Tutellus API Terms of Use

We're glad you've chosen to use the Tutellus Affiliates API. By using the Tutellus AffiliatesAPI (the "Tutellus API" or "API," defined below), you and, if applicable, the company you represent (collectively, "you") accept and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (the "Terms of Use," or "Terms"). It is important that you read these Terms as they form a legal agreement between you and Tutellus, Inc. ("Tutellus", "we", or "us"). In addition to the content in this document, the Terms include the following, which are incorporated into the Tutellus Terms of service.

In the event of any conflict between the content in this document and the documents incorporated by reference, this document shall control with respect to your use of the API. If you disagree with anything in these Terms, Tutellus does not grant you a license to use the API and, as a result, you may not use the API.

Tutellus reserves the right, from time to time, with or without notice to you, to change these Terms in our sole and absolute discretion. The most current version of the Terms will supersede all previous versions. By using the Tutellus API subsequent to publication of modifications to the Terms, you agree to be bound to the full language of the most current Terms, as revised and published. Your only recourse if you disagree with the Terms, or changes to the Terms, is to discontinue your use of the API. As such, you should review the Terms periodically.

1.1. Description of Tutellus API and Content. “Tutellus API” (or “APIs”) refers to all of Tutellus’s tools, code, including programmatic web APIs and code in any programming language including Python and JavaScript and associated documentation available on the Tutellus API page, located here,  that allow you to create software application(s) or website(s) (your "Application") which will display certain Content provided by Tutellus from time to time subject to the limitations and conditions described below. "Content" includes data and information that Tutellus may provide via the APIs from time to time, including (a) titles of courses and basic information about such coursess, e.g., instructor, syllabus, categories, subcategories, etc. (b) any other data or information that Tutellus may provide or otherwise make available from time to time. For avoidance of doubt, nothing herein obligates Tutellus to make any API or Content available to you and you agree and acknowledge that any access to such items is within the sole and absolute discretion of Tutellus.

1.2. API Modifications. Tutellus has the right but not the obligation to release subsequent versions of the API and to require you to obtain and use the most recent version. Tutellus may remove and/or cease supporting previous versions of the API. The API is currently provided for free, and while we have no plans to charge developers for access, we do reserve the right to charge for the API in the future.

1.3. Support. Tutellus has no obligation to provide you or your users with support. You are solely responsible for providing user support and any other technical assistance for your Application. If Tutellus elects at any time to provide support, it shall be considered part of the Tutellus services for purposes of Section 7, and Tutellus may terminate the support at any time without notice to you for any or no reason.

1.4. Monitoring your Use of the Tutellus API. You agree to provide us with access to your Application and/or other materials related to your use of the API as reasonably requested by us to verify your compliance with these Terms and as may be necessary to audit your use, display and storage of the Content. You agree that we may crawl or otherwise monitor online Applications and you agree not to block or interfere with such efforts by Tutellus.

1.5. Usage Limitations. Tutellus may limit the number of network calls that your Application may make via the API, and/or the maximum file size, and/or the maximum Content that may be accessed, or anything else about the API and the Content it accesses as Tutellus deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

1.6. Branding, Attribution and Goodwill. You must clearly and conspicuously attribute the source of all Content as received from Tutellus and link directly back to the relevant Tutellus sites. All Content provided by Tutellus remains the property of Tutellus, its licensees or its licensors, as applicable.

1.7. No Direct or Framed Playback. You may not hyperlink from any displayed Content directly into a playback experience. Rather, your Application must take the user to the corresponding Tutellus-branded “course detail page” (i.e., the page within the Tutellus website or a Tutellus proprietary application (e.g., an application published by and branded “Tutellus”) that describes the applicable course and provides the user the opportunity to initiate playback of the course). Your Application cannot frame playback. For purposes of this section, “playback” means when a user views, plays, performs or displays a course video from Tutellus.

1.8. Appropriate Conduct and Usage Restrictions. You are responsible for your own conduct while using the API and for any consequences thereof. You will use the API only for purposes that are legal, proper and in accordance with these Terms and any applicable policies or guidelines provided by Tutellus from time to time. In addition to the other restrictions contained in these Terms, you agree that when using the API, you will not do the following, attempt to do the following, or permit your end users or other third parties to do the following:

• · Link (i.e., hyperlink) from Tutellus Content you display to any location or domain other than the Tutellus website or a Tutellus Application;
• · Distribute Content to any third party other than directly to end users through your own Application;
• · Charge, directly or indirectly, any fee (including any unique, specific, or premium charges) for access to the Content or your integration of the APIs in your Application, or use the APIs to build an enterprise application (e.g., that you distribute to other companies) without explicit permission from Tutellus;
• · Interfere with or disrupt Tutellus services or servers or networks connected to Tutellus services, or disobey any requirements, procedures, policies or regulations of networks connected to Tutellus services;
• · Modify, add to, remove, overlay or obscure any of the Content, including text, graphics, hyperlinks or legal notices contained therein, except that (a) with respect to graphic images, you may re-size such images while maintaining the same relative proportions of the image, and (b) where technically permitted by the applicable API, you may omit some of the Content offered through the API so long as you do not alter the Content you choose to display;
• · Use the APIs in an Application containing any of the following content: adult content; pyramid schemes, chain letters or disruptive commercial messages or advertisements; infringing, or obscene content; content promoting or instructing about illegal activities or promoting physical harm or injury against any group or individual; content infringing any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right of any party; content defaming, abusing, harassing, stalking, threatening or violating the rights of privacy and publicity; content disparaging of Tutellus or its licensors, licensees, affiliates, partners, or any person or character associated with any particular movie or TV show; or anything other inappropriate or unlawful content;
• · Display the Content in a way that disparages, tarnishes, or impairs Tutellus or its or its licensors, licensees, affiliates or partners;
• · Restrict or inhibit any other user from using and enjoying Tutellus services;

