The New School and Parsons Entrepreneur Academy and their respective successors and assigns (“we,” “us,” or “our”) welcome you. Parsons Entrepreneur Academy provides a suite of offerings including learning programs, networking opportunities, and mentorship opportunities for creative entrepreneurs. We have agreed with our partners to maintain websites and subdomains for our collection of offerings (collectively, the “Sites”) in furtherance of our mission.
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the Sites, including the web content, products, technology, and services provided by us and available on the Sites (collectively the “Services”). Please read these Terms carefully before accessing the Services as they govern use of the Services by all persons and entities, including you (each a “User”), and constitute an agreement between you and us. By accessing the Services, you signify that you have read the Terms and agree to be bound by them, as well as by any applicable laws and regulations.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Each time you use any of the Services, the current version of the Terms will apply. Accordingly, when you use the Services, you should check the date of the Terms (which appears at the bottom of this page) and review any changes. If you do not agree with the Terms, you may not access or otherwise use the Services. Where applicable under law, these Terms constitute a writing signed by you.
We respect the intellectual property rights of others, and we ask that you do the same. Except for any third-party content used as part of the Sites, the data and materials on the Sites, including without limitation, text, software, graphics, logos, photos, music, videos, and all other audible, visual or downloadable materials, as well as the selection, organization, coordination, compilation, and overall look and feel of the Sites (collectively, “New School Content”) are the intellectual property of The New School. New School Content is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws and all ownership rights remain with us. We reserve all rights in and to New School Content. New School Content may not be distributed, downloaded, modified, reused, copied, reproduced, transferred, displayed, reposted, transmitted, disseminated, sold, published, broadcast or circulated, or otherwise used without the express written permission of The New School.
We reserve the right to take any legal or technical remedies to prevent the violation of these Terms and to protect the Services, Users, and the rights and property of The New School and its affiliates. If you violate these Terms, your permission to use the Services automatically terminates and you must immediately destroy any copies you have made of the New School Content.
If you wish to request permission to use any New School Content in a manner otherwise prohibited under these Terms, please contact us.
You may have the option to view a limited amount of New School Content without registering with The New School, but as a condition of using certain aspects of the Services, you will be required to create a User Profile. By creating a User Profile, you agree not to share it with anyone. You acknowledge that we will treat anyone who logs in using your User Profile as “you.” We will provide this User with all the rights and privileges that we provide to you, and we will hold you responsible for all activities that occur under your account with or without your knowledge. Therefore, we recommend that you maintain your password in confidence and that you refrain from disclosing this information to anyone.
You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your password or User Profile or any other breach of security. We may, for security or other reasons, require you to change your username and/or password or issue new ones to you. We reserve the right to cancel your username and password without notice if we become aware of any breach of these Terms.
Certain Services may require payment. Payment must be made in full prior to accessing these Services. Charges are expressed in U.S. Dollars. Rates for Services may change over time and are effective the date they are posted to the Sites.
When you use a Service that requires payment, you will have the opportunity to review and accept the fee(s) that you will be charged. Failure to accept the fee(s) will prevent your access to the Service.
For Services that require recurring payments or subscriptions, you may cancel these at any time. You will have continued access to these Services for the duration of the period for which you have already paid, after which your access will terminate.
We do not offer refunds for Services purchased.
You are solely responsible for your conduct, and for any messages, notes, data, text, information, graphics, photos, audio and video clips, advertisements, listings, links, and other content, in any form (“User Submissions”) that you submit, upload, publish, post, or display on or through the Services. While we have the right to monitor activity and content associated with the Services, and may choose to prescreen User Submissions, we are not obligated to do so. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that we may use certain automated filters and other tools to block spam and to categorize and arrange User Submissions on the Services. We may, but will have no obligation to, remove or limit access to User Submissions originating from any User we believe in our sole discretion to be unlawful, abusive, harassing, fraudulent, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable, or that infringes or violates any party’s intellectual property or other proprietary rights or these Terms. Under no circumstances do we have any obligation to verify the accuracy, timeliness, or truthfulness of any User Submissions, nor to monitor any User on the Sites. You are responsible at your sole cost and expense for creating backup copies and replacing any User Submissions that you post or store on the Services.
You understand that we and our affiliates are not responsible for User misuse or misappropriation of any content or information that you post anywhere on the Services.
You understand that in using the Services, you may be exposed to User Submissions that you find offensive, indecent, or objectionable. You may contact us to inform us of content that you find objectionable. We may investigate the complaints and violations of our policies that come to our attention and may take action that we believe is appropriate, including, but not limited to, issuing warnings, removing the content, or terminating User accounts. However, because situations and interpretations vary, we also reserve the right not to take any action. Under no circumstances will we be liable in any way for any User Submissions including, but not limited to, errors or omissions in any User Submissions, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of, access to, or denial of access to, any User Submissions posted, emailed, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the Services.
In posting any User Submissions, you represent that you have all rights necessary to post such User Submissions without violating any intellectual property or other rights or any laws or regulations. You further understand and agree that by posting any User Submissions on the Services, or otherwise providing any User Submissions to The New School, such as any published project you create, or other materials you submit to us through the Services, you are granting us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, publish, translate, modify, adapt, and distribute that content (in whole or in part) for use in connection with or related to the Services, or any part thereof, for the full term of any copyright that may exist in such User Submissions, and that the foregoing license includes a right for us to make such User Submissions available to third parties, in each case without any compensation or obligation to you. You hereby further grant us the right to edit, copy, publish, and distribute any User Submissions made available on or through the Sites by you, for any lawful purpose. You also permit any other User to access, view, store, or reproduce any content or links posted on the Sites by you, subject to the Terms. We do not assert any ownership over any User Submissions. Rather, as between you and us, subject to the rights granted to us in these Terms, you retain full ownership of all of your User Submissions and any intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights associated with your User Submissions. Finally, you understand that we may use your first name when reproducing, publishing, or distributing such User submitted content (in whole or in part) for use in connection with or related to the Services.
You further understand and agree that we may preserve User Submissions, and may also disclose User Submissions, including personally identifiable information (notwithstanding the Privacy Notice), if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce the terms or any other applicable agreement or policy; (c) respond to claims that any User Submissions violates the rights of third parties; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of The New School, its Users, and the public.
