IMPORTANT: If you are a minor (a minor often is someone under the age of 18), you may not register for, or otherwise access, the Services (as defined here), nor may you consent to the terms of this End User License Agreement ("Agreement") unless your educational institution or parent consents to and accepts the terms of this Agreement on your behalf.
Children under the age of 13 may not accept the terms of this Agreement, register for, or otherwise access, the Services unless an educational institution or parent has established an account or registered on their behalf.
If you have any questions about this Agreement, please contact us at: support@vizicourseware.com.
It is important to us that the Services provide you with a helpful and reliable experience. To protect our rights and yours, this Agreement governs all uses of the Services. Access or use of the Services for which you seek registration or enrollment constitutes acceptance of this Agreement as a binding agreement. By using the Services, you represent that you (1) have read and understood the terms, (2) agree to use the Services in compliance with applicable laws and the terms of this Agreement and (3) are an Authorized User (as defined here, also referred to herein as "User" ). You may not use the Services if you do not agree with the Agreement or if you are not an Authorized User.
The Services are available only to individuals, including but not limited to employer or educational institution administrators, managers, instructors, and students, who have gained lawful access to the Services directly from Vizi or its Third Party Service provider or through the Institution of which such individual is affiliated ("Authorized User" or "User"). In order to initiate access to the Services, you must register for a user account ("User Account") by providing your first name, last name, valid email address (and in the case of Enrollments, your Institution, educational institution and Course name or code) and designating a secret and unique username and password ("Account Credentials"), as well as any additional information that may be required by your Institution. In some cases, your User Account may already be established for you by your Institution, or by way of direct access from an integrated Third Party Service, such as a learning management system, each of which may have additional terms of use or requirements for account access. Vizi may use your Account Credentials to validate your account prior to providing access to the Services each time you access the Services.
You may have only one active User Account at any given time. You agree to provide accurate and truthful information when creating a User Account and to promptly update such information should it change.
You may not self-register for the Services if you are under the age of 13 unless your educational institution has established an account or registered on your behalf. If you are under the age of 18, you may not register or use the Services without first obtaining permission from your parent or guardian. However, if you are under the age of 18 and enrolled at an institution of higher education, you may self-register for the Services.
The Services are not intended for use by residents of countries in which trade restrictions prohibit the sale of certain U.S. products or services. You understand and acknowledge that the administrators associated with your Institution or a Third Party Service may have access to your User Account and may suspend, modify or terminate your account access at any time and for any reason.
Your User Account is for your personal use only. Allowing others to access or use the Services through your User Account is strictly prohibited and you are responsible for all uses of the Services associated with your Account Credentials, whether the use is made by you personally or by a third party due to your disclosure of your Account Credentials.
In order to protect the security of your Account Credentials and the Services, it is important that you maintain the confidentiality of your Account Credentials. You agree not to (1) use Account Credentials other than your own, or (2) to disclose your Account Credentials to any third party or service, other than an authorized Third Party Service. You agree to take reasonable steps to protect the secrecy of your Account Credentials and immediately notify Vizi of any known or suspected loss, disclosure or theft of your Account Credentials and/or access codes you obtain in connection with the Services.

You may access a Course available through the Services only for the duration of the Subscription purchased (typically one or two semesters depending on the Course), whether or not the Services are used and subject to Vizi's right to terminate access under this Agreement. Educational institution access may be provided for an indefinite time period until otherwise terminated subject to this Agreement.
While Vizi makes reasonable efforts to ensure the availability of the Services to Authorized Users with active Subscriptions, the Services may be unavailable for limited periods of time due to scheduled routine maintenance, emergency maintenance or factors beyond Vizi's control, such as disruptions of internet services or unforeseen threats to the integrity or security of the Services.
Vizi may at any time, with or without notice to you, restrict the use and accessibility of the Services and/or discontinue any portion, feature, or content of the Services. Vizi will make reasonable efforts to provide Authorized Users notice of significant changes to the Services to Authorized Users with active Subscriptions whenever reasonably feasible and provide alternative materials or services if substantial portions of the Services become unavailable.
YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT: (a) YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS; (b) YOU HAVE NOT RELIED ON ANY STATEMENT, INFORMATION OR ADVICE FROM VIZI'S REPRESENTATIVES OR RESELLERS WHICH WOULD BE DEEMED TO BE A WARRANTY OF THESE SERVICES OR FORM THE BASIS FOR ANY LIABILITY OF VIZI; (c) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, VIZI AND ITS LICENSORS AND CONTRACTORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
