Terms of Service

These are the Terms and Conditions of Service (hereinafter, the “Terms”) for our platform available at the URL https://www.acedstudy.com (the “Site”), including its sub-domains and its mobile-optimized versions, the mobile application known as AcedStudy (the “App”), along with any products and services offered thereby.  These Terms shall supplement our Privacy Policy (the “Policy”), incorporated herein by reference.

The Site, the App, and the provided products and services are delivered by the AcedStudy LLC team (hereinafter and collectively referred to as “AcedStudy”).

The following terminology applies to our Terms, Policy, and other guidelines and agreements indicated by us from time to time: “client”, “user”, “you”, and “your” refer to you, the person logged on this Site and compliant to our terms and conditions.  The words “ourselves”, “we”, “our”, and “us” refer to us and our parent and holding companies.  Any use of the above terminology or other words in the singular, plural, capitalization and/or he/she or they, is taken as interchangeable and, therefore, as referring to the same.

All terms hereof refer to the offer, acceptance, and consideration of payment necessary to undertake the process of our assistance to the user in the most appropriate manner for the express purpose of meeting each of our client’s needs in respect of the provision of AcedStudy’s stated services, in accordance with and subject to prevailing applicable laws for our delivery of service.

Henceforth, by accessing this Site, you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms, all applicable laws and regulations, and agree that you are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws.  If you do not agree with any of these Terms, you are prohibited from using or accessing this Site.  The materials contained in this Site are protected by applicable copyright and trademark laws.  Please, ensure that you read it thoroughly, because, by using AcedStudy, you consent to these Terms.

AcedStudy offers students, parents, and educators a platform to share and expand their knowledge by engaging in peer-to-peer assistance with school work, collaborating to learn and grow knowledge together, thereby enhancing their studies and achieving academic excellence. AcedStudy makes this possible by providing a conducive platform where questions can be asked and answers provided on different subjects and courses offered in schools and colleges. This way, users learn from one another, and knowledge is not only assimilated, but also enhanced.

Accordingly, AcedStudy agrees to furnish its online services (the “Services”) to: (i) the visitors that browse the Site; (ii) registered users; (iii) users who are owners of education and school services; and (iv) any other users that have opened an account, all subject to the following Terms.  Certain features or services may demand that you enter into a separate and supplemental written agreement prior to use, in which case we will provide you them for your full review prior to any acceptance.

We are under no obligation to remove or delete content that you subjectively find objectionable or offensive. We promise to respond promptly to requests for content removal, consistent with our policies and applicable law.

From time to time, our Site and Services may contain hyperlinks to other websites.  These links are for your personal convenience and to provide you with further information that may be of interest to you.  The provision of such links does not imply any endorsement of such third-party websites (or their products and services).  Please review the applicable terms and policies of such websites, including their privacy and data collection practices.

We may place ads and promotions from third-party sources on the Site.  Accordingly, your participation or undertakings in promotions of third parties other than AcedStudy, and any terms, conditions, warranties, or representations associated with such undertakings, are solely between you and such third-party.  AcedStudy is not responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings or as the result of the presence of third-party advertisers on the Site.

User Code of Conduct.

Our Services may incorporate interactive discussion forums, public forum groups, bulletin boards, review services, or other types of public forums in which you or other users may post user-generated content (e.g., reviews, messages, videos, selfies, posts, and other content).

The Internet is not an anonymous means of communications, thus we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of any content that you provide to us via the Services.  Each piece of content that you post is intended for public review, and except for content expressly marked as private, most user-generated content that you share with us will result in such content being made publicly available for users in our Site and other third party websites, including search engines and social media sites.  Please remember that not all content can be marked as private.

Particularly for public forum messaging groups, there will be a list of attendees displayed.  This is important so that our users may know if other people are registered for the events which are between members.   There may be the case where few or no other members elected to enter the group, thus our users are always free to enter and leave any forum, group, or board.

