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

AND USING OUR SITE. THANK YOU.
-
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.
-
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).
-
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.

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.
-
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

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.
-
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.
