website,
please use the following attribution: "Scratch is developed by the
Lifelong Kindergarten Group at the MIT Media Lab. See
http://scratch.mit.edu."
</p>
<p>
5.3 The source code for Scratch 1.4 is available for download and subject
to the copyright notice as indicated on the <a href="/info/faq">Scratch FAQ</a>
{' '}page.
</p>
<p>
5.4 The Scratch name, Scratch logo, Scratch Day logo, Scratch Cat, and Gobo
are Trademarks owned by the Scratch Team. The MIT name and logo are Trademarks
owned by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Unless you are licensed by
Scratch under a specific licensing program or agreement, you may not use
these logos to label, promote, or endorse any product or service. You may use
the Scratch Logo to refer to the Scratch website and programming language.
</p>
<p>
5.5 The Scratch support materials library may contain images and sounds that
are trademarked by third parties. The fact that materials are included in
the Scratch support materials library does not in any way limit or reduce
intellectual property rights, including trademark rights, otherwise
available to the materials' owners. Nothing in these Terms of Use or the
Creative Commons 2.0 license will be construed to limit or reduce any
party's rights in that party's valid trademarks. You may not use these
materials to label, promote, or endorse any product or service. You are
solely responsible for any violation of a third party's intellectual
property rights caused by your misuse of these materials.

<h3>12. Jurisdiction</h3>

<section id="choice-of-law">
<span className="nav-spacer"></span>
<h3>13. Choice of Law and Venue</h3>
<p>
You agree that these Terms of Use, for all purposes, shall be governed
and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts applicable to contracts to be wholly performed therein,

States using Scratch in your official capacity and legally unable to
accept the controlling law, jurisdiction or venue clauses above, then
those clauses do not apply to you. For such U.S. federal government
entities, these Terms and any action related thereto will be governed

<h3>Appendix A: Additional Terms for Scratch Day Website</h3>
<p>
The following additional terms also govern your access to and use of web
pages hosted within day.scratch.mit.edu/ (collectively, the “Scratch Day
Site”). All of the terms set forth in the general Terms of Use above also
apply to the Scratch Day Site, unless we clearly state otherwise.
</p>
<h4>1. Privacy Policy</h4>
<p>
The Scratch Day Site Privacy Policy, not the Scratch Privacy Policy,
describes how the Scratch Team uses, collects, and stores information
it collects through the Scratch Day Site. By using the Scratch Day
Site, you agree that you are comfortable with the Privacy Policy.
</p>
<h4>2. Account Creation and Maintenance</h4>
<p>
2.1 In order to post an event to the Scratch Day Site, you will need
to register and create an account. This account is a separate account
from your Scratch account. All registrants must be over 18 years of
age. When registering for a personal account, you will be asked to
provide certain personal information, such as your email address,
first and last name, and Scratch username (optional). Please see the
Scratch Day Site Privacy Policy for Scratch’s data retention and usage
policies.
</p>
<p>
2.2 You are responsible for keeping your password secret and your account
secure. You are solely responsible for any use of your account, even if
your account is used by another person. If any use of your account
violates the Terms of Use, your account may be suspended or deleted.
</p>
<p>
2.3 If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure
(for example, in the event of a loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure
of your password), promptly change your password. If you cannot access
your account to change your password, notify us at{' '}
<a href="mailto:scratchday@media.mit.edu">scratchday@media.mit.edu</a>
</p>
<p>
2.4 The terms set forth in this section apply to the Scratch Day Site.
The Account Creation and Maintenance terms in the general Terms of Use
do not apply to the Scratch Day Site.
</p>
<h4>3. No Endorsement</h4>
<p>
You understand that neither MIT, nor the Scratch Team, nor the Code to
Learn Foundation endorses any Scratch Day event. If you are hosting a
Scratch Day event, you may not state or imply that MIT, the Scratch
Team, or the Code to Learn Foundation has endorsed your event.
</p>
</section>
<section id="appendix-b">
<span className="nav-spacer"></span>
<h3>Appendix B: Additional Terms for ScratchX Website</h3>
<p>
The following additional terms also govern your access to and use of web
pages hosted within scratchx.org (collectively, the “ScratchX Site”).
All of the terms set forth in the general Terms of Use above also apply
to the ScratchX Site, unless we clearly state otherwise.
</p>
<h4>1. ScratchX and GitHub</h4>
<p>
The ScratchX Site provides a platform for developers to link their
experimental extensions to Scratch. However, we do not host those
extensions or save them on the ScratchX site. All the extensions loaded
on to ScratchX are hosted publicly on independent developers’ accounts
on GitHub. Your use of GitHub is subject to GitHub’s Terms of Service
and Privacy.
</p>
<h4>2. Privacy Policy</h4>
<p>
The ScratchX Site Privacy Policy, not the Scratch Privacy Policy,
describes how the Scratch Team uses, collects, and stores information
it collects through the ScratchX Site. By using the ScratchX Site, you
agree to the terms of the Privacy Policy.
</p>
<h4>3. No Endorsement</h4>
<p>
By using ScratchX, you understand that neither MIT, nor the Scratch Team,
nor the Code to Learn Foundation endorses any ScratchX experimental
extension. If you are a developer linking to your own experimental
extension via the ScratchX site, you may not state or imply that MIT,
the Scratch Team, or the Code to Learn Foundation has endorsed your
extension.
