THE SITE IS NOT AVAILABLE TO (A) ANY USERS PREVIOUSLY SUSPENDED OR REMOVED FROM THE SITE BY LANZA OR (B) ANY PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF 13 WHOSE REGISTRATION HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED BY A LEGAL PARENT OR GUARDIAN (OR, FOR SCHOOL ACCOUNTS, BY SCHOOL PERSONNEL AS PERMITTED UNDER THE TERMS).
1.1 By clicking the “I Agree” button or by otherwise using or registering an account for the Services, you represent that (i) you are a Mexican resident at least 13 years of age, or (ii) you are not a Mexican resident, and are of legal age of consent to open an account under the laws of your country of residence, or (iii) your use of the Services has been approved by your parent or legal guardian, or by your school or teacher for school use. You also represent that you have not been previously suspended or removed from the Services by LANZA, and that your registration and your use of the Services is in compliance with any and all applicable laws.
1.2 Account. In order to use certain features of the Services, you must register for an account. You may be asked to provide a password in connection with your account. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password. You agree that the information you provide to LANZA, whether at registration or at any other time, will be true, accurate, current, and complete. You also agree that you will ensure that this information is kept accurate and up-to-date at all times. If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure (e.g., in the event of a loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure or use of your account ID or password), then you agree to immediately notify LANZA at support@lanzajudicial.org. You may be liable for the losses incurred by LANZA or others due to any unauthorized use of your Services account.
1.3 Integrated Service. LANZA may permit you to register for the Services through, or otherwise associate your LANZA account with, certain third party social networking or integrated services, such as Facebook Connect and Google (“Integrated Service“). By registering for the Services using (or otherwise granting access to) an Integrated Service, you agree that LANZA may access your Integrated Service’s account information, and may store and use certain information already associated with the Integrated Service consistent with our Privacy Policy, and you agree to any and all terms and conditions of the Integrated Service regarding your use of the Services via the Integrated Service. You may revoke LANZA’s access to your account on any Integrated Service at any time by updating the appropriate account settings of the respective Integrated Service. You should check your privacy settings on each Integration Service to understand and change the information sent to us through each Integration Service. You agree that any Integrated Service is a Reference Site (as defined below) and you are solely responsible for your interactions with the Integrated Service as a result of accessing the Services through the Integrated Service. LANZA does not control the practices of Integrated Services, and you are advised to read the Privacy Policy and terms and conditions of any Integrated Service that you use to understand their practices.
1.4 Child User. If you are under the age of 13 (a “Child User“), you may not create or register an account for the Services without consent and approval from your legal parent or guardian, or from your school as provided in Section 1.6 (“School Use”). If you are under the age of 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to the Terms on your behalf. Except for accounts created for School Use as provided in Section 1.6, a Child User that begins the registration process for himself or herself without a Parent User (as defined below) may have the registration process restricted until a parent approves or assumes responsibility for the Child User account. A Child User may use the Services if registered through certain educational organizations or, in certain cases, by School Personnel that have entered into a relationship directly with LANZA, so long as the education organization has obtained parent or guardian consent, or has complied with an exemption to parent consent requirements under applicable law. A Child User will only be permitted to use the Services for so long as LANZA reasonably believes that such access has been consented to by the Child User’s parent or guardian, or by School Consent (as discussed in Section 1.6, “School Use”).
1.5 Parent User. If you are at least 18 years of age and you are the legal parent or guardian of a child that seeks to register as a Child User of the Services, you may register a parent account on the Services (“Parent User”). Through a Parent User account, you may create, register, manage and approve Child User accounts only for your own child(ren) or child(ren) for whom you are a legal guardian. IF YOU REGISTER, APPROVE OR CONSENT TO THE REGISTRATION OF, OR OTHERWISE ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY CHILD USER, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE SUCH CHILD USER’S LEGAL PARENT OR GUARDIAN AND YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS ON BEHALF OF SUCH CHILD USER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION BEING LIABLE FOR ALL USE OF THE SITE BY THE CHILD USER. You acknowledge that LANZA may choose, but is not obligated, to make any inquiries, either directly or through third parties, that LANZA deems necessary to validate your registration information, including without limitation engaging third parties to provide verification services. LANZA reserves all rights to take legal actions against anyone who misrepresents personal information or is otherwise untruthful about their identity. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT LANZA CANNOT GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY OF ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY ANY USER AND LANZA IS NOT OBLIGATED TO VERIFY THE IDENTITY OF ANY USER, INCLUDING ANY USER’S CLAIM TO BE A PARENT USER, OR TO VERIFY THAT A PARENT IDENTIFIED BY A CHILD USER OR OTHER PARTY DURING REGISTRATION IS SUCH CHILD USER’S ACTUAL PARENT OR GUARDIAN. A Parent User account, along with all associated Child User accounts, may be terminated by LANZA at any time and without warning for any failure to abide by these Terms.
