Updated and Effective July 21st, 2022.
1. Introduction
AllCourse Inc. (“AllCourse,” “us,” or “we”) owns and operates the AllCourse® web and mobile-based platform (“AllCourse Platform” or “Platform”). The Platform helps teachers sell for-credit teaching services to school administrators, and for school administrators to find and solicit teachers to provide for-credit teaching services. By accessing or using the AllCourse Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (these “Terms”). You represent that you are lawfully able to enter into contracts and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you have agreed to these Terms on behalf of your organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS, OR IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY AUTHORITY, THEN YOU MAY NOT USE THE ALLCOURSE PLATFORM.
2. The Platform and Permitted Users
The AllCourse Platform is solely for use by teachers (“Teachers”), school administrators responsible for fulfilling curriculums (School Admins”), and the parents or guardians of Students (“Parents”). Only Teachers, School Admins, and Parents who agree to the Terms (each, a “User” or “you”) may use the AllCourse Platform. In general, Teachers will post course listings that represent live, web-based, for-credit courses on the Plaform, and School Admins and Parents will be able to purchase seats in those courses on behalf of their Students. School Admins will also post course proposals that represent gaps in their curriculums they wish to fill, and Teachers will be able to apply to teach those proposed courses. Users may access and use the Platform through mobile software applications (“Software”) made available by AllCourse, or through third party browsers or similar applications. You may only use the Platform for purposes permitted by these Terms and in compliance with all applicable laws.
3. Intellectual Property
By agreeing to these Terms, you have the limited right to use the Platform, subject to all of these Terms. These Terms do not transfer or convey any rights of ownership in or related to the AllCourse Platform, or intellectual property rights owned by AllCourse to you.

You must accept the EULAs for the Software before installing or using Software in connection with the Platform. The requirements and restrictions in these Terms apply to your use of Software for the purposes of the Platform regardless of whether such terms are included in the relevant EULA(s).

Certain services provided by AllCourse through the Platform are only available for a fee (“Paid Services”).

Also, you agree that: We may store and continue billing your payment method (e.g. credit card), to avoid interruptions in your Paid Services and to use to pay other Paid Services you may buy. If you purchase a subscription, your payment method automatically will be charged at the start of each subscription period for the fees and taxes applicable to that period. To avoid future charges, cancel before the renewal date. There are no refunds for Paid Services, but you may terminate your use of the Platform, and the Paid Services, at any time. We may calculate taxes payable by you based on the billing information that you provide us at the time of purchase. All fees exclude any taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and you are responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties. They will be assessed and added to the fees charged, as applicable. AllCourse uses a third-party payment processor to handle all payment transactions, and all monetary transactions made through your use of the Platform are subject to any fees and additional terms that the processor may impose as well.

If you are employed by a school or district subject to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”), you agree to appoint AllCourse as a “school official” as that term is defined in FERPA and as interpreted by the Family Policy Compliance Office, and determine that AllCourse has a “legitimate educational interest” for the purpose of delivering the Platform’s services in accordance with these Terms. AllCourse agrees that it will be bound by all relevant provisions of FERPA, including operating under the direct control of your school or district with respect to handling of “personally identifiable information” from “education records,” as those terms are defined in FERPA (together, “PII”).
