Thanks for using ScootPad! We're glad you're here, but there are some rules you need to agree to before you use our website and services ("Services"). When we use the word "Services," we mean not only the ScootPad.com website and the mobile version of the website (the "Site"), but also all the other websites, products, services and applications owned, controlled or offered by Learning Explorer and its affiliates. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding these Terms or the Services, please contact us at ScootPad@LearningExplorer.com.
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding contract between you and Learning Explorer, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Learning Explorer", "ScootPad," "we" or "us"). You must agree and accept all of the Terms, or you don't have the right to use the Services. By accessing or using the Services in any way, you represent that you have read, understood and agree to all of these Terms, and these Terms will remain in effect while you use the Services. These Terms include the provisions in this document and in the ScootPad Privacy Policy (collectively, the "Site Policies"), When you visit our website, use our Services or send emails to us, you are communicating with us electronically. You acknowledge that you can access information that is provided electronically, and you consent to receive communications from us electronically. We will communicate with you by email or by posting notices on this website. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. Our Services are constantly changing, to keep up with the dynamic needs of learners everywhere - so, these Terms and the Privacy Policy might need to change, too. If they do change, we will do our best to tell you in advance by placing a notification on the ScootPad.com website, or we might send you an email. In certain situations (for example, where a change to the Terms is necessary to comply with legal requirements), we may not be able to give you advance notice. Unless otherwise provided in such revision, any revision to the Terms and/or the Privacy Policy, or any part thereof, will take effect when they are posted. If you don't like the new Terms, you are free to reject them - unfortunately, that means you won't be able to use the Service anymore. If you use the Service in any way after a change to the Terms is effective, then please remember that means you agree to all of the Terms.
ScootPad takes the privacy of its users very seriously. For the entire current ScootPad Privacy Policy, please click here, but we've included some information below related to the Children's Online Privacy and Protection Act ("COPPA"). COPPA requires that online service providers obtain parental consent before they collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 13. ScootPad does NOT collect, request or allow any student (not just those under 13) to save or share any personally identifiable information. We only allow a student's school, district, and/or teacher to enter a student's first name (last name is optional) for identifying the student within a classroom. If you are a student under 13, please do not send any personal information about yourself to us. If we learn we have received any personal information from a student under 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a student under 13 may have provided us personal information in violation of this paragraph, please contact us at ScootPad@LearningExplorer.com.
If you are a school, district, or teacher, you represent and warrant that you are solely responsible for complying with COPPA. You are responsible for understanding how any Publisher Software (defined and described below) that you install on behalf of yourself or other users may collect and use information of users of ScootPad's Services. If you are a teacher, you represent and warrant that you have permission and authorization from your school and/or district to use the Services as part of your curriculum, and for purposes of COPPA compliance, you represent and warrant that you are entering into these Terms on behalf of your school and/or district.
First, you have to sign up for an account (valid Email Address is required), and select a password. You promise to provide us with true, accurate, complete, and current registration information about yourself. You represent that you will not select a name that you do not have the rights to use or another person's name with the intent to impersonate that person for your ScootPad User ID. In certain situations, your ScootPad User ID may be selected for you by your school or district; the same rules apply to them when they select a ScootPad User ID for you. You may not transfer your account to anyone else without our prior written permission. You represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract (or if not, that you have received your parent's or guardian's permission to use the Services and your parent or guardian has agreed to these Terms on your behalf, as we described earlier). If you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of an organization or entity (for example, if you are 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. You promise to only use the Services for your personal, internal, non-commercial, educational use, and only in a manner that complies with all laws that apply to you. You also represent that you are not a person barred from receiving our Services under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction. If your use of the Services is prohibited by applicable laws, then you are not authorized to use the Services. We cannot and will not be responsible for you using the Services in a way that breaks the law. If you do not comply with the foregoing conditions, or we reasonably suspect that information provided by you is in violation of the foregoing conditions, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of our Services (or any portion thereof). We assume no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings. You are responsible for obtaining access to our Services, and that access may involve third-party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). If you use your mobile device to access or use our Services, you understand that you are responsible for any fees that your mobile service provider charges for data or SMS services. In addition, you must provide and are responsible for all equipment necessary to access our Services.
It is your responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of your password. If you use our Services, you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or if you feel your password has been compromised, or for any other breach of security. To better maintain account security, be sure to sign out from your account at the end of each session. We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this section. While we do allow children to use our Services, we only sell products to adults who can make purchases with a credit card or using PayPal, or via a school or district purchase order. Any users under the age of 18 may only make purchases with the involvement of a parent or guardian. We reserve the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content, or cancel orders at our sole discretion. If you feel that your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at ScootPad@LearningExplorer.com.
