Scope. Edhesive LLC (“Edhesive”) and Customer wish to enter into the agreement created by the price quote, proposal, order form or renewal letter associated with this purchase (the “Quote”) and these Customer Terms & Conditions, including any addendums hereto (this “Agreement”) pursuant to which Edhesive will deliver one or more of the following products or services, as specified on the Quote: assessment software and content, digital and print curriculum and instructional materials, hardware devices, and professional development materials and services (collectively, the “Products”).
License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Edhesive grants to Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable license to access and use, and permit Authorized Users to access and use the Products during the Term for the number of Authorized Users specified in the Quote for whom Customer has paid the applicable fees to Edhesive. “Authorized User” means an individual teacher or other personnel employed by Customer, or an individual student registered for instruction at Customer’s school, whom Customer permits to access and use the Products subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and solely while such individual is so employed or so registered. Each Authorized User’s access and use of the Products shall be subject to Edhesive’s standard Terms of Use, in addition to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and violations of such terms may result in suspension or termination of the applicable account.
Restrictions. Customer shall access and use the Products solely for non-commercial instructional and administrative purposes of Customer’s school. Further, Customer shall not, except as expressly authorized or directed by Edhesive: (a) copy, modify, translate, distribute, disclose or create derivative works based on the contents of, or sell, the Products, or any part thereof; (b) decompile, disassemble or otherwise reverse engineer the Products or otherwise use the Products to develop functionally similar products or services; (c) modify, alter or delete any of the copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices in or on the Products; (d) rent, lease or lend the Products or use the Products for the benefit of any third party; (e) avoid, circumvent or disable any security or digital rights management device, procedure, protocol or mechanism in the Products; or (f) permit any Authorized User or third party to do any of the foregoing. Customer also agrees that any works created in violation of this section are derivative works, and, as such, Customer agrees to assign, and hereby assigns, all right, title and interest therein to Edhesive. The Products and derivatives thereof may be subject to export laws and regulations of the U.S. and other jurisdictions. Further, Customer will not permit Authorized Users to access or use any Product in a U.S.-embargoed country or otherwise in violation of any U.S. export law or regulation. The software and associated documentation portions of the Products are “commercial items” (as defined at 48 CFR 2.101), comprising “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation,” as those terms are used in 48 CFR 12.212. Accordingly, if Customer is the U.S. Government or its contractor, Customer will receive only those rights set forth in this Agreement in accordance with 48 CFR 227.7201-227.7204 (for Department of Defense and their contractors) or 48 CFR 12.212 (for other U.S. Government licensees and their contractors).
Reservation of Rights. SUBSCRIPTION PRODUCTS ARE LICENSED, NOT SOLD. Subject to the limited rights expressly granted hereunder, all rights, title and interest in and to all Products, including all related IP Rights, are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Edhesive or its third-party licensors. “IP Rights” means, collectively, rights under patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, and any other intellectual property or proprietary rights recognized in any country or jurisdiction worldwide. Customer shall notify Edhesive of any violation of Edhesive’s IP Rights in the Products, and shall reasonably assist Edhesive as necessary to remedy any such violation.
Payments. In consideration of the Products, Customer will pay to Edhesive the fees specified in the Quote in full within 30 days of the date of invoice, except as otherwise agreed by the parties or for those amounts that are subject to a good faith dispute of which Customer has notified Edhesive in writing. Customer shall be responsible for all state or local sales, use or gross receipts taxes, and federal excise taxes.
Account Information. For subscription Products, the authentication of Authorized Users is based in part upon information supplied by Customer or Authorized Users, as applicable. Customer will and will cause its Authorized Users to (a) provide accurate information to Edhesive or a third-party authentication service as applicable, and promptly report any changes to such information, (b) not share or allow others to use their account, (c) maintain the confidentiality and security of their account information, and (d) use the Products solely via such authorized accounts. Customer agrees to notify Edhesive immediately of any unauthorized use of its or its Authorized Users’ accounts or related authentication information. Edhesive will not be responsible for any losses arising out of the unauthorized use of accounts created by or for Customer and its Authorized Users.