1.6 School Use. LANZA may make available certain features and tools that permit Users registered as teachers, school leaders, aides, or other similar school personnel (“School Personnel”) to work with students and other Users through the Services in order to provide such students with tutorial, educational and other education-related services as part of the school’s curriculum, and to review and evaluate educational achievement and progress of such students. If you are School Personnel accessing the Services on behalf of a school, school district, or other similar educational institution (an “Institution”), the following terms apply to you:
(a) Limitations on Use. The Services and Site are provided to you for educational purposes as part of the school curriculum. You must use the Services and the Site in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or otherwise exploit for any commercial purpose, any portion of the Services, the Site, or access to the Services or Site.
(b) Responsibility for Consent and Notices. You and/or the Institution assume sole responsibility for obtaining any consents required from parents or guardians, and for providing appropriate disclosures to School Users and their parents regarding the School Users’ use of the Services, our Terms, and our Privacy Policy. You agree to be bound by these Terms on behalf of the School User, for so long as the School User account is not transferred to or assumed by a valid Parent User account or personal account for a Student of eligible age. IF YOU ARE SCHOOL PERSONNEL AND YOU REGISTER AN ACCOUNT FOR A CHILD USER OR OTHER STUDENT (EITHER, A “SCHOOL USER”) OR DIRECT A SCHOOL USER TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT FOR SCHOOL USE, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE EITHER RECEIVED EXPRESS CONSENT FROM SUCH SCHOOL USER’S PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN OR THAT YOU (OR YOUR INSTITUTION) HAVE COMPLIED AND WILL COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF AN EXEMPTION FROM OR EXCEPTION TO PARENTAL CONSENT REQUIREMENTS, NECESSARY FOR YOU TO REGISTER THE SCHOOL USER FOR THE SITE AND PROVIDE TO LANZA THE INFORMATION YOU DISCLOSE IN CONNECTION WITH THE REGISTRATION OF SUCH SCHOOL USER. Specifically you agree, individually and on behalf of the Institution, that:
i) You are familiar with and agree to be responsible for compliance with all applicable laws, rules or regulations concerning the collection, use, and disclosure of personally identifiable information about Users in your Institution (collectively, “Applicable Privacy Law”).
(ii) You assume sole responsibility (and hereby agree that LANZA is not responsible for) for providing appropriate notices and disclosures to students using LANZA for classroom use (“Students” or “Student Users”) and their parents regarding Student use of the Site, our Terms, and our Privacy Policy, including any notices required by Applicable Privacy Law.
(iii) You assume sole responsibility (and hereby agree that LANZA is not responsible) for obtaining any consents required from parents or guardians, to the extent required under Applicable Privacy Law, in connection with the Services, use of the Site for classroom use (including use of Linked Accounts referred to in Section 1.8), and disclosure of personally identifiable information to LANZA in connection therewith. You represent and warrant to LANZA that, prior to creation of accounts for School Use, you have either obtained all necessary parent or guardian consents, or have complied and will comply with all applicable requirements of an exemption from or exception to parental consent requirements as permitted by Applicable Privacy Law.
We refer to this as “School Consent”. If a Parent User does not consent or rescinds such School Consent, School Personnel or the Institution shall immediately notify LANZA to discontinue that Student’s access to the Services and ensure that such Student’s information is no longer accessible through the Services. Under no circumstances will LANZA be liable for the School Personnel’s failure to consult their school’s authorities and administrators or for failing to obtain School Consent when required.
