Effective February 27, 2017
Welcome to Legends of Learning! These are the terms of your using our in school online game based learning and content platform (the “Platform”), and any other websites, applications, Application Programming Interfaces (“APIs”), and online services provided in connection with the Platform (collectively, with the Platform, the “Services”) and are operated by Legends of Learning, Inc. (“Legends of Learning”, “we”, “our,” or “us”).
By using the Services, you agree to the following Terms and Conditions (“Terms”).
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY.
If you use the Services, or if you register as a user, you are agreeing to these terms as well as to our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect and use information about you. If your school, school district or other educational institution (each an “Educational Institution”) has a separate agreement with us, these terms will apply only to the extent they do not conflict with that agreement.
Our Services are not offered directly to students. Educational Institutions or teachers must first sign up for primary accounts, and then invite students to use Legends of Learning through student accounts. If we learn that a student of any age has created a primary account, that account will be deleted. For more information on our treatment of information collected from children under the age of 13, please see the Legends of Learning Privacy Policy.
Changes to These Terms and Conditions and to the Services
We may amend these Terms from time to time. The most current version will always be here. If we believe an amendment is material, we will notify you by emailing the email address you provided to us, if you have provided one. By continuing to access or use the Services after an amendment becomes effective, you agree to be bound by the amended Terms. We may change the functionality of the Services, or stop offering the Services altogether, at any time and without notice to you.

We expect users of our online forums to interact with each other as respectful educational professionals and to post only appropriate Content. The forums are only available for teachers, game developers, curriculum professionals and other individuals invited by Legends of Learning. Students may not participate in the forum.

The following are examples of the kind of Content you may not post on or through the Service. We reserve the right to investigate and take appropriate action against anyone who, in our sole discretion, violates this provision, including without limitation, removing the offending Content from the Services and terminating the accounts of such violators.
