How does Exploros protect my privacy?

We only collect personal information through the Services from a child under 13 where that student’s school, district, and/or teacher has agreed (via the terms described in the following paragraph) to obtain parental consent for that child to use the Services and disclose personal information to us, for the use and benefit of the learning environment. If you are a student under 13, please do not send any personal information about yourself to us if your school, district, and/or teacher has not obtained this prior consent from your parent or guardian, and please do not send any personal information other than what we request from you in connection with the Services. If we learn we have collected personal information from a student under 13 without parental consent being obtained by his or her school, district, and/or teacher, or if we learn a student under 13 has provided us personal information beyond what we request from him or her, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a student under 13 may have provided us personal information in violation of this paragraph, please contact us at support@exploros.com.

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Compliance

If you are a school, district, or teacher, you represent and warrant that you are solely responsible for complying with COPPA, meaning that you must obtain advance written consent from all parents or guardians whose children under 13 will be accessing the Services. You are responsible for understanding how any third-party products that you install on behalf of yourself or other users may collect and use information of users of Exploros’ Services. When obtaining consent, you must provide parents and guardians with our Privacy Policy. If you are a teacher, you represent and warrant that you have permission and authorization from your school and/or district to use the Services as part of your curriculum, and for purposes of COPPA compliance, you represent and warrant that you are entering into these Terms on behalf of your school and/or district.

DMCA Notice: Notice and Procedure For Making Claims of Copyright Infringement

Exploros will respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). Copyright-infringing materials found on the Services can be identified and removed via our DMCA process listed below. You agree to comply with this DMCA process in the event you are involved in any claim of copyright infringement to which the DMCA may be applicable.

If you believe in good faith that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide Exploros’ copyright agent with the written information specified below. Please note that this procedure is exclusively for notifying Exploros that your copyrighted material has been infringed. Exploros does not and will not make any legal decisions about the validity of your claim of infringement or the possible defenses to a claim.

If we receive a clear and valid notice pursuant to the guidelines set forth below, Exploros will respond by either taking down the allegedly infringing content or blocking access to it. Exploros may contact the notice provider to request additional information.

Under the DMCA, Exploros is required to take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted the allegedly infringing content (“Alleged Infringer”).

Under the law, the Alleged Infringer is allowed to send Exploros a counter-notification. Notices and counter-notices are legal notices distinct from regular activities or communications as part of the Services. We may publish or share them with third parties at our sole discretion (in addition to producing them pursuant to a subpoena or other legal discovery request).

Anyone making a false or fraudulent notice or counter-notice may be liable for damages under the DMCA, including costs and attorneys' fees. Any person who is unsure of whether certain material infringes a copyright held by such person or a third party should contact an attorney.

To file a DMCA notice, the copyright owner must send a written letter by fax, regular mail, or email only. We reserve the right to ignore a notice that is not in compliance with the DMCA, and we may, but are not obligated to, respond to a non-compliant notice.

A DMCA notice must:​​

  1. Identify specifically the copyrighted work(s) believed to have been infringed (for example, “My copyrighted work is the picture that appears at [list location where material is located].”);
  2. Identify the content that a copyright owner claims is infringing upon copyrighted work. The copyright owner must provide information reasonably sufficient to enable us to locate the item on the Services. The copyright owner should provide clear screenshots of the allegedly infringing materials for identification purposes only. The information provided should be as detailed as possible;
  3. Provide information sufficient to permit us to contact the copyright owner directly: name, street address, telephone number, and email (if available);
  4. If available, provide information sufficient to permit us to notify the Alleged Infringer (email address preferred);
  5. Include the following statement: “I have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;”
  6. Include the following statement: “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed”;
  7. Be signed; and
  8. Be sent to our DMCA designated agent at the following address:

    Exploros, Inc
    Attn: DMCA Agent
    PO Box 81
    Wayland, MA 01778

    9. Does Exploros cost anything?

    The basic Exploros Services are free for teachers; we don’t charge for signing up for a basic, individual Exploros account. However, we may offer certain premium products and services for a fee, including Learning Experiences available through the Exploros website or the Exploros App. Student accounts are not permitted or enabled to download Learning Experiences from the website.

    What if I want to stop using Exploros?

    You’re free to stop using Exploros at any time. You can request that we delete your account by contacting us at support@exploros.com.; please refer to our Privacy Policy, as well as the licenses above, to understand how we treat information you provide to us after you have stopped using our Services.

    Exploros shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Customer and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns (each of the foregoing an “Indemnitee") from and against any and all Losses incurred by the Indemnitee arising out of or relating to any action by a third party, to the extent that such Losses do or are alleged to arise out of or result from: (i) Exploros' breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of Exploros under these Terms; or (ii) any gross negligence or more culpable act or omission (including recklessness or willful misconduct) in connection with the provision of the Services.

