Terms & Conditions

Breakthrough Product Usage Policies

Are Breakthrough Products Copyrighted?

Yes. All Breakthrough products (television ads, radio ads, documentary videos, animations, music videos, sound tracks, video games, interactive web experiences, blogs, curriculums, research papers & study guides) are distributed under a Creative Commons (CC) license. This doesn’t replace copyright — which remains undivided with Breakthrough (Breakthrough Trust)– but it makes the terms more flexible. Anyone is free to download our products from inbreakthrough.org (or future sites); share them with friends; republish or embed them on their website or blog. But this use must be made within the terms of the CC license “Attribution — NonCommercial — Non Derivative.”
