1. Introduction
Welcome to SchoolAI's Terms of Service agreement. This agreement governs the use of the SchoolAI software and related services (the "Service") provided to Districts, Schools, and Educators ("the Customer") by SchoolAI ("the Company"). By using the Service, you agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Service.
Furthermore, if you are an Educator in a private or public Institution, you represent and warrant to us that you are authorized to agree to these Terms on behalf of your organization and provide consent on behalf of your Students. Additionally, as an educator, you represent and warrant that SchoolAI shall be considered a School Official, as defined by FERPA, with a legitimate educational interest, and performing services otherwise provided by the educator.
SchoolAI complies with (and facilitates compliance with) applicable law, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We rely on consent by the Educator User as the basis for collecting this information. If you are a parent, guardian, or teacher and believe that your child or student under the age of 16 has provided SchoolAI with personally identifiable information without your consent, please notify hello@schoolai.com so that we can promptly delete the information from our servers.
2. Accounts
SchoolAI provides two types of account: Individual accounts or institution accounts. Both account types are intended for Educators and Administrators. Each account type offers multiple tiers for usage and features.
Students do not need accounts for use cases that may be enabled by Educators and Administrators.
This section outlines the process for creating and managing user accounts, including guidelines for appropriate use and deletion of personal information.
To use the Service, the Customer must create an account with SchoolAI. The Customer is responsible for maintaining the security of its account and ensuring that its users comply with the terms of this agreement. The Company reserves the right to terminate or suspend the Service in the event that the Customer or its users violate the terms of this agreement. Users may request the deletion of their personal information by contacting SchoolAI at hello@schoolai.com.
Educators and Administrators are not authorized to share their account credentials. Authorized users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of passwords associated with their account and are responsible for all activities that occur under their account.
Furthermore, you are solely responsible for any consequences, losses, or damages that we may directly or indirectly incur or suffer due to any unauthorized activities conducted by you. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your password or of your account, you agree to notify SchoolAI immediately at hello@schoolai.com.
