Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability — will survive.
Limitation of Liability
Notwithstanding any damages that You might incur, the entire liability of the Company and any of its suppliers under any provision of these Terms and Your exclusive remedy for all of the foregoing shall be limited to the greater of (i) the amount actually paid by You through the Service, or (ii) 100 USD if You haven't paid anything through the Service.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Company or its suppliers be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever (including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, loss of data or other information, for business interruption, for personal injury, loss of privacy arising out of or in any way related to the use of or inability to use the Service, third-party software and/or third-party hardware used with the Service, or otherwise in connection with any provision of these Terms), even if the Company or any supplier has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Some states do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply. In these states, each party's liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
"AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" Disclaimer
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED TO YOU "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" AND WITH ALL FAULTS AND DEFECTS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY, ON ITS OWN BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ITS AFFILIATES AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE LICENSORS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS, EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE. WITHOUT LIMITATION TO THE FOREGOING, THE COMPANY PROVIDES NO WARRANTY OR UNDERTAKING, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, ACHIEVE ANY INTENDED RESULTS, BE COMPATIBLE OR WORK WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE, APPLICATIONS, SYSTEMS, OR SERVICES, OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, MEET ANY PERFORMANCE OR RELIABILITY STANDARDS, OR BE ERROR-FREE OR THAT ANY ERRORS OR DEFECTS CAN OR WILL BE CORRECTED.

The Service is a supplement to education, not a substitute for teachers, curriculum, or professional advice.
Children's Use of the Service
The Service is intended for use by elementary, middle, and high school learners, which means We knowingly welcome Children under the age of 13 with the required consent of a Parent or School.
Parental consent. Where applicable law requires verifiable parental consent (for example, under the United States Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") or comparable laws in Your jurisdiction), We will obtain such consent before knowingly collecting personal information from a Child, as described in Our Privacy Policy.
School consent. When the Service is deployed through a School, the School acts as the agent of the Parent for purposes of providing consent under COPPA for school-related educational purposes, consistent with FTC guidance. Schools represent and warrant that they have the authority to agree to these Terms on behalf of their students and will honor parental-consent obligations under applicable law. When the Service is used by a School, We may have access to or collect "Student Data". "Student Data" is personal information that is directly related to an identifiable student and, in the U.S., may include "educational records" as defined by the Family Educational and Privacy Act ("FERPA"). The School and/or the student owns and controls the Student Data. By using the Service, you authorize Us to access, collect, transmit, modify, display and store Student Data for the purpose of providing the Service and as otherwise described in this Agreement and in our Privacy Policy.
Parental rights. Parents may review the personal information We have collected from their Child, request deletion of that information, and refuse to permit further collection or use of their Child's information at any time by contacting support@lrnyourway.com.
Governing Law
The laws of the State of Connecticut, United States, excluding its conflicts of law rules, shall govern these Terms and Your use of the Service. Your use of the Application may also be subject to other local, state, national, or international laws.
The Service is intended for use within the United States. If You are using the Service outside of the United States, You agree to comply with and are solely responsible for complying with all local laws, regulations and rules in the jurisdiction(s) from which you use or access the Service. You agree to comply with all laws regarding the transmission of data from the United States to the jurisdiction(s) from which you use or access the Service.
Dispute Resolution
If You have any concern or dispute about the Service, You agree to first try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting the Company at support@lrnyourway.com. The exclusive venue for any unresolved dispute will be the state or federal courts located in the State of Connecticut, and You and We consent to personal jurisdiction there. Nothing in this section deprives You of any mandatory consumer-protection rights in Your place of residence.
For European Union (EU) Users
If You are a European Union consumer, You will benefit from any mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which You are resident. Nothing in these Terms affects Your statutory rights as a consumer in the European Union.
United States Federal Government End Use Provisions
If You are a U.S. federal government end user, Our Service is a "Commercial Item" as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. §2.101.
United States Legal Compliance
You represent and warrant that (i) You are not located in a country that is subject to the United States government embargo, or that has been designated by the United States government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and (ii) You are not listed on any United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Severability and Waiver
Severability
If any provision of these Terms and Conditions, or the application of such provision to any person or circumstance, is declared by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the application of such provisions to persons or circumstances other than those to which it is held invalid or unenforceable. If such invalidity or unenforceability is due to the court's determination that the provision's scope is excessively broad or restrictive under applicable law then in effect, the parties hereby jointly request that such provision be construed by modifying its scope so as to be enforceable to the fullest extent compatible with applicable law then in effect. If any provision is held to be invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular circumstance, such provision shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect in all other circumstances.
Waiver
Except as provided herein, our failure to exercise a right or to require performance of an obligation under these Terms shall not affect our ability to exercise such right or require such performance at any time thereafter, nor shall the waiver of a breach constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.
Translation Interpretation
These Terms and Conditions may have been translated if We have made them available to You on Our Service. You agree that the original English text shall prevail in the case of a dispute.
Changes to These Terms and Conditions
We reserve the right, at Our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, We will make reasonable efforts to provide at least 30 days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at Our sole discretion.
By continuing to access or use Our Service after those revisions become effective, You agree to be bound by the revised terms. If You do not agree to the new terms, in whole or in part, please stop using the website and the Service.
