Please consult the Dow Jones Reprints web site at djreprints.com if you need to distribute Proprietary Content from a Service to a larger number of individuals, on a regular basis or in any other manner not expressly permitted by this Agreement. For Content that is not Proprietary Content, you should not assume that you have the rights granted in this Section 2.1.1.

2.1.3 While you may download, store and create an archive of articles from a Service for your personal use, you may not otherwise provide access to such an archive to more than a few individuals on an occasional basis. The foregoing does not apply to any sharing functionality we provide through a Service that expressly allows you to share articles or links to articles with others. In addition, you may not use such an archive for commercial purposes.