    Except for the Indemnity Exclusions, Exploros shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Indemnitees from any Losses caused by a third party claiming the Services infringe upon or misappropriate any United States intellectual property rights.

    Exploros will have no liability if the underlying claim made by a third-party is caused by or the result of: (a) modifications to the Services made other than by Exploros; (b) the combination, operation, or use of the Services with equipment, devices, software, or data not authorized by Exploros; or (c) use of the Services in violation of these Terms or any other written instructions provided by Exploros. Each event listed in the foregoing (a) through (c) is an “Indemnity Exclusion”.

    If Exploros’ right to provide the Services is enjoined or in Exploros’ reasonable opinion is likely to be enjoined, Exploros may obtain the right to continue providing the Services, replace or modify the Services so that it becomes non-infringing, or if such remedies are not reasonably available, terminate the Services without liability to Customer. THIS SECTION IS EXPLOROS’ SOLE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER’S ONLY REMEDY FOR ANY CLAIMS THAT THE SERVICES INFRINGE UPON OR MISAPPROPRIATE ANY PERSON’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR ANY OTHER CLAIMS FOR INDEMNIFICATION.

    Party’s rights without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent that the Indemnified Party shall not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay.

    No provision in these Terms shall apply to any consumer in New Jersey if the provision limits remedies for (i) negligence, (ii) merchandise liability claims, (iii) the punitive damages laws, (iv) the New Jersey Uniform Commercial Code, or (v) failure to reasonably protect against harm arising from certain criminal acts of third parties (e.g., computer hacking and identity theft).

    DISPUTE RESOLUTION: ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; CLASS WAIVER; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY

    1. WAIVER OF RIGHTS.

THIS COVERS ANY DISAGREEMENT, DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICES, USER-GENERATED CONTENT, OR ANY OTHER ASPECT OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH EXPLOROS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE (“DISPUTE”) EXCEPT THE FOLLOWING:

    • ANY DISPUTE FALLING WITHIN THE JURISDICTIONAL SCOPE AND AMOUNT OF AN APPROPRIATE SMALL CLAIMS COURT MUST BE BROUGHT IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND
    • ANY DISPUTE SEEKING TO ENJOIN INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.

    EACH PARTY MAY PROCEED IN ANY DISPUTE ONLY IN THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR MASS ARBITRATION.

    BY ENTERING INTO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, INDEPENDENT OF THE REMAINING PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS, AND BY AGREEING TO A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS OR MASS ARBITRATIONS, EACH OF US IS GIVING UP CERTAIN RIGHTS INCLUDING:

    • THE RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL. INSTEAD, WE WILL HAVE A HEARING BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND THE DISCOVERY AND APPEAL PROCESS IS DIFFERENT.
    • THE RIGHT TO PURSUE CLASS ACTIONS, CLASS ARBITRATION OR MASS ARBITRATION, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS.
    1. Good Faith Negotiations. We always prefer to resolve Disputes by negotiating in good faith. Either party may attempt to resolve a Dispute through good-faith negotiations. In the event of a Dispute, each party shall first send written notice of the Dispute, which includes your name, address, email address, phone number, and a description of the relief you are seeking (“Dispute Notice”). Within 30 days after delivery of the Dispute Notice (unless mutually agreed by the parties), the parties shall meet virtually at a mutually acceptable date and time. At no point during this time shall either party initiate litigation or arbitration, except for Disputes subject to injunctive or other equitable relief. If the Parties cannot resolve the Dispute within 60 days of the Dispute Notice, either party may pursue individual arbitration proceedings as described below.
    2. Mutual Arbitration Agreement.
      1. Arbitration of Individual Disputes. Any dispute that cannot be resolved through good faith negotiations must be pursued through binding arbitration on an individual basis as described in this section (the “Arbitration Agreement”). The arbitration shall be administered before a single arbitrator.
      2. AAA Proceedings. Either you or the Company may bring an arbitration proceeding. All arbitrations shall be filed with and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”). You may obtain instructions on how to file an arbitration with AAA by calling AAA at 1-(800) 778-7897 or online at www.adr.org, or we can assist you in contacting AAA.
      3. Scope of Arbitrator’s Decision Making. The Parties agree that the arbitrator shall decide all Disputes and all related issues, excluding (a) issues expressly reserved for a court decision in these Terms, (b) issues that relate to the scope, validity, and enforceability of the Arbitration Agreement, class action waiver, jury waiver or any of the dispute resolution provisions of these Terms, (c) issues that relate to the arbitrability of any Dispute, (d) whether a Dispute is barred by the statute of limitations or a contractual provision in these Terms, (e) issues related to the scope, application and enforceability of the waiver provisions that are for the court to decide or (f) whether a party authorized filing of a demand for arbitration. All other issues are for the arbitrator to decide.
      4. Final and Binding Decision. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding and will not have precedential effect. The arbitrator shall not have the authority to award damages outside of those set forth in these Terms. Any final award or judgment may be filed and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties will bear the costs of the arbitration in accordance with the AAA Rules. Any arbitration proceeding may not be consolidated or joined with any other proceeding.
      5. Applicability of the FAA. The parties acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1–16, shall govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement, and not state law.
      6. Confidentiality. The parties expressly agree that any and all actions taken under the Arbitration Agreement and related provisions, including but not limited to all filings, subject matter, orders, judgments, and awards made in any arbitration proceeding, are confidential and may not be disclosed to any third party.
      7. Survival. This Arbitration Agreement provision will survive the termination of these Terms.
      8. Mass Arbitrations. If 25 or more arbitration demands asserting the same or substantially similar claims, and seeking the same or substantially similar relief are submitted to AAA with the assistance or coordination of the same law firm(s) or legal entities against either party (a “Mass Filing”), the parties agree: (i) to administer the Mass Filing in batches of 10 demands per batch with only one batch filed, processed, and adjudicated at a time; (ii) to designate one arbitrator for each batch; (iii) to accept applicable fees, including any related fee reduction determined by AAA Rules in its discretion; (iv) that no other demands for arbitration that are part of the Mass Filing may be filed, processed, or adjudicated until the prior batch of 10 is adjudicated; (v) that fees associated with a demand for arbitration included in a Mass Filing, including fees owed by us, you and other claimants, shall only be due after your demand for arbitration is included in a set of batch proceedings and that batch is properly designated for filing, processing, and adjudication; (vi) that the staged process of batched proceedings, with each set including 10 demands, shall continue until each demand (including your demand) is adjudicated or otherwise resolved; and (vii) to make good faith efforts to resolve each batch of demands within 180-days, failing which any party may cease arbitration and file in a court of competent jurisdiction.

