Terms of use

These Terms are like any other contract, and they have boring but important legal terms that protect us from the countless things that could happen and that clarify the legal relationship between us and you.

 

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) were last updated on May 7, 2024.

Please review these Terms carefully as they serve as an enforceable contract between us and contain important information about your legal rights, remedies, and obligations.

ABSULEARN’s mission is to improve lives through learning. We enable Abia state university lecturers  to create and share educational content (instructors) and to access that educational content to learn (students). We consider our marketplace model the best way to offer valuable educational content to our users. We need rules to keep our platform and services safe for you, us, and our student and instructor community. These Terms apply to all your activities on the ABSULEARN website, the ABSULEARN mobile applications, and other related services (“Services”).

If you publish a course on the ABSULEARN platform, you must also agree to the Instructor Terms. We also provide details regarding our processing of personal data of our students and instructors in our Privacy Policy. Our Instructor Terms, Privacy Policy, and other ABSULEARN policies applicable to your use of our Services are incorporated by reference into these Terms.

Our website and apps cause communications about your browsing and app activities and app usage to be sent from you to third parties who provide services to ABSULEARN. By using our Services, you consent to these communications.

Account

You need an account for most activities on our platform. Keep your password somewhere safe, because you’re responsible for all activity associated with your account. If you suspect someone else is using your account, let us know by contacting our Support Team. You must be a student or a lecturer at the Abia state university, Uturu

You need an account for most activities on our platform, including to purchase and access content or to submit content for publication. When setting up and maintaining your account, you must provide and continue to provide accurate and complete information, including a valid email address. You have complete responsibility for your account and everything that happens on your account, including for any harm or damage (to us or anyone else) caused by someone using your account without your permission. This means you need to be careful with your password. You may not transfer your account to someone else or use someone else’s account. If you contact us to request access to an account, we will not grant you such access unless you can provide us with the information that we need to prove you are the owner of that account. In the event of expulsion of a user, the account of that user will be closed.

You may not share your account login credentials with anyone else. You are responsible for what happens with your account and ABSULEARN will not intervene in disputes between students or instructors who have shared account login credentials. You must notify us immediately upon learning that someone else may be using your account without your permission (or if you suspect any other breach of security) by contacting our Support Team. We may request some information from you to confirm that you are indeed the owner of your account.

    you may be requested to verify your identity before you are authorized to submit content for publication on ABSULEARN.

Content Enrollment

When you enroll in a course or other content, you get a license from us to view it via the ABSULEARN Services and no other use. We generally grant you a lifetime access license, except when a course lecturer fixed his or her course expiration date.

Under our Instructor Terms, when instructors publish content on ABSULEARN, they grant ABSULEARN a license to offer a license to the content to students. This means that we have the right to sublicense the content to enrolled students. As a student, when you enroll in a course or other content, whether it’s free or paid content, you are getting a license from ABSULEARN to view the content via the ABSULEARN platform and Services, and ABSULEARN is the licensor of record. Content is licensed, and not sold, to you. This license does not give you any right to resell the content in any manner (including by sharing account information with a purchaser or illegally downloading the content and sharing it on torrent sites).

In legal, more complete terms, ABSULEARN grants you (as a student) a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the content for which you have paid all required fees, solely for your personal, non-commercial, educational purposes through the Services, in accordance with these Terms and any conditions or restrictions associated with the particular content or feature of our Services. All other uses are expressly prohibited. You may not reproduce, redistribute, transmit, assign, sell, broadcast, rent, share, lend, modify, adapt, edit, create derivative works of, sublicense, or otherwise transfer or use any content unless we give you explicit permission to do so in a written agreement signed by a Abia state university authorized representative. This also applies to content you can access via any of our APIs.

We generally give a lifetime access license to our students when they enroll in a course or other content, except when a course lecturer fixed his or her expiration date. However, we reserve the right to revoke any license to access and use any content at any point in time in the event where we decide or are obligated to disable access to the content due to legal or policy reasons, for example, if the course or other content you enrolled in is the object of a copyright complaint, or if we determine it violates our terms. This lifetime access license does not apply to enrollments via courses with expiration date or to add-on features and services associated with the course or other content you enroll in. For example, instructors may decide at any time to no longer provide teaching assistance or Q&A services in association with the content. To be clear, the lifetime access is to the course content but not to the instructor.

Instructors may not grant licenses to their content to students directly, and any such direct license shall be null and void and a violation of these Terms.
