CollegeSpring Terms of Service

Last Updated: April 20, 2023

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in CollegeSpring, Inc. (“CollegeSpring,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) and our website, along with our related websites, hosted applications, and other services provided by us (collectively, the “Service”). These Terms of Service are a legally binding contract between you and CollegeSpring regarding your use of the Service.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS CAREFULLY:

BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT,” OR BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING, OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD, AND, AS A CONDITION TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY, THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING COLLEGESPRING’S PRIVACY POLICY [https://collegespring.org/services-privacy/] (TOGETHER, THESE “TERMS”). If you are not eligible, or do not agree to the Terms, then you do not have our permission to use the Service. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, AND COLLEGESPRING’S PROVISION OF THE SERVICE TO YOU, CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT BY COLLEGESPRING AND BY YOU TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.

Arbitration NOTICE. Except for certain kinds of disputes described in Section 16 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration), you agree that disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, and BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU AND COLLEGESPRING ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE INTEGRATION NOTICE. You understand and agree that to use the service you also agree to the terms and conditions set forth in the agilix LABS, INC. (“Agilix”) END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT as described in Section 17.4.

1. CollegeSpring Service Overview. These Terms provide information about CollegeSpring’s test preparation program and classroom curriculum. “Teachers” use the Service as an instructional aid for members of their classroom (“Students”). CollegeSpring registers Students based on a roster provided by their Teacher shared with CollegeSpring.  Students can interact with the Service by accessing the curriculum, practice tests, practice problems, participating in interactive games, and otherwise engaging with CollegeSpring content or the User Content uploaded by Teachers.

2. Eligibility. The term “user” and “you” used throughout these Terms refers to both Teachers and Students using the Service. You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are at least 13 years old; (b) you have not previously been suspended or removed from the Service; and (c) your registration and your use of the Service is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations. If you are an entity, organization, non-profit, school, school district, or company, the individual accepting these Terms on your behalf represents and warrants that they have authority to bind you to these Terms and you agree to be bound by these Terms.

3. Accounts and Registration. After receiving a confirmatory roster from your school, school district, or other organization as applicable, CollegeSpring will enroll you in the appropriate classroom and provide you with log-in credentials, including an initial password, and a URL to access the Service. After logging in the first time, you may change your log-in password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password, and you accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If you believe that your account is no longer secure, then you should immediately notify us at support@collegespring.org.

4. Licenses

By using one of these tools, you hereby authorize that CollegeSpring to transfer that information to the applicable third-party service. Third-party services are not under CollegeSpring’s control, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, CollegeSpring is not responsible for any third-party service’s use of your exported information.

7.4 You Must Have Rights to the Content You Post; User Content Representations and Warranties. You must not Post User Content if you are not the owner of or are not fully authorized to grant rights in all of the elements of that User Content, including in all ambient music and underlying musical works embodied in any sound recording. CollegeSpring disclaims any and all liability in connection with User Content. You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of providing User Content via the Service. By providing User Content via the Service, you affirm, represent, and warrant to us that:

(a) you are the creator and owner of the User Content, or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to authorize CollegeSpring to use and distribute your User Content as necessary to exercise the licenses granted by you in this Section, in the manner contemplated by CollegeSpring, the Service, and these Terms;

CollegeSpring may, however, at any time and without prior notice, screen, remove, edit, or block any User Content that in our sole judgment violates these Terms, is alleged to violate the rights of third parties, or is otherwise objectionable. You understand that, when using the Service, you will be exposed to User Content from a variety of sources and acknowledge that User Content may be inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable. You agree to waive, and do waive, any legal or equitable right or remedy you have or may have against CollegeSpring with respect to User Content. If notified by a user or content owner that User Content allegedly does not conform to these Terms, we may investigate the allegation and determine in our sole discretion whether to remove the User Content, which we reserve the right to do at any time and without notice. For clarity, CollegeSpring does not permit infringing activities on the Service.

7.6 Monitoring Content. CollegeSpring does not control and does not have any obligation to monitor: (a) User Content; (b) any content made available by third parties; or (c) the use of the Service by its users. You acknowledge and agree that CollegeSpring reserves the right to, and may from time to time, monitor any and all information transmitted or received through the Service for operational and other purposes. If at any time CollegeSpring chooses to monitor the content, then CollegeSpring still assumes no responsibility or liability for content, or any loss or damage incurred as a result of the use of content. During monitoring, information may be examined, recorded, copied, and used in accordance with our Privacy Policy (defined below). CollegeSpring may block, filter, mute, remove or disable access to any User Content uploaded to or transmitted through the Service without any liability to you or to any other users of the Service.

