Description of Service

The WIZDM Service allows students to share ideas and participate in classes that they are interested in taking, and allows teachers and mentors to find students interested in taking their classes.

We reserve the right to refuse to provide the Service to any person for any reason and to discontinue the Service in whole or in part at any time, with or without prior notice.

If you translated and/or modified, in any manner, any of the material on the Service and/or related to the Service, including text, graphics, code and/or software, WIZDM shall have sole ownership of such modified and/or translated material and shall have the right to use such modified and/or translated material in any way it deems appropriate.

Any individual, entity, or group (“Holder”) that enters into any affiliation, partnership, relationship, or use of the Service which involves the use of Holder’s intellectual property, including but not limited to Holder’s logos, trademarks, copyrights, proprietary information, or indicia of identity (“Holder’s Intellectual Property”), in combination with the Service grants WIZDM a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual license to Holder’s Intellectual Property, with the right to sub-license, reproduce, distribute, transmit, create derivative works of, publicly display and publicly perform Holder’s Intellectual Property. Holder also grants to WIZDM the right to use Holder’s name in connection with the Service and other information as well as in connection with all advertising, marketing and promotional material related thereto. Holder agrees that it shall have no recourse against WIZDM for any alleged or actual infringement or misappropriation of any proprietary right in Holders Intellectual Property as related to its use in conjunction with the Service. Holder further represents and warrant that Holder owns or has the necessary licenses, rights, consents and permissions to Holder’s Intellectual Property (and all content included therein), including the right to authorize WIZDM to use Holder’s Intellectual Property in the manner contemplated by the Service and these Terms of Service. Holder further agrees that it shall be Holder’s sole responsibility to verify and/or confirm any information contained in Holder’s Intellectual Property prior to using it or relying on it, in connection with the Service.

You may not use any robots, spiders, or similar data mining, data gathering or extraction tools or manual processes to collect, gather or copy any content or data on or related to the Service in a manner not authorized by WIZDM in writing. You may not engage in practices of “screen scraping,” “database scraping” or any other practice or activity the purpose of which is to obtain lists of users, portions of a database, or other lists or information from the Service, in any manner and any quantities not authorized by WIZDM in writing. You may not frame or utilize framing techniques to enclose any trademark, logo or other proprietary information (including images, text, page layout or form) of WIZDM or its affiliates without express written consent. You may not use meta tags or any other “hidden text” utilizing the WIZDM name or trademarks without the express written consent of WIZDM.

Content submitted by users for inclusion on the Service (including, without limitation, any information submitted on message boards, forums or other public areas of the Service) is sometimes referred to in these Terms of Service as “User Submissions.” Whether or not any User Submission is published, it will be subject to these Terms of Service. WIZDM does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect to a User Submission, regardless of whether or not it is published. You are solely responsible for your own User Submissions and the consequences of posting or publishing them. You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents and permissions to your User Submissions (and all content included therein), including the right to authorize WIZDM to use the User Submissions in the manner contemplated by the Service and these Terms of Service.

In addition to User Submissions, the Service may be presented in such a way as to permit comments (“Comments”) with respect to certain content. You understand and agree that with respect to any Comments, the WIZDM does not control the Comments. The WIZDM cannot and will not evaluate, and shall not be responsible for, the accuracy, reliability, completeness, veracity or suitability of any Comments or for verifying the identity of anyone posting a Comment. Although the WIZDM will try to monitor Comments on the Service and flag and/or remove Comments which the WIZDM finds unsuitable (as determined in its sole and absolute discretion) the WIZDM shall be under no obligation to do so and shall have no liability to any party for failure to monitor or remove any Comments or User Submissions. Prior to being granted access to post Comments, individuals may be required to input or provide certain information, including (but not necessarily limited to) their name and/or email address which may be displayed in connection with their Comment; the WIZDM reserves the right to impose any additional restrictions or requirements with respect to Comments in its sole discretion.

You hereby grant to WIZDM a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual license, with the right to sub-license, to reproduce, distribute, transmit, create derivative works of, publicly display and publicly perform any User Submissions, Comments, or any other materials or information (including, without limitation, ideas for new or improved products or services) you communicate to WIZDM by all means and in any media now known or hereafter developed. You also grant to WIZDM the right to use your name in connection with the submitted materials and other information as well as in connection with all advertising, marketing and promotional material related thereto. You agree that you shall have no recourse against WIZDM for any alleged or actual infringement or misappropriation of any proprietary right in your communications to WIZDM. You further agree that it shall be your sole responsibility to verify and/or confirm any information contained in the User Submission prior to relying on it, in connection with which you assume all risk.

