The Services are available to individuals age 13 and over.

You may register for an account regardless of where you live. Textbook rentals and sales are only available to residents of the United States. All financial transactions will be processed in U.S. dollars. The Services are not intended for distribution or use in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject LearnTeachWorld to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. By registering, you certify that you are not on any list of restricted persons with whom it is unlawful for a U.S. company to do business. LearnTeachWorld operates the majority of its Services in the United States. LearnTeachWorld makes no representations or warranties that the Services are appropriate for use or access in other locations. Anyone using or accessing the Services from other locations does so on their own initiative and is responsible for compliance with United States' and local laws regarding online conduct and acceptable content, if and to the extent such laws are applicable.

You agree that LearnTeachWorld may use your name and profile picture in connection with social ads to advertise products and services to your network based on your use of the Services and your interactions with LearnTeachWorld and third parties through the Services.
You further agree that LearnTeachWorld is free to use any ideas or concepts contained in any User Content for any purposes whatsoever, including, without limitation, developing, manufacturing and marketing products and services; and creating informational articles, without any payment of any kind to you. You authorize LearnTeachWorld to publish your User Content in a searchable format that may be accessed by users of the Services and the Internet.

Upon LearnTeachWorld's request, you will furnish LearnTeachWorld any documentation, substantiation or releases necessary to verify your compliance with these Terms of Use.
Except as otherwise described in the posted Privacy Policy, or other agreement on the Services presented at the time you provide your User Content (defined below), you agree that your User Content will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary and will not be returned. You acknowledge and agree that your relationship with LearnTeachWorld is not a confidential, fiduciary, or other type of special relationship, and that your decision to submit any User Content does not place LearnTeachWorld in a position that is any different from the position held by members of the general public, including with regard to your User Content. None of your User Content will be subject to any obligation of confidence on the part of LearnTeachWorld.
It is our policy not to accept or consider content, information, ideas, suggestions or other materials other than those we have specifically requested, to which certain specific terms, conditions and requirements may apply. This is to avoid any misunderstandings if your ideas are similar to those we have developed or are developing independently.
You agree that LearnTeachWorld has no obligation to monitor or enforce your intellectual property rights to your User Content but has the right to protect and enforce its and its licensees' rights to your User Content. You further acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, LearnTeachWorld will not have any obligation to you with regard to User Content and that LearnTeachWorld may or may not monitor, display or accept your User Content and may delete it at any time. We may, but are not obligated to, review User Content prior to posting it on or distributing it through the Services, or allowing them to be distributed through the Services. This includes private messages exchanged by you and other users through the Services. This "User Content and Activities" section shall survive any expiration or termination of your relationship with LearnTeachWorld.
You are solely responsible for the User Content you submit, through or in connection with our Services, and any material or information that you transmit to other users and for your interactions with other users. When you contribute, upload or otherwise provide User Content via the Services, you agree to comply with the following Community Usage Rules. In addition to removing such prohibited materials, LearnTeachWorld may terminate the responsible accounts, and/or report such activities to law enforcement authorities as appropriate.
Prohibited User Content includes, but is not limited to, material that LearnTeachWorld determines:
LearnTeachWorld reserves the right, in our sole discretion, to make changes to or discontinue any of the Services at any time. Any description of the Services provided by LearnTeachWorld is not a representation that the Services are working or will always work in that manner, as LearnTeachWorld is continuously updating the Services, and these updates may not always be reflected in the Terms of Use.
The Services may offer features and services that are available to you via your mobile device. These features and services may include, without limitation, the ability to upload content to the Services, receive messages from the Services, download applications to your mobile phone or access features from the Services (collectively, the "Mobile Features"). We may charge for Mobile Features and these charges will be disclosed prior to completion of registration for the Mobile Feature. Also, standard messaging, data and other fees may be charged by your carrier. Carrier fees and charges will appear on your mobile bill or be deducted from your pre-paid balance. Your carrier may prohibit or restrict certain Mobile Features and certain Mobile Features may be incompatible with your carrier or mobile device. Contact your carrier with questions regarding these issues.
If you change or terminate your mobile account, you agree to promptly update your LearnTeachWorld account information so that any messages or notices from LearnTeachWorld regarding the Services are sent to you and not to the person who is assigned your old number.
For any of our mobile apps, you agree that the third-party store or platform through which our apps are available (including, without limitation, the Apple App Store) is not liable to you in connection with our apps. If you use any ISBN scan feature of the Services, you are responsible for verifying the accuracy of the scanned code before relying on it.
