Acceptable Use Policy

A Plus Teacher Club is designed to allow individual users to download from a large range of premium teaching resources for their own needs.

A Plus Teacher Club considers that no user would reasonably need to download more than 100 resources each month and accounts exceeding this download level are subject to review.
