INDIVIDUAL CUSTOMER AGREEMENT
This Individual Customer Agreement (the "Agreement") is made as of the Effective Date (as defined below) by and between Customer (as defined below) and Scholastic Inc., located at 557 Broadway, New York, NY 10012, and/or any applicable affiliated entities set forth in an Order with respect to particular Licensed Products, each as defined below ("Scholastic"). This Agreement includes the Product Terms (as updated by Scholastic from time to time), which are currently available above (Product Terms) and are hereby incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
By accessing or using the Licensed Products (as defined below), or by otherwise indicating your acceptance of this Agreement (for example, by clicking "I Agree" or through another mechanism confirming your acceptance), Customer is agreeing to be bound by this Agreement. Customer represents and warrants that he or she is of legal age to enter into this Agreement, and has the legal authority to do so. Please note that your Internet browser will typically permit you to print or save a copy of this Agreement.
Scholastic may change this Agreement, including the Product Terms, by notifying Customer of such changes by any reasonable means, including by posting a revised Agreement through the Scholastic websites or mobile apps through which Scholastic makes available the Licensed Products (together with any successor website(s) and app(s) thereto, the "Site"). Any such changes will not apply to any dispute between Customer and Scholastic arising prior to the date on which Scholastic posted the revised Agreement incorporating such changes, or otherwise notified Customer of such changes. Customer&apos;s use of the Licensed Products following any changes to this Agreement will constitute Customer&apos;s acceptance of such changes. The "Last Updated" legend above indicates when this Agreement was last changed.
§ 1.1 "Customer" means the person identified on the applicable Order.
§ 1.10 "User" means any individual who accesses or uses the Licensed Products, which may, for clarity, include Customer.
Fees; Payment Terms. Customer will pay to Scholastic, for each Subscription Period, the fees and other amounts for the Licensed Products as set forth on the applicable Order (the "Fees"). Customer may be asked to supply certain relevant information, such as a credit card number and its expiration date and billing address. CUSTOMER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS THE RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT CARD OR OTHER PAYMENT METHOD SUBMITTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. By submitting such information, Customer grants to Scholastic the right to provide such information to third parties for purposes of facilitating payment. Verification of information may be required prior to the acknowledgment or completion of any transaction. Customer agrees to pay all charges incurred by or on behalf of Customer in connection with this Agreement. With respect to any renewal of a Subscription Period, Scholastic may increase the Fees and other charges, or add new fees or charges, upon advance notice (which may include notice posted on the Site). In addition, Customer is responsible for any taxes applicable to transactions in connection with this Agreement. Refunds and exchanges will be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and Scholastic&apos;s applicable refund and exchange practices, as determined by Scholastic from time to time.
IF CUSTOMER PAYS ANY FEES BY CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD AND THE ORDER INDICATES THAT A LICENSE IS SUBJECT TO AUTOMATIC RENEWAL, THEN THE SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD FOR SUCH LICENSE WILL RENEW AUTOMATICALLY FOR AN ADDITIONAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD EQUAL TO THE DURATION OF THE ORIGINAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD (FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE ORIGINAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD IS ANNUAL, IT WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED FOR ANOTHER ONE-YEAR TERM AT THE END OF THE CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD), UNLESS TERMINATED BY SCHOLASTIC OR UNTIL CUSTOMER NOTIFIES SCHOLASTIC BY TELEPHONE, MAIL OR E-MAIL (SCHOLASTIC'S RECEIPT OF WHICH MUST BE CONFIRMED BY SCHOLASTIC VIA E-MAIL) OF HIS OR HER DECISION TO TERMINATE THE SUBSCRIPTION TO THE APPLICABLE LICENSED PRODUCT(S). SCHOLASTIC WILL AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE CUSTOMER&apos;S ACCOUNT UPON RENEWAL OF A SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD AT THE RATE FOR SUCH SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD THEN IN EFFECT, AS POSTED ON THE SITE. THE FEES WILL BE BILLED AUTOMATICALLY TO CUSTOMER&apos;S CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD AT THE START OF THE APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD, INCLUDING AT THE START OF EACH RENEWAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD, UNLESS CUSTOMER TERMINATES HIS OR HER SUBSCRIPTION TO THE APPLICABLE LICENSED PRODUCT(S) BEFORE THE RELEVANT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD BEGINS. IF CUSTOMER HAS AN ANNUAL OR BIANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD SUBJECT TO AUTO-RENEWAL, SCHOLASTIC WILL NOTIFY CUSTOMER OF SUCH SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD&apos;S PENDING AUTO RENEWAL PRIOR TO THE DATE OF SUCH RENEWAL, OR AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY LAW. CUSTOMER MUST CANCEL HIS OR HER SUBSCRIPTION TO THE APPLICABLE LICENSED PRODUCT(S) BEFORE THE SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD RENEWS IN ORDER TO AVOID BILLING OF THE FEES FOR SUCH RENEWAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD TO CUSTOMER&apos;S CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD. CUSTOMER MAY CONTACT SCHOLASTIC&apos;S DIGITAL CUSTOMER SERVICE AT digitalservice&commat;scholastic.com OR 1-800-724-2222, Option 5.
