Limited Contributing Member Agreement
The applicant acknowledges and agrees that, when submitted and accepted by 1EdTech, this application represents a binding contract between the parties and commits the applicant to (i) payment of annual dues and fees as determined from time to time by the Board of Directors and (ii) comply with all the terms and conditions of 1EdTech rules and policies, including the Intellectual Property Rights Policy ( http://www.imsglobal.org/ipr/imsipr_policyFinal.pdf), as the Board of Directors and/or committees may from time to time adopt as it relates to 1EdTech membership. Membership dues are non-refundable. Note: Access and Participation do not begin until payment is received. You will receive an email that your 1EdTech membership renewal is due 60 days prior to your renewal date. Unless you notify us before your renewal date that you do not wish to renew your subscription, your credit card will automatically be charged the renewal fee. If renewal payment is not received by the renew date your 1EdTech membership and any 1EdTech conformance certification will be revoked.
By accepting access to the 1EdTech resources, the organization understands that 1EdTech documents and materials are made available for the purposes of the 1EdTech Members only and should not be distributed without the express written consent of 1EdTech. Access to member-only materials is provided for the organization's full-time or part-time employees, not subcontractors. Organizations which hire subcontractors that use the 1EdTech work for any commercial purpose other than for the 1EdTech Member organization exclusively, require the subcontractor to become an 1EdTech member in order to receive the benefits of the 1EdTech membership and access to 1EdTech resources. In the case of Organization mergers or acquisitions, subsidiaries with independent branding are required to have their own membership. Failure to abide by these conditions will immediately terminate membership.
Achieving and maintaining 1EdTech conformance certification to any 1EdTech standard requires participation in the 1EdTech Member community. While conformance certification provides a "seal" for passing prescribed tests it is much more than that. It is a commitment by a supplier to the 1EdTech community for ongoing support for achieving "plug and play" integration. Therefore, certification implies ongoing community commitment to resolve problems, revise implementations and retest as need.
The 1EdTech Logo and Learning Tools Interoperability® (LTI®), Accessible Portable Item Protocol® (APIP®), Question and Test Interoperability® (QTI®), Common Cartridge® (CC®), AccessForAll™, OneRoster™, Caliper Analytics®, SensorAPI® and Competencies and Academic Standards Exchange® (CASE®)are trademarks of 1EdTech Consortium, Inc. in the United States and/or other countries. Only 1EdTech members achieving conformance certification may use the 1EdTech trademark relevant to your certification in association with your organization and product. Any other use of 1EdTech trademarks, names of specifications or 1EdTech copyrighted materials in connection with an implementation, product or service including any press release or public communication requires prior written approval from 1EdTech. If your membership terminates you must remove any references to any 1EdTech trademarks in association with your product(s) or web site.
This agreement affords the applicant some of the rights of Contributing Membership in 1EdTech. These rights include ability to participate in 1EdTech institutional leadership groups, ability to attend any 1EdTech face-to-face meetings for Contributing Members and ability to access 1EdTech Contributing Member resources. This agreement does not afford any voting rights in the 1EdTech Consortium activities or ability to participate as a Contributing Member in 1EdTech technical workgroups. Technical workgroup activity access may be granted at the sole discretion of 1EdTech as an Invited expert if applicant agrees to the terms of invited expert participation.
IN NO EVENT WILL 1EdTech Consortium BE LIABLE TO ANY PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR ANY USE OF MATERIALS FROM OR PARTICIPATION AS AN 1EdTech SUBSCIRBER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOST PROFITS OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, EVEN IF 1EdTech IS EXPRESSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL 1EdTech Consortium DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR EMPLOYEES BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO USE OF 1EdTech Consortium COMMON CARTRIDGE LOGO OR MATERIALS, INCLUDING ECONOMIC DAMAGES AND LOST PROFITS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER 1EdTech SHALL BE ADVISED, SHALL HAVE OTHER REASON TO KNOW, OR IN FACT SHALL KNOW OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE FOREGOING.
