Eligibility. BETTERLESSON IS A PLATFORM FOR EDUCATORS. K-12 students attempting to access content from the BetterLesson platform without the consent of a teacher/instructor are in direct violation of the Terms of Service. Any student pretending to be an educator, impersonating an educator, or making fraudulent claims to be an educator will be immediately removed from the BetterLesson platform and may be subject to disciplinary actions within his/her school. BY DOWNLOADING, INSTALLING OR OTHERWISE USING THE BETTERLESSON PLATFORM, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST 13 YEARS OF AGE AND HAVE NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY SUSPENDED OR REMOVED FROM THE BETTERLESSON PLATFORM. The content on the BetterLesson Platform is only available for you to use for educational, non-commercial purposes; any other use is prohibited.

Privacy. We take the protection of your personal information seriously, which is why BetterLesson has adopted the following privacy policy, which can be found by clicking here. BetterLesson’s Privacy Policy is hereby incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please read our Privacy Policy carefully for information relating to BetterLesson’s collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information.

GDPR. BetterLesson and You will comply with its respective obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the European Directive 2002/58/EC (as amended or updated from time to time) and any legislation and or binding regulations implementing or made pursuant to them (“Data Protection Requirements”). You shall be regarded as the data controller of any personal data collected about individuals under this Agreement in connection with services. When providing the services to You, BetterLesson may be processing personal data about individuals on behalf of You and thus acting as a data processor in accordance with the Data Protection Requirements. BetterLesson shall process the personal data only on behalf of and in accordance with Your documented instructions for the following purposes (i) in accordance with Your instructions consistent with this Agreement and as necessary to provide the services; and (ii) on documented reasonable instructions from You where such instructions are consistent with the terms of this Agreement, including with regard to transfers of personal data to a third country or an international organization, unless required to do so by Union or Member State law to which BetterLesson is subject; in such a case, BetterLesson shall inform You of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest. BetterLesson shall ensure that persons authorized to process the personal data have committed themselves to confidentiality or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of confidentiality. Your instructions for the processing of personal data shall comply with Data Protection Requirements. Without Your prior written consent, BetterLesson must not (i) use the personal data for any other purpose than the fulfillment of its duties under the Agreement, or (ii) disclose the data to third parties other than in accordance with the Agreement. BetterLesson have implemented and shall maintain the appropriate technical and organizational measures to comply with the obligations of a data processor, including ensuring that the personal data is not (i) accidentally or unlawfully destroyed, (ii) lost, altered or damaged, (iii) disclosed to or accessed by any unauthorized person, (iv) misused or (v) in other ways treated in violation of the Data Protection Requirements. Considering the nature of the processing, BetterLesson shall assist You by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible, for the fulfilment of Your obligation to respond to requests for exercising the data subject’s rights set forth in the Data Protection Requirements. In addition, to the extent You, in Your use of the services, do not have the ability to address a data subject request, BetterLesson shall upon Your request provide commercially reasonable efforts to assist You in responding to such data subject request, to the extent BetterLesson is legally permitted to do so and the response to such data subject request is required under Data Protection Requirements. To the extent legally permitted, You shall be responsible for any costs arising from BetterLesson’s provision of such assistance. BetterLesson shall promptly refer to You any requests, notices or other communication from data subjects, data protection authorities or any other law enforcement authority for You to resolve. BetterLesson shall provide such information to You as You may reasonably require, and within the timescales reasonably specified by You, to allow You to comply with the rights of data subjects, including subject access rights, or with notices served by the relevant data protection authority. BetterLesson shall include in any contracts authorized contractors who will process personal data directly or indirectly on behalf of You, provisions in favor of You which are equivalent to those in this Agreement. BetterLesson shall assist You in ensuring compliance with the obligations pursuant to the Data Protection Requirements in connection with data protection impact assessments, prior consultation of the supervisory authorities or notifications of personal data breaches considering the nature of processing and the information available to BetterLesson. At Your choice, BetterLesson shall delete or return all the personal data to You after the end of the provision of services relating to processing, and shall delete existing copies unless Union or Member State law requires storage of the personal data. BetterLesson shall make available to You all information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations set forth in this Agreement.

BetterLesson shall provide Customer with reasonable cooperation and assistance needed to fulfill Your obligation under the GDPR to carry out a data protection impact assessment related to Your use of the services, to the extent You do not otherwise have access to the relevant information, and to the extent such information is available to BetterLesson.

BetterLesson must inform You if BetterLesson believe that Your instruction is in breach of the applicable data protection provisions and may then not undertake the execution of the relevant instruction until it is clarified whether the instruction is compliant with data protection law.

Individual Features and Services. When using the BetterLesson Platform, you will be subject to any additional posted guidelines or rules applicable to specific services and features which may be posted from time to time (the “Guidelines”). All such Guidelines are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms.

Please check these Terms and any Guidelines periodically for changes. Your continued use of the BetterLesson Platform after the posting of changes constitutes your binding acceptance of such changes. For any material changes to these Terms, such amended terms will automatically be effective thirty days after they are initially posted on the BetterLesson Platform.

Please note that since we respect authors’ and content holders’ rights, it is BetterLesson’s policy to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the ‘DMCA’). For more information, please go to BetterLesson’s DMCA Notification Guidelines below.

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the subscriber.
  2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
