Terms of Use for International Platforms

If you are in the United States, please go to our Terms of Use for United States users.

These terms and conditions (the “Terms of Use”) apply to all international web sites and applications (collectively, the “Sites”) owned and operated by McGraw Hill LLC or one of our affiliated companies (“McGraw Hill" or "us" or "we"). By registering for or otherwise using any of our Sites or Services (as defined below) or accessing any content or material that we make available through the Services or Sites, you agree to these Terms of Use.
