These Terms of Use for Digital Products (“Terms”) apply to web-based School Products (“Products”) and related apps and technologies provided by Matilda. and its affiliates. The term “Products” as used in these Terms refers to the products, services, websites, content, databases, software, technologies, and tools delivered by Matilda for use in schools or privately for use in undertaking School courses of study, and that link or otherwise refer to these Terms, or that are delivered through a website or service that links or refers to these Terms.

If you are under 18 years of age, your parent or guardian must enter into these Terms on your behalf, and this parent or guardian represents and agrees that he or she accepts these Terms on your behalf.

The Products are for use by students and classroom teachers and administrators in schools.  Access to Products is sometimes enabled through a learning management system (LMS) integration.  Matilda only collects and processes information pertaining to children as a processor for the educational institutions when delivering its Products.  Matilda does not use identifiable school student information for its own purposes.  See Matilda’s Privacy Notice for additional information on Matilda’s privacy and data collection and usage practices.

Matilda is willing to provide the Products to you only on the condition that you first accept these Terms.  By accessing, registering for, or using any Product, or by accepting these Terms through an “I Accept” check-box or similar method, you agree to these Terms.  These Terms along with any Order (defined below) form a legally binding agreement between you and Matilda.

Please read these Terms carefully and if you do not agree with them in any way, you may not access or use the Products.  Your use of certain Products, or parts of certain Products, may be subject to additional terms, which may be presented to you for acceptance when you sign up for those Products.

If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of another organization or entity, you represent that you are duly authorized to bind that organization or entity to these Terms.

Orders

You may gain access to the Products through your acceptance of an online or printed order form or other ordering document that references these Terms, including access through an access code (an “Order”).  An Order may specify applicable fees, how long you are authorized to use the Product, and other terms.  In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the terms of an Order (excluding these Terms), these Terms shall control except only to the extent that the Order identifies the specific provision(s) in these Terms to be varied.

Changes to the Products

Matilda may, with or without notice, add features to the Products, or change or remove features of the Products, at any time.

Your Account

To use a Product, you will need a Matilda username and password, unless you log in through a “single sign-on” system using your LMS username and password if the School Product includes this feature. Certain Products may also require additional login information or the activation of an access code.

Your account is for your personal use only. You may not authorize others to use your account, and you may not assign or transfer your account. Accounts are one-to-one and should not be shared or accessed via a generic email account. 

You must keep your username and password confidential.  You are responsible for all activities, charges, and liabilities associated with your account. You agree to immediately notify Matilda of any unauthorized use of your account of which you are aware. If you are a minor, Matilda reserves the right to provide access to your account to your parent, guardian or other authorized adult, upon such adult’s request.

Content

The Products may allow you to upload or otherwise add information, text, graphics, photos, audio, video, and/or other materials and content (“Content”).  You represent and warrant that you own or have the full right to provide all Content that you provide through the Products for use with the Products (“Your Content”), and that Your Content does not infringe any third-party rights, including any intellectual property, publicity or privacy rights.

Matilda does not obtain ownership of Your Content.  You hereby grant Matilda a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sub-licensable and transferable license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, prepare derivative works of, perform and display Your Content in connection with the Products and Matilda’s business, including for promoting the Products, in all media now known or hereafter devised, and through any media channels.  If perpetual license terms are not allowed by law, the term shall be for the longest period allowed by applicable law.

Matilda does not adopt, endorse, or accept responsibility for Your Content or any third-party Content. You agree that Matilda will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from your reliance on Your Content or any third-party Content available through the Products.

Matilda reserves the right (but has no obligation) to pre-screen, review, flag, filter, modify, refuse, or remove Content from the Products.

After termination of your use of any Products, except as required by applicable law, Matilda does not have any obligation to destroy, return or retain Your Content relating to your use of such Products, including the student data visible via the reports dashboard.

 It is your sole responsibility to backup and export Your Content prior to termination.

Your Use of the Products

During the applicable term of your subscription for use of the Products, Matilda grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license only to access and to use the Products for the Permitted Use (as defined below), subject to your compliance with these Terms. You may not use the Products for any other purpose, or after the end of the applicable term, or after termination of your rights to use the Products under these Terms.  “Permitted Use” means your personal non-commercial purposes.

You shall provide, at your own expense, suitable equipment, software, and internet access as necessary to access and use the Products.

