Terms of Service

 

Thank you for your interest in using the online services operated by Hiperware Labs Inc. (hereafter called “CLASSHERO”). These Terms of Service govern your use of online and/or mobile services, apps, websites, and software provided on or in connection with www.classhero.com (collectively, the “Service”), which are offered through (i) www.classhero.com, (ii) mobile applications associated with www.classhero.com, and (iii) any other CLASSHERO website, app or online service which links to these Terms of Service.

By accessing or using the Service, or by clicking a button or checking a box marked “I Agree” (or something similar), you signify that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the “Agreement”), and to the collection and use of your information as set forth in our Privacy Policy, whether or not you are a registered user of our Service. CLASSHERO reserves the right to modify this Agreement so long as it provides notice of these changes to you as described below. This Agreement applies to all visitors, users, and others who access or otherwise use the Service (“you” or “Users”). If you open a CLASSHERO account on behalf of a School, company, organization, or other entity, then “you” includes you and that entity.

A note about Student Data: This Service may be purchased by providers of educational services, such as schools, school districts, or teachers (collectively referred to as “Schools”) that use our services for educational purposes. When CLASSHERO contracts with a School to provide the Service, we may collect or have access to Student Data (defined below), which may be provided by the School or by the student. We consider such Student Data to be strictly confidential and in general do not use such data for any purpose other than improving and providing our Services to the School or on the school’s behalf. Our collection, use and sharing of Student Data is governed by this Agreement and any applicable laws and regulations including, in the U.S., provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”), the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and applicable state laws.

PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION. THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.

  1. THE SERVICE

The Service helps its users in the learning of various subjects. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new or improved features to the Service shall be provided subject to this Agreement. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS-IS” AND THAT CLASSHERO ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY MISTAKES, ERRORS, OR OMISSIONS, INCLUDING ANY UNAVAILABILITY OF THE SERVICE OR DELETION OR LOSS OF ANY DATA RELATING TO THE SERVICE.

CLASSHERO grants you a personal, non-transferable and non-exclusive right and license to use the Service. You agree that you will not copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, reverse assemble or otherwise attempt to discover any source code, sell, assign, sublicense, grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer any right in the Software. You agree not to modify the Software in any manner or form, or to use modified versions of the Software, including (without limitation) for obtaining unauthorized access to the Service. You agree not to access the Service by any means other than through the interface that is provided by CLASSHERO for use in accessing the Service.

To use the Service, you must obtain access to the Internet, either directly or through devices that access web-based content and pay any service fees or other costs associated with such access. In addition, you must provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the Internet, including a computer and modem or other access device.

A Note About Textbooks and Curricula on the Service. CLASSHERO respects the intellectual property rights of textbook authors and publishers. CLASSHERO is divided into “Chapters” and then “Modules” that follow a scope and sequence to develop math skills. The structure of CLASSHERO is to develop skills that map to the Common Core standards or equivalent state standards. Where textbook publishers may have varied from the scope and sequence of the Common Core or equivalent state standards, CLASSHERO has adapted its own virtual practice packet so that it maps to and is equivalent in function to what the textbook prescribes. CLASSHERO never uses questions, exercises, or copyrighted material as they appear in textbooks unless CLASSHERO has a license or other contractual relationship with the curriculum provider or textbook publisher.

  1. ELIGIBILITY AND AUTHORITY

CLASSHERO does not sell the Service to children, but only to adults who can purchase the Service with a permitted payment method. If you are under eighteen (18) years of age, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent, legal guardian, or at the direction of your School. Your School may impose additional policies regarding the use of the Service, with which you must comply.

If you open a CLASSHERO account to provide the Service to students in a School, you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the School with the authority to bind the School to this Agreement, and that you agree to this Agreement on the School’s behalf. If you contact CLASSHERO to take any action with respect to an account, you represent and warrant that you have all necessary authority to request such action(s) from or on behalf of the account-holder (e.g., a School or Parent).

If you have subscribed to the Service with a Teacher Account, you will be asked to choose the textbook curriculum you are using. You may only select the curriculum and/or textbook licensed by your school district. CLASSHERO will not provide you access to any curriculum for which you do not have a license. BY SELECTING A CURRICULUM DURING THE SUBSCRIPTION PROCESS, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE A LICENSE TO THE SPECIFIC CURRICULUM OR TEXTBOOK.

