Ready Education Terms of Service
Version 1.1 posted and effective as of May 2019.
Welcome to the Ready Education site (the “Site”). These Terms of Service, together with Ready Education LLC's Privacy Statement are legal contracts that govern your use of this Site, of any mobile application created by Ready Education (“App”), and your access to any services provided through the Site or App or both (“Services”). By accessing the Site, installing the App, or using the Services, you agree to be bound by the Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Site or App or access the Services. Your continued use of the Site or any materials or services accessible through it, after such posting or notification means you accept the modifications. The use by you of certain Services accessible through the App or Site may be subject to your acceptance of separate agreements with Ready Education or third parties.
Amendment to Terms.
Ready Education may from time to time change any part of the Terms of Service by adding, deleting, or varying their content. These amendments could occur very close together, or very far apart, depending on the circumstances.
Ready Education will provide you with notice of the proposed amendment by posting an amended version of the Terms of Service with a new version number. We will include a link to the previous version of the terms beneath the new version number. The amendments will take effect 30 days after the date on which the amended version is posted. Prior to that date, the previous version of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.
If you disagree with any amendments, you may cancel the Terms of Service by ceasing to access the Site or use the Services and uninstalling the App at any time within the 30-day notice period. If the amendment increases your obligations under these Terms of Service, or decreases our obligations, then you can also cancel in the 30 days after the amendments take effect. There will be no cost or penalty for doing so. If you do not uninstall the App, and cease accessing the Site and using the Services during that time, you are considered to have accepted the proposed amendments.
