Legal
Terms of Service
Last updated: September 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of the Green Our Planet Studios website and any public demonstrations, prototypes, interactive experiences, or other services provided by The Virtual Academy, doing business as Green Our Planet Studios, that link to these Terms (collectively, the "Services").
"Green Our Planet Studios," "we," "us," and "our" refer to The Virtual Academy, doing business as Green Our Planet Studios.
Please read these Terms carefully.
Some schools, school districts, businesses, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and other clients use our Services under a separate written agreement with Green Our Planet Studios. If a separate written agreement applies and conflicts with these Terms, that agreement controls for the applicable Services.
1. What Green Our Planet Studios Does
Green Our Planet Studios designs and builds interactive AI characters and educational, training, coaching, guidance, and engagement tools.
Our work may include AI Teaching Assistants, Teaching Coaches, trainers, guides, product experts, avatars, conversational characters, curricula, educational videos, and other digital content and tools.
Some Services use artificial intelligence and technology provided by third parties.
Our public website primarily provides information about Green Our Planet Studios and allows visitors to contact us. We may also make demonstrations, pilots, prototypes, beta features, or other interactive Services available through our website or through links we provide.
Features, functionality, technology, and availability may vary among Services.
2. Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Services
Some Services use artificial intelligence, conversational AI, avatars, speech technology, or similar systems.
AI-generated responses are produced dynamically. They may sometimes be inaccurate, incomplete, inappropriate, unexpected, or different when similar questions are asked more than once.
Users should exercise appropriate judgment when relying on AI-generated information.
Unless Green Our Planet Studios expressly states otherwise in writing, AI-generated information provided through our Services is intended for educational, training, informational, or engagement purposes and is not medical, legal, financial, or other regulated professional advice.
You should not rely on an AI-generated response as the sole basis for an important decision.
Where a Service is used in an educational setting, AI Teaching Assistants, Teaching Coaches, and other AI characters are intended to support educators and learners, not replace appropriate educator judgment, supervision, or responsibility.
We may implement additional instructions, safeguards, monitoring, restrictions, or human oversight for particular Services or deployments.
3. Services Used by Students
Some Green Our Planet Studios Services are designed for students and are intended to be used through schools, school districts, educators, educational programs, or other authorized organizations, generally with appropriate adult oversight.
Unless Green Our Planet Studios expressly provides otherwise for a particular Service, our student-facing Services are not intended to operate as independent consumer services for children.
Green Our Planet Studios seeks to minimize the personal information needed to provide student-facing Services. Depending on the deployment, students may not need individual Green Our Planet Studios accounts, email addresses, or other direct identifiers.
However, interactive technologies may process information provided during an interaction, which can include text, selections, voice input, uploaded material, or other information. The information processed, how long it is retained, and the technologies involved may vary depending on the particular Service and deployment.
Student data practices for school deployments may be governed by additional privacy notices, data-protection terms, school or district requirements, and written agreements.
Green Our Planet Studios will address applicable student-privacy requirements, including requirements that may arise under COPPA, FERPA, and applicable state student-privacy laws, based on the particular Service and deployment.
Users should not submit student education records, sensitive personal information, or other personal information that is unnecessary for use of a Service unless the applicable deployment specifically permits and provides for that information.
4. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how Green Our Planet Studios collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise handles information through our website and Services.
Additional privacy notices or contractual terms may apply to particular school deployments, client projects, pilots, demonstrations, or other Services.
Please review the Privacy Policy before providing personal information through our Services.
5. Information and Materials You Provide
You may provide information or materials to Green Our Planet Studios through our contact forms, communications with us, demonstrations, or interactive Services.
Depending on the Service, this may include text, voice input, uploaded files, selections, feedback, or other content.
You represent that you have the right to provide materials you submit and that doing so does not violate applicable law or another person's rights.
You should not submit confidential, sensitive, or personally identifiable information unless it is reasonably necessary and authorized for the particular Service.
Information necessary to operate a Service may be processed by technology providers that support Green Our Planet Studios, such as hosting, cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence, speech, avatar, analytics, communications, or security providers. Our Privacy Policy and, where applicable, client agreements provide additional information about these practices.
6. Acceptable Use
You may use our Services only for lawful and authorized purposes.
You may not:
- interfere with or disrupt the operation or security of the Services;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems, accounts, networks, data, or Services;
- bypass, disable, defeat, or circumvent security or access controls;
- introduce malware, malicious code, or other harmful technology;
- scrape, crawl, probe, overload, attack, or systematically extract content or data from the Services except as expressly authorized by us;
- reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to discover the source code or proprietary architecture of the Services except where applicable law expressly permits it;
- attempt to extract or discover proprietary system prompts, instructions, safeguards, configurations, or other nonpublic components of an AI Service;
- systematically harvest AI outputs or interactions for the purpose of building or training a competing product, model, or service without our written permission;
- copy, clone, imitate, or create unauthorized derivative versions of Green Our Planet Studios characters, voices, personas, curricula, or other proprietary materials;
- use the Services to violate applicable law or another person's rights;
- impersonate another person or organization or misrepresent your affiliation with one;
- use a Service for fraudulent, abusive, harassing, harmful, or unlawful purposes; or
- deliberately use an interactive Service in a manner materially inconsistent with its intended purpose.
