Agreement to Terms
By accessing, installing or using our Services, User(s) agree to be bound by these Terms. If User(s) do not agree to these Terms, its simple: do not use the Services.

Changes to Terms or Services
We reserve the right modify the Terms and our Services at any time, in our sole discretion. We will provide notification to our clients via  the email on file when these terms change. The date of last revision will be noted, and if User(s) don’t agree to be bound by the modified Terms, then please discontinue use of the Services immediately. 

Creating an Account
In order to access and use our Services, User organization will need to create an account (user “Account”). By creating an Account, you become a “User” and represent that you are eighteen (18) years of age or older and are not barred from using the Services under applicable law.

User organization’s Account should be that of the organization and set up by an authorized representative – do not use the Services under the name of another person with the intent to impersonate that person, or use a username that is subject to rights of another person without appropriate authorization. We have a strict “No Robots” policy. The authorized person creating an account must be a human to use the Services. Automated accounts are expressly prohibited. This policy also applies beyond Account creation to the general use of the Services. “Robot” (or automatic) activity is not allowed.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate the Account if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, false or misleading or to reclaim any username that you create through the Services that violates these Terms. User’s organization’s personnel is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the passwords and Accounts, and agree to notify us if passwords are lost, stolen, or disclosed to an unauthorized third party, or otherwise may have been compromised. We encourage each User to regularly change its password to help ensure User(s) account’s security.

Plans and Payment Terms
Course Container offers services under several different plans to suit User needs. In order to subscribe to one of our SaaS plans, Users will need a valid credit card or have an executed contract on file. For more information about how we handle credit card and other personally identifying information you may provide us, please read our Privacy Policy at https://www.coursecontainer.com/content/Privacy-Policy.aspx.

Accounts will be billed monthly starting on the day the User signs up and then on that date each month thereafter. If the User upgrades its Account plan, the User will be billed immediately upon upgrading and then on that date on every month thereafter. Each bill paid ensures access to portions of the Services that require payment for the next month. There are no refunds or credits for partial months of service, upgrade/downgrade refunds, or refunds for months unused with an open Account. In order to treat everyone equally, no exceptions will be made.

Each Course Container plan includes a specific number of Course Users (Number of users accessing course(s) per calendar month. A Course User can access the same course in the same period without additional charges). If a User’s Account exceeds the number of Course Users allowed on the current plan User will be billed the corresponding overage amount. User can upgrade their account for current and future month(s) at any time but cannot downgrade more than 2 times in a 6-month period, or perform an upgrade and downgrade in the same period.

Downgrading a User Account may cause the loss of features available under the current plan. Course Container is not, and will not be held to be, liable for such loss. If the billing method expires or changes, and the User does not edit or update User billing information or cancels its account, we will send you a single courtesy notice regarding billing information discrepancies. If a User fails to provide us with updated billing information more than three (3) days after notice is sent, Course Container reserves the right to disable and terminate access to the account. User authorizes us to continue billing during this notice period, and User will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.

Course Container will never store User customer’s credit card information. During payment, payment information is immediately transmitted to User payment gateway for authorization. During the course of using the Course Container platform you may use certain features within our system to process credit card or other financial information.  It is User responsibility to ensure the security of that information and handle it consistently with the best practices outlined by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council.

Payment for any non-monthly subscription plans is Net 30.

Hosting
Course Container guarantees 99% network uptime each month for all Course Container sites and deployments. For the purposes of this agreement, “network uptime” is defined as the period during which a customer’s webserver has external connectivity.  Scheduled after-hours maintenance is not included in network uptime calculations. Need for scheduled maintenance is rare, and you will be notified in advance of any scheduled maintenance that will result in more than 30 minutes of system unavailability.

Service Level Credit

If Course Container is unable to resolve any defect that is not caused due to any Out-of-Scope Problem, any Force Majeure Event, or any telecommunications failure, such that the Uptime of the Course Container falls below 99% per calendar month (a “Service Level Failure”), “User” will be entitled to a credit of one percent (1%) of the monthly Fee paid or payable to Course Container for the month in which all such Service Level Failures occurred (the “Service Level Credit”). The Service Level Credit amount, if any, requested by “User”, will be deducted from the amount for the next Month’s Fees. This paragraph states “Users” sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Service Level Failures.
