Noor Kids will promptly terminate without notice your access to the Application if You are determined by Noor Kids to be a “repeat infringer.” A repeat infringer is a User who has been notified by Noor Kids of infringing activity violations more than twice and/or who has had User Content or any other user-submitted content removed from the Application more than twice.

5. Proprietary Materials; Licenses

5.1 Proprietary Materials. The Application is owned and operated by Noor Kids. The visual interfaces, graphics, design, compilation, information, computer code (including source code or object code), software, services, content, educational videos and exercises, and all other elements of the Application (the “Application Materials”) are protected by United States and international copyright, patent, and trademark laws, international conventions, and other applicable laws governing intellectual property and proprietary rights. All Website Materials, and all trademarks, service marks, and trade names, contained on or available through the Application are owned by or licensed to Noor Kids, and Noor Kids reserves all rights therein and thereto not expressly granted by these Terms.

5.2 Licensed Educational Content. Noor Kids may make available on the Website certain educational videos, exercises, and related supplementary materials that are owned by Noor Kids or its third-party licensors (the “Licensed Educational Content”). Noor Kids grants to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Licensed Educational Content as made available on the Application by Noor Kids solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes. Unless expressly indicated on the Application that a particular item of Licensed Educational Content is made available to Users under alternate license terms, you may not download, distribute, sell, lease, modify, or otherwise provide access to the Licensed Educational Content to any third party.

5.3 Non-Commercial Use. The Licensed Educational Content are intended for personal, non-commercial use only. Without limiting the foregoing, the Licensed Educational Content may not be used, distributed or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose, commercial advantage or private monetary compensation, unless otherwise previously agreed in writing by Noor Kids.

(a) Impermissible Uses. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following are types of uses that Noor Kids expressly defines as falling outside of “non-commercial” use:

  1. the sale or rental of (1) any part of the Licensed Educational Content, (2) any derivative works based at least in part on the Licensed Educational Content, or (3) any collective work that includes any part of the Licensed Educational Content;
  2. providing training, support, or editorial services that use or reference the Licensed Educational Content in exchange for a fee; and
  3. the sale of advertisements, sponsorships, or promotions placed on the Licensed Educational Content, or any part thereof, or the sale of advertisements, sponsorships, or promotions on any website or blog containing any part of the Licensed Educational Material, including without limitation any “pop-up advertisements”.

(b) Use Characterization. Whether a particular use of the Licensed Educational Content is “non-commercial” depends on the use, not the user. Thus, a use of the Licensed Educational Content that does not require that users pay fees and that does not provide an entity with a commercial advantage is “non-commercial,” even if this use is by a commercial entity. Conversely, any use that involves charging users in connection with their access to the Licensed Educational Content is not “non-commercial,” even if this use is by a non-profit entity. As an example, a for-profit corporation’s use of the Licensed Educational Content for internal professional development or training of employees is permitted, so long as the corporation charges no fees, directly or indirectly, for such use. Conversely, as another example, a non-profit entity’s use of the Licensed Educational Content in connection with an fee-based training or educational program is NOT “non-commercial” and is not permitted.

5.4 Crediting Noor Kids. If You distribute, publicly perform or display, transmit, publish, or otherwise make available any Licensed Educational Content or any derivative works thereof, You must also provide the following notice prominently along with such Licensed Educational Content or derivative work thereof: “All Noor Kids content is available at www.noorkids.com”

13.5 Our approach to data security. Data security is important to you, and to us. We use certain physical, managerial, and technical safeguards designed to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information and other information we maintain in connection with our App. However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information. In the event that any information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and will notify you of the security incident in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

13.6 How do we protect Children’s Privacy? Our App is intended to be used by children under 13 only with the consent and oversight of a parent. An adult with a verified email address must download the App and create an account before permitting a child to use the App. Please contact us at support@noorkids.com if you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13 without consent from a parent or guardian so that we may delete the information as soon as possible.

13.7 International Visitors. Our App is operated and managed on servers located within the United States. If you choose to use our App from the European Union or other regions of the world with laws governing data collection and use that differ from United States law, then you acknowledge that we will transfer your personal information to the United States for the purpose of performing the App according to our contract (e.g., our Terms of Service) and for any other purpose for which you provide explicit, informed consent.

13.8 European Union Data Protection. For personal data subject to the European Union General Data Processing Regulations ("GDPR"), we rely on several legal bases to process the data. These legal bases include where:

a. The processing is necessary to perform our contractual obligations in our Terms of Service or other contracts with you (such as to provide you the App as described in our Terms of Service);

b. You have given your prior consent, which you may withdraw at any time (such as for marketing purposes or other purposes we obtain your consent for from time to time);

c. The processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, a court order or to exercise or defend legal claims;

d. The processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests, such as in improving, personalizing, and developing the App, marketing the App, such as new features or products that may be of interest, and promoting safety and security as described above.
