1. General Information

www.schooX.com (“schooX” or the “Site”) is a private web-based online Social Edutainment Network which offers advanced online and collaborative learning and knowledge management tools together with advanced social networking features, where members can share and manage their knowledge in different ways. We offer our members the possibility to set up their own personal profile, create and publish their own Library, create and participate in groups, attend and publish e-courses, organize and participate in virtual classrooms and conferences, place and answer questions, send messages, perform searches and queries, transmit information through various channels, etc. (the “Service”).

schooX is owned and provided by Pheron Ltd, 90 Giannitson Str., 54627 Thessaloniki, Greece, tel. +302310590104, e-mail info@pheron.eu (“Pheron”, “we”, “us”), subject to the present terms of use. These terms of use ("Terms"), as they may be modified from time to time, govern your access and use of schooX and all of its services, and constitute a binding legal agreement (“Agreement”) between you as an authorized user of schooX ("you" or "User"), and Pheron Ltd. By using schooX, you confirm your acceptance of, and agree to be bound by, these Terms and Agreement.

2. User Information.

The personal information that you provide us with when you register with or otherwise use schooX, together with information regarding the manner in which you use schooX, will not be processed or disclosed by us except as permitted by this Agreement and our Privacy Policy. We may send you newsletters and e-mail messages to inform you of new products, promotions, features and helpful tips for our services. For more information, please review the schooX Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated into this Agreement.

In any case, please keep in mind that whenever you make your personal information available for viewing by third parties online - for example by putting it in your profile or contact information and allowing third parties to have access to it, by putting it on message boards, web logs, through email or in chat areas, etc - that information can be seen, collected and used by others besides us, e.g. to send you unsolicited communications.

3. schooX Registration

You agree to (a) maintain all equipment required for your access to and use of schooX; (b) provide us with current, complete and accurate information as may prompted by any registration form, and promptly update such information to always keep it current, complete and accurate; (c) maintain the security of your User identification, password and other confidential information relating to your schooX account; (d) notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security; and (e) abide by all applicable local, national and international laws and regulations in connection with your use of the Site and the Service, including those related to personal data protection, and be responsible for all acts or omissions that occur under your schooX account or password, including indicatively the content of your transmissions through the Service and any unauthorized use prior to your notifying schooX of such use and taking steps to prevent its further occurrence by changing your password.

It is technically impossible for schooX to determine with certainty whether any user registered with schooX is in fact the person he or she represents to be. Therefore, schooX assumes no liability for the actual identity of a user. Each user is solely responsible for checking the actual identity of another user.

Either you or we may terminate your schooX registration at any time, with or without cause. In any case, we reserve the right to cancel, suspend or refuse access to the Service to anyone in our sole discretion without prior verbal or written notice. After termination, you will no longer have access to your account and all information contained therein may be deleted.

Termination of this Agreement shall not terminate any agreement you may have entered into through the Site or the Service with another user of the Service.

All User Content is subject to review, modification and deletion (without notice) in our sole discretion, and we may delete any User Content we deem unacceptable for any reason without prior verbal or written notice. Furthermore, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to tag any User Content as questionable, offensive, inappropriate, unsuitable for any particular purpose, etc, or to display or insert any kind of warning towards the visitors of any part of the Site regarding any User Content on such part of the Site.

Moreover, we are not responsible for the contents of any linked site or any link contained in a linked site, or any changes or updates to such third party sites. The inclusion of any link or embedded third party content does not imply endorsement by us of the site linked or embedded and we are not responsible for any content or transmission received from any linked or embedded third party site.

By posting User Content to any part of the Site, you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to us an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, publicly display or perform, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part) and distribute such User Content for any purpose on or in connection with the Site or the promotion thereof, to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such User Content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing.

With the exception of any communications you may have posted using the public communication features of the Site (e.g. any public comments or content reviews you may have posted) and which may, in our discretion, remain in perpetuity on the Site, you may remove your User Content (not including, however, any derivatives created from any of your User Content or any parts of your User Content which may have been incorporated in other works) from the Site at any time. If you choose to remove your User Content, the license granted above will automatically expire (with the above-mentioned exceptions), provided that you acknowledge that we may retain archived copies of your User Content.

schooX does not claim any ownership or any intellectual property rights over any User Content which is the result of your creative efforts and which, as between us and you, subject to the rights granted to us in these Terms, will remain in your full ownership.

schooX respects the intellectual property and other rights of others, and we expect our users to do the same. If you have a good faith belief that any material on schooX infringes any intellectual property or other proprietary or personal rights of yours, you may provide us with written notice identifying the claimed infringing material and documenting the claimed infringement. Upon receipt of the documented notice, we will forward it to the user who posted the claimed infringing material for his actions. However, schooX may not be held responsible for any user’s action or inaction as a result of any such notification. In all cases, we ask those who assert claims of infringement and ask schooX to stop others from posting materials on our Site to stand behind their claims. By submitting a notification of alleged infringement to schooX and asking schooX to take down any material, you agree to indemnify schooX against all claims and damages arising from the removal of the claimed infringing material.
