We may periodically make changes to this Agreement our policies that apply to your use of the Services. You are responsible for regularly reviewing this Agreement and any policies that apply to your use of the Services to stay informed of any changes.

Skooler Services, Eligibility and Authority, Set-up; Service Availability; Support.
(a) Services. Skooler provides a Learning Management System designed for Office 365, and also offers other services and related mobile apps (“Mobile Apps”), as further described at https://www.skooler.com/ and other websites where this Agreement is posted (collectively, the “Services”).
(i) Skooler does not sell the Services to children, but only to adults who can purchase the Services with a credit card or other permitted payment method. If you are under eighteen (18) years of age, you may use the Services 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 Services, with which you must comply.
(ii) If you open a Skooler Account (defined below) to provide the Services 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 Skooler to take any action with respect to a Skooler Account, you represent and warrant that you have all necessary authority to request such action(s) from or on behalf of the account-holder.
(b) Account Setup. When you set up an account or have an account set up for you (“Skooler Account”) to use the Services, you will be required to choose a password and user ID, and will be required to provide other registration information (collectively, “Registration Information”). You agree and represent that all Registration Information provided by you is accurate and up-to-date. If any of your Registration Information changes, you must update it in your Skooler Account. If Skooler believes that the Registration Information you provide is not correct, current, or complete, Skooler reserves the right to refuse you access to the Services, and to terminate or suspend your Skooler Account at any time. However, Skooler has no obligation to verify the accuracy, currency, completeness, or usefulness of any Registration Information that you have provided.
(c) Skooler Account Credentials. You understand that you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the username, password and any other authentication credentials for your Skooler Account and those of any users you authorize under your Skooler Account (“Permitted Users”), and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your Skooler Account, including the purchase of any of the Services. You agree (i) to promptly notify Skooler if you suspect any unauthorized use of your Skooler Account (including usernames, passwords or any other authentication credentials) or any other breach of security, (ii) not to share any username, password or any other authentication credentials with any other user or use the username, password or any other authentication credentials of any other user, and (iii) to use particular caution when accessing your Skooler Account from a public or shared computer so that others are not able to view or record your password or other personal information. You acknowledge that Skooler is not responsible for any loss or damage arising from the theft or misappropriation of any username, password or other authentication credentials. Skooler recommends that you use strong passwords for your Skooler Account, never use the same password on multiple sites or services, and change your password frequently. You are directly responsible to Skooler for the conduct, acts and omissions of your Permitted Users and will ensure that your Permitted Users comply with this Agreement.
(d) Service Availability. Skooler will perform and maintain regular database backups according to established Skooler policies. Skooler incorporates database and system maintenance operations and processes designed to address data consistency, indexing, and integrity requirements and help improve system performance. Skooler has implemented and will maintain commercially reasonable business resumption and contingency plans intended to avoid unplanned Services interruptions. Skooler will notify you at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance of planned maintenance services. In the event of an unplanned Services interruption, you may contact Skooler for support. A Service Level Agreement for the Services is available for an additional fee.
(e) Support Services. With respect to Schools, during the term of this Agreement and for so long as you are current with your payment of the applicable Services fees, Skooler will provide you with commercially reasonable Level 2 and 3 technical support services consistent with the support services provided to other subscribers. Support will be provided to designated super users and administrative users who have the necessary technical skills and functional understanding of the Services, and you will be responsible for providing support to your other users. Premium support is available for an additional fee.
(f) Professional Services; Statements of Work for Professional Services; Change Orders. This paragraph applies only to Schools. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Skooler may perform implementation, integration, training or other professional services for you, all of which will be considered Services where applicable under this Agreement. The specific details of the professional services to be performed (including scope of work, fees, payment schedule and timeline) will be determined on a per-project basis, and the details for each project will be described in a Statement of Work for professional services. Each Statement of Work for professional services will constitute a separate work engagement. All changes to a Statement of Work for professional services requested by either party will only be effective upon signing of a mutually agreed change order. If work on a Statement of Work for professional services is materially delayed, postponed, or discontinued by you, Skooler may suspend performance of professional services under such Statement of Work.
This Section 2 applies to a School’s use of the Services.
(i) The fees for the Services are set forth on the Skooler fees page (“Fees Page”) or on an executed Order Form or Statement of Work between you and Skooler, each of which is incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. Fees for the Services may be payable in advance, in arrears, per teacher, per student or as otherwise described on the Fees Page or on an executed Order Form or Statement of Work between us. You agree to pay Skooler the fees indicated for the Services you purchase and for the indicated term (“Subscription Term”) and for any other fees set forth on an executed Order Form or Statement of Work between us. Stated fees do not include any related taxes (including sales and use taxes, duties or other governmental taxes or fees), all of which are your responsibility and will be invoiced to you or charged to your Payment Method in addition to the fees.
