Your CLASlite account gives you access to the services and functionality that we may establish and maintain from time to time and in our sole discretion. We may maintain different types of accounts for different types of Users, including Users who are students or from non-profit or government organizations (“Student/Non-profit”) and Users who don’t qualify as student/non-profit (“Others”). If you open a CLASlite account on behalf of a company, organization, or other entity, then (a) “you” includes you and that entity, and (b) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to this Agreement, and that you agree to this Agreement on the entity’s behalf. By connecting to CLASlite with a third-party service, you give us permission to access and use your information from that service as permitted by that service, and to store your log-in credentials for that service.
You may never use another User’s account without permission. When creating your account, you must provide accurate and complete information, and you must keep this information up to date. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account, and you must keep your account password secure. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers and symbols) with your account. You must notify CLASlite immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. CLASlite will not be liable for any losses caused by any unauthorized use of your account.
By providing CLASlite your email address you consent to our using the email address to send you Site-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. We may also use your email address to send you other messages, such as changes to features of the Site and special offers. If you do not want to receive such email messages, you may opt out by clicking the option to unsubscribe at the bottom of the message, or sending an email to info@i-cultiver.com with “Unsubscribe me” in the Subject line. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, or offers.
There may be risks of dealing with people acting under false pretenses, because user verification on the Internet is difficult, CLASlite cannot and does not confirm each User’s purported identity in our discussion groups or on the site. We encourage you to use the various tools available on the Site, as well as common sense, to evaluate with whom you are dealing.
1. Subscribers: By providing a credit card or other payment method that we accept, you as the Buyer represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated payment method and that you authorize our third-party payment processor to charge your payment method for the total amount of your purchase (including any applicable taxes and other charges) (collectively, as applicable, a “Subscription”). If the payment method cannot be verified, is invalid or is otherwise not acceptable, your Order may be suspended or cancelled. You must resolve any payment method problems before we proceed with your Order. If you want to change or update your payment method information, you can do so at any time by logging into your account with our third-party payment processor. If a payment is not successfully settled and you do not edit your payment method information or Order, or account, as applicable, you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and, with respect to your Order, authorize us to continue billing the payment method, as it may be updated.
It is your responsibility to provide proof of your status as a student or an affiliate with a non-profit or government organization for the use of CLASlite free trial and for the discounted price. CLASlite reserves the right to the final decision on any disputes regarding your eligibility for free trial and any discounts. CLASlite reserves the right to terminate, cancel, delete your account, revoke access to the site and services if your information or document is incorrect, false, or not valid. If accepted, your status is valid for 12 consecutive months, after which you will be required to provide proof of status again. It is your responsibility to inform CLASlite of any change in your status to prevent any loss of service. If your status changes, you may continue as the “Other” type of Subscriber, unless your privileges or access to site has been revoked by CLASlite or any reason.
All prices on our Site and Services are shown in U.S. dollars and applicable taxes and other charges, if any, are additional. CLASlite reserves the right to adjust prices as it may determine in its sole discretion, at any time and without notice, including without limitation, as based on geographic or other criteria from time to time. Any such change in price will apply after the period of your current paid term. If you are on a monthly subscription plan, any change in price will apply for the upcoming month and your account will be charged for that and all consecutive months accordingly.
2. General. CLASlite reserves the right to withhold payment or charge back to your User Account any amounts otherwise due to us under this Agreement or amounts due to any breach of this Agreement by you, pending CLASlite’s reasonable investigation of such breach. CLASlite also reserves the right to withhold payment or charge back to your User Account any amounts subject to dispute, such as in the case of credit card charge backs, pending successful resolution of the dispute. To ensure proper payment, you are solely responsible for providing and maintaining accurate contact and payment information associated with your User Account. Any third-party fees related to returned or cancelled payments due to a contact or payment information error or omission may be deducted from the newly issued payment.
