i was a product of the “princeton review” SAT tutoring program
(at the behest of the old man)
(so he could make sure that they…and by default he…could take credit for whatever score i achieved on the test…)
(exhausted after 3 hours of football practice (and more schoolwork to come), i hardly paid attention (and never once did any of the assignments)…but i suppose it “helped”)
i took the “SAT IIs” on two separate occasions:
math IIC – 800
writing – 800
reading comprehension – 760
in spring 2011, i became an SAT tutor…

Any and all inventions, discoveries, developments and innovations conceived by Contractor prior to the term of this Agreement and utilized by Contractor in rendering duties to the Company are hereby licensed to the Company for use in its operations and for an infinite duration.

Confidentiality. Contractor acknowledges that during the engagement, Contractor will have access to and become acquainted with various trade secrets, inventions, innovations, processes, information, records and specifications owned or licensed by the Company and/or used by the Company in connection with the operation of its business including, without limitation, the Company’s business and product processes, methods, customer lists, accounts and procedures. Contractor agrees not to disclose any of the aforesaid, directly or indirectly, or use any of them in any manner, either during the term of this Agreement or at any time thereafter, except as required in the course of this engagement with the Company. All files, records, documents, blueprints, specifications, information, letters, notes, media lists, original artwork/creative, notebooks, and similar items relating to the business of the Company, whether prepared by Contractor or otherwise coming into Contractor’s possession, shall remain the exclusive property of the Company. Contractor shall not retain any copies of the foregoing without the Company’s prior written permission.

Contractor represents that Contractor is free to enter into this Agreement, and that this engagement does not violate the terms of any agreement between Contractor and any third party. Further, Contractor, in rendering Contractor’s duties shall not utilize any invention, discovery, development, improvement, innovation, or trade secret in which Contractor does not have a proprietary interest. During the term of this agreement, Contractor shall devote as much of Contractor’s productive time, energy and abilities to the performance of Contractor’s duties hereunder as is necessary to perform the required duties in a timely and productive manner.

Right to Injunction. The parties hereto acknowledge that the services to be rendered by Contractor under this Agreement and the rights and privileges granted to the Company under the Agreement are of a special, unique, unusual, and extraordinary character which gives them a peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated by damages in any action at law, and the breach by Contractor of any of the provisions of this Agreement will cause the Company irreparable injury and damage. Contractor expressly agrees that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief in the event of, or to prevent, a breach of any provision of this Agreement by Contractor. Resort to such equitable relief, however, shall not be construed to be a waiver of any other rights or remedies that the Company may have for damages or otherwise. The various rights and remedies of the Company under this Agreement or otherwise shall be construed to be cumulative, and no one of them shall be exclusive of any other or of any right or remedy allowed by law.
Merger. This Agreement shall not be terminated by the merger or consolidation of the Company into or with any other entity.

Independent Contractor. This Agreement shall not render Contractor as an employee, partner, agent of, or joint venturer with the Company for any purpose. Contractor is and will remain an independent contractor in Contractor’s relationship to the Company. The Company shall not be responsible for withholding taxes with respect to Contractor’s compensation hereunder. Contractor shall have no claim against the Company hereunder or otherwise for vacation pay, sick leave, retirement benefits, social security, worker’s compensation, health or disability benefits, unemployment insurance benefits, or employee benefits of any kind.
Successors and Assigns. All of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, if any, successors, and assigns.

Waiver. Waiver by one party hereto of breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other shall not operate or be construed as a continuing waiver.
Assignment. Contractor shall not assign any of Contractor’s rights under this Agreement, or delegate the performance of any of Contractor’s duties hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Company.

(the “college board” is an ‘american ‘not-for-profit’ organization’ that was formed in ‘december 1899’ as the college entrance examination board (aka ‘CEEB’) to expand access to ‘higher education’)
(while (the) ‘college board’ is not an association of colleges, it runs a membership association of institutions, including over 6,000 schools, colleges, universities and other ‘educational organizations’)
(the ‘college board’ develops and administers standardized tests and curricula used by K–12 and post-secondary education institutions to promote college-readiness and as part of the ‘college admissions process’)
(the ‘college board’ is headquartered in ‘new york city’)
(‘david coleman’ has been the president of College Board since October 2012)
(he replaced ‘gaston caperton’, former Governor of West Virginia, who had held this position since 1999)
(in addition to managing assessments for which it charges fees, College Board provides resources, tools, and services to students, parents, colleges and universities in the areas of college planning, recruitment and admissions, financial aid, and ‘retention’)
.
(it is partly funded by grants from various foundations, such as the “‘bill’ + ‘melinda’ gates foundation” until ‘2009’)
