Terms and Conditions

MINDsprinting LLC, (“MINDsprinting”, “Us”, “We”) is a Delaware limited liability company. Before using our website and our educational programs (collectively the “Site”) in any manner, and in particular before enrolling in any of our programs, You and/or any student that You may enroll (collectively referred to hereafter as “You”) should carefully review the terms and conditions below (referred to as this “Agreement”).

ACCESS AND USE OF MINDSPRINTING’S SITE, BY YOU, AT ANY TIME, SHALL MEAN THAT YOU ACKNOWLEDGE, AGREE TO, AND ACCEPT, WITHOUT LIMITATION OR QUALIFICATION, THIS AGREEMENT, AS IT MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME. WE ASK YOU TO PLEASE REVIEW THIS AGREEMENT OFTEN TO ENSURE THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF OUR CURRENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AS YOUR CONTINUED USE AFTER THE POSTING OF SUCH CHANGES SHALL BE DEEMED ACCEPTANCE BY YOU OF ALL SUCH CHANGES. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IN EFFECT, YOU SHOULD NOT ACCESS AND USE OUR SITE, AND YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL BE TO CEASE ACCESSING AND USING OUR SITE. THANK YOU.

  1. Enrollment Eligibility. A person under the age of eighteen is not permitted to enroll himself/herself or anyone else in a MINDsprinting program. By enrolling yourself or someone else in one of our programs, You represent and warrant to Us that: (i) You are eighteen years of age or older, and legally capable of entering into a binding agreement with Us; (ii) the information provided by You in order to enroll is complete, accurate and current; and (iii) You will be bound by, and abide by, the terms of this Agreement. Enrollments are non-transferable between students.

  2. Term/Tuition Fees. Unless otherwise stated during the registration process, the term of each program is one of the following that You select when registering: (i) a one (1) year Term, or (ii) a 30-Day Term, beginning on the date of enrollment. The tuition fees (“Fees”) applicable to each program and term are identified during the registration process. We reserve the right to change the amount of Fees charged for particular programs and the manner in which such Fees are required to be paid, at any time, as determined by Us in our sole discretion. Such changes shall become effective immediately upon posting anywhere on the Site, but shall not apply to any student who is currently enrolled in a program (a “Current Student”) except as follows: (i) if a Current Student renews a program after a change is effective, the new Fees and terms will apply to the renewal period for that program; (ii) if a Current Student enrolls for additional programs after the change, the new Fees and terms will apply to the additional programs; (iii) if the Current Student elects to switch programs and apply unused prepaid Fees to the “switched” program, the new Fees and terms will apply to the switched program; and (iv) if a Current Student converts from a 30-Day Term to a 1-Year Term and the effective date of the conversion is after the date of the change, the new Fees and terms will apply to the switched program. Unless otherwise stated, all Fees are quoted in U.S. dollars. You are responsible for paying the Fees for all programs in which You enroll yourself or someone else, and all applicable sales and other taxes arising out of such enrollments (other than income taxes applicable to MINDsprinting on revenues received).

    1-Year Term: Fees for each 1-Year Term must be prepaid in full, subject to your right to receive a refund as set forth in Section 3 below. For the month in which You enroll, We shall be deemed to have earned 1/12 of the Fees paid for a program effective when You enroll. Thereafter, We shall be deemed to have earned another 1/12 of the Fees paid for a program on the first day of each “Month” in which You are enrolled in that program. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Month” shall mean a calendar month. Your first Month shall be deemed the month in which You enroll (regardless of the day on which You enroll). However, You will have access to the program for a full 1-year period notwithstanding the day We are deemed to have earned the last 1/12 of the Fees You paid. Example: If You enroll on January 15, 2005, on that day We will be deemed to have earned 1/12 of the Fees You paid (for January 2005), and another 1/12 on the 1st day of each calendar month thereafter up to and including December 1, 2005 when We are deemed to have earned the last 1/12 of the Fees paid; BUT You will continue to have access to the program through January 14, 2006. This policy ensures that You always receive one (1) full year of access regardless of the day of the month on which You enroll.

    30-Day Term: Fees for each 30-Day Term must be prepaid in full. There is no right to any refund of any kind for any 30-Day Term. We shall be deemed to have earned the entire Fees paid for all 30-Day Term programs You enroll in, effective when You enroll. A 30-Day Term shall be deemed to commence on the day on which You enroll for such 30-Day Term and end 30-days later (e.g. from April 23 through May 22).

    Converting from a 30-Day Term to a 1-Year Term: You may convert from a 30-Day Term to a 1-Year Term at any time during the 30-Day Term by checking the appropriate boxes on the Edit Student Profile page on the Site and submitting the information to Us. However, your 1-Year Term will not commence until the end of the 30-Day Term, at which time You will be charged for the 1-Year Term. Example: If You enroll for a 30-Day Term on April 23 and submit to Us your election to covert to a 1-Year Term on May 6, your 1-Year Term will commence on May 23 (the day after your 30-Day Term expires), at which time You will be required to pay the Fees then in effect for the 1-Year Term. If You previously paid Fees by credit card, We will automatically charge your credit card at that time. If You previously paid Fees via check, You will be required to pay the Fees at that time.