Notifications or receipts from LearnTeachWorld will be delivered to you by email at the address you provided to LearnTeachWorld when you created your account or as later updated. You may also opt to receive text message reminders from LearnTeachWorld, as a courtesy to you. Please review our text message mobile disclosures, which are incorporated into the Terms of Use.
LearnTeachWorld may contact you, sometimes through an automated or pre-recorded message, using the phone numbers you provide to LearnTeachWorld, including wireless numbers, to remind you that rental books are due to be returned or otherwise provide the Services. You are still responsible for compliance with the Terms of Use, including, e.g., timely return of your books, whether or not you receive such reminders via email, text or otherwise. LearnTeachWorld will not ask you for your personal information, account username, and password, or any information about you or your method of payment via email or text message. If you receive such an email or text message purportedly from LearnTeachWorld, it is fraudulent and LearnTeachWorld will have no responsibility for any misuse of any information you provide as a result.
You may request cancellation of your account at any time throughout your use of our Services. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, your account will only be cancelled and closed after you have returned all books that have been rented to you (if any) and all transactions have been processed including payment of assessed penalties or the cashing of any refund check, if applicable. LearnTeachWorld may cancel your account in its sole discretion any reason, including but not limited to inactivity or misuse. Even if your account is cancelled, your photos, bibliographic and citation information, comments, likes, friendships, and any other data you have shared via the Services may persist within the Service after cancellation of your account (for example, if your content has been reshared by others).
LearnTeachWorld may require users of the Services to provide a valid method of payment (e.g., credit or debit card, PayPal account, etc.) tied to an account at a financial institution when they register for an account (to ensure users are able to make applicable payments to LearnTeachWorld) or upon ordering products or services. If a method of payment is required, you are responsible for ensuring that a valid method of payment is associated with your LearnTeachWorld account at all times (either the original method of payment or a replacement). To confirm your method of payment is valid, LearnTeachWorld may initiate a "pending" charge on the account. This charge will not be confirmed and, therefore, you will not be charged and it will simply disappear from your financial statement (usually within seven days - check with your financial institution for additional information). Please be aware that this pending charge may be initiated each time you edit the payment information for your account or place an order that cannot be processed.
For certain transactions (e.g: tutoring sessions), we may authorize anticipated charges and taxes from your method of payment. The amount of the authorization sought will depend on the transaction and may also vary depending on the nature of the payment method you have provided. This is sometimes referred to as an authorization hold and these funds may not be available for your use. If the fees incurred exceed the authorization hold, we may automatically request additional authorization holds. If the provider for your method of payment rejects any authorization, you agree that we may charge any other method of payment we have on file for you (without notice to you, unless required by applicable law). At the conclusion or termination of an ongoing transaction (e.g., End of Tutoring session), if the charges do not exceed the amount due, the authorization for the amount not utilized will be released per the rules of your payment method provider. The timeframe for an authorization hold to be removed will depend on the policies of your financial institution.You are responsible and liable for ensuring that enough funds are available in connection with the payment method used at the time any transaction is processed.
Other Policies: Where your billing address is requested, you must provide the address and phone number your financial institution has on record, as well as the card's security code (e.g., CVC, CVV, CID). LearnTeachWorld will make reasonable efforts to process your transactions in a timely manner, but we make no guarantees regarding the processing time for charges. LearnTeachWorld may store your method of payment and you hereby acknowledge and agree that LearnTeachWorld may charge you for, and you will pay for, any charges specified on the Services and for any auto-extension. You also agree that we may, at our discretion, send your account to a collection agency, and recover our reasonable costs of collection from you, if you fail to pay all fees due and owing to LearnTeachWorld.
There may be links from the Services, or from communications you receive from the Services, to third-party web sites or online features. The Services also may include third-party content that we do not control, maintain or endorse.
Functionality on the Services may also permit interactions between the Services and a third-party web site or online feature, including applications that connect the Services or your profile on the Services with a third-party site. For example, the Services may include a button enabling you to indicate, on your social networking page, that you "like" a specific product on the Services, or a feature that lets you post to your social networking page a link to a specific product or the ability to share content from the Services or your User Content with a third-party, which may be publicly posted on that third-party's web site. Using this functionality typically requires you to login to your account on the third-party website. We do not control any of these third-party sites or any of their content. Neither LearnTeachWorld nor its service providers are responsible for the practices of any third-party. Accordingly, you expressly acknowledge and agree that we make no representations or warranties about the completeness, accuracy, or existence of any advertising, products, or other materials on or available from third-party sites or online features and any reliance placed by you on such materials is at your own risk. YOUR CORRESPONDENCE AND BUSINESS DEALINGS WITH SUCH THIRD-PARTIES FOUND THROUGH THE SERVICES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PAYMENT AND DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, AND ANY TERMS, CONDITIONS, WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH ANY SUCH DEALINGS, ARE SOLELY BETWEEN YOU AND THE THIRD-PARTY.
