You agree to abide by all copyright notices, trademark rules, information, and restrictions contained in any Content you access through the Services. Moreover, you agree not to use, copy, reproduce, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, upload, display, license, sell or otherwise exploit for any purposes any Content not owned by you: (i) without the prior consent of the owner of that Content; and (ii) in a way that violates someone else’s (including SoiSchool’s) rights.
You understand that SoiSchool owns the Services. You shall not modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce (except as expressly provided in this Section), create derivative works based on, or otherwise exploit any of the Services.
The Services may allow you to copy or download certain Content; please remember that just because this functionality exists, does not mean that all the restrictions above do not apply – they do!
Anything you post, upload, share, store, or otherwise provide through the Services is your “User Submission.” Some User Submissions are viewable by other users. In order to display your User Submissions on the Services, and to allow other users to enjoy them (where applicable), you grant us certain rights in those User Submissions. Please note that all of the following licenses are subject to our Privacy Policy to the extent that they relate to User Submissions that are also your personally-identifiable information.
You retain all ownership rights in your User Submissions. For all User Submissions, you hereby grant SoiSchool a license to translate, modify (for technical purposes, for example making sure your content is viewable on an iPhone as well as a computer), reproduce, and otherwise act with respect to such User Submissions, in each case to enable us to operate the Services as described in more detail below.
If you store a User Submission in your own personal SoiSchool account, in a manner that is not viewable by any other user except you (a “Personal User Submission”), you grant SoiSchool the license above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Personal User Submission for the sole purpose of making that Personal User Submission accessible to you and providing the Services necessary to do so.
If you share a User Submission only in a manner that only certain specified users can view (for example, a private message to one or more other users) (a “Limited Audience User Submission”), then you grant SoiSchool the licenses above, as well as a license to display, perform, and distribute your Limited Audience User Submission for the sole purpose of making that Limited Audience User Submission accessible to such other specified users, and providing the Services necessary to do so. Also, you grant such other specified users a license to access that Limited Audience User Submission, and to use and exercise all rights in it, as permitted by the functionality of the Services.
If you share a User Submission publicly on the Services, in a manner that more than just you or certain specified users can view, or if you provide us (in a direct email or otherwise) with any feedback, suggestions, improvements, enhancements, or feature requests relating to the Services (each of the foregoing, a “Public User Submission”), then you grant SoiSchool the licenses above; a license to display, perform, and distribute your Public User Submission for the purpose of making that Public User Submission accessible to all SoiSchool users and providing the Services necessary to do so; and all other rights necessary to use and exercise all rights regarding the Public User Submission in connection with the Services or in connection with SoiSchool’s business, provided that SoiSchool will try to notify you if it uses your Public User Submission for any reason other than other than those provided above. Also, you grant all other users of the Services a license to access that Public User Submission, and to use and exercise all rights in it, as permitted by the functionality of the Services.
You agree that the licenses you grant are royalty-free, perpetual, sublicensable, irrevocable, and worldwide. When you delete your SoiSchool account, we will stop displaying your User Submissions (other than Public User Submissions, which may remain fully available) to other users (if applicable), but you understand and agree that it may not be possible to completely delete your User Submissions from SoiSchool’s records, and that your User Submissions may remain viewable elsewhere to the extent that they were copied or stored by other users.
Finally, you understand and agree that SoiSchool, in performing the required technical steps to provide the Services to our users (including you), may need to make changes to your User Submissions to conform and adapt those User Submissions to the technical requirements of connection networks, devices, services, or media, and the foregoing licenses include the rights to do so.
To learn how to report potentially infringing content, please refer to our Copyright Policy.
Any information or content publicly posted or privately transmitted through the Services is the sole responsibility of the person from whom such content originated, and you access all such information and content at your own risk. We are not liable for any errors or omissions in that information or content or for any damages or loss you might suffer in connection with it. We cannot control and have no duty to take any actions regarding how you may interpret and use the Content or what actions you may take as a result of having been exposed to the Content, and you hereby release us from all liability for you have acquired or not acquired Content through the Services. We can’t guarantee the identity of any users with whom you interact in using the Services and are not responsible for which users gain access to the Services.
You are responsible for all Content you contribute, in any manner, to the Services, and you represent and warrant you have all rights necessary to do so, in the manner in which you contribute it. You shall keep all your registration information accurate and current. You are responsible for all your activities in connection with the Services.
The Services may contain links or connections to third party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by SoiSchool. When you access third party websites or use third party services, you accept that there are risks in doing so, and that SoiSchool is not responsible for such risks. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Services and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of every third party website or service that you visit or use.
SoiSchool has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy policies, practices of, or opinions expressed in any third party websites or by any third party that you interact with through the Services. In addition, SoiSchool will not and cannot monitor, verify, censor or edit the content of any third party websites or services. By using the Services, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from every liability that arises from your use of third party websites or services.
