  • 3. Age Restrictions

    Deck takes the privacy of its users very seriously. To review the entire current Deck Privacy Policy, please click here. Deck is not currently directed to children and we expect that use by children will only be done with the guidance, supervision and consent of their parents, guardians and/or authorized school officials. Further, we rely on parents and guardians to ensure minors only use the Service if they can understand their rights and responsibilities as stated in these Terms and our Privacy Policy. In the United States, if you are the sponsor of a Sponsored Group (the “Sponsor”), including a School that is using Deck, that includes children under the age of 13, you (or your school) assumes the responsibility for complying with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and, to the extent applicable, The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”). This means that the Sponsor must notify parents/guardians of the information to be collected and obtain parental/guardian consent before collecting and sharing with the Service the personal information of children under the age of 13 in order to establish an account or use the Service. Schools may under appropriate circumstances provide such consent on behalf of parents/guardians. If you are outside of the United States, please ensure that you are complying with any laws applicable to you before submitting any child’s personal information or permitting any child to submit personal information to us. If a school outside the United States wants to enable its students to use Deck, Deck will work with such schools on case by case basis to ensure compliance with any applicable laws regarding the collection of information from minors.
    If you are a student under 13, please do not send any personal information about yourself to us if your school, district, and/or teacher has not obtained this prior consent from your parent or guardian, and please do not send any personal information other than what we request from you in connection with the Services. If we learn we have collected personal information from a student under 13 without parental consent being obtained by his or her school, district, and/or teacher, or if we learn a student under 13 has provided us personal information beyond what we request from him or her, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a student under 13 may have provided us personal information in violation of this paragraph, please contact us immediately at support@pitchdeck.io.
    If you are a school, district, or teacher registering on behalf of students, you represent and warrant that you are solely responsible for complying with COPPA, meaning that you must obtain advance written consent from all parents or guardians whose children under 13 will be accessing the Services. You are responsible for understanding how any Publisher Software (defined and described below) that you install on behalf of yourself or other users may collect and use information of users of Deck’s Services. When obtaining consent, you must provide parents and guardians with our Privacy Policy. You must keep all consents on file and provide them to us if we request them. For more information on COPPA, please click here. If you are a teacher, you represent and warrant that you have permission and authorization from your school and/or district to use the Services as part of your curriculum, and for purposes of COPPA compliance, you represent and warrant that you are entering into these Terms on behalf of your school and/or district.
    You represent and warrant that you are of legal age to form a binding contract (or if not, you've received your parent's or guardian's permission to use the Services and gotten your parent or guardian to agree to these Terms on your behalf, as we described earlier). If you're agreeing to these Terms on behalf of an organization or entity (for example, if you're an administrator agreeing to these Terms on behalf of your district), you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to these Terms on that organization or entity's behalf and bind them to these Terms.
    Users between 13 and 18 need permission from a parent or guardian. Users between 13 and 18 years of age may utilize a Deck account established by their parent or legal guardian, with such parent or guardian’s approval. If you permit your child or legal ward between 13 and 18 years of age (“Child”) to use the Service, you hereby agree to these Terms of Service on behalf of both yourself and your Child. You further agree that you are solely responsible for any and all use of the Service by your Child regardless of whether such use was authorized by you.

Special nonprofit pricing is available to those using the app for qualifying nonprofit uses including schools, religious and other organizations.

We reserve the right to cancel subscriptions made in violation of this term. Please contact sales@pitchdeck.io if you have questions.

    6. User Accounts & Content Options

    Deck offers a number of ways to share, or not share, your presentation with others.
    Deck Basic (free) or Deck Public Subscriptions. If you have a Deck Basic (free) or Deck Public account, all of the content you create, including all of the information within your presentations, will be available to anyone who has access to the internet (“Public User Content”). Public presentations can be viewed by other Deck users, will appear in the searchable Deck database, and will be available for others to access, view, copy, and reuse online. Accordingly, you hereby do and shall grant to each User and to the public a worldwide, non-exclusive, revocable license to access, view, reuse, and publicly perform your Public User Content. This license ends when you delete the presentation or your account is closed (either by you or by us), except to the extent that the content has been shared with others and they have not deleted it.
    Deck Pro, Premium, and Classroom Subscriptions. If you have a Deck Pro, Premium, or Classroom subscription, you can choose to make your content Public User Content or Private User Content. Presentations designated as Private User Content will not be available to the public. Rather, they will be available to you, and to those Deck users with whom you have chosen to share the content. You may invite one or more people (a “Viewer”) to view your presentation by sending them a “share” link. You hereby do and shall grant to each Invited Viewer a worldwide, non-exclusive, revocable license to access, view and publicly perform your Private User Content. This license ends when you delete the presentation or your account is closed (either by you or by us), except to the extent that the content has been shared with others and they have not deleted it.
    Allowing Re-use. All Decks are are designated as public and re-usable by default. You may choose to make public content not reusable. Users with paid accounts, including students enrolled in a Deck Classroom account for which their teacher, school, or district may have paid on their behalf, may designate decks as private or restricted. When you allow re-use of your Public User Content, you hereby do and shall grant to each user of the Service a worldwide, non-exclusive, revocable license to use, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, distribute and transmit your content. This license ends when you delete the presentation or your account is closed (either by you or by us), except to the extent that the content has been shared with others and they have not deleted it.