We neither endorse nor assume any liability or responsibility for the contents, accuracy, or legitimacy of any User Submission. We generally do not pre-screen, monitor, or edit User Submissions. However, we and our agents have the right at their sole discretion to remove any User Submission or other content that, in our judgment, does not comply with these Terms of Service and any other rules of user conduct for the Service, or is otherwise harmful, objectionable, or inaccurate. We are not responsible for any failure or delay in removing any such User Submission, Comment, or other content. You hereby consent to such removal and waive any claim against us arising out of such removal of any User Submission, Comment, or the like, whether it is your own or another user’s. See “Copyrights, Licenses, and User Submissions” above for a description of the procedures to be followed in the event that any party believes that a User Submission infringes on any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of publicity, or other proprietary rights of any party.

The Service may link to websites or services operated by third parties, and/or parties other than and, unaffiliated with WIZDM. Such links are provided for your convenience only. WIZDM does not control such third-party websites and is not responsible for any content thereon, including any comments posted on such third-party websites. WIZDM’s inclusion of links to such third-party websites does not amount to or imply any warranty or endorsement of the material on such sites or any association with their affiliates, owners, or operators. You agree that WIZDM is not responsible for any such third-party websites and services or any content thereon and you agree to hold WIZDM harmless from any and all claims or liability arising from your use of such third-party websites or services. Any concerns or questions related to third-party websites should be directed to the appropriate contact person for such third party.

WIZDM will not tolerate violations of intellectual property rights on the Service. If you are a copyright owner and believe that any User Submission, Comment, or other content infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). To provide WIZDM notice of an infringement, you must provide a written communication to the attention of “DMCA Infringement Notification Dept.” care of support@54.172.254.231 that sets forth the information specified by the DMCA, see www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html#512). The notification must include:  (i) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (ii) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site; (iii) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit WIZDM to locate the material; (iv) Information reasonably sufficient to permit WIZDM to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted; (v) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (vi) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. You may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you materially misrepresent that an activity is infringing your copyright.

Data Policy

When a student signs on, registers, enrolls, or takes a class or course on WIZDM, we may share the student’s username and profile with the teacher for the purpose of teaching these students on WIZDM.  For example, by enrolling in a class on WIZDM, a student grants to us permission to share that student’s information with the teacher. The teacher or mentor is required to respect the privacy of the student. The teacher has a limited license to use this information only for WIZDM-related communications or for WIZDM-facilitated transactions. The teacher or mentor may use that personal information for no other purpose, such as sending unsolicited commercial messages or unauthorized transactions. Remember that you need to comply with all relevant legal rules when you use WIZDM. This include applicable data protection and privacy laws which govern the ways in which you can use another WIZDM user’s information.

Please note that the WIZDM reserves the right to share any user data with any partner, school, movement, or organization to further the goals of the WIZDM.

Teaching or Participating in a Class

These Terms of Service and the Governing Documents are in addition to any agreements, releases or other documents (the “Class Agreements”) that a teacher and student may enter into in connection with a class, including any Class Agreements entered into through the Service. Students and teachers are each responsible to the other for complying with the terms of the Class Agreements, but WIZDM has no control over either party’s compliance. Among other things, WIZDM cannot control (a) the provisions of the Class Agreements, (b) the accuracy or legality of the Class Agreements or (c) any party’s performance of its obligations under the Class Agreements. Accordingly, WIZDM shall not be held responsible for any liability arising out of the Class Agreements or any actions that you may take in reliance thereon and is not a party to any transaction between you and any other user. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU HEREBY RELEASE WIZDM AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “WIZDM PARTIES”) FROM ANY CLAIMS OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED OR UNDISCLOSED, RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE RELATING TO THE CLASS AGREEMENTS OR ANY TRANSACTION OR ATTEMPTED TRANSACTION WITH ANOTHER USER OF THE SERVICE (WHETHER A STUDENT OR TEACHER). YOU AGREE AND UNDERSTAND AND INTEND THAT THIS ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RELEASE IS BINDING UPON YOU AND YOUR HEIRS, EXECUTORS, AGENTS, ADMINISTRATORS AND ASSIGNS.

Your teaching or participation in a class is at your sole risk. WIZDM does not supervise classes and is not involved in any way with the actions of any individuals (whether students or teachers) at any class. As a result, we have no control over the identity or actions of the individuals who are present at these classes, and we request that our users exercise caution and good judgment when participating in Classes. You acknowledge and agree that by participating in any class (whether as a student or teacher) you may be exposed to a variety of risks and hazards, which may or may not be foreseen, including (without limitation) personal injury, property damage and death. You are solely responsible for all costs and/or risks associated with your participation in any class. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU HEREBY RELEASE WIZDM AND EACH OF THE OTHER WIZDM PARTIES FROM ANY CLAIMS OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED OR UNDISCLOSED, RELATING TO YOUR PARTICIPATION IN ANY EVENT, WHETHER AS A STUDENT OR TEACHER. YOU AGREE AND UNDERSTAND AND INTEND THAT THIS ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RELEASE IS BINDING UPON YOU AND YOUR HEIRS, EXECUTORS, AGENTS, ADMINISTRATORS AND ASSIGNS.

