In consideration of being allowed to register for, and participate in the event, I hereby warrant and represent that I am age 18 or above and freely waive, release from liability, assume all risks, and covenant not to sue CultureCon or its members, employees, board members, agents, or volunteers for any expense, loss, damage, personal injury, including loss of life, disability, property damage, or property theft or actions of any kind that I may hereafter suffer or sustain before, during, or after the event, unless said expense, loss, damage, personal injury, including loss of life, disability, property damage or property theft or actions of any kind is caused by the sole, gross negligence of CultureCon. This Liability Waiver and Release is specifically binding upon my heirs and assigns and is knowingly given.

​

6. Service as an invited speaker

If you agree to speak at a CultureCon sponsored event or service offering, we may share your contact, company and biographical information with event attendees. Sometimes we may also request a photograph. In other cases, we post on the respective event website information such as your name, employer, physical work address, work email address, as well as a link to your company website and/or social media sites (e.g. LinkedIn profile) available to the public. This is so that visitors to the event website, including event attendees and speakers, can contact you with questions and requests for more information, and to provide feedback if needed. Additionally, speakers may be asked to complete a release agreement or copyright form prior to their presentation.

 

7. Credential/badge scanning during the event

CultureCon event co-sponsors, exhibitors, and other third parties may directly request your personal information at their exhibit booths or presentations. Providing your information to them is optional, and you should review their privacy policies to address your particular needs and concerns about how they will treat your personal information.

 

If during the event you attend a session or program hosted by an exhibitor other than CultureCon, you understand and agree that when you present your badge for scanning or when you provide personal data, that information will go to a non-CultureCon entity and CultureCon takes no responsibility for how that company uses your personal information.

​

8. Usage of photographic and video material taken at CultureCon events

To comply with global data privacy laws, CultureCon imposes certain restrictions on the use of multimedia at its events (e.g. photography, video, audio, online streaming, and all future mediums). An attendee is permitted to use hand-held cameras and/or smart phones to take photographs and capture digital images for personal, non-commercial use, provided the photography is not disruptive. Photographs may not be published, sold, reproduced, transmitted, distributed or otherwise commercially exploited in any manner whatsoever.

​

CultureCon may hire professional service providers (photo/video/streaming/audio) to document and display the event experience. CultureCon may also use social media (e.g. Twitter) to: (i) post real-time photos and videos to its social media feeds; and (ii) display select submissions from those feeds on monitors throughout the event venue. Attendees and sponsors are encouraged to capture their event experiences and post their own social content from the event (text, photos, audio, video, streaming), provided it does not infringe upon the rights of any attendee, sponsor, third party, or CultureCon. Such infringement would include, but is not limited to, defamation or infringement of intellectual property rights. In the event an attendee requires a release or permission to protect the rights of a third party, obtaining such a release or permission shall be the sole responsibility of the attendee.

  

By attending the event, you acknowledge and agree as follows: (a) CultureCon may edit and use attendee footage it captures at the event for marketing and promotional activities and for any other lawful purpose in the ordinary course of its business; and (b) due to the prevalence of mobile recording devices in today’s world, CultureCon disclaims all liability for the capture of your image in any multimedia format by other attendees at the event.

​

9. Event ticket substitutions, cancellations, and refunds

Registrant substitutions may be made at any time with no penalty if received in writing prior to seven (7) days of the event.

​

10. Learning Center course enrollment and refunds

 

10.1. Enrollment

A “Student” is any User who enrolls in a Course or obtains related services from the Learning Center. Whether it’s free or paid content, you are getting a license from CultureCon to view the Course and/or to obtain related services via the Learning Center platform, and CultureCon is the licensor of record. Courses are licensed, and not sold, to you. This license does not give you any right to copy or resell any Learning Center content or services in any manner (including by sharing account information with a purchaser or illegally downloading content and sharing it on torrent sites). For more details regarding CultureCon’s rights to license uploaded content, please carefully read our Appearance Release and Copyright License Agreement and Author Terms.

