Welcome to the Mobile Electronics Certified Professional Program which offers products and services provided by the Certification System Technology Company (CTSC)™ and our subsidiaries (collectively “CTSC”, “us,” “we,” or “our”) located at 3029 Cody Hill Rd, Nashville, TN 37211, United States. These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of our website, apps, and other products and services (“Services”). As some of our Services may be software that is downloaded to your computer, phone, tablet, or other device, you agree that we may automatically update this software, and that these Terms will apply to such updates. Please read these Terms carefully, and contact us if you have any questions.
By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms, including the policies referenced in these Terms.
You may only use our Services in compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws.
When you create your CTSC account, and subsequently when you use certain features, you must provide us with accurate and complete information, and you agree to update your information to keep it accurate and complete. Any use or access by anyone under the age of 13 is prohibited. You agree to follow any policies made available to you while using any of CTSC’s Services.
CTSC offers content (“Content Offerings”) subject matter experts, industry best practices, and other providers (“Content Providers”). While we seek to provide premier Content Offerings unexpected events do occur. CTSC reserves the right to pause, cancel, interrupt, reschedule, or modify any Content Offerings, or change the completion or progress method of any learning content, quiz, or other assessment, either solely, or in accordance with partner instructions. Content Offerings are subject to the Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability sections below.
Unless otherwise explicitly indicated by a credit-granting institution, participation in or completion of Content Offerings does not confer any academic credit. Even if credit is awarded by an institution or organization, it is at their sole discretion. You agree not to accept certification for completing a Content Offering unless you personally have earned a course certificate or other equivalent documentation of your completion of the Content Offering. CTSC, instructors, and the associated Content Providers have no obligation to have Content Offerings recognized by any educational institution or accreditation organization.
Nothing in these Terms or otherwise with respect to your participation in any Content Offerings by Content Providers: (a) establishes any relationship between you and any Content Provider partner; (b) enrolls or registers you in any Content Provider, partner organization, role or other institution, or in any other Content Offering offered by any Content Provider partner; or (c) entitles you to use the resources of any Content Provider partner beyond participation in the Content Offering.
The Services enable you to share your progress through the learning content, quizzes, and exams you submit, and the like (“User Content”), with CTSC, its employees, and/or other users. User Content does not include course content or other materials made available on or placed on to the CTSC platform by or on behalf of Content Providers using the Services or Content Offerings. As between CTSC and Content Providers, such Content Offerings are governed by the relevant agreements in place between CTSC and Content Providers.
To the extent that you provide User Content, you grant CTSC a fully-transferable, royalty-free, perpetual, sublicensable, non-exclusive, worldwide license to promote, share, and use the User Content. This license includes granting CTSC the right to authorize Content Providers to use User Content with their registered students, or other learners independent of the Services. Nothing in these Terms shall restrict other legal rights CTSC may have to User Content, for example under other licenses. We reserve the right to remove or modify User Content for any reason, including User Content that we believe violates these Terms or other policies including our Acceptable Use Policy and Code of Conduct.
We welcome your suggestions, ideas, comments, and other feedback regarding the Services (“Feedback”). By submitting any Feedback, you grant us the right to use the Feedback without any restriction or any compensation to you. By accepting your Feedback, CTSC does not waive any rights to use similar or related Feedback previously known to CTSC, developed by our employees, contractors, or obtained from other sources.