The U.S. Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires that online service providers obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13. If you are a School providing the Service to children under 13, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to provide consent on behalf of parents for CLASSHERO to collect information from students under 13 before allowing such students to access our Service. We recommend that all Schools provide appropriate disclosures to students and parents regarding their use of service providers such as CLASSHERO and that they provide a copy of our Privacy Policy and the CLASSHERO Student Data Privacy Pledge to parents.

  1. YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS

In consideration of your use of the Service, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration form (such information being the “Registration Data”) and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or CLASSHERO has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, CLASSHERO has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof).

  1. GENERAL ACCOUNT INFORMATION

CLASSHERO sells access to the Service to a subscriber in the form of an account. Each paid subscriber account is provided for a term and price subject to certain renewal, cancellation, and other terms and conditions specific to the account (the “Account Terms”). The Account Terms are identified (in order of precedence) in the then-current quote or sales contract for the account, the selections made and account-specific terms disclosed when signing up for the account (which may be confirmed by e-mail), the description of account terms accessible through the CLASSHERO website when signed in to an appropriate user associated with the account and the default Account Terms set forth below. Each account may have Account Terms in addition to or different from those as set forth in this Agreement, but only to the extent set forth in a signed writing by the account subscriber and an officer of CLASSHERO.

CLASSHERO provides a variety of “account types” which may apply depending on the subscriber and the way a CLASSHERO account is created. Each account type has a default set of Account Terms which apply unless superseded as set forth above. CLASSHERO reserves the right to provision accounts that do not belong to any of these default account types and/or to provision accounts with different Account Terms regardless of its account type.

Account Types:

  • Teacher Account — A teacher account is set up and used by or on behalf of a school, such as by a teacher. Teacher accounts may generally be purchased by phone or e-mail (or may be provided at no cost to a teacher for designated periods of time and with designated constraints depending on an ongoing marketing promotion of CLASSHERO). A teacher account typically includes a single teacher user and a small number of student users (which may vary depending on the purchase). A teacher account is typically for a term of one year. The term is disclosed at the time of purchase. Teacher accounts do not automatically renew. Action must be taken by the school or its authorized representative (e.g., teacher) to renew and continue using a Teacher account past the end of the term. A Teacher account is a type of school account. More information relating to school accounts may be found in Section 5 below.
  • Site Account — A site account is purchased by or on behalf of a school or school district. Site accounts may be purchased by phone or e-mail. A site account typically includes a set number of student users. A site account may be for a term of one year or longer. The term is disclosed at the time of purchase. Site accounts do not automatically renew. Action must be taken by the school or its authorized representative (e.g., school administrator) to renew and continue using a site account past the end of the term. A site account is a type of school account. More information relating to school accounts may be found in Section 5 below.

Quotes and Proposals: Any quotes or proposals provided by CLASSHERO are valid only for a limited time and are effective only with the agreement of the relevant parties. Quotes and proposals may be withdrawn by CLASSHERO at any time in its sole discretion. Quotes and proposals may include information that is proprietary and confidential to CLASSHERO and to the maximum extent permitted by law may not be disclosed to anyone other than their intended recipient. By requesting and/or accepting receipt of a quote or proposal from CLASSHERO you agree to keep such quotes or proposals confidential, to not disclose such quotes or proposals to any third party, and to immediately return and/or destroy all quote and proposal materials upon receiving a request to do so from CLASSHERO. To the extent that public records laws may apply to a quote or proposal provided by CLASSHERO, you agree to immediately notify CLASSHERO of any public records request that may result in disclosure of a CLASSHERO quote or proposal and provide CLASSHERO all reasonable opportunities to take steps to prevent such disclosure to the maximum extent permitted by law and will reasonably cooperate with CLASSHERO.

Payments: Site accounts have the option to make payment by credit card, check, or other methods at CLASSHERO’s discretion (contact us for details). Payment must be received by CLASSHERO no later than 30 days after CLASSHERO issues an invoice. If CLASSHERO does not receive payment within 30 days, the invoice is past due and CLASSHERO reserves the right to suspend access to the affected site account(s) and take collection action. Suspension of an account does not relieve the account-holder of its obligation to pay for the account. CLASSHERO reserves the right to charge a late fee in the amount of 1% per month or the maximum permitted by law and its reasonable attorney’s fees in securing payment of past due amounts.

Cancellation: Except as set forth below or otherwise agreed by CLASSHERO in writing, accounts may not be canceled until the end of the current term of the account. Unless otherwise provided for herein, all cancellations requested before the end of the then-current term will be effective at the end of the current term.

