You understand that all information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, tags, or other materials ("Content"), whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, are the sole responsibility of the person from whom such Content originated.

You acknowledge that IMS may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Service, including without limitation the maximum number of days that Content will be retained by the Service, the maximum size of any or all Content files, the maximum disk space that will be allotted on IMS's servers on your behalf, and the maximum number of times (and the maximum duration for which) you may access the Service in a given period of time, and/or any other condition of the Service. You agree that IMS has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to store any Content, messages and other communications or other materials or Content maintained or transmitted by the Service.

LTI Advantage Reference Implementation and LTI Insights PRIVACY POLICY

In addition to the IMS Global Privacy Policy, LTI Advantage Reference Implementation and LTI Insights allows for the uploading of files containing institutional data.

In addition, those details are used to create Caliper messages which are then sent to LTI Insights for analysis. You are responsible for not submitting personally identifiable information, confidential information or any information you do not want publicly displayed or accessed. Uploaded data is stored and made available publicly.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and IMS concerning your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and IMS with respect to the Service.

The Terms and the relationship between you and IMS shall be governed by the laws of the State of Massachusetts without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and IMS agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the city of Boston, Massachusetts. The failure of IMS to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect. The section titles in the Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.

AMENDMENTS

These Terms are subject to occasional revision, and if we make any substantial changes, we may notify you by sending you an e-mail to the last e-mail address you provided to us (if any) and/or by prominently posting notice of the changes on our site. Any changes to these Terms will be effective no later than thirty (30) calendar days following our posting of notice of the changes on our Site. Continued use of our Service following notice of such changes shall indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of such changes.

In addition to any fees required to access certain features, capabilities, functions or services offered through or by the Service ("Charged Offerings"), you are responsible for paying all applicable taxes (including, but not limited to those we are not required to collect) and for all third party hardware, software, service and/or other costs you may incur in order to access the Service and your account. Neither these Terms nor your account entitle you to any subsequent releases of the Services, nor to any for-pay features, products, capabilities, features, upgrades or services offered, distributed or made available through the Service without paying applicable charges or except as otherwise expressly and explicitly provided by IMS.

Converting an account and/or specific Service version or offering, including but not limited to trial or limited functionality rights offerings, to an enhanced account and/or fee-based version of the Service or other paid account, version or other Charged Offering may result in the loss of access to the information or other data associated with your use of the free or non-paid version of the Service.

You may terminate your account at any time. You will not receive full or partial refunds for subscription periods that you have purchased. Terminating a subscription for one Charged Offering does not necessarily terminate right(s) you may have for another Charged Offering, other portions of the Service, software or other offerings from IMS.
