BADGR TERMS OF SERVICE Hello and welcome to Badgr, a service provided by Concentric Sky, Inc., a U.S. corporation (“CSky,” “us,” “we,” or “our”) through our websites (badgr.io, badgr.com, and badgr.org), and our APIs (collectively “the Site” or “Badgr”). Badgr is an online platform to create, curate, issue, receive, explore, and share micro-credentials (“Badges”). Badgr allows organizations to access tools to issue Badges to Badge Recipients as well as various related administrative tools and services, and it allows individuals to receive Badges as an indicator of accomplishment or skill (e.g. successful completion of a degree or a continuing education course). As used in these Badgr Terms of Service, “you,” “yours,” “they,” “them” refers to the person and/or organization logging into Badgr or otherwise accessing the Site. If you are a Badge recipient or just visiting our Site, the Badgr Terms of Service is the master contract that governs your use of Badgr as a Badge recipient or when visiting our Site. If you are accessing Badgr on behalf of an organization with a business account, the Badgr Terms of Service is the master contract that governs your use of Badgr and access to the Site unless your organization has a master agreement with us. An organization with a business account might, for example, access Badgr to issue Badges via the web interface, facilitate a Badge transfer on behalf of one or more badge recipients (e.g. a clearinghouse) or to access the Badgr API to enable automated Badge issuance. If your organization has a master agreement with us, these Badgr Terms of Service are incorporated into and made a part of that master agreement and they apply to your access to the Site and use of Badgr. In all cases, your access and use of the Site is subject to the terms and conditions set out below in these Badgr Terms of Service and the other documents listed below (collectively, “Terms”). The Terms consist of the following documents: <ol> <li>Badgr Terms of Service. These contain the core legal and commercial terms that apply to your use of Badgr. Where there is a master agreement in place, however, the master agreement will control.</li> <li>Badgr Privacy Policy. This policy describes how we collect, manage, use, store, and share data in our capacity as a controller, including when you are just visiting our Site, you are only accessing Badgr to receive Badges, or you contact us for Badgr services pricing or other information and your organization does not yet have a business account. It also describes your rights of access, deletion, and correction of your data.</li> <li>Badgr Business Account Privacy Policy. This policy describes how we collect, receive, use, store, share, transfer, and process data in our capacity as a processor, including processing personal information in connection with the use of Badgr under a Business Account (defined below). It also describes the rights of access, deletion, and correction of data of users accessing Badgr through a Business Account.</li> <li>Data Processing Addendum (DPA). This explains how we process data, including in compliance with European Data Protection Laws (defined in the DPA) and the California Consumer Privacy act of 2018 (CCPA), where applicable.</li> </ol> We have tried to make these documents as easy to read as possible, but in some places for legal reasons, some of the language is necessarily “legalese.” You indicate your agreement to these Terms by clicking or tapping on a button indicating your acceptance of these Terms, by executing a document that references them, or by using Badgr. TERMS OF SERVICE 1. THE BADGR SERVICE. 1.1 Description. Badgr is an online platform to create, curate, issue, receive, explore, and share Badges. Users can access tools to issue Badges to learners and other persons eligible to receive a Badge (each a “Badge Recipient”), as well as associated administrative tools and services. Badge Recipients and other individuals eligible to receive a Badge can utilize Badgr to receive, organize and display Badges). Badgr also includes features that integrate with products and services offered by third parties to facilitate the micro-credentialing process and the sharing of Badges. For example, the Badgr Pathways tool allows users to interact with Badges from other Open Badge Specification compliant platforms. 1.2 Open Badges. a. Badges are based on the Open Badge Specification developed through the work of IMS Global Learning Consortium, Inc. (“IMS Global”) and its members, including CSky. CSky expects all users to respect the Open Badge Specification. CSky plays no role in determining the value or veracity of a Badge, and CSky does not endorse or vouch for the qualifications of any Badge Recipient. The issuer of a Badge is solely responsible for determining the value and veracity of each Badge and the qualifications of each prospective Badge Recipient. b. In 2020 IMS Global launched the Badge Connect™ API open standard, an initiative that was developed in partnership with its members, including CSky. As a supporter of the Badge Connect standard, CSky allows third parties to send Badges between Badgr and third-party services on behalf of Badge Recipients. The third party accessing Badgr for such purposes is solely responsible for obtaining the Badge Recipient’s consent in advance of accessing Badgr for such purposes and for ensuring it shares the Badge Recipient’s Badges only with third-party services the Badge Recipient has expressly authorized. Any third party accessing Badgr to facilitate Badge sharing must have a Business Account. c. When a Badge is issued by the owner of a Business Account, pursuant to the Open Badge Specifications, Badgr creates a publicly available webpage for the Badge. This means the Badge and the associated Badge meta-data automatically becomes publicly available information upon issuance. In addition, once a Badge is issued, that Badge becomes sharable at the discretion of the Badge Recipient. Notwithstanding this change in status, an issuer of a Badge always has the ability to correct Badge information or delete a Badge through its Business Account. 