It is the User's responsibility to check periodically for changes. Continued use of, or access to, the Platform following the posting of any changes to these Terms constitutes User acceptance of those changes.
1. Registration and User Account
In order to subscribe to our Platform or otherwise use our Services, individuals must register and create a user account (“User Account”). To set up a User Account, Users must provide a valid name, phone number, e-mail address, and credit card information. Users must also create a password and complete a community profile (together known as “Personal Information”).
Users represent and warrant that the Personal Information provided to Bluebird Teaching upon registration and at all other times will be true, accurate, current, and complete. Users must ensure that their e-mail address is kept up-to-date at all times. Bluebird Teaching is not responsible for any User errors made when creating the User Account.
Users shall be responsible for maintaining the secrecy and confidentiality of their password and for all activities that transpire on or with the User's Account. Users are responsible for any act or omission of any individual that accesses the User's Account that would be deemed a violation of these Terms. It shall be the User's responsibility to notify Bluebird Teaching immediately in the case of any unauthorized access or use of the User's Account or password, or any other breach of security. Bluebird Teaching shall not be held liable for any losses and/or damages arising from any failure to comply with this clause.
2. Fees and Payments
Users must subscribe to the Platform and pay a monthly subscription fee (“Subscription Fee”). Bluebird Teaching accepts electronic payment for the Subscription Fee (“Payment Method”). Bluebird Teaching may at their discretion make additional changes to the membership and membership tiers they offer.
Prior to any Subscription Fee increase or change in fee structure, Bluebird Teaching will notify each affected User through an email at the address associated with the User’s Account. Users will be able to choose and approve any changes in Service tier fees in advance should Service tiers become available. Non-response to notification of changes of fees will be an acceptance of the change and non-response to tier offerings will result in no change to the User’s Account. Further, any increase in Subscription Fees or any User acceptance of a new Service tier fee structure will be applied only to renewals taking place after the change goes into effect.
Bluebird Teaching strives to display accurate price information, however, there may, on occasion, be inadvertent typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions related to pricing. Bluebird Teaching reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time and to cancel any subscriptions or payments arising from such occurrences.
If a User does not pay the amounts owed when they are due, or if a User's Payment Method continuously fails, Bluebird Teaching may initiate collection procedures. Users agree to pay the cost of collection, including, without limitation to, reasonable attorney’s fees.
3. Shared Materials
Users will be able to share classroom materials for which they have the rights and permissions to do so, including original work, materials covered under “Fair Use” policies, outlines, concepts, workbooks or worksheets, and other relevant similar information or tools (the “Shared Materials”) at their discretion with other Users through the Platform. Other Users will be able to select, store, and download the Shared Materials through the Platform.
Users who select Shared Materials shared by other members of the community are authorized to use that Material for their individual use in their classroom(s) with their assigned students. The Shared Materials use authorization remains in effect for materials shared by Users who delete their accounts. Once a Shared Material is saved in a User's storage, it cannot be deleted except by the User who downloaded it.
Users may modify the materials in order to adjust them to their content and students’ needs and are allowed to reshare their modified work on the Bluebird Teaching platform only if it is significantly altered in content, not merely design. Users must not share or otherwise provide the actual link to the Shared Material as shared on the Platform. Broad use or transmission of selected Shared Materials or links, whether modified or not, is a violation of the Bluebird Teaching policy. Users who share materials on the Bluebird Teaching Platform agree that Users who download the material may share printed copies with colleagues for the purpose of team teaching or departmental lesson planning collaboration only, but may not disseminate copies beyond their school. Users agree to NEVER share personal login information with any other individual.
USERS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO USE THE "REPORT" LINK FOUND BESIDE EACH SHARED MATERIAL IN THE BLUEBIRD TEACHING "DISCOVER" SPACE IF THE MATERIAL APPEARS TO: INCLUDE INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT, BE IN VIOLATION OF COPYRIGHT LAW, OR BE A DIRECT COPY OF ANOTHER OWNER'S WORK FROM THE BLUEBIRD TEACHING PLATFORM OR ANOTHER SITE.

IF, AFTER ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW, A MATERIAL IS DEEMED TO BE IN VIOLATION OF BLUEBIRD TEACHING POLICIES, THE MATERIAL WILL BE DELETED. USERS WHO HAVE DOWNLOADED THIS MATERIAL TO THEIR STORAGE WILL BE NOTIFIED BY BLUEBIRD TEACHING OF THE NEED TO MODIFY OR DELETE THE MATERIAL — IT IS THE USER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FOLLOW THROUGH.
Bluebird Teaching is based on teachers helping teachers. Users must be able to trust other Users to not abuse Shared Materials. The User’s subscription includes easy storage and a wealth of opportunities to exchange information and collaborate on ideas in addition to the Shared Materials, so individual memberships become the lifeblood of the community. No User may act in a way that diminishes or circumvents the community or seeks to take advantage of another User’s good faith act of sharing their work.
Users understand and acknowledge that: (a) by uploading any Shared Materials to the Platform they are granting permission to other Users to store, download, and use the Shared Materials; and (b) Users may only download and use the Shared Materials for private and personal classroom use as defined above, and not for any resale or commercial use subject to certain rules and limitations as provided herein. Shared Materials that are part of the Bluebird Teaching community are not for broad distribution, posting online, or selling (whether for profit or not). Violating this agreement will result in the termination of the User's Bluebird Teaching account.
Bluebird Teaching does not own any copyright, license, or intellectual property related to the Shared Materials shared by Users. All Shared Materials are developed, created, modified, or otherwise owned by other Users or a third party, and Users agree that Bluebird Teaching is not liable for any inaccurate information or third party claim in relation to the Shared Materials.