LearnTeachWorld grants you the revocable permission to link to the web sites on which these Terms of Use are posted; provided, however, that any link to such a web site: (a) must not frame or create a browser or border environment around any of the content on such web sites or otherwise mirror any part of such web sites; (b) must not imply that LearnTeachWorld or the Services are endorsing or sponsoring any third-party or its products or services, unless LearnTeachWorld has given the third-party prior written consent; (c) must not present false information about, or disparage, tarnish, or otherwise, in LearnTeachWorld's sole opinion, harm LearnTeachWorld or its products or services; (d) must not use any LearnTeachWorld trademarks without the prior written permission from LearnTeachWorld; (e) must not contain content that could be construed as distasteful, offensive or controversial or otherwise objectionable (in LearnTeachWorld's sole opinion); and (f) must be owned and controlled by you or the person or entity placing the link, or otherwise permit you to enable such link subject to these Terms of Use. By linking to a LearnTeachWorld Website, you agree that you do and will continue to comply with the above linking requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Terms of Use, LearnTeachWorld reserves the right to prohibit linking to any LearnTeachWorld Website for any reason in our sole and absolute discretion.
We may tie your LearnTeachWorld experience to information about the school you have identified to LearnTeachWorld. For certain schools, the Services enable you to search and retrieve information about the materials required for particular courses. Please be aware that course information and assigned materials may change from time to time, and LearnTeachWorld may not receive updated information from the school in a timely manner. LearnTeachWorld is not responsible for any errors in the information provided in the course searches on the Services. Where specific school names or information relate to a specific school are displayed, they do not imply any endorsement or approval by the school. Except where specifically stated, LearnTeachWorld has no affiliation with nor endorsement from any academic institution, and school names and information are used on the Services only to the extent necessary to organize, identify and permit use of information and sections of the Services that may be tailored to students of a particular school, or for other lawful uses.
You may use LearnTeachWorld's homework help services as a "Member" or a "Visitor." "Members" may include a variety of designated levels of members who may be charged for services according to the terms of the particular offer or registered free members (a "Free Member"), or other membership levels. "Visitors" are users that have not registered for an account with access to and use of certain aspects of the homework help services, which may be restricted and only available to certain Members. The membership levels, the benefits and pricing of each level of membership may vary and are subject to change at any time, please read the terms of any particular level of membership carefully before accepting it. LearnTeachWorld may modify these levels and benefits from time to time, and each such modification is effective as soon as we post it on the relevant Services except to the extent that your particular pricing structure is established in writing for a period of time in the future, such as an annual plan. It is therefore important that you review the membership page regularly to ensure you are aware of any such changes.
LearnTeachWorld's homework help, study and note services are available merely as informational and study aids and should not be considered substitutes for applicable coursework, homework, class and lecture requirements, assignments and related materials. In using the Services, you specifically agree not to use, claim or submit as your own any portion of the help materials. LearnTeachWorld does not guarantee the accuracy or quality of answers or other study material that appear on the Services, some of which may be posted by other users. You further agree the Services may present information that is incorrect or inconsistent when compared to similar content and materials, including solutions and their methodologies, provided or preferred by publishers of applicable problems or instructors of applicable courses.
LearnTeachWorld may permit users to upload and in some cases sell content for the purpose of aiding others in the education and learning process. Users may not post content owned or created (except if it is in the public domain) by another person and hereby represent and warrant that: (i) each was created by the user and the user is the sole owner of all content posted to Services sites and all rights in such content (except for public domain content), including, without limitation, copyright and (ii) the posting of Content on or through the Services will not breach the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights, intellectual property rights or any other rights of any third-party. Users agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and any other monies owing to any third-party for any content provided by you to the Services. Users of the Services agree to exclude from such content any documents, records or files made accessible to them by (a) your school, professor or other instructor, (b) any board of examination, (c) any author or publisher whose works have been used as part of studies or (d) any co-student.
In creating study related content, students must respect any intellectual property rights that others may have in content. All content posted on the Services must be independently created, transformative and non-derivative. It should not be a transcript or recording of another's independent efforts, nor should it copy from materials purchased from or created by others. It should go beyond simply summarizing material covered in class or in written or recorded materials, but include information raised by students in or outside of class, and independent thought, analysis and commentary. Class notes, for example, must be substantially rewritten after class and include independent thought and analysis, research and information; notes that use a lecturer's words or that are not carefully reviewed, rethought and rewritten after class are not useful to or appreciated by students, and not permitted on the Services.
