Career Key License Agreement

TRUST
We trust that you will not make unauthorized copies. We want all Career Key visitors -- especially students, the unemployed, and people on low incomes â€“ to have access to affordable, quality career guidance.

You can help. Respect our copyrights. Making unauthorized copies or sending them to others is illegal and unethical; it harms us.

Your purchases also help. They help defray the thousands of dollars spent each year to develop and maintain the Career Key websites.