1.3 Eligibility. You may only access and use Badgr if you can form a binding contract with CSky and only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws. You must be 13 years old or older to use Badgr. 1.4 Changes to Badgr. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue Badgr (or any part or feature thereof) with or without notice. For example, we may change Badgr’s pricing at any time or add new fees and charges from time to time, but will provide notice to you of these changes via information on the Site. You acknowledge that CSky may establish general practices and limits concerning use of Badgr, including, without limitation, the maximum period of time that data or other content will be retained on our servers. CSky shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of Badgr. 1.5 Prohibited Uses. Except for access to facilitate Badge sharing under the Badge Connect™ API open standard as described in Section 1.2.b. above or where you have otherwise received express permission from CSky, you are at all times prohibited from accessing or otherwise using the Site: (a) to build a competitive product or service or (b) in conjunction with any other services that you sell or otherwise monetize. You are at all times prohibited from circumventing, or attempting to circumvent, any limitations that we impose on your account, Badgr Content, or other services provided through the Site, including without limitation the Badgr APIs. 2. ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT. 2.1 Registered Users. Some Badgr features are only available if you register a user account. Users who register an account (each a “Registered User”) have access to additional features and functions of the Site, for example, only Registered Users can create, curate, and issue Badges. 2.2 Account Owner. The person registering for Badgr is the owner of such Badgr account (“Account Owner”), provided that if you are registering for Badgr on behalf of an organization, such organization shall be the Account Owner of the Business Account (“Business Account Owner”). If you are registering for Badgr on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind such organization to these Terms and in such case “you” and “your” as used in these Terms refers to that organization. A “Business Account” is a Badgr account created on behalf of and maintained by an organization and which is used for non-personal reasons (i.e. not used solely for receiving Badges). Examples of the types of organizations that might have a Business Account are: a corporation or other for-profit business entity, a public institution, such as a university or state agency, a public charity, and a private foundation. 2.3 Registered User Types. a. Badge Recipient. A Badge Recipient must become a Registered User before it can use Badgr to share any Badges issued within Badgr. To register, the following information is typically required: email, first name, last name/family name. b. Business Account User Types. (1) Administrator. The Business Account Owner shall designate one or more administrators who shall have full access to, and administration rights over, all areas of the Site available to the Business Account Owner (“Administrator”). The Business Account Owner may change the Administrators at any time through the Site. The Administrator must also be a Registered User. (2) Editors and Staff Members. “Editors” are mid-level administrators who may create, edit, delete, and issue Badges. “Staff Members” are minimum-level administrators who can issue Badges that have been created by the Administrator or Editors. The Administrator may choose to designate one or more Editors and/or Staff Members. Editors and Staff Members must also be Registered Users. 2.4 Registration. If you choose to register for a user account, you agree to provide and maintain accurate, complete, and current information about yourself as prompted by the registration form. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and account information, and are fully responsible for any and all activities that occur under your account. Registered Users agree to (a) immediately notify CSky of any suspected or actual unauthorized use of their password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that they exit from their Registered User account at the end of each session when accessing the Site. CSky will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from a Registered User’s failure to comply with this provision. 2.5 Third-Party Registration and Login. We may offer you the ability to register an account using Facebook, Google, or other third-party services. If you choose to register via a third-party service or connect an account from a third-party service to your Badgr account, CSky may have access to certain information made available by you through such third-party service. CSky does not control, is not responsible for, does not endorse, and fully disclaims any and all liability associated with your use of such third-party services. Third-party products and services are subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policies of such third-party providers. You represent and warrant that you will comply with all terms and conditions associated with such third-party services, and agree to defend and hold CSky, its subsidiaries and affiliates harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to any such third-party services. 3.
