Last Updated: May 24, 2019
Welcome, and thank you for your interest in (“Project Invent,” “we,” or “us”) and our websites at www.crewplatform.org/pi (our “Service”). These Terms of Use are a legally binding contract between you and Project Invent regarding your use of the Service.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS CAREFULLY.
BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT,” OR BY ACESSING OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND, AS A CONDITION TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING THE PROJECT INVENT PRIVACY POLICY (TOGETHER, THE “TERMS”). IF YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE, OR DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS, THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE OUR PERMISSION TO USE THE SERVICE. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, AND FEEDGOOD’S PROVISION OF THE SERVICE TO YOU, CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT BY PROJECT INVENT AND BY YOU TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS.
1. Project Invent Service Overview. Project Invent provides a software platform that facilitates Project Invent mentors in managing invention activities for their student teams.
2. Eligibility. You must be at least 16 years of age to use the Service. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are at least 16 years of age; (b) you have not previously been suspended or removed from the Service; and (c) your registration and your use of the Service is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. If you are an entity, organization, or company, the individual accepting these Terms on your behalf represents and warrants that they have authority to bind you to these Terms and you agree to be bound by these Terms.
3. Accounts and Registration. To access most features of the Service, you must register for an account. When you register for an account, you may be required to provide us with some information about yourself, such as your email address or other contact information. You agree that the information you provide to us is accurate and that you will keep it accurate and up-to-date at all times. When you register, you will be asked to provide a password. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure, then you must immediately notify us at hello@projectinvent.org.
4.1 Limited License. Subject to your complete and ongoing compliance with these Terms, Project Invent grants you, solely for your personal, non-commercial use, a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service.
4.2 License Restrictions. Except and solely to the extent such a restriction is impermissible under applicable law, you may not: (a) reproduce, distribute, publicly display, or publicly perform the Service; (b) make modifications to the Service; or (c) interfere with or circumvent any feature of the Service, including any security or access control mechanism. If you are prohibited under applicable law from using the Service, you may not use it.
5. Platform Points
5.1 Points. The Project Invent Service may include opportunities for you to earn (including by completing actions or activities, or otherwise participating to the Project Invent community), and use virtual points (“Platform Points”) and to obtain goods or other rewards in exchange for those points (together “Rewards”). Regardless of what they are called, Platform Points are not real money, do not have monetary value, and may never be redeemed for “real world” money, or other items of monetary value from outside the Project Invent Service without our written permission. You acknowledge that Platform Points are not real currency and are not redeemable for any sum of money from us at any time. We make no guarantee as to the nature, quality, or value of the features of the Project Invent Service or any third-party good or services that will be accessible through the use of Platform Points, or the availability or supply of Platform Points. Platform Points and Rewards obtained via the Project Invent Service are provided to you under a limited, personal, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable license to use within the Project Invent Service. Platform Points and Rewards may not be transferred or resold in any manner, including, without limitation, by means of any direct sale or auction service. Rewards may be subject to a separate third-party license or agreement. Except as perhaps specifically provided to you in writing by a third party as to third-party Rewards, you have no property interest, right or title in or to any such Platform Points or Rewards appearing or originating in the Project Invent Service or any other attributes associated with use of the Project Invent Service. Any “virtual currency” balance shown in your account does not constitute a real-world balance or reflect any stored value, but instead constitutes a measurement of the extent of your license.
You agree that under no circumstances are we liable to you for any damages or claims that may arise from the loss or use of your Platform Points regardless of the circumstances. You absolve us of any responsibility to maintain or update your Project Invent account Platform Points or Rewards balance. However, if there is a loss of Platform Points in your account due to technical or operational problems with the Project Invent Service, we will refund the lost Platform Points once the loss has been verified. Without limiting any of the foregoing, our maximum liability or responsibility to you is to refund the Platform Points lost.
5.2 Redeeming Points. You may from time to time be presented with opportunities to redeem Platform Points for Rewards. We will, in our sole discretion, determine and communicate the availability and exchange rate for any Platform Points and Rewards, which may be modified at any time. You must comply with any individual Reward limitations as indicated via the Project Invent Service (or Platform Partner’s terms). We reserve the right to cancel, restrict or terminate Platform Points or Rewards at any time for any reason. All redemptions are subject to these Terms, any third-party terms associated with a Reward, and all limitations and requirements stated via the Project Invent Services.
