5. Child User

If you are under the age of 18 (a “Child User“), you may not create or register an account for the Services without consent and approval from your legal parent or guardian, or from your school as provided in Section 6 (School Use).  If you are under the age of 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to the Terms on your behalf. Except for accounts created for School Use as provided in Section 6 (School Use), a Child User that begins the registration process for himself or herself without a Parent User (as defined below) may have the registration process restricted until a parent approves or assumes responsibility for the Child User account.  A Child User may use the Services if registered through certain educational organizations or, in certain cases, by School Personnel that have entered into a relationship directly with HACKTECH, so long as the education organization has obtained parent or guardian consent, or has complied with an exemption to parent consent requirements under applicable law. A Child User will only be permitted to use the Services for so long as HACKTECH reasonably believes that such access has been consented to by the Child User’s parent or guardian, or by School Consent (as discussed in Section 6, “School Use”).

6. Parent User

If you are at least 18 years of age and you are the legal parent or guardian of a child that seeks to register as a Child User of the Services, you may register a parent account on the Services (“Parent User”).  Through a Parent User account, you may create, register, manage and approve Child User accounts only for your own child(ren) or child(ren) for whom you are a legal guardian.  IF YOU REGISTER, APPROVE OR CONSENT TO THE REGISTRATION OF, OR OTHERWISE ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY CHILD USER, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE SUCH CHILD USER’S LEGAL PARENT OR GUARDIAN AND YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS ON BEHALF OF SUCH CHILD USER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION BEING LIABLE FOR ALL USE OF THE WEBSITE BY THE CHILD USER.  You acknowledge that HACKTECH may choose, but is not obligated, to make any inquiries, either directly or through third parties, that HACKTECH deems necessary to validate your registration information, including without limitation engaging third parties to provide verification services.  HACKTECH reserves all rights to take legal actions against anyone who misrepresents personal information or is otherwise untruthful about their identity. NOT WITH STANDING THE FOREGOING, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HACKTECH CANNOT GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY OF ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY ANY USER AND HACKTECH IS NOT OBLIGATED TO VERIFY THE IDENTITY OF ANY USER, INCLUDING ANY USER’S CLAIM TO BE A PARENT USER, OR TO VERIFY THAT A PARENT IDENTIFIED BY A CHILD USER OR OTHER PARTY DURING REGISTRATION IS SUCH CHILD USER’S ACTUAL PARENT OR GUARDIAN.  A Parent User account, along with all associated Child User accounts, may be terminated by HACKTECH at any time and without warning for any failure to abide by these Terms.

7. School Use

HACKTECH may make available certain features and tools that permit Users registered as teachers, school leaders, aides, or other similar school personnel (“School Personnel“) to work with students and other Users through the Services in order to provide such students with tutorial, educational and other education-related services as part of the school’s curriculum, and to review and evaluate educational achievement and progress of such students.  If you are School Personnel accessing the Services on behalf of a school, school district, or other similar educational institution (an “Institution“), the following terms apply to you:

7.1 Limitations on Use

  The Services and Website are provided to you for educational purposes as part of the school curriculum.  You must use the Services and the Website in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.  You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or otherwise exploit for any commercial purpose, any portion of the Services, the Website, or access to the Services or Website.

7.2 Responsibility for Consent and Notices

  You and/or the Institution assume sole responsibility for obtaining any consents required from parents or guardians, and for providing appropriate disclosures to School Users and their parents regarding the School Users’ use of the Services, our Terms, and our Privacy Policy.  You agree to be bound by these Terms on behalf of the School User, for so long as the School User account is not transferred to or assumed by a valid Parent User account or personal account for a Student of eligible age.  IF YOU ARE SCHOOL PERSONNEL AND YOU REGISTER AN ACCOUNT FOR A CHILD USER OR OTHER STUDENT (EITHER, A “SCHOOL USER”) OR DIRECT A SCHOOL USER TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT FOR SCHOOL USE, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE EITHER RECEIVED EXPRESS CONSENT FROM SUCH SCHOOL USER’S PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN OR THAT YOU (OR YOUR INSTITUTION) HAVE COMPLIED AND WILL COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF AN EXEMPTION FROM OR EXCEPTION TO PARENTAL CONSENT REQUIREMENTS, NECESSARY FOR YOU TO REGISTER THE SCHOOL USER FOR THE WEBSITE AND PROVIDE TO HACKTECH. THE INFORMATION YOU DISCLOSE IN CONNECTION WITH THE REGISTRATION OF SUCH SCHOOL USER.  Specifically you agree, individually and on behalf of the Institution, that:

