Remember that Terms of Use (TOU) are intended to clearly convey your intentions to users of your site. As such, you should ensure that they are easy to find, easy to understand, and take advantage of the capacities of Internet to automatically sort and aggregate information subject to different licensing terms. The guide provides specific recommendations for achieving these goals. It is worth examining the TOU on your site, or the site that hosts your resources, carefully to ensure that users who are unfamiliar with copyright, Creative Commons, or open educational resources will still be able to quickly understand what rights they have been granted for using the resources within.
