Thank you for your interest in using the online services operated by IXL Learning, Inc. (hereafter called "IXL"). These Terms of Service govern your use of online and/or mobile services, websites, and software provided on or in connection with www.ixl.com (collectively, the "Service"), which are offered through (i) www.ixl.com, (ii) mobile applications associated with www.ixl.com, and (iii) any other IXL website, app or online service which links to these Terms of Service.
A note about Student Data: This Service may be purchased by providers of educational services, such as schools, school districts, or teachers (collectively referred to as "Schools") that use our services for educational purposes. When IXL contracts with a School to provide the Service, we may collect or have access to Student Data (defined below), which may be provided by the School or by the student. We consider such Student Data to be strictly confidential and in general do not use such data for any purpose other than improving and providing our Services to the School or on the school's behalf. Our collection, use and sharing of Student Data is governed by this Agreement and any applicable laws and regulations including, in the U.S., provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA"), the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") and applicable state laws.
The Service helps its users to learn and practice various subjects including mathematics, language arts, science, and social studies. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new or improved features to the Service shall be provided subject to this Agreement. You understand and agree that the Service is provided "as-is" and that IXL assumes no responsibility for any mistakes, errors, or omissions, including any unavailability of the Service or deletion or loss of any data relating to the Service.
IXL grants you a personal, non-transferable and non-exclusive right and license to use the Service. You agree that you will not copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, reverse assemble or otherwise attempt to discover any source code, sell, assign, sublicense, grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer any right in the Software. You agree not to modify the Software in any manner or form, or to use modified versions of the Software, including (without limitation) for obtaining unauthorized access to the Service. You agree not to access the Service by any means other than through the interface that is provided by IXL for use in accessing the Service.
To use the Service, you must obtain access to the Internet, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any service fees or other costs associated with such access. In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the Internet, including a computer and modem or other access device.
IXL does not sell the Service to children, but only to adults who can purchase the Service with a credit card or other permitted payment method. If you are under eighteen (18) years of age, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent, legal guardian, or at the direction of your School. Your School may impose additional policies regarding the use of the Service, with which you must comply.
If you open an IXL account to provide the Service to students in a School, you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the School with the authority to bind the School to this Agreement, and that you agree to this Agreement on the School's behalf. If you contact IXL to take any action with respect to an account, you represent and warrant that you have all necessary authority to request such action(s) from or on behalf of the account-holder (e.g., a School or Parent).
In consideration of your use of the Service, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration form (such information being the "Registration Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or IXL has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, IXL has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof).
IXL sells access to the Service to a subscriber in the form of an account. Each account is provided for a term and price subject to certain renewal, cancellation, and other terms and conditions specific to the account (the "Account Terms"). The Account Terms are identified (in order of precedence) in the then-current quote or sales contract for the account, the selections made and account-specific terms disclosed when signing up for the account (which may be confirmed by e-mail), the description of account terms accessible through the IXL website when signed in to an appropriate user associated with the account and the default Account Terms set forth below. Each account may have Account Terms in addition to or different from those as set forth in this Agreement, but only to the extent set forth in a signed writing by the account subscriber and an officer of IXL.
IXL provides a variety of "account types" which may apply depending on the subscriber and the way an IXL account is created. Each account type has a default set of Account Terms which apply unless superseded as set forth above. IXL reserves the right to provision accounts that do not belong to any of these default account types and/or to provision accounts with different Account Terms regardless of its account type.
Family Account — A family account is purchased by or for a Parent. Family accounts are generally only available for purchase through the IXL website or a third-party app store using a credit card. A family account typically includes child profiles that can be used by a Parent's child at the Parent's direction. Family account subscriptions are generally for a term of one month, six months, or one year. The term is disclosed at the time of purchase. If multiple terms are available, the term can be selected at the time of purchase or later changed by contacting help@ixl.com. Family accounts automatically renew. See Section 6 below for more information about automatic renewal and cancellation of automatically renewing accounts.
Classroom Account — A classroom account is purchased by or on behalf of a school, such as by a teacher. Classroom accounts may generally be purchased either through the IXL website, or by phone or e-mail. A classroom account typically includes a single teacher user and a small number of student users (which may vary depending on the purchase). A classroom account is typically for a term of one year. The term is disclosed at the time of purchase. Classroom accounts do not automatically renew. Action must be taken by the school or its authorized representative (e.g., teacher) to renew and continue using a classroom account past the end of the term. A classroom account is a type of school account. More information relating to school accounts may be found in Section 5 below.
