Use of SchoolACE by minors may require consent or authorization from a parent, guardian, school, or other authorized adult, depending on the circumstances and applicable law.

• When we use third-party providers, we generally seek to limit the personal information shared with them to what is reasonably necessary for them to perform services for us.

If you connect a Google account, our use of Google data adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

9. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using SchoolACE at any time. We may suspend, limit, or terminate access if we believe it is reasonably necessary to protect the platform, protect users, comply with law, enforce these Terms, or address misuse, fraud, non-payment, or security issues.

After termination, some provisions of these Terms will continue to apply, including provisions relating to intellectual property, payment obligations, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and any rights to retain de-identified, aggregated, or lawfully retained data.

10. Disclaimers

SchoolACE is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fully secure.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SchoolACE and its affiliates, officers, employees, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenues, goodwill, data, or business opportunities arising out of or related to your use of the service.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for claims arising out of or related to the service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to SchoolACE for the service in the 12 months before the claim arose or (b) $100.

12. Disputes and Governing Law

If you have a dispute or concern with SchoolACE, you agree to contact us first at [email protected] so we can try to resolve it informally.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of laws principles. To the extent permitted by law, any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, and each party consents to personal jurisdiction and venue there. Either party may still bring an eligible claim in small claims court or seek injunctive relief where appropriate.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we may provide notice by updating this page, posting a notice in the product, or using other reasonable means. By continuing to use SchoolACE after the updated Terms take effect, you agree to the revised Terms.

14. General

If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. These Terms, together with any applicable order forms or separate written agreements and our Privacy Policy, form the agreement between you and SchoolACE regarding the service.
