Updated: January 19 2022 Please read the following carefully.
Welcome to the CTTL, brought to you by The Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning at St. Andrews Episcopal School, which does business as Neuroteach Global, and which will be referred to here as “Neuroteach Global”, “Neuroteach Global Student”, “NTG” or “NTGS” the “Organization,” or by words such as “us,” “we,” or “our.” As used here, the term “Website” means www.neuroteach.us, and/or cttl.myabsorb.com and the term “App” means, collectively, applications and content provided by the Organization for use on mobile, tablet, laptop, desktop, or other devices. The Website and the App will enable you to browse, purchase licenses to, and use, in digital form, the micro-courses and any related content available through the Website or the App (“Digital Content”). The term “Service” refers to each of, and any combination of, the Website, the App, the Digital Content, and related Neuroteach Global services.
These Terms of Use (this “Agreement”) govern your use of the Service and is a legally binding agreement between you and the Organization. By using the Service, you agree that you have read and understood, and agree to be bound by, this Agreement. If you do not agree, you may not use the Service.
1. Other Applicable Terms of Use
This Agreement is in addition to End User License Agreements (each, a “EULA,” and collectively, the “EULAs”) or other terms (collectively with the EULAs, “Supplemental Terms”) provided in connection with the App, other components of our Service, or in connection with any of the products or features available through the Service. Such Supplemental Terms are incorporated herein and by agreeing to this Agreement you are agreeing to be bound by such Supplemental Terms, as they may be in effect from time to time, to the extent that you use the App, other components of our Service, or such products or features. For some components of our Service, we provide Supplemental Terms, localized for specified foreign countries or regions, that apply to such components or to customers in specified countries or regions. Those localized Supplemental Terms govern the services and the end users specified therein.
2. Limited License to Digital Content
Subject to your complete and ongoing compliance with all the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and any applicable Supplemental Terms (including, without limitation, payment of any applicable fees, including fees for Digital Content you license), the Organization grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access the Digital Content for your personal, non-commercial use. Such license does not confer on you any ownership interest in such Digital Content. Words such as “purchase” or “sale” (and similar terms, including all tenses), as applied to Digital Content (including any Digital Content the Organization makes available for free), refer to the grant to you of a limited license as described herein.
3. Limitations on Use
- You may not sell, rent, lease, lend, transfer, assign, sublicense, share any rights to, reproduce, distribute, publicly display or perform, modify, or prepare any derivative work for any of the content accessed or delivered on the Service, or publish or otherwise make the Service available to others. You may not, and may not encourage, authorize, or assist others to, (a) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or in any way access or attempt to access the content or source code for the Service, or make or attempt to make any modification to the Service, (b) modify, defeat, interfere with, or circumvent any feature of the Service, including any security or access control mechanism, including features requiring payment or the applicable purchase price for any Digital Content, (c) attempt to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the Service or to breach any security or authentication measures, regardless of your motives or intent, (d) attempt to damage, interfere with, or disrupt the Service to any user, processor, host or network, including by submitting a virus, worm, or Trojan horse, (e) attempt to disguise the origin of any message or transmittal that you send to or through the Service, including by forging headers or otherwise manipulating identifiers, (f) pretend that you are, or that you represent, someone else or impersonate any other individual or entity, (g) intercept any system data, personal information, or other data relating to the Service, (h) remove any proprietary notices or labels on the Digital Content or other components of the Service, (i) access or use the Service for any unlawful purpose, (j) take any action that would impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our network or other infrastructure, or (k) use or launch any automated system, including any “deeplink”, “page-scrape”, “robot,” “spider,” “offline readers,” or other method or system that accesses, acquires, copies, or monitors any part of the Service in a manner that sends more requests to the Organization’s servers or other infrastructure in any period of time than a human being could reasonably produce in the same period of time by conventional manual means (provided that the Organization grants the operators of public search engines permission to use spiders to copy materials from the Website for the sole purpose of creating publicly available searchable indices of the materials, but not caches or archives of such materials, and the Organization reserves the right in its sole discretion and at any time to revoke such permission either generally or in specific cases).
- The Organization reserves the right to revoke your license to the Digital Content if you violate the terms of this Agreement, any applicable Supplemental Terms, or the Organization cannot lawfully continue to permit such license. You acknowledge and agree that Digital Content may not be available to view, use or display under certain conditions, such as due to restrictions imposed by owners or licensors of Digital Content or if the Organization or the owner or licensor of the Digital Content no longer has the legal rights necessary to authorize distribution of that Digital Content. The Organization may modify or discontinue the offering of any Digital Content at any time. If a unit of Digital Content becomes unavailable before you access it but after you purchase it, your sole and exclusive remedy, and the Organization’s sole and exclusive obligation, is a prorated credit in the amount of the purchase price paid toward the purchase of other Neuroteach Digital Content. Any unauthorized use by you of the Digital Content automatically terminates the license set forth in this Agreement, without prejudice to any other remedies provided by applicable law or this Agreement.
- If you are prohibited under applicable law from using the Service you may not use it.
- You must be at least thirteen (13) years old to use the Service, except to the extent that a different minimum age is stated in any applicable Supplemental Terms, in which case such different minimum age applies to the services covered by such Supplemental Terms. Use of the Service by anyone under the age of thirteen (13) (or under such other age as may apply under applicable Supplemental Terms) is unauthorized and unlicensed. In all cases, if you are under eighteen (18) years old, you may only use the Service with the approval of your parents or guardian.
- Access to each micro-course license expires 12 months from the date of purchase. Any performance data including activities, progress, results, levels, micro-certifications, badges and all other metrics from participation in an expired micro-course will remain in your account after the expiration of a micro-course license, in as much as your account remains in good standing.

18. Disputes
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Service, or to any products or services sold or distributed by or through us will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, please send notification to:
neuroteach@thecttl.com (subject: Arbitration Process)
We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

21. Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unimpaired and remain in full force and effect, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision shall be amended to achieve as closely as possible the common intentions of the parties as expressed in the original term.