(c) Identification of School Accounts. Students and School Personnel may have personal accounts, in addition to accounts established for use in the classroom and associated with the Institution’s use of the Services (“School Accounts”). If the Institution has a separate written service agreement with LANZA that includes rostering services for your Institution, accounts provided for classroom use will be School Accounts. In other cases, in order for accounts established for use in the classroom to be designated as “School Accounts,” the accounts must be (1) created by School Personnel (for example, when a teacher creates the user name, login and password to establish School Accounts, or when the teacher rosters a class using Google Classroom, Clever, or similar Integrated Service (to the extent we support use of such Integrated Service)), or (2) created by a School User at the direction of a School, in each case, using a School email address and associated with a School’s class on the Service. User accounts created with a personal email address will not be considered School Accounts, and will be administered as personal accounts. If you have questions about how to create School Accounts that are associated with a School’s class on the Service, please contact our customer support team at support@lanzajudicial.org.
(d) Use of Integrated Services in School Accounts. If you are School Personnel and you choose to allow your students to log in on the Services using an Integrated Service, such as Google Classroom or Clever (to the extent we support use of such Integrated Service), you are responsible for educating your students on the proper use of Integrated Services and protecting their accounts. See Section 1.3.
1.7 Coaches. LANZA may make available certain features and tools that allow Users to add “Coaches” to their account.
(a) Coaching features are provided to allow any User to give another User, such as an attorney coach, the ability to view the activity in their LANZA account in order to provide them with tutoring or coaching help on LANZA. In these Terms, we refer to any User that you connect to your LANZA account (other than School Personnel and Parent Users, who have different account permissions) as a “Coach”. A Parent User associated with a Child User can disable the coaching feature upon account creation, or in the Child’s User’s account settings.
(b) If you are a Coach, the following provisions apply to you. You may use LANZA features and tools only for purposes of providing tutoring, coaching or other education-related assistance to a User that has an account established and existing pursuant to these Terms. COACHES ARE NOT PERMITTED TO CREATE OR REGISTER ACCOUNTS FOR ANY OTHER USER. In order to begin coaching relationship, the student or other User you wish to coach must either have a pre-existing account on the Services, or must establish an account pursuant to these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT REGISTRATION OF AN ACCOUNT BY OR FOR A CHILD USER REQUIRES CONSENT FROM SUCH USER’S PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN. COACHES MAY NOT PROVIDE THIS CONSENT DIRECTLY OR ON BEHALF OF THE PARENT OR GUARDIAN. You must use the Services and the Site in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
1.8 Linked Accounts. LANZA may permit a User to associate a personal account with their School Account, by using the login credentials associated with a personal account to join a class or use the account for school-directed learning. If a User chooses to associate a personal account with their School Account, the two accounts will be deemed “Linked” Accounts, and the User’s learning activity (information regarding use of the Site generated by the User through use of the Site), whether generated during or outside of the school use, may be viewed by any person with access to either account. “Linked” Accounts are not separately functioning accounts; they permit access to a singular LANZA account using more than one account interface or set of access credentials. Linked Accounts may benefit Students who want to use the Site for both personal and school purposes, by allowing School Personnel to have a deeper understanding of Student progress, and by allowing Users to keep track of all of their LANZA learning activity on an aggregate basis. The User’s election to enable account linking must be made, if at all, in connection with the initial account registration and rostering process for a given school year. Once accounts are linked, they cannot be separated. LANZA may (but is not required to) enable linking of accounts as described herein. Upon any termination of the School Account by authorized School Personnel, the User’s learning activity (including any learning activity from school use) will be retained in any Linked personal account.
1.9 School Districts. LANZA may enter into supplemental written agreements with school districts with respect to use of the Services on a district-wide basis (“District Agreements“). Pursuant to District Agreements, we may provide additional services to school districts, and/or may provide additional undertakings to school districts with respect to the Services. Except as otherwise provided in a District Agreement, these Terms remain in effect for all individual Users of the Services in the relevant district.
1.10 International Use. LANZA operates the Services in the United Mexican States (“Mexico”). If you choose to access our Services from locations outside Mexico, you consent to the collection, transmission, use, storage and processing of content and data (including your personal information) in Mexico. You also agree to comply with and are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with all local laws, regulations, and rules in the jurisdiction in which you reside or access the Services, if and to the extent local laws are applicable to use of our Services. If you are under the age of 18, you confirm that you have received parental consent, if required in your jurisdiction, to open an account for Service and enter into these Terms. Unless we have entered into a separate, mutually executed written agreement with you that says otherwise, we do not represent that our Services are appropriate or available for use in jurisdictions outside of Mexico. The right to access and use the Services is not granted in jurisdictions, if any, where it may be prohibited, or where your use would render LANZA in violation of any applicable laws or regulations, including without limitation, Applicable Privacy Laws.