Schools may have their own policies that place restrictions on a student's ability to make commercial use of study materials, even otherwise lawful materials that the student has independently created. You are responsible for becoming familiar with such policies, abiding by them, and discontinuing the use of any Services if such use is contrary to your school policy or the instruction of your professor.
Class notes and study guides are solely for the specific use of students in the designated class for which they are created. Individuals who are not registered for a class may not purchase study guides, class notes or outlines for that class. Check the accuracy of all information from study guides, class notes, answers and outlines – to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, LearnTeachWorld does not guarantee their accuracy or completeness, they are simply an aid to the study process.
LearnTeachWorld's site may help students identify potential careers by providing a basic description for a variety of potential jobs. In some cases, LearnTeachWorld may provide salary ranges for jobs, and point users to potential job opportunities in that field, based upon your interests and skills that you have represented to LearnTeachWorld that you possess. LearnTeachWorld may also help identify skills that are commonly required for those jobs and recommend learning materials that (combined with your own efforts) may help you achieve better proficiency with those skills. LearnTeachWorld's attempts to assess your skills, identify gaps, and match those gaps to available learning materials may not be accurate in your particular circumstances. LearnTeachWorld is simply one starting point, not an exhaustive list of all potential jobs or opportunities that might be available to you, and in a fast-changing employment landscape LearnTeachWorld does not guarantee that the descriptions, salaries and job opportunities set out on our site are always up to date, reflect the current job market, or are applicable to the market in your area. We believe that the materials on our site, if you use them and apply yourself, can improve your skills and employability. Still, LearnTeachWorld does not provide in-depth, individualized job counseling, and your success in landing a job in a particular career depends on a wide variety of factors. Our system's efforts to identify skills gaps, and recommend learning materials to address those gaps, may not result in improved employment prospects; completing recommended classes is in not a guarantee of finding employment in that field, or any other field.
LearnTeachWorld may also help students or alumni find internships or entry level jobs or other positions by accepting postings of job descriptions from third-party employers, through its Internships.com website or other LearnTeachWorld Websites. LearnTeachWorld does not confirm the accuracy of the postings, nor can LearnTeachWorld know whether a particular position has been filled. LearnTeachWorld may recommend particular job postings to particular users based upon available data about the position or the user, or other criteria, but the actual criteria for job positions lie within the discretion of the employer and LearnTeachWorld makes no representations about the suitability of any candidate for any listed position.
LearnTeachWorld may offer third-party learning videos and instructional material. LearnTeachWorld does not hire or employ Instructors. We are not responsible for the content of such third-party materials, nor the advice provided in such materials. We do not control such materials and, as such, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, do not guarantee their reliability, validity, accuracy or truthfulness. Completing such courses may provide you with skills and experience that may help your career prospects, but as noted above, there are a large number of factors tied to your career and completing such courses is no guarantee of improved employability or enhanced career prospects.
LearnTeachWorld may offer services to help students prepare for a variety of standardized tests. Any test prep courses branded as LearnTeachWorld's and offered through the LearnTeachWorld Websites are copyrighted and the property of LearnTeachWorld, Inc., and are for the sole personal non-commercial use of individuals who register with LearnTeachWorld and pay for such services, subject to these Terms of Use. LearnTeachWorld test prep services are not endorsed nor affiliated with the companies who offer the test itself.
LearnTeachWorld may offer citation, bibliography and plagiarism checker services, including but not limited to, EasyBib, BibMe, Cite This For Me, Citation Machine, Normas APA and other writing tools through the LearnTeachWorld Websites to help students and their educators develop student reading and writing skills. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, LearnTeachWorld does not guarantee the accuracy or quality of content that appears on the Services in connection with such citation, bibliography and plagiarism checker services and other writing tools.
LearnTeachWorld may also make online tutoring services available through LearnTeachWorld Websites ("Tutoring Services"). The following sections that include "Tutors" or "Tutoring" in the heading relate specifically and only to Tutoring Services. If there is any conflict between this Tutoring Services section and these Terms of Use, the tutoring sections control within respect to the Tutoring Services. Tutoring sections are not applicable to other LearnTeachWorld Services or Websites or any area outside of the tutoring services websites.
You understand and agree that LearnTeachWorld acts only as an interface to facilitate communications between users and Tutors and to collect payment from users on behalf of Tutors. THE TUTORING SERVICES COMPRISE AN ONLINE PLATFORM WHICH FACILITATES THE CONNECTION BETWEEN USERS AND TUTORS FEATURED ON THE SITE AND VIA THE SERVICES.

