  3. Modification of Terms:

    These Terms and Conditions, in the form posted at the time of your use of the applicable Program shall govern such use (including transactions entered during such use). AS OUR PROGRAMS EVOLVE, THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH REGION 6 ESC OFFERS THE PROGRAMS MAY PROSPECTIVELY BE MODIFIED AND WE MAY CEASE OFFERING THE PROGRAMS UNDER THE TERMS FOR WHICH THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY OFFERED. ACCORDINGLY, EACH TIME YOU SIGN IN TO OR OTHERWISE USE ANY PROGRAM YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A NEW AGREEMENT WITH REGION 6 ESC ON THE THEN APPLICABLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY NOTIFY YOU OF OTHER TERMS (THE “ADDITIONAL TERMS”) BY POSTING THEM ON THE WEBSITE'S TERMS AND CONDITIONS PAGE https://eduhero.net/terms.php (OR IN ANY OTHER REASONABLE MANNER OF NOTICE WHICH WE ELECT), AND THAT YOUR ACCESS TO ANY PROGRAM AFTER SUCH NOTICE CONSTITUTES YOUR GOING FORWARD AGREEMENT TO THE OTHER TERMS FOR YOUR NEW USE AND TRANSACTIONS. Therefore, you should review the posted terms of use each time you use any Program (at least prior to each transaction or submission). Additionally, Eduhero may require your affirmative consent for any new or revised terms prior to granting access to the Site. The Additional Terms will be effective as to new use and transactions as of the time that Region 6 ESC posts them, or such later date as may be specified in them or in other notice to you. However, the Terms (and any applicable Additional Terms) that applied when you previously used the Program will continue to apply to such prior use (i.e., changes and additions are prospective only) unless mutually agreed.

    Eduhero hereby grants each User a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable license to Access the content and information available in the OCC according to the provisions contained herein, and subject to the payment of the applicable subscription fees and adherence to these Terms. Whether the Subscriber receives a license to specific content depends on the subscription plan. The foregoing limited license: (i) does not give you any ownership of, or any other intellectual property interest in, any Content, and (ii) may be immediately suspended or terminated for any reason, in Region 6 ESC's sole discretion, and without advance notice or liability. In some instances, we may permit you greater access to and use of Content.

    Each Multi-User Subscriber may only allow its employees and agents to access the OCC. If the Multi-User Subscriber's license terminates, the Multi-User Subscriber's employees and agents shall no longer have Access to Eduhero. Each Multi-User Subscriber agrees that Eduhero may not be Accessed by more than the authorized number of Users purchased by the Multi-User Subscriber. Each User shall be authorized to Access Eduhero from any Internet connection.

    A Multi-User Manager selected by the Subscriber (the "District Manager") shall be designated to oversee and be responsible for the management of the User accounts, reports, and custom courses (if an additional subscription is purchased). The District Manager is also authorized to grant control panel access to campus managers, enabling them to access user and report information at the campus level. Additionally, the District Manager may assign district and campus reporters, who will have access only to the reports relevant to their respective districts or campuses. Control panel access for district managers is granted only upon request. Region 6 ESC is not liable for any actions or consequences resulting from users impersonating district administrators to gain unauthorized access.

  4. Reservation of All Rights Not Granted as to Content and Program:

    These Terms and Conditions include only narrow, limited grants of rights to Content and to use and access the Program. No right or license may be construed, under any legal theory, by implication, estoppel, industry custom, or otherwise. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by Region 6 ESC and our licensors and other third parties. Any unauthorized use of any Content or the Program for any purpose is prohibited.

  5. Fees; Renewal; Refund Policies:

    Region 6 ESC may increase subscription fees for a subsequent purchase at any time and for any reason. Region 6 ESC may terminate the purchase and these Terms if it is unable to complete the purchase based on inaccurate or outdated credit card information, inaccurate purchase order information, rejected payment of purchase order, or 30 days of non-payment of purchase order.

