Fees and Purchase Agreement; Purchase Orders.
- Sale of Service, not Software. The purpose of these Terms of Service is for you to secure access to the Services. All fees specified and paid by you under these Terms of Service will be considered solely in furtherance of this purpose. In no way are these fees paid considered payment for the sale, license, or use of the software and technology underlying the Services, and, furthermore, any use of such software and technology by you in furtherance of this Terms of Service will be considered merely in support of the purpose of this Terms of Service.

An Order may take the form of: (a) an electronic form (e.g., an order placed online through a Frontline website), (b) an order form generated by Frontline and executed by both parties, or (c) a purchase order that you submit and pursuant to which you are provided access to the Services. Unless you have entered into a separate Frontline Customer Agreement, your access to and use of any Services is governed by these Terms of Service and the terms of the applicable Order, provided however that the only terms contained in a purchase order that will have any force or effect are the Services ordered and the price to be paid. All other terms contained in any purchase order are expressly rejected. All fees and charges will be specified in the applicable Orders. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Orders, Frontline will invoice you in U.S. Dollars and you will pay all fees, charges, and expenses within 30 days of the date of an invoice via check or ACH. Without prejudice to its other rights and remedies, if Frontline does not receive any payment by the due date set forth in the applicable Orders, Frontline may assess a late payment charge on the unpaid amount at the rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate allowed under applicable law, whichever is less. If for any reason Frontline’s personnel travel to your facility or otherwise in connection with the Services under these Terms of Service or the applicable Orders, you will be responsible for the reasonable costs of transportation, lodging, meals, and the like for Frontline’s personnel.
- Payment. For certain Services you may elect, or you may be required, to provide a valid credit card. By submitting the credit card, you authorize us to charge to your credit card the fees or charges applicable to your Account as specified in any Order, or if any Order is renewing automatically as provided in Section 14, in accordance with the fees, charges, and billing terms in effect at the time off the renewal and a fee or charge is due and payable. You agree that Frontline is not required to provide you any additional notice. Your agreement with your credit card issuer governs your use of the designated credit card and you must refer to that agreement to determine your rights and liabilities in connection with your use of your credit card. You agree to immediately notify Frontline of any change in your billing address or the credit card used for payment.
- Sales Taxes. Frontline’s fees are net of any applicable sales tax that may be due in connection with the Services provided under these Terms of Service. If Frontline determines it has a legal obligation to collect a sales tax from you in connection with these Terms of Service, Frontline shall collect such sales tax in addition to any fees described. If any Services, or payments for any Services, under these Terms of Service are subject to sales tax in any jurisdiction and you have not remitted the applicable sales tax to Frontline, you will be responsible for the payment of such sales tax and any related penalties or interest to the relevant tax authority, and you will indemnify Frontline for any liability or expense we may incur in connection with such sales tax. Upon Frontline’s request, you will provide us with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or other such evidence that you have paid all applicable taxes. For purposes of this section, “sales tax” shall mean any sales or use tax and any other tax measured by sales proceeds that is the functional equivalent of a sales tax where the applicable taxing jurisdiction does not otherwise impose a sales or use tax.
- Withholding Taxes. You agree to make all payments of fees to Frontline free and clear of, and without reduction for, any withholding taxes. Any such taxes imposed on payments of fees to Frontline will be your sole responsibility, and you will provide Frontline with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority, or such other evidence as we may reasonably request, to establish that such taxes have been paid.
- Automatic Renewal. Your Order may continue indefinitely until terminated in accordance with these Terms of Service (see Section 14). After the initial term of your Order, and again after any subsequent terms, your Order will automatically commence on the first day following the end of such period (each a “Renewal Commencement Date”) and continue for an additional equivalent period in accordance with Section 14, at Frontline’s then-current price for such Services. You agree that your Account will be subject to this automatic renewal feature unless you cancel your subscription at least 30 days prior to the Renewal Commencement Date (or in the event that you receive a notice from Frontline that your subscription will be automatically renewed, you will have 30 days from the date of the Frontline notice), by logging into and going to the “Change/Cancel Membership” page of your “Account Settings” page. If you do not wish your Account to renew automatically, or if you want to change or terminate your Services, please contact Frontline at: Frontline Education, Attn: Legal Department, 1400 Atwater Drive, Malvern, PA 19355, or log in and go to the “Change/Cancel Membership” page on your “Account Settings” page. If you cancel your Services, you may use your Services until the end of your then-current term; your Services will not be renewed after your then-current term expires. However, you will not be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the fees paid for the then-current term. By accessing the Services, you authorize Frontline to charge your credit card now, and again at the beginning of any subsequent term. Upon renewal of your Services, if Frontline does not receive payment from your credit card, (a) you agree to pay all amounts due on your Account upon demand, and (b) you agree that Frontline may either terminate or suspend your Services and continue to attempt to charge your credit card until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your Account will be activated and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new Services commitment period will begin as of the day payment was received).