• · Use any robot, spider, site search/retrieval application, or other device to retrieve or index any portion of Tutellus services or collect information about users for any unauthorized purpose;
• · Create user accounts by automated means or under false or fraudulent pretenses;
• · Sell, lease, share, transfer, sublicense any Content obtained through the APIs, directly or indirectly, to any third party, including any data broker, ad network, ad exchange, or other Application; or
• · Transmit any viruses, worms, defects, Trojan horses, or other disabling code, via the APIs or otherwise, to Tutellus, Tutellus subscribers’ or other third parties’ computers.

1.9. Legal Compliance. You and your Application will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the course of using the APIs and collecting, using, displaying storing and sharing the Content.

3.2. License Grant. You shall not acquire any right, title, or interest in or to the Tutellus Property except as expressly set forth in these Terms. Subject to your compliance with the terms and conditions in these Terms, and solely for the duration of these Terms, Tutellus grants you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-sublicensable and non-transferable license to access and use the API solely to develop, test, display, distribute and execute your Application for distribution to Tutellus subscribers; to access and display in your Application the Content and Tutellus Brands provided by Tutellus; and to allow your users to access your Application as permitted by Tutellus. You will not, and will not permit any person, directly or indirectly, to reverse engineer, disassemble, reconstruct, decompile, translate, modify, copy, or, other than as explicitly permitted hereunder, create derivative works of the APIs, Tutellus Brands, Content, or any other portion of the Tutellus website or services.

3.3. Your Warranty, Ownership and License Grants. You represent and warrant that: (a) your Application and its content is your original work or was legally obtained; and (b) our and our sublicensees' and affiliates' use of your Application and content as permitted by the licenses granted by you in these Terms (including either in Section 3.2 above or below in this Section) will not violate any third party's rights. Except to the extent your Application and its content contains Tutellus Property, Tutellus claims no ownership or control over your Application or the content sent, posted or displayed through your Application.

3.4. Tutellus Development. You understand and acknowledge that Tutellus may be independently creating applications, content and other products or services that may be similar to or competitive with your Application and its content, and nothing in these Terms will be construed as restricting or preventing Tutellus from creating and fully exploiting such applications, content and other items, without any obligation to you. If you elect to provide us with any Feedback, you hereby assign all right, title and interest in and to such Feedback to us, and acknowledge that we will be entitled to use, implement and exploit any such Feedback in any manner without restriction, and without any obligation of confidentiality, attribution or compensation or other duty to account.

4.1. Tutellus's collection and use of personal information from its users and developers is governed by Tutellus's Privacy Policy, with the exception that Tutellus may reveal personal information about developers as noted in these Terms (e.g., for attribution purposes, inclusion in the Directory (if any), and handling inquiries from users or potential users). You understand and agree that Tutellus may access, preserve, and disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, preservation, or disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process or protect the rights, property and/or safety of Tutellus, its affiliates or partners, its subscribers, or the general public.

4.2. You must not circumvent the log-in mechanism provided by Tutellus that enables Tutellus customers to log in. For information you obtain from users of your Application or the Tutellus API, you will, at all times, maintain a privacy policy that tells users what information you are going to use and how you will use, display, share or transfer that information. You must clearly post a link to your privacy policy at the point or points such information is collected and you must seek a user's informed written consent at any time that you are collecting and/or will make available to third parties such user's personally identifiable information. At all times you must comply with your privacy policy in the collection, use, display, sharing and storage of such information.

4.3. You will not ask for, view, store, access, or cache the sign-in name or passwords to Tutellus subscribers’ accounts. However, you may ask for your users' email addresses (which may or may not be the same as such user's sign-in name) for communicating with your users about the Application.

4.4. You must implement reasonable technical, physical and administrative security measures to protect any Content and any personal data obtained from the API or otherwise from users of your Application.

You can promote your Application and get Revenues through the Tutellus Affiliate Program. You have all comercial terms in section 10 of General Terms.

You may promote your Application, including talking to traditional and online media and your users about your Application, so long as you do so truthfully and without implying that your Application is created or endorsed by Tutellus (or otherwise embellishing your relationship with Tutellus) or by a third party Content provider or any person or instructor associated with any particular Course. For example, you may factually state that your Application is an application that includes Tutellus data or an application for use with Tutellus (so long as you are in full compliance with these Terms). However, you may not issue any formal press release via traditional or online media without Tutellus's prior consent.

You agree to hold harmless and indemnify Tutellus, and its subsidiaries, affiliates and licensors, and their respective officers, agents, and employees, advertisers or partners, from and against any claim arising from or in any way related to your use of any Tutellus Property, violation of these Terms of Use, violation of applicable laws and regulations, including, without limitation, privacy laws, or any other actions or claims connected with or related to your Application and/or use of Tutellus services, including any liability or expense arising from all claims, losses, damages (actual and consequential), suits, judgments, litigation costs and attorneys' fees, of every kind and nature.