You represent that you will not post any User Submission that is illegal, obscene, threatening, defamatory, invasive of privacy, infringing of intellectual property rights, in violation of any contractual or fiduciary relationships, or otherwise injurious to third parties or objectionable and does not consist of or contain software viruses, malicious computer code, files or software, political campaigning, commercial solicitation, chain letters, mass mailings, or any form of "spam." You may not use a false email address, forge headers or manipulate identifiers, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead as to the origin of the User Submission. You agree not to act in a manner that negatively affects other users' ability to use our Site or Services, nor to harass or "stalk" another user. You agree not to interfere or disrupt our Services or servers or networks connected to our Services, or disobey any requirements, procedures, policies or regulations of networks connected to our Services, including using any device, software or routine to bypass our robot exclusion headers. We reserve the right (but not the obligation) to remove or edit such User Submissions, but do not regularly review posted content. You understand that any User Submission, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, is the sole responsibility of the person from whom such User Submission originated. This means that you are solely responsible for all User Submissions that you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available while using our Services. We do not control the User Submissions posted through our Services and, as such, do not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such User Submissions. You understand that by using our Services, you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent or objectionable. We are not liable for any Content under any circumstances, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any Content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of, the reliance of, or related to any Content posted, emailed, transmitted or otherwise made available through our Services, even if you relied on it. We cannot control and have no duty to take any action regarding how you may interpret and use the Content or what actions you may take as a result of having been exposed to the Content, and you hereby release us from all liability for you having acquired or not acquired Content through the Services. The Services may contain, or direct you to websites containing, information you may find offensive or inappropriate; we can't control that, but please let us know if it happens and we'll try to remedy the situation. We also can't guarantee the identity of any users with whom you interact in using the Services and are not responsible for which users gain access to the Services. But that doesn't mean we don't take security seriously; students are only permitted to access the Services within their Class/Groups, we require teachers, schools, and districts guard their Class/Group with the appropriate confidentiality, we enable teachers with moderation tools for monitoring content within Class/Groups, and student accounts are not enabled to "browse" groups to join (a student is only permitted to view and join a group he or she has been given a Class Code to).
The Services may contain links or connections to third party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by ScootPad. When you access third party websites or use third party services (including, without limitation, your use of Publisher Software, defined below), you accept that there are risks in doing so, and that ScootPad is not responsible for such risks. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Services and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third party website or service that you visit or utilize.
ScootPad has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy policies, or practices of or opinions expressed in any third party websites or by any third party that you interact with through the Services. In addition, ScootPad will not and cannot monitor, verify, censor or edit the content of any third party site or service (including without limitation the Publisher Software). By using the Services, you release and hold us harmless from any and all liability arising from your use of any third party website or service. Your interactions with organizations and/or individuals found on or through the Services, including payment and delivery of goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such organizations and/or individuals. You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these third parties (including without limitation Publishers). You agree that ScootPad shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings.
If there is a dispute between participants on this site, or between users and any third party, you agree that ScootPad is under no obligation to become involved. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users, you release ScootPad, its officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or our Services. If you are a California resident, you shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
The basic ScootPad user account, if and when being offered, is free - that is, we don't charge for signing up for a basic ScootPad account. We offer licenses for parents, individual teachers and schools/districts which grant access to all our features and services. To review all available licenses and their pricing, please visit our Pricing page, or contact us. From time to time, we may offer additional products and services for purchase. We reserve the right to create, modify or remove each subscription service and any other products and services at our sole discretion.
For Family and Classroom plans, upon request, we will refund your full Membership Fee up to 45 days after your Payment Method has been charged. Refunds will be issued to the purchasing Payment Method. We do not provide partial or prorated refunds. Upon refund of your Membership Fee, you will no longer have access to ScootPad. To request a refund, e‑mail support@ScootPad.com.
For School and District site licenses, license fees are non-refundable except where the platform does not perform in all material respects in accordance with the functional specifications set forth in the applicable Documentation and where Learning Explorer is unable to (i) promptly correct the portion of the Platform that is not performing in accordance with the functional specifications, or (ii) provide Customer with a reasonable procedure to circumvent the nonconformity. In this case, prorated License Fees for the remaining part of the subscription period paid by Customer will be refunded by Learning Explorer.
ScootPad is a cloud based dynamic learning platform, so the Services will change over time. We reserve the right at any time to, and from time to time we may, modify, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services (or any part thereof) for any reason or no reason with or without notice. We will try to give you notice when we make a material change to the Services that would adversely affect you, but this isn't always practical. Similarly, we reserve the right to remove any Content from the Services at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, if someone alleges you contributed that Content in violation of these Terms), or without any reason, and without notice. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Services or the removal of any Content.
You may request removal of your account, any associated email address and access to our Services by submitting a removal request to us.
Account termination may result in destruction of any Content associated with your account, so keep that in mind before you decide to terminate your account. We will try to provide advance notice to you prior to our terminating your account so that you are able to retrieve any important documents you may have stored in your account (to the extent allowed by law and these Terms), but we may not do so if we determine it would be impractical, illegal, or would not be in the interest of someone's safety or security to do so. If you have deleted your account by mistake, contact us immediately at ScootPad@LearningExplorer.com - we will try to help, but unfortunately, we can't promise that we can recover or restore anything.
We may, without prior notice, immediately delete, limit your access to or suspend your account and access to our Services. Cause for such action shall include, but not be limited to, any breaches or violations of the Terms, the Privacy Policy or other agreements or guidelines on the Site, requests by law enforcement or other government agencies, discontinuance or material modification to our Services (or any part thereof), unexpected technical or security issues or problems, extended periods of inactivity, your engagement in fraudulent or illegal activities, and/or nonpayment of any fees owed by you in connection with our Services. All deletions, limitations of access and account suspensions shall be made at our sole discretion and we are not liable to you or any third party for the deletion of your account or access to our Services.
Removal of your account includes any or all of the following: (a) removal of access to all or part of the offerings within our Services, (b) deletion of your password and all related information (or any part thereof), (c) removal of any User Submissions, and (d) barring of further use of all or part of our Services.