Your interactions with organizations or individuals found on or through the Services, including payment, delivery of goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such organizations or individuals. You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these third parties. You agree that SoiSchool shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings.
If there is a dispute between participants on Services, or between users and any third party, you agree that SoiSchool is under no obligation to become involved. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users, you release SoiSchool, its officers, employees, agents, and successors from claims, demands, and damages of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed or undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or our Services.
We are always trying to improve the Services, so they may change over time. We may suspend or discontinue any part of the Services, or we may introduce new features or impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts or all of the Services. We shall try to give you notice when we make a material change to the Services that would adversely affect you, but this is not always practical. Similarly, we reserve the right to remove any Content from the Services at any time, for any reason (including, but not limited to, if someone alleges you contributed that Content in violation of these Terms), in our sole discretion, and without notice.
Many of the SoiSchool Services are currently free. If you choose to buy or enroll in any classes, sessions, programs, and/or other services that SoiSchool may offer (the “Program”), you will be charged a fee (the “Tuition Fees”) in full in advance through the method of payment you provide upon enrollment in the Priced Services and we (or a third-party service provider) may accept and process payments on your behalf, for which we may charge additional fees. Fees are non-refundable.
You may cancel your classes and/or sessions at any time, but again, no refunds will be granted for the Tuition Fees paid.
In addition, we reserve the right to charge for certain or all Services in the future, including new Services that we add. We will notify you before any Services you are then using begin carrying a fee, and if you wish to continue using such Services, you must pay all applicable fees for such Services.
You are free to do that at any time by contacting us at info@soischool.com. As such, please refer to our Privacy Policy, as well as the licenses above, to understand how we treat the information you have provided to us after you stop using our Services.
SoiSchool is also free to terminate (or suspend access to) your use of the Services or your account, for any reason in our sole discretion, including your breach of these Terms. SoiSchool has the sole right to decide whether you are in violation of any of the restrictions set forth in these Terms.
Account termination may result in the destruction of any Content associated with your account, so keep that in mind before you decide to terminate your account. We will try to provide advance notice to you prior to the termination of your account so that you are able to retrieve any important User Submissions you may have stored in your account (to the extent allowed by law and these Terms), but we may not do so if we determine it would be impractical, illegal, not in the interest of someone’s safety or security, or otherwise harmful to the rights or property of SoiSchool.
If you have deleted your account by mistake, please contact us immediately at info@soischool.com – we will, without incurring any liability to us, try to help, but unfortunately, we do not promise that we can recover or restore anything.
Provisions that, by their nature, should survive termination of these Terms shall survive termination. By way of example, all of the following will survive termination: any obligation you have to pay us or indemnify us, any limitations on our liability, any terms regarding ownership or intellectual property rights, and terms regarding disputes between us.

<u>Program Payment Terms</u>
One of the services offered by SoiSchool is the educational program described here (the “Program”). The Program provides the ability for SoiSchool to establish tuition, fees, and other miscellaneous payments (“Tuition Fees”) and enable parents and guardians of their students (“Parents”) to make Tuition Fee payments. Parents and Schools are collectively referred to herein as “Users” and the services provided by SoiSchool to Parents (including, without limitation, tuition payment services through the Tuition Program) shall be referred to collectively as the “School Services”.
These terms of service (the “Program Terms”) are a binding contract between you (“you,” or “your”) and SoiVentures Co., Ltd. (“SoiSchool,” “we,” “us” or “our”). You must agree to and accept all of the Program Terms, or you do not have the right to use the Program. Your use of the Program in any way means that you agree to all of these Program Terms, and these Program Terms will remain in effect while you use the Program. These Program Terms include the provisions in this document, as well as those in the Privacy Policy and the SoiSchool Terms of Use.
Parents are solely responsible for determining whether to enroll their dependents in the Program and whether to make payments to SoiSchool through the Program. Similarly, SoiSchool is solely responsible for determining whether to elicit or accept payments from Parents through the Program.
By creating your User account and using the Program, you expressly acknowledge that you understand this Agreement and accept all of its terms. If you do not agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you may not use or access the Program.
As a Parent, you agree that any amounts charged by SoiSchool (each, a “Charge”) are established by SoiSchool in its sole discretion and, in some cases, may be mandatory. Charges include Tuition Fees and other applicable processing fees, surcharges, and taxes. You are responsible for reviewing the SoiSchool’s tuition and fee policies and shall be responsible for all Charges incurred under your User account regardless of your awareness of such Charges or the amounts thereof. Where required by law, SoiSchool will collect applicable taxes. As between you and SoiSchool, all Charges are non-refundable. This no-refund policy shall apply at all times regardless of your decision to terminate usage of the Program.
All Charges are facilitated through a third-party payment processing service. By registering your account and using the Program, you agree to Omise’s policy. We may replace our third-party payment processing services without informing you.
