Effective Date: August 2025
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a contract between you and Lectern Learning (“Lectern Learning,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and govern your use of lecternlearning.com and any pages or features that reference these Terms (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Site. We operate in the United States only.
We may update these Terms. The Effective Date above shows the latest version. Your continued use of the Site means you accept any changes.
- Supplemental terms
Some pages, features, or secure portals may have additional terms. If there’s a conflict, those additional terms control for that page, feature, or portal.
- Acceptable use
Use the Site for lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to:
• copy, sell, publicly display, or distribute Site content without permission;
• bypass or test security; overload, interfere with, or disrupt the Site;
• scrape, crawl, or harvest data; frame or mirror our pages;
• reverse-engineer our software, except where the law allows;
• use another person’s account or share your credentials.
We may suspend or end access for misuse.
- Ownership and license
All content on the Site (text, images, video, designs, software, and trademarks) is owned by Lectern Learning or our licensors and protected by U.S. law. We grant you a limited, revocable license to view the Site for your own use. No other rights are granted.
- Accounts and security (if you create one)
Keep your login confidential and up to date. You’re responsible for activity under your account. Tell us right away if you suspect unauthorized use by using the Contact Us link on lecternlearning.com.
- Learning content and no professional advice
The Site provides education and general information. It is not legal, tax, HR, safety, compliance, or other professional advice. For advice specific to you or your organization, consult qualified professionals.
- Subscriptions, renewals, and cancellations (U.S.–only)
If we offer paid plans or auto-renewing subscriptions, we will:
• show key terms clearly before you pay (price, renewal timing, how to cancel);
• get your express consent before charging;
• send you an order record/acknowledgment you can keep;
• provide a simple way to cancel—online if you signed up online;
• send renewal or reminder notices when required by applicable law (for example, longer terms, free trials, annual renewals, material changes, or price changes).
If you enrolled by phone or another method, we’ll provide a cancellation method by that same channel when the law requires it. When your state’s law gives you stronger rights than these Terms, we honor your state’s law.
- User submissions (feedback/uploads)
If you submit reviews, comments, files, or other content, you keep your rights. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that content to operate, maintain, improve, and promote the Site and our services. Don’t submit content you don’t have the right to share, and don’t submit anything unlawful or that infringes others’ rights.
- Third-party content and links
We may reference third-party sites or content. We don’t control or endorse them and aren’t responsible for them. Use them at your own risk.
- DMCA notices (copyright)
If you believe something on our Site infringes your copyright, send us a notice with the required elements (signature, identification of the work and the material at issue, your contact information, and the required good-faith and perjury statements). Use the Contact Us link on lecternlearning.com to reach our DMCA contact. We act promptly consistent with the DMCA and may terminate repeat infringers.
- Children and age limits
The Site is for users 13 and older. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have, use Contact Us and we’ll address it.
- Disclaimers; limits of liability
The Site is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim all warranties (express, implied, or statutory), including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, and security.
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we won’t be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or lost profits. Where a limit can’t apply, we limit our liability to the maximum allowed by law.
- Resolving disputes (arbitration; class-action waiver; small claims)
Most issues can be resolved informally—please reach out via Contact Us. If we can’t resolve a dispute, you and we agree to binding arbitration on an individual basis in Wilmington, Delaware. If you’re a consumer, the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules apply; otherwise, the AAA Commercial Rules apply. Either party may go to small-claims court for eligible claims, and either may seek an injunction to protect intellectual property.
Class-action waiver. You and we waive any right to a class, collective, or representative action.
30-day opt-out. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days after you first accept these Terms by contacting us via Contact Us with your name, email used on the Site (if any), and a statement that you opt out of arbitration.
- California consumer rights notice
Under California Civil Code §1789.3, California users are entitled to the following:

- Changes, suspension, and termination
We may change or discontinue any part of the Site at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms. Provisions that by their nature should survive (for example, ownership, disclaimers, limits of liability, dispute resolution) will survive termination.
- U.S. only; compliance with law
We control and operate the Site from the United States and direct it to U.S. users. Access where unlawful is prohibited. You’re responsible for complying with U.S. law and your local laws that apply to you.
- Governing law and venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to conflict-of-law rules), except where your state’s consumer laws provide additional mandatory rights.
- Miscellaneous
• Entire agreement. These Terms (plus any supplemental terms and our Privacy Policy) are the entire agreement about the Site.
• Severability. If any part is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a term isn’t a waiver.