AcedStudy hereby disclaims any and all responsibility for what happens in any public board group meetings.  Since we use third-party platforms open to the public, there may be no content moderation by AcedStudy or other users in AcedStudy groups.  AcedStudy expects that its users will behave with courtesy and common sense, but notwithstanding, if something offensive, uncomfortable, or otherwise objectionable happens, any member can leave the chat or video call immediately and report the problem to AcedStudy.

AcedStudy has the right, but not the obligation, to monitor any user activity and any User Content (e.g., names, photos, posts, feedback, images, comments, questions, answers, and other content) within our platforms in order to determine compliance thereof, and to edit, refuse to post or remove any material or content submitted to or posted on our Services that we find to be in violation of our Terms, Policy or that is otherwise objectionable.

You acknowledge and agree that we may report any activity that we believe may violate any law to law enforcement, regulators, or other relevant third parties, and that any violation of the aforementioned provisions may result in the immediate termination of your access to AcedStudy and our Services.

We reserve the right (but not the obligation) to monitor disputes between you and other of our users, but not with suppliers.

We reserve the right to screen any user-generated content to locate and delete any spam or deceiving coupon, code, offer or link to any product or service.  We will not tolerate, and we will not allow others to undertake through our Services or Site, any and all massive delivery of unsolicited bulk communications to our users or to any third party.

Any commercial electronic communication that you receive from us, our partners, licensors, suppliers, and affiliates will require your prior consent to such communication.  Our commercial communications will include measures in order for you to stop receiving them, usually through an unsubscribe link.  Please see our Policy for more information.

This section will apply to our mobile application software, which now or in the future might be distributed by AcedStudy via the Apple Inc. or Google Inc. (and their affiliates) app stores.  You hereby acknowledge and agree that these Terms are executed between AcedStudy and you, and not with Google or Apple.  Henceforth, the license granted to you for the App is also limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on an authorized third party device activated product that you own or control, and as permitted by the terms of use set forth in the applicable app store.

These Terms may not provide for usage rules for the App that are less restrictive than the usage rules set forth for licensed applications that otherwise are in conflict with, Google’s or Apple’s app stores terms of service or that otherwise are in conflict with their respective of use, the more restrictive term shall govern.

AcedStudy, and not any such third party app-store provider, shall be solely responsible for the App and any and all content thereof.  AcedStudy is solely responsible for the App, the Services, any content therein, and the User Content thereof.

As our end user, you hereby represent and warrant that you will comply with any and all applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App (e.g., wireless data carrier terms, Wi-Fi’s hotspot terms).

In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple or Google, and they may refund you the purchase price for the App only (if any); and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, neither Apple nor Google will have other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be our sole and final responsibility.

AcedStudy is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services with respect to the App, and neither Apple nor Google have any obligation to furnish any maintenance and support services thereof.

AcedStudy, and not Apple or Google, is the one responsible for addressing any claims of the end-user or any third party relating to the App or the end user’s possession and/or use of the App, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation, including in connection with the App’s use of the AcedStudy platform.

These Terms may not limit AcedStudy´s liability to the end-user beyond what is permitted by applicable law.  In the event of any third party claim that the App or the end user’s possession and use of that App infringes that any third party’s intellectual property rights, AcedStudy and/or the end-user, and not Apple or Google, will be responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.

You hereby acknowledge and agree that Apple and Google (and their affiliates) are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of these Terms, Apple and Google will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as third party beneficiaries thereof.

From time to time, we may use payment platforms provided by globally accepted third-party payment processors like Stripe and PayPal.  Accordingly, the processing of payments will be subject to the fees, terms, conditions, and privacy policies of such payment processors.  AcedStudy is not responsible for any and all errors, fees, and currency conversion fees by such payment processors.

Such third party payment transaction processors have enacted their own terms of use, user agreements, and privacy policies, which will govern their provision of services to you in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions. We recommend that you read their privacy policies to understand how your personal information will be handled by these providers.

