Unless otherwise stated herein, any Content that you provide in connection with this website shall be deemed to be provided on a non-confidential basis. Applied Tutoring shall be free to use or disseminate such Content on an unrestricted basis for any purpose, and you grant Applied Tutoring an irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, nonexclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, transmit, display, perform, adapt, resell and publish such Content (including in digital form).

general terms
The Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Applied Tutoring relating to their subject matter, and cancel and supersede any prior versions of the Terms.

You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use Applied Tutoring or third-party products or services.
You agree that any material breach of the Terms will result in irreparable harm to Applied Tutoring for which damages would be an inadequate remedy and, therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, Applied Tutoring will be entitled to equitable relief, including both a preliminary and permanent injunction, if such a breach occurs. You waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security if Applied Tutoring seeks such an injunction.
Any express waiver or failure to exercise promptly any right under the Terms will not create a continuing waiver or any expectation of non-enforcement. If any provision of the Terms is held invalid by any law or regulation of any government, or by any court or arbitrator, the parties agree that such provision will be replaced with a new provision that accomplishes the original business purpose, and the other provisions of the Terms will remain in full force and effect.
