Please read these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”, “Terms and Conditions”) carefully before using the https://www.memory.com website (the “Service”) operated by Memory.com (“us”, “we”, or “our”).

Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users and others who access or use the Service.

You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with your rights contained within the Sale of Goods Act 1979, Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999.

Availability, Errors and Inaccuracies

Memory is a self-service platform with user generated content. Courses are created by users, and Memory makes no effort to ensure they are of high quality or accurate. They may be described inaccurately, or unavailable, and we may experience delays in updating any requests to modify information. You expressly agree that any such offer of a product or service does not constitute a legal offer capable of attracting legal consequences.

We cannot and do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any information, including text content, product images, names of course or their descriptions. We reserve the right to change or update information and to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in courses at any time without prior notice. Section “Availability, Errors and Inaccuracies” is without prejudice to existing statutory rights.

MEMORY.com is a product under rapid development. No guarantees are offered towards stability or availability. Whilst we typically have less than 0.01% down time, we cannot guarantee against outages at any give time.

In the unlikely event that MEMORY.com close unexpectedly without notice, we can no longer offer website availability. In this circumstance, we will make every effort to ensure you can export all of your content.

Results are not guaranteed

At various stages, Memory makes claims about the quality of its service. These are judged by studies on the methodology used by Memory and user feedback. Whilst the results stated are often typical of spaced repetition learning methods, results are not guaranteed and your own results may vary. Memory offers no warranty against you using the service and not achieving results as expected. All claims about results or learning speed are indicative only.

Memory offers a test/exam mode for many courses automatically. Exams on Memory are dynamically generated and may not be of comparable difficulty to the exam you are participating in. For this reason, Memory offers no indication that by being successful in this mode you will also be successful when using your chosen subject.

Content

Our Service allows you to create, link, share and otherwise make available certain information, text, graphics, videos, or other material (“Content”). You are responsible for the Content that you post to the Service, including its legality, reliability, and appropriateness.

By posting Content to the Service, you grant us the right and license to use, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, reproduce, and distribute such Content on and through the Service. You retain any and all of your rights to any Content you submit, post or display on or through the Service and you are responsible for protecting those rights. You agree that this license includes the right for us to make your Content available to other users of the Service, who may also use your Content subject to these Terms. You may set your course to privacy mode at any time if you do not wish others to view your content.

You represent and warrant that: (i) the Content is yours (you own it) or you have the right to use it and grant us the rights and license as provided in these Terms, and (ii) the posting of your Content on or through the Service does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, contract rights or any other rights of any person. If your course is set to public mode, content should not be plagiarised from copyrighted material, and we reserve the right to remove any offending content. Note that public mode is the default setting and this must be updated by editing your course settings if you wish to make it private.

Memory gets thousands of new questions entered into our public system per day from users - and from time to time receives offensive content. We use automated tools to try go detect offensive content, and when it is detected it is removed. Courses with inappropriate content will be flagged and set as private to their creator, or if found to be extremely inappropriate they will be removed. Automated tools are not infallible and you may notice content that you find offensive on the site. In this case, please report it using either the feedback, contact us buttons, or email support@memory.com. Please note there may be a delay of up to 2 weeks whilst this is reviewed.

Abusive terminology, messages of hate and pornography are unacceptable and will be manually removed if not automatically detected. We expect users to respect the fact that Memory is freely available for all audiences. We reserve the right to delete and remove the content of users who disobey this rule on purpose.

User generated content may not always be traceable if the user created it whilst is in guest mode.

Memory.com offers the functionality for users to mark their course as unlisted. We do our best to ensure that web robots such as Google do not index or store a link to the course in their search engines, but we offer no warranty against this.

Memory.com offers the functionality for users to password protect their courses. Whilst we do our best to ensure the security of this, we cannot guarantee that other users will not find a way to circumvent the password system. Therefore no warranty is offered against any usage of this functionality. You can change the password to your course at any time.
