Rethink Yearbooks Terms of Service

 

Rethink Yearbooks allows schools and school administrators ("School"), and parents to create and offer personalised yearbooks through the Rethink Yearbooks website and software (the "Services"). The following terms and conditions ("Terms") govern the access and use of the Services and constitute a binding legal agreement between you, as a user of the Services, and Rethink Yearbooks. Your access to and use of the Services is conditioned on your compliance with these Terms. By accessing and/or using Services you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are a parent volunteer, you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of yourself, your child(ren) and your school to use the Services. If you do not agree with these Terms, you may not use the Services. If you are a school administrator or teacher, these Terms apply to your use of the Services, unless your School has agreed to different or supplementary terms in a separate written agreement with Rethink Yearbooks.

 

Privacy

All personal information that you provide is subject to our Privacy Policy (See Below), which governs our collection and use of your personal information. You understand that through your use of the Services you consent to the collection and use (as set forth in the Privacy Policy) of this information. As part of providing you the Services, we may need to provide you with certain communications, such as service announcements and administrative messages. These communications are considered part of the Services and your Account, which you may not be able to opt-out from receiving.

 

Access Codes

In order to access the Services, you must receive an access code from your School. If you are a parent, your access to and use of the Services will be subject to privileges and restrictions set by your School. If you have problems accessing a Rethink Yearbooks account set-up with a third party access code we recommend you check with the School that provided you with the related access code. Rethink Yearbooks will have no responsibility to you or any other third party for your inability to access or use the Services related to such an account and disclaims any liability related thereto.

 

The school obligations

The following terms apply to school administrators and teachers, regarding the School’s obligations related to the Services. The School is responsible for ensuring that its and any other user’s use of the Services under Rethink Yearbook’s agreement with the School will not violate any applicable U.S., state, or foreign law or regulation, including without limitation, applicable privacy laws. The School will be solely responsible (and the School hereby agrees that Rethink Yearbooks is not responsible) for compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and the Child Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), including without limitation, by limiting access to the Services to those student users from whom the School has received valid consent forms and complying with all parental requests regarding the collection, use and disclosure of such parent’s child’s information. The School is responsible for disseminating parental consent forms to parents of potential student users, for confirming receipt of valid consent forms for each child before granting a parent and/or that parent’s child an access code for the Services, and for retaining such consent forms on file. The School must provide parent users with the option to agree to the collection and use of such parent’s child’s personal information without agreeing to the disclosure of the information to third parties. If a parent user does not consent or rescinds such consent, the School shall immediately notify Rethink Yearbooks to discontinue that child’s access to the Services and ensure that such child’s information is no longer accessible through the Services. In any case, however, Rethink Yearbooks may provide any collected information to third parties who use it to provide support for the internal operations of Rethink Yearbooks.

The School decides who has access to what information and Content and who can delete or modify the information and Content. The School is responsible for providing parent users access to their child’s profile so the parent user may review, modify, or delete any student user information contained in the student user’s profile by allowing the parent to edit the child’s profile on the Services. The School (and not Rethink Yearbooks) is solely responsible for all consequences of the performance or non-performance of its obligations in this Section of the Terms; Rethink Yearbooks hereby disclaims any and all liability for the School’s failure to perform its obligations under the Terms.

 

Your content

Users may post, upload, publish, submit or transmit text, graphics, images, music, software, audio, video, information or other materials uploaded, downloaded, or otherwise available through the Services ("Content"), to be used through the Services. You may not post Content that is libelous, defamatory, obscene, abusive, or that violates a third party’s proprietary and privacy rights or that otherwise violates any applicable law. You may not post Content that degrades others on the basis of gender, race, class, ethnicity, national origin, sexual preference, disability or other classification. You grant Rethink Yearbooks and your School (including its related third party vendors, including but not limited to photographers and yearbook publishers) a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, perpetual and irrevocable right and license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, publish, perform, transmit and access any Content in connection with the Services and Rethink Yearbooks’s business, including, without limitation, publishing and redistributing Content in the School yearbooks. Rethink Yearbooks does not claim any ownership rights in any of your Content and nothing in these Terms will be deemed to restrict any rights that you may have to use and exploit any of your Content.

You will be responsible for the Content that you make available through the Services. Accordingly, you either are the owner of the Content that you make available through the Services or you have the right, license, or permission necessary to grant to Rethink Yearbooks the rights in such Content; and the Content you provide (and Rethink Yearbook’s or your School’s use of that Content) will not infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party’s proprietary rights, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation. Rethink Yearbooks respects copyright law and expects its users to do the same. 

Your School has the right to edit or remove any of your Content at any time for any reason at their sole discretion. If you dispute the editing or removal of any of your Content, you must contact your School for resolution of the dispute. Rethink Yearbooks disclaims all liability for such editing or removal and will not arbitrate any disputes over removal of your Content with you and your School.
