The website located at www.StudentConductor.com (the “Website”) and the services related to the Website are owned by Student Conductor, Inc. (“Student Conductor”). Through the Website, Student Conductor provides subscribers access to and use of an internet-based software service that allows educational institutions to assign, manage, and track students’ tardies, disciplines, hall passes, and fines (the “Services”). Use of the Services constitutes use of the Website.
Before using the Website, please read the following Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms of Use”) carefully. These Terms of Use, together with the Privacy Policy and all other applicable terms and conditions issued by Student Conductor from time to time, which are incorporated herein by reference, constitute a legally binding agreement between Student Conductor and each user of the Website and/or Services (the “Agreement”).
BY USING THE WEBSITE AND/OR THE SERVICES, YOU, AS A WEBSITE VISITOR AND/OR ON BEHALF OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION YOU REPRESENT (THE “INSTITUTION”) AGREE TO FOLLOW AND BE BOUND BY THE AGREEMENT. IF YOU OR YOUR INSTITUTION DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE AGREEMENT, YOU AND/OR YOUR INSTITUTION MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE WEBSITE AND/OR SERVICES.
Website visitors and the Institution may hereinafter be referred to as “you” or “your”.
1. Service Subscription
Access to and use of the Services requires a subscription to the Services. At this time, the Services are only available to educational institutions. To subscribe to the Services, the Institution must set up an account through the Website. During the registration process, the Institution will select identification credentials which will enable the Institution to access the Services, including a user name and password. The Institution is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of its identification credentials and is responsible and liable for all activities (whether by the Institution or by others) that occur under the Institution’s account or by use of the Institution’s identification credentials. For greater certainty, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Institution shall be responsible for any breach or violation of the Agreement caused by any activity under its account.
The Institution agrees to notify Student Conductor immediately of any unauthorized use of the Institution’s account or identification credentials or any other breach of security. Student Conductor disclaims all liability for any loss or damage arising from the Institution’s failure to protect the Institution’s account or identification credentials.
The Institution represents and warrants that all information submitted to Student Conductor through its account is true and accurate. Student Conductor is not liable for any breach of this warranty by the Institution or any user of its account, whether or not such breach is caused intentionally. In the event of a breach of this warranty, and without limitation to any other remedy available to it, Student Conductor may immediately discontinue the Institution’s account and revoke the Institution’s right to access the Services.
2. Subscription Term & Termination
Once the Institution’s initial subscription term ends, the Institution’s subscription will automatically terminate if Student Conductor does not receive payment for access to and use of the Services for the upcoming school year within 30 days of the Institution’s receipt of a cost estimate from Student Conductor. Student Conductor may immediately terminate the Institution’s access to and use of the Services if the Institution (or anyone acting under the Institution’s control or through its account) is in breach of the Agreement. Student Conductor may also terminate the Institution’s access to and use of the Services on 5 days’ notice if for any reason Student Conductor stops providing the Website or Services. Student Conductor may terminate the Institution’s access to and use of the Services for any other reason, but in advance of such termination, Student Conductor will provide the Institution with notice either (a) 30 days in advance of termination, or (b) such period in advance of termination that is equal to the remaining subscription period if the applicable subscription period ends less than 30 days from the date of the notice, whichever period is shorter.
The Institution may terminate this Agreement by contacting Student Conductor at
and expressing its desire to terminate its subscription to the Service. The Institution’s subscription will terminate within 30 days from Student Conductor’s receipt of such termination notice. Pro-rated refunds will not be given. Notwithstanding the right to terminate, the Institution will remain responsible for paying any applicable fees and/or charges pertaining to the remaining portion of the subscription period, and any other fees or charges incurred through the Institution’s access to and use of the Services.
In the event of termination, the Institution is no longer authorized to access or use the Services.
3. Subscription Fees
Institutions are responsible for paying all then-current subscription fees together with all applicable taxes associated with their respective accounts and the Services. Applicable fees may be modified from time to time at Student Conductor’s sole discretion. Subscribed institutions will receive 30 days’ prior notice of any fee modifications. Failure to pay any fee when due is a breach of the Agreement. Except as may be set forth in the Agreement, all fees are non-refundable.
4. Services Support