2. Privacy Policy. Your privacy is important to LANZA. Please read the LANZA Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated into these Terms (and which are part of our contract with you), carefully for information relating to LANZA’s collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information. Among other things, our Privacy Policy explains how we treat your personal information and protect your privacy when you use our Services, and explains the procedures by which Users, Parent Users and School Personnel may view, update, correct, or delete their account and personal information.
3. Other Guidelines. When using the Services, you will be subject to any additional posted guidelines or rules applicable to specific services and features which may be posted from time to time (the “Guidelines”). All such Guidelines are hereby incorporated by reference into the Terms.
4. Modification of the Terms.
4.1 General. Upon opening an account, you accept the Terms in the form posted on our site. LANZA reserves the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of the Terms at any time. Please check the Terms and any Guidelines periodically for changes that are made after you open your account. Your continued use of the Services after the posting of changes constitutes your binding acceptance of such changes. For any material changes to the Terms, LANZA will make reasonable effort to provide notice to you of such amended Terms, such as by an email notification to the address associated with your account or by posting a notice on the Services, and such amended terms will be effective against you on the earlier of (i) your actual notice of such changes and (ii) thirty days after LANZA makes reasonable attempt to provide you such notice. However, changes addressing new functions for a service or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must discontinue your use of the Services. Disputes arising under these Terms will be resolved in accordance with the version of the Terms in place at the time the dispute arose.
4.2 School Accounts. The following provisions apply to School Accounts in addition to the provisions set forth in Section 4.1 above. If a change with respect to how personal information contained in education records is used or shared has a material adverse impact on Student Users or an Institution, and the Institution does not agree to the change, the Institution must notify LANZA within thirty days of receiving the notice of change as described under the “Miscellaneous – Notices” below. If LANZA is notified as required, then the School Accounts held by that Institution will remain governed by the Terms in effect immediately prior to the change until the end of the end of the then current term of the Institution’s written service agreement with LANZA, or, in the absence of such an agreement, the end of the current school term. If the Services are renewed or continued after such time, they will be renewed or continued under LANZA’s then-current Terms.
5. User Content License Grant
5.1 User Content and Ownership. LANZA may permit (a) the posting and/or publishing by you and other Users of notes, questions, comments, ratings, reviews, images, videos and other audio-visual materials and communications (collectively, “User Postings”) and (b) the posting, creation, or modification by you and other users of materials (including lesson plans and study aids) (“User Files”) (User Postings and User Files, collectively, “User Content”). You understand that whether or not such User Content is published, LANZA does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect to any submissions. Consistent with Applicable Law, as between LANZA and you, you retain all ownership rights you have in any User Content you post or publish to the Services, and LANZA does not claim any ownership rights in or to such User Content. You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting, creating, or publishing such User Content.
5.2 License Grant to LANZA. By posting, submitting or distributing User Content on or through the Services, you hereby grant to LANZA a worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, assignable, fully paid-up, royalty-free right and license to (a) host, transfer, display, perform, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, use, make, have made, import, and otherwise exploit your User Content, in whole or in part, in any media formats and through any media channels (now known or hereafter developed, to the extent consistent with applicable law and LANZA’s Privacy Policy). Such license is perpetual and irrevocable, except to the extent required to comply with Applicable Privacy Law relating to ownership and control of your personal information, including education records. With respect to School Accounts, consistent with Applicable Privacy Law, as between LANZA and you, you (or your school, as applicable) retain all ownership rights you have in any User Content to the extent such content is an education record.
5.3 License Grant to Users.
(a) User Postings. By posting, submitting or distributing User Postings through the Services, you hereby grant to each User of the Services a non-exclusive license to access and use your User Postings in any manner permitted or made available by LANZA on or through the Services.

By posting, submitting or distributing User Files through the Services, you hereby grant to each User of the Services a non-exclusive license to access, use, reproduce, and distribute your User Files as fully permitted under, and in accordance with the terms of, the Creative Commons Attribution License (currently available at: the Creative Commons CC BY webpage) (the ” Attribution License“).
