Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of closeeducation.com (the “Site”) and any services provided by Close Education LLC (“Close Education,” “we,” “us” or “our”). By using the Site, submitting a form or purchasing through us, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

If you use the Site or our services on behalf of a school, district or other organization, you confirm you are authorized to accept these Terms for that organization.

2. Our Services

Close Education is an independent education consultancy that represents and sells third-party instructional programs, including Ascend Math and Whole Phonics (the “Programs”), to schools, districts and other educational organizations. Our services include product information, demonstrations, quotes, ordering assistance, and training and support coordination.

The Programs are owned and operated by their respective publishers. Your access to and use of any Program is governed by that publisher’s own license agreement, terms of use and privacy policy. Close Education does not own, host or control the Programs or the student data stored in them.

3. Eligibility

The Site is intended for educators, administrators and other adults acting for educational organizations or for themselves. You must be at least 18 years old to submit information through the Site or purchase through us. The Site is not directed to children, and children should not submit personal information through it.

4. Quotes, Orders and Payment

• Quotes. Quotes are valid for the period stated on the quote, or 30 days if none is stated. Pricing, license terms and availability are set by the Program publishers and may change before an order is accepted.
• Orders. An order is accepted only when confirmed in writing by Close Education or the publisher. Purchase orders, contracts or district terms that conflict with these Terms or the publisher’s terms apply only if both parties agree to them in writing.
• Payment. Invoices are due according to the terms stated on the invoice. You are responsible for any applicable taxes unless you provide a valid tax-exemption certificate.
• Refunds and cancellations. Software licenses are generally non-refundable once activated. Any refund, cancellation or proration is subject to the publisher’s policy and the terms of your order.
• Training and support. Training and support are provided as described in your quote or order. Scheduling depends on mutual availability.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Submit false, misleading or someone else’s information through our forms

6. Intellectual Property

The Site’s content, including text, design, graphics, and the Close Education name and logo, belongs to Close Education or its licensors and is protected by copyright and trademark law. Ascend Math, Whole Phonics and related names, logos and materials are trademarks or property of their respective owners and are used with permission.

You may view and print Site content for your own non-commercial, educational use. You may not copy, modify, distribute or sell it without our written permission.

7. Information You Submit

When you submit a demo request, inquiry or order information, you confirm it is accurate and that you have the right to share it. We handle that information as described in our Privacy Policy. Please do not submit student records or other student personal information through the Site’s contact form.

8. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site may link to publisher websites and other third-party services. We are not responsible for their content, policies or practices, and your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

9. Disclaimers

The Site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Results, outcomes and statistics described on the Site reflect specific implementations and are not a guarantee of results for any student, school or district.

Any warranty for a Program is provided solely by its publisher under the publisher’s terms. Close Education makes no separate warranty about the Programs’ performance, availability or uptime.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Close Education will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data, profits or revenue, arising from your use of the Site or our services. Our total liability for any claim related to the Site or our services will not exceed the amount you paid to Close Education for the services giving rise to the claim in the 12 months before the claim arose.

11. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Close Education from claims, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from your misuse of the Site or your violation of these Terms. This section does not apply where prohibited for public entities under applicable law.

12. Termination

We may suspend or restrict access to the Site if you violate these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive (including Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification and Governing Law) will survive termination.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Before filing any claim, both parties agree to try in good faith to resolve the dispute informally by contacting the other in writing. Any legal action will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Indiana, unless the law governing a public entity requires otherwise.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.

15. General

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any signed order or agreement, are the entire agreement between you and Close Education regarding the Site.