    Right of Access to the OCC granted under these Terms is effective only upon payment of the subscription fees.

    Single-Use User
    • One week, month, or year subscription plan(s) based on the date of purchase or receipt.
    • Subscription plans do not automatically renew.
    • Subscription fees charged are non-refundable upon purchase.
    • Discounts, rebates or other special offers are only valid for one purchase.

  6. Access to the OCC: Modification of Content:

    Region 6 ESC strives to provide the OCC to its Users on a continuous basis. To that end, Region 6 ESC will take all commercially reasonable efforts to provide uninterrupted Access to the OCC to its Users. However, from time to time, Users may be unable to Access the OCC due to conditions beyond Region 6 ESC's control. Such conditions include, but are not limited to: force majeure, acts of God, power outages, and the acts of computer hackers and others acting outside the law. Also, from time to time, Access may be unavailable due to software issues, server downtime, increased Internet traffic or downtime, programming errors, regular maintenance of the system, and other related reasons. In response to any unavailability of the OCC to its Subscribers, Region 6 ESC will take all commercially reasonable steps to ensure Access is restored within a reasonable period of time. The term “commercially reasonable,” as used in these Terms, shall mean reasonable efforts taken in good faith without an unduly or burdensome use or expenditure of time, resources, personnel, or money.

    Eduhero endeavors to provide the highest quality content to its Subscribers. To that end, Region 6 ESC reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change, modify, or discontinue any aspect or feature of this Site in whole or in part, including, without limitation, the content, availability, Access and the Terms of this Site.

    If we cannot resolve a Dispute as set forth above (or agree to arbitration in writing with respect to an Excluded Dispute) within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice, then ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING BETWEEN YOU AND REGION 6 ESC (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, REGULATION, ORDINANCE, TORT—INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FRAUD, ANY OTHER INTENTIONAL TORT OR NEGLIGENCE,—COMMON LAW, CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION, RESPONDEAT SUPERIOR, AGENCY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY), WHETHER ARISING BEFORE OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THESE TERMS, MUST BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. THIS INCLUDES ANY AND ALL DISPUTES BASED ON ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE PURCHASED THROUGH THE WEBSITE, ANY PROGRAM OR ADVERTISING AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE WEBSITE OR ANY PROGRAM. The Texas General Arbitration Act (Tex. Civ. Prac. And Rem. Code § 171) shall govern the arbitrability of all disputes between Region 6 ESC and You regarding these Terms (and Conditions) and any Program, including the “No Class Action Matters” Section below. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, EACH PARTY IS GIVING UP ITS RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR JURY. Region 6 ESC and You agree, however, that the applicable state law as contemplated below, shall apply to and govern, as appropriate, any and all claims or causes of action, remedies, and damages arising between You and Region 6 ESC regarding these Terms and Conditions and any Program, whether arising or stated in contract, statute, common law, or any other legal theory, without regard to any jurisdiction's choice of law principles.

    No Class Action Matters

    YOU AND REGION 6 ESC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR AS AN ASSOCIATION.

    Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. There shall be no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on any basis involving Disputes brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, or other persons or entities similarly situated. But if, for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in court as provided below. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, any and all issues relating to the scope, interpretation and enforceability of the class action waiver provisions contained herein (described in this “No Class Action Matters” section), are to be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the arbitrator. The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these class action waiver provisions.

    Jurisdictional Issues

    Except where arbitration is required above or with respect to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute or Excluded Dispute arising hereunder may only be instituted in the courts of the State of Texas sitting in the County of Walker. Accordingly, you and Region 6 ESC consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters and irrevocably waive any claim of “forum non conveniens”.

  18. Assignment:

    Region 6 ESC may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms and Conditions, in whole or in part, to any party at any time without any notice. These Terms and Conditions may not be assigned by You, and You may not delegate Your duties under them, without the prior written consent of Region 6 ESC.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 4, 2024