  1. (i) You are familiar with and agree to be responsible for compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and the US Department of Education’s implementing regulations at 34 CFR Part 99 (collectively, “FERPA“), and all other laws, rules or regulations concerning the collection, use, and disclosure of personally identifiable information about Users in your Institution (collectively, “Applicable Privacy Law“).
  2. (ii) You assume sole responsibility (and hereby agree that HACKTECH is not responsible for) for providing appropriate notices and disclosures to students using HACKTECH for classroom use (“Students” or “Student Users“) and their parents regarding Student use of the Website, our Terms, and our Privacy Policy, including any notices required by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA“), FERPA, or other Applicable Privacy Law.
  3. (iii) You assume sole responsibility (and hereby agree that HACKTECH is not responsible) for obtaining any consents required from parents or guardians, to the extent required under COPPA, FERPA or other Applicable Privacy Law, in connection with the Services, use of the Website for classroom use (including use of Linked Accounts referred to in Section 8, “Linked Accounts”), and disclosure of personally identifiable information to HACKTECH in connection therewith.  You represent and warrant to HACKTECH that, prior to creation of accounts for School Use, you have either obtained all necessary parent or guardian consents, or have complied and will comply with all applicable requirements of an exemption from or exception to parental consent requirements, including:
  4. under FERPA, you have complied and will comply with the “school official” exception, or the “directory information” exception thereunder; and
  5. under COPPA, with respect to Students under the age of 18, you are acting as the agent of the parent and consenting on their behalf to the sharing of the Student’s personal information.

We refer to this as “School Consent“.  If a Parent User does not consent or rescinds such School Consent, School Personnel or the Institution shall immediately notify HACKTECH to discontinue that Student’s access to the Services and ensure that such Student’s information is no longer accessible through the Services.  Under no circumstances will HACKTECH be liable for the School Personnel’s failure to consult their school’s authorities and administrators or for failing to obtain School Consent when required.

7.3 Identification of School Accounts

Students and School Personnel may have personal accounts, in addition to accounts established for use in the classroom and associated with the Institution’s use of the Services (“School Accounts“). If the Institution has a separate written service agreement with HACKTECH that includes rostering services for your Institution, accounts provided for classroom use will be School Accounts.  In other cases, in order for accounts established for use in the classroom to be designated as “School Accounts,” the accounts must be (1) created by School Personnel (for example, when a teacher creates the user name, login and password to establish School Accounts, or when the teacher rosters a class using Google Classroom, Clever, or similar Integrated Service (to the extent we support use of such Integrated Service)), or (2) created by a School User at the direction of a School, in each case, using a School email address and associated with a School’s class on the Service. User accounts created with a personal email address will not be considered School Accounts, and will be administered as personal accounts.  If you have questions about how to create School Accounts that are associated with a School’s class on the Service, please contact our customer support team.

7.4 Use of Integrated Services in School Accounts

If you are School Personnel and you choose to allow your students to log in on the Services using an Integrated Service, such as Google Classroom or Clever (to the extent we support use of such Integrated Service), you are responsible for educating your students on the proper use of Integrated Services and protecting their accounts. See Section 4 (Integrated service)

 

8. Linked Accounts

HACKTECH may permit a User to associate a personal account with their School Account, by using the login credentials associated with a personal account to join a class or use the account for school-directed learning.  If a User chooses to associate a personal account with their School Account, the two accounts will be deemed “Linked” Accounts, and the User’s learning activity (information regarding use of the Website generated by the User through use of the Website), whether generated during or outside of the school use, may be viewed by any person with access to either account.  “Linked” Accounts are not separately functioning accounts; they permit access to a singular HACKTECH account using more than one account interface or set of access credentials.  Linked Accounts may benefit Students who want to use the Website for both personal and school purposes, by allowing School Personnel to have a deeper understanding of Student progress, and by allowing Users to keep track of all of their HACKTECH learning activity on an aggregate basis.  The User’s election to enable account linking must be made, if at all, in connection with the initial account registration and rostering process for a given school year.  Once accounts are linked, they cannot be separated.  HACKTECH may (but is not required to) enable linking of accounts as described herein.  Upon any termination of the School Account by authorized School Personnel, the User’s learning activity (including any learning activity from school use) will be retained in any Linked personal account.
