AGREEMENT ON THE TERMS OF USE OF LITTERATOUT 

Date of last update: July 28, 2023

Introduction

INTRODUCTION

The term LICENSE designates the permission to use the Littératout platform and its resources via a teacher account,  granted upon payment of the subscription fee.

The term LICENSEE designates any person who holds a Littératout teacher/ parent account. 

This constitutes a legal agreement between you the LICENSEE and Littératout. To reflect the most recent terms of use,  this agreement may be subject to occasional updates.

 

Only the LICENSEE holds the rights to use the platform and its content (interactive activities, digital books, video clips  and printable activities) and this with their classroom students only. 

These rights are obtained by purchasing a subscription to the Littératout platform, via an individual or group package,  paid for by this LICENSEE or their employer. When purchasing such a LICENSE, an account is created for the  LICENSEE, in their name, to which they alone has the right to access and use. 

The Littératout LICENSEE thus becomes the holder of a LICENSE grating them the right to use the platform and its content for them alone and their group of students only. They are therefore prohibited from sharing Littératout content  with third parties (e.g, colleagues, friends, etc.), other than their group of students or from distributing or transferring the  documents available on the platform to anyone, whether in electronic or paper format.

In addition, the Littératout LICENSEE must keep their username and password confidential. They are therefore prohibited  from disclosing or sharing their login ID and the LICENSEE must not allow third parties (eg, colleagues, friends, etc.) to  use the login ID. Therefore, it is not permitted to use a single Littératout account to share with an entire school or with one or more other people. 

The LICENSEE has the option of creating an account for each student in their class, up to a maximum of 30 student  accounts (except in the case of a different agreement between Littératout and the LICENSEE). Each account created is  intended for a single student. Each student who uses the Littératout platform must do so through their own student  account and the LICENSEE must not allow several students to use the same account. In the event that a student is no  longer part of the LICENSEE's class, the latter must delete the student's account. In addition, the LICENSEE can add an account for a new student at any time. 

In the event that our system detects usage that does not comply with our terms of use, Littératout reserves the right to  deactivate the LICENSEE's account or cancel the subscription without notice. No refund will be made in such a case.
