By registering as a User, and using our Services and Website to create, deliver, manage, and/or use a collection of learning materials obtained from multiple sources (“Content Bundle”), you accept this Agreement and consent to its terms and conditions electronically.

If you are an entity other than a natural person, the person who registers the account or otherwise uses our Services must have the authority to bind the entity. In this context, “you” means both the entity and each person who is authorized to access the account.

We may update this Agreement by posting a revised version on our Website. By continuing to use our Services, you accept any revised Agreement.

Please review our Privacy Policy to learn about the information we collect from you, how we use it, and with whom we share it.

We grant to you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Study.Net for your own personal and commercial purposes. This license may not be assigned or sublicensed to anyone else, without Study.Net’s express written consent. We reserve all right, title and interest not expressly granted under this license to the fullest extent possible under applicable laws. ANY USE OF OUR SERVICES OR WEBSITE NOT SPECIFICALLY PERMITTED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.

You agree that you will not: (a) use this Website to reproduce copyrighted material; (b) reproduce Study.Net’s Website (legally that’s known as engaging in activity that would reproduce, redistribute, sell, create derivative works from, decompile, reverse engineer, or disassemble the Website); or (c) engage in any activity that would interfere with or damage or harm the Website or Services rendered.

Study.Net is a web-based application that enables Instructors to identify, organize, and digitally deliver learning material from multiple sources to Students for their personal and/or educational use. This learning material may include: a) copyright content from established publishers and authors; b) free public content; and c) material uploaded directly by Instructors and/or their schools or business organizations (collectively called the “Content”). Our Services and Website further facilitate: a) the enhancement (or personalization) of material for an Instructor’s unique requirements, b) the collection and reporting of detailed usage data and c) the collection of royalty fees for, and payment of such fees to, the rightsholders of copyright material.

Study.Net is neither an educational institution nor an original publisher. As such, Study.Net is not responsible for interactions between Instructors and Students. Study.Net is not liable for any disputes, claims, losses, injuries, or damage of any kind that may arise out of the Instructor/Student relationship.

Further, should the Services involve any third party content, you agree that Study.Net is not responsible in any way for such content, and makes no representations or guarantees as to its merchantability or fitness of use. The materials that comprise a Content Bundle are the sole responsibility of the Instructors or their representatives who create that Content Bundle.

All of the Services provided by Study.Net shall be covered by this Agreement. The features available to you that comprise our Services may change from time to time, without notice.

Registration is required to use Study.Net as a User. It ensures that each user will see the resources that address their particular needs. Registered Users must affiliate with a school or business organization. Registration requires a User’s name, a valid email address, password, and their school/organization affiliation.

You agree to provide and maintain all information required by Study.Net for registration and, in the event any information is not true, accurate, or complete, you agree that Study.Net has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all use of our Services.

During registration, all Users must request affiliation with a school or business organization. This affiliation will allow Users to view the Website and use the Services associated with a specific school or organization. Users are allowed to have multiple affiliations.

Study.Net recognizes three (3) types of User, each with different privileges (“Role”):

• Student
• Instructor
• Coordinator

For Users with multiple affiliations, roles are independent. This means that a User affiliated with two schools, for example, could have different roles for each affiliation.

Upon registration, Study.Net users are automatically assigned the role of STUDENT with any affiliation. The Student role allows a User to purchase (or otherwise access) Content Bundles associated with their affiliated school or organization.

During registration, or later, any User may request the role of INSTRUCTOR. The Instructor role is granted to educators who work at a school or organization in a verified, official capacity.

The third Study.Net role of COORDINATOR is assigned to users responsible for the administration and use of Study.Net at a specific school or organization.

As a registered User, you agree not to request a role for which you have no legitimate authority to request. Any fraudulent request many lead to immediate termination of your registration as a User and access to the Website and Services.

You must be at least 18 years old to create a User account and use Study.Net, or warrant that you are the parent or legal guardian of a prospective User who is between the ages of 13 and 18 and you have the legal right and capacity to enter into this Agreement. By registering you agree to accept the terms of this Agreement.

Choice of Law

Any disputes relating to this Agreement or your use of our Services will be governed by the laws of California and the United States of America (with respect to matters subject to federal jurisdiction such as copyright), without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

Choice of Venue for Arbitration

The arbitration will be conducted in Orange County, California, unless you and Study.Net agree otherwise. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Jury Trial Waiver

You and Study.Net agree to waive the right to trial by jury. You further agree that any proceedings to resolve any disputes shall be done solely on an individual basis and that you will not seek to have any dispute heard as a class action, a representative action, a collective action, a private attorney-general action, or in any proceeding in which you act or propose to act in a representative capacity.

Reservation of Rights, Severability

Study.Net reserves all rights not expressly granted herein. Study.Net’s rights and remedies are cumulative.
