In these Terms of Use, AI Foundation and its affiliates are referred to as “AIF,” “we,” and “our.”   These Terms of Use govern your use of AIF’s websites; mobile applications; online content, digital products, and services; software applications and platforms; and any other AIF products and services (collectively, the “Services”). Some of our Services may include software that is downloaded to your computer or mobile device and may be automatically updated from time to time; these Terms of Use will apply to all such updates. Please read these Terms of Use carefully, and contact us if you have any questions.

1. This is a Binding Contract

By checking the box indicating that you agree to AIF’s Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, you are agreeing to enter into a legally binding contract with AIF (“Terms”), even if you are using the Services on behalf of a company, government agency, or other entity. Please read these Terms carefully before clicking “Submit.” If you do not agree to the Terms, do not check the box indicating that you agree to AIF’s Terms, do not click “Submit,” and do not use the Services.

2. Changes to the Terms

AIF reserves the right to modify these Terms and to initiate new or additional terms or conditions pertaining to your use of the Services at any time. If we make changes to the Terms that will significantly impact your user experience, we will provide notice through our Services or other means to provide you the opportunity to review the changes before they become effective. If you desire, you may terminate the Terms as described in the section entitled “Changing and Terminating Services.” Otherwise, your continued use of the Services will constitute your acceptance of the changed or new terms.

3. Who May Use Services

A. Adult Users

To use the Services that are available for adults over the “Minimum Age” (“Adult Users”), you agree that you: (1) are at least the “Minimum Age” described below; (2) have the authority to enter into these Terms if you are doing so on behalf of a company, government agency, or other organization; and (3) will use the Services in compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws. “Minimum Age” means 18 years of age unless local law requires that you must be older in order for AIF to lawfully provide the Services to you without parental consent (including use of your personal data), then the Minimum Age is the older age of consent applicable in your jurisdiction.

B. Teen Users

To use the Services that are available for teens between the ages of 13 and 18 (“Teen Users”), you agree that you: (1) are at least 13 years of age; (2) will provide written evidence of your age when asked by AIF; and (3) will use the Services in compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws.  Please note that not all Services may be available to Teen Users.

C. Child Users

If you are under the age of 13 (a “Child User“), you may not create or register an account for the Services without consent and approval from your legal parent or guardian, or from your school as provided below (if applicable). If you are under the age of 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to the Terms on your behalf. Except for accounts created for School Use as provided below, a Child User that begins the registration process for himself or herself without a Parent User (as defined below) may have the registration process suspended until a parent or legal guardian approves or assumes responsibility for the Child User account. Please note that not all services may be available to Child Users.

D. Parent Users

If you are an Adult User and you are the legal parent or guardian of a child that seeks to register as a Child User of the Services, you may register a parent account on the Services (“Parent User“). Through a Parent User account, you may create, register, manage and approve Child User accounts only for your own child(ren) or child(ren) for whom you are a legal guardian. IF YOU REGISTER, APPROVE OR CONSENT TO THE REGISTRATION OF, OR OTHERWISE ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY CHILD USER, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE SUCH CHILD USER’S LEGAL PARENT OR GUARDIAN AND YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS ON BEHALF OF SUCH CHILD USER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION BEING LIABLE FOR ALL USE OF THE SERVICES BY THE CHILD USER. You acknowledge that we may choose, but we are not obligated, to make any inquiries, either directly or through third parties, that we deem necessary to validate your registration information, including without limitation engaging third parties to provide verification services. Khan Academy reserves all rights to take legal actions against anyone who misrepresents personal information or is otherwise untruthful about their identity. A Parent User account, along with all associated Child User accounts, may be terminated by AFI at any time and without warning for any failure to abide by these Terms.

E. School Use

AIF may make available certain features and tools that permit Adult Users registered as teachers, school leaders, aides, or other similar school personnel (“School Personnel“) to work with Child Users through the Services in order to provide such students with tutorial, educational and other education-related services as part of the school’s curriculum, and to review and evaluate educational achievement and progress of such students. If you are School Personnel accessing the Services on behalf of a school, school district, or other similar educational institution (an “Institution“), the following terms apply to you:

• Limitations on Use. The Services are provided to you for educational purposes as part of the school curriculum. You must use the Services in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or otherwise exploit for any commercial purpose, any portion of the Services or access to the Services.
• Responsibility for Consent and Notices. You and/or the Institution assume sole responsibility for obtaining any consents required from parents or guardians, and for providing appropriate disclosures to School Users and their parents regarding the School Users’ use of the Services, our Terms, and our Privacy Policy. You agree to be bound by these Terms on behalf of the School User, for so long as the School User account is not transferred to or assumed by a valid Parent User account or personal account for a Student of eligible age. IF YOU ARE SCHOOL PERSONNEL AND YOU REGISTER AN ACCOUNT FOR A CHILD USER OR OTHER STUDENT (EITHER, A “SCHOOL USER“) OR DIRECT A SCHOOL USER TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT FOR SCHOOL USE, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE EITHER RECEIVED EXPRESS CONSENT FROM SUCH SCHOOL USER’S PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN OR THAT YOU (OR YOUR INSTITUTION) HAVE COMPLIED AND WILL COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF AN EXEMPTION FROM OR EXCEPTION TO PARENTAL CONSENT REQUIREMENTS, NECESSARY FOR YOU TO REGISTER THE SCHOOL USER FOR THE SERVICES AND PROVIDE TO AIF THE INFORMATION YOU DISCLOSE IN CONNECTION WITH THE REGISTRATION OF SUCH SCHOOL USER. Specifically you agree, individually and on behalf of the Institution, that:
  • You are familiar with and agree to be responsible for compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and the US Department of Education’s implementing regulations at 34 CFR Part 99 (collectively, “FERPA“), and all other laws, rules or regulations concerning the collection, use, and disclosure of personally identifiable information about Users in your Institution (collectively, “Applicable Privacy Law“).
  • You assume sole responsibility (and hereby agree that AIF is not responsible for) for providing appropriate notices and disclosures to students using AIF for classroom use (“Students” or “Student Users“) and their parents regarding Student use of the Services, our Terms, and our Privacy Policy, including any notices required by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA“), FERPA, or other Applicable Privacy Law.
  • You assume sole responsibility (and hereby agree that AIF is not responsible) for obtaining any consents required from parents or guardians, to the extent required under COPPA, FERPA or other Applicable Privacy Law, in connection with the Services, use of the Services, and disclosure of personally identifiable information to AIF in connection therewith. You represent and warrant to AIF that, prior to creation of accounts for School Use, you have either obtained all necessary parent or guardian consents, or have complied and will comply with all applicable requirements of an exemption from or exception to parental consent requirements, including: (1) under FERPA, you have complied and will comply with the “school official” exception, or the “directory information” exception thereunder; and (2) under COPPA, with respect to Students under the age of 13, you are acting as the agent of the parent and consenting on their behalf to the sharing of the Student’s personal information.
  • We refer to this as a “School Consent”. If a Parent User does not consent or rescinds such School Consent, School Personnel or the Institution shall immediately notify AIF to discontinue that Student’s access to the Services and ensure that such Student’s information is no longer accessible through the Services. Under no circumstances will AIF be liable for the School Personnel’s failure to consult their school’s authorities and administrators or for failing to obtain School Consent when required.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms (or your use of the Services) to anyone without our prior written consent, which may be withheld in our sole discretion due to the unique character of the Services. You agree that AIF may assign these Terms without your consent to a party that acquires AIF. There are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms.