    Upon payment of the required fees, You will be enrolled in LLH for a period of 30-days. LLH will provide live assistance in English in the following subjects (K-12 levels) only: math; reading comprehension; building vocabulary; language usage; and writing. Fees paid are deemed earned in full upon payment and are not refundable under any circumstances. During your 30-day enrollment period You will have unlimited access to schedule sessions with a live tutor and/or to wait in the queue for the next available tutor during periods indicated. All sessions are subject to availability; You are not guaranteed (i) any minimum number of sessions during your enrollment period or (ii) assistance at any particular time. To schedule a session,You must comply with the rules and instructions provided with the online scheduling system. A session will only be deemed scheduled if you have reserved the time slot in accordance with the scheduling instructions then in effect. Tutors will only be available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday between the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time; provided however, We may make tutors available at other times as indicated by the online scheduling system. To participate in a tutoring session You must download, install, and use the free whiteboard technology We provide, in accordance with the instructions provided. Failure to be logged in and present for a session at the time it is scheduled may result in the loss of that session; failure to be logged in and present for a scheduled session on more than one occasion, or failure to conduct yourself in a courteous and reasonable manner during any session may result in termination of your access or suspension/limitation of your ability to schedule any more sessions during the remainder of your enrollment period, as determined by Us in our sole discretion. Tutoring services are provided by a third party and MS shall not be liable for its acts or omissions (see Section 7).

  3. Refunds and Renewals You may terminate your enrollment in any or all programs, at any time, by going to the Edit Student Profile page on the Site, clicking on the Cancel Service link on the left, and following the instructions to cancel a program. Terminations are not retroactive; they become effective immediately and You will not be able to access the cancelled programs afterwards.

    NON-REFUNDABLE ENROLLMENTS: If You terminate a 30-day program or your enrollment is non-refundable (as indicated when you register), You will not be entitled to any refund.

    REFUNDABLE ENROLLMENTS: If Your enrollment is not stated to be non-refundable when You enroll and You terminate a 1-year program with at least one (1) “unused” Month (i.e. a complete calendar month that has not yet begun) remaining in your term, You will receive a refund of all Fees paid that We have not yet earned (i.e. the Fees for all remaining unused months in your term). Further, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if You terminate a refundable 1-year program within 30-days from the date You enroll in that program, You will receive a refund of 11/12 of the Fees You paid (i.e. if You paid $180, You would receive a refund of $165). Refunds will be promptly paid to You in the same manner in which You paid (e.g. credit card or check). Terminations are not retroactive; they become effective immediately.

    EXAMPLES:
    (1) If You enroll for a 1-year program on January 15, 2005 and You terminate at any time up to and including February 13, 2005, You will receive a refund the Fees prepaid for 11 unused months;

    (2) If You enroll for a 1-year program on January 15, 2005, and You terminate on February 14, 2005, You will receive a refund of Fees prepaid for 10 unused months (i.e. there are 10 full calendar months remaining in your term, starting with March); and

    (3) If You enroll for a 30-Day Term on January 15 and terminate on January 16, You will not be entitled to any refund.


    RENEWALS: Upon expiration of the term then in effect for any program, your enrollment in that program will automatically be renewed for another term of the same length.

    EXAMPLES:
    (i) If You are then enrolled for a 30-Day Term You will automatically be re-enrolled for another 30-Day Term;

    (ii) If You are then enrolled for a 1-Year Term You will automatically be re-enrolled for another 1-Year Term; and

    (iii) if You originally enrolled for a 30-Day Term, but then converted to a 1-Year Term, so that the 1-Year Term is the one then in effect, You will automatically be re-enrolled for another 1-Year Term.

    Renewals of non-refundable enrollments will be non-refundable for the renewal term unless otherwise specifically indicated by Us in writing at the time of the renewal. If You paid by credit card, your credit card will automatically be charged the Fee for the renewal term. If You paid by electronic check, You will have to complete the payment process again (We will notify You in advance to avoid any interruption in your program). Fees paid for your renewal term will be earned by Us in the same manner described in Section 2 above. 1-Year Term Example: If You enroll on January 15, 2005 your renewal term will be deemed to start on January 15, 2006; We will be deemed to have earned the first 1/12 of the renewal Fees paid as of January 15, 2006; We will be deemed to earn 1/12 of the renewal Fees paid on the first day of each of the next 11-months; and You will have access to the program until January 14, 2007). 30-Day Term Example: If You enroll on January 15, 2005 your renewal term will be deemed to start on February 14, 2005; We will be deemed to have earned the entire renewal fee on February 14, 2005.