CLASSHERO permits early cancellations only in the following circumstances:

  • In the event that the Service is permanently discontinued.
  • To the extent required by applicable law.

In the event of such an early cancellation, the parties agree that the account-holder is responsible for all amounts due and payable before the date of early cancellation without pro-ration or to the greatest extent permitted by law. The parties agree that CLASSHERO’s efforts in selling, provisioning and providing an account are front-loaded and for that reason, pro-ration of fees in the event of early cancellation is not appropriate.

End of Subscription: When an account subscription ends (e.g., at the end of the term if the account has not been renewed or has been canceled), the account no longer permits access to the Service. However, CLASSHERO may, at its sole discretion, permit continued, limited access for users of the Account for a limited time after the conclusion of the term. The Service includes built-in capabilities to download and export information relating to the account. If an account-holder or any of its users wishes to save or maintain any data, it is the account-holder and its user’s sole obligation to download such data before the conclusion of the term. Once the term of an account ends, CLASSHERO may delete data relating to an account in accordance with this Agreement and the Privacy Policy. It is the account-holder’s sole responsibility to request renewal of accounts that do not automatically renew to maintain continued access to the account and its associated data.

  1. STUDENT DATA

This Section 5 applies to a School’s use of the Service.

When CLASSHERO is used by a School for an educational purpose, CLASSHERO may collect or have access to Student Data that is provided by the School or by a student. “Student Data” is personal information that is directly related to an identifiable student and may include “educational records” as defined by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”).

The School or the student, and not CLASSHERO, owns and controls the Student Data. You authorize CLASSHERO to access, collect, transmit, modify, display and store Student Data to provide the Service and as described in this Agreement and in our Privacy Policy.

Compliance with Laws. In the U.S., CLASSHERO may collect and process Student Data as a School Official with a legitimate educational interest pursuant to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”), 20 U.S.C. § 1232(g). Individually and collectively, we and our School Users agree to uphold our obligations under FERPA, COPPA, the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (“PPRA”), applicable State laws relating to student data privacy, and with all other laws and regulations governing the protection of Student Data.

Use of Student Data. By submitting, providing us access to, or causing us to receive Student Data, you agree that CLASSHERO may use the Student Data for the purposes of (i) providing the Service, (ii) improving and developing our Service, (iii) enforcing our rights under these Terms, and (iv) as permitted with the School’s or the User’s consent.

Use of De-Identified or Anonymized Student Data. You agree that both before and after the term of the Agreement, CLASSHERO may collect, analyze, use, and retain data derived from Student Data as well as data about users’ access and use of the Service, for the purpose of operating, analyzing, improving or marketing the Service, developing new products or services, conducting research or other purposes, provided that CLASSHERO may not share or publicly disclose information that is derived from Student Data unless such data is de-identified and/or anonymized such that it cannot reasonably identify a specific individual.

Use of Personal Information for Marketing. You agree that CLASSHERO may provide customized content, advertising, and commercial messaging to school, teacher or district administrative users and other non-student users from time to time, provided that such advertisements shall not be based on Student Data. For emphasis, and without limitation, CLASSHERO shall never use Student Data to engage in targeted advertising.

Disclosure of Student Data and Third-Party Service Providers. You acknowledge and agree that CLASSHERO may provide access to Student Data to our employees and service providers which have a legitimate need to access such information to provide their services to us. We and our employees, affiliates, service providers, or agents involved in the handling, transmittal, and processing of Student Data will be required to maintain the confidentiality of such data. CLASSHERO shall not share Student Data with third parties other than as described in this Agreement and in the CLASSHERO Privacy Policy, or with consent of the School or parent.

Student Data Access and Deletion Requests. You may request that we delete Student Data in our possession at any time by providing such a request in writing, and we shall comply with such request within thirty (30) days, except that CLASSHERO shall not be required to delete Student Data that has been moved to a personal family account on the Service or as otherwise prohibited by law. A parent or student over the age of 18 seeking to access, modify, correct, or delete personal information in a student account that is connected to a School account will be instructed to contact the School to discuss data deletion or modification. CLASSHERO is not required to delete data that has been derived from Student Data if such data is de-identified and/or anonymized such that it cannot reasonably identify a specific individual.