Site Account — A site account is purchased by or on behalf of a school or school district. Site accounts may be purchased by phone or e-mail. A site account typically includes an unlimited number of teacher users and a set maximum number of student users (which may vary depending on the purchase). A site account may be for a term of one year or longer. The term is disclosed at the time of purchase. Site accounts do not automatically renew. Action must be taken by the school or its authorized representative (e.g., school administrator) to renew and continue using a site account past the end of the term. A site account is a type of school account. More information relating to school accounts may be found in Section 5 below.
Quotes and Proposals: Any quotes or proposals provided by IXL are valid only for a limited time and are effective only with the agreement of the relevant parties. Quotes and proposals may be withdrawn by IXL at any time in its sole discretion. Quotes and proposals may include information that is proprietary and confidential to IXL and to the maximum extent permitted by law may not be disclosed to anyone other than their intended recipient. By requesting and/or accepting receipt of a quote or proposal from IXL you agree to keep such quotes or proposals confidential, to not disclose such quotes or proposals to any third party, and to immediately return and/or destroy all quote and proposal materials upon receiving a request to do so from IXL. To the extent that public records laws may apply to a quote or proposal provided by IXL, you agree to immediately notify IXL of any public records request that may result in disclosure of an IXL quote or proposal and provide IXL all reasonable opportunities to take steps to prevent such disclosure to the maximum extent permitted by law and will reasonably cooperate with IXL.
Payments: School accounts have the option to make payment by credit card, check, or other methods at IXL's discretion (contact us for details). Payment must be received by IXL no later than 30 days after IXL issues an invoice. If IXL does not receive payment within 30 days, the invoice is past due and IXL reserves the right to suspend access to the affected school account(s) and take collection action. Suspension of an account does not relieve the account-holder of its obligation to pay for the account. IXL reserves the right to charge a late fee in the amount of 1% per month or the maximum permitted by law and its reasonable attorney's fees in securing payment of past due amounts.
Cancellation: Except as set forth below or otherwise agreed by IXL in a signed writing, accounts may not be canceled until the end of the current term of the account. Unless otherwise provided for herein, all cancellations requested before the end of the then-current term will be effective at the end of the current term.
In the event that the Service is permanently discontinued.
IXL otherwise permits early cancellations only to the extent required by applicable law. In the event of such an early cancellation, the parties agree that the account-holder is responsible for all amounts due and payable before the date of early cancellation without pro-ration or to the greatest extent permitted by law. The parties agree that IXL's efforts in selling, provisioning and providing an account are front-loaded and for that reason, pro-ration of fees in the event of early cancellation is not necessary or appropriate.
This Section 5 applies to a School's use of the Service.
When IXL is used by a School for an educational purpose, IXL may collect or have access to Student Data that is provided by the School or by a student. "Student Data" is personal information that is directly related to an identifiable student and may include "educational records" as defined by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA").
Compliance with Laws. In the U.S., IXL may collect and process Student Data as a School Official with a legitimate educational interest pursuant to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA"), 20 U.S.C. § 1232(g). Individually and collectively, we and our School Users agree to uphold our obligations under FERPA, COPPA, the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment ("PPRA"), applicable State laws relating to student data privacy, and with all other laws and regulations governing the protection of Student Data.
Use of Student Data. By submitting, providing us access to, or causing us to receive Student Data, you agree that IXL may use the Student Data for the purposes of (i) providing the Service, (ii) improving and developing our Service, (iii) enforcing our rights under these Terms, and (iv) as permitted with the School's or the User's consent.
Use of De-Identified or Anonymized Student Data. You agree that both before and after the term of the Agreement, IXL may collect, analyze, use, and retain data derived from Student Data as well as data about users' access and use of the Service, for the purpose of operating, analyzing, improving or marketing the Service, developing new products or services, conducting research or other purposes, provided that IXL may not share or publicly disclose information that is derived from Student Data unless such data is de-identified and/or anonymized such that it cannot reasonably identify a specific individual.
Use of Personal Information for Marketing. You agree that IXL may provide customized content, advertising, and commercial messaging to school, teacher or district administrative users and other non-student users from time to time, provided that such advertisements shall not be based on Student Data. For emphasis, and without limitation, IXL shall never use Student Data to engage in targeted advertising.
Student Data Access and Deletion Requests. You may request that we delete Student Data in our possession at any time by providing such a request in writing, and we shall comply with such request within thirty (30) days, except that IXL shall not be required to delete Student Data that has been moved to a personal family account on the Service or as otherwise prohibited by law. A parent or student over the age of 18 seeking to access, modify, correct, or delete personal information in a student account that is connected to a School account will be instructed to contact the School to discuss data deletion or modification. IXL is not required to delete data that has been derived from Student Data if such data is de-identified and/or anonymized such that it cannot reasonably identify a specific individual.
