Welcome to Exploros! Please read our Terms of Service carefully before accessing or using the Exploros website or any of the Exploros mobile applications. By accessing or registering at the Exploros website, and/or by downloading any of the Exploros mobile applications, you agree to become bound by these Terms of Service. When we use the word “Services,” we mean not only the Exploros.com website, but also all the other websites, products, services, and applications made available by Exploros. If you do not agree to all the Terms of Service, then you may not access the Exploros website or use any of our products or services. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding these Terms or the Services, please contact us at support@exploros.com.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Exploros Services are intended for use by teachers and by educational institutions, public or private.
Exploros is available in the U.S. to individuals aged 13 years or older. If you are 12 or younger, you must review this Agreement with your parent or guardian to make sure that you and your parent or guardian understand it.
Outside the U.S.: If you are under the age of majority in your country of residence, you must review this Agreement with your parent or guardian to make sure that you and your parent or guardian understand it. We reserve the right to change this Agreement from time to time without notice. You agree that it is your responsibility to review this Agreement frequently to learn of any modifications.
We only collect personal information through the Services from a child under 13 where that student’s school, district, and/or teacher has agreed (via the terms described in the following paragraph) to obtain parental consent for that child to use the Services and disclose personal information to us, for the use and benefit of the learning environment. If you are a student under 13, please do not send any personal information about yourself to us if your school, district, and/or teacher has not obtained this prior consent from your parent or guardian, and please do not send any personal information other than what we request from you in connection with the Services. If we learn we have collected personal information from a student under 13 without parental consent being obtained by his or her school, district, and/or teacher, or if we learn a student under 13 has provided us personal information beyond what we request from him or her, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a student under 13 may have provided us personal information in violation of this paragraph, please contact us at support@exploros.com.
If you are a school, district, or teacher, you represent and warrant that you are solely responsible for complying with COPPA, meaning that you must obtain advance written consent from all parents or guardians whose children under 13 will be accessing the Services. You are responsible for understanding how any third-party products that you install on behalf of yourself or other users may collect and use information of users of Exploros’s Services. When obtaining consent, you must provide parents and guardians with our Privacy Policy. If you are a teacher, you represent and warrant that you have permission and authorization from your school and/or district to use the Services as part of your curriculum, and for purposes of COPPA compliance, you represent and warrant that you are entering into these Terms on behalf of your school and/or district.
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding contract between you and Exploros, Inc. (“Exploros,” and sometimes, “we” and “us”). You must agree and accept all of the Terms, or you don’t have the right to use the Services. Your using the Services in any way means that you agree to all of these Terms, and these Terms will remain in effect while you use the Services.
We reserve the right to change this Agreement from time to time without notice. You agree that it is your responsibility to review this Agreement frequently to learn of any modifications.

Exploros prohibits Publishers from collecting or using any information beyond what Exploros itself collects and uses pursuant to its Privacy Policy, but this does not mean we are responsible for reviewing or verifying the accuracy of any Publisher’s data collection or use policies.

However, we reserve the right at all times to determine whether Content is appropriate and in compliance with this Agreement, and may prescreen and/or remove Content at any time if such Content is found to be in violation of this Agreement or is otherwise objectionable. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) relates to online service providers like Exploros removing material that they believe in good faith violates someone’s copyright.
