1. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
GreenLight Services are intended for its registered users, which include students, alumni, educational institutions ("Institutions") scholarship organizations and employers ("3rd Party Users") (collectively "Registered Users"). Services made available to Registered Users shall include, but are not limited to: the confidential collection, storage and sharing of student records, transcripts, credentials and other educational attainment information from Institutions and other education providers ("Student Records") for the purpose of supporting Registered Users use of the Services; administration and storage of Student Records for permitted uses by approved employees of Institutions ("Registered Users"); allowing Registered Users to share and receive Student Records with others; and, establish an education and workforce development mechanism to assist Registered Users to identify, engage and create educational and employment opportunities.
Greenlight Credentials utilizes a Distributed Ledger platform to create and support academic lockers where student and alumni Registered Users can securely keep their life-long learning records from their various educational and other institutions establishing their Student Record. Once a student or alumni activates their account, the Student Records associated with that account are owned and controlled by the Registered User. The academic record contained in student and alumni Registered Users accounts are provided by academic institutions, and other third parties. Registered Users seeking to share their Student Records will have full control over the sharing of their evidence of learning contained in their accounts. Shared information is delivered to recipients by secure and encrypted methods in order to protect Registered Users and to promote the purpose of the Services. Recipients of information shared by Registered Users will be able to instantly view and verify that the records are authentic and unaltered. For the purposes of shared Content, GreenLight represents that the Content was written and authored by participating Institutions associated with the Content.
Greenlight Credentials also provides value added services to Registered Users helping them connect with educational and employment opportunities. For the value added services, no personally identifiable information is ever shared with third parties without prior consent and permission. Registered Users remain in complete control of any third party contact through permissions, consents and notices by opting in or opting out of a specific third party contact at any time they desire.
GreenLight may make available for purchase certain Services, including ordering, processing, and delivery of certain student records via electronic media or otherwise. Access to information and records and the purchase of Services pertaining thereto may be password restricted to persons who: (i) are at least 13 years old (and, where applicable, have the required consent), (ii) register with GreenLight and (iii) accept and abide by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Services, including the release of new versions thereof, the introduction of new products, services, tools or properties directed at Registered Users or visitors to the Site, shall be subject to this Agreement. GreenLight is under no obligation to update the Site, the Services or any information or data contained on the Site or used in connection with the Services.
