7. Materials You Post or Provide; Communications Monitoring

You may be able to submit materials for use in connection with the Service. We do not claim ownership of the materials you post or otherwise provide to us (including feedback) related to the Service (called a “submission”).

You also give the public permission to grant this permission to other persons. This section only applies for legal content, and to the extent that use, and publishing of such legal content does not breach the law. We will not pay you for your submission. We may refuse to transfer or may remove your submission at any time. For each submission, you must have all rights necessary for you to grant the permissions in this section. We consider your use of the Service, including the content of your communications, to be private. We do not routinely monitor your account or disclose information about your communications to anyone. However, to the maximum extent permitted by law, we may monitor your account and may disclose information about you, including contents of communications, if we deem it necessary to: (1) conform to legal requirements or respond to legal process; (2) ensure your compliance with this contract; or (3) protect the rights, property, or interests of EduTyping.com, its employees, its customers, or the public.

8. Software

We may provide you with software to use with the Service. If you receive software from us, your use of that software is under the terms of the license that is presented to you for acceptance for that software. If there is no license presented to you, then we grant you the right to use the software only for the authorized use of the Service. Copyright and other intellectual property laws and treaties protect such software and content. We reserve all other rights to the software. EduTyping.com or its suppliers own the title, copyright, and other intellectual property rights in such software. We may automatically check your version of the software.

You will not disassemble, decompile, or reverse engineer any software or any machine included in the Service, except and only to the extent that the law expressly permits such activity.

9. How We May Change the Contract

If we change this contract, then we will tell you at least 30 days before the change is in force. We will tell you of the change by e-mail or online posting.

11. Liability Limitation; Your Exclusive Remedy

You can recover from EduTyping.com only direct damages up to an amount equal to your Service fee for one month. You cannot recover any other damages, including consequential, lost profits, special, indirect, or incidental damages. This limitation applies to any matter related to the Service, any matter related to content (including code) on third party Internet sites, third party programs or third party conduct, any matter related to viruses or other disabling features that affect your access to or use of the Service, any matter related to incompatibility between the Service and other services, software and hardware, any matter related to delays or failures you may have in initiating, conducting or completing any transmissions or transactions in connection with the Service in an accurate or timely manner, and claims for breach of contract, breach of warranty, guarantee or condition, strict liability, negligence, or other tort to the extent permitted by applicable law. It also applies even if this remedy does not fully compensate you for any losses or fails of its essential purpose; or Tpying.com knew or should have known about the possibility of the damages. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. They also may not apply to you because your province or country may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental, consequential, or other damages.

12. Changes to the Service; Our Cancellation of Service

We may change the Service or delete features at any time and for any reason. We may cancel or suspend your Service at any time.

Once the Service is cancelled or suspended, any data you have stored on the Service may not be retrieved later. Our cancellation of the Service will not alter your obligation to pay all charges. If we cancel the Service in its entirety without cause, then we will refund to you, on a pro-rata basis the amount of your payment corresponding to the portion of your Service remaining right before such cancellation.

13. Your Cancellation of Service

Your cancellation of the Service will not alter your obligation to pay all charges. If you cancel the Service in its entirety, then we may refund to you, on a pro-rata basis the amount of your payment corresponding to the portion of your Service remaining right before such cancellation.
