If You are accepting this agreement on behalf of Your employer, You affirm that You have the authority to accept this agreement on its behalf and are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations, warranties, and indemnification set forth in these TOU, and to abide by and comply with these TOU. By using or accessing the Services, You represent and warrant that You are at least thirteen (13) years old and, if not, You have received Your parent’s or guardian’s permission to use the Services and Your parent or guardian has agreed to these Terms and Conditions on Your behalf). You will not share Your account or password with anyone, and agree that You must protect the security of Your account and password. You are responsible for any activity associated with Your account.
Your use of the Services is at all times subject to the Privacy Policy available at https://performstars.com/privacy-policy. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires that online service providers obtain parental consent before they knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under the age of 13. Performstars does not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from a child under the age of 13 without obtaining verifiable consent from that child’s parent or guardian (“Parental Consent”), except for the limited amount of personally identifiable information we need to collect in order to obtain Parental Consent (“Required Information”). Until Performstars has received Parental Consent, Performstars will only use Required Information for the purpose of obtaining Parental Consent. If You are a child under 13 years old, please do not attempt to send any personal information about yourself to Performstars before Performstars obtains Parental Consent, except for the Required Information in the context of the Parental Consent process. If You believe that a child under 13 years old has provided Performstars with personal information (beyond the Required Information) without Performstars’s obtaining Parental Consent, please contact Performstars at [email protected].
If You wish to provide us with any personal information of any children under the age of 13 years old, You (1) represent and warrant that You are the parent or legal guardian of such children, and (2) You hereby provide consent in Your capacity as such to the consents and terms set forth herein.