Confidentiality. Customer acknowledges that, in connection with this Agreement, Edhesive has provided or will provide to Customer and its Authorized Users certain sensitive or proprietary information, including software, source code, assessment instruments, research, designs, methods, processes, customer lists, training materials, product documentation, know-how and trade secrets, in whatever form (“Confidential Information”). Customer agrees (a) not to use Confidential Information for any purpose other than use of the Products in accordance with this Agreement and (b) to take all steps reasonably necessary to maintain and protect the Confidential Information of Edhesive in strict confidence. Confidential Information shall not include information that, as evidenced by Customer’s contemporaneous written records: (i) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of Customer; (ii) is rightfully known to Customer prior to the time of its disclosure; (iii) has been independently developed by Customer without any use of the Confidential Information; or (iv) is subsequently learned from a third party not under any confidentiality obligation.
Student Data. The parties acknowledge and agree that Customer is subject to federal and local laws relating to the protection of personally identifiable information of students (“PII”), including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”), and that Edhesive is obtaining such PII as a “school official” under Section 99.31 of FERPA for the purpose of providing the Products hereunder. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Edhesive will not take any action to cause Customer to be out of compliance with FERPA or other applicable laws relating to PII.
Customer Materials. Customer represents, warrants and covenants that it has all the necessary rights, including consents and IP Rights, in connection with any data, information, content and other materials provided to or collected by Edhesive on behalf of Customer or its Authorized Users using the Products or otherwise in connection with this Agreement (“Customer Materials”), and that Edhesive has the right to use such Customer Materials as contemplated hereunder or for any other purposes required by Customer. Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy, integrity, completeness, quality, legality and safety of such Customer Materials.
Warranty Disclaimer. PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND BY EDHESIVE. EDHESIVE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY AS TO TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE.

THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT CREATE ANY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND ANY PROVIDER OF THIRD PARTY CONTENT AND SOFTWARE, AND NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY BY EDHESIVE WITH RESPECT TO ANY THIRD PARTY CONTENT OR SOFTWARE.
Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL EDHESIVE BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER OR TO ANY AUTHORIZED USER FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, RELIANCE OR COVER DAMAGES, DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA OR LOST BUSINESS, OR ANY OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES, EVEN IF EDHESIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EDHESIVE’S ENTIRE LIABILITY TO CUSTOMER OR ANY AUTHORIZED USER ARISING OUT OF PERFORMANCE OR NONPERFORMANCE BY EDHESIVE OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CLAIM FOR SUCH DAMAGES IS BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AGGREGATE OF CUSTOMER’S OR ANY AUTHORIZED USER’S DIRECT DAMAGES UP TO THE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER TO EDHESIVE FOR THE AFFECTED PORTION OF THE PRODUCTS IN THE PRIOR 12 MONTH-PERIOD. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL EDHESIVE BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENCES OF ANY UNAUTHORIZED USE OF THE PRODUCTS THAT VIOLATES THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION.
Term; Termination. This Agreement will be in effect for the duration specified in the Quote and may be renewed or extended by mutual agreement of the parties. Without prejudice to any rights either party may have under this Agreement, in law, equity or otherwise, a party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if the other party (or in the case of Edhesive, an Authorized User) materially breaches any term, provision, warranty or representation under this Agreement and fails to correct the breach within 30 days of its receipt of written notice thereof. Upon termination, Customer will: (a) cease using the Products, (b) return, purge or destroy (as directed by Edhesive) all copies of any Products and, if so requested, certify to Edhesive in writing that such surrender or destruction has occurred, (c) pay Edhesive any fees due and owing hereunder, and (d) not be entitled to a refund of any fees previously paid, unless such fees were paid in advance for services not yet rendered at the time of termination. Customer will be responsible the cost of any continued use of Products following such termination. Upon termination, Edhesive will return or destroy any PII of students provided to Edhesive hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall require Edhesive to return or destroy any data that does not include PII, including de-identified information or data that is derived from access to PII but which does not contain PII. Sections 3-13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Miscellaneous. This Agreement, including all addendums, attachments and the Quote, as applicable, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof.