Neither the Products nor any portion thereof may be displayed, copied, downloaded, sold, resold, used, distributed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without Matilda’s prior written consent. You may not frame or utilize framing techniques to enclose any Mark (defined below) or other proprietary information (including images, text, page layout and form) of Matilda or its licensors without Matilda’s prior written consent. You may not use any meta tags or any other "hidden text" using Matilda's Marks without Matilda’s prior written consent. Any unauthorized use by you of Matilda’s Marks or other intellectual property automatically terminates the license granted by Matilda under these Terms and your right to use the Products.

Educational Use of Content 

With respect to Content designated as available for download for educational purposes ("Downloadable Content"), librarians, teachers, support staff, administrators, other staff of educational institutions, students, and adults supporting such students' learning ("Educators or Learners") are authorized, subject to applicable law, to download certain Downloadable Content to a personal computer or School server and print, reproduce, and distribute such Downloadable Content solely for use in educational settings and subject to the restrictions set forth below. 

The following restrictions apply to all Downloadable Content. 

Educators or Learners are prohibited from disseminating or using Downloadable Content beyond such Educator's or Learner's particular educational institution or in violation of local or otherwise applicable laws and regulations.  Under no circumstances may an Educator or Learner use Downloadable Content for commercial purposes.  Downloadable Content used for any purpose must always maintain unaltered credit, copyright, other proprietary notices, and embedded links.  Educators or Learners may make no modifications to Downloadable Content and must preserve all Matilda credits and copyright notices. 

With respect to Read-Only Downloadable Content, Educators or Learners may neither make use of nor allow or enable the use of Read-Only Downloadable Content in a manner in which it is re-posted, framed, or mirrored on any other websites or computer networks, regardless of educational use. 

With respect to Modular Downloadable Content, Educators or Learners may post only products that the Educator or Learner has created containing such Modular Downloadable Content and only to a website administered by the Educator's or Learner's School or School system, or by Matilda. 

Content used for any purpose must always maintain unaltered copyright and other proprietary notices. Content may not be re-posted, framed, or mirrored on any other Web sites or computer networks, regardless of educational use.

In Australia and New Zealand, the extent of instructor permissible copying, reproduction or display of Matilda Content is governed by Copyright law and your institutional agreement with Copyright Agency Limited in Australia (“CAL”) or Copyright Licensing New Zealand (“CLNZ”), for which an annual fee per student is paid.  Permission for use beyond that permitted by your agreement with CAL or CLNZ must be sought directly from Matilda at https://www.Matilda.com.au/permissions.

For clarity, personal use by instructors and students within the designated Matilda platform is granted within these Terms of Use and free of obligations under agreements with CAL and CLNZ, however, any copying, reproduction or display of Matilda Content outside of the designated Matilda platform (e.g., producing in-class handouts for students) is subject to your agreement(s) with CAL and/or CLNZ.

Matilda Materials and Intellectual Property

Matilda and its licensors own and retain all right, title, and interest in and to the Products, all underlying technology used with or otherwise enabling the Products, and all software and Content (other than Your Content, which you own subject to the license set forth herein) available within the Products (collectively, “Matilda Materials”), including all associated trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights.   Nothing in these Terms transfers any such rights, title or interest to you or any other user, and Matilda reserves all rights not expressly granted to you.  All software and apps provided to you under these Terms are licensed, not sold.

You agree not to remove, conceal, or alter any proprietary rights notices (including copyright and trademark notices) contained within the Matilda Materials.  You may not (and you may not permit anyone else to) extract, copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to access or use the source code of the software underlying or otherwise used to provide the Products or any part thereof, except to the extent allowed by law notwithstanding this restriction.

All trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos and graphics included within the Products ("Marks") are trademarks of Matilda and its licensors. You may not use any Marks without the prior written consent of Matilda. 

You agree that any breach of your obligations with respect to Matilda's and its licensors’ proprietary or intellectual property rights will result in irreparable injury to Matilda and its licensors for which money damages are inadequate, and you therefore agree that Matilda and its licensors shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to address such breach, without the requirement of posting a bond, in addition to any other relief that a court may deem proper.

Modifiable Matilda Content

Certain Products may contain some Matilda Materials that are presented to you in a modifiable format, where your modification of the Matilda Materials is expressly and clearly permitted (“Modifiable Matilda Content”).   

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and during the term of the applicable Products, you may: (1) modify and create derivative works of Modifiable Matilda Content, (2) reformat and print copies of Modifiable Matilda Content (including your modifications and derivative works of Modifiable Matilda Content) when the capability to reformat and/or print that Modifiable Matilda Content is made available through the Products, and (3) use Modifiable Matilda Content (including your modifications and derivative works of Modifiable Matilda Content) solely for the Permitted Use. Printing of Modifiable Matilda Content in Australia and New Zealand requires compliance with the Statutory Education License for Educators in each territory. 

