Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless AtomicSchools and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your violation of these Terms; (b) your use of the Services; (c) your User Content; or (d) your violation of any rights of any third party.

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Services immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including if you breach these Terms.
Upon termination, your right to use the Services will immediately cease. Provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnification, and limitations of liability.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify Institutions by email or by posting a notice on our website at least thirty (30) days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of the revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any applicable subscription agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and AtomicSchools regarding the Services.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights hereunder without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction.
