QTOPIA
TERMS OF USE & PRIVACY POLICY (SCHOOL HOURS)
1. YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS.
These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute an Agreement between you and Qwizdom Inc (Qwizdom is also referred to
herein as "Qtopia") regarding Qwizdom's online Qtopia service. By using Qtopia, you agree to these Terms in full.
2. REPRESENTATIONS OF SCHOOL OFFICIAL (TEACHER / ADMINISTATOR).
If you are a teacher/administrator, you represent and warrant that you
have the authority under the policies of your school to agree to these Terms. You further acknowledge and agree that you wish to use Qtopia as
described herein for delivering educational content to students and for collecting student responses and information.
3. SERVICE COMPONENTS.
School Hours (6:30AM-4PM or 7:30AM-5PM, Monday-Friday)
Qtopia offers online educational services during school hours (designated as 6:30AM-4PM or 7:30AM-5PM depending on location, Monday-Friday) to enhance
classroom learning. Qtopia's educational services are for the benefit of educators and their students, and may include, without limitation, online
delivery of quizzes, exercises, tests, reporting tools, analytical tools, and communication mechanisms between students and teachers. Any collection of
student information using Qtopia during school hours is under the direct control of the school or teacher/administrator.
After School Hours
Parents/guardians and students can access Qtopia outside of school hours. Qtopia requires parental/guardian consent for access by students under the
age of 13 outside of school hours. In addition, Qtopia offers "enhanced features" for use outside of school hours, and parents/guardians have control
over whether such enhanced features are accessible. Enhanced features will include, for example, additional graphical tools for encouraging online
learning.
4. PRIVACY & SECURITY POLICY.
Qtopia is committed to each user's personal privacy. For example, Qtopia uses industry
standard SSL (secure socket layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption
to transfer private, personal information. As a teacher/administrator activating
Qtopia for use in your classroom/school, you represent that this privacy and security
policy has been authorized by the school.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and Qtopia
does not warrant the security of any information collected using its services. By
agreeing to these Terms, you agree to use Qtopia at your own risk, and agree that
Qtopia shall not be liable if a security breach occurs, if the site malfunctions,
or if information is misused or mismanaged in any way to your detriment or the detriment
of a third party, whether by Qtopia, the school, or an unauthorized third party.
Student identifying information collected on Qtopia during School Hours is collected
at the direction of your school for the use and benefit of the school and the student.
Each student will have a unique username or identification code ("ID") and password
provided by the school. The username/ID and password will be usable by students,
at the discretion of the school, to allow students to access and participate in
learning activities online during school hours.
Qtopia will not share identifying or personal information of any particular student
with third parties (third parties do not include the student who provided the information,
the parent/guardian of a particular student who provided information, and the school
who authorized access by the student to Qtopia) without specific requirement by
the school. For example, if your school uses third parties to manage information,
the school may direct Qtopia to share the personal information with that third party
under the school's direction and control.
If, in the future, Qtopia, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, the
maintenance of all collected personal information may be transferred to the acquiring
party, provided that the acquiring party implement a privacy and security policy
at least as restrictive and secure as Qtopia's present policy in relation to personal
information, and provided that the collected personal information remain under the
control of the school.
Qtopia does not analyze information regarding how particular individuals use Qtopia
during School Hours as part of its normal course of business. Individual usage of
the system during school hours may be analyzed to resolve technical problems or
to investigate violations of these Terms.
If you have any questions regarding privacy and security policy, please contact
Qtopia by email at or by writing to:

can be made directly to Qtopia at Optout@Qtopia.com and will result in termination
the user's access to any online activities that require a username/ID and password,

need to provide enough information for Qtopia to locate the accused content.
(3) Provide your contact information, including full name, mailing address, telephone