Shared Content

Certain Products may contain Content posted by Matilda and other users (including Your Content) in an area of an applicable Service that is designated as a learning space and/or user community and that is presented to users in a modifiable format and in a manner clearly indicating that modification and distribution for the Permitted Use is permitted (“Shared Content”). 

Subject to your compliance with these Terms during the term of the applicable Products, you may: (1) modify and create derivative works of the Shared Content, and (2) copy, distribute, display, perform, and otherwise use those modifications, derivative works, and Shared Content, by means of any media or delivery technology now known or hereafter devised, solely for the Permitted Use. Printing of Shared Content in Australia and New Zealand requires compliance with the Statutory Education License for Educators in each territory. 

Open Content

Certain Products may contain Content made available through a Creative Commons license (such as Attribution 4.0 International) or similar “open”-style license (“Open License”), as clearly and expressly specified within the Products (“Open Content”).   You will have the rights to use Open Content solely as specified in the associated Open License.  Nothing in these Terms shall restrict your rights under any Open License to Open Content provided through the Products.

Your Modifications to Modifiable Content, Shared Content, and Open Content

If you make any modifications to or derivative works of Modifiable Matilda Content, Shared Content, or Open Content, then all such modifications and derivative works shall be considered part of Your Content and are subject to the license and other provisions in the Section entitled “Content” above, as well as all other applicable provisions of these Terms.

Fees

Some Products and associated Content may be available only if an associated fee has been paid. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order, all fees are payable in Australian dollars.  All fees paid are non-refundable and non-creditable, except as required by applicable law. 

Unless another form of payment is specified in the Order, Matilda will bill your credit card (for purposes of these Terms, the term “credit card” includes a credit card or a debit card) for all applicable fees in advance of Service delivery. You shall provide Matilda with accurate and complete billing information, including your name, address, telephone number, and valid credit card information, and shall promptly notify Matilda of any changes in that information. You acknowledge that the agreement between you and the applicable credit card issuer governs use of your credit card for payment of amounts owed to Matilda, including your rights and obligations as a holder of that card. 

Matilda will disclose the applicable payment options at the time you place your Order. You shall select a payment method to pay Matilda for purchases you make for and/or from the applicable Products. Matilda or Matilda's billing agent may charge your payment method for all amounts due to Matilda without additional notice or consent unless otherwise required by law. Matilda may, in its discretion: (1) post charges to your payment method individually, or (2) aggregate your charges with other purchases you make within the Products and apply those charges to your next billing cycle.

Except for taxes based on Matilda’s net income, if any authority imposes a tax, duty, levy, or fee (such as the Goods and Services Tax) upon your use of or orders for any Products, you shall pay that amount as specified in the Order or Matilda’s invoice or supply Matilda with exemption documentation.  You are also responsible for paying all administrative fees (such as PayPal fees) associated with the Products and any transactions you entered into in connection with the Products.

If Matilda does not receive payment from your credit card issuer, upon demand you shall pay all overdue amounts by other means acceptable to Matilda. Matilda may accept other forms of payment, and if Matilda invoices you for Products, you shall pay to Matilda the amount indicated in each invoice by the due date reflected on the invoice. 

If you believe that a billing discrepancy has occurred, unless you notify Matilda in writing within 60 days after the date on which that discrepancy first appeared on your credit card account statement or invoice, as applicable, you waive your right to claim that discrepancy. 

Service purchases and subscriptions are non-returnable and cannot be exchanged. Until your Service is terminated, you will continue to accrue charges for which you remain liable, even if you do not use the Product. 

If you fail to pay according to these Terms, Matilda may, without prejudice to its other rights and remedies: (1) charge interest on any unpaid amounts on a daily basis from the original due date at the rate of the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum amount permissible by law, (2) suspend or terminate your use and/or access to Products, or both (1) and (2). You shall reimburse Matilda for all reasonable expenses Matilda incurs in collecting past due amounts, including wire transfer fees, collection agency fees, reasonable legal fees, and court costs. Matilda may charge a fee for reinstatement of suspended or terminated accounts.

In addition, if you fail to pay according to these Terms, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, you consent and agree that Matilda or its designated third-party collection agency may contact you by: (1) phone at one or more of your telephone numbers, including your wireless telephone numbers (in which case you might incur wireless telephone charges under your wireless device plan), (2) text messages (in which case you might incur message and data charges under your wireless device plan) or emails, and/or

(3) any other method of contact, including pre-recorded and/or artificial voice messages or an automatic dialing device.

A Product might contain or be accompanied by digital rights management technology or similar security technology designed to protect digital information against piracy and other misuse.
