You agree not to utilize the data you receive for any purpose other than providing your services to those students on the Sirius Learning platform, and not to solicit additional personal data or store students' personal data outside the Sirius Learning platform. You agree to indemnify Sirius Learning against any claims arising from your use of students' personal data.

Transaction Taxes

 

If a student purchases a product or service in a country that requires Sirius Learning to remit national, state, or local sales or use taxes, value-added taxes (VAT), or other similar transaction taxes ("Transaction Taxes"), under applicable law, we will collect and remit those Transaction Taxes to the competent tax authorities for those sales. We may increase the sale price at our discretion where we determine that such taxes may be due.
