Terms of Use
Understanding the conditions that apply when you use BBGPResources.com
BBGPResources.com provides educational information and resources intended to help people better understand bullying-related issues, prevention, preparedness, communication, reporting and help-seeking, and related matters.
These Terms of Use explain the general conditions that apply when you access and use the BBGPResources.com website.
They govern ordinary website use.
Some resources available through BBGPResources.com may have additional or different terms because they are purchased, licensed, professionally distributed, or expressly offered with expanded rights. Those specific rights are addressed separately.
The basic distinction is:
GENERAL TERMS GOVERN THE WEBSITE.
SPECIFIC LICENSES GOVERN THEIR SPECIFIC EXPANDED RIGHTS.
What These Terms Govern
These Terms apply to ordinary access to and use of BBGPResources.com and its publicly available website content.
They help establish reasonable expectations concerning:
using the website;
using publicly available educational information;
respecting applicable content and intellectual-property boundaries;
using website functions appropriately;
following links to outside resources;
understanding that website materials and availability may change;
and recognizing when another BBGPResources.com policy or a resource-specific license governs a particular issue.
These Terms do not replace the separate policies and resource-specific terms identified later on this page.
Using BBGPResources.com
You may use BBGPResources.com for ordinary lawful purposes consistent with the educational and resource functions of the website.
That includes reading and learning from publicly available educational information, exploring resources, following available educational pathways, and using website functions for their intended purposes.
Please use the website in a way that does not interfere with its operation, misuse its functions, or improperly interfere with other people’s ability to access the environment.
Ordinary access to BBGPResources.com does not give a visitor ownership of the website or its materials.
Reasonable Use Boundaries
When using BBGPResources.com, do not intentionally use the website itself to:
- interfere with or disrupt its operation;
- attempt unauthorized access to restricted website systems or functions;
- deliberately misuse website features in ways inconsistent with their intended function;
- use website materials in violation of applicable rights or permissions;
- impersonate another person when a website function makes identity relevant; or
- use BBGPResources.com as a vehicle for unlawful activity.
These boundaries are intended to protect ordinary operation of the website.
Educational Information
BBGPResources.com provides general educational information and resources.
Educational information can help visitors understand issues, recognize considerations, prepare questions, explore prevention and help-seeking concepts, and become better prepared to participate in matters affecting them.
General website information, however, cannot determine exactly what a particular person should do in every individual circumstance.
When individualized professional judgment or action is required, visitors should consider consulting an appropriately qualified professional, organization, or responsible authority.
The complete explanation of this boundary belongs to the Educational Information & Disclaimer page.
These Terms do not replace that page.
Submitting information through BBGPResources.com should also not be treated as making an official report to a responsible authority or as requesting emergency assistance.
Ordinary Access and Content Rights
Access to BBGPResources.com allows visitors to use the website and its publicly available information in the ordinary ways intended by the site.
It does not automatically grant expanded rights to reproduce, redistribute, resell, modify, republish, or rebrand website materials.
Different resources can carry different authorized uses.
The complete rights architecture is explained in:
Copyright, Intellectual Property & Authorized Use
These Terms intentionally do not reproduce that full rights system.
Purchased and Licensed Resources
Some resources available through BBGPResources.com may be offered for purchase or under specific use or licensing terms.
A purchased or licensed resource may carry rights that differ from those associated with ordinary website access.
Where a specific resource includes its own applicable terms, purchaser-rights document, professional license, distribution license, PLR license, authorized-rebranding license, or other expressly stated permissions, those specific terms determine the additional rights granted for that resource.
Accordingly:
GENERAL WEBSITE ACCESS → TERMS OF USE
SPECIFIC PURCHASED OR LICENSED RESOURCE → APPLICABLE PRODUCT TERMS OR LICENSE
These Terms do not erase, reduce, rewrite, or supersede additional rights legitimately granted through a specific product license.
Likewise, expanded rights granted for one particular resource do not automatically apply to unrelated BBGPResources.com material.
Purchases and Commerce
BBGPResources.com may make some educational or professional resources available for purchase or licensing.
Specific purchase or licensing conditions are provided through the terms applicable to the particular transaction or resource.
These general Terms do not establish transaction-specific conditions unless those conditions are expressly stated as part of the applicable purchase or licensing process.
Accounts and Registration
If BBGPResources.com provides account, registration, login, or similar functionality, any conditions specifically governing those functions will be provided with or through the applicable function.
These Terms should not be interpreted as establishing account-specific conditions that are not otherwise stated.
Third-Party Links and Resources
BBGPResources.com may refer or link visitors to websites, resources, services, information, organizations, or other materials provided by third parties.
Those outside environments may have their own content, practices, policies, terms, and conditions.
A link or reference from BBGPResources.com should not automatically be interpreted as a representation about every aspect of an outside site’s security, privacy, accessibility, accuracy, availability, or practices.
Likewise, the presence of an external link does not by itself mean that every statement, service, or practice of the outside provider has been adopted by BBGPResources.com.
Third-party resources may still be useful. The purpose of this distinction is simply to make clear that outside environments remain separately operated and controlled.
Website Content May Change
BBGPResources.com is a developing educational and resource environment.
Information and resources may therefore be added, revised, updated, reorganized, relocated, or discontinued as the environment develops.
Links or destinations may also change over time.
Although the goal is to maintain a useful and functional educational environment, uninterrupted availability of every page, resource, feature, or external destination cannot reasonably be guaranteed.
This provision does not create a broader right to disregard resource-specific commitments or terms that may separately apply.
Using Information Responsibly
Educational information is most useful when it is considered in relation to the circumstances in which it will be used.
Visitors should recognize that laws, school policies, workplace procedures, organizational rules, professional standards, and other requirements can differ across circumstances and may change.
When information must be current, authoritative, or specific to an individual situation, it may be appropriate to verify that information with the responsible source or seek appropriately qualified assistance.
For the fuller educational boundary, visitors should review the Educational Information & Disclaimer.
Accessibility
BBGPResources.com intends to make its educational information and resources as usable and accessible as reasonably possible for people with disabilities.
The website’s accessibility commitment, assistance and feedback orientation, continuing-improvement approach, and related information are addressed in the separate:
Accessibility Statement
Privacy and Website Technology
Information about applicable privacy and website information practices is addressed through the Privacy Policy and other privacy information provided by BBGPResources.com where appropriate.
These Terms do not replace those privacy disclosures.
Young People and Educational Content
BBGPResources.com may provide educational information relevant to children and teenagers as well as parents, families, educators, schools, professionals, organizations, and other visitors.
The presence of educational information relevant to young people does not by itself establish additional website-use, account, consent, or information-collection conditions.
Where particular conditions apply to a website function or resource, they should be identified through the information governing that function or resource.
Changes to These Terms
BBGPResources.com may revise these Terms as the website, resources, or applicable operating conditions develop.
The current public version of these Terms should be reviewed when you need to understand the conditions applying to ordinary website use.
Relationship to Other BBGPResources.com Policies
BBGPResources.com uses separate protective destinations because different questions require different answers.
Educational Information & Disclaimer
Explains the distinction between general educational information and individualized professional advice, intervention, investigation, or emergency response.
Copyright, Intellectual Property & Authorized Use
Explains ordinary content-use boundaries, different resource-rights classes, image and brand considerations, and the relationship between ordinary access and specifically licensed rights.
Accessibility Statement
Explains the website’s accessibility commitment, assistance and feedback orientation, and continuing-improvement approach.
Privacy Policy