complies with the above requirements from the DMCA, Qtopia will remove or disable
access to the accused Materials, subject to all other requirements of the DMCA.
Some of the requirements are that if Qtopia removes or disables access to the accused
Materials, it must promptly attempt to notify the user (if the user's contact information
is reasonably available to it) who uploaded the accused Materials that this has
been done. The user will be provided an opportunity to submit a "Counter Notification."
If Qtopia receives a "Counter Notification", it will provide a copy to you accompanied
by a notice explaining that Qtopia needs to replace the removed Materials, or cease
disabling access to it in ten business days, unless Qtopia's Designated Agent first
receives notice from you that you have filed an action in court seeking an order
to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the accused
Materials on Service.
COUNTER NOTIFICATION
If Qtopia removes or disables access to content you provide as a result of a NOTIFICATION
of alleged copyright infringement, we will promptly attempt to identify and notify
you if we have reasonable access to your contact information. If you disagree with
the allegation of copyright infringement, you can provide a COUNTER NOTIFICATION,
which must include the following:
(1) Identify the content (material) that has been removed or to which access has
been disabled.
(2) Provide this statement: "I swear under penalty of perjury that I have a good
faith belief that the content removed or disabled was the result of a mistake or
misidentification of the content."
(3) Provide your name, address and telephone number and email address (if available).
(4) Provide this statement: "I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District
court for the judicial district in which the address (above) is located, or if my
address is outside the United States, the Western District of Washington State,
USA, and I will accept service of process from the person who provided the notification/complaint
or that person's agent."

You should take statements 2 and 4 above in the Counter-Notification very seriously.

the payment of enhanced damages, fines and/or sanctions. If you are in any way unsure
of whether there has been an infringement, we urge you to contact an attorney before
sending your Counter-Notification.
Repeat infringers will lose access permanently to any Qtopia services.

5. PRIVACY & SECURITY POLICY.
In accordance with federal law (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act), Qtopia cannot condition a child's participation in an activity on the
child's disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the activity.
Collection of Non-personally Identifiable Information:
Non-personally Identifiable Information is information that, by itself, cannot be
tracked to an individual or used to contact an individual. Qtopia After School Services
may collect non-personally identifiable information while you are using Qtopia.
For example, Qtopia After School Services may collect surfing information such as
pages you visit on Qtopia, time/date of such activities, and links you may have
selected. Qtopia After School Services may use different types of technologies to
collect this information, including cookies.
Qtopia After School Services may display links to third parties.
If you choose to click on a link, Qtopia may provide non-personally identifiable
information to the third party. Also, the third party may use cookies or other technologies
to collect information when you are visiting their web sites. The information advertisers
or other third parties collect is governed by their individual privacy policies,
not by Qtopia's privacy policy.
Personally Identifiable Information.
Qtopia After School Services may ask you to provide personal information. Such information
may include: name, age, grade, email address, gender and educational interests.
This information may be collected actively via direct input from the student on
Qtopia After School Services registration forms or email newsletters.
Use of Non-Personally Identifiable Information:
Qtopia After School Services may use non-personally identifiable information collected
to improve services by, for example, diagnosing service problems, maintaining security,
adjusting ad placements on pages with more traffic, presenting you with information
that we think you would be interested in seeing for educational purposes, or to
count and recognize returning users. Qtopia After School Services may also use non-personally
identifiable information collected to determine user demographics, interests, and
behavior and may market Qtopia services/products by sharing non-personally identifiable
information with potential customers or partners. Qtopia may provide non-personally
identifiable information to contractors so that they can perform services for us
or we may share such aggregated non-personally identifiable information with prospective
marketing partners, advertisers and others.
Use of Personally Identifiable Information:
Qtopia strives to maintain confidentiality and security of all personally identifiable
information. Such personally identifiable information collected via Qtopia After
School Services is intended only for i) Qtopia's internal use, including administration
and marketing of Qtopia features to users of Qtopia; ii) allowing educators to identify,
analyze and track their students educational progress (Note: educators with access
to a student information are the same as those educators who would be allowed access
to a student academic records in a normal academic setting, including teachers,
school administrators, and school officials); iii) allowing students confidential
access to Qtopia (e.g., user verification); and iv) allowing parent/guardian access
to the personal information and progress of his or her child. Qtopia may share personally
identifiable information with third parties who provide Qtopia with administrative
services (such as, but not limited to, authorization of credit card and check transactions).
These service providers are granted access to some or all of your personal information
as necessary to provide services to Qtopia but are contractually restricted from
using your personal information in any manner other than as may be necessary to
perform their services for Qtopia.
Qtopia may release any information about any user, including personally identifiable
information, if in our sole discretion, release is appropriate to comply with the
law, requests or orders from law enforcement, court order, or any investigation.
We also may release information to protect our rights, property, or other interests,
including those of our customers or users or to prevent illegal activities or violations
of these Terms.
If in the future, Qtopia, or substantially all of its assets are acquired, the control
of all collected personal information may be transferred to the acquiring party,
provided that the acquiring party implement a privacy and security policy at least
as secure as Qtopia's present policy in relation to personal information.