10. Intellectual Property Rights Protection

10.1 Respect of Third-Party Rights. CollegeSpring respects the intellectual property rights of others, takes the protection of intellectual property rights very seriously, and asks users of the Service to do the same. Infringing activity will not be tolerated on or through the Service.

10.2 DMCA Notification. We comply with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act applicable to Internet service providers (17 U.S.C. § 512, as amended). If you have an intellectual property rights-related complaint about any material on the Service, you may contact our Designated Agent at the following address:

CollegeSpring, Inc.

Attn: Legal Department (IP Notification)
1990 N California Blvd, Suite 20

Walnut Creek, CA 94596
Email: copyright@collegespring.org

10.3 Procedure for Reporting Claimed Infringement. If you believe that any content made available on or through the Service has been used or exploited in a manner that infringes an intellectual property right you own or control, then please promptly send a written “Notification of Claimed Infringement” to the Designated Agent identified above containing the following information:

(a) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other right being infringed;

(b) a description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property right that you claim has been infringed;

(c) a description of the material that you claim is infringing and where it is located on the Service;

(d) your address, telephone number, and email address;

(e) a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the use of the materials on the Service of which you are complaining is not authorized by the copyright or other intellectual property right owner, its agent, or the law; and

(f) a statement by you that the above information in your notice is accurate and that, under penalty of perjury, you are the copyright or other intellectual property right owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.

Your Notification of Claimed Infringement may be shared by CollegeSpring with the user alleged to have infringed a right you own or control as well as with the operators of publicly available databases that track notifications of claimed infringement, and you consent to CollegeSpring making such disclosures. You should consult with your own lawyer or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to confirm your obligations to provide a valid notice of claimed infringement.

10.4 Repeat Infringers. CollegeSpring’s policy is to: (a) remove or disable access to material that CollegeSpring believes in good faith, upon notice from an intellectual property rights owner or authorized agent, is infringing the intellectual property rights of a third party by being made available through the Service; and (b) in appropriate circumstances, to terminate the accounts of and block access to the Service by any user who repeatedly or egregiously infringes other people’s copyright or other intellectual property rights. CollegeSpring will terminate the accounts of users that are determined by CollegeSpring to be repeat infringers. CollegeSpring reserves the right, however, to suspend or terminate accounts of users in our sole discretion.

10.5 Counter Notification. If you receive a notification from CollegeSpring that material made available by you on or through the Service has been the subject of a Notification of Claimed Infringement, then you will have the right to provide CollegeSpring with what is called a “Counter Notification.” To be effective, a Counter Notification must be in writing, provided to CollegeSpring’s Designated Agent through one of the methods identified in Section 10.2 (DMCA Notification), and include substantially the following information:

(a) your physical or electronic signature;

(b) identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;

(c) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and

(d) your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if you are residing outside of the United States, then for any judicial district in which CollegeSpring may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under Section 10.2 (DMCA Notification) above or an agent of that person.

A party submitting a Counter Notification should consult a lawyer or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to confirm the party’s obligations to provide a valid counter notification under the Copyright Act.

10.6 Reposting of Content Subject to a Counter Notification. If you submit a Counter Notification to CollegeSpring in response to a Notification of Claimed Infringement, then CollegeSpring will promptly provide the person who provided the Notification of Claimed Infringement with a copy of your Counter Notification and inform that person that CollegeSpring will replace the removed User Content or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days, and CollegeSpring will replace the removed User Content and cease disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of the Counter Notification, unless CollegeSpring’s Designated Agent receives notice from the party that submitted the Notification of Claimed Infringement that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on CollegeSpring’s system or network.

10.7 False Notifications of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notifications. The Copyright Act provides at 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) that: “[a]ny person who knowingly materially misrepresents under Section 512 of the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) (1) that material or activity is infringing, or (2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, will be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of CollegeSpring relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.” CollegeSpring reserves the right to seek damages from any party that submits a Notification of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notification in violation of the law.

11. Modification of Terms. We may, from time to time, change these Terms. Please check these Terms periodically for changes. Revisions will be effective immediately except that, for existing users, material revisions will be effective 30 days after posting or notice to you of the revisions unless otherwise stated. We may require that you accept modified Terms in order to continue to use the Service. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, then you should discontinue your use of the Service. Except as expressly permitted in this Section 11 (Modification of Terms), these Terms may be amended only by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of the parties to these Terms.

