You are also responsible for charges for any products or Services you order that are offered for sale through our Services. If we do not receive payment via your payment mechanism, you agree to pay all amounts due hereunder upon our demand, and will be solely responsible for any dispute with your payment provider. If the payment method provided is initially declined for any reason, we reserve the right to charge the payment method (credit card or other accepted mechanism) in installments, at the non-promotional/non-discounted rate that is in place at the time, for the full duration of the subscription that you have selected.

Subscriptions purchased inside our Plural Education apps are managed directly by the applicable App Store.

Plural Education does not provide full or partial refunds for prepaid intervals, whatever their duration.

The Services (including without limitation any content, games, titles, computer code, themes, objects, characters, character names, stories, dialogue, catch phrases, concepts, artwork, animations, sounds, musical compositions, audio-visual effects, methods of operation, and moral rights) are copyrighted works owned by Plural Education, unless expressly indicated otherwise. Plural Education reserves all rights, including without limitation, all intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights, in connection with the Services.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT NOTHING IN THESE TERMS OF USE SHALL HAVE THE EFFECT OF TRANSFERRING THE OWNERSHIP OF ANY COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS, SLOGANS, SERVICE MARKS, TRADE NAMES, TRADE DRESS OR OTHER PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OR CONTENT OR ANY PART THEREOF TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY. You undertake not to do any act or thing which is inconsistent with or which is likely in any way to prejudice such title.

1.14.3. THIRD PARTY HYPERLINKS AND THIRD PARTY CONTENT

The Services will often have hyperlinks to third party sites and may display content and other information from third party sites (“Third Party Content”). Plural Education does not verify, endorse, or take responsibility for the accuracy, currency, completeness or quality of Third Party Content. Furthermore, Plural Education is not responsible for the quality or delivery of the products or services offered, accessed, obtained by or advertised at such sites. As such, neither Plural Education nor its subsidiaries and affiliates will be responsible for any errors or omissions or for the results obtained from the use of such information contained in Third Party Content.

The appearance of external hyperlinks and/or postcards generated by third parties does not constitute endorsement by Plural Education, its subsidiaries and affiliates of the opinions or views expressed by these third party websites.

Finally, Plural Education will under no circumstances be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or special loss or other damage, whether arising from negligence, breach of contract, defamation, infringement of copyright or other intellectual property rights, caused by the exhibition, distribution or exploitation of any information or content contained within these third party hyperlinked sites.

1.15. Verification and Safety

We believe your and your child’s safety on digital media are important. While there is no absolute method of ensuring a completely safe environment, we take seriously our mandate to secure “verifiable parental consent” as required under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”). We are always looking into new and better ways to verify your consent so that we are not collecting or potentially disclosing information from your child that you did not authorize. We require that you review the Terms of Use of our Privacy Policy and encourage you to raise any questions with us.

1.15.1. CREDIT CARD VERIFICATION

If you choose credit card verification, you must use a credit card that matches the name you used to sign in. Your credit card number will not be stored after verification is completed; only a record of the verification will be stored for audit purposes.

1.16. Local Laws

You are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, including without limitation export and import regulations.

2. USER CONTENT

Information, data, software, sound, photographs, graphics, video, tags, or other materials may be sent, uploaded, communicated, transmitted or otherwise made available via our Services by you or another user (“User Content”). You understand and agree that all User Content that you may be sent when using our Services, whether publicly posted or privately sent, is the sole responsibility of the person that sent the Content. This means that you, not us, are entirely responsible for all User Content that you may upload, communicate, transmit or otherwise make available via our Services.

If you post, publish, transmit, or upload User Content on the Services, you agree that it will be:

accurate;
not confidential;

Your User Content will be processed by Plural Education in accordance with our Privacy Policy. You are solely responsible for securing and backing up your content.

Any User Content that you post, publish, or transmit will be considered non-proprietary and non-confidential. You retain all of your ownership rights in your User Content, but you give Plural Education a perpetual and irrevocable (other than as provided below or in our Privacy Policy), worldwide, royalty free, non-exclusive, license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform your User Content and any modified and derivative works thereof in connection with the Services, including in marketing and promotions. To the extent allowed by applicable laws, you waive any moral rights you may have in any User Content (like the right to be identified as the author of the User Content or the right to object to a certain use of that User Content).

We have the right to remove any of your User Content if, in our opinion, it does not comply with these Terms, our Community Rules, or any applicable Feature Terms. We also have the right to disclose your identity to any third party who is claiming that any of your User Content constitutes a breach of their intellectual property rights or their right to privacy. We will also disclose your User Content to other third parties or government bodies where we are legally required to do so.

Plural Education’s license to your User Content ends when you request deletion of your Account by submitting a request as described in ourPrivacy Policy, with the following exceptions:

User Content submitted in response to Plural Education promotions, which will be subject to any Feature Terms or other terms of the promotion;
User Content either shared with others, which they have not deleted or already used publicly as allowed under these Terms; and
User Content subject to a separate license with Plural Education, which will be subject to the terms of such license.

If you request deletion of your User Content we will take reasonable steps to remove your User Content from active use, which may include suppression of your User Content in our systems. However, User Content may persist in our systems, including in back-up copies. We may also retain copies of User Content if we reasonably believe it is legally required.

When you post, publish, or transmit your observations and comments on the Services, such as in forums, blogs, and chat features, we cannot guarantee that other users will not use the ideas and information that you share. If you have an idea or information that you would like to keep confidential and/or don’t want others to use, don’t post it. PLURAL EDUCATION IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OTHER PERSON’S USE OR APPROPRIATION OF ANY CONTENT OR INFORMATION YOU POST, PUBLISH, OR TRANSMIT IN ANY FORUMS, BLOGS, OR CHAT ROOMS.