(iii) You may upgrade, downgrade or terminate your Subscription Services plan selection at any time. Plan downgrades and terminations will take effect only at the end of your current term and must be made at least 60 days prior to the start of your next renewal Subscription Term. Services upgrades will take effect immediately and you will be charged a prorated fee for the remainder of your current Subscription Term based on the difference in price between your current plan and the upgraded plan.
(b) Payment Method. Skooler may, from time to time, offer various expedited payment methods, including payment by credit card, debit card, or direct debit. If you select such a payment method, or provide such a payment method on an Order Form or Statement of Work, when purchasing the Services (the “Payment Method”), you authorize Skooler to charge you for Services through such Payment Method and agree to make payment using such Payment Method. Skooler may, from time to time, receive and use updated payment method information provided by you or that financial institutions or payment processors may provide to us to update information related to your Payment Method(s), such as updated expiration dates or account numbers. Certain Payment Methods, such as credit cards and debit cards, may involve agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer or other provider of your chosen Payment Methods (the “Payment Method Provider”). If Skooler does not receive payment from your Payment Method Provider, you agree to directly pay all amounts due upon demand from Skooler. Your non-termination or continued use of the Services reaffirms that Skooler is authorized to charge your Payment Method.
(c) Current Information Required. You agree to provide current, complete and accurate billing information and agree to promptly update all such information (such as changes in billing address, credit card number or credit card expiration date) with Skooler as necessary for the issuance of invoices by Skooler and processing of all payments that are due to Skooler. You agree to promptly notify us if your Payment Method is canceled (for example, due to loss or theft) or if you become aware of a potential breach of security related to your Payment Method. If you fail to provide any of the foregoing information, you acknowledge that your current Payment Method may continue to be charged for Services and you remain responsible for all such charges.
(d) Payment Matters. Payment of all invoices is due within 30 days of invoice receipt. If your Payment Method fails or your account is past due, Skooler reserves the right to either suspend or terminate your use of the Services. You agree to submit in writing to Skooler any disputes regarding any fees invoiced to you within 30 days of invoice receipt, or charged to your Payment Method within 60 days of such charge, otherwise such dispute will be waived and such invoices and charges will be final and not subject to challenge. Skooler reserves the right to charge you interest at a rate of 1.5% per month on any overdue amounts, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower. You will also reimburse any reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Skooler to collect any undisputed amount that is not paid when due. All fees and charges are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for any partially used Services except (i) as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Fees Page or an executed Order Form or Statement of Work between us; (ii) as otherwise required by applicable law; or (ii) at our sole and absolute discretion. All prices for Services are subject to change without notice; however, Skooler will use reasonable efforts to notify you at least 30 days before any price increase and fee changes will not take effect until your next renewal.
Certain Customer Responsibilities and Additional Requirements.
(a) Grant of License. As between you and Skooler, and except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, you will own and retain all rights, title, and interest in and to all data, information, text, graphics, images, links, and all other materials submitted by you or on your behalf, or that you allow us to access or upload from your systems, for processing by the Services, as well as any information that Skooler collects directly from your users (collectively, the “User Content”). You hereby grant to Skooler and its suppliers a non-exclusive, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable, and fully paid-up right and license to analyze, process, use, disclose, transfer, publish, display, compile, create derivative works of and otherwise exploit, the User Content for purposes of providing the Services and operating our business, subject to any limitations regarding Student Data (as defined below).
(b) Responsibility and Use of User Content. You are solely responsible (and assume all liability and risk) for determining whether or not User Content is legal, appropriate or acceptable, and whether you have the right to provide, access and use such content and grant to Skooler and its suppliers the right to access and use such content under this Agreement. Skooler will not be responsible for the User Content. Skooler reserves the right at all times, at its discretion and without notice to you, to remove or refuse to store or use any User Content within the Services. Skooler also reserves the right to access, preserve and disclose any information as it reasonably believes is necessary to (i) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request; (ii) enforce this Agreement, including investigation of potential violations hereof; (iii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues; (iv) respond to user support requests; or (v) protect the rights and property of Skooler, its users and the public. You acknowledge that you are responsible for setting access rights and privileges for any of your Permitted Users.

This Section 4 applies to a School’s use of the Services.
(a) Student Data. When Skooler is used by a School for an educational purpose, Skooler may collect or have access to Student Data that is provided by the School or by a student or parent. “Student Data” is personal information that is directly related to an identifiable student. In the U.S., Student Data may include “educational records” as defined by FERPA (defined below).
(c) Use of Student Data. By submitting, providing us access to, or causing us to receive Student Data, you agree that Skooler may use the Student Data for the purposes of (i) providing the Services, (ii) improving and developing our Services, (iii) enforcing our rights under this Agreement, and (iv) as otherwise permitted with the School’s or user’s consent.