LEARNTEACHWORLD HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE LESSON SERVICES OR CONDUCT OF USERS, TUTORS AND OTHER USERS OF THE SITE AND SERVICES.
Certain areas of the LearnTeachWorld Websites (and your access to or use of certain Services or LearnTeachWorld Content) including any policy pages may have different terms and conditions posted or may require you to agree with and accept additional terms and conditions. If there is a conflict between these User Terms of Service and terms and conditions or policies posted for a specific area of the LearnTeachWorld Websites, Services or LearnTeachWorld Content, the later terms and conditions will take precedence with respect to your use of or access to that area of the LearnTeachWorld Websites, Services or LearnTeachWorld Content, as applicable. Policies relating to Tutoring Services may be found here, and are hereby incorporated into this Agreement.
PLEASE NOTE THAT LEARNTEACHWORLD DOES NOT CONFIRM THE INFORMATION IN A TUTOR’S PROFILE, THEIR COMPETENCY, THEIR BACKGROUND NOR THEIR PROFICIENCY IN THE SUBJECT MATTERS WHERE THEY OFFER THEIR SERVICES. LEARNTEACHWORLD CANNOT AND DOES NOT CONTROL THE SERVICES PERFORMED BY TUTORS FOR USERS, OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY TUTORS, USERS OR OTHER USERS OF THE SITE AND SERVICES. LEARNTEACHWORLD IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF TUTORS, USERS, THIRD-PARTIES AND OTHER USERS OF THE SITE AND SERVICES. ACCORDINGLY, ANY MEETINGS (VIRTUAL OR OTHERWISE) BETWEEN USERS, TUTORS OR ANY OTHER THIRD-PARTIES AND ANY PURCHASES OF LESSON SERVICES PROVIDED BY TUTORS ARE DONE AT THE USER'S RISK, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
LearnTeachWorld is not responsible for the use or exchange of any information or files between Tutors and users. Further, LearnTeachWorld does not control, nor is it responsible for, the truth, accuracy, completeness, safety, timeliness, quality, legality or applicability of anything said or written by Tutors or users. Accordingly, we encourage you to communicate directly with others you may come into contact with as a result of your use of the LearnTeachWorld Websites and Services.
LearnTeachWorld acts as a technology service that facilitates provision of Lesson Services between users and Tutors and does not make decisions related to the provision of, or otherwise exercise control or supervision over, Lesson Services or contents thereof.

YOU AGREE THAT IN THE EVENT YOU INCUR ANY DAMAGES, LOSSES OR INJURIES THAT ARISE OUT OF THE LEARNTEACHWORLD PARTIES' ACTS OR OMISSIONS, THE DAMAGES, IF ANY, CAUSED TO YOU ARE NOT IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU TO AN INJUNCTION PREVENTING ANY EXPLOITATION OF ANY WEB SITE, PROPERTY, PRODUCT, SERVICE, OR OTHER LEARNTEACHWORLD CONTENT OWNED OR CONTROLLED BY THE LEARNTEACHWORLD PARTIES, AND YOU WILL HAVE NO RIGHTS TO ENJOIN OR RESTRAIN THE DEVELOPMENT, PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, ADVERTISING, EXHIBITION OR EXPLOITATION OF ANY WEB SITE, PROPERTY, PRODUCT, SERVICE, OR OTHER LEARNTEACHWORLD CONTENT OWNED OR CONTROLLED BY THE LEARNTEACHWORLD PARTIES.
BY ACCESSING THE SERVICES, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MAY BE WAIVING RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS THAT ARE AT THIS TIME UNKNOWN OR UNSUSPECTED, AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH WAIVER, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND, AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE, THE BENEFITS OF SECTION 1542 OF THE CIVIL CODE OF CALIFORNIA, AND ANY SIMILAR LAW OF ANY STATE OR TERRITORY, WHICH PROVIDES AS FOLLOWS: "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."
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the LearnTeachWorld Parties from and against any and all loss, liability, damages, judgments, claims, demands, costs, investigations, settlements, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or directly or indirectly relating to (a) your User Content; (b) your use of the Services or activities in connection with the Services; (c) your breach or anticipatory breach of these Terms of Use; (d) your violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances or orders of any governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, including, without limitation, all regulatory, administrative and legislative authorities; (e) information or material transmitted through your computer, even if not submitted by you, that infringes, violates or misappropriates any copyright, trademark, trade secret, trade dress, patent, publicity, privacy or other right of any person or defames any person; (f) any misrepresentation made by you; or (g) the LearnTeachWorld Parties' use of your information or User Content as permitted under these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, or any other written agreement between you and LearnTeachWorld.