- Third-Party Provider. Frontline uses PayPal or CyberSource (each, a “Payment Service Provider”) as third-party service providers for payment services (e.g., card acceptance, merchant settlement, and related services). By buying on the Frontline Technology, you agree to be bound by the Payment Service Provider’s Privacy Policy, as applicable: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full or https://www.cybersource.com/privacy/ and hereby consent and authorize Frontline and the Payment Service Provider to share any information and payment instructions you provide with third party service providers to the extent required to complete your transactions

The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or request for relief under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, will be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other disputes will be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing, or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Frontline will pay them for you. In addition, Frontline will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing or other fees for disputes, claims, or requests for relief totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.
You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. - Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement, and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Frontline. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Terms of Service (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
- Waiver of Jury Trial. You and Frontline waive any constitutional and statutory rights to sue in court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury. You and Frontline are instead electing that all disputes, claims, or request for relief will be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 17.1 above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms of Service as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
- Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. All disputes, claims, and requests for relief within the scope of this Arbitration Agreement must be arbitrated on an individual basis and not on a class or collective basis, only individual relief is available, and claims of more than one customer or user cannot be arbitrated or consolidated with those of any other customer or user. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given dispute, claim, or request for relief, then such aspect must be severed from the arbitration and brought in the State or Federal Courts located in the State of Pennsylvania. All other disputes, claims, or requests for relief shall be arbitrated.
- 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to (a) the following address: Frontline Education, Attn: Legal Department, 1400 Atwater Drive, Malvern, PA 19355, or (b) the following email address: [email protected], within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your Frontline username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Frontline account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms of Service will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with Frontline.
- Severability. Except as provided in subsection 17.5, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts will be of no force and effect and will be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
- Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Frontline.
- Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Service to the contrary, Frontline agrees that if Frontline makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within 30 days of such change becoming effective by writing Frontline at the following address: Frontline Education, Attn: Legal Department, 1400 Atwater Drive, Malvern, PA 19355.
- Electronic Communications. The communications between you and Frontline use electronic means, whether you access any Service or send Frontline e-mails, or whether Frontline posts notices on Frontline Technology or communicates with you via e-mail. For contractual purposes and unless the Parties have entered into a Frontline Customer Agreement, you (1) consent to receive communications from Frontline in an electronic form; and (2) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Frontline provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were to be in writing. The foregoing does not affect your statutory rights, Including the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act at 15 U.S.C. §7001 et seq. (“E-Sign”).
- Notice. Where Frontline requires that you provide an e-mail address, you are responsible for providing Frontline with your most current e-mail address. If the last e-mail address you provided to Frontline is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required or permitted by these Terms of Service, Frontline’s dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may give notice to Frontline at the following address: Frontline Education, Attn: Legal Department, 1400 Atwater Drive, Malvern, PA 19355. Such notice shall be deemed given when received by Frontline by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first-class postage prepaid mail at the above address.
- Release. You release Frontline Parties and their successors from claims, demands, any and all losses, damages, rights, and actions of any kind, including personal injuries, death, and property damage, that is either directly or indirectly related to or arises from your use of Services, including any interactions with or conduct of other Registered Users or third-party websites of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of the Terms of Service or your use of Services. If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states, “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.” The foregoing release does not apply to any claims, demands, or any losses, damages, rights and actions of any kind, including personal injuries, death or property damage for any unconscionable commercial practice by a Frontline party or for such party’s fraud, deception, false, promise, misrepresentation or concealment, suppression or omission of any material fact in connection with any Services provided.
- General. Frontline and you are each independent contractors and neither party will be, nor represent itself to be, the franchiser, partner, broker, employee, servant, agent, or legal representative of the other party for any purpose whatsoever. You may not sublicense, assign, or transfer these Terms of Service, or any rights and obligations under these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, without Frontline’s prior written consent. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section will be void. This Terms of Service will be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the permitted successors and assigns of each party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms of Service, except for your obligations to pay amounts due under this Terms of Service, neither party will be deemed to be in default of any provision of these Terms of Service for any delay, error, failure, or interruption of performance due to any act of God, terrorism, war, strike, or other labor or civil disturbance, interruption of power service, interruption of communications services, problems with the Internet, act of any other person not under the control of such party, or other similar cause. The waiver or failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided under these Terms of Service will not be deemed a waiver of such right in the future or a waiver of any other rights established under these Terms of Service. If any portion of these Terms of Service is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intention of the parties, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. To the extent the parties are permitted under these Terms of Service to initiate litigation in a court, both you and Frontline agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms of Service will be litigated exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. These Terms of Service do not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties, except Frontline’s licensors. When used, the words “includes” and “including” and their syntactical variations will be deemed followed by the words “without limitation.”