Data Security and Breach Notification. We have implemented administrative, physical and technical safeguards designed to secure the personal information in IXL's possession and control from unauthorized access, disclosure and use. If an unauthorized party gains access to or has been disclosed Student Data (a "Security Event"), that we have collected or received through the Service under this Agreement, we will promptly notify the School. If, due to a Security Event which is caused by the acts or omissions of IXL or its agents, a notification to an individual, organization or government agency is required under applicable privacy laws, the School shall be responsible for the timing, content, and method of any such legally-required notice and compliance with such laws and IXL shall indemnify the School for reasonable costs related to legally-required notifications. With respect to any Security Event which is not caused by the acts or omissions of IXL or its agents, IXL shall reasonably cooperate with School's investigation of the Security Event, as School requests, at School's reasonable expense, but IXL shall not indemnify a School for costs associated with the Security Event. IXL shall be responsible for the timing, content, cost and method of notice and compliance with such laws as they relate to users that are not associated with a School account.
This Section 5.1 applies to the use of the Service by Schools located in the State of Connecticut. The purpose of this Section 5.1 is to document compliance with applicable Connecticut state laws that may apply to the use of the Service by Schools in Connecticut, such as Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 10-234aa-dd. This Section 5.1 incorporates by reference the definitions set forth in Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 10-234aa.
If you open an IXL account to provide the Service to students in a School located in the State of Connecticut, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to do so on behalf of the local or regional board of education with authority over the School and that you are authorized to communicate with IXL on behalf of the local or regional board of education.
IXL and you shall comply with all applicable sections of Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 10-234aa-dd. The following terms shall apply as required by Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 10-234bb. To the extent that any such required terms conflict with other terms in this Agreement, the terms of this Section 5.1 shall apply.
Student information, student records and student-generated content are not the property of or under the control of IXL.
The local or regional board of education may request the deletion of any student information, student records or student-generated content in the possession of IXL by sending a request to compliance@ixl.com. As permitted by Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 10-234bb(2), IXL is not required to delete information prohibited from deletion or required to be retained under state or federal law or stored as a copy as part of a disaster recovery storage system and that is (i) inaccessible to the public, and (ii) unable to be used in the normal course of business by the contractor. IXL will, however, comply with requests for deletion of student information, student, records, or student-generated content that is restored from such disaster recovery storage systems.
IXL will not use student information, student records and student-generated content for any purposes other than those authorized pursuant to this Agreement.
A student, parent or legal guardian of a student may review personally identifiable information contained in student information, student records or student-generated content and correct erroneous information, if any, in such student record by contacting their School. IXL will respond to such requests in accordance with instructions sent by an authorized School representative to compliance@ixl.com.
IXL will take actions designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of student information, student records and student-generated content.
IXL will promptly notify the local or regional board of education in accordance with the provisions of section 10-234dd when there has been an unauthorized release, disclosure or acquisition of student information, student records or student-generated content.
Student information, student records or student-generated content shall not be retained or available to the contractor upon expiration of this Agreement. This restriction shall not apply to the extent that a student, parent or legal guardian of a student independently establishes or maintains an electronic account with IXL for the purpose of storing their student-generated content.
IXL and the local or regional board of education shall ensure compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, 20 USC 1232g, as amended from time to time.
The laws of the state of Connecticut shall govern the rights and duties of IXL and the local or regional board of education.
If any provision of this Section 5.1 is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity does not affect other provisions or applications of the contract which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application.
This Section 6 applies to accounts that have been created through the Service using a credit card and automatically renew.
You can find specific details regarding your membership with IXL at any time. Simply sign in to your IXL account, click on the account menu in the upper-right corner, and select Membership details. You may also contact IXL with any questions that you may have by contacting us.
MEMBERSHIP SUBSCRIPTION RENEWAL FEES WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED TO YOUR CARD ON FILE EACH SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD (MONTHLY OR YEARLY), UNTIL YOU CANCEL.
By starting your IXL membership, you are expressly agreeing that we are authorized to charge you the membership fee associated with the term of your membership (e.g., monthly or yearly) you chose during registration. Thereafter, we will automatically renew your subscription on each (monthly or yearly) anniversary of your subscription date, and as authorized by you by checking the box demonstrating your consent for automatic monthly/yearly renewals of your subscription during the sign-up process, we will charge your then-current payment method (or to a different payment method if you change your account information) associated with your account with the applicable then-current fee and any sales or similar taxes that may be imposed. Please note that prices and charges are subject to change with notice. As used in this Agreement, "billing" shall indicate either a charge or debit, as applicable, against your Payment Method.