(c) Downloadable Content. The Services may permit you to download certain digital educational content (“Downloadable Content“). Subject to your complete and ongoing compliance with all the terms and conditions set forth herein, LANZA grants you, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to download, install, view and use the Downloadable Content, in object code form, on devices owned or controlled by you, solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to (i) modify or create derivative works of the Downloadable Content (ii) remove, disable, circumvent or otherwise create or implement any workaround to any copy protection, rights management, technical limitations or security features in or protecting the Downloadable Content, and (iii) remove any copyright and other proprietary notices on the Downloadable Content and all copies thereof.
5.5 Access to Your User Content. LANZA may permit Users to share their User Content with a select group of other Users, or make their User Content public for all (even non-Services users) to view. You acknowledge and agree that, although LANZA may provide certain features intended to allow you to restrict some User Content you create from others, LANZA does not guarantee that such User Content will never be accessible by others. In the event of unauthorized access, LANZA will use reasonable efforts to notify you pursuant to Section 15.1 below. LANZA HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO ANY RESTRICTED USER CONTENT.
5.6 User Content Disclaimer. You understand that when using the Services you will be exposed to User Content from a variety of sources, and that LANZA is not responsible for the accuracy, usefulness, or intellectual property rights of or relating to such User Content. You further understand and acknowledge that you may be exposed to User Content that is inaccurate, offensive, indecent or objectionable, and you agree to waive, and hereby do waive, any legal or equitable rights or remedies you have or may have against LANZA with respect thereto. LANZA does not endorse any User Content or any opinion, recommendation or advice expressed therein, and LANZA expressly disclaims any and all liability in connection with User Content.
6. Copyright Protection. It is LANZA’s policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement. For more information, please go to LANZA’s Copyright Notification Guidelines at https://lanzajudicial.org/cng. LANZA will promptly terminate without notice your access to the Services if you are determined by LANZA to be a “repeat infringer.” A repeat infringer is a User who has been notified by LANZA of infringing activity violations more than twice and/or who has had User Content or any other user-submitted content removed from the Services more than twice.
7. Proprietary Materials; Licenses
7.1 Proprietary Materials. The Services are owned and operated by LANZA. The visual interfaces, graphics, design, compilation, information, curriculum materials (including unit plans, lesson plans or guides), software, services, content, educational videos and exercises, and all other elements of the Services (the “Services Materials“) are protected by Mexican and international copyright, patent, and trademark laws, international conventions, and other applicable laws governing intellectual property and proprietary rights. Except for any User Content provided and owned by Users and except as otherwise set forth in this Section 7, all Services Materials, and all trademarks, service marks, and trade names, contained on or available through the Services are owned by or licensed to LANZA, and LANZA reserves all rights therein and thereto not expressly granted by these Terms.
7.2 Licensed Educational Content. LANZA may make available on the Services certain educational videos, exercises, and related supplementary materials that are owned by LANZA or its third-party licensors (the “Licensed Educational Content“). LANZA grants to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Licensed Educational Content as made available on the Services by LANZA solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes. Unless expressly indicated on the Services that a particular item of Licensed Educational Content is made available to Users under alternate license terms, you may not download, distribute, sell, lease, modify, or otherwise provide access to the Licensed Educational Content to any third party.
(a) Alternate Licenses. In certain cases, LANZA or its licensors may make available Licensed Educational Content under alternate license terms, such as a variant of the Creative Commons License (as defined below) (each, an “Alternate License“). Where expressly indicated as such on the Services, and subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms, the applicable Licensed Educational Content is licensed to you under the terms of the Alternate License. By using, downloading, or otherwise accessing such Licensed Educational Content, you agree to comply fully with all the terms and conditions of such Alternate License.
(b) Creative Commons License. Unless expressly otherwise identified on the Services with respect to a particular item of Licensed Educational Content, any reference to the “Creative Commons”, “CC” or similarly-phrased license shall be deemed to be a reference to the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 License (available at http://creativecommons.org/licenses) (the “Creative Commons License“).
7.3 Non-Commercial Use. The Licensed Educational Content and Licensed Educational Code are intended for personal, non-commercial use only. Without limiting the foregoing, and notwithstanding the terms of any Alternate License for such Licensed Educational Content, the Licensed Educational Content may not be used, distributed or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose, commercial advantage or private monetary compensation, unless otherwise previously agreed in writing by LANZA.
