The important point
The licence displayed on each individual TES resource listing is the licence that controls use of that resource. A resource being free to download does not by itself place it in the public domain.
1. Scope
This page explains the licensing position for teaching resources published under the CP3 Maths name, particularly resources made available through TES. It does not replace the licence displayed by TES for an individual resource.
2. Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike resources
Current free CP3 Maths resources identified on their TES listing as Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (“CC BY-SA”) may be shared and adapted under the version of that licence stated on the listing. If a version is not stated clearly, do not assume a version; check the listing or ask CP3 Maths before relying on a particular version.
CC BY-SA normally requires users who share the resource or an adaptation to:
- give appropriate credit to CP3 Maths and any other attribution parties named with the resource;
- link to the original TES listing where reasonably practicable;
- identify the applicable Creative Commons licence and link to it;
- say whether changes were made; and
- license adapted material under the same or a compatible ShareAlike licence.
Creative Commons provides a plain-language summary of CC BY-SA 4.0. That page is helpful guidance, but the specific licence version displayed on the resource listing still controls.
Example attribution: “Adapted from [resource title] by CP3 Maths, available on TES, licensed under the CC BY-SA licence shown on the original listing. Changes were made.”
3. TES Teaching Resource Licence
Some TES resources, including some older free resources, may instead be offered under the TES Teaching Resource Licence. TES states that this is not a Creative Commons licence. Where that licence is shown, its permissions and restrictions apply and the TES listing remains the source of truth.
4. Material not covered by a resource licence
Unless expressly stated otherwise, the following are not licensed under a teaching resource’s Creative Commons licence:
- the TILES software, source code, interface and Algebra Tiles Board;
- CP3 Maths and TILES names, logos, app icons and branding;
- website design, custom icons and legal documents;
- third-party material carrying its own licence or attribution; and
- material outside the downloadable resource identified by the TES listing.
5. Third-party content
A resource may contain fonts, images, extracts or other components used under separate terms, a statutory exception or with permission. Any separate notice supplied with that component continues to apply. A CP3 Maths licence cannot grant rights that CP3 Maths does not own.
6. No endorsement and no warranties
Attribution must not suggest that CP3 Maths or TES endorses the user or an adaptation. Resources are educational materials supplied without a guarantee that they are suitable for every curriculum, learner, device or purpose. Statutory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded remain unaffected.
7. Questions and permissions
For licensing questions or permission outside the licence shown on TES, email support@cp3maths.com and identify the exact resource and its TES link.
