OTHER
These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Michigan, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of
law. You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating
to these terms or arising out of this site shall be resolved through binding arbitration
using the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association, in Michigan
and the resulting decisions may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction.
This means that if you have a grievance with us, you cannot take us to court.
You can address such grievances through arbitration only and you are hereby consenting
to do it in Michigan, using Michigan's laws (without regard to Michigan's conflicts
of laws). If any provision of these terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any
reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these

of any remaining provisions. Alternatively, such provision may also be modified
if necessary to the extent necessary for its validity.
OUR PRIVACY
POLICY
GlorySchool.com endeavors to provide a safe, educational and
enjoyable environment for all of our guests. Please read the following practices
and policies we have implemented to protect your privacy, particularly for guests
who may be younger than 13 years old.
Please read the following
information carefully. We may update this policy from time to time. If you have
any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us by e-mail at service@gloryschool.com.
Collection and Use of Information
We may collect personal
information when you (i) register as a guest user and/or (ii) subscribe to our
Premium services. We use this information to identify you as a registered user,
to administer our web site, to further develop and improve our services and, in
some instances, for marketing and promotional purposes.
The
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) protects children's privacy
on the Internet by providing requirements controlling collection of information
from children under the age of 13 years.
When you register, we
require that you provide:
1. a username and password (to provide secure
access to our site and any information you have given us)
2. your e-mail
address (which allows us to complete and verify your registration)
3. your date of birth (which is our only method of ensuring compliance with COPPA
requirements)
We also ask that you provide your first and last name and
zip code, but this information is optional. At the end of the registration process,
we will give you the opportunity to receive promotional offers and GlorySchool
news by e-mail.
As a premium GlorySchool subscriber, we require that
you provide us with credit card and billing information.
Policies for
Children Under 13
We are certain that all children will benefit
from and enjoy this site and encourage parents to participate in the many interactive
activities offered by GlorySchool.com. Although we have limited the amount of
information requested to that which is necessary, we ask that a parent or guardian
approve of any information submitted by children under the age of 13.
E-mail addresses for children under the age of 13 are never posted for public
view within our site. However, our ability to maintain this policy relies upon
the proper identification of children under the age of 13, so that we can take
precautions to protect their privacy.
Unless we specifically state
otherwise, we will not provide information concerning individual guests who are
younger than 13 years to third parties for any purpose.
A parent
may request that we cancel his or her child’s registration (or inquire as to what
information we maintain concerning his or her child) by e-mailing us at service@GlorySchool.com.
Policies for Children 13 to 18
Information provided to GlorySchool.com
by children over the age of 13 years and adults submitted at registration or other
submissions may be used for marketing and promotional purposes.
Any registered
guest may request that we stop using his or her information for such purposes
by e-mailing us at service@GlorySchool.com.
ABOUT INTERNET PROTOCOL
(IP) ADDRESSES
We collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration
and to report aggregate information to our advertisers and partners. An IP address
is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are on
the Web. Your computer can be identified on the Internet through your IP address.
When guests request pages from our site, our servers log the guests' IP addresses.
We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable unless a guest
registers with us. This means that an unregistered user's session will be logged,
but the user remains anonymous to us.
USING COOKIES
Cookies
are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to an individual's hard drive
for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies to track the use of content in our
site as well as save your passwords, purchases, and preferences making your experience
eaiser while at our site.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES
You should
be aware that while on our site you could be directed to other sites that are
beyond our control. There are links to other sites from GERI that take you outside
our service. For example, if you click on a banner advertisement or a link to
another site, the click may take you off the GERI site. This includes links from
advertisers, sponsors, and partners that may use GERIs's logo as part of a co-branding
agreement. These other sites may send their own cookies to users, or otherwise
collect data or solicit personal information. You should always be aware of the
site that's currently serving you. Please keep in mind that whenever you give
out personal information online - for example, via message boards or chat - that
information can be collected and used by people you don't know. We cannot guarantee
the security of any information you disclose online, and you do so at your own
risk.
SECURITY POLICY
The importance of security for all personal
information associated with our guests is of utmost concern to us. We exercise
great care in providing secure transmission of your information from your PC to
our servers, utilizing encryption software. Only those employees who need access
to your information in order to do their jobs are allowed access.

ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS
By using this site, you agree to the Terms
of Use and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these policies, please

to these terms will mean you accept those changes. You can send e-mail to us with
any further questions.
