• Paid Transactions

 

 

1. Digital Content:   We may make certain digital content available on our site to you for a one-time fee.  Your purchase of a digital item is a payment for a limited, non-assignable license to access and use such content as intended by Sing Into Reading with no right to reproduce, distribute, share, or make such content publicly available. 

 

1. Subscriptions:  Access, or continued access, to some Sing Into Reading products or services require a paid subscription or membership.  By signing up for a subscription, you agree that your subscription will automatically be renewed and, unless you cancel your subscription, you authorize us to charge your payment method for the renewal term.  Unless otherwise disclosed when you subscribe, you have the right to cancel your subscription.  When a subscription is cancelled you will not receive a prorated refund, but will continue to have access to our products until the end of the term of the cancelled subscription.

 

1. Order Process:  You will have the opportunity to review and confirm your order. You will receive a notice when we accept your order and our acceptance will be deemed complete and for all purposes to have been effectively communicated to you at the time we send the notice. At such time, the contract for sale will be made and become binding on both you and us. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order prior to delivery.  We also may require additional verification or information before accepting an order. We will contact you if any portion of your order is cancelled or if additional information is required to accept your order. If your order is cancelled after we have processed your payment but prior to delivery, we will refund your payment.

 

1. Payments and Billing: When you provide payment information, you represent and warrant that the information is accurate, that you are authorized to use the payment method provided, and that you will notify us of changes to the payment information.

1. Right of Cancellation:  You may have the right to cancel an order for a Sing Into Reading product or service – depending on the nature of the product.   When you purchase a license to access digital content, your accessing such content makes the fees paid for the  content non-refundable.  For canceling products or services involving a subscription or periodic payment, we ask that you advise us in writing of your request to cancel prior to the next billing cycle. 

 

 

• How We Protect Your Information

 

We take commercially reasonable steps to protect you from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Please understand, however, that no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the introduction. In particular, email sent to us may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email.

We adhere to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and will not knowingly collect Personal Information from any child under the age of 13 without express parental consent. Further, our products and services are a family product and not used or marketed solely to children. Sing Into Reading complies with all applicable COPPA provisions. If a child under the age of 13 has provided us with age identifiable Personal Information, a parent or guardian of that child may contact us and request that such information be deleted from our records.

 

 

• Disclaimers and Limitations on Liability

 

 

SING INTO READING PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” WE DISCLAIM ALL CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES NOT EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN THESE TERMS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

PLEASE CONTACT US FOR ASSISTANCE IF A SERVICE OR PRODUCT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. It is your responsibility to ensure you follow installation instructions, have the minimum system requirements, update software as recommended, and consult our customer service resources if you encounter a problem with our services or products.

We shall not be liable for delay or failure in performance for causes beyond our control or any other damage which does not result from a breach of our obligations under these Terms.

WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS AND PROPERTY DAMAGE, EVEN IF WE WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, NOR SHALL WE BE HELD LIABLE FOR DELAY OR FAILURE IN PERFORMANCE RESULTING FROM CAUSES BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES AND CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED THE GREATER OF $100 OR TOTAL AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO SING INTO READING DURING THE PRIOR THREE MONTHS IN QUESTION. 

 

• Submissions, User Generated Content, DMCA Takedown Notices

 

1. User Content:   Sing Into Reading may ask for or allow you to communicate, submit, upload or otherwise make available text, chats, images, audio, video, or other content which may be accessible and viewable by the public.

 

In most instances, we do not claim ownership of your content; however, by submitting such content you agree that you grant us a non-exclusive, sublicensable, irrevocable and royalty-free license under all copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, privacy and publicity rights and other intellectual property rights for the full duration of those rights to use, reproduce, transmit, print, publish, publicly display, exhibit, distribute, redistribute, copy, index, comment on, modify, transform, adapt, translate, create derivative works based upon, publicly perform, publicly communicate, make available, and otherwise exploit such content, in whole or in part, in all media formats and channels now known or hereafter devised (including in connection with Sing Into Reading Products and on third-party websites, services, applications, and/or platforms), in any number of copies and without limit as to time, manner and frequency of use, without further notice to you, without attribution (to the extent this is not contrary to mandatory provisions of applicable law), and without the requirement of permission from or payment to you or any other person or entity. You agree that submission of such content does not infringe upon any copyrights and that you have all necessary rights and permissions to use and transmit such content for our use.  The submission of any content does not establish any relationship of trust and confidence between you and us, and you expressly agree that you have no expectation of compensation whatsoever.

 

1. Media Consent and Release:  Some of Sing Into Reading’s services are very interactive.  Video and/or audio recordings may be a part of an instructional class.  We like to share and highlight our students and their success. As parent and/or guardian, you will be asked during registration whether you consent and grant Sing Into Reading the right and permission to record and/or use images and recordings, both audio and visual, of your child, or in which your child may be included, in whole or in part, for any lawful purpose.  This includes for commercial use on our site, on social media platforms, in digital and printed promotional materials, and/or in Sing Into Reading products.  If you consent to our usage during registration or submit content to us, you agree that we may use such content of your child without payment or other consideration whatsoever.  You may revoke your consent in writing by sending notice to use at the address below (in para C).

 

1. Claims of Copyright Infringement:  Notification of claimed copyright infringement and notices must be sent to:

 

Attn:  Designated Agent

Sing Into Reading, LLC

3409 CHELTENHAM RD.

TOLEDO OH 43606

 

We will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement that are reported to our designated agent, in accordance with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”) or, as applicable, other laws. These notices must include the required information set forth in the DMCA.

 

8.   Additional  Provisions

1. Disputes:   We try to provide clear rules so that we can limit or hopefully avoid disputes between you and us. If a dispute does arise, however, it's useful to know up front where it can be resolved and what laws will apply.  For any claim, cause of action, or dispute you have against us that arises out of or relates to these Terms or our products or services, you agree that it will be resolved exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio or a state court located in Lucas County, Ohio. You also agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim, and that the laws of the State of Ohio will govern these Terms and any claim, without regard to conflict of law provisions.

 

1. Severability. If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

 

1. Survival. The provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive the termination of these Terms shall survive such termination, including but not limited to the restrictions, disclaimers, limitations, our rights to use submitted content, and rules regarding dispute resolution.

 

1. Waiver. No waiver of any provision of these Terms by us shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or any other provision, and our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