Attachment A
ONLINE COMPONENT OF QWIZDOM CONNECT
TERMS OF USE
1a. Your Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Use constitute an Agreement between you and Qwizdom. You are about to use a service through QWIZDOM CONNECT software (also referred to
herein as “the Software”) or a web-based version of the QWIZDOM CONNECT service, to transmit information through the Internet to a server
hosted by Qwizdom, Inc. By using this QWIZDOM CONNECT service (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms of Use (the “Terms”) in
full. You also agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information as may be requested by Qwizdom.
Please backup your data, material and content (if any) independently, saving such
data, material or content on a local device in your exclusive control. Changes may
occur to the Service, and as such, data, material and/or content you provide to
this Service could be lost.
1b. Service Components
This Service currently has two main components, namely, (1) a “content sharing
tool” to assist professional educators in the sharing of educational content
and (2) an online “reporting tool,” for professional educators to use
in analyzing, storing and viewing educational performance data specific to individual
students and/or groups of students. The content sharing tool is accessible to all
Licensees of QWIZDOM CONNECT software (and Licensees of the QWIZDOM CONNECT web-based
Service). Certain features of the content sharing tool, may also be accessible to
the general public, at the sole discretion of Qwizdom. However, the reporting tool
is only accessible to school officials (including teachers) for schools that have
approved the reporting tool in writing with Qwizdom and are performing in an agreement
between Qwizdom and the school.
In addition, Qwizdom may provide supplemental content through the content sharing
tool in addition to content shared by users, with the supplemental content being
accessible to users only upon payment of a license fee to Qwizdom.
The content you post in this Service through the content sharing tool shall be accessible
to others for their use, as further described in Section 12 below. Also, Qwizdom
may create derivative works and compilations using the content that you post through
the content sharing tool, and Qwizdom may charge a fee to all users for obtaining
access to use such compilations or derivative works incorporating any part of the
content you post, as further described in Section 12. Qwizdom does not claim ownership
of the content you post, but Qwizdom shall have the right to sublicense such content
in a compilation or derivative form in exchange for a fee.
2. Service Restrictions and Age Restriction (18 Years or Older)
The restrictions listed below apply currently but may be changed in the future.
For example, in the future, Qwizdom may implement mechanisms to allow parents and
students to access certain aspects of the reporting tool. However, until further
notice from Qwizdom, the following restrictions apply.
REPORTING TOOL RESTRICTIONS: To use the reporting tool, you must be a school official (which includes teachers) of your School or School District
(“the school”), and the school must approve use of the reporting tool. In such case, Qwizdom will activate a user ID for your use. If the
school has not approved the use of the reporting tool, then your use of the reporting tool is prohibited.
AGE RESTRICTION. Qwizdom does not currently offer this Service to anyone under the age of 18, and if you are under the age of 18, you are hereby
expressly notified that you are not permitted to use this Service. Qwizdom is not responsible for monitoring or seeking verification of user
qualification or age. However, if Qwizdom discovers that users are accessing this Service in violation of these terms, Qwizdom may immediately take
action to terminate the access of such users. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause; however, this is part of Qwizdom’s policy to be
compliant with state and federal regulations and laws.
3. User Conduct
You promise NOT to use this Service for any of the following purposes or activities:
conducting or supporting illegal activity of any type whatsoever;
transmitting or storing worms or viruses or any code of a destructive nature;
threatening, harassing, abusing, impersonating, injuring or intimidating others;
interfering with others' use of this Service, unless such interference is for the purpose of complying with another section of these Terms;
delivering spam or collecting information to deliver spam, or sending unsolicited email advertisements;
