Website Terms of Use

1. What These Terms Cover

CEV Multimedia, LLC (“iCEV,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates icevonline.com/ and affiliated sites including eduthings.com, ctecoding.com/ (together, the “Website”). These Terms of Use govern how you may access and use the Website.

By clicking “I Accept,” “Submit,” or similar language — or by creating an account — you’re agreeing to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t access or use the Website.

If you’re using iCEV on behalf of a school, district, or other organization, “you” and “your” in these Terms refers to that organization.

These Terms work together with our Privacy Notice, which explains how we collect and use your information. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in the Privacy Notice.

2. Who Can Use iCEV

To use the Website, the following must be true:

• You’re 18 or older, or you’re a student under 18 who has been authorized by an iCEV customer to enroll in our paid services.
• If you’re 18 or older, you have the legal authority to agree to these Terms on your own behalf — and on behalf of any organization you represent.
• You’re located in the United States (or a U.S. territory where the Website is available).

If you don’t meet these requirements, please don’t use the Website. Meeting these requirements doesn’t guarantee access — iCEV may add or change requirements at its discretion.

iCEV is a U.S.-based service. We don’t make claims that the Website is appropriate or available outside the U.S. If you access it from abroad, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

3. Our Privacy Notice and Other Policies

Our Privacy Notice explains in detail how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information. By using the Website, you agree to those practices.

Some parts of the Website may have their own additional terms. When that’s the case, you’ll see those terms before you access that section. Those “Additional Terms” are part of your agreement with us and, if there’s a conflict, they take precedence over these Terms for that specific area.

4. How You May (and May Not) Use the Website

We want iCEV to be a safe, productive space for everyone — students, educators, and families alike. Here’s the basic rule: use the Website lawfully and in accordance with these Terms. 

Things you should not do on our Website:

• Break any applicable federal, state, local, or international law.
• Use the Website for commercial purposes without iCEV’s written permission.
• Impersonate iCEV, our staff, or anyone else, or allow others to access the site through unauthorized deep linking.
• Do anything that harms or disrupts other users’ experience on the Website.

Technical restrictions — please don’t:

• Copy, reproduce, or distribute Website content — including course materials, test questions, assessments, reports, videos, or other content — to any location outside of iCEV without written permission (excluding Customer Data as defined in Section 5).
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Website (unless required by law).
• Reproduce, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from Website content (other than your own Customer Data).
• Remove or hide any copyright, trademark, or legal notices on the Website.
• Collect personal information from the Website without authorization.
• Introduce viruses, malware, Trojan horses, logic bombs, or any other harmful code.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Website, its servers, or connected systems.
• Bypass or circumvent any security measures we’ve put in place.
• Launch denial-of-service or similar attacks against the Website.
• Otherwise interfere with the Website’s normal operation.

5. Intellectual Property

Everything on the Website — the content, software, text, images, videos, audio, and the overall look and feel — is owned or licensed by iCEV or third parties who’ve licensed it to us. It’s protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other laws.

Using the Website doesn’t transfer any ownership of that content to you. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by iCEV. 

Your school or district’s content is yours.

Any content, data, or materials that an iCEV customer or its users upload through our paid services (“Customer Data”) belongs to the customer. iCEV doesn’t claim ownership of Customer Data.

That said, by using our paid services, you grant iCEV a limited, non-exclusive license to use your Customer Data only as needed to provide, maintain, and improve the services — consistent with these Terms and any other applicable agreements.

iCEV’s names, logos, product names, and related marks are trademarks of iCEV. Nothing in these Terms grants you a license to use them.

6. Copyright Complaints (DMCA)

iCEV respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Learn more at copyright.gov. If you believe your copyrighted work has been used on our Website without authorization, you may submit a takedown notice that includes:

• A description of the copyrighted work and where it appears on our site.
• Your contact information (name, address, phone number, and email).
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized by you, your agent, or law.
• A statement — made under penalty of perjury — that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you’re the copyright owner or their authorized agent.
• Your electronic or physical signature.

7. Feedback You Share With Us

If you share ideas, suggestions, or other feedback about iCEV (“Feedback”), thank you! You’re never required to, but if you do, here’s what that means legally:

You assign to iCEV all rights to that Feedback, including any intellectual property rights. If that assignment doesn’t fully transfer rights for any reason, you grant iCEV a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, fully sublicensable license to use your Feedback in any way for any purpose.

By sharing Feedback, you confirm that you have the right to do so, and that it won’t violate any laws or third-party rights. 

8. Links to Other Websites

Our Website may include links to third-party websites for your convenience. While we vet third-party links available through our paid services as required by our customer contracts, we don’t control those external sites and can’t vouch for their content or privacy practices.

A link from iCEV’s site is not an endorsement. If you follow an external link, you’re responsible for your own access to and use of that site. 

