Terms of Service

Updated: November 1, 2020

The Edutecion website (“Service“) is a hosted service operated by Edutecion (referred to as “Edutecion“). Any use of the Service is subject to the following Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms and Conditions“), as well as to Edutecion’s Privacy Policy, all of which are incorporated by reference into these Terms and Conditions. Your use of the Service will constitute your acceptance of these terms and conditions.

  1. Eligibility: Use of the Service is void where prohibited. The Service is for users of all ages. For children younger than 13, Edutecion offers a limited feature set and does not require Edutecion to obtain parental consent. We designed our system to permit children to use Edutecion without Edutecion collecting personally identifiable information other than persistent identifiers that recognize the Edutecion user as a repeat visitor. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that: (a) all registration information you submit is truthful and accurate; (b) you will maintain the accuracy of such information; and, (c) your use of the Service does not violate any applicable law or regulation.
  2. Your Edutecion Account and Data: If you create an account on the Service, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and data, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account. You must immediately notify Edutecion of any unauthorized uses of your data, your account or any other breaches of security. Edutecion will not be liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions. Edutecion may from time to time set storage limits for your data, or take any other measures Edutecion considers appropriate to manage the Service. Edutecion may also from time to time change its policies on offering commercial content or displaying advertising, and it may do this without notice.
  3. Prohibited Content and Activities, and Responsibility of Contributors: If you create quizzes, comment via the discussion boxes, post material to the Service, post links on the Service, or otherwise make material available by means of the Service (any such material, “Content”), you are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content. That is the case regardless of whether the Content in question constitutes text, graphics, an audio file, computer software or any other format in which Edutecion stores data. You are also entirely responsible for ensuring that you are lawfully entitled to use any information and content. Edutecion does not assume any responsibility for damage caused by your acts, errors, omissions, or negligence with respect to the content you post to Edutecion.

These Terms and Conditions will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.