12. Term, Termination, and Modification of the Service

12.1 Term. These Terms are effective beginning when you accept the Terms or first download, install, access, or use the Service, and ending when terminated as described in Section 12.2 (Termination).

12.2 Termination. If you violate any provision of these Terms, then your authorization to access the Service and these Terms automatically terminate. In addition, CollegeSpring may, in its sole discretion, terminate these Terms or your account on the Service, or suspend or terminate your access to the Service, at any time for any reason or no reason, (including if CollegeSpring is notified that a Student has dropped a course or been removed from a classroom), with or without notice, and without any liability to you arising from such termination. You may terminate your account and these Terms at any time by contacting customer service at support@collegespring.org.

12.3 Effect of Termination. Upon termination of these Terms: (a) your license rights will terminate and you must immediately cease all use of the Service; (b) you will no longer be authorized to access your account or the Service; and (c) Sections 4.3 (Feedback), 5 (Ownership; Proprietary Rights), 7 (User Content), 12.3 (Effect of Termination), 13 (Indemnity), 14 (Disclaimers; No Warranties by CollegeSpring), 15 (Limitation of Liability), 16 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration), and 17 (Miscellaneous) will survive. You are solely responsible for retaining copies of any User Content you Post to the Service since upon termination of your account, you may lose access rights to any User Content you Posted to the Service. If your account has been terminated for a breach of these Terms, then you are prohibited from requesting a new account on the Service using a different name, email address or other forms of account verification.

12.4 Modification of the Service. CollegeSpring reserves the right to modify or discontinue all or any portion of the Service at any time (including by limiting or discontinuing certain features of the Service), temporarily or permanently, without notice to you. CollegeSpring will have no liability for any change to the Service, including any paid-for functionalities of the Service, or any suspension or termination of your access to or use of the Service. You should retain copies of any User Content you Post to the Service so that you have permanent copies in the event the Service is modified in such a way that you lose access to User Content you Posted to the Service.

13. Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you are responsible for your use of the Service, and you will defend and indemnify CollegeSpring, its affiliates and their respective shareholders, directors, managers, members, officers, employees, consultants, and agents (together, the “CollegeSpring Entities”) from and against every claim brought by a third party, and any related liability, damage, loss, and expense, including attorneys’ fees and costs, arising out of or connected with: (1) your unauthorized use of, or misuse of, the Service; (2) your violation of any portion of these Terms, any representation, warranty, or agreement referenced in these Terms, or any applicable law or regulation; (3) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property right or publicity, confidentiality, other property, or privacy right; or (4) any dispute or issue between you and any third party. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you (without limiting your indemnification obligations with respect to that matter), and in that case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of those claims.

14. Disclaimers; No Warranties by CollegeSpring

14.1 THE SERVICE AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND ON AN “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. COLLEGESPRING DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RELATING TO THE SERVICE AND ALL MATERIALS AND CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE, INCLUDING: (A) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT; AND (B) ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE. COLLEGESPRING DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE, OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT OFFERED THROUGH THE SERVICE, WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS, VIRUSES, OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, AND COLLEGESPRING DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY OF THOSE ISSUES WILL BE CORRECTED.

14.2 NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM THE SERVICE OR COLLEGESPRING ENTITIES OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING ANY OF THE COLLEGESPRING ENTITIES OR THE SERVICE THAT IS NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE SERVICE AND YOUR DEALING WITH ANY OTHER SERVICE USER. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU USE ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY (INCLUDING YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR MOBILE DEVICE USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE) OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, INCLUDING USER CONTENT.

14.3 THE LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS SECTION 14 (Disclaimers; No Warranties by COLLEGESPRING) APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. COLLEGESPRING DOES NOT DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY OR OTHER RIGHT THAT COLLEGESPRING IS PROHIBITED FROM DISCLAIMING UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

15. Limitation of Liability

15.1 TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE COLLEGESPRING ENTITIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR ANY OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SERVICE OR ANY MATERIALS OR CONTENT ON THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANY COLLEGESPRING ENTITY HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGE.

15.2 EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 16.5 (Commencing Arbitration) AND 16.7 (ARBITRATION RELIEF) AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE COLLEGESPRING ENTITIES TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR ANY INABILITY TO USE ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE OR OTHERWISE UNDER THESE TERMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF: (a) THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO COLLEGESPRING FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM AND (b) US$100.

