Privacy Policy
You agree to USU’s Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use and protect the personal information you provide to us.
Account Registration
You must open an account with us (a “USU Account”) to use the Services. You agree that you will only open one account per person. During registration we will ask you for information, including your name and other personal information. This information will be collected and used in accordance with our Privacy Policy. You must provide accurate and complete information in response to our questions, and keep that information current. You are fully responsible for all activity that occurs under your USU Account, including for any actions taken by persons to whom you have granted access to the USU Account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate the USU Account of any user who provides inaccurate or incomplete information, or who fails to comply with account registration requirements.
Revisions, Disclosures and Notices
We may amend the General Terms, any Additional Terms, or our Policies, at any time with notice that we deem to be reasonable in the circumstances, by posting the revised version on our website or communicating it to you through the Services (each a “Revised Version”). The Revised Version will be effective as of the time it is posted, but will not apply retroactively. Your continued use of the Services after the posting of a Revised Version constitutes your acceptance of such Revised Version. Any Dispute that arose before the changes will be governed by the General Terms, Additional Terms or Policies in place when the Dispute arose.
You agree to USU’s E-Sign Consent. We may provide disclosures and notices required by law and other information about your USU Account to you electronically, by posting it on our website, pushing notifications through the Services, or by emailing it to the email address listed in your USU Account. Electronic disclosures and notices have the same meaning and effect as if we had provided you with paper copies. Such disclosures and notices are considered received by you within twenty-four (24) hours of the time posted to our website, or within twenty-four (24) hours of the time emailed to you unless we receive notice that the email was not delivered. If you wish to withdraw your consent to receiving electronic communications, contact USU Support. If we are not able to support your request, you may need to terminate your USU Account.

Copyright and Trademark Infringement
We respect the copyright and trademark rights of others and ask you to do the same. We have adopted a Copyright & Trademark Policy regarding claims that third party material infringes the copyrights or trademarks of others. We respond to all valid notices of such copyright and trademark infringement, and our policy is to suspend or terminate the access privileges of those who infringe the copyrights and trademarks of others.
Security
We have implemented technical and organizational measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat those measures or use your personal information for improper purposes. You provide your personal information at your own risk.
You are responsible for safeguarding your password and for restricting access to the Services from your compatible devices. You will immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or USU Account or any other breach of security. Notwithstanding Sections Disputes and Binding Individual Arbitration, in the event of any dispute between two or more parties as to account ownership, we will be the sole arbiter of such dispute in our sole discretion. Our decision (which may include termination or suspension of any USU Account subject to dispute) will be final and binding on all parties.

You consent to accept and receive communications from us in electronic form, including e-mail, text messages, calls, and push notifications to the mobile phone number you provide to us. These communications may be generated by automatic telephone dialing systems which will deliver prerecorded messages, including for the purposes of secondary authentication, receipts, reminders and other notifications. You agree that all communications provided to you by USU electronically satisfy any legal requirement that communication would satisfy if it were in writing. Standard message and data rates applied by your cell phone carrier may apply to the text messages we send you.
