1. Register in order to get the collection
2. Reference the following facts: that the collection consists of the 1994 and 1995 complete editions of Público newspaper (www.publico.pt) and Folha de São Paulo (www.folha.com.br), that it was compiled by Linguateca (www.linguateca.pt), and that this compilation occurred in the framework of CLEF (www.clef-campaign.org)
3. Use it for research and development only; not for reselling or making profit from its direct distribution (on-line or off-line)
4. No results obtained outside the CLEF official campaigns can invoke CLEF's name in a way that implies that the system was assessed within CLEF, i.e., it is not acceptable to compare with results out of contest without clearly stating it. Ideally, one should simply refer to the CHAVE collection.