15.3 EACH PROVISION OF THESE TERMS THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THESE TERMS. THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 15 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

16. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

16.1 Generally. Except as described in Section 16.2 (Exceptions) and 16.3 (Opt-Out), you and CollegeSpring agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms, the Service, or communications from us will be resolved through binding arbitration. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, is less formal than a court proceeding, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. Any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement will be resolved by the arbitrator.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND COLLEGESPRING ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

16.2 Exceptions. Although we are agreeing to arbitrate most disputes between us, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.

16.3 Opt-Out. If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 16 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to CollegeSpring, Inc., Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, 1990 N California Blvd, Suite 20, Walnut Creek, CA 94596 that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once CollegeSpring receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section 16 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 17.2 (Governing Law). The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.

16.4 Arbitrator. This arbitration agreement, and any arbitration between us, is subject the Federal Arbitration Act and will be administered by the JAMS under the rules applicable to consumer disputes (collectively, “JAMS Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The JAMS Rules and filing forms are available online at www.jamsadr.com, by calling the JAMS at +1-800-352-5267 or by contacting CollegeSpring.

16.5 Commencing Arbitration. Before initiating arbitration, a party must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). CollegeSpring’s address for Notice is: CollegeSpring, Inc., 1990 N California Blvd, Suite 20, Walnut Creek, CA 94596. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) identify the name or account number of the party making the claim; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or CollegeSpring may commence an arbitration proceeding. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, CollegeSpring will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000 or if CollegeSpring has received 25 or more similar demands for arbitration, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the JAMS Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules and the other party may seek reimbursement for any fees paid to JAMS.

16.6 Arbitration Proceedings. Any arbitration hearing will take place in the county and state of your billing address unless we agree otherwise or, if the claim is for US$10,000 or less (and does not seek injunctive relief), you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a telephonic or video hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the JAMS Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or CollegeSpring must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based.

16.7 Arbitration Relief. Except as provided in Section 16.8 (No Class Actions), the arbitrator can award any relief that would be available if the claims had been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by CollegeSpring before an arbitrator was selected, CollegeSpring will pay to you the higher of: (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator and (b) US$10,000. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties, except (1) for judicial review expressly permitted by law or (2) if the arbitrator’s award includes an award of injunctive relief against a party, in which case that party shall have the right to seek judicial review of the injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction that shall not be bound by the arbitrator’s application or conclusions of law. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

16.8 No Class Actions. YOU AND COLLEGESPRING AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and CollegeSpring agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

16.9 Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If CollegeSpring makes any substantive change to this arbitration provision, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to CollegeSpring’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with CollegeSpring will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.

16.10 Enforceability. If Section 16.8 (No Class Actions) or the entirety of this Section 16 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) is found to be unenforceable, or if CollegeSpring receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 16 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 17.2 (Governing Law) will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.

We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy, and to use the information it contains to help make informed decisions.

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires that online service providers obtain parental consent before they collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 13. Therefore, we only collect personal information through Buzz from a child under 13 where that student’s school, district, and/or teacher has agreed (via the terms described in the following paragraph) to obtain parental consent for that child to use Buzz and disclose personal information to us, for the use and benefit of the learning environment. If you are a student under 13, please do not send any personal information about yourself to us if your school, district, and/or teacher has not obtained this prior consent from your parent or guardian, and please do not send any personal information other than what we request from you in connection with Buzz. If we learn we have collected personal information from a student under 13 without parental consent being obtained by his or her school, district, and/or teacher, or if we learn a student under 13 has provided us personal information beyond what we request from him or her, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a student under 13 may have provided us personal information in violation of this paragraph, please contact us at support@agilix.com.

If you are a school, district, or teacher, you represent and warrant that you are solely responsible for complying with COPPA, meaning that you must obtain advance written consent from all parents or guardians whose children under 13 will be accessing Buzz. When obtaining consent, you must provide parents and guardians with our Privacy Policy. You must keep all consents on file and provide them to us if we request them. You can find more information on COPPA at http://www.business.ftc.gov/documents/Complying-with-COPPA-Frequently-Asked-Questions. If you are a teacher, you represent and warrant that you have permission and authorization from your school and/or district to use Buzz as part of your curriculum, and for purposes of COPPA compliance, you represent and warrant that you are entering into these Terms on behalf of your school and/or district.

When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer.  However, You understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others).
