Our Terms of  Service

(effective October 2024) 

By accessing or using the California History Teachers applications and services, whether through a software app(s) or website (our “Services”), you accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth below (these “Terms”).

Certain features of our Services may be subject to additional guidelines, terms, or rules, which will be posted with those features. We reserve the right, at any time, to modify, suspend, or discontinue our Services (or any portions of them). You agree that we will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of our Services (or any portions of them).

Creating an Account

Our Services generally require you to create an account. By creating an account, you represent that (a) all required information you provide is truthful and accurate; (b) you are of legal age to agree to these Terms; and (c) your use of our Services does not violate any applicable law or regulation or these Terms. When you create an account, you will be asked to choose a user name and a password for your account. You may not use a user name or profile that is used by someone else or that violates these Terms. We reserve the right to reclaim any user name that violates these Terms.

Your Account is Your Responsibility. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and for any and all use of your account. You should notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account or access to your password. You may not (a) use the account of any other user; (b) allow someone else to use or share your account (except as permitted above); or (c) sell, lend, or transfer your account, temporarily or permanently, to another person. If you violate these Terms, we reserve the right to issue you a warning, suspend, or even terminate your account (along with your ability to access and use the Services).

Monthly Memberships and Automatic Renewal

Full, continuous access to the curriculum and resources on the Services is only available with a paid membership. Limited access to the curriculum and lesson plans is available for free.

Automatic Renewal for Monthly Memberships. Monthly memberships will automatically renew at the end of each subscription term. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to cancel your membership before it renews if you do not wish to continue your subscription. If you fail to cancel before the renewal date, your membership will renew automatically, and your credit card will be charged for the next term’s membership fees.

Cancellation of Monthly Memberships. If you cancel a monthly membership, the cancellation will go into effect at the end of the current monthly term. You will continue to have access to the Services until the end of the paid term, at which point your access will terminate, and your account will not be billed for the following month.

Student Access

Our Services are intended for use primarily by teachers, parents, and other educational service providers. Anyone under 13 and/or not of the age of majority (“Students”) may access and use our Services only with the involvement of their parent or legal guardian, using their parent’s or guardian’s account.

Using Our Services

As long as you comply with these Terms, you may use our Services for educational and non-commercial purposes.

Fees. We charge fees for the use of certain products or services, and for access and use of certain content and features on our Services, which are described within the Services. These fees can change at any time. By selecting these products, services, and/or features, you are agreeing to pay the applicable fees assessed to your account and authorizing us (or our third-party payment processor) to charge your payment account or credit card for such purchases. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use all payment method(s) you provide to us. ALL PURCHASE ORDERS AND FEES PAID IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES ARE FINAL, NON-REFUNDABLE, AND NON-CANCELLABLE.

These Third Party Links are not under our control, and we are not responsible for their content, services, performance, operation, availability, business practices, or policies. We are providing these Third Party Links to you as a convenience, but we do not imply any endorsement or recommendation of their content or services, or any association with them. If you access any of these Third Party Links, you do so at your own risk, and any charges or obligations you incur in your dealings with these companies are your responsibility.
