Zeacu sells access to the Service for each
knowledge area for a given subscriber associated with a parent account. Each subscriber
is provided access to the Service for a monthly or annual subscription fee to one or more
knowledge areas for a term and price subject to certain renewal, cancellation,
and other terms and conditions specific to the account (the " Subscription
Terms"). The Subscription Terms are identified in the then-current quote for
the account displayed when a Parent account starts or authorizes a free trial
or resumes a knowledge area subscription for a subscriber associated with their
account.
Zeacu provides a variety of
"account types" which may apply depending on how your account is
created:
Parent Account : A parent account is
purchased by or for a parent or a legal guardian. Parent accounts are only
available for purchase through the Zeacu website using a credit card. A parent
account typically includes registering one or more child(ren) on a Subscriber Account that can
be used by the parent's child at the parent's direction. Parent account generally
do not expire. See below for more information about automatic renewal and
cancellation of subscriptions for knowledge areas for each child or
Subscriber account associated with a Parent account.
Subscriber Account : A subscriber
account allows a child to register to use our Service and must be associated
with their Parent or Legal guardian account. Subscriber accounts must obtain their
parent or legal guardian consent prior to using the Service. Subscriber
accounts are generally registered individually through the Zeacu website or during
registration of a Parent account. A Subscriber account is typically active
during a free trial period for a knowledge area or as long as the subscription fees associated
with that knowledge area are paid by the Parent in advance. Subscribers
can register and need consent from their parent or legal guardian to access one or more
knowledge areas and provided by the Service.
Grandparent Account : A grandparent account is typically purchased by a grandparent and is associated with one or more Subscriber accounts. Each Grandparent account must obtain consent and authorization from the Parent or Legal guardian account associated with the child or Subscriber account.
Content Provider Account : A content provider account allows an adult with educator credentials to register to use our Service. A content provider account is used to create academic content for children at different grade levels and different age groups, including children under age 13. By agreeing to register under a Content Provider account, you represent that you are familiar with, and understand the U.S. Children's Online Privacy and Protection Act ("COPPA") requirements, other country specific laws and state and local laws related to content creation for children under age 13. You represent and warrant to follow content creation guidelines set forth under COPPA, and other country, state and local laws related to content creation for children under age 13. Content Provider accounts are generally registered individually through the Zeacu website. A content provider account is used to (a) provide us original, exclusive academic content for a given knowledge area for a fee, and to (b) validate content using a peer review process for a fee. A content provider account is required to execute an additional, separate agreement with Zeacu prior to creating or validating content using the Service.

allows you to publish your writings in the form of blog posts for our community of users. You agree to
use our blog to publish articles, thoughts and opinions on topics that will

discretion.
Visitors and registered users may read blogs without any fee.
Zeacu facilitates creating and offering rewards as incentives to children under age 18. Such rewards include a variety of
"reward types" which may apply depending on what rewards a Parent Account links to their associated Subscriber Accounts during creation of learning goals:
Giftcards : Rewards for your child may include a Gift Card, a non-profit donation,
or other digital or physical product. Current products include,
(a) Digital Merchant Gift Cards: Digital Merchant Gift Cards redemption code and instructions
will be displayed after your purchase the Gift Card. Recipients of digital gift cards receive a link or code, online or via e-mail, to retrieve their
activated electronic Merchant Gift Cards. Redemption instructions for digital gift cards contain instructions
as provided by the Merchant to redeem the value of the Gift card. Zeacu has no control over or involvement with Digital Merchant Gift Cards.
(b) Physical Merchant Gift Cards: Physical Merchant Gift Cards and their redemption instructions
will either (i) be delivered to you via mail, or (ii) be printable from an electronic message sent to you,
or (iii) displayed after you purchase the Gift card. Zeacu has no control over or involvement with Physical Merchant Gift Cards.
