Terms of Use

When you authorize your children to use Orsch, they can share fun and cool moments with their friends and family. They can post videos, pictures, view their friends’ profiles, see what Orsch is up to, and explore the world of digital sharing.

Once you create an account with us, you are registered on the Orsch Site. The terms “member,” “membership,” and “account” all refer to this registration as a member on Orsch‘s Site. If you are merely surfing or browsing through the Site and have not yet created an account, your use of the Site is still subject to this Agreement; if you do not agree to this Agreement, do not use the Site.

​

When you share something — a comment, an emoji, a picture or a video — on the Internet or through an app, including through Orsch, that sharing is essentially permanent. While there are ways to delete some content or your account, once you have shared something with someone else, that person or group of people will always have a copy of what you shared with them in their Orsch accounts. So, we always recommend you pause for a moment before you share because the Internet creates a permanent record. Do not post anything you might later regret posting.

 

To use Orsch, students must promise:

​

  • To post only pictures and videos which they have permission to post.

  • Never to post pictures or videos of other people without their permission.

  • Never to post personal information or the personal information of others, including phone number, email address, home address or usernames from other social media sites or applications with the possibilities for direct calls.

  • Never to bully or harass others, nor to interfere with anyone else’s use and enjoyment of the site. 

  • Never to post any content that is disruptive, uncivil, abusive, vulgar, profane, obscene, hateful, fraudulent, threatening, harassing, defamatory, or which discloses private or personal matters concerning any person.

 

 

We have the right, but not the obligation, to take any of the following actions in our sole discretion at any time and for any reason without giving you any prior notice:

​

  • Restrict, suspend or terminate your access to all or any part of our Site;

  • Refuse, move, or remove any content that is available on all or any part of our Site;

Orsch aims to celebrate student achievements and accomplishments by sharing their successes on our website, on social media platforms, and in print. 

​

It is our belief that celebrating and presenting student created products and images (quotes, projects, artwork, videos, photos, essays, poetry, interviews, etc) is a motivating and encouraging practice. As such, sharing student success is a cornerstone of Orsch’s platform. Many of our students aim to utilize Orsch’s awards and Showcase as portfolio pieces or official honors in resumes or college applications. 

​

Orsch will occasionally record and/or video student discussion during classes, workshops, or virtual gatherings. Often these clips are worth sharing to inspire others and facilitate an atmosphere of inclusion and the appreciation of student voice. As such, you grant Orsch, its employees, representatives, and authorized media organizations permission to use your/your child’s image, voice, video, work, and full name on Orsch’s website, Orsch’s social media platforms, and any other news or informative media.
