Terms & Condition

Terms of Service

Welcome to https://cfp.iae.education (the “Site”), a website owned and operated by IAE, Inc. (“IAE,” “us,” “we” or “our”). We offer a platform to support faculty and institutions with the subtle, complex challenges around academic review, tenure, and promotion, as well as faculty activity reporting. We take the information you provide us and offer a number of related services (“Services”).  By using this Site and our Services you agree to these Terms of Use (and are referred to herein as “you” and “your”).  If you do not wish to agree to the Terms of Use you are not authorized to access this Site or to use the Services and must cease using this Site and the Services immediately.
  1. OUR ECOSYSTEM.

     We have designed our Services to meet the needs of various types of users of our Site and/or our Services (collective, the “Users”). You may be any one or more of the following types of Users, depending on how you are using the Services at any particular time:
    1. Visitor. A Visitor may browse the Site in accordance with these Terms of Use, but will not have access to our core Services without being a Registered User.
    2. Candidate. A Candidate is an employee, faculty member, or other person who wish to manage their academic and professional credentials for their own benefit through our Services.  As a Candidate you may receive your account through an association with an Institutional Customer or you may join IAE without such affiliation.
    3. Account Administrator.An Account Administrator is a person assigned by an Institutional Customer or Recipient who manages the access for his or her Institutional Customer and authorizes other Account Administrators, as well as in certain cases assigns and manages accounts of Candidates associated with such Institutional Customer.
    4. Institutional Customer.An Institutional Customer is an entity (generally but not always a college or university) for whom IAE has agreed to provide Services to such entity as well as to Candidates associated with, or seeking to be associated with, such entity, which Services are managed by an Account Administrator.
  2. We refer to all Users other than Visitors who submit recommendations solely through postal mail as “Registered Users”. To become a Registered User, you must provide your name and email address (either directly to us, or we may receive it from an Institutional Customer) and select a password (your email address and password, collectively your “Log-In Credentials”). You may not transfer or share your Log-In Credentials with any third parties, and you are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Log-In Credentials. You acknowledge and agree that we rely on Log-In Credentials to know whether Registered Users accessing the Site and using our Services are authorized to do so. If someone accesses our Site or Services using your Log-In Credentials, you authorize us to rely on the Log-In Credentials and to assume that it is you who is accessing the Site and Services. You are solely responsible for any and all use of your Log-In Credentials and all activities that occur under or in connection with your Log-In Credentials or account. You agree to be responsible for any act or omission on the Site or Services conducted under your Log-In Credentials.  You agree not to register for an account on behalf of an individual other than yourself, or register for an account on behalf of any group or entity (except if you are an Account Administrator, in which case you may register for another person to the extent permitted within the Services but you agree to never use the Log-In Credentials of another person).  You represent to us that all information in your account profile and the associated Dossiers and Portfolios is true, accurate, current and complete, and you agree to maintain and promptly update such information to keep it true, accurate, current and complete prior to each use of the Services. If we have a reasonable belief or suspicion that such information is not true, accurate, current, or complete, we may deny or terminate your access to the Site or Services (or any portion thereof).
  3. MANAGING DOSSIERS.