(c) Prepaid Cards are those products that contain stored value that can be used anywhere,
without restriction to a specific retailer or website, such as VISA and MasterCard. You may be required to
register with a third party (the company that supplies the prepaid card) in order to use the stored value
and to enable the third party supplier to comply with certain financial and banking regulations.
Zeacu has no control over or involvement with these matters.
Zeacu offers various incentives for referring your friends by sending email or sms invitations from within our Service. Any registered Parent, Subscriber or Content Provider is eligible for referral rewards when their referral points earned exceeds the referral reward threshold. Referral points get earned for referring new Users to our Service that subsequently register as newly registered parents, subscriber and content provider accounts. When multiple users refer a common friend, the first referring User is eligible for the referral reward, provided the referred friend(s) register on Zeacu within a week of receiving your invitation. There are no limitations on how many friends you can refer. Zeacu offers a variety of referral rewards and incentives based on the number of Users you refer that subsequently register on Zeacu. Zeacu reserves the right to discontinue any referral reward and/or modify the Referral thresholds at any time, based on our sole discretion. Zeacu will undertake best efforts to fulfill your referral incentives as they are made available to us from our vendors. If a referral reward or incentive is unavailable for any reason, Zeacu will offer you alternatives, based on our sole discretion. Zeacu reserves the right to alter any existing rule(s) of, and/or create any new rule(s) for the referral rewards program at any time based on our sole discretion.
Any pricing provided by Zeacu is valid only for a limited time and is effective only with the agreement of the relevant parties. Zeacu reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to withdraw or revise prices for the Service.
Parent accounts have the option to make payment using valid credit card. Payment must be received by Zeacu no later than 7 days after Zeacu issues an invoice or charges the parent's credit card through our payment provider. If Zeacu does not receive payment within 7 days, the invoice is past due and Zeacu 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. Zeacu 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.
Monthly subscriptions for a knowledge
area for a Subscriber renew automatically after a free trial period. Except
as set forth below or otherwise agreed by Zeacu in signed writing, accounts canceled
prior to the end of the current month of the account will not be offered a
reimbursement based on a prorated monthly subscription fee. The parties agree
that Zeacu's efforts in selling, provisioning and
providing an account are front-loaded and for that reason, proration of fees
in the event of early cancellation is not necessary or appropriate.
When a Subscriber's monthly subscription to a knowledge area is canceled, the account is no longer permitted access to the Service associated with that knowledge area for said Subscriber, effective immediately. Once the subscription ends for a knowledge area, Zeacu may delete data relating to an account in accordance with this Agreement and the Privacy Policy. It is the account-holder's sole responsibility to request resumption of subscriptions to knowledge area that were canceled by the Parent to maintain continued access to the account and its associated data.
Annual subscriptions for a knowledge
area for a Subscriber renew automatically after a free trial period. Except
as set forth below or otherwise agreed by Zeacu in signed writing, accounts canceled
after the start of the 10th month of the contract year of the account will not be offered a
reimbursement based on a prorated subscription fee. The parties agree
that Zeacu's efforts in selling, provisioning and
providing an account are front-loaded and for that reason, Zeacu allows only one
cancellation per calendar year for a given knowledge area for a subscriber.
Zeacu will refund the remainder of the annual subscription fee only when the cancellation occurs prior to the start of the 10th
month of the contract year of the account, and on a prorated basis. The parties agree
that Zeacu's efforts in selling, provisioning and
providing an account are front-loaded and for that reason, proration and refunding of the annual subscription fee
in this manner is fair and appropriate. Zeacu reserves the right to cancel
any refunds if it is determined, in its sole discretion, that you have violated this Agreement.
When a Subscriber's annual subscription to a knowledge area is canceled, the account is no longer permitted access to the Service associated with that knowledge area for said Subscriber, effective immediately. Once the subscription ends for a knowledge area, Zeacu may delete data relating to an account in accordance with this Agreement and the Privacy Policy. It is the account-holder's sole responsibility to request resumption of subscriptions to knowledge area that were canceled by the Parent to maintain continued access to the account and its associated data.
SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL FEES WILL
BE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED TO YOUR CARD ON FILE EACH SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD (MONTHLY OR ANNUAL),
UNTIL YOU CANCEL.
By starting your Zeacu monthly or annual
subscription for your child(ren) for a knowledge area, you are expressly
agreeing that we are authorized to charge you the monthly or annual subscription fee at
the end of a free trial period. We will automatically renew your subscription each
monthly or annual anniversary of your subscription date, and as authorized by you by
checking the box demonstrating your consent for automatic renewals of
your subscription, we will charge your then-current payment method (or to a
different payment method if you change your account information) associated
with your account with the applicable then-current fee and any sales or similar
taxes that may be imposed. Please note that prices and charges are subject to
change with notice. As used in this Agreement, "billing" shall
indicate either a charge or debit, as applicable, against your payment method.
You acknowledge that the amount billed
each billing period may vary for reasons that include differing amounts due to
changes in your subscription plan, and you authorize us to charge your payment
method for such varying amounts. Payments are nonrefundable, except as noted above
for annual subscriptions, and there are no
refunds or credits for partially used periods. We may change the fees and
charges in effect, or add new fees and charges from time to time, but we will
give you notice of these changes. If you want to use a different payment method
or if there is a change in payment method, such as your credit card validity or
expiration date, you may edit your payment method information from your Subscriptions
page. To access your Subscriptions page, sign in to your Zeacu account, click on the
Subscriptions menu in the left-hand-toolbar. If your payment method reaches its
expiration date and you do not edit your payment method information or cancel
your account, you authorize us to
continue billing to that payment method and you remain responsible for any
uncollected amounts.
You must cancel your subscription before
it renews each billing period to avoid billing of the next subscription fee to
your payment method. The subscription fee will be billed at the beginning of the
paying portion of your subscription and each period thereafter (monthly or annual) unless and until
you cancel your subscription. We automatically bill your payment method each
month on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your paying subscriptions.
Subscription fees are fully earned upon payment.
You may cancel your subscriptions at
any time, and cancellation will be effective immediately. We do not provide
refunds or credits for any partially used subscription periods, except as noted
above for annual subscriptions. To cancel your subscriptions,
sign in to your Zeacu account, visit the 'Manage Subscriptions' subsection under the Subscriptions
page and click the words "Cancel" under your child(ren) knowledge
area subscription you wish to cancel.

This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State
of New Jersey, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties
acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate
commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive
law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be
governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. 1-16). This Agreement is a
contract for the provision of services and not a contract for the sale of
goods. The provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), the Uniform
Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA), or any substantially similar
legislation as may be enacted, shall not apply to this Agreement. If you are
located outside of the territory of the United States, the parties agree that
the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods
shall not govern this Agreement or the rights and obligations of the parties
under this Agreement.
You agree to submit to the personal
jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in New Jersey for any
actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable
relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened
infringement, misappropriation or violation of our copyrights, trademarks,
trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights,
including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You
agree that New Jersey is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration
award or for trial court proceedings if the arbitration provision below is
found to be unenforceable.
Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing Zeacu 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.
WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, ALL CLAIMS MUST
BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS
MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY
GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS
ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE
MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING
INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO
PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL
ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.
This Agreement, together with any
amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into
with Zeacu relating to the Service, shall constitute the entire
agreement between you and Zeacu and govern your use of the Service, superseding
any prior agreements between you and Zeacu. This Agreement may only be
superseded by a signed, notarized writing executed by an officer of Zeacu. The
failure of Zeacu to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this
Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any
provision of the Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give
effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other
provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect. Except for actions
for nonpayment or breach of a party's proprietary rights, no action, regardless
of form, arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be brought by either
party more than one (1) year after the cause of action has accrued.
The section titles in this Agreement have no legal or contractual effect.
