The foregoing course information and course event are collectively referred to hereinafter as “Course Event”. The Course Event is collected either by public information available to the Company or by the designated universities. Although the Course Event may be updated from time to time at the Company's discretion, the Service does NOT provide real-time update to the Course Event. The scope of Course Event presented to Member is selected in accordance with the email that Members used when creating the Account.

(iii) Calendar Service:
Manage all personal events and Course Events together in a single view and support a time-slot matching feature to quickly assist Members in arranging their available time with each other. Members’ may be able to invite other Members so that the invited Members can see event details on inviting Member’s calendar.

In the case that there is no invitation, Members may still be able to see on the calendar each other’s available time slots that contains no event details.

Members can explore and contribute to course reviews for their university on the Service, sharing their feedback for the course. The Service may allow Members to provide course review and related opinion anonymously (the “Anonymous Opinion”), provided that, it does not free Members from taking all responsibilities, including those specified in these Terms, for their own Anonymous Opinion.