uploading or sharing any content or data making reference to a particular student, or specific to a particular student, unless approved by the school;
decompiling, disassembling, reverse engineering or otherwise attempting to discover any source code contained in this Service;
disguising the origin of any content transmitted through this Service or manipulating your presence on the Service; and/or
causing the launch of any automated system(s) that access this Service in a manner that sends more request messages to servers of the Service in a given period of time than a human can reasonably produce in the same period by using a conventional on-line web browser.
4. Reporting Tool Provided at Direction of School
Qwizdom’s provision of the reporting tool is subject to the review of the
school (which may include your local school district). Qwizdom stores and uses data
in the reporting tool provided by you (the school official), or the school, under
the direction of the school.
5. Privacy & Security Policy
Qwizdom (which includes Qwizdom’s affiliates who will have access to the school material and data only as necessary for Qwizdom to provide the
Service) strives to provide and deliver measures needed by the school to comply with applicable state and federal laws, such as, for example, the
Family Education Right and Privacy Act (FERPA). Qwizdom does not currently accept content or data in the reporting tool provided directly from students
or parents of students, or other third parties.
Qwizdom will not, without written consent of the school, sell, rent or loan any data you submit through the reporting tool, to anyone, and the same
will generally apply to personal data regarding school officials. However, Qwizdom may allow its affiliates to have access to and use the reporting
tool data to assist Qwizdom in providing this Service as provided in (i) above, and if in the future, Qwizdom, or substantially all of its assets are
acquired, the control of the data may be transferred to the acquiring party, provided that the acquiring party implement a privacy and security policy
at least as restrictive and secure as Qwizdom’s present policy in relation to the data.
Other than the acquiring party and Qwizdom affiliates referred to above, Qwizdom will make efforts to avoid any disclosure of reporting tool data
to anyone other than you or other approved school officials of your school unless required to do so by law. However, the content you provide in the
content sharing tool will be viewable by users of QWIZDOM CONNECT online, and may also be viewable online by the public, at Qwizdom’s discretion,
so please do not include any sensitive personal data, or any student data through the content sharing tool. Qwizdom will not monitor the content to
review for personal data.
Qwizdom may allow residual data to reside within its Service’s system even after deletion by you for an indefinite period. But this privacy
and security policy shall continue to apply to the residual data for no less than five years after deletion of the data.
Qwizdom may automatically receive and record information on its server logs from user browsers, including IP address, cookies
and requested page. Qwizdom may use this information for service improvements, research, anonymous reporting, and to make the Service more convenient,
such as automatically recognizing you when you return.
No security system is impenetrable and risks of breach exist in any system. However, Qwizdom promises to make efforts to keep your password, user
ID, and reporting tool data secure. You agree to use this Service at your own risk, and agree that Qwizdom shall not be liable if a security breach
occurs, if the Service malfunctions, or if information is misused or mismanaged in any way to your detriment or the detriment of a third party, whether
by you, another school official, Qwizdom, the school, or an unauthorized third party.
Qwizdom has the right and sole discretion to change its privacy and security policies
at its sole discretion, at any time, subject only to the school electing not to
participate in the use of the Service. If Qwizdom changes its privacy or security
policy, Qwizdom will transmit those changes to you or post them at www.qwizdom.com ,
or at another website which Qwizdom will announce to your school or to you directly.
If you have any questions or suggestions regarding Qwizdom’s privacy and security
policy, please contact Qwizdom using the contact information provided at
www.qwizdom.com , or by email at privacy@qwizdom.com .
