There are occasions when we need to collect personally-identifiable information about you (such as your name, address, telephone number, social security number). If we do so, it is done so that we were able to provide information to your game instructor (professor) about your participation in the business simulation. We keep this personally-identifiable information on our servers only temporarily and delete it once your simulation game is finished and the results are evaluated by your instructor/professor. We do not use this personally-identifiable information for any other purpose.

Once the credit card information is processed, the transaction is deleted from our electronic database. The transaction data is stored afterwards in paper form only.

We will not seek to gather additional information from third parties or enhance or merge personally-identifiable information with data obtained from third parties. We will not give or sell your personally-identifiable information to any outside organization.

Terms of use:

Payment of licensing fee

Each person who participates in the Marketplace business simulation must pay the licensing fee. As a convenience to the participants and instructor, the total cost of using the software is broken down into a per-person fee. If some of the participants on a team do not pay for the service, then the total cost is not recovered.

Every person on a team must purchase the legal right to participate in the Marketplace simulation.

The instructor will be asked to collect the licensing fee for any student who is participating in the Marketplace simulation, but has not paid for that right. If there is difficulty in collecting the fee, then the head administrator of the associated college/university/business will be asked to help collect the fee.

Validity of accounts

Students' accounts are valid for the period of time that starts at the moment the student signs up for the game and ends 8 weeks after the last quarter of the game is due. We reserve the right to grant extended access to the student on a per case basis.

Instructors' accounts validity is not time limited.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password, and agree that Innovative Learning Solutions, Inc., will have no obligations with regard thereto.
