Istation Terms of Use

Imagination Station, Inc. (“Istation”) welcomes you. The following Terms of Use and Service (these “Terms”) are important. Please read carefully.

Istation provides customers with a variety of resources, including, but not limited to, (i) one or more of Istation’s interactive educational-based applications (collectively the “Licensed Applications”), (ii) Istation’s Internet Web site (the “Web Site”), currently located at www.istation.com, (iii) account information regarding the Licensed Applications and the Web Site, (iv) materials and documentation (including, but not limited to, preprinted forms, form letters, resource materials, lesson plans, books, images of Istation characters, and so-called “Black Line Masters” coloring-book style pictures) available from the Web Site (collectively the “Downloadable Materials”), (v) reports, calculated results, scoring, graphs and any other materials derived from Istation’s algorithmic software features (collectively the “Scoring and Reporting Resources”), (vi) Processed Data, as defined hereinafter, and (vii) news and information about Istation, the Licensed Applications, and the Web Site. Any and all of the foregoing resources (including, but not limited to, the Licensed Applications, the Web Site, and the Downloadable Materials), together with any other resources made available by Istation, are collectively the “Resources”.

For purposes of these Terms, references to “You” or “Your” mean (i) you in your individual capacity, (ii) your company (“Your Company”), which may be a school or school district, and (iii) authorized users of Your Company, who are students, employees, representatives, and agents of Your Company that are registered with Istation and that have a valid security identification and password to access and use the Resources (collectively the “Authorized Users”).

Each of the Resources is provided to You conditioned on Your acceptance, without modification, of these Terms, which constitute a legally binding agreement between Istation and You. YOUR ACCESS OR USE OF ANY RESOURCE CONSTITUTES YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS FOR ALL RESOURCES. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE ANY RESOURCE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, THESE TERMS SHALL BE BINDING ON YOU UPON THE EARLIER TO OCCUR OF (i) YOUR EXECUTION OF THESE TERMS, (ii) THE DATE THAT YOU DOWNLOAD ANY LICENSED APPLICATION OR DOWNLOADABLE MATERIAL FROM Istation, (iii) THE DATE OF DELIVERY OF ANY LICENSED APPLICATION OR DOWNLOADABLE MATERIAL BY Istation TO YOU, AND (iv) THE DATE ON WHICH YOU ACCESS OR USE ANY OF THE RESOURCES THROUGH THE WEB SITE.

1. Changes to Terms. Istation may, from time to time and at Istation’s sole discretion, modify these Terms without individual notice to You. So long as the Web Site remains operational, the current version of these Terms will be posted on the Web Site, which You can review by clicking on the “Terms of Use” link located on the Web Site. The modified Terms will be effective immediately upon posting on the Web Site. You agree to the new posted Terms by continuing Your use of the Resources. You agree to review the Terms periodically on the Web Site. If You do not agree with the modified Terms posted on the Web Site, Your only remedy is to discontinue using the Resources.
2. Privacy Statement. Istation’s Privacy Statement (the “Privacy Statement”) is incorporated into, and made a part of, these Terms. The Privacy Statement relates to Istation’s collection and use of Your personal information. You consent to the terms and conditions of the Privacy Statement.
3. Subscription.
   1. Most (if not all) of the Resources require You to purchase a subscription from Istation before You may use or access them (a “Subscription”). You may purchase a Subscription to one or more Resources (the “Purchased Resources”) by paying the then-current subscription fee to Istation (the “Subscription Fee”) for such Purchased Resources, as such Subscription Fee is determined by Istation. Each Subscription Fee shall cover a specified period of time for the Purchased Resources (the “Subscription Period”). Upon expiration of the Subscription Period for a Purchased Resource, Your access and use of the Purchased Resources shall expire, and You shall no longer be entitled to access or use such Purchased Resources, unless You renew Your Subscription to such Purchased Resources by paying the then-current Subscription Fee for such Purchased Resources. Any Professional Development purchases including Onsite Training, Webinars, and Implementation services must also be used within the current Subscription Period and may not be rolled over into later Subscription Periods. Istation may, from time to time and at Istation’s sole discretion, modify the Subscription Fees for any and all Resources without individual notice to You.
   2. In the event You purchase a Subscription to a Purchased Resource, You will be required to register (the “Registration”) and obtain a user account (a “User Account”) for each Authorized User’s access to, and use of, such Purchased Resource provided, however, that each Purchased Resource may, as determined by Istation, (i) be limited to a maximum number of Authorized Users (such as students) and (ii) have other restrictions applicable to such Purchased Resource. During Registration for each and every Purchased Resource, You agree to submit accurate, current, and complete information about You (including, but not limited to, Your Company and the Authorized Users) and promptly update such information. Should Istation suspect that any such Registration information is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, Istation has the right to suspend or terminate use of any and all Resources and User Accounts. Upon Registration, each Authorized User will be assigned a personal, nontransferable password tied to a specific User Account. You are solely responsible for (i) any and all activities that occur under the User Accounts and (ii) ensuring that Authorized Users exit or log off from User Accounts at the end of each session of use. Users Accounts cannot be shared and may be used only by the Authorized User to whom the User Account is registered. User Accounts cannot be assigned to any third party vendors or other entities seeking to use the Purchased Resources for use in their products and/or for commercial use or monetary gain. You shall notify Istation immediately of any unauthorized use of the Authorized Users’ passwords or the User Accounts or any other breach of security that is known or suspected by You. Where the number of Authorized Users for a Purchased Resource falls below the maximum number permitted under Your Subscription for such Purchased Resource, You may designate other students as replacement Authorized Users with respect to such Purchased Resource. You are responsible for Registration of all Authorized Users and all acts and omissions (whether authorized or unauthorized) of the Authorized Users.

14. Disclaimer.
    1. In purchasing a Subscription to a Purchased Resource, You are being granted access to an interactive Resource for individualized instruction. Given the nature of the Resources, there are many factors outside the reasonable control of Istation that may affect the access to, and use of, the Resources and the Resource Materials, including, but not limited to, failures or difficulties with the Internet or data provided by You. You remain solely responsible for acting or deciding not to act on the results of data input into the Resources and the handling of such results.

THE LAW IS DIFFERENT FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION AND IS ALSO SUBJECT TO INTERPRETATION BY DIFFERENT COURTS AND OTHER GOVERNING BODIES. THE LAW IS A PERSONAL MATTER, AND NO GENERAL INFORMATION OR TOOLS LIKE THE RESOURCES OR THE RESOURCE MATERIALS CAN FIT EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE. FURTHERMORE, THE INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE WEB SITE AND IN THE RESOURCES AND RESOURCE MATERIALS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE AND IS NOT GUARANTEED TO BE CORRECT, COMPLETE, OR UP TO DATE.

Istation WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY AMOUNT, REGARDLESS OF THE BASIS OF THE CLAIM, EXCEEDING THE SUBSCRIPTION FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU. THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM WILL NOT EXPAND THESE LIMITS.

Failure of Istation to enforce any of the terms or conditions of these Terms, unless waived in writing, shall not constitute a waiver of Istation's right to enforce each and every term and condition of these Terms. To the extent You have entered into any separate license agreement with Istation for access to, or use of, a Resource (the “Additional Terms”), such Additional Terms are incorporated into these Terms by reference. To the extent there is any conflict between these Terms and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms shall control.
