NJ PBS provides this website to connect people with public television, journalism, educational resources, and information about New Jersey. NJ PBS is operated by Montclair State University and is housed at the university’s College of Communication and Media.
These terms apply to njpbs.org and any NJ PBS online service that expressly links to them. By using these services, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue your use.
Using this website
You may use this website for lawful purposes, including watching programs, reading and sharing links to our reporting, finding educational resources, and learning about NJ PBS.
You agree not to:
Interfere with the website’s operation, security, or availability.
Attempt to access systems, files, or information without authorization.
Upload malicious software or use automated requests in a way that disrupts service.
Collect another person’s private information without authorization.
Impersonate another person or organization, misrepresent your identity, or submit fraudulent information.
Use the website to threaten or harass others, send spam, or violate someone’s privacy or intellectual property rights.
Bypass restrictions on access to programs, accounts, or other protected services.
These rules do not prohibit ordinary search-engine indexing, accessibility tools, or other lawful uses that do not interfere with the website or violate applicable rights.
Copyright and sharing
Material on this website may belong to NJ PBS, PBS, program producers, journalists, photographers, contributors, or other rights holders.
You are welcome to share links to our pages and use authorized sharing tools under their stated conditions. Other uses of protected material may require permission. Our Copyright and permissions page explains personal use, republication, educational use, permissions requests, and copyright concerns.
Nothing in these terms limits fair use, use of public-domain material, or other rights provided by applicable law. If a particular item carries a separate license or permission statement, that statement governs the uses it authorizes.
Privacy
Our Privacy policy explains how information is handled on this website and how to make privacy requests or manage available choices.
Accepting these terms does not replace any separate consent required for optional analytics, newsletter tools, or other services.
Photos, videos, and other submissions
If you use a feature that accepts photos, videos, stories, or other material, follow the eligibility requirements and submission terms shown with that feature. Submit only material you are legally entitled to provide, and accurately describe its source and any restrictions on its use.
You retain ownership of material you submit unless a separate agreement states otherwise. Sending material allows NJ PBS to receive, store, and review it and to contact you about it. Permission to edit, publish, broadcast, distribute, promote, or archive the material is governed by the release or other terms presented when you submit it, or by a separate agreement with NJ PBS.
Submission does not guarantee publication, payment, or a response. NJ PBS may decline material or remove it from its services, subject to applicable law and any agreement governing the submission.
A news tip, request for help, or private message is not automatically a submission for public distribution. Contact the newsroom to discuss appropriate handling before sending sensitive or confidential material.
PBS and other services
Some services linked to or available through this website are operated by PBS or other organizations. These include PBS-hosted video, PBS Passport, account sign-in, donation tools, newsletters, and social media platforms.
Those services may have their own terms, privacy policies, eligibility rules, and technical requirements. Review the terms presented by the service you use. NJ PBS cannot grant access or usage rights beyond those offered by the service provider or content owner.
A link to another website does not, by itself, mean NJ PBS endorses that website’s content, products, or services.
For donation, membership, or Passport questions, contact NJ PBS using the information below.
Accuracy and availability
We work to provide accurate information and dependable service. However, website content may contain errors or become outdated. Broadcast schedules, program availability, links, and features may change.
News stories and archived material reflect information available when they were published or last updated. Their continued availability does not mean every detail remains current.
If you find an error or technical problem, contact NJ PBS and include the page address and a description of the issue. We may correct, update, move, or remove content and may temporarily interrupt services for maintenance, security, or other operational needs.
Warranties and limitations of liability
The website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the extent permitted by law, NJ PBS disclaims express or implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and noninfringement. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service.
To the extent permitted by law, NJ PBS and Montclair State University will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website.
These provisions do not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limit rights that cannot be waived.
Governing law
These terms are governed by applicable federal law and the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles.
Nothing in these terms waives any immunity, defense, or other protection available to Montclair State University under applicable law, or changes any legally required procedure for bringing a claim.
If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms to reflect changes in the website, our services, or applicable requirements. Updated terms will appear on this page and apply prospectively. We will provide additional notice or request consent when required by law.
