Digital Products Terms of Service

Last updated: March 22, 2024

General Terms

Scope. These Digital Products Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your relationship with the FUN HUB^®, the Digital WADE, or any other digital products (collectively, the “Services”) operated by Wilson Language Training Corporation (“WLT,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), if you have purchased access to the Services from us. For the avoidance of doubt, these Terms apply to any purchase of digital products (including FUN HUB) as a standalone product, and they also apply with respect to any bundled kit purchases which you have purchased that includes access to digital products or content as part of the bundle (a “Bundle”). If you have purchased professional-learning services from us, our Professional Learning Terms of Service will govern our provision of those professional services, and those terms are available here: https://www.wilsonlanguage.com/professional-learning-terms-of-service/.

Territory. Please note that FUN HUB® is intended for use only in the United States and Canada (excluding Quebec) currently. If you have purchased a FUN HUB license and you, your users, or your students are located outside of the United States or Canada (and including in Quebec) please email info@wilsonlanguage.com.

Terms of Service. Please read these Terms carefully before using the Services. Your right to access and use the Services is based on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Services. By accessing or using the Services you agree, on behalf of yourself and your organization, to be bound by these Terms, except as otherwise expressly agreed upon by the parties in an Agreement. If you and WLT have both signed an agreement for the Services (“Agreement”), then in the event of a direct conflict between these Terms and the Agreement, the Agreement will prevail. Otherwise, if you do not agree to these Terms, in whole or in part, please do not use the Service.

Organizations. We offer the Services to our customers who are individual educators, as well as to organizational clients. As used in these Terms, “you” refers to the authorized individual accessing the Services. In instances where you are purchasing the Services on behalf of a school, district, local education agency, state agency, or other entity (each, an “organization”), “you” refers to such organization and its authorized users. If you are an organization, you are responsible for ensuring all users comply with these Terms.

Subscription and Payment

Billing. You will be billed in advance at the time you place your order. Access to the Services is billed on a subscription basis (the “Subscription”). A valid payment method, which could include a credit card, is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You will provide us with accurate and complete billing information and valid payment information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize us to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instrument. For FUN HUB, the Subscription Term is defined below. For any other Services, such as VIS or Win Prin, access to the Services is provided for a one-year period that spans from July 1st until June 30th of the following year, except as otherwise stated or agreed to by the parties (“Subscription Term”).

Subscription Term. If you purchase a license to Digital Products between January 1st and June 30th of a given year, access to such Digital Products is provided for a one-year period that spans from the upcoming July 1st until June 30th, except as otherwise stated or agreed to by the parties (as renewed or extended, the “Subscription Term”). If you purchase a license between July 1st and December 31st of a given year, the Subscription Term instead commences on the date that you make payment and continues until July 1st, and as renewed or extended. Payments for subscription terms are not prorated.

Fundations Classroom Kits & Student Success Bundles. For each purchase of a Fundations® Classroom Kit or each standalone purchase of a FUN HUB license, a Subscription is provided for one educator for the Subscription Term. For each year that you purchase a Student Success Bundle, you also will be granted a license for one educator to access FUN HUB®, for the applicable year identified in your accepted price quote, from July 1st to June 30th of that year (the “Subscription Term”).

Cancellation. All payments are nonrefundable and noncancellable. No refunds or credits will be issued for partial periods of service, upgrade/downgrade refunds, or refunds for service periods unused with an open account. Substitution of a subscribed user during the Subscription Term will be allowed only through and in accordance with a process as determined by WLT.

Taxes. Fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by tax authorities, and you shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties. You agree to pay for any such taxes that might apply to your use of the Services and payments made by you.

Price Changes. Prices of the Services, including but not limited to the annual Subscription fees to the Services, are subject to change at WLT’s sole discretion. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Subscription Term. Your continued use of the Services after the Subscription fee change is in effect, constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.

Content and Intellectual Property of WLT

Grant of License. Subject to your compliance with these Terms (and, as applicable, the Agreement), WLT hereby grants you the following non-exclusive, limited, non-sublicensable, non-commercial right to use, during the Subscription Term, the Services for your personal educational use only, for the quantity of users identified in the price quote, the order confirmation from your order placed in the online store, invoice, and/or Agreement, as applicable.

Proprietary Rights. Digital Products, including FUN HUB, and all related resources and content, including videos, manuals, worksheets, guidance, and activities (collectively, “Materials”) on or within the Digital Products, is proprietary content of WLT. The Services and all Materials, including but not limited to text, images, videos, graphics, or code, are the property of WLT and are protected by copyright, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights. All rights not specifically granted in these Terms are fully reserved by WLT. The Materials are to be used exclusively by you and your students, and you agree not to distribute the Materials to other teachers or third parties, modify or create derivative works, or sell the Materials at any time. You agree to not distribute or make available to students any teacher’s guide materials. For FUN HUB and related Materials, you further agree not to share your credentials with other persons, use such Digital Products or Materials for commercial purposes, or use the Digital Products or Materials to train others. You may not input the Materials or any portion thereof into an artificial intelligence service, such as a generative AI tool. These Terms do not grant you a license to use any trademark of WLT or its affiliates. You further agree not to change or delete any proprietary notices from the Downloadable Materials.