9. Accuracy of Information

We work hard to keep the information on our Website accurate and up to date, but we can’t guarantee it’s always perfectly correct, complete, or current. If you spot something that seems wrong or out of place, please let us know using the contact info in Section 26. 

10. Security

We use reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. We comply with applicable laws and regulations on data security.

That said, no system is completely foolproof. We can’t guarantee the absolute security of our databases or that information transmitted over the internet will never be intercepted. Here are a few things you can do to protect yourself:

• Use a strong, unique password for your iCEV account.
• Don’t share your password or account information with others.
• Keep your devices and applications updated with security patches.

You — not iCEV — are responsible for keeping your own devices secure and for how you transmit information over the internet. If you’re concerned about internet transmission risks, consider alternative communication methods for sensitive information.

11. Your Account

You’re responsible for everything that happens through your account. That includes keeping your password confidential and not sharing or transferring your account to someone else.

If you think your account has been compromised, please contact us right away. iCEV won’t be responsible for unauthorized access that results from theft or misuse of your credentials.

iCEV doesn’t routinely monitor individual accounts, but may access your account for support purposes with your permission. 

12. Communications From iCEV

Depending on your relationship with iCEV and the contact information you provide, we may reach out by email, phone, or other means to send invitations, account updates, notifications, and similar messages. 

By providing your contact information, you agree to receive these communications. Here’s how it breaks down:

• All users may receive operational and transactional messages (like account and service updates).
• Prospective customers who request demos or indicate interest in iCEV will also receive marketing communications.
• Student users of iCEV’s paid services will not receive marketing or promotional messages from iCEV.

These communications may not be fully secure. Please keep that in mind when sharing sensitive information by email.

To opt out of marketing emails, follow the unsubscribe link in any commercial email. Please allow up to 10 business days to process your request. Note that opting out of marketing messages won’t stop transactional messages related to your account. 

13. Online Payments

If you make a payment through our Website, you authorize iCEV to process and securely display your payment information. You’re responsible for keeping your payment credentials confidential. iCEV is not liable for losses resulting from misuse of your payment information by others. Additional terms may apply to specific payment services. 

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

We’ve built iCEV to be reliable and useful, but we can’t make legal guarantees about the Website’s performance.

The Website is provided “as is” and “as available,” with no warranties of any kind — express or implied. This includes, but isn’t limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, iCEV EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES RELATED TO THE WEBSITE, INCLUDING ALL CONTENT, INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, PRODUCTS, SERVICES, AND GRAPHICS. iCEV DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED.

iCEV IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INACCURACIES OR ISSUES RELATED TO INTERNET CONNECTIVITY, YOUR DEVICE OR SOFTWARE, OR THIRD-PARTY SERVICES USED TO ACCESS THE WEBSITE.

NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM iCEV CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS.

We also can’t guarantee that the Website will always be free from technical issues like outages, viruses, or data interruptions. You should maintain appropriate safeguards on your end, including anti-virus protection and backups. 

15. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless iCEV, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers from any claims, costs, or expenses — including attorney’s fees — arising from:

• Your violation of these Terms or any applicable law.
• Your violation of any third-party rights (including intellectual property or privacy rights).
• Any content you submit, including Feedback or Customer Data.
• Any misrepresentation you make.

You agree to promptly notify iCEV of any such claim and cooperate in its defense. iCEV may, at its option, take over the defense of any claim covered by this section.

16. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, iCEV, ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, AND THIRD PARTIES THAT LINK TO THE WEBSITE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE WEBSITE.

WHERE SUCH EXCLUSIONS ARE LIMITED BY LAW, ANY LIABILITY iCEV HAS TO YOU FOR DIRECT DAMAGES IS LIMITED TO THE FEES YOU PAID IN THE THREE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR $100.00 IF NO FEES WERE PAID.

THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF CLAIM, INCLUDING PERSONAL INJURY, LOSS OF DATA, OR SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS, AND EVEN IF iCEV HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

We recognize this is a dense section. In plain terms: iCEV isn’t able to be on the hook for unlimited damages related to Website use. This is standard for online services and helps us keep iCEV available and affordable for everyone. 

17. Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute related to them are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict of law rules — except as otherwise stated in the Dispute Resolution section (Section 24). iCEV is based in Texas and makes no representations that its Website is appropriate for use in other locations. 

18. Severability and No Waiver

If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that part will be modified to the minimum extent required by law (or removed), and the rest of the Terms will still apply. We’ll also try to replace any invalid provision with one that achieves the same practical purpose.

If iCEV doesn’t enforce a particular term in a particular situation, that’s not a waiver of our right to enforce it in the future. 

19. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. When we do, the updated version will be posted here with a new “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically. Your continued use of the Website after any changes means you accept those changes. 