 

CultureCon grants you, as a Student, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the content for which you have paid all required fees, solely for your personal, non-commercial, educational purposes through the services, in accordance with these Terms & Conditions and any conditions or restrictions associated with the particular content or feature of the Learning Center. All other uses are expressly prohibited. You may not reproduce, redistribute, transmit, assign, sell, broadcast, rent, share, lend, modify, adapt, edit, create derivative works of, sublicense, or otherwise transfer or use any content, service, or aspect of the Learning Center unless we give you explicit permission to do so in a written agreement signed by a CultureCon authorized representative. This also applies to content you can access via any of our APIs.

​

Unless otherwise noted, we give a lifetime access license to our students when they enroll in a Course or other content. However, we reserve the right to revoke any license to access and use any content at any point in time in the event where we decide or are obligated to disable access to the content due to legal or policy reasons, for example, if the course or other content you enrolled in is the object of a copyright complaint, or if we determine it violates our Author Terms.  

​

Authors may not grant licenses to their content to users directly, and any such direct license shall be null and void and a violation of these Terms & Conditions.

​

10.2. Payments

When you make a payment, you agree to use a valid, authorized payment method. If you aren’t happy with your content, CultureCon offers a 14-day refund or credit for most content purchases.

 

You agree to pay the fees for content that you purchase, and you authorize us to charge your debit or credit card or process other means of payment (such as Boleto, SEPA, direct debit, or mobile wallet) for those fees. CultureCon works with payment service providers to offer you the most convenient payment methods in your country and to keep your payment information secure. We may update your payment methods using the information provided by our payment service providers.

​

If your payment method fails and you still get access to the content you are enrolling in, you agree to pay us the corresponding fees within thirty (30) days of notification from us. We reserve the right to disable access to any content for which we have not received adequate payment.

​

10.3. Refunds

If the content you purchased is not what you were expecting, you can request, within 14 days of your purchase of the content, that CultureCon apply a refund to your account. We reserve the right to apply your refund as a refund credit to be applied to future CultureCon purchases or a refund to your original payment method, at our discretion, depending on capabilities of our payment service providers, the platform from which you purchased your content (website, mobile or TV app), and other factors. No refund is due to you if you request it after the 14-day guarantee time limit has passed. However, if the content you previously purchased is disabled for legal or policy reasons, you are entitled to a refund beyond this 14-day limit. CultureCon also reserves the right to refund students beyond the 14-day limit in cases of suspected or confirmed account fraud.

​

To request a refund, send us an email to info@cultureconusa.org. If we issue refund credits to your account, they will be automatically applied towards your next content purchase on our Learning Center website.  Refund credits may expire if not used within the specified period and have no cash value, in each case unless otherwise required by applicable law.

​

At our discretion, if we believe you are abusing our refund policy, such as if you’ve consumed a significant portion of the content that you want to refund or if you’ve previously refunded the content, we reserve the right to deny your refund, restrict you from other future refunds, ban your account, and/or restrict all future use of the services. If we ban your account or disable your access to the content due to your violation of these Terms & Conditions, you will not be eligible to receive a refund at our sole discretion.

​

11. Marketing and logo usage

By agreeing to these Terms & Conditions, you grant CultureCon LLC the right to use your company’s name, logo, and/or trademarks (“Brand Assets”) for the purpose of marketing and promotional activities. This includes, but is not limited to, displaying your Brand Assets on our website, social media channels, and promotional materials, solely in connection with our business relationship and without any endorsement implied.

​

If at any time you wish to withdraw your consent for the use of your Brand Assets, please notify us in writing at info@cultureconusa.org, and we will remove your Brand Assets from any new marketing or promotional material. Please note that we cannot remove your Brand Assets from materials already in circulation prior to receiving your request.

In Part II of the Terms of Use, “you” means each User who is also an Author in the User’s capacity as an Author. When you upload Courses to, or sign up to become an Author on, the Learning Center, you agree to abide by these terms and conditions (“Author Terms”). The Author Terms are incorporated by reference into our Terms of Use. In addition, the Author Terms outline each Author’s obligations to the other Users and, specifically, the Students who use your Courses on the Learning Center.

