Terms of Service

IMPORTANT–PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. These Terms are an agreement between you and Class Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation. References to “us“, “we“, “our“, and “Class” shall mean Class Technologies, Inc.

These Terms govern your access to and use of Class software and/or services (individually or collectively, the “Platform“) and any information, content, text, graphics, photos, or other materials uploaded, downloaded, purchased, or appearing on or through the Platform (collectively referred to as “Content“).  These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access and use the Class Website and Class Platform (“Users“).

By accessing or using this Website and the Platform you agree to be bound by these Terms.

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms supersedes or limits your rights under (1) the terms and conditions of any written agreement you or your licensing institution have entered into with Class regarding the use of the Platform, or (2) applicable laws or regulations to the extent these Terms are prohibited by such laws or regulations. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the terms and conditions of an applicable written agreement you or your institution have entered into with Class, the terms and conditions of the written agreement shall control.

1. Basic terms & accounts

You are responsible for your use of the Platform. You may use the Platform only if you can form a binding contract with Class. Your account with Class (and use of the Platform) gives you access to the services and functionality that we provide in our sole discretion. If you are accepting these Terms and using the Platform on behalf of a company, organization, government, or other legal entity, then (a) “you” includes you and that entity, and (b) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to these Terms, and that you agree to these Terms on the entity’s behalf. You may use the Platform only in compliance with these Terms, any agreement entered into by your institution relating to the Platform, and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations.

In cases where you have authorized or registered another individual, including a minor, to use your account(s), you are fully responsible for (i) the online conduct of such User; (ii) controlling the User’s access to and use of the Platform; and (iii) the consequences of any misuse. Class requires that the parents, guardian, or other authorized adult or educational institution of a minor affirmatively consent to the use of a Class Platform by such minor. Class reserves the right to provide access to the minor’s account to the minor’s parents, guardian or other authorized adult or educational institution, upon such adult’s request. For additional information on how we use your information, please see our Privacy Policy.

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Users. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Users. Class shall have no liability for your interactions with other Users, nor for any User’s acts or omissions.

2. Privacy & use of personal information

Any information that you provide to Class, including first name, last name, email address, and any other information including personal information you have provided, may provide, or may be collected by us in connection with your use of the Platform (“Your Information”), will be collected, maintained and used in order to provide the Platform to you or your institution, or in accordance with these Terms, our privacy policy, any additional terms applicable to an individual Platform, and any agreement entered into by your institution relating to the Platform. You understand that, through your use of the Platform, you consent to the collection and use (as set forth in these Terms, the Class Privacy Policy and any agreement entered into by your institution relating to the Platform) of Your Information for storage, hosting, processing, and use by Class.

For the avoidance of doubt, personal information that includes Student Data (defined below) provided to Class through the use of this Platform is governed by the terms of the agreement between Class and the educational institution relevant to your use of the Platform. As between Class and you, you and/or the educational institution own all right, title and interest to all Student Data you provide or otherwise make available to us, and we do not own, control, or license such Student Data, except so as to provide the Platform to you and to the educational institution that provides the Platform and controls Student Data from the educational records, if applicable, and as described herein. “Student Data” is any information (in any format) that is directly related to an identifiable current or former student that is maintained by a school, school district, or related entity or organization, or by us, as part of the provision of the Platform. Student Data may include “educational records” as defined by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”), 20 U.S.C. § 1232(g). Class agrees to treat Student Data as confidential and not to share it with third parties other than as described in Class’s agreement with the educational institution.

You may use mobile data in connection with the Mobile Software and may incur additional charges from your wireless provider for these services. You agree that you are solely responsible for any such charges. Class hereby grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use a compiled code copy of the Mobile Software for one account on one mobile device owned or leased solely by you, for your personal use.

Any third-party code that may be incorporated in the Mobile Software is covered by the applicable open source or third-party license EULA, if any, authorizing use of such code. The foregoing license grant is not a sale of the Mobile Software or any copy thereof, and Class or its third-party partners or suppliers retain all right, title, and interest in the Mobile Software (and any copy thereof). Any attempt by you to transfer any of the rights, duties, or obligations hereunder, except as expressly provided for in these Terms, is void. Class reserves all rights not expressly granted under these Terms. The Mobile Software originates in the United States and is subject to United States export laws and regulations. The Mobile Software may not be exported or re-exported to certain countries, or those persons or entities prohibited from receiving exports from the United States.

You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App Store-Sourced Software.

You and Class acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as relates to your license of the App Store-Sourced Software, and that, upon your acceptance of the Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms as relates to your license of the App Store-Sourced Software against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

9. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your accounts or cease providing you with all or part of the Platform at any time for any reason, including, but not limited to, if we reasonably believe: (i) you have violated these Terms, (ii) you create risk or possible legal exposure for us; or (iii) our provision of the Platform is no longer commercially viable. In such a termination event, the license granted hereunder shall automatically terminate. In all such cases, the Terms shall terminate, including, without limitation, your license to use the Platform, except that the following Sections shall continue to apply: 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11.

