This Terms of Use Agreement (the ā€œAgreementā€) sets forth the terms and conditions that govern your use of and access to the Website and any products, materials, and services provided by or on the Website (collectively, the ā€œServicesā€).

Please read these terms of use carefully before you start to use the site. By using Learnexus, you indicate that you accept these terms of use and that you agree to abide and be bound by them.


This Agreement requires the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and also limits the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute. 


Information about Us
learnexus.com is a site operated by Learnexus (the ā€œCompanyā€, ā€œWeā€, ā€œusā€, ā€œourā€). We are incorporated in the United States.


We are solely a marketplace allowing persons buying services from a Freelancer on Learnexus (the ā€œEmployersā€) and persons selling services to an Employer via Learnexus (the ā€œFreelancersā€), to interact. While certain of our affiliates may do so, we do not search for, select or introduce Employers and Freelancers to each other. We are not an employment agency, or, except with respect to persons currently on our employee payroll, an employer, and we have not sought licensure as an employment agency.  Certain of our affiliates, operating distinct web properties which may be linked to on this Site, do act as employment agencies pursuant to appropriate regulatory authority issued by various governmental agencies, but this Site does not allow you to access these services.


Accessing Our Site
Access to our site is permitted on a temporary basis, and we reserve the right to withdraw the service we provide on our site without notice (see below). We will not be liable if for any reason our site is unavailable at any time or for any period.

From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of our site, or our entire site, to users who have registered with us.

If you are under the age of 18, or a competitor of or using the Services for purposes that are competitive with the Company, you may not use the services on the Website. We reserve the right to refuse to offer the services to any person or entity and change eligibility criteria at any time.

Using Our Site
Without limiting its ability to seek alternative remedies, Learnexus may restrict any userā€™s ability to use the Website, deactivate or terminate their account, or withhold funds, in its sole and absolute discretion, if we have reason to believe, or suspicion that, a userā€™s dealings with Learnexus constitute fraudulent activity, wrongdoing or are related to money laundering.

  2. To the extent permitted by law, Learnexus shall be entitled to withhold monies in userā€™s accounts in the event of fraudulent or money laundering acts by the user or any Persons. Each user agrees to indemnify Learnexus, its directors, employees, shareholders, consultants and advisors for all losses and damages suffered by itas a result of fraud, or reasonable belief that there is fraud and/or a money laundering activity. The withholding and claims for losses and damages shall be deemed to extend to all users or Persons who are involved in any such activity and/or who the Company reasonably believes, in its sole subjective commercial judgment, to be involved in, or likely be involved in, any such fraud and wrongdoings.
  3. ā€œWrongdoingsā€ and/or ā€œfraudā€ shall be deemed to include, but not be limited to, attempts to circumvent these terms and conditions, hacking, unauthorized use of account access information, any account or any third party accounts, attempts to circumvent or bypass any security mechanisms available on the Website or Learnexusā€™ systems or networks, wrongfully, deliberately or knowingly transferring funds from a third partyā€™s account or funds not lawfully owned, any act or omission through use of the Website of Learnexus services causing any harm to Learnexus or to any third party, falsifying personal information, fund transfers in violation of applicable law or regulation, any actions and/or omissions which the company reasonably deem to be fraudulent and/or instances of wrongdoing.
  4. In the event that Learnexus suspects fraud or fraudulent activity on the userā€™s part, or if any of a userā€™s payments are charged back, Learnexus will have the right to withhold any pay-out due to such user and, if necessary, to lawfully collect any payments owing to Learnexus by offsets to remaining user account balances.
  5. We reserve the right to use your brand name to promote Learnexus for marketing purposes. Your use of this website constitutes your grant to us of an irrevocable, limited, worldwide, license to use and display your brand name and logo solely for such purposes.

Dispute Resolution

Please read this Section carefully. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, shall be submitted to and decided by a single arbitrator by binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association in the City of San Francisco, California. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction by either party. The prevailing party in the arbitration proceedings shall be awarded reasonable attorneysā€™ fees, expert witness costs and expenses, and all other costs and expenses incurred directly or indirectly in connection with the proceedings, unless the arbitrator shall for good cause determine otherwise.

All arbitrations shall proceed on an individual basis. You agree that you may bring claims against the Company in arbitration only in your individual capacity and in so doing you hereby waive the right to a trial by jury, to assert or participate in a class-action lawsuit or class action arbitration (either as a named-plaintiff or class member), and to assert or participate in any joint or consolidated lawsuit or joint or consolidated arbitration of any kind. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one personā€™s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraphā€™s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.


Changes to Terms

We may revise these terms of use at any time by amending this page. You are expected to check this page from time to time to take notice of any changes we made, as they are binding on you.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure of the Company to exercise, or delay by the Company in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
  2. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. 
  3. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with all documents referenced herein, constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the subject matter contained herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Specifically, the provisions of this Agreement will control over any standard or boilerplate terms and conditions included on any document provided by you and any such terms are expressly rejected by Learnexus and are not part of this Agreement.
  4. Headings. Headings and titles of sections, clauses, bracketed language, and part designations in this Agreement (collectively, ā€œHeadingsā€) are for convenience only. Headings shall not affect the meaning of any provisions of the Agreement.