(a) Impermissible Uses. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following are types of uses that LANZA expressly defines as falling outside of “non-commercial” use:
i. the sale or rental of (1) any part of the Licensed Educational Content, (2) any derivative works based at least in part on the Licensed Educational Content, or (3) any collective work that includes any part of the Licensed Educational Content;
ii. providing training, support, or editorial services that use or reference the Licensed Educational Content in exchange for a fee; and
iii. the sale of advertisements, sponsorships, or promotions placed on the Licensed Educational Content, or any part thereof, or the sale of advertisements, sponsorships, or promotions on any site or blog containing any part of the Licensed Educational Material, including without limitation any “pop-up advertisements”.
(b) Use Characterization. Whether a particular use of the Licensed Educational Content is “non-commercial” depends on the use, not the user. Thus, a use of the Licensed Educational Content that does not require that users pay fees and that does not provide an entity with a commercial advantage is “non-commercial,” even if this use is by a commercial entity. Conversely, any use that involves charging users in connection with their access to the Licensed Educational Content is not “non-commercial,” even if this use is by a non-profit entity. As an example, a for-profit corporation’s use of the Licensed Educational Content for internal professional development or training of employees is permitted, so long as the corporation charges no fees, directly or indirectly, for such use. Conversely, as another example, a non-profit entity’s use of the Licensed Educational Content in connection with an fee-based training or educational program is NOT “non-commercial” and is not permitted.
7.4 Crediting LANZA. If you distribute, publicly perform or display, transmit, publish, or otherwise make available any Licensed Educational Content or any derivative works thereof, you must also provide the following notice prominently along with such Licensed Educational Content or derivative work thereof: “All LANZA content is available at lanzajudicial.org“.

9. Third-Party Sites, Products and Services; Links. The Services may include links or references to other web sites or services solely as a convenience to Users (“Reference Sites“). LANZA does not endorse any such Reference Sites or the information, materials, products, or services contained on or accessible through Reference Sites. ACCESS AND USE OF REFERENCE SITES, INCLUDING THE INFORMATION, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES ON OR AVAILABLE THROUGH REFERENCE SITES, IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
10. Term and Termination.
10.1 Term. These Terms shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Services unless your account is terminated as provided in these Terms, in which case you no longer have the right to use the Services.
10.2 Termination by LANZA. LANZA, in its sole discretion, for any or no reason, and without penalty, may suspend or terminate any account (or any part thereof) you may have with LANZA or your use of the Services and remove and discard all or any part of your account, User profile, and User Content, at any time. LANZA may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing access to the Services, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Services or any account you may have, or portion thereof, may be affected without prior notice, and you agree that LANZA will not be liable to you or any third party for any such termination. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. These remedies are in addition to any other remedies LANZA may have at law or in equity. As discussed herein, LANZA does not permit copyright, trademarks, or other intellectual property infringing activities on the Services, and will terminate access to the Services, and remove all User Content or other content submitted, by any Users who are found to be repeat infringers.
10.3 Termination by You. Your only remedy with respect to any dissatisfaction with (i) the Services, (ii) any term of these Terms of Service, (iii) Guidelines, (iv) any policy or practice of LANZA in operating the Services, or (v) any content or information transmitted through the Services, is to terminate the Terms and your account. You may terminate these Terms at any time (prospectively only) by deleting your login account with the Services and discontinuing use of any and all parts of the Services.
10.4 Termination of School Personnel, Child and Student Accounts. Certain Users (e.g., Parent Users and School Personnel) may terminate these Terms with respect their account or to a Child or Student User account that was created by them or at their direction, as provided in this Section.
(a) Termination by School Personnel. School Personnel may terminate use of the Services individually and/or with respect to School Accounts created by such School Personnel at any time by contacting us at schoolpartnerships@lanzajudicial.org, provided, however, that an Institution may require satisfaction of certain requirements before School Personnel can terminate accounts created for school use. Prior to termination of School Accounts at the direction of School Personnel, LANZA may invite Users, or parents or legal guardians of Students, to establish and maintain a personal account for purposes of retaining any content generated or provided and owned by Users under these Terms (including such User’s learning activity). Any such Personal accounts will be established under LANZA’s standard account opening process, including parent consent for Users under the age of 13.
(b) Termination by Parents. As a Parent User, if you created a Child account on the Services and have a Parent User account associated with the Child account, you can terminate your Child’s login account through the account profile, or by contacting our customer support team at support@lanzajudicial.org, although we may need to verify your identity prior to taking any action with respect to the account. Parents of Students who are using School Accounts created by or at the direction of your Child’s teacher in school may first need to contact your child’s school to request termination.
