Pinnovate SARL. (“Pinnovate” or “we”) provides the platform Coursella (“Coursella” or “the platform”) which enables course or group leaders (“Instructors”) and course or group members (“Students”) to manage their educational courses and other groups (“courses”) through our website, accessible at www.coursella.com (the “Site”; and the services provided through such Site, the “Service”).  Using the Site, Instructors create courses where Students (and other users where the course, or certain course-pages within the course, are made “public” by the Instructor, and so generally readable by the public) can access materials and information related to the course, and where Instructors and Students can post messages and updates about course-related topics.  We want to make communication between Instructors and Students, and between Students, easier so that learning can be more interactive and fun.

Please read carefully the following terms and conditions (“Terms”) which is accessible at www.coursella.com/terms/ and which is incorporated by reference into these Terms.  These Terms govern your access to and use of the Site, Service and Collective Content (defined below), and constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Pinnovate.

We will not make the Site and Service available to persons who are 13 or younger, and you are prohibited from inviting or permitting persons who are 13 or younger to join a course created by you, unless a written agreement is in place between Pinnovate and the school or school district you work for permitting Pinnovate to collect personal information from students for the use and benefit of the school or school district.

Account Registration

In order to access certain features of the Site and Service and to post any Member Content on the Site or through the Service you must register to create an account (“Account”) and become a Member.

You may register directly via the Site or by logging into your Account with certain third party social media or social networking sites (“SNS”) (including, but not limited to, Facebook) via the Site, as described herein.  If you decide to register through an SNS, we may extract the personal information you have provided to the SNS (such as for instance your “real” name, photograph, email address and other information you make publicly available via the SNS) from the account you have with the applicable SNS and use that information to create your Account.  The specific information that we extract may depend on the privacy settings you have with the SNS.  You hereby consent to our access to and collection of such personal information about you.  During the registration process, you will be required to provide certain information and you will establish a username and a password.

You agree to provide accurate, current and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current and complete.  Pinnovate reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Account if any information provided during the registration process or thereafter proves to be inaccurate, not current or incomplete.  You are responsible for safeguarding your password.  You agree that you will not disclose your password to any third party and that you will take sole responsibility for any activities or actions under your Account, whether or not you have authorized such activities or actions.  You will immediately notify Pinnovate of any unauthorized use of your Account.

Public & Private Courses; Privacy

Instructors, when creating a course or at any time thereafter, can choose whether the different pages within the course (e.g., the syllabus, the calendar, the list of members and the course discussions) will be “private” or “public.”  If every page within the course is “private”, the name of the course may still be visible to the public, but the course-pages will only be available to Members who join the particular course.  If all or certain pages within the course are public, these course-pages (e.g., the syllabus, the calendar, the list of members and the course discussions) will be generally readable by the public, although individual grades and submissions will always be visible only to the Instructor and the particular Student. IF YOU ARE AN INSTRUCTOR, PLEASE CAREFULLY CONSIDER DESIGNATING COURSE-PAGES AS  “PRIVATE” OR “PUBLIC.”  IF YOU ARE A STUDENT, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT AN INSTRUCTOR CAN CHANGE A “PRIVATE” COURSE-PAGE TO A “PUBLIC” COURSE-PAGE AT ANY TIME; PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN SETTING YOUR PRIVACY SETTINGS IN YOUR ACCOUNT.

When creating a course, as an Instructor, you will be provided with a course-specific code which can be used to join the course and you can provide this course-specific code to people you want to invite to join the course.  Please note that Pinnovate cannot ensure that the persons with whom an Instructor shares this course-specific code will not share the code with other individuals.  As such, we cannot guarantee that only those persons that an Instructor invites to join a course will join.  If you are the Instructor, you will be responsible for requesting the persons you invite not to share the code with others.  If you have a concern that uninvited Students have joined a “private” course, please contact the course Instructor, who can remove them. You can also contact us at [email protected].

You may only join a private course if you are given a code by the Instructor or receive an invitation email from Coursella on behalf of your Instructor.  If you receive a code or invitation from an Instructor to join course, you are prohibited from sharing either with any third party without the Instructor’s prior consent.
