Welcome to Lingt's online assignment creation service (the "Service"). Your use of the Service is subject to these Terms of Service ("TOS"). Lingt reserves the right to update and change the TOS from time to time without notice or acceptance by you. The TOS will also be applicable to the use of the Service on a trial basis. By using the Service, you signify your irrevocable acceptance of this TOS.
The Service is web-based and allows users that register for an account on the Service (an "Account Holder") to create and update an online language teaching platform on LingtLanguage.com. Once registered with the Service, each Account Holder receives his or her own account to create and manage online language learning assignments. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new Lingt tools and resources, shall be subject to the TOS. In order to use the Service, you must obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any service fees associated with such access. In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the World Wide Web, including a computer and modem or other access device. You also understand and agree that the service may include certain communications from Lingt, such as service announcements, administrative messages and customer feedback inqueries, and that these communications are considered part of Lingt membership and you will be able to opt out of receiving them. You agree not to access the Service by any means other than through the interfaces that are provided by Lingt for use in accessing the Service.
In order to use the Service, you must have a valid Lingt ID. To be an Account Holder with your own account, you must provide Lingt with a valid email address and other information ("Registration Data"). As an Account Holder, you will choose a password and account designation for your account during the Service's registration process. In the early BETA stages, Lingt may register your account for you under an agreeable username that can be changed and a password that you can and should change upon acceptance of your account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify Lingt in writing of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. Lingt cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this Section 3. In consideration of use of the Service, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration form, and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or Lingt has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Lingt has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof).
If you cancel the Service, your cancellation will take effect immediately. After cancellation, you will no longer have access to your account and all information contained therein may be deleted by Lingt. Lingt accepts no liability for such deleted information or content.
You agree Lingt, in its sole discretion, may terminate your password, and/or account, and remove and discard any Content within the Service (including, but not limited to your web site if you are an Account Holder), for any reason, including and without limitation, the lack of use, or if Lingt believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of the TOS. Any contracts, verbal or written or assumed, in conjunction with your deleted web site (as applicable) and all its parts, at Lingt's discretion, will be terminated as well. Lingt may also in its sole discretion and at any time, discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of this TOS may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Lingt may immediately deactivate or delete your account, as applicable, and all related information and files.