§ 4.1 Product Terms. Customer must comply with the Product Terms, including Sections 4 (Rules of Conduct), 5 (Prohibited Materials) and 10 (Scholastic&apos;s Proprietary Rights). Customer must also ensure that his or her Users comply with the Product Terms, and Customer shall be responsible for any User&apos;s violation of the Product Terms. Any violation of the Product Terms by any User will be deemed a breach of this Agreement by Customer.
§ 4.4 FERPA. In the event that any Customer Materials contain Personally Identifiable Information, Customer agrees only to provide or otherwise make available to Scholastic such Customer Materials (a) in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and privacy policies (including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. Sec. 1232(g)) and the regulations thereunder (34 CFR Part 99) (collectively, "FERPA")) (collectively, including FERPA, "Applicable Law"), and (b) in accordance with all necessary permissions, rights and consents as required by and in full compliance with all Applicable Law. Both Scholastic and Customer acknowledge that FERPA imposes obligations and restrictions onto "educational institutions or agencies" (such as Customer and/or Customer&apos;s organization), including with respect to the handling and disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information contained in the educational records Customer maintains regarding his or her students. With respect to any Customer Materials that may be accessed, obtained, received, extracted or otherwise used by Scholastic (or which may otherwise be disclosed in any manner to Scholastic by or on behalf of Customer), in individualized or aggregate form, in connection with the Licensed Products provided pursuant to this Agreement, Customer hereby: (1) acknowledges and agrees that Scholastic can rely, is relying and will continue to rely on Customer&apos;s full compliance with the applicable obligations imposed by Applicable Law, as any such obligations may be amended or modified from time to time; and (2) expressly waives and releases Scholastic from and against any and all claims, actions, damages and liability arising in connection with Customer&apos;s provision of such Customer Materials to Scholastic (and any required consents in connection therewith) and Scholastic&apos;s receipt and use of such Customer Materials on behalf of Customer in accordance with the provisions of Applicable Law and the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Student Education Record Data. Any student education record data contained in Customer Data (such data, "Student Data") will remain the property of, and under the control of, Customer&apos;s educational agency. Scholastic will use Student Data only to provide the Licensed Products and as otherwise specifically permitted by this Agreement, including as set forth in the Scholastic Privacy Policy. For purposes of this Section 5, "student education record data" does not include information that cannot be used to identify an individual student.
§ 5.4 Termination. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, Scholastic will, to the extent required by applicable law, return to Customer all Student Data, or destroy the same, in accordance with such reasonable written instructions as may be given by Customer; however, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, Scholastic may retain back-up and similar copies of Student Data that Scholastic is unable to destroy using commercially reasonable measures. Upon Customer&apos;s written request, Scholastic will certify to Customer that Scholastic has destroyed such Student Data.
