The Site is controlled and operated by UT Law CLE from its offices within the United States.

Additional terms and conditions may apply to your purchase of UT Law CLE products or services and to certain provisions or pages of the Site as noted therein. You acknowledge and agree that your rights and responsibilities will be governed by such other terms and conditions as provided in any applicable purchase agreements or invoices. In the event there is a conflict between these Terms of Use and the terms provided in an applicable purchase agreement or invoice for any product or service offered through the Site, the terms of such purchase agreement or invoice shall govern.

Except as otherwise provided on the Site, all rights, title and interest (including all copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights) in this Site belong to UT Law CLE or another party that has licensed their material to UT Law CLE.
