You may not post, transmit, or share Content on the Service that you did not create or that you do not have permission to post.
  • While Educadium maintains copies of your Content as part of operating the Service, you should not rely on Educadium for storing your Content, including courses, postings, messages, or teaching materials. You are responsible for keeping copies using your own facilities and are encouraged to backup your Content. Educadium is not responsible if you fail to maintain copies of any Content.

Additional Restrictions

However, users will typically be able to connect to Educadium LMS sites via VPNs assuming that VPN's security profile and provided IP is validated by our and AWS security protocols. In some circumstances, it may be necessary for users to provide a specific/dedicated IP for VPN access. Large-scale VPN access may result in additional service fees. Users who experience 403 access errors due to VPN usage should disable their VPN before submitting support inquiries
  • External/Third-party security software: use of external browser/parental control software tools may cause access issues to the Educadium LMS, depending on the third-party software and settings. It is the responsibility of any users who deploy such software to confirm with their service provider what settings are necessary for normal website access. We do not provide technical support on external/third-party software. Some browser 'security' addon tools present major security vulnerabilities for users and our internal security protocols may prevent use of some such services.

Removal of Content

Educadium does not pre-screen Content. Educadium has the right (but not the obligation) in its sole discretion to refuse or remove any Content from the Service. If warranted, Educadium will attempt to remove objectionable Content from the Service, and Educadium’s policy is to remove infringing Content. However, Educadium does NOT warrant that the Service will not contain any of the above examples of Content or use. You use the Service at your own risk.

Intellectual Property

Educadium claims no intellectual property rights in the material you provide to the Service or to Educadium, including but not limited to postings, documents, assessments, multimedia, learning content, and promotional materials (“Content”). All other Service contents, and any materials delivered by Educadium, are the property of Educadium or its licensors. The EDUCADIUM and Educadium name and logo are service marks of Educadium. Other trademarks appearing on the Service are the property of their respective owners. You will not obscure or remove any proprietary rights notices of Educadium or its licensors contained in the Service.

Verbal, physical, written or other abuse (including threats of abuse or retribution) with respect to any Educadium customer, employee, member, director, officer or vendor will result in immediate account termination.

If your account is terminated, it will be deactivated or deleted, or your access will be disabled, and your Content will be deleted from the Service. Educadium's stated policy is to delete any Educadium installation and associated Content for which there are no registered users or for which there has been no user activity for more than one year. Educadium may modify or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) at any time with or without notice. If you downgrade your Service level, this may cause a loss of Content.

The Campus Owner understands and agrees that any loss or damage of any kind that occurs as a result of End User registration/enrollment by the Campus Owner’s administrators or from any Content, message, or material that the Campus Owner or its End Users upload, post, transmit, display or otherwise make available through the Service is solely the Campus Owner’s responsibility. The Campus Owner will be responsible for any and all breaches of this Agreement by any End User.

Educadium Trademarks and Copyright

The Campus Owner and its End Users will not use the Educadium name, trademarks or copyrighted materials on the Educadium site or elsewhere without Educadium's prior approval.

Educadium Site Policies

The Campus Owner will post, or permit Educadium to post, Educadium site policies including but not limited to general terms of use, copyright policies and privacy policies. In any event, the Campus Owner will ensure that its Educadium site includes conspicuous statements (whether posted by the Campus Owner or by Educadium) that are substantively identical to these Term of Use and to the Educadium Privacy Policy with respect to the following:

  • Use and disclosure of personally identifiable information
  • Protection of minors

Without limiting the foregoing:

  • The Campus Owner will post a legally compliant privacy policy statement on its Educadium site.

The Campus Owner will abide by those laws and regulations. The Campus Owner further represents that any software provided by The Campus Owner and used as part of the Service contains no encryption or, to the extent that it contains encryption, such software is approved for export without a license.

Indemnification

The Campus Owner will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Educadium and its subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, agents, contractors, partners, and employees from and against any claim arising from, or in any way related to, use by the Campus Owner or its End Users of the Service (including but not limited to Educadium.com, EducadiumLearn.com, Educadium, Professional Services, and CampusPay) or any other Educadium service, including any liability or expense arising from all claims, losses, damages (actual and consequential), suits, judgments, litigation costs and attorneys’ fees, of every kind and nature. The foregoing indemnification obligation will not apply to the extent that the claim is based on an allegation that Educadium software infringes an intellectual property right.

Term and Termination

The Campus Owner’s account will commence when the Campus Owner agrees to these Terms by clicking the “I Accept” button, and will continue for the period specified in the Campus Owner’s registration unless earlier terminated. Termination does not entitle Campus Owner to any refund or reduction of fees already paid by or due from Campus Owner. If the Campus Owner requests a pro-rata refund as a remedy hereunder, then such request will be an election of remedies and the sole remedy available to the Campus Owner with respect to any dispute with Educadium. If the Campus Owner’s account terminates for any reason, all Services to all End Users will terminate as well.

III. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

The Campus Owner agrees that all of these Terms of Use (including those above) apply to any and all consulting services, training, add-ons, courseware and related products that the Campus Owner purchases from Educadium. The consulting services to be delivered, and their pricing, will be described on a price sheet or other Educadium Professional Services sales document delivered to the Campus Owner (“Service Description”). In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any Service Description, these Terms will control. All consulting service orders are subject to acceptance by Educadium.

Limited Warranty

Educadium warrants that any custom/professional services, including installation and support for Educadium Add-Ons, (“Professional Services”), when used for their intended use for education and training in accordance with these Terms of Use, will conform to the specifications and standards set forth in the written custom proposal or Educadium website (the “Specifications”) at the time of signature or purchase.

After Educadium sends written notice of project completion to the Campus Owner, the Campus Owner shall have 30 days (“Acceptance Period”) to confirm whether the Professional Services were performed substantially in accordance with the Specifications.  If the Campus Owner determines that the Services were not performed substantially in accordance with the Specifications, including a perceived bug or software conflict with the custom/professional services, the Campus Owner must notify Educadium of the specific discrepancies. Unless the Campus Owner of record notifies Educadium in writing of specific discrepancies during the Acceptance Period, the Services shall be deemed to be accepted.

After written notification of specific discrepancies by the Campus Owner, the Campus Owner and Educadium agree to work together for up to 60 days (“Cure Period”) to resolve the identified discrepancies. If the discrepancies are not resolved within the 30–day period, the Campus Owner may remove the custom/professional services and receive a 50% refund of fees paid to Educadium as set forth in the written custom proposal or on the Educadium website.

Without limitation, if Educadium determines in its sole discretion that that the Services were changed or compromised due to irreversible or nonstandard changes or software additions carried out by the Campus Owner or representatives of the Campus Owner, or if the Campus Owner cancels the Campus subscription for any reason before the end of the 60-day Cure Period, or if there is a violation of Educadium's Terms of Use, Educadium shall not be bound by this limited warranty.

IV. MISCELLANEOUS

Limitation Period

Neither Educadium nor the Campus Owner nor its End Users may institute any action in any form arising from the Service or this Agreement more than two (2) years after the cause of action has arisen.

The Terms supersede all prior communications, representations, understandings, negotiations and discussions, written or oral, between you and Educadium regarding the subject of the Terms.
