Our Services.

Our Services offer a platform for Content Providers to connect with Learners. Our Services allow Learners to participate in Challenges created by Content Providers and/or by Cartedo and our Services may, from time to time, allow Learners to participate in Competitions for certain rewards. A Content Provider may permit Learners to communicate with each other using our Services, and our Services may permit Content Providers to collaborate in the creation and maintenance of Challenges and Workspaces.

For Learners

This Section 3(a) applies to Learners only.

Learner Information and Registration. To make use of our Services, you will be required to create an Account and provide certain information, as described in Section 2. As a Learner, we may ask for certain additional information, including your name, email address, city, country, state, school, employer, organization, subject, major, gender and birth date (such additional information to be considered part of Account Information).

Challenges; Workspaces

You may participate in certain Challenges made available to you on our Platform. You hereby acknowledge and agree that Challenges are created by Content Providers and are merely stored and hosted by Cartedo on its platform. We may from time to time assume the role of Content Provider by creating or otherwise providing a Challenge available to you on our Platform, in which event we will provide notice to you on our Platform that such Challenge has been created or otherwise provided by Cartedo (any such challenge, a “Cartedo Challenge”). Under no circumstances shall Cartedo be liable for any claims that arise in connection with the Content of any Challenge that is not a Cartedo Challenge.

As we are not responsible for any Content of any Challenge, we are not responsible for addressing your questions about such Content. If you have a question or concern about any Content of a Challenge, we suggest that you contact the applicable Content Provider at the contact information provided to you on our Platform, which has been made available to us by such Content Provider. However, if you would like to report a concern about any Content, you may contact us at [email protected].

We may from time to time provide you with access to one or more Workspaces. You understand that any Challenges included in a Workspace are selected by the applicable Content Provider, and that we are not liable for any Workspaces or Challenges therein.

Workspaces and Challenges may or may not be publicly available. Whether a Workspace or Challenge is available to you is determined by the applicable Content Provider and not by Cartedo. If a Content Provider has restricted access to a Workspace or Challenge, you may only participate in such Workspace or Challenge, as applicable, to the extent that you have received an invitation or been granted access through our Platform.

If a Workspace or Challenge is publicly available or made available to you by a Content Provider, we may, subject to Section 2(c), provide notice to you of the opportunity to participate in such Workspace or Challenge, as applicable. Any such notice is not an endorsement of such Workspace or Challenge and does not obligate you to participate.

Competitions

We may, from time to time, in our sole discretion, host or create a Competition that includes participation in certain Challenges. You acknowledge that we do not obligate you to participate in any such Competition, and we assume no liability for the Content of any Challenge that may be part of any such Competition.

We do not guarantee that you will be eligible to participate in any Competition. Your eligibility to participate in a Competition will be set forth in the terms of such Competition, to be made available at or about such time as such Competition is announced, and are incorporated herein by reference. The Content Provider that posted a Challenge or authorized such Challenge to be posted on our Platform is solely responsible for establishing the terms of participation in such Challenge.

We may, in our sole discretion, provide to you a performance-based or other reward for your participation in a Competition, which may entitle you to free products or other benefits as determined and communicated by us or the applicable Content Providers(s). If you are under 18 years old or are participating in a Competition through a School, we will not offer you rewards and you may instead receive a grade from your School.

Fees

Pilot. We may from time to time in our sole discretion make certain of our Services available to Learners for free during a trial period (“Pilot”). We do not guarantee that you may participate in any such Pilot and are not obligated to provide any Services to you for free. To the extent that you receive any Services for free during a Pilot, you understand that we may terminate such arrangement at any time and may refuse to continue to provide such Services to you for free, in which event you may continue to use our Services subject to payment by you for such Services in accordance with our then current Fee Schedule.

Fees; Sponsorships

We currently charge a fee for use of our Services as a Learner. Such fees may be payable on an up-front basis to enable the use of certain Challenges and/or Workspaces for a specified duration, or may be payable as a subscription on a monthly or other periodic basis, in each case on the terms of and as set forth in our Fee Schedule.

A Sponsor, such as a professor, school, employer or organization, may in such Sponsor’s sole discretion agree to pay us for your use of our Services (a “Sponsorship” and such services, the “Sponsored Services”) on terms agreed to between us and such Sponsor. You understand that the terms of any Sponsorship may change at any time in the sole discretion of us and the Sponsor. In the event that a Sponsorship is terminated or the scope of the Sponsorship is reduced, you may continue to use the terminated or reduced Sponsored Services as long as you pay for the terminated or reduced Sponsored Services, which shall thereafter no longer be Sponsored Services, in accordance with our then-current Fee Schedule for such Services.

Adjustments to Fees. You understand that we may adjust our Fee Schedule from time to time. If you have an Account, we will provide notice of any such changes unless your fee is paid by a Content Provider, in which case the notice will be provided to the Content Provider. If you continue to use our Services after we provide such notice, you agree to pay the fees described on our Services.

Billing and Payment Policy

We may use a third party payment service to bill you through an online account for fees in lieu of directly processing your credit card information. By submitting your payment account information, you grant us the right to store and process your information with the third party payment service, which may change from time to time; you agree that we will not be responsible for any failures of the third party to adequately protect such information. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of such third party payment service in addition to these Terms. You acknowledge that we may change the third party payment service and move your information to other service providers that encrypt your information using transport layer security (TLS) or other comparable security technology.

Refunds or Credits; Reversals of Purchases

Other than as may be expressly set forth on our Platform as updated from time to time, we have no obligation to provide refunds or credits, but may grant them in certain circumstances, as a result of specific refund guarantee promotions, or to correct errors made by us, in each case, in our sole discretion.
