Terms of Service

Welcome to MATHia Adventure! These are our Terms of Service. By “Service” we mean everything under the whole MATHia Adventure banner. That includes but is not limited to this website, the MATHia Adventure games (both iOS apps and web games), the teacher’s dashboard and all contents therein, our blog, and the professional development we offer, as well as any new content or features we offer in the future.

A couple of important things you need to know right up front:

You must agree and accept all of the Terms herein in order to have the right to use our Services. We’ve attempted to make them as “human readable” as possible. If you have any feedback or questions on them, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at privacy@carnegielearning.com;
This document is a contract between you and us, CL Zorbit's Inc. If you use our services in any way, that means that you agree to the Terms of this contract, and the Terms will remain in effect throughout your use of our Services. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service, you won’t be able to use the Services;
You’ll see CL Zorbit's Inc. (“CL Zorbit's”) referenced a lot in this document. This is the parent company of MATHia Adventure.

These General Terms of Service apply to individuals in three broad categories:

School districts, and related entities, including anyone who accesses the Services on these organizations’ behalf from an administrative point of view (i.e. not individuals using the Services directly in a classroom or teaching setting);
Schools, teachers and related entities using the Services in a specific classroom or teaching context; and
Home users, such as parents or legal guardians who have signed up for our Services to use on their own outside of an educational institution.

Our product changes a lot. We are a company that attempts to make frequent updates to our Services in response to user input and feedback so that we are constantly improving the experience for you and your learners. This will sometimes result in changes being made to these Terms as well. Changes will always be communicated through one (or more) of these means:

Notification on the Terms of Service web page (www.carnegielearning.ca/terms-of-use);
Notification on our main website (www.carnegielearning.ca);
Notification through email (for major updates).

You are not obligated to accept any updates to the Terms, but if you do reject them, you will no longer be allowed to access the Services. Using any of the Services after new Terms have been communicated means that you accept the updates to the Terms. If you ever have any questions about any of these updates, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us at privacy@carnegielearning.com .

Every administrator, teacher, or parent (“Registrant”) account will always have an associated email address. This email address is your unique User ID used to log into the system. Accounts must be set up by a CL Zorbit's representative. The following information is required to create an account, paid or otherwise: First name, last name, email address, user type (i.e. Administrator, Teacher, or Parent) and school name and district for educator accounts. By agreeing to these Terms, you promise to provide accurate registration information.

When your account is created, you will receive an automated email from our system with an automatically-generated password. It is strongly recommended that you create a new password at this time. Whatever password you use, it is your responsibility to keep your account password secure.

If for any reason you think your account’s security has been compromised, please contact us immediately and we will be happy to help you out. Please note that we are not liable for any losses caused by any unauthorized use of your account.

You may not transfer your account to any other individual without permission from CL Zorbit's. You are responsible for any activity that occurs on your account and any data associated with it.

You represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract. If you’re agreeing to these Terms on behalf of an organization or entity (for example, if you’re an administrator agreeing to these Terms on behalf of your district), you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to these Terms on that organization or entity’s behalf and bind them to these Terms.

When you provide us your email address, you are automatically signed up and consent to receive these three types of emails:

Service-related emails, including Service/product updates, outages, and updates to these Terms of Service or other legal documents. You cannot turn these emails off and consent to receive them by agreeing to the Terms. (Note: frequency of this emails is not likely to exceed 6 per year.)
Success emails, which are emails from our Teacher Success Team that are designed to help you get the most out of your experience with the Service, for example professional development videos or classroom tips. You may opt out of the following emails by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of your email.
Marketing emails, which include announcements about special campaigns or promotions, new blog updates, etc. You may opt out of the following emails by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of your email.

The materials displayed or performed on the Services (including, but not limited to, text, graphics, articles, images, characters, storylines) (the “Content”) are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You promise to abide by all copyright notices, trademark rules, information, and restrictions contained in any Content you access through the Services, and you won’t use, copy, reproduce, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, upload, display, license, sell or otherwise exploit the Content for any purpose.

For example, you might download a PDF for a great centre-based activity from your dashboard. You can’t, say, then take that activity PDF and then put it up on another website and distribute it on your own.

(We do, however, TOTALLY encourage the writing of MATHia Adventure fan fiction!
