SUBSCRIPTION TERMS
Acceptance of Subscription Terms: Teachers' Curriculum Institute's ("TCI") willingness to offer online subscriptions ("Subscriptions") that permit access to its online educational materials and content ("Content") is expressly conditioned on your acceptance of the terms set forth herein. You shall be deemed to have accepted these terms by either: (i) placing an order for the Subscriptions or any other TCI product, (ii) submitting payment for the Subscriptions or any other TCI product, (iii) accessing the Subscription management application by following the website access link emailed to you following your purchase of a Subscription or (iv) distributing the website access link to any teachers or other end users who will use the Subscriptions. These terms supersede all prior understandings, assurances, orders and offers, whether written or oral, and shall exclusively govern the relationship between you and TCI in regard to the Subscriptions. Any amendments or additional terms must be agreed to by TCI in writing. The term "you" as used herein shall include any individuals purchasing or accessing the Subscriptions as well as any schools, school districts, education centers or other entities for whom such individuals may be accessing the Subscriptions on behalf of.
Subscription Delivery: For each Subscription order, you will receive a delivery confirmation email. Designated Subscriber contacts will also receive an invitation email containing a website access link to a Subscription management application where Subscriptions may be managed. The designated Subscriber contact will be the person submitting payment unless you notify TCI of the contact name and email address to whom TCI should send the website access link. You will need to sign and return an account administrator agreement before being granted full access to the Subscription management application.
Online Subscription Terms: TCI defines the school year as July 1 to June 30 ("school year"). The order date of a Subscription is the TCI invoice date. For Subscriptions with an order date before November 1, the duration of the Subscription includes the current school year that commenced on July 1 of the current calendar year. For orders with an order date on or after November 1, the duration of the subscription begins the following school year commencing on July 1 of the subsequent calendar year. Subscriptions can only be assigned to one user at a time; they cannot be shared. Upon expiration of a Subscription, access will be blocked. Subscription assignments reset annually on June 30. TCI only stores student scores and notebook entries for the current school year. Subscribers are responsible for downloading any student scoring and notebook data before June 30 for their records.
Modification of Content: TCI reserves the right to modify the Content at any time during the term of any Subscription for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, updating, correcting or general design modifications.
Disclaimers: THE CONTENT IS PROVIDED AS-IS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. TCI specifically disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement of third party rights. It is your responsibility to evaluate the accuracy and completeness of all information, opinions and other material contained in the Content. TCI does not warrant the Subscriptions will be error-free and uninterrupted. You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for any interruptions resulting from your computer system, software and connection to the internet.