Warranties. Customer represents and warrants that: (a) for all Customer Materials, and for all User access to and use of the Licensed Products, Customer is solely responsible for obtaining, and Customer hereby represents and warrants to Scholastic that it has previously obtained, all of the necessary and applicable rights, permissions and consents, including parental consents, to make available (and to permit Users and other third parties, such as third-party data hosting providers, to make available) the Customer Materials to Scholastic, and for Scholastic to use such Customer Materials in accordance with this Agreement, including Scholastic&apos;s use of Customer Data in accordance with the Scholastic Privacy Policy; (b) Customer is and will continue to be in compliance in all respects with all Applicable Law in connection with all use of the Licensed Products by Customer and his or her Users; (c) the Customer Materials shall not include any Social Security Numbers; (d) Customer, and not Scholastic or any third party, is responsible for responding to any request from a parent or legal guardian of a User, or to any request from a User who is at least eighteen (18) years old, for access to, or other action with respect to, such User&apos;s Personally Identifiable Information or student education record data; and (e) all information provided by or on behalf of Customer in connection with any Order is and will remain complete and accurate.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. CUSTOMER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH IN SECTION 13 OF THE PRODUCT TERMS, CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ABOVE AND HERE: PRODUCT TERMS SECTION 13.
Term; Termination. The term of this Agreement commences on the Effective Date and shall continue until terminated as set forth herein. Scholastic may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Customer if Customer breaches any term or condition of this Agreement, or upon written notice to Customer at any time if no Subscription Period is then in effect. Customer may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days&apos; prior written notice to Scholastic, subject to Customer&apos;s payment to Scholastic of all Fees set forth in this Agreement (including in all Orders). In addition, Scholastic may suspend any or all rights granted to Customer and/or any User under this Agreement at any time and without prior notice, including if Scholastic believes that Customer has violated this Agreement. For clarity, upon any termination of this Agreement, all rights granted to Customer and any Users under this Agreement (including under the Product Terms and any Orders) will automatically cease. Sections 1, 2 (with respect to any Fees incurred under this Agreement prior to its termination), 3.2, 3.3, 4.1, 4.3, 4.4 and 5-10 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Governing Law; Arbitration. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without regard to its principles of conflicts of law, and regardless of Customer&apos;s location. EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE PRODUCT TERMS) OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND SCHOLASTIC, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY, AND EACH PARTY AGREES THAT IT IS WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY. EACH PARTY AGREES THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND EACH PARTY IS AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended by this Agreement. The Consumer Arbitration Rules are currently available online at https://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowProperty?nodeId=/UCM/ADRSTAGE2021425&revision=latestreleased. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by Customer or by Scholastic that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator&apos;s decision will follow the provisions of this Agreement and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement or any other applicable agreement between us, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms will preclude Customer from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against Scholastic for Customer.
Miscellaneous. This Agreement does not, and shall not be construed to, create any partnership, joint venture, employer-employee, agency or franchisor-franchisee relationship between Customer and Scholastic. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, that provision will be deemed severable from this Agreement and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provision. Customer may not assign, transfer or sublicense any or all of his or her rights or obligations under this Agreement without Scholastic&apos;s express prior written consent. Scholastic may assign, transfer, sublicense or subcontract any or all of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without restriction. No waiver by either party of any breach or default under this Agreement will be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. Any heading, caption or section title contained in this Agreement is for convenience only, and in no way defines or explains any section or provision. All terms defined in the singular shall have the same meanings when used in the plural, where appropriate and unless otherwise specified. Any use of the term "including" or variations thereof in this Agreement shall be construed as if followed by the phrase "without limitation." This Agreement, including the Product Terms and any Orders or other terms and conditions incorporated into this Agreement, is the entire agreement between Customer and Scholastic relating to its subject matter, and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements or understandings between Customer and Scholastic relating to such subject matter. Notices to Customer (including notices of changes to this Agreement) may be made via posting to the Site or by e-mail (including in each case via links), or by regular mail. Notices to Scholastic shall be sent in writing by registered mail, return receipt requested, to: Scholastic Inc., 557 Broadway, New York, NY 10012, Attn: SVP, Corporate Finance; with a copy to: Scholastic Inc., 557 Broadway, New York, NY 10012, Attn: EVP & General Counsel. Without limitation, a printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. Scholastic will not be responsible for any failure to fulfill any obligation due to any cause beyond its reasonable control. Solely to the extent of any irreconcilable conflict between any Order, this Customer Agreement and/or the Product Terms, the terms and conditions of the Customer Agreement shall govern, followed by the terms and conditions of the Product Terms followed by the terms and conditions of the Order.