The LearnTeachWorld Parties reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and you will not in any event settle any claim without the prior written consent of a duly authorized employee of the LearnTeachWorld Parties. These indemnity obligations shall survive any expiration or termination of your relationship with LearnTeachWorld.
Software related to or made available by the Services may be subject to United States export controls.

LearnTeachWorld respects the intellectual property rights of others and takes the protection of copyrights and other intellectual property seriously. Only the intellectual property rights owner or person authorized to act on behalf of the owner can report potentially infringing content. If you believe your work has been infringed through the Services, please notify us at LearnTeachWorld, Inc., Attention: Copyright Agent – 41730, Vaquero court, Fremont, CA, CopyrightAgent@LearnTeachWorld.com.
NOTE: This contact information is for inquiries regarding potential copyright and other infringement only.
It is often difficult to determine if your intellectual property rights have been violated or if the DMCA requirements have been met. We may request additional information before we remove any infringing material. If a dispute develops as to the correct owner of the rights in question, we reserve the right to remove your content along with that of the alleged infringer pending resolution of the matter.
LearnTeachWorld will provide you with notice if your materials have been removed based on a third-party complaint of alleged infringement of the third-party's intellectual property rights.
IF YOU KNOWINGLY MISREPRESENT THAT MATERIAL IS OR IS NOT INFRINGING, YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO CIVIL PENALTIES. THESE INCLUDE MONETARY DAMAGES, COURT COSTS, AND ATTORNEYS' FEES INCURRED BY LEARNTEACHWORLD, BY ANY COPYRIGHT OWNER, OR BY ANY COPYRIGHT OWNER'S LICENSEE THAT IS INJURED AS A RESULT OF RELIANCE UPON YOUR MISREPRESENTATION. YOU MAY ALSO BE SUBJECT TO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION FOR PERJURY. You agree we may provide your notice to the provider of the allegedly infringing material.
We have a policy of terminating accounts of users who repeatedly and intentionally infringe the intellectual property rights of others.
If a dispute arises between you and LearnTeachWorld, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you agree that we will resolve any claim or controversy at law or equity that relates to or arises out of the Terms of Use or the Services or your use of the Services (a "Claim") in accordance with the subsections below.
You and LearnTeachWorld agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof (collectively, "Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration; except that either party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court. Without limiting the preceding sentence, you will also have the right to litigate any other Disputes if you provide LearnTeachWorld with written notice of your desire to do so by email at https://www.LearnTeachWorld.com/contactus/ or regular mail at our offices located at LearnTeachWorld, Inc., 3990 Freedom Circle, Santa Clara, CA 95054, Attn: General Counsel within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms of Use (such notice, an "Arbitration Opt-out Notice"). If you do not provide LearnTeachWorld with an Arbitration Opt-out Notice within the thirty (30) day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any Dispute except as expressly set forth with respect to individual actions in small claims courts. You acknowledge and agree that you and LearnTeachWorld are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and LearnTeachWorld otherwise agree, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this "Legal Disputes" section will be deemed void. This "Legal Disputes" section will survive any termination of these Terms of Use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party reserves the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to any dispute related to the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's intellectual property or proprietary rights or breach of the User Content and Activities provisions of this Agreement.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this Section of these Terms of Use. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.orgor by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section. These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.
A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides forms for use in arbitration proceedings including a Demand for Arbitration: Consumer Arbitration Rules here.) The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
Unless you and LearnTeachWorld otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and LearnTeachWorld submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator's decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator's award damages must be consistent with the terms of Limitation of Liability section of these Terms of Use as to the types and the amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. LearnTeachWorld will not seek, and hereby waives all rights it may have under applicable law to recover, attorneys' fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration.
Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, LearnTeachWorld will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
If LearnTeachWorld changes this Legal Disputes section, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including email to legal: legal@learnteachworld.com) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the "Last Updated" date. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and LearnTeachWorld in accordance with the provisions of this Section as of the date you first accepted the terms of these Terms of Use (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Use).
This "Legal Disputes" section shall survive any expiration or termination of your relationship with LearnTeachWorld.
When using the Services, you are subject to any posted policies or rules applicable to features you use through the Services, including without limitation the General Policies and all policies referenced in the General Policies or elsewhere in this Agreement. All such policies or rules are hereby incorporated into these Terms of Use. These policies may change from time to time.
