Time4Learning Message to Parents (updated
May 27, 2008)
You have trusted us to make a safe quality educational
experience for your children. This trust is important to us. We appreciate
any feedback you have on where you feel that we have not lived up to
your expectations. At Time4Learning,
we aim to achieve the highest levels of quality and integrity.
We
respect your privacy and will ensure that any personal information you submit
to us will remain private and secure: we will not sell, license, or provide this
information to third parties. Time4Learning is dedicated to the fundamentals of protecting
children's privacy on the Internet. We've developed our privacy practices from
guidelines established by the Children's Advertising Review Unit (CARU) and in
compliance with the requirements established by the Children's Online Privacy
Protection Act (COPPA).
Time4Learning
does not solicit personal information directly from children.
Any information sent to us is given by parents or guardians
and serves the purposes we outline below. Children under the age of 13 must be
signed up by their parents or guardian and these parents or guardian must
provide the identifying information to us.
To help you understand the steps we take to ensure a safe and rewarding
online experience for your child, we have summarized our information
practices below. We explain what data we collect, why we collect it,
and how we identify you and your children when you come to our service.
Our commitments:
-
We do not share your personal data
with any outside group.
-
We will test our system on a daily basis
to do our best to ensure that the system works the way it should and to make sure your
children get a quality safe experience.
-
Children using the Time4Learning.com
service (which requires a login), have been pre-approved through accounts set
up by their parents. We do not ask children for personal identifying
information.
-
Your child’s progress on the educational
activities is monitored and assessed to help us guide them on their learning
path. A summary of this information is provided to the parent or guardian as
part of the Report and their data is used, in an anonymous form, to build our
statistical database.
-
We will strive to regularly improve the
service to provide the best and most appropriate education for your children,
to add more enrichment and fun, to provide more useful information to the
parents, and to create a more effective system.
Your feedback for guidance is important to us here.
-
If your children (or you) submit stories,
artwork, or comments to us which gets posted on our site, the children will be
identified only by first name, age, city and state.
-
We provide access to a limited number of
third party web sites. We screen these sites regularly seeking to ensure their
appropriateness.
-
We will communicate with you only in
support of our mission, not to market unrelated products.
-
If you send us an e-mail with a question
or comment, we will write back using your e-mail address.
As you or your children use the Time4Learning service, several cookies* will be
set on your computer. Time4Learning uses
the information from cookies to simplify logins and to improve our visitors'
experiences on the site. No personal information is collected about your
activities other than those regarding Time4Learning. Again, Time4learning
does not sell information collected by cookies. We do not use any information
from other cookies on your system for commerce-related or any other purposes.
Below are four important legal documents setting forth the Terms of
Service . Please read them. They cover the
Parental Consent and End User License Agreement
including our
Billing Policy, a formal
Privacy Statement, and
Trademarks & Copyrights.

this EULA.
The checking of the "Yes" button at registration means you
accept the terms of the EULA.
This EULA is a legal agreement between you (the "User" or
"Licensee" on behalf of yourself and the minors to whom you grant usage
privileges) and Time4Learning (the "Company") for the Time4Learning service,
which may include associated media, computer software, printed materials and
documentation. By subscribing to the service, you agree to be bound by the
terms of this EULA for both the service and software.
If you do not agree to the terms of this EULA, you may not subscribe or
use the Software. By checking the "I Agree" box, you are consenting to (a)
Time4Learning’s use of the registration information to set-up your children’s

End User License Agreement
1. Grant of Limited License.
Company grants to you, the Licensee and your listed users, a personal,
non-exclusive, and nontransferable license to use the service, on a single
computer at a time.
2. Copyright, Ownership, & Restrictions of Use.
The software and service and copyrights and trademarks are wholly owned
by the Company and its vendors and the third party web sites and is protected
by
United
States
copyright laws and by international treaty provisions. A
Licensee may not copy the Software or Documentation. The subscription allows
the Licensee to the use of the service for the number of users subscribed while
they are paying for its use: there is no transfer of ownership or copyright.
Licensee agrees that this License grant does not include the rights of
modification, manufacture, distribution, sale, or sublicense.
3. Software Operation, Limited Warranty and Limited Remedy.
The Time4Learning Service is provided on an “as-is” basis. The Company makes
significant efforts to ensure that it is fit for the designed purpose but
cannot be responsible for children’s efforts to bypass the software to either
access software or web sites that are not selected by Time4Learning, to leave
the Time4Learning service to use or misuse software on the computer, or that
the selected web sites will necessarily always be fit and appropriate for all
children. Furthermore, there might
be links from the selected sites to other sites. As much as is reasonably
possible, these links are vetted regularly to allow users to travel only to
safe appropriate sites but it is likely that at times there might be link
chains to sites that are not desirable for the target audience.
Time4Learning seeks to regularly check and remove any such links but can
make no legal guarantees that links or pop-ups will be 100% appropriate. The
Company warrants to each Licensee that the Service will substantially conform
to the Documentation, provided the Software is used with compatible computer
hardware and operating systems. The
sole remedy under this Limited Warranty will be to terminate the subscription.
In no event shall Time4Learning be liable for any
consequential, indirect, special, incidental, or punitive damages arising out
of the use or inability to use this subscription. In no event shall
Time4Learning’s aggregate liability exceed the fees paid by the Licensee to
Time4Learning. The Subscription is a tool to assist your child for education
and entertainment purposes. Because
every child learns differently, Time4Learning cannot guarantee particular
results from your child's use of the Subscription.
5. Modification of Terms of Use. This Agreement (and any
agreement, rule, or policy relating to the Time4Learning Software or l
Services) may be modified by the Company at any time by publication through the
Time4Learning website or by sending each User an email. You are responsible for
regularly reviewing the Time4Learning website to obtain timely notice of such
modifications. You shall be deemed to have accepted such modifications by
continuing to use the site after 15 days of when such modifications have been
posted or you have been alerted by email. In the event that you object to any
material changes to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, your sole and
exclusive remedy will be to terminate this Agreement and to cease using the
Service. Upon request, remaining subscriptions costs will, if cancelled due to
a change of the EULA and terms of service, not be billed.
6. Jurisdiction, Venue and Interpretation.
This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of
Florida
. Each party consents to personal jurisdiction and venue in Broward
County Court. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods is specifically disclaimed. If a court rules as invalid any
provision of this Agreement or the application of any provision to any person
or circumstance, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.
7. Entire Agreement & Term.
This EULA and the Billing Policies form the entire agreement between
Licensee and Company. The
subscription period defines the term of this agreement unless it is either
terminated or modified by the Company, at its sole discretion, or until the
Subscription Period terminates.
Upon termination of this Agreement, Licensee agrees to cease use of the
Subscription.
