You acknowledge and agree that significant information is collected about any interaction with the Services, and You have read and approve of the Privacy Policy.
This Agreement applies to all visitors, users, and others who access or otherwise use the Service (“you” or “Users”), whether or not you are a registered user of our Service. If you open a 2HR Learning account on behalf of a School, group, organization, or other entity, then “you” includes you and that entity.
2HR Learning reserves the right to modify this Agreement so long as it provides notice of these changes to you as described below.
PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH TERM. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.
- 1. STUDENT DATA
The collection, processing and sharing of Student Data is governed by this Agreement and any applicable laws and regulations including, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”), the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and applicable state laws. “Student Data” is personal information that is directly related to an identifiable student and may include “educational records” as defined by FERPA, data subject to COPPA, as well as “sensitive” data as defined by applicable US state privacy laws.
Purchases may be made by schools, school districts, teachers and other educational instructors (collectively referred to as “Schools”). 2HR Learning may collect or access Student Data (defined below) from a School or by the School student, or another affiliated person. Student Data is typically confidential and not used for any purpose other than improving and providing our Services to the School or on the School’s instruction. It is solely the School or its representative’s responsibility to obtain the necessary and appropriate consent, where required by law, for 2HR Learning to use Student Data and for you to transfer Student Data to 2HR Learning for our use.
COPPA requires that online service providers obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13 in the United States. If you are a School providing the Service to children under 13, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to provide consent on behalf of parents or have received appropriate consent for 2HR Learning to collect and use information from students under 13 before allowing such students to access our Service. Use of the Services is conditioned upon Schools obtaining the proper parental and student consent, where necessary, for Schools to collect Student Data and to subsequently share that data with 2HR Learning for 2HR Learning’s use. 2HR Learning assumes no responsibility for failure to obtain proper and necessary consent. All Schools shall provide appropriate disclosures to students and parents and obtain appropriate consent regarding their use of 2HR Learning.
Where COPPA applies because a User is under 13, You are the parent or legal guardian, and the Services are not provided to a School in connection with the User, You acknowledge that you are aware of the parental/legal guardian and children’s rights under COPPA, and have informed yourself about 2HR Learning’s Student Data practices, including, without limitation, by reading the Privacy Policy. You expressly authorize the collection, use and disclosure of Student Data in accordance with this Agreement and the Privacy Policy. You expressly authorizes 2HR Learning to collect, use and disclose Student Data and other data about the User to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the Services. Such information is further described in the Privacy Policy, and includes, without limitation, name, address, email, academic data, admission information and other information as necessary or disclosed. The information authorized includes, without limitation: (i) browser history and screen data on computers used for educational activities for 2HR Learning; (ii) purchase history in connection with the redemption of rewards, through a debit card or otherwise; (iii) geolocation information; (iv) biometric identifiers, biometric information and other biometric data to study and improve learning; and (v) video recordings.

5. GENERAL ACCOUNT INFORMATION
Each account is provided for a term and price subject to certain renewal, cancellation, and other terms and conditions specific to the account (the “Account Terms”). The Account Terms are identified in order of precedence in the current quote, order or sales contract for the account, the selections made and account-specific terms disclosed when signing up for the account. Each account may have Account Terms in addition to or different from those as set forth in this Agreement, but only to the extent set forth in a signed writing by an authorized officer of 2HR Learning.

Quotes may be withdrawn by 2HR Learning at any time in its sole discretion. may include information that is proprietary and confidential to 2HR Learning and to the maximum extent permitted by law may not be disclosed to anyone other than their intended recipient. By requesting and/or accepting receipt of a Quote from 2HR Learning, you agree to keep such Quote confidential, and to not disclose such Quote to any third party, and to immediately return and/or destroy all Quote materials upon receiving a request to do so from 2HR Learning. To the extent that public records laws may apply to a Quote provided by 2HR Learning, you agree to immediately notify 2HR Learning of any public records request that may result in disclosure of an 2HR Learning Quote and provide 2HR Learning all reasonable opportunities to take steps to prevent such disclosure to the maximum extent permitted by law and will in connection therewith reasonably cooperate with 2HR Learning.
Payments: Fees. 2HR Learning will charge fees for purchases as communicated to You or the School through the Quote or Services, as well as transaction fees, and/ or the applicable taxes. The fees shall be automatically and immediately charged to the payment card (credit or debit) that 2HR Learning has on file upon acceptance or upon confirmation of purchase. You or the School will be fully responsible for all fees arising out of the use of the Services. In case, there is a short charging by 2HR Learning for Services or transaction fee or any other fee or costs because of a technical error or other reason, 2HR Learning reserves the right to deduct, charge or claim the balance subsequent to the transaction and notify you or the School, as applicable. Payment must be received by 2HR Learning no later than 30 days after 2HR Learning issues an invoice. If 2HR Learning does not receive payment within 30 days, the invoice is past due and 2HR Learning reserves the right to suspend access to the affected account(s) and take collection action. Suspension of an account does not relieve the account-holder of its obligation to pay for the account. 2HR Learning reserves the right to charge a late fee in the amount of 1% per month or the maximum permitted by law and its reasonable attorney’s fees in securing payment of past due amounts.
Cancellation: Except as set forth below or otherwise agreed by 2HR Learning in a signed writing, accounts may not be canceled until the end of the current term of the account.

2HR Learning permits early cancellations only in the following circumstances:
- In the event that the Service is permanently discontinued.
- 2HR Learning otherwise permits early cancellations only to the extent required by applicable law. In the event of such an early cancellation, the parties agree that the account-holder is responsible for all amounts due and payable before the date of early cancellation without pro-ration or to the greatest extent permitted by law. The parties agree that 2HR Learning’s efforts in selling, provisioning and providing an account are front-loaded and for that reason, pro-ration of fees in the event of early cancellation is not necessary or appropriate.
End of Subscription: When an account subscription ends (e.g., at the end of the term if the account has not been renewed or has been canceled), the account no longer permits access to the Service. However, 2HR Learning may, at its sole discretion, permit continued, limited access for users of the Account for a limited time after the conclusion of the term.

If you are a School or are using the Service for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Service for non-commercial purposes: (i) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (ii) the award rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney’s fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing 2HR Learning from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights.