We may restrict, suspend, or terminate access when reasonably necessary to protect users, clients, Green Our Planet Studios, our technology providers, our intellectual property, or the security and integrity of the Services.
7. Green Our Planet Studios Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated or agreed in writing, Green Our Planet Studios owns or licenses the original content and intellectual property associated with its website and Services, including applicable text, graphics, designs, branding, characters, avatars, character identities, videos, curricula, software, interfaces, prompts, configurations, and other materials.
These materials are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
Except as expressly permitted by Green Our Planet Studios, you may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, sell, license, publish, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit our intellectual property.
Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of Green Our Planet Studios intellectual property to you.
For custom work created for a client, ownership, licensing rights, and permitted uses are determined by the applicable client agreement.
8. Client-Provided Materials
Clients may provide Green Our Planet Studios with curricula, documents, data, trademarks, branding, lesson materials, product information, training materials, or other content in connection with a project.
Those materials remain the property of the client or other applicable rights holder.
The applicable client agreement determines how Green Our Planet Studios may access, use, modify, process, store, or reproduce client-provided materials.
Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of client-provided materials to Green Our Planet Studios.
9. Third-Party Technology and Services
Green Our Planet Studios may use, integrate with, or provide access through technology or services supplied by third parties, including providers of artificial intelligence models, avatars, speech technologies, hosting, cloud infrastructure, analytics, communications, security, and related services.
Third-party services may be subject to their own terms, policies, technical limitations, and availability.
Except as otherwise provided in a separate written agreement, Green Our Planet Studios does not control and is not responsible for the independent actions, availability, performance, or policies of third-party services.
We may change third-party technologies or providers as our Services develop, provided that any applicable contractual, privacy, security, or legal obligations continue to be addressed.
10. Demos, Pilots, Prototypes, and Beta Features
Green Our Planet Studios may provide access to demonstrations, pilots, prototypes, experimental features, beta services, or other pre-release technology.
These Services may be incomplete and may change as they are tested and developed.
Unless a separate written agreement states otherwise, we may modify, suspend, replace, or discontinue these Services at any time.
If you voluntarily provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about a public demo, prototype, or Service, Green Our Planet Studios may use that feedback to evaluate and improve its products and Services without obligation to compensate you.
This provision does not override confidentiality, intellectual-property, privacy, or other obligations contained in a separate written agreement.
11. Availability and Changes to Services
We may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue portions of our public website or Services.
We do not guarantee that public Services will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
Any specific availability, support, service-level, or continuity commitments made to a client are governed by that client's written agreement.
12. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the public website and any demos, prototypes, beta features, or other services governed solely by these terms are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
Green Our Planet Studios does not warrant that the Services will always be accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
We do not warrant that AI-generated responses will always be accurate, appropriate, complete, or suitable for a particular purpose.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.
A separate written agreement may provide different warranties for particular client Services.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Green Our Planet Studios and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and affiliates will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising out of or relating to use of or inability to use services governed solely by these terms.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Green Our Planet Studios' total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to a service governed solely by these terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid Green Our Planet Studios for that service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or (b) $100.
These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
A separate written client agreement may establish different liability limitations for Services governed by that agreement.
14. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Green Our Planet Studios and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and affiliates from claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, and reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from:
- your unlawful or unauthorized use of the Services;
- your material violation of these Terms; or
- materials you provide or actions you take that infringe or violate another person's rights.
This section does not apply to the extent a separate written agreement establishes different indemnification obligations.
15. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate access to a Service governed solely by these Terms if you materially violate these Terms or if we reasonably determine that suspension or termination is necessary to protect users, clients, Green Our Planet Studios, third parties, intellectual property, or the security or integrity of the Services.
Provisions that by their nature should continue after termination, including intellectual-property provisions, warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and dispute provisions, will survive termination.
16. No Partnership or Agency
Using our website or Services does not create a partnership, joint venture, employment, agency, fiduciary, franchise, or similar relationship between you and Green Our Planet Studios.
Neither party has authority to bind the other unless expressly agreed in writing.
17. Resolving Disputes
Before filing a lawsuit arising from these Terms, you and Green Our Planet Studios agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally.
A party seeking to raise a dispute should provide reasonable written notice describing the issue and allow at least 30 days for the parties to attempt to resolve it.
This informal-resolution requirement does not prevent either party from seeking immediate injunctive or other equitable relief when reasonably necessary to protect intellectual property, confidential information, security, or other rights from imminent harm.
18. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, any legal proceeding arising from these Terms that is not resolved informally will be brought in the applicable state or federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada, and the parties consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
19. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms as our website, Services, technologies, or legal requirements change.
When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and provide any additional notice required by applicable law.
Changes will apply prospectively from their effective date.
Changes to Services governed by a separate written client agreement remain subject to that agreement.
20. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
21. No Waiver
If Green Our Planet Studios does not enforce a provision of these Terms in a particular instance, that does not waive our right to enforce that provision or any other provision later.
22. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with any policies expressly incorporated into them, constitute the agreement between you and Green Our Planet Studios concerning Services governed solely by these Terms.
If a separate written agreement between Green Our Planet Studios and a client applies to a Service and conflicts with these Terms, the separate written agreement controls for that Service.