      9. Appointment of Arbitrator for Batch Proceedings; Procedural Arbitrators. Arbitrators will be selected in accordance with the applicable AAA Rules. The arbitrator will determine the location for each batch proceeding. The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith with each other and with AAA to implement a “batch approach” to provide for an efficient resolution of claims, including the payment of combined reduced fees, set by AAA at its discretion, for each batch of demands.

        The parties shall cooperate with each other and with AAA to establish any other processes or procedures that will provide for an efficient resolution of any claims. If the Parties cannot agree on a batching process, the parties agree that AAA shall appoint a procedural arbitrator. This “Batch Arbitration” provision shall not increase the number of demands necessary to trigger the applicability of AAA’s Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules or authorize class arbitration of any kind.

        Exploros does not agree or consent to class arbitration, mass arbitration, private attorney general arbitration, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances. The parties agree that this batching provision is critical to this Arbitration Agreement. If the batching provision is found to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, then the Batch Proceedings section shall be null and void, and neither party shall be entitled to arbitrate any claim that is a part of the Mass Filing.

      10. Mediation Following First Batch in a Mass Filing. The results of the first batch of demands will be given to an AAA mediator selected from a group of 5 mediators initially proposed by AAA. Exploros and the counsel for the remaining claimants have the right to strike one mediator and then rank the remaining mediators and the highest collectively ranked mediator being selected.

        The selected mediator is responsible for attempting to resolve the Dispute in the Mass Filing. The Parties will then have 90 days (the “Mediation Period”) to agree on a resolution or substantive methodology for resolving the outstanding demands. If the parties are unable to resolve the outstanding demands during the Mediation Period and cannot agree on a methodology for resolving them through further arbitrations, either we or any remaining claimant may opt out of the arbitration process and have the demand(s) proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction. Notice of the opt-out will be provided in writing within 60 days of the close of the Mediation Period. If neither party opt out and they cannot agree to a method for resolving the remaining demands through further arbitration, the arbitrations will continue with the batching process. Absent notice of an opt-out, the arbitrations will proceed in the order determined by the sequential numbers assigned to demands in the Mass Filing.

      11. Opt-Out. If you wish to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, you must provide us with your notice to opt out within 30 days of the first date you visit or use our site. You must send us a letter stating: “Request to Opt-Out of Agreement to Arbitrate” to:

        Exploros, Inc.
        PO Box 81
        Wayland, MA 01778

        If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms will still apply to you. This opt-out does not apply to the class action waiver.

      12. Modification. If we modify this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) days of our posting of the change, in which case we will terminate your Account, and you must stop using the Services, your Account, and the User-Generated Content.
      13. Enforceability. IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS DEEMED INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE, NEITHER PARTY MAY USE ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE DISPUTES UNDER THESE TERMS, AND ALL DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH LITIGATION.
      14. Applicable Law. Massachusetts law applies to any arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, but the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the Arbitration Agreement.
