These Terms of Service (“Terms of Service”) are entered into by and between you and GoTeacher, Inc. (“Company”, “we” or “us”). The Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the GoTeacher online platform and browser extension (collectively the “Services”).

Please read the Terms of Service carefully before you start to use the Services. By using the Services or by clicking the box marked “I agree” (or otherwise indicating your agreement to these Terms of Service) you agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Service and acknowledge you have read and understood our Privacy Policy. If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Service, you must not access or use the Services.

You may use the Services only if you can form a binding contract with GoTeacher. If you’ve been removed from the Services previously, you’re not allowed to use them again. If you are accepting these Terms and using the Services on behalf of a company, organization, school, government, or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to do so. If you are a teacher or school administrator creating an account on behalf of your students, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service on behalf of the educational organization you work for, and represent and warrant that you are authorized to do so. You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations.

Changes to the Terms of Service

We may revise and update these Terms of Service from time to time in our sole discretion. We will provide you with reasonable notice of any material updates. All updates are effective immediately when we post them, and apply to all access to and use of the Services thereafter.

Accessing the Services and Account Security

We reserve the right to make changes to the Services in our sole discretion without notice. We will not be liable if for any reason, the Services are unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to or use of the Services to some or all users of the Services, whether registered or unregistered (each, a “User”).

To use the Services, you may be asked to provide certain registration details or other information. It is a condition of your use of the Services that all the information you provide through the Services is accurate, complete and up to date.

If you choose, or are provided with, a username, password or any other piece of information as part of our security procedures, you must treat such information as confidential, and you must not disclose it to any other person or entity. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account. You also acknowledge that your account is personal to you and agree not to provide any other person with access to the Services or portions of it using your username, password or other security information. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your username or password or any other breach of security. You also agree to ensure that you log out of your account at the end of each session.

We have the right to disable any username, password or other identifier, whether chosen by you or provided by us, at any time in our sole discretion for any or no reason, including if, in our opinion, you have violated any provision of these Terms of Service.

You further acknowledge that, by acceptance of your submission, GoTeacher does not waive any rights to use similar or related ideas previously known to GoTeacher, or developed by its employees, or obtained from sources other than you.

The Services may contain message boards, chat rooms, personal web pages or profiles, forums, bulletin boards and other interactive features that allow certain types of Users to share, post, submit, publish, display or transmit (collectively, “Share”) content or materials (collectively, “User Content”) on or through the Services, including information regarding specific assignments such as likes/dislikes, difficulty level, or custom messages.

WE CLAIM NO OWNERSHIP RIGHTS OVER YOUR USER CONTENT. THE USER CONTENT YOU CREATE REMAINS YOURS. All User Content must comply with the Content Standards set out in these Terms of Service.

Any User Content you Share will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. By providing any User Content through the Services, you grant us and our affiliates and service providers, and each of their and our respective licensees, successors and assigns the right to use, reproduce, modify, perform, display, distribute and otherwise disclose to third parties any such material for any purpose.

You represent and warrant that:

  • All of your User Content does and will comply with these Terms of Service.

You understand and acknowledge that you are responsible for any User Content you Share, and you, not GoTeacher, have fully responsibility for such content, including its legality, reliability, accuracy and appropriateness.

We are not responsible, or liable to any third party, for the content or accuracy of any User Content.

Monitoring and Enforcement; Termination

We have the right to:

  • Remove or refuse to display any User Content for any or no reason in our sole discretion.

  • Take any action with respect to any User Content that we deem necessary or appropriate in our sole discretion, including if we believe that such User Content violates the Terms of Service, infringes any intellectual property right or other right of any person or entity, threatens the personal safety of Users or the public or could create liability for GoTeacher.

  • Disclose your identity or other information about you to any third party who claims that your User Content violates their rights, including their intellectual property rights or their right to privacy.

  • Take appropriate legal action, including without limitation, referral to law enforcement, for any illegal or unauthorized use of the Services.

YOU WAIVE AND HOLD HARMLESS GOTEACHER AND ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSEES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS FROM ANY CLAIMS RESULTING FROM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY ANY OF THE FOREGOING PARTIES DURING OR AS A RESULT OF ITS INVESTIGATIONS AND FROM ANY ACTIONS TAKEN AS A CONSEQUENCE OF INVESTIGATIONS BY EITHER SUCH PARTIES OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES.

However, we cannot review all User Content, and cannot ensure prompt removal of objectionable material after it has been Shared. Accordingly, we assume no liability for any action or inaction regarding transmissions, communications or content provided by any user or third party. We have no liability or responsibility to anyone for performance or nonperformance of the activities described in this section.