If you elect to use a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then the third-party payment processors will collect and store credit card data.  Your purchase transaction data will only be stored only as long as necessary to complete your transaction with us.  After such an order or transaction is complete, your purchase transaction information will be deleted.

Users must provide us with valid and current billing information.  Except as expressly set forth herein, all payment charges are final and non-cancelable.  If we detect any chargeback or if any payment is not received by us or our payment processors for any reason, you will promptly pay us any and all amounts due to us upon notice.  Any failure or inability by us to process any payment hereunder does not relieve you from your payment obligations.

A chargeback is typically caused when a customer disputes a charge that appears on their bank or payment processing statement.  A chargeback may result in the reversal of a transaction, with the amount charged back to you.  You can be assessed chargebacks for: (i) customer disputes; (ii) unauthorized or improperly authorized transactions; (iii) transactions that do not comply with payment processor network rules or are allegedly unlawful or suspicious; or (iv) any reversals for any reason by our payment processor or the institutions handling the transaction.

When a chargeback is issued, you are immediately liable to AcedStudy for the full amount of payment of the chargeback, plus any associated fees, fines, expenses, or penalties (including those assessed by our payment processor or the financial institutions handling the transaction).  Accordingly, you hereby represent and warrant that you expressly appoint AcedStudy as your agent, with full power to recover these amounts by debiting your account or setting off any amounts owed to you by us.

If we are unable to recover funds related to a charge-back for which you are liable, you will pay us the full amount of the chargeback immediately upon demand; thus, you agree to pay all costs and expenses, including without limitation, costs assessed by our payment processor, legal fees, and other legal expenses incurred by or on behalf of us in connection with the collection of any unpaid charge-backs unpaid by you.

You can always contact our team with questions about our Services at support@acedstudy.com, and we will strive to answer them and work together in order to resolve any such inquiries.  You must provide us with full details of your service query, so we can clearly assess your concerns.

Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.  All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms or the use of any product or service provided by AcedStudy that cannot be resolved informally shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of these Terms.  Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English.  This arbitration applies to you and AcedStudy, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assignees, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under these Terms.

Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution.  Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (a “Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and the requested relief.  A Notice to AcedStudy should be sent to legal@acedstudy.com.  After the Notice is received, you and AcedStudy may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally.  If you and AcedStudy do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.  The amount of the award shall also be limited by the Limitation of Liability section of these Terms, to the extent applicable.

Arbitration Rules.  Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Rules, an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section.  If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider.  The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with these Terms.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator.  Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (USD 10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the ADR Provider Rules.

Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of AcedStudy’s business premises unless you reside outside of Wyoming, and unless the parties agree otherwise.  If you reside outside of the State of Wyoming, the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time, and place of any oral hearings, as detailed below.  Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.

Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration.  If non-appearance-based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, reputable video conference based tools, and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration.  The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

Time Limits.  If you or AcedStudy elect to pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the ADR Provider Rules for the pertinent claim.

Authority of Arbitrator.  If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and AcedStudy, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the ADR Provider Rules, and these Terms.

The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and AcedStudy.

Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration.

Waiver of Class Actions, Non-Individualized Relief. You acknowledge and accept that claims brought against AcedStudy shall be only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any possible future class or representative action or similar proceeding.  Unless otherwise agreed by you and AcedStudy, you may not adjoin or consolidate any claim with more than one person’s; and you may not otherwise supervise or take over any form of a class, representative, or consolidated proceeding.

Applicable Law.  You agree to submit to the applicable laws in the State of Wyoming, United States of America, which will govern these Terms and any claim, without regard to conflict of law provisions.

Forum.  For the application of this arbitration agreement, and of other matters appertaining to these Terms, the parties hereto agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in the City of Sheridan, State of Wyoming, United States of America.

If you bring a dispute in a manner other than in accordance with this section, you agree that we may move to have it dismissed, and that you will be responsible for our reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, and disbursements in doing so.