20. Suspension or Termination of Access

iCEV may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Website at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. While we’d rather resolve issues together, we need to maintain this right to protect all users.

iCEV IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY MODIFICATION, SUSPENSION, OR DISCONTINUATION OF THE WEBSITE OR ANY OF ITS FEATURES.

iCEV may also assign its rights under these Terms to another party at any time. The key sections of these Terms — including Sections 1, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 24 — survive any termination.

21. Website Availability

We reserve the right to modify, withdraw, or temporarily or permanently discontinue the Website or any part of it without notice. We won’t be liable if the Website is unavailable for any period or reason. We may also restrict access to certain sections of the Website from time to time. 

22. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Notice and any Additional Terms, make up the complete agreement between you and iCEV about your use of the Website. They replace any prior agreements or representations on the same subject. 

23. Relationship of the Parties

iCEV is an independent contractor. Nothing in these Terms creates a joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship between you and iCEV. You may not act as an agent of iCEV.

iCEV’s ability to perform under these Terms is subject to applicable laws and legal obligations, including our right to comply with government or law enforcement requests. 

24. Dispute Resolution

We designed this process to be fair and cost-effective. Our goal is to resolve disputes efficiently and reduce legal costs for both parties.

This Section 24 applies to all “Claims” between you and iCEV — meaning any dispute, claim, or controversy (with limited exceptions) arising from these Terms or your use of the Website, whether in contract, tort, statute, or otherwise. This includes disputes that arise after these Terms end. 

Before anyone files anything officially, we ask that both parties try to work it out. Here’s how:

• Send a written notice of your dispute (“Claimant Notice”) to iCEV by certified mail or email. iCEV will do the same if we have a claim against you.
• The Claimant Notice must include your name, contact information, description of the issue, and what resolution you’re seeking. It must be signed and must relate only to your individual situation.
• Within 45 days of receiving the notice (or longer if agreed in writing), both parties will participate in an informal resolution conference by phone or video. If you have an attorney, they may join — but you must personally attend.
• You cannot proceed to arbitration until this informal process is complete.

Send Claimant Notices to:

CEV Multimedia, LLC, Attn: Operations, 1500 Broadway, Suite 202, Lubbock, TX, 79401, or email customersupport@icevonline.com.

If the informal process doesn’t resolve the dispute within 30 days after the conference, either party may begin arbitration. Exceptions include:

• Small claims court disputes (individual claims only).
• Disputes exclusively about intellectual property rights, where injunctive or equitable relief is sought.

Arbitration will be conducted under the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and Supplementary Consumer Procedures of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), as modified here. Learn more or start a claim at adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879.

• A single arbitrator will conduct proceedings in English.
• Hearings will take place in your billing address county unless agreed otherwise.
• The arbitrator is bound by this Agreement and applicable law, and can award any remedy a court could provide — on an individual basis only.
• Both parties waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action.

iCEV will reimburse your AAA filing fee promptly after receiving notice that you’ve filed. If you can’t pay upfront, contact us and we’ll pay it directly. iCEV will cover all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for arbitration filed in accordance with these Terms. 

Either party may make a written settlement offer at any time. If you reject an offer and the final arbitration award is less favorable to you than that offer, you’ll be responsible for costs and fees incurred after the offer was made. Settlement terms aren’t disclosed to the arbitrator until after a decision is issued. 

Both parties agree to cooperate in seeking appropriate confidentiality protections for any sensitive information exchanged during arbitration, before such information becomes part of the arbitration record. 

If 25 or more similar claims are filed within 180 days of each other (“Mass Arbitration”), they will be grouped into batches (25 per batch for 250 or fewer demands; 250 per batch for larger volumes) and resolved as a single arbitration per batch with shared administrative fees. All other terms of this Section still apply to Mass Arbitration. 

Arbitration is individual only. No class, collective, or representative arbitrations or actions are permitted under these Terms. Each party waives the right to participate in such proceedings to the maximum extent permitted by law. 

You have 30 days from first accepting these Terms to opt out of binding arbitration. To do so, email customersupport@icevonline.com with your full name, mailing address, and a clear statement that you are opting out. If you don’t opt out, disputes will be resolved by arbitration as described here. 

If iCEV changes this Section 24, you may reject the changes (in whole, not in part) within 30 days by emailing customersupport@icevonline.com. If you reject changes, the most recent version of Section 24 you accepted continues to apply.

If any part of this Section 24 is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Any claims that can’t proceed in arbitration as a result will be litigated in court on an individual basis, with arbitration proceedings paused in the meantime. 

All issues — including arbitrability, enforceability, and the scope of this agreement — are for the arbitrator to decide, unless putative class or representative claims are initially filed in court and a motion to compel arbitration is brought, in which case the court will decide whether class proceedings are permitted. 

25. Deadline for Filing Claims

Any claim or dispute you bring against iCEV must be filed within one (1) year of when it first could have been filed. Claims not brought within that timeframe are permanently barred, unless applicable law prohibits this limitation.