Please refer to our Privacy Policy (https://www.LearnTeachWorld.com/privacypolicy) for information on how we collect, use and disclose information from our users. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy
The list prices displayed on the Services for publications come from bibliographic information we receive from leading third-party sources and publishers. Each list price is the publisher's suggested retail price. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, LearnTeachWorld is not responsible for errors in that third-party data, including prices for the sale or purchase (buyback) of books. If a title does not have a publisher's suggested list price, the Services may not show a list price in the online catalog. If a product is listed at an incorrect price due to typographical error or an error in pricing information received from our suppliers or for any other reason, LearnTeachWorld shall have the right to refuse or cancel any order (to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law), whether or not the order has been confirmed and your method of payment charged. If your method of payment has already been charged and your order is canceled, LearnTeachWorld will issue a credit to your method of payment.
From time to time, LearnTeachWorld may issue you "LearnTeachWorld Credit." Upon providing you LearnTeachWorld Credit, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, LearnTeachWorld may place limits on its use, and LearnTeachWorld Credit may not be moved from one LearnTeachWorld Service to another. If provided to you in exchange for goods or services or as a refund, it will not expire, though we may with notice after a posted period of time convert your credit to cash and send it to your address of record. If the credit was given to you with terms explicitly authorizing redemption for cash, you may convert that credit to cash. If you receive a credit from customer support, you may not redeem it for cash.
From time to time, LearnTeachWorld may offer discounts, bonuses, coupons, loyalty programs, points programs, sweepstakes, contests or other promotional incentives. These incentives typically have their own specific rules, restrictions and limitations (e.g., limiting when, how often, and under what circumstances you may be eligible for the promotion). You are responsible for carefully reviewing and complying with these applicable rules, restrictions and limitations. You agree not to engage in any self-dealing, collusion, smurfing (defined as breaking large orders or sales transactions into multiple individual transactions for the purpose of obtaining multiple discounts or payments), or otherwise gaming or defrauding the system. By participating in such promotions, you agree to be bound by the applicable rules and restrictions, and that LearnTeachWorld, in its sole discretion, may deny payment or benefits to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law (e.g., when it believes improper activity has occurred or when a code has expired). All promotions may expire at any time without notice to recipients. Discounts apply only toward the actual base product/service rental or purchase cost; they do not apply to taxes, shipping, extension or late fees, or any other additional fees (e.g., conversion to purchase fees).
Through the Services, you may purchase, as a separate product, a digital access code (DAC) to certain Digital Content. The DAC publishers allow only one user (one activation) of these codes.
LearnTeachWorld will ship your ordered DAC to you in sealed packaging. If the DAC packaging is opened, LearnTeachWorld must assume that the code is activated and therefore cannot be resold. Thus, you may not return a DAC with opened packaging for a refund.
Purchases through the Services may be subject to taxes in many states. Depending on your state and the nature of the product or service you receive from us, this may be a rental tax, sales tax and/or use tax. Tax rates are different from state to state. You are responsible for paying all such taxes.
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that supplemental materials (CDs and CD-ROMs, Workbooks, Study Guides) will be included with book rentals. However, they are available for purchase on select titles. If you receive your rental book with any of the above items, you are welcome to use it. We ask that you return your book complete with any supplemental materials you received.
All rentals remain the property of LearnTeachWorld, or third-party partners for physical text books, even while the item is in your possession. You may be given the option to purchase rented books from LearnTeachWorld or third-party partners, either at the end of a rental cycle or at any point during the rental cycle. If you wish to purchase a book you have rented through the Services, you may be able to do so by accessing your account on the Services and looking for the purchase option. In this case, title (ownership) transfers to you as soon as your method of payment is approved for purchase value. If you purchase the title through our purchase program, title (ownership) changes hands when we or our third-party partners provide the book to the shipping company. Certain digital products may not be available for purchase or may have different purchase terms, and you should review their specific terms prior to rental or purchase.
Payment for certain Services is due in advance of each applicable membership period (e.g., monthly or annually). MONTHLY AND ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS MAY AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AND YOUR CREDIT CARD OR OTHER PAYMENT METHOD WE HAVE ON FILE FOR YOU WILL BE CHARGED ON THE FIRST DAY OF EACH RENEWAL PERIOD UNTIL YOUR MEMBERSHIP IS TERMINATED BY US OR CANCELLED BY YOU. IF ANY OF OUR CHARGES ARE REJECTED FROM THE PAYMENT METHOD YOU HAVE INDICATED IS YOUR PREFERABLE PAYMENT METHOD, YOU AUTHORIZE US (WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU, UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW) TO, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION: (I) RETRY SUCH PAYMENT METHOD; AND/OR (II) COLLECT FROM ANY OTHER PAYMENT METHOD WE HAVE ON FILE FOR YOU. Also, for some of our paid Services, you may elect to temporarily "suspend" your membership, for example, during school breaks or vacation, for up to a total of 90 days in any one membership year (i.e., during each 12-month period following the commencement of your membership), and the period of your membership will be extended by the total amount of such suspended period(s). You agree to pay all applicable fees for your memberships and use of our paid Services, plus any applicable taxes or other charges as may be required, when due and payable. All fees and charges are payable in advance and non-refundable, including after cancellation, unless otherwise disclosed at the time of purchase. If you wish to cancel your membership in a Service (if available), please visit the customer support web area on the Services. Cancellation of memberships (if available) will take effect as detailed in the cancellation information for the specific Service you want to cancel.