We may provide no-cost updates to the Digital Products and Materials from time to time at our sole discretion. However, you do not have any right to receive or use any new feature, functionality, module or product that we may, in our sole discretion, release from time to time to all customers for purchase for an additional fee. We reserve the right to modify the Digital Products from time to time at our sole discretion.

Downloadable Materials. Some of the Materials are made available by WLT for download (the “Downloadable Materials”). Subject to your compliance with these Terms, WLT grants you permission, during the Subscription Term, to use the Downloadable Materials and share them with your students and their home support teams through a password-protected learning-management platform (such as Google Classroom) or alternative secure method. This permission does not include the right to otherwise post the Downloadable Materials online or to distribute them through social media platforms.

Data Security & Privacy

Data Security. We deploy security precautions that are intended to help maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data stored by us, including use of firewalls, encryption, authentication technologies, and background screening of employees who will have access to your data. However, the internet is not perfectly secure, and we are not responsible for security incidents that are not reasonably foreseeable or reasonably within our control.

Privacy. Your use of the Services must comply with all local, state, and federal privacy laws, including but not limited to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). If your use is subject to FERPA, by accessing the Services, you thereby appoint us as a “school official” as that term is used in FERPA, and you have determined that we have a “legitimate educational interest” for the purpose of carrying out our responsibilities under these Terms. You represent and warrant that you have the right to provide WLT with any student data you provide (the “Customer Data”). You hold all right, title, and interest in and to such Customer Data. You hereby grant WLT a royalty-free license to the Customer Data during the Subscription Term for the purpose of providing you with the Services and supporting that access. In addition, you grant WLT a royalty-free, perpetual license to use your Customer Data in a de-identified format for product development and research purposes, consistent with FERPA. WLT will not attempt to re-identify such de-identified data and will ensure that any third party that receives access to the de-identified data agrees to not attempt to re-identify it. WLT shall be bound by the relevant provisions of FERPA, including that it will remain under the “direct control” of Customer with respect to its use and maintenance of “education records” as that term is defined in FERPA.

For a more detailed description of our privacy practices that apply to our collection and use of personally identifiable information through our Digital Products, please review our Digital Products Privacy Policy, available at https://www.wilsonlanguage.com/digital-products-privacy-statement/.

The Services may contain or users may include links to other websites or resources. You acknowledge and agree that WLT is not responsible or liable for (i) the availability or accuracy of third-party sites or resources; or (ii) the content of such sites or resources. The inclusion of any link to a third-party site does not imply that WLT endorses the linked site. You use any such links and other websites at your own risk. We strongly advise you to read the terms and conditions and privacy policies of any websites or services that you visit, including the terms and conditions of other WLT websites.

Termination

If you wish to terminate your account, you may simply discontinue using the Services. We may terminate or suspend access to the Services immediately, without prior notice or liability, if you breach these Terms, including for failure to timely make payment when due. Upon termination by either party, your right to use the Services will immediately cease. All provisions of the Terms will survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability.

Limitation of Liability; Disclaimer of Warranties

WLT, and its directors, employees, partners, agents, suppliers, and affiliates, will not be liable for any loss or damage, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation, economic loss, loss or damage to electronic media or data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, whether or not we have been informed of the possibility of such damage, and even if a remedy set forth herein is found to have failed in its essential purpose. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WLT’S TOTAL LIABILITY CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE, THE FEES PAID WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SERVICES DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT THAT GAVE RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY.

WLT MAKES NO GUARANTEES, REPRESENTATIONS, OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND REGARDING THE SERVICES. ANY PURPORTEDLY APPLICABLE WARRANTIES, TERMS, AND CONDITIONS ARE EXCLUDED, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

WLT WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PURPORTED BREACH OF THESE TERMS CAUSED BY CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND ITS CONTROL. A PERSON WHO IS NOT A PARTY TO THESE TERMS WILL HAVE NO RIGHTS OF ENFORCEMENT.

As set out above, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the limitations above may not apply to you.

Choice of Law

These Terms and any action related thereto shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United States, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof. WLT and you submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Massachusetts for the purpose of any such action. You may not assign, sublicense, or otherwise transfer any of your rights under these terms.

These Terms (and if applicable, the Agreement) constitute the entire agreement between WLT and you regarding the Services, and supersede and replace any prior agreements, oral or otherwise, regarding the Services. No terms, provisions, or conditions of any sales order, purchase order, acknowledgement, or other business form that either party may use in connection with the transactions contemplated by these Terms will have any effect on the rights or obligations of the parties or otherwise modify the Terms, regardless of any failure of a receiving party to object to these terms, provisions, or conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when you register for a Wilson event, training, or conference, there are additional event-specific requirements and conditions that you must agree to for attending those events, which are not superseded or replaced by these Terms.

Use by Federal Government

The Services, Materials and related documentation have been developed entirely with private funds and constitute commercial off the shelf (“COTS”) items, as that term is defined in the relevant acquisition regulations for the U.S. Government. If acquired by or on behalf of the U.S. Government, the Services, Materials, and related documentation is acquired as commercial computer software and/or commercial computer software documentation and is fully subject to the Terms.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. When we make any changes, we will alert you by posting an updated version of these Terms on our website and updating the “Last Updated” date above. Changes will become effective when posted.
