What are these Terms?
These terms form a binding contract between you and us (“these Terms”) regarding your access to and use of any of our web sites, mobile and/or online applications, services, products and Software that contain a link to these Terms (individually and collectively, the “Service”). These Terms include the provisions below and any special terms and conditions relating to the Service (such as, for example, how others can use Your Content, how to contact us, terms regarding membership and subscriptions [if any], the “Special Service Terms”), which can be found at the Special Service Terms link above. Please Note: These Terms only cover the Service. If you use any of our other products and services, different terms and conditions will apply, available here: https://www.autodesk.com/company/terms-of-use/en/general-terms.
More information about how we collect, store and use data is available in Section 10 below (Consent to Collection and Use of Data), and in the Autodesk Privacy Statement and Autodesk’s Children’s Privacy Statement.
1. Who should access the Service? AN INDIVIDUAL 13 OR OLDER MAY CREATE HIS/HER OWN ACCOUNT. A CHILD UNDER THE AGE OF 13 MAY CREATE AN ACCOUNT ONLY WITH HIS/HER PARENT’S OR LEGAL GUARDIAN’S APPROVAL OR AS A STUDENT ACCESSING THE SERVICE THROUGH A CLASS SET UP BY A TEACHER WITH A SERVICE ACCOUNT (see the Children’s Privacy Statement for more details). If you are 13 or older, but not an adult, meaning you are not at least the legal age of consent where you reside, you must have your parent or legal guardian agree to these Terms on your behalf and supervise your access to and use of the Service. If you don’t meet the foregoing requirements, you are not authorized to access or use the Service.
2. Types of Child and Moderator Accounts.
A. Child User. If You are a User of the Service and are under the age of 13 (“Child User”), You may not register an account for the Service without consent and approval from your legal parent or guardian, or Educator. A Child User that begins the registration process for himself or herself without a Parent User will be given a restricted account until a Parent User or Educator approves or assumes responsibility for the Child User account.
B. Parent User. If You are at least 18 years of age and you are the legal parent or guardian of a child that seeks to register as a Child User of the Service, You may register a parent account on the Service (“Parent User”). As a Parent User, you may create, register, manage and approve Child User accounts only for your own child(ren) for whom you are a legal guardian. IF YOU REGISTER, APPROVE THE REGISTRATION OF, OR OTHERWISE ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY CHILD USER, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE SUCH CHILD USER’S LEGAL PARENT OR GUARDIAN AND YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF SUCH CHILD USER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION BEING LIABLE FOR ALL USE OF THE SERVICE BY THE CHILD USER. You acknowledge that Autodesk may choose, but is not obligated, to make any inquiries, either directly or through third parties, that Autodesk deems necessary to validate Your registration information, including without limitation engaging third parties to provide verification services. Autodesk reserves all rights to take legal actions against anyone who misrepresents personal information or is otherwise untruthful about their identity. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AUTODESK CANNOT GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY OF ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY ANY USER AND AUTODESK IS NOT OBLIGATED TO VERIFY THE IDENTITY OF ANY USER, INCLUDING ANY USER’S CLAIM TO BE A PARENT USER, OR TO VERIFY THAT A PARENT IDENTIFIED BY A CHILD USER OR AN EDUCATOR DURING REGISTRATION IS SUCH CHILD USER’S ACTUAL PARENT OR GUARDIAN. A Parent User account, along with all associated Child User accounts, may be terminated by Autodesk at any time and without warning for any failure to abide by these Terms.
C. Educator. If You are an Educator, there are two ways to work with students on Tinkercad. First, You may link Your account to a Student account as a moderator. If a student under the age of 13 has an account and the Student’s legal parent or guardian has not yet given consent and approval through the Service, You will, prior to linking Your account to a Student account as a moderator, either ensure that the Student’s parent or guardian gives consent and approval through the Service or that You, Your school, or Your school district obtain consent per the terms located at Education Providers and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Second, You may create a class under Your account, through which Students may use the Service without creating an account. If you are an Educator who will be using the Service with Students in your district, school, or classroom, Student Data provided or generated through your or your Students’ use of the Service may be subject to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). You agree to the terms located at Education Providers and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