We may from time to time offer free trials for some of our Services. Such trials may require you to register with a valid credit card to commence. Users that sign up for a free trial membership at a particular level will be automatically renewed at the promoted membership rate for that level at the end of the trial period unless the user cancels the membership at least before the end of the trial, unless the terms of the offer explicitly state otherwise. You can cancel a free trial online on the Services or by contacting LearnTeachWorld's customer support. After cancellation of a free trial, you may be able to continue as a Free Member with reduced benefits or access. Only one free trial membership is allowed per person. Subsequent registrations do not qualify for free trials. Unless the terms of a promotion state otherwise, for promotions that include "free" periods with "paid" periods, paid periods will elapse first. We may introduce new or additional features, services or materials to the Services which may be a part of, or priced separately from, existing levels of membership at our sole discretion.
We know that most of you have never and will never abuse the Services or any of the information, services or materials available through them. You agree to abide by our Honor Code.
You may not use any of the solutions, answers, materials or information available on or through the Services, to cheat.
Examples include:
1. Submitting any textbook solutions from the Services as your own to any class.
2. Using our questions and answers service to complete tests or homework when instructed not to use outside help.
3. Otherwise passing along any solutions, answers, materials or information from the Services as your own.
4. Any other violation of your instructor's or school's academic honor code.
We will take swift action against anyone found violating this Honor Code. If LearnTeachWorld is presented with evidence that its Services have been used in a manner contrary to its Honor Code or any other part of these Terms of Use, LearnTeachWorld may, in its sole discretion, remove the materials and terminate the account of the involved users.
As current and former students, the LearnTeachWorld team understands the pressures and time constraints school creates. That being said, we also know from the unfortunate tales of our peers that the risk you take by violating your school's code of academic integrity is not worth the reward. Copying solutions or posting unexplained final answers promotes completion without comprehension, and that's something we don't support on the Services.
We are always seeking opportunities to work with educators in making our Websites a valuable resource for both you and your classroom for years to come. If you need to contact us concerning an issue of academic integrity, please e-mail us at honorcode@learnteachworld.com
Unless otherwise stated in these Terms of Use, if any provision of the Terms of Use is declared invalid, illegal or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in full force and effect. The failure of LearnTeachWorld to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Use is not a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles of the Terms of Use are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Non-performance of either party, except for the failure to make required payments, will be excused to the extent performance is delayed or rendered impossible by any reason where failure to perform is beyond the reasonable control of the non-performing party. This "Miscellaneous" section shall survive any expiration or termination of your relationship with LearnTeachWorld.
LearnTeachWorld may modify the Terms of Use including the linked policies contained herein from time to time ("Updated Terms"). You agree that we may notify you of the Updated Terms by posting them on the LearnTeachWorld Website so that they are accessible via a link on the home page, and that your use of our Services after we have posted the Updated Terms (or engaging in such other conduct as we may reasonably specify), you agree to be bound by the then-current version of the Terms of Use, including any changes we may have made since the last time you used our Services. It is therefore important that you review the Terms of Use regularly to ensure you are aware of any such changes. The updated Terms of Use will be effective as of the time of posting, or such later date as may be specified in the updated Terms of Use, and will apply to your use of the Services from that point forward.
The then-current Terms of Use, including (a) any related policies and terms referenced in the Terms of Use and (b) any Additional Terms, are the entire agreement between you and LearnTeachWorld regarding the Services. The Terms of Use may not be modified without the consent of a duly authorized representative of LearnTeachWorld and will supersede and prevail over any terms or conditions you may include with any purchase order or other transaction document or communication with us, regardless of whether LearnTeachWorld signs them or fails to object to them. This "Entire Agreement" section shall survive any expiration or termination of your relationship with LearnTeachWorld.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the LearnTeachWorld Websites or Services, please write to us at https://www.LearnTeachWorld.com/contactus/ or at our offices located at 41730 Vaquero court, Fremont, CA 94539. All notices, authorizations, and requests to LearnTeachWorld shall be deemed given on receipt.
