Welcome to the Goddard Systems, Inc., Internet site (the “Site”). The Site is owned and operated by Goddard Systems, Inc. (“GSI”). This page contains the GSI Internet Site Terms and Conditions of Use (these “Terms & Conditions”). The Site is made available only to those who agree to these Terms & Conditions. As such, these Terms & Conditions govern and control your access to and use of the Site and by accessing and using the Site you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms & Conditions.

1. The Site and GSI’s Business. GSI is the franchisor for a franchise system relating to the establishment and operation of pre-school early learning centers throughout the United States (each a “School”). Under the terms of GSI’s franchise agreement, GSI provides certain authorizations, licenses and other rights to third party franchisees (each an “Authorized Franchisee”). Authorized Franchisees then open and run their own Schools under the quality assurance and other guidelines established by GSI but otherwise independent of GSI’s control. GSI itself is not engaged in the delivery of education or instructional services of any type, is not itself a licensed educational institution in any jurisdiction nor does it actually operate any School. Access to portions of this Site may be limited to the Authorized Franchisees of GSI who have been provided with necessary password and log-on information by GSI. GSI is not responsible for the operation of any School or for the conduct of its Authorized Franchisees including with respect to any Internet sites they may operate independent of this Site (whether or not linked to this Site).

2. Proprietary Rights; Compliance with Laws. GSI owns all right, title and interest including, without limitation, all intellectual property rights (including all copyrights, patents and trademarks), proprietary rights (including trade secrets), and moral rights (including the rights of authorship and attribution), throughout the world in and to the Site including all the content, code, data, materials and the look, feel, design and organization of the Site.