(d) Use of De-Identified or Anonymized Student Data. You agree that both before and after the term of this Agreement, Skooler may collect, analyze, use, and retain data derived from Student Data as well as data about users’ access and use of the Services, for the purpose of operating, analyzing, improving or marketing the Services, developing new products or services, conducting research or other purposes, provided that Skooler 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.
(f) Student Data Access and Deletion Requests. Schools 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 Skooler shall not be required to delete Student Data as 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. Skooler 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.
(g) Data Security and Breach Notification. We have implemented administrative, physical and technical safeguards designed to secure the personal information in Skooler’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 Services under this Agreement, we will promptly notify the School. If, due to a Security Event which is caused by the acts or omissions of Skooler or its agents in breach of this Agreement, 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 Skooler shall indemnify the School for reasonable out-of-pocket costs related to legally-required notifications. With respect to any Security Event which is not caused by the acts or omissions of Skooler or its agents in breach of this Agreement, Skooler shall reasonably cooperate with School’s investigation of the Security Event, as School requests, at School’s reasonable expense, but Skooler shall not indemnify a School for costs associated with the Security Event. Skooler 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.
(i) Compliance with Laws. In the U.S., Skooler 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.
(ii) Connecticut-Specific Terms. This Section 4(h)(ii) applies to the use of the Services by Schools located in the State of Connecticut. The purpose of this Section 4(h)(ii) is to document compliance with applicable Connecticut state laws that may apply to the use of the Services by Schools in Connecticut, such as Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 10-234aa-dd. This Section 4(h)(ii) incorporates by reference the definitions set forth in Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 10-234aa.
(A) If you open an Skooler Account to provide the Services to students in a School located in the State of Connecticut, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to do so on behalf of the local or regional board of education with authority over the School and that you are authorized to communicate with Skooler on behalf of the local or regional board of education.
(B) Skooler and you shall comply with all applicable sections of Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 10-234aa-dd. The following terms shall apply as required by Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 10-234bb. To the extent that any such required terms conflict with other terms in this Agreement, the terms of this Section 4(h)(ii) shall apply.
Student information, student records and student-generated content are not the property of or under the control of Skooler.
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 Skooler by sending a request to support@skooler.com. As permitted by Conn. Gen. Stat. Ann. § 10-234bb(2), Skooler 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. Skooler 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.
Skooler will not use student information, student records and student-generated content for any purposes other than those authorized pursuant to this Agreement.
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. Skooler will respond to such requests in accordance with instructions sent by an authorized School representative to support@skooler.com.
Skooler will take actions designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of student information, student records and student-generated content.
Skooler 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.
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 Skooler for the purpose of storing their student-generated content.
Skooler 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.
The laws of the state of Connecticut shall govern the rights and duties hereunder of Skooler and the local or regional board of education.
If any provision of this Section 4(h)(ii) 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.

(a) Definition. “Confidential Information” means non-public business information, know-how, and trade secrets in any form, including information regarding our product plans, security practices and policies, and any other information a reasonable person should understand to be confidential, which is disclosed by or on behalf of either party or its affiliates to the other party or its affiliates, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or by inspection of tangible objects, and whether such information is disclosed before or after the effective date of this Agreement. Confidential Information includes any portion of this Agreement and its terms that is not publicly available on our website. With the exception of Student Data, “Confidential Information” excludes information that (i) is publicly known and made generally available in the public domain prior to the time of disclosure by the disclosing party through no action or inaction of the receiving party; (ii) is already in the possession of the receiving party at the time of disclosure by the disclosing party, as shown by the receiving party’s files and records; or (iii) is obtained by the receiving party from a third party without a breach of the third party’s obligations of confidentiality.

The party receiving Confidential Information hereunder agrees to take reasonable steps, at least substantially equivalent to the steps it takes to protect its own proprietary information, but not less than reasonable care, to prevent the unauthorized duplication or disclosure of the Confidential Information to third parties without the disclosing party’s prior written consent. The receiving party may disclose the disclosing party’s Confidential Information to the receiving party’s employees or agents who reasonably need to have access to such information to perform the receiving party’s obligations under this Agreement, and who will treat such information as Confidential Information under the terms of this Agreement. The receiving party may disclose the disclosing party’s Confidential Information if required by law so long as the receiving party gives the disclosing party written notice of the requirement prior to the disclosure (where permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the disclosing party’s expense, in limiting disclosure or obtaining an order protecting the information from public disclosure.
(c) Return of Materials and Effect of Termination. Upon written request of the disclosing party, or in any event upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, the receiving party will return to the disclosing party or destroy all materials, in any medium, to the extent containing or reflecting any of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information. With respect to your User Content, we will make your User Content available for download at any time upon your request during the term of this Agreement and for a period of 90 days following expiration or termination of this Agreement. Following such 90-day period, we may purge your User Content from our systems. The obligations in this Section 12 survive for three years following expiration or termination of this Agreement, except that Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret of the disclosing party will continue to be subject to the terms of this Section 12 for as long as such information remains a trade secret under applicable law.
