Below are the legal terms that govern our practices on the
Web and your use of our Website. We believe they outline proper
business practices. A brief summary of our terms is as follows:
- Respect our intellectual property and that of others.
- You may not redistribute our product. We encourage you to use it and enjoy it. We are providing this digital physics curriculum during an evaluation period for your own personal use and you may not sell or provide it to others.
- These prohibitions exist in part because we do not want old versions of the product being hosted on random servers. This product will be updated and we want users to benefit from both increasing amounts of content and bug fixes.
These terms and conditions of use apply exclusively to your
access to and use of the Kinetic Books Company (KBooks)
Website (the Site) and do not alter in any way
the terms and conditions of any other agreement you may have
with KBooks for products, services, or otherwise. For the

shall be deemed part of the Site.
