PEPPER is copyrighted by the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System (“UW”), and may be downloaded, modified, and distributed for research, clinical, and educational purposes; it may not be included in any product offered for sale. Should you modify and distribute PEPPER, you must not remove any copyright notices, you must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices that you changed the files, and you must ensure that any other recipients of PEPPER or any modified version of PEPPER receive a copy of this license.

PEPPER is intended for use by researchers in communicative disorders and speech-language pathologists certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. It is intended as an aid to provide recommendations to intended users about classifications of speech disorders. Users are expected to exercise their independent judgment to classify speech patterns and should not rely primarily or exclusively on PEPPER for such classification. PEPPER may provide inaccurate results due to user or technical error, or unforeseen circumstances. Links to published papers that provide information underlying recommendations are available on the Phonology Project RESEARCH tab.
PEPPER is provided as a resource in connection with UW’s outreach mission, and is provided on an “as is” basis. UW MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES CONCERNING PEPPER OR ANY OUTCOME THAT MAY BE OBTAINED BY USING OR MODIFYING PEPPER, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL SUCH WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. UW MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION THAT PEPPER WILL OPERATE ERROR FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED.