​

These Author Terms create a contract between you and CultureCon, regardless of whether another CultureCon subsidiary or third party facilitates payments to you.

​

1. Author Obligations

You are responsible for all Courses you upload to the Learning Center, including lectures, quizzes, coding exercises, practice tests, assignments, resources, answers, course landing page content, labs, assessments, announcements, and any other supplemental learning exercises you submit.

​

You represent and warrant that:

  1. you will provide and maintain accurate account information;

  2. you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, permissions, and authority to authorize CultureCon to use your Course as specified in the Author Terms and the other sections of the Terms of Use;

  3. your Course will not infringe or misappropriate any third party's intellectual property rights;

  4. you have the required qualifications, credentials, and expertise (including education, training, knowledge, and skill sets) to teach and offer the services that you offer through your Course; and

​

You warrant that you will NOT:

  1. post or provide any inappropriate, offensive, racist, hateful, sexist, pornographic, false, misleading, incorrect, infringing, defamatory or libelous content or information;

  2. post or transmit any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, junk mail, spam, or any other form of solicitation (commercial or otherwise) through the Learning Center or to any or to any User;

  3. use the Learning Center for any purpose other than providing teaching and instructional services to Students;

  4. engage in any activity that would require us to obtain licenses from or pay royalties to any third party, including the need to pay royalties for the public performance of a musical work or sound recording;

  6. impersonate another person or gain unauthorized access to another person's account;

  7. interfere with or otherwise prevent other Authors from providing Courses; or

  8. abuse CultureCon resources, including support services.

​

2. Author Revenue Share

CultureCon seeks to create a sustainable partnership with Authors, where Authors are rewarded for creating amazing content and bringing students to the Learning Center, and CultureCon is rewarded for driving sales of licenses and content provided by Authors. Please note these are revenue shares on the Net Amount, which is the amount a Student paid less any applicable taxes or fees. A full definition of the Net Amount is available elsewhere in the Author Terms.

​

  • Authors receive 60% of the revenue for any CultureCon sales.

  • Sales might occur after a user clicks on a CultureCon advertisement or browses the CultureCon marketplace for courses.

​

Please note:

  • The summary above outlines the revenue share between CultureCon and each Author for a given sale. It does not factor in any additional revenue sharing that an Author may have allocated for co-Authors, if any.

​

3. License to CultureCon

The Appearance Release and Copyright License contains detailed information regarding the Author’s license to CultureCon regarding all Courses. However, a summary of the general rights you agree to grant CultureCon is below.

​

You grant CultureCon the rights detailed in the Terms & Conditions and Appearance Release and Copyright License to offer, market, and otherwise exploit your Courses. This includes the right to add captions or otherwise modify the Course for delivery in alternative forms, such as but not limited to lectures, quizzes, practice exercises, practice tests, assignments, resources, answers, course landing page content, labs, and assessments, to ensure accessibility. You also authorize CultureCon to sublicense these rights to your Course to third parties, including to Students directly and through third parties such as resellers, distributors, affiliate sites, deal sites, and paid advertising on third-party platforms.

​

We may record and use all or any part of your Course for quality control and for delivering, marketing, promoting, demonstrating, or operating the services. You grant CultureCon permission to use your name, likeness, voice, and image in connection with offering, delivering, marketing, promoting, demonstrating, and selling the services, your Course, or CultureCon's content, and you waive any rights of privacy, publicity, or other rights of a similar nature, to the extent permissible under applicable law.

  6. as determined by CultureCon in its sole discretion.

​

4.2 Relationship to Other Users

Authors do not have a direct contractual relationship with Students, so the only information you'll receive about Students is what is provided to you through the Learning CenterYou agree that you will not use the data you receive for any purpose other than providing the Course to those Students on the Learning Center, and that you will not solicit additional personal data or store Students' personal data outside the Learning Center. You agree to indemnify CultureCon against any claims arising from your use of Students' personal data.

