This Agreement is between Lessonly, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Lessonly”), and the customer agreeing to these terms (“Customer”).

  1. WEB BASED SERVICE
    This agreement provides Customer access to and usage of an Internet based training software service as specified on an order (“Service”).
  2. USE OF SERVICE
    1. Customer Owned Content. All videos, audios, text, presentations, documents, quizzes, practice scenarios and other content uploaded by Customer or provided to Lessonly for upload, transformation and/or curation on Customer’s behalf (“Customer Content”) remains the property of Customer, as between Lessonly and Customer, and Customer represents and warrants that it owns or is authorized to use, reproduce, distribute, publicly display and/or perform and prepare derivative works of the Customer Content (and to grant such rights to Lessonly on Customer’s behalf). Customer grants Lessonly the right to use the Customer Content solely for purposes of performing the Services under this Agreement. During the Term of this Agreement, Customer may export its Customer Content only as allowed by functionality within the Service. More information regarding export functionality is located at: http://www.lessonly.com/contract-faqs.
    2. Access and Usage. Customer may allow its contractors to access the Service in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, which access must be for the sole benefit of Customer. Customer is responsible for compliance with this Agreement by its contractors.
    3. Customer Responsibilities. Customer (i) must keep its passwords secure and confidential; (ii) is solely responsible for Customer Content and all activity in its account in the Service; (iii) must use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to its account and notify Lessonly promptly of any such unauthorized access; and (iv) may use the Service only in accordance with the Service’s technical documentation located at lessonly.com and applicable law.
    4. Lessonly Support. Lessonly will provide customer support for the Service under the terms of Lessonly’s Customer Support Policy (“Support”) which is located at www.lessonly.com/support.
    5. Trademark License. Customer grants Lessonly a non-exclusive, terminable license to use the Customer trade names, trademarks and service marks during the Term of this Agreement only for the purpose of Lessonly performing under this Agreement except as provided on the Order Form. For clarity, this license permits Lessonly’s use of Customer’s logo within the application for whitelabeling.
    6. Application Program Interface. Lessonly provides access to its application-program interface (“API”) as part of the Service for no additional fee. Subject to the other terms of this agreement, Lessonly grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, terminable license to interact with the API only with the Service as allowed by the API.
      • Customer may not use the API in a manner, as reasonably determined by Lessonly, that exceeds reasonable request volume, constitutes excessive or abusive usage, or fails to comply with the API Policy located at https://docs.lessonly.com/#introduction or with any part of the API. If any of these occur, Lessonly can suspend or terminate Customer’s access to the API ona temporary or permanent basis.
      • Lessonly may change or remove existing endpoints or fields in API results upon at least 30 days notice to Customer, but Lessonly will use commercially reasonable efforts to support the previous version of the API for at least six months. Lessonly may add new endpoints or fields in API results without prior notice to Customer.
      • The API is provided on an AS IS basis. Lessonly has no liability to Customer as a result of any change, temporary unavailability, suspension, or termination of access to the API.
    7. Beta Services. “Beta Services” means any pre-production or test service or functionality. Beta Services are intended for evaluation purposes only and not for production use, are not supported, may contain errors, design flaws or bugs. Any Beta Services trial period will expire on the date that a version of the Beta Services becomes generally available without the applicable Beta Services designation or Lessonly discontinues/terminates the Beta Services. BETA SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS-IS.”
    8. Integrations. Lessonly may provide integration features that enable Customer to interact with third-party service providers (“Integration”). An Integration may be unavailable or may not work properly if a service provider’s interface is unavailable or if a service provider modifies its interface or service in a way that materially adversely impacts the Integration. Lessonly will use commercially reasonable efforts to modify its Integrations to maintain compatibility, but Lessonly may discontinue any Integration without liability if there is a change in the Integration or service that creates an unreasonable cost or operational burden to Lessonly. Customer’s obligations for the payment of fees are not conditioned on the continued availability of any Integration provided at no additional charge. If a fee is charged specifically for an Integration, and that Integration becomes permanently unavailable, Lessonly shall grant a pro-rata refund for such Integration to the Customer following the date of such permanent unavailability. A current list of such Integrations can be found at lessonly.com/integrations.