    A. Licenses you grant to Deck for use of Public User Content and Private User Content

    In order to provide the Service to you in accordance with these terms, we need certain licenses from you in order for us to, e.g., host, store and display the content. For example, we need the right to publicly display/perform the work to allow us to display it on the computer monitor of any party who is not the copyright holder. We need the right to reproduce the content so that it can be saved to our servers. We need to create derivative works and modify the content, for example, when transcoding an uploaded image into a format that will work most efficiently with the Service.
    With respect to Private User Content, you hereby do and shall grant to Deck (and its successors, assigns, and third party service providers) a worldwide, non-exclusive, revocable, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, distribute and transmit the content SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE of providing you, and those with whom you have shared your presentations, with the Service. This license ends when you delete your Private User Content or your account is closed (either by you or by us), except (i) to the extent that your Private User Content has been shared with others and they have not deleted it and (ii) that we retain a license to maintain a back-up copy of your Private User Content indefinitely
    With respect to Public User Content, you hereby do and shall grant to Deck (and its successors, assigns, and third party service providers) a worldwide, non-exclusive, revocable, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, distribute and transmit the content (1) for the purpose of providing you, and those with whom you have shared your presentations (including the public), with the Service; and (2) in connection with promotion and marketing of Deck products and services, including without limitation allowing third parties to search or index the content, in connection with email promotions, product demonstrations, and the like. This license ends when you delete your Public User Content or your account is closed (either by you or by us), except (i) to the extent that your Public User Content has been shared with others and they have not deleted it and (ii) that we retain a license to maintain a back-up copy of your Public User Content indefinitely.
    Regardless of whether you designate content public or private, Deck makes no claim of ownership to your User Content, and obtains no rights to your content other than as provided for herein.

    B. Expiration and revocability of licenses

    Deck makes it easy for users with qualified accounts to change a presentation’s public/private, and disallow reuse status at any time.
    However, uses made of your presentation or the underlying User Content, whether by Deck or its users, are subject to the licenses that were in place at the time such use was originally made by the person or entity who originally made the use. For example, licensed uses of Public User Content, or content that allows reuse, may continue to be made after such content is designated Private User Content, by those users who previously used the content under the prior license.

    C. Third-Party Content

    Deck gives you the option, when creating or editing a presentation, to search for and insert third party content, such as images, into your presentation. Such third party content is subject to certain license terms. For example, if you use an image that is licensed pursuant to a Creative Commons license that prohibits commercial use, you may not use the image for commercial purposes. Some license terms may limit the manner in which you are permitted to share content with others, or to allow re-use of a presentation. You agree to review and comply with the license terms applicable to any third party content in a presentation.

    7. Payment Terms

    You agree to pay the then-current fee for the account type (e.g., Public, Premium, Pro, or the like) you have selected. The current fee for the account type you have selected will automatically and immediately be charged to your payment instrument or account on the date your free trial expires. Fees charged for one account type may not be credited towards other account types. All currency references are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. Though subscriptions may be cancelled any time, Deck does not offer refunds.

    A. Payment for Subscription

    You agree to pay the then-current fee for the account type (e.g., Public, Premium, Pro, or the like) you have selected. The current fee for the account type you have selected will automatically and immediately be charged to your payment instrument or account on the date your free trial expires. Fees charged for one account type may not be credited towards other account types. All currency references are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

    B. Fraud Protections

    To protect against potential fraud, Deck may take steps to verify the validity of the credit card information you provide to us. The verification process may include debiting an amount between $0.01 and $0.99 from your credit card account and then immediately crediting the same amount back to your credit card, as well as asking you to verify the amount debited in order to confirm that you are in possession of your credit card. Deck will only use this process to screen for fraud and will not otherwise debit your credit card account except as part of a transaction conducted through your account for the Service. By providing Deck with your credit card information, you authorize Deck to debit and credit your credit card account for an amount less than one dollar for such verification purposes.

    C. Cancellation of Subscription and Refunds

    Payment for subscriptions is non-refundable. If you cancel your recurring payment option, your account will remain active until its next renewal date. If you delete your account before the end of the term for which you paid, your cancellation will take effect immediately. In either case (cancellation or deletion), you will not be given a refund.

    D. Termination

    If your credit card is invalid for any reason, your Deck Pro (paid) account will revert to a Deck Basic (free) account and will be subject to the limitations of a free Deck Basic account; provided, however, that Deck reserves the right to cancel your account entirely in such case. You will have the option of deleting any User Content from your account prior to its reversion to a Deck Basic account. Deck further reserves the right to cancel, or revert to a Deck Basic account status, the account of any user who attempts to fraudulently obtain Deck educational pricing.

    8. Intellectual property infringement, warranties

    When you upload User Content on or through the Service, you represent and warrant that, with respect to all User Content that you upload, transmit, publish and disseminate through the Service, (a) you have all the rights and licenses necessary to use, reproduce, publish, display publicly, perform publicly, distribute, or otherwise exploit such User Content in connection with the Service (and to grant to Deck the licenses set forth in this Agreement); (b) the User Content will not infringe or otherwise violate the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights of any third party; and (c) you have the consent, release, and/or permission of each identifiable person depicted in your User Content to upload, transmit, publish, and/or disseminate their name and/or likeness through the Service.

Also, if a particular piece of content creates too large a demand on the Service, it may result in access to the content being temporarily or permanently disabled. You agree that Deck will not be liable to you or to any third party for termination of your access to the Service for any reason.
