Take-Down Policy

The Site include text, forums, photo galleries and other interactive areas in which Members and other users can express opinions and share ideas and information related to teaching and education. We cannot and do not monitor all of the material submitted to the Site. Additionally, we do not control, and are not responsible for, Content submitted by Members and other users.

By using the Site, you may be exposed to Content that you may find offensive, indecent, inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise objectionable. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of the Site and any Content on the Site, including, but not limited to, whether you should rely on such Content. We are neither obligated to monitor nor control any content that members or other users post or upload to the Site. We are not responsible for any inappropriate or otherwise offending material or content posted on the Site by any members or other users.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge that we shall have the right (but not the obligation) to review any Content that you have submitted to the Site, and to reject, delete, disable, or remove any Content that we determine, in our sole discretion, (a) does not comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (b) might violate any law, infringe upon any rights of third parties, or subject us to liability for any reason; or (c) might adversely affect our public image, reputation or goodwill. Moreover, we reserve the right to reject, delete, disable, or remove any Content at any time, for the reasons set forth above, for any other reason, or for no reason and to report to law enforcement officials any conduct we believe in our sole discretion to be inappropriate, illegal or otherwise in violation of this Agreement.

If you believe that any Content on any of the Site infringes upon any copyrights that you own, please contact us pursuant to the procedures outlined in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (Title 17 U.S.C. § 512) at the following address:

You agree not to submit, post or upload any Content:

· that infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights of any party, or Content that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships;

We encourage our Members to ‘flag’ Content or other posts that do not comply with this Agreement either by clicking on an “Flag as Copyrighted”, “Flag as Offensive” button or by e-mailing us at service@theteachersuite.com. Each Member who reports abusive conduct must explain why he or she believes the conduct violates this Agreement, and we will determine whether or not to remove the Content at issue. If the Member who posted the content at issue is flagged again and we, in our discretion deem to be a legitimate violation of the Terms, we reserve the right to terminate or suspend that Member’s account, without refund of any registration fees. Please keep in mind that only content or conduct that legitimately violates this Agreement or any applicable laws may be flagged – content that a Member simply disagrees with or finds distasteful does not, without more, qualify as violative under this standard. If we determine that a Member who flags content repeatedly does so without a reasonable basis, we also reserve the right to terminate the account of the Member who engaged in such reporting or flagging.