  4. Use Of our Site and Content. Our Site, and all of the information and materials contained or obtained on or through our Site (including any software used on our Site), whether viewed or printed, (including but not limited to, all images and text, lessons, homework, tests, products, images, photographs, tutorials, graphics, music, sounds, logos, shockwave/flash movies, and other material) (collectively “Content”) is the property of MINDsprinting, its affiliates, licensors, and various third-party companies and is protected by US and international intellectual property laws. As a user or enrollee of our Site, You may download Content solely for your personal, non-commercial use as provided below. You may not use the Content in any matter inconsistent with this Agreement or applicable law, and You may not duplicate, publish, modify or alter the Content.

    Each enrollment in a MINDsprinting program entitles You to access the educational Content for that program (including the Assessment Test), and to print materials from that program, for use by one (1) student only. Our Assessment Tests must be done online, and our educational assignments must be printed (the results must be reported to Us online). MINDsprinting reserves the right to change the Content, presentation, performance, user facilities and availability of any part of the Site in our sole discretion and without notice; provided however We will not intentionally change the availability of programs for which You have paid without notice to You.

  5. Prize Redemption. Once enrolled, You may earn stars (see the Star Bank for details) that may be redeemed for prizes, in accordance with our policies that are in effect from time to time. Our Site contains a catalogue of prizes that You may select when You redeem stars earned. We do not guaranty that any prize that may appear in the catalogue will be available at the time stars are redeemed. In the event a prize selected is not available, You will be entitled to select another prize in the same redemption level (e.g. if the unavailable prize required 300 stars, You may select another prize requiring 300 stars). All of a student’s stars must be redeemed before that student’s enrollment in all MINDsprinting programs expires or is terminated; failure to be enrolled in at least one (1) MINDsprinting program will result in forfeiture of all stars earned as of the expiration or termination date of the student’s last MINDsprinting program. We do not manufacture, inventory or ship prizes; fulfillment of prize orders is performed by a third party under contract with Us. AS ALL PRIZES ARE SUPPLIED BY A THIRD PARTY, MINDSPRINTING SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR, AND DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF QUALITY, USE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OTHERWISE) RELATIVE TO OR FOR: (i) THE ACTS AND OMISSIONS OF SUCH THIRD PARTY; AND (ii) THE PRIZES SELECTED AND/OR RECEIVED (INCLUDING THE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF SUCH PRIZES).

  6. Software. Any software for download directly or indirectly from our Site, whether owned by Us or a third party, is provided for your convenience and all copyright rights therein shall at all times be reserved to the owner thereof. You agree that You will not download, copy or install any such software unless (i) You first agree to the terms and conditions of any license agreement that accompanies, is included with, or in any way applies to the software, and (ii) You abide by the terms of that license agreement thereafter.

  7. Third Parties. Should our Site at any time contain any: (i) advertisements for third party products, services, or websites; or (ii) links to third party websites; (collectively “3rd Party Activities”), We provide them only as a convenience for You, and not as an endorsement of the products, services, or information provided by such third party sites. MINDSPRINTING SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR, AND DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF QUALITY, USE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR OTHERWISE) RELATIVE TO OR FOR ANY 3RD PARTY ACTIVITIES. For example, MINDsprinting shall not be liable for, the quality, safety, truth, accuracy or legality of any 3rd Party Activities, including but not limited to any text, graphics, content, products, items or services, offered or obtained, directly or indirectly, from or as a result of any 3rd Party Activities.

    Live Tutor Support is a 3rd Party Activity that is provided by a third party on its website and therefore the terms of the first paragraph of this section, Third Parties, immediately above applies in its entirety. We link enrollees in this program from Our website to the third party website. As this program involves live communications, adults are strongly advised to monitor all sessions and communications between minors and tutors. Enrollments are for thirty (30) day periods. There are no automatic renewals; enrollees must complete the renewal process and authorize another charge. The 3rd Party Provider has agreed to use good faith efforts to provide reasonable service. However tutoring sessions are subject to the availability of tutors during published hours of program operation (which may be changed from time to time in our discretion). All such changes will be reasonably posted. Enrollees in this program hereby acknowledge and agree that: (i) demand for tutors will fluctuate and therefore there may be occasions when a tutor or an appointment is not available when desired by an enrollee, and/or an enrollee may not be able to receive as many tutoring sessions during an enrollment period as he/she would like; (ii) enrollees shall be bound by, and abide by, all rules, regulations, and requirements of the Live Tutor Support program, as published from time to time on this website, the appointment scheduler, and/or the 3rd Party Activity website; and (iii) the unavailability of a tutor or an appointment at a particular time desired by an enrollee, or the failure to receive any particular number of tutoring sessions during an enrollment period shall not be deemed a breach of these Terms and Conditions. Enrollees in this program shall not be entitled to any refunds under any circumstances.