Data Security and Breach Notification. We have implemented reasonable administrative, physical and technical safeguards designed to secure the personal information in CLASSHERO’s possession and control from unauthorized access, disclosure and use. If an unauthorized party gains access to or has been disclosed Student Data (a “Security Event”), that we have collected or received through the Service under this Agreement, we will promptly notify the School. If, due to a Security Event which is caused by the acts or omissions of CLASSHERO or its agents, a notification to an individual, organization or government agency is required under applicable privacy laws, the School shall be responsible for the timing, content, and method of any such legally-required notice and compliance with such laws and CLASSHERO shall indemnify the School for reasonable costs related to legally-required notifications. With respect to any Security Event which is not caused by the acts or omissions of CLASSHERO or its agents, CLASSHERO shall reasonably cooperate with School’s investigation of the Security Event, as School requests, at School’s reasonable expense, but CLASSHERO shall not indemnify a School for costs associated with the Security Event. CLASSHERO shall be responsible for the timing, content, cost and method of notice and compliance with such laws as they relate to users that are not associated with a School account.

State Specific Terms. The following additional terms may apply depending on the state a School is located:

5.1 Connecticut

This Section 5.1 applies to the use of the Service by Schools located in the State of Connecticut.

Ann. § 10-234aa-dd. This Section 5.1 incorporates by reference the definitions set forth in Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 10-234aa.

  2. The local or regional board of education may request the deletion of any student information, student records or student-generated content in the possession of CLASSHERO by sending a request to support@classhero.com. As permitted by Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 10-234bb(2), CLASSHERO is not required to delete information prohibited from deletion or required to be retained under state or federal law or stored as a copy as part of a disaster recovery storage system and that is (i) inaccessible to the public, and (ii) unable to be used in the normal course of business by the contractor. CLASSHERO will, however, comply with requests for deletion of student information, student, records, or student-generated content that is restored from such disaster recovery storage systems.
  3. CLASSHERO will not use student information, student records and student-generated content for any purposes other than those authorized pursuant to this Agreement.
  4. A student, parent or legal guardian of a student may review personally identifiable information contained in student information, student records or student-generated content and correct erroneous information, if any, in such student record by contacting their School. CLASSHERO will respond to such requests in accordance with instructions sent by an authorized School representative to support@classhero.com.
  5. CLASSHERO will take actions designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of student information, student records and student-generated content.
  6. CLASSHERO will promptly notify the local or regional board of education in accordance with the provisions of section 10-234dd when there has been an unauthorized release, disclosure or acquisition of student information, student records or student-generated content.
  7. Student information, student records or student-generated content shall not be retained or available to the contractor upon expiration of this Agreement. This restriction shall not apply to the extent that a student, parent or legal guardian of a student independently establishes or maintains an electronic account with CLASSHERO for the purpose of storing their student-generated content.
  8. CLASSHERO and the local or regional board of education shall ensure compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, 20 USC 1232g, as amended from time to time.
  9. The laws of the state of Connecticut shall govern the rights and duties of CLASSHERO and the local or regional board of education.
  10. If any provision of this Section 5.1 is held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity does not affect other provisions or applications of the contract which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application.
  11. ACCOUNT PASSWORD AND SECURITY

Unless you are logged in through a CLASSHERO approved third-party single-sign on system (eg. Clever or Classlink), you will have a CLASSHERO provided password and account designation upon completing the Service’s registration process. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account. You agree to (a) immediately notify CLASSHERO of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. CLASSHERO cannot and will not be liable for any unauthorized access to your account or data that arises from your acts or omissions.

20.GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE

You agree that: (i) the Service shall be deemed solely based in the state of Washington; and (ii) the Service shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than Washington. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Washington, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). This Agreement is a contract for the provision of services and not a contract for the sale of goods. The provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA), or any substantially similar legislation as may be enacted, shall not apply to this Agreement. If you are located outside of the territory of the United States, the parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not govern this Agreement or the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state courts located in Clark County, Washington for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that Seattle, Washington is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award and that Clark County, Washington is the proper forum for trial court proceedings if the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.

21.ARBITRATION

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM CLASSHERO. For any dispute with CLASSHERO, you agree to first contact us at legal@classhero.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that CLASSHERO has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in Seattle, Washington, unless you and CLASSHERO agree otherwise. If you are a School or are using the Service for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Service for non-commercial purposes: (i) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (ii) the award rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney’s fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing CLASSHERO from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, Intellectual Property Rights or other proprietary rights.

22.CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER

WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE SERVICE FOR PERSONAL, COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND CLASSHERO ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.