    1. a) Dossiers. Candidates use our Services to help manage their academic information and other documents. Dossiers may include Confidential Personal Information submitted by other Registered Users about a Candidate.  We understand the sensitive nature of this Confidential Personal Information.  In accordance with our Privacy Policy, You hereby authorize us to make Dossiers available to the Account Administrators associated with you as a Candidate of the Candidate unless you opt out of such sharing through the Service.  A Dossier is a secondary source of document storage.  While we endeavour to employ industry standard systems to avoid any data loss, as between you and us it is your responsibility to ensure you have backup copies of all of the documents and information available through your Dossier.
    2. b) Portfolios.Our Portfolio service allows you as a Candidate to create a website on the Service touting your achievements. You as a Candidate can put whatever you wish on your public, online Portfolio, including the same information as Dossiers; provided, however, that you will not be able to include Confidential Personal Information (as defined in our Privacy Policy that is a part of these Terms of Use) submitted by Registered Users other than Candidates on your Portfolio.  Details of how Confidential Personal Information is used and disclosed is set forth in our Privacy Policy.
    3. c) Upload. As described below, you will be able to upload certain information related to your Dossier to our Site and Services. Subject to your compliance with the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use, we will take commercially reasonable efforts to store and retain a copy of your Dossier and Portfolio to a server operated by IAE or our agents. You agree to upload your Portfolios and Dossier in compliance with our documentation for the Services. You hereby grant us a license to use, reproduce, access, view, modify and reformat without making any editorial changes to content, translate and distribute your Dossier and Portfolios, solely and to the limited extent necessary to perform our obligations hereunder and provide you the Services. This includes the right to distribute access to view your Dossier and Portfolios through the Services.
    4. d) Access. We will take reasonable efforts to restrict access to the Dossiers to Registered Users using their applicable Log-In Credentials who are authorized to view such information.  However, no password-protected system of data storage and retrieval can be made entirely impenetrable and you acknowledge that our Site and the Services are not invulnerable to all security breaches or immune from errors, viruses, security threats or other vulnerabilities.
    5. e) Review. We do not ordinarily review, inspect, edit or monitor any Dossiers or components thereof, except as set otherwise provided herein (including the section titled “Verification” below). If we believe that a Dossier is being used for storage and distribution of any illegal material such as copyrighted content, we reserve the right to examine the content of the Dossier. We reserve the right to refuse, remove or disable access to any Dossier stored on our servers for any reason we deem necessary to protect the Services from disruption, reputational harm, or us from liability, or other reasons we deem reasonable, including that the Dossier or their storage is illegal or may violate these Terms of Use. WE TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONTENT OF ANY COMPONENT OF YOUR DOSSIER SUBMITTED ABOUT YOU BY SOMEONE ELSE, INCLUDING ANY CONFIDENTIAL PERSONAL INFORMATION THEREIN.  YOU AGREE THAT IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE ANY CLAIM WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CONTENT, YOU WILL TAKE UP SUCH CLAIM, AS BETWEEN US AND SUCH OTHER PERSON, SOLELY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH OTHER PERSON.
    6. f) Verification. We may, but are not obligated to, review individual confidential documents that comprise Dossiers as is reasonably necessary to provide the Services, including to ensure their placement in the correct Dossier, the quality of the file itself (e.g., it was scanned clearly) and that they are current (i.e., an old version from ten years ago was not mistakenly sent), or in connection with any claim of a criminal, fraudulent or similar act. We do not review the documents to evaluate the quality of the content contained in them. Though we use commercially reasonable efforts when we chose to provide these verification Services, we cannot and do not guarantee the results of our verification services. We do not make any representations or warranties about the effectiveness of those Services. As between you and us, it is your responsibility as a User to provide any and all verification and quality control for any non-confidential documents that you have submitted to the Dossier.
  4. FEES.

    1. We may charge fees for Candidates to use and maintain Dossiers. As a Candidate, you agree to pay our then-current and applicable fees for Services where such fees are identified to you in advance of using the Service. Your use of certain Services may be limited to the restrictions established in your applicable plan (e.g., limitations on storage amounts). IAE charges and collects in advance for use of certain Services. Some Institutional Customers cover certain fees incurred by their students using certain Services as Candidates, but that may not apply to you and you acknowledge that you may be charged different rates than other Candidates.
    2. Renewal. Both our Portfolio and Dossier services currently renew automatically. Upon renewal of your subscription for any of our Services you will be asked to pay our then-current renewal fees for such renewed subscription.
    1. Non-Payment.You further agree that we may suspend your access to any Services if, at any time, you have not paid all fees that you owe to us. In the event we are unable to collect the fees you owe us, we may take any other steps we deem necessary to collect such fees from you, and that you will be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by us in connection with such collection activity, including collection fees, court costs and attorneys’ fees. Any amounts not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum legal rate, if less.
    1. In the event of termination of a Service, we may provide you with a refund of any pre-paid, but unused fees related to such Service, effective at the beginning of the next interval (month or year) of your Service in our discretion. No refund shall be paid for the current interval’s Services, regardless of the day on which you cancel the Services. We will issue the refund within 60 days of when your cancellation request is processed. You will not be entitled to any refund for our termination of the Services based upon your breach. Requested refunds for other fees or transactions on the site will be granted in our sole discretion.
    1. We may run promotional offers from time to time on the Site. The terms of any such promotion will be posted on the Site. Unless otherwise indicated, we may establish and modify, in our sole discretion, the terms of such offer and end such offer at any point.
