Subject to the terms and conditions herein, the Service currently provides users with access to various online features, functionality, information, services and resources, which may include forums, recruitment services, marketplace and specialist content. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features of the Service will be subject to these Terms and Conditions.
Eligibility And Supervising Children
Certain aspects of the Service may require you to register and provide information about yourself. By using the Service, you represent, warrant and covenant that: (a) you are 13 years of age or older and reside in the United States of America, its territories and possessions (the “U.S.”), (b) your use of the Service does not violate (i) any applicable law, rule or regulation and (c) (i) all registration information you provide is true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the relevant registration form (such information being the “Registration Data”) and (ii) you will maintain and promptly update the Registration Data (by emailing us) to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.
SIFT is concerned about the safety and privacy of all its users, particularly children. Certain features of the Service may be subject to heightened age and/or other eligibility requirements and restrictions. If you are a user between the ages of 13 and 18, please review these Terms and Conditions with your parent or guardian. Your parent or guardian should agree to these Terms and Conditions on your behalf and parental discretion is advised for all users under the age of 18. For this reason, parents, teachers or guardians who wish to allow their children or pupils access to the Service should assist them in setting up any relevant accounts and supervise their access to the Service. By allowing your child access to the Service, he/she may be able to access various services including teaching tips, and other content meant for teachers. As you will see below, SIFT does not pre-screen content posted to these portions of the Service and as the legal guardian, it is therefore your responsibility to determine whether any of the Services and/or content are appropriate for your child or pupil.