If applicable, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, in relevant part: “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.”

Student-based User, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If
you believe that a child under 16 may have provided us Personal Data, please
contact us at support@wizdm.org.

Personal Data

When you register with us
and become a Social Impact Initiative participant, when you choose to teach or
attend a class, we will ask you for Personal Data. “Personal Data” refers to
information about you that can be used to contact or individually identify you.
This includes, but is not limited to, your name, email address, but does not
include your credit card number or billing information. To the extent
applicable, transactions involving your billing and payment information are
processed by PayPal and Stripe and
are subject to their privacy policies. We do not store any of the credit card
or banking information that you provide to these payment processors.

In order to send you
email from Social Impact Initiative, we need your email address. To provide you
with additional services, we may also request your name, general location, and
telephone number. We may give some or all of this information to the teachers
for classes that you sign up for so that they can coordinate their classes. We
will not give your name, email, or other Personal Data to unaffiliated third
parties except with your consent or as otherwise set forth in this privacy
policy. Though we employ industry standard measures to preserve user privacy,
we may need to disclose Personal Data when required by law or when we have a
good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current
judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process that we receive or to
protect our interests or the safety of others. In addition, we may provide
Personal Data to employees, consultants or other business or persons for the
purpose of processing such information on our behalf. In such circumstances, we
require that these parties agree to protect the confidentiality of such
information and to comply with the terms of this Privacy Policy. We may use
your Personal Data to operate, improve, understand and personalize our
Service. Further, the Social Impact Initiative reserves the right to share
any user data, including Personal Data, with any Qualifying Institution,
partner, school, movement, or organization to further the goals of the Social
Impact Initiative.  

Voluntary Disclosure

Any Personal Data or
content that you voluntarily disclose in public areas becomes publicly
available and can be collected and used by other users for any reason. Your
profile pages (“Profile”) and any online classrooms you participate in are
typically publicly available. You have the ability to change your account
settings to limit access to your profile, and may delete content you post to
public classrooms. If you need assistance with controlling your account privacy
settings or with deleting content, please contact us at support@wizdm.org.
Removal of posted content does not ensure complete or comprehensive removal of
the content or information (e.g., some content may be “invisible” to other
users but remain on our servers in some form). You should exercise caution
before disclosing your Personal Data via these or any other public venues.

For example, if you
choose to sign up for a Social Impact Initiative account, you may have a
Profile on the Service, containing your full name and some basic information
including your location and bio. You may also add additional optional
information to your Profile. You may control what type of Profile information
is shown to others through your Account Settings. Any information you choose to
provide as part of your Profile should reflect how much you want other Social
Impact Initiative users to know about you. We recommend that you guard your
anonymity and sensitive information and we encourage members to think carefully
about what information about themselves they disclose in their profile pages.
You can review and revise your profile information at any time.

Children’s Privacy

As noted in our Terms of
Service, you must be 13 years of age or older to use the Service. If you are
under 16 you may not use the Service without parental consent. We do not
knowingly collect or solicit Personal Data from anyone under the age of 16,
unless you are a Student-based User. If you are under 16, please do not attempt
to register for the Service or send any Personal Data about yourself to us
unless you are a Student-based User. If we learn that we have collected
Personal Data from a child under age 16 who is not a Student-based User, we
will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a
child under 16 may have provided us Personal Data, please contact us at support@wizdm.org.

Information About Cookies

We use your IP address to
help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our Service, and to
analyze traffic patterns on the Service. The Service also uses cookies and
similar technologies such as pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, and
JavaScript (collectively, “Cookies”) to enable our servers to recognize
your web browser and tell us how and when you visit and use our Service, to
analyze trends, learn about our user base and operate and improve our Service.
For example, we use Cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, to
save your password so you don’t have to re-enter it each time you visit, and to
track whether emails we send you have been viewed. Cookies are small files –
usually consisting of letters and numbers – placed on your computer, tablet,
phone, or similar device when you use that device to visit our Service. We
sometimes combine information collected through Cookies that is not Personal
Data with Personal Data that we have about you, for example, to tell us who you
are or whether you have an account with us. We may also supplement the
information we collect from you with information received from third parties.