You acknowledge that the amount billed each billing period may vary for reasons that include differing amounts due to changes in your membership plan, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts. Payments are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods. We may change the fees and charges in effect, or add new fees and charges from time to time, but we will give you advance notice of these changes. If you want to use a different Payment Method or if there is a change in Payment Method, such as your credit card validity or expiration date, you may edit your Payment Method information from your Membership details page. To access your Membership details page, sign in to your IXL account, click on the account menu in the upper-right corner, and select Membership details. If your Payment Method reaches its expiration date and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your account (see, "Cancellation" below), you authorize us to continue billing that Payment Method and you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.
You must cancel your membership before it renews each billing period to avoid billing of the next membership fee to your Payment Method. The membership fee will be billed at the beginning of the paying portion of your membership and each month or year thereafter unless and until you cancel your membership. Sign in to your IXL account, click on the account menu in the upper-right corner, and select Membership details to see the commencement date for your next renewal period. We automatically bill your Payment Method each month or year on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your paying membership. Membership charges are fully earned upon payment.
Note: In the event your monthly membership began on a day not contained in a given month, we bill your Payment Method on the last day of such month. For example, if you became a paying member on January 31, your Payment Method would next be billed on February 28.
Cancellation of Automatic Renewals. You may cancel your IXL membership at any time, and cancellation will be effective immediately. You will continue to have access to the program until the current billing period ends. We do not provide refunds or credits for any partially used membership periods. To cancel your membership, sign in to your IXL account and click the words "Cancel membership" on your Membership details page. Follow the instructions for cancellation under the heading "Cancel Membership."
Price Changes. We reserve the right to adjust the pricing for our Service, including but not limited to membership subscription plans, in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, any price changes will take effect following posting or other notice to you (e.g., e-mail).
Purchases through Third-Party Stores. If you purchased your IXL membership through a third-party store, such as through your Apple iTunes or Google Play account, portions of this Section may not apply to you. Because such a purchase is between you and the third-party store, and not IXL, you acknowledge and agree that IXL is not responsible for billing for your membership and is not responsible or liable for any claims relating to the billing of your purchase. If you have questions about membership or billing, you should contact the Apple iTunes store directly.
You will have a password and account designation upon completing the Service's registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify IXL of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. IXL cannot and will not be liable for any unauthorized access to your account or data that arises from your acts or omissions.
IXL accounts may not be shared by more than one person or organization unless express authorization is given by IXL Learning, Inc.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, IXL shall not make any material change to the Terms that relate to the collection or use of Student Data without first giving notice to the school or parent and providing a choice before the Student Data is used in a materially different manner than was disclosed when the information was collected.
In the event that you have entered into a signed, written agreement with IXL in addition to this Agreement, any changes to this Agreement will not be effective as to you until either (a) you affirmatively accept the changes to this Agreement, either electronically or in a signed writing or (b) upon renewal at the end of the current term of your account.

You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in San Mateo County, California for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that San Mateo County, California is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings if the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.
READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM IXL. For any dispute with IXL, you agree to first contact us at legalnotices@ixl.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that IXL has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, "Claims"), by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in San Mateo County, California, unless you and IXL agree otherwise. If you are a School or are using the Service for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys' fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Service for non-commercial purposes: (i) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (ii) the award rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney's fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing IXL from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights.
WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE SERVICE FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND IXL ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.

You acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the Apple-Sourced Software or your possession and use of that Apple-Sourced Software infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, IXL, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim to the extent required by this Agreement. You and IXL acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement as relates to your license of the Apple-Sourced Software, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement as relates to your license of the Apple-Sourced Software against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
Mobile Applications from Google Play Store. The following applies to any Mobile Applications you acquire from the Google Play Store ("Google-Sourced Software"): (i) you acknowledge that the Agreement is between you and IXL only, and not with Google, Inc. ("Google"); (ii) your use of Google-Sourced Software must comply with Google's then-current Google Play Store Terms of Service; (iii) Google is only a provider of the Google Play Store where you obtained the Google-Sourced Software; (iv) IXL, and not Google, is solely responsible for its Google-Sourced Software; (v) Google has no obligation or liability to you with respect to Google-Sourced Software or the Agreement; and (vi) you acknowledge and agree that Google is a third-party beneficiary to the Agreement as it relates to IXL's Google-Sourced Software.
This Agreement, together with any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with IXL relating to the Service, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and IXL and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and IXL. We object to and reject any additional or different terms proposed by you, including those contained in your purchase order, acceptance or website. This Agreement may only be superseded by a signed, notarized writing executed by an officer of IXL. The failure of IXL to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect. Except for actions for nonpayment or breach of a party's proprietary rights, no action, regardless of form, arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be brought by either party more than one (1) year after the cause of action has accrued. We might make versions of this Agreement or one or more of our Policies available in languages other than English. If we do, the English version of this Agreement and any such Policies will govern our relationship and the translations are provided for convenience only and will not be interpreted to modify the English version of this Agreement or such Policies.