Each of the Subsections below only applies up to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. Nothing in this Section is intended to limit any rights you may have which may not be lawfully limited.

A. The Platform is available “AS-IS”

Your access to and use of the Platform or any Content are at your own risk. You understand and agree that the Platform are provided to you on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. Without limiting the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, CLASS ENTITIES DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from any of the Class Entities or through the Platform will create any warranty not expressly made herein.

B. HIPAA disclaimer

Unless so indicated on your licensing institutions Agreement with Class, Class does not warrant or provide any assurances that your use of the Platform will comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended (“HIPAA”). Unless your licensing institution has a license for the Class HIPAA Platform, you agree that you will not provide Class with any protected health information (as that term is defined under HIPAA) and that Class is therefore not deemed to be a business associate of you and/or your institution for purposes of compliance with HIPAA.

C. Third-party links and resources

The Platform may contain links to third-party websites or resources. You acknowledge and agree that the Class Entities are not responsible or liable for: (i) the availability or accuracy of such websites or resources; or (ii) the content, Platform, or services on or available from such websites or resources.

D. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE CLASS ENTITIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOOD-WILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM (i) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM; (ii) ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY USER OR OTHER THIRD PARTY ON, THROUGH, OR ASSOCIATED WITH THE PLATFORM, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF OTHER USERS OR THIRD PARTIES; (iii) ANY CONTENT OBTAINED FROM THE PLATFORM; OR (iv) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR CONTENT.

THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS SUBSECTION SHALL APPLY TO ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, STATUTE, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE CLASS ENTITIES HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGE, AND EVEN IF A REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

FEDERAL LAW, SOME STATES, PROVINCES, AND OTHER JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION AND LIMITATIONS OF CERTAIN IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THESE TERMS GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. FURTHER, SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY UNDER THESE TERMS WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

E. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Class and its subsidiaries, agents, licensors, managers, and other affiliated companies, and their employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from: (i) your use of and access to a Platform, including any data or content transmitted or received by you; (ii) your violation of any provision of these Terms, including without limitation your breach of any of the representations and warranties above; (iii) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any right of privacy or intellectual property rights; (iv) your violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation; (v) any Content that is submitted via your User Account including without limitation misleading, false, or inaccurate information; (vi) your willful misconduct; or (vii) any other party’s access and use of a Platform with your unique username, password or other appropriate security code.

11. General terms

A. Waiver & severability

The failure of Class to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. In the event that any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect; except that in the event of unenforceability of the universal class action/jury trial waiver set forth in Section 11(B)(iii) below, the entire arbitration agreement shall be unenforceable.

B. Governing law; dispute resolution

(i) Governing Law. These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to or application of its conflict of law provisions or your state or country of residence. All claims, legal proceedings, or litigation arising in connection with the Platform will be brought solely in the federal or state courts located in Washington, D.C., United States, and you consent to the jurisdiction of and venue in such courts and waive any objection as to inconvenient forum.

(ii) 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 CLASS. For any dispute with Class, you agree to first contact us at legal@class.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that Class 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 these Terms, or the breach or alleged breach thereof, 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 Washington, D.C., United States, unless you and Class agree otherwise. If you are using the Platform 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 Platform 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 Class 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.

(iii) Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSON AND ENTITIES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE PLATFORM 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 (1) PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND CLASS 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 RELATING TO THE PLATFORM OR THESE TERMS.

(iv) Limited Applicability of Arbitration and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver. Certain laws, rules, and regulations that may apply to you may not allow you to pre-agree to binding arbitration or waive your rights to join in a representative proceeding or waive your rights to a jury trial. If such laws apply to you, the arbitration requirements set forth in subsection (ii) and/or the class action/jury trial waiver set forth in subsection (iii) do not apply to you.

C. U.S. Government users & U.S. Government restricted rights

Certain of the components that comprise the Platform are “commercial items” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and/or “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212. Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, all U.S. Government end users acquire the Software with only those rights set forth herein.

The Platform, any Mobile Software and all upgrades to the foregoing (if any) are provided with restricted rights. Use, duplication, or disclosure by the U.S. Government is subject to restrictions as set forth in subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software clause at DFARS 252.227-7013 or subparagraphs (c)(1) and (2) of the Commercial Computer Software-Restricted Rights at 48 CFR 52.227-19, as applicable.

D. Entire agreement

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms supersedes or limits your rights under (1) the terms and conditions of any written agreement you have entered into with Class regarding the use of Platform, or (2) applicable laws or regulations to the extent these Terms are prohibited by such laws or regulations. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the terms and conditions of an applicable written agreement you have entered into with Class, the terms and conditions of the written agreement shall control.