Cookies can either
be “session Cookies” or “persistent Cookies”. Session Cookies are
temporary Cookies that are stored on your device while you are visiting our
Service or using our Service, whereas “persistent Cookies” are stored on
your device for a period of time after you leave our Service. The length of
time a persistent Cookie stays on your device varies from Cookie to Cookie. We
use persistent Cookies to store your preferences so that they are available for
the next visit, and to keep a more accurate account of how often you visit our
Service, how often you return, how your use of the Service may vary over time.
We also use persistent Cookies to measure the effectiveness of advertising
efforts. Through these Cookies, we may collect information about your online
activity after you leave our Service. Your browser may offer you a “Do Not
Track” or “DNT” option, which allows you to signal to operators of
websites, and web applications, and services that you do not wish such
operators to track certain of your online activities over time and across
different websites.

Some Cookies are placed
by a third party on your device and may provide information to us and third
parties about your browsing habits (such as your visits to our Service, the
pages you have visited and the links and advertisements you have clicked).
These Cookies can be used to determine whether certain third party services are
being used, to identify your interests, to retarget advertisements to you and
to serve advertisements to you that we or others believe are relevant to you.
We do not control third party Cookies.

We use the following
types of Cookies:

• Essential
  Cookies. Essential Cookies are required for providing you with features or
  services that you have requested. For example, certain Cookies enable you
  to log into secure areas of our Service. Disabling these Cookies may make
  certain features and services unavailable.
• Functionality
  Cookies. Functional Cookies are used to record your choices and settings
  regarding our Service, maintain your preferences over time and recognize
  you when you return to our Service. These Cookies help us to personalize
  our content for you, greet you by name, and remember your preferences (for
  example, your choice of language or region).
• Performance/Analytical
  Cookies. Performance/Analytical Cookies allow us to understand how
  visitors use our Service such as by collecting information about the daily
  number of visitors to the Service, the daily requests we receive for
  particular files on the Service, and what geographical areas those
  requests come from. These aggregated statistics are used internally to
  better provide services to the public and may also be provided to others.
  Performance/Analytical Cookies also help us measure the performance of our
  advertising campaigns in order to help us improve our campaigns and the
  Service’s content for those who engage with our advertising. For example,
  Google, Inc. (“Google”) uses cookies in connection with its Google
  Analytics services. Google’s ability to use and share information
  collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Service is subject
  to the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. You
  have the option to opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting the
  Google advertising opt-out page at https://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html or
  the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

You can decide whether or
not to accept Cookies. One way you can do this is through your internet
browser’s settings. Most browsers have an option for turning off the Cookie
feature, which will prevent your browser from accepting new Cookies, as well as
(depending on the sophistication of your browser software) allow you to decide
on acceptance of each new Cookie in a variety of ways. You can also delete all
Cookies that are already on your computer. If you do this, however, you may
have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some
service and functionalities may not work.

To explore what Cookie
setting are available to you, look in the “preferences” or “options” section of
your browser’s menu. To find our more information about Cookies, including
information about how to manage and delete Cookies, please visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/.

Third Party Advertising

We may use third party
providers, including Facebook and Google AdWords, to advertise the Service
across the internet. These providers may use cookies, web beacons, and other
storage technologies to collect or receive information from the Service and
elsewhere on the internet and use that information to provide measurement
services and display targeted ads to you. 

A cookie is used to
indicate to other websites that you visited a particular page, and allows us to
tailor our marketing to better suit your needs and only display ads that are
relevant to you. This cookie does not in any way give access to your computer
or mobile device.

If you do not wish to see
ads from us, you can opt out in several ways:

• Opt
  out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting Google’s Ads
  Settings.
• Opt
  out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

Other Sites

The Service may contain
links to other websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy
practices or the content of such websites or services, and you should review
the privacy policy of each such website or service to make sure that you are
comfortable with it before providing any Personal Data. For example, all
teacher payments for classes are processed through third party payment
processors. As discussed above, we do not receive any of the credit card
information you provide to our third party payment processors, and all such
information is subject to their privacy policies.

Teachers and Mentors

As discussed above, we
may give your Personal Data to the teachers and Mentors for classes
(“Teachers”) that you sign up for so that they can coordinate their classes. As
part of our Terms of Use, Social Impact Initiative Teachers agree not to abuse
other users’ Personal Data. Abuse is defined as using Personal Data for any
purpose other than those explicitly specified in the Teachers’ Class. However,
please understand that Social Impact Initiative Teachers are not our employees
or consultants and that we are not party to any transaction between you and the
Teacher. As a result, we cannot control their actions and cannot be held liable
for any actions that they may take.

Business Transfers

In the event that we are
acquired by or merged with a third party entity, we reserve the right to
transfer or assign the information we have collected from users, including
without limitation Personal Data, as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or
other change of control. In the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors’ rights
generally, we may not be able to control how your Personal Data is treated,
transferred, or used.

Transfers to the United
States

The Service is hosted in
the United States. If you are accessing the Service from the European Union,

Data to the United States and you consent to that transfer.