 

4.3 Anti-Piracy Efforts

We may partner with anti-piracy vendors to help protect Learning Center content, including Courses, from unauthorized use. To enable this protection, you hereby appoint CultureCon and our anti-piracy vendors as your agents for the purpose of enforcing copyrights for each of your Courses, through notice and takedown processes (under applicable copyright laws like the Digital Millennium Copyright Act) and for other efforts to enforce those rights. CultureCon has no affirmative obligation to police or protect the Courses.

​

You agree that CultureCon and our anti-piracy vendors will retain the above rights unless you revoke them by sending an email to info@cultureconusa.org with the subject line: "Revoke Anti-Piracy Protection Rights" from the email address associated with your account. Any revocation of rights will be effective 48 hours after we receive it.

 

5. Pricing

5.1 Price Setting

When uploading a Course available for purchase at the Learning Center, we will list your Course for the Base Price, as agreed prior to the upload.

​

When a Student purchases a Course using a foreign currency, we will convert the relevant Base Price into the Student's applicable currency using a system-wide foreign currency conversion rate.

​

You give us permission to share your Courses for free with our employees, with selected partners, and in cases where we need to restore access to accounts who have previously purchased a Course. You understand that you will not receive compensation in these cases.

​

5.2 Transaction Taxes

If a Student purchases a product or service in a country that requires CultureCon to remit national, state, or local sales or use taxes, value added taxes (VAT), or other similar transaction taxes ("Transaction Taxes"), under applicable law, we will collect and remit those Transaction Taxes to the competent tax authorities for those sales. We may increase the sale price at our discretion where we determine that such taxes may be due.

 

6. Payments

6.1 Revenue Share

When a Student purchases your Course, we calculate the gross amount of the sale as the amount actually received by CultureCon from the student ("Gross Amount"). From this, we subtract any Transaction Taxes and any other fees at checkout sales to calculate the net amount of the sale ("Net Amount").

​

Your revenue share will be 40% of the Net Amount less any applicable deductions, such as student refunds. If we change this payment rate, we will provide you 30 days notice using prominent means, such as via email or by posting a notice on the Learning Center.

​

CultureCon makes all instructor payments in U.S. dollars (USD) regardless of the currency with which the sale was made. CultureCon is not responsible for your foreign currency conversion fees, wiring fees, or any other processing fees that you may incur. Your revenue report will show the sales price (in local currency) and your converted revenue amount (in USD).

​

6.2 Receiving Payments

1. PayPal,

2. Payoneer, or

3. U.S. bank account (for U.S. residents only)

You must also provide any identifying information or tax documentation (such as a W-9 or W-8) necessary for payment of amounts due. In addition, you agree that we have the right to withhold appropriate taxes from your payments. We reserve the right to withhold payments or impose other penalties if we do not receive proper identifying information or tax documentation from you. You understand and agree that you are ultimately responsible for any taxes on your income.

​

Depending on the applicable revenue share model, payment will be made within 45 days of the end of the month in which (a) we receive the fee for a course or (b) the relevant course consumption occurred.

 

As an Author, you are responsible for determining whether you are eligible to be paid by a U.S. company. We reserve the right not to pay out funds in the event of identified fraud, violations of intellectual property rights, or other violations of the law.

​

If we cannot settle funds into your payment account after the period of time set forth by your state, country, or other government authority in its unclaimed property laws, we may process the funds due to you in accordance with our legal obligations, including by submitting those funds to the appropriate government authority as required by law.

​

6.3. Refunds

You acknowledge and agree that Students have the right to receive a refund, as detailed in the Terms & Conditions. Authors will not receive any revenue from transactions for which a refund has been granted under the Terms & Conditions.

​

If a Student requests a refund for your Course after we have paid you, we reserve the right to either (1) deduct the amount of the refund from the next payment sent to the instructor or (2) where no further payments are due to the instructor or the payments are insufficient to cover the refunded amounts, require the instructor to refund any amounts refunded to Students for the instructor's Course.

​
