Terms of Service
Last Updated May 16th, 2022
The following terms and conditions of service (“Terms of Service” or “Terms”), define the relationship between Classwork Co (doing business as Classkick (“Company,” “Classkick,” “our,” “we,” or “us”)) and you.
Agreeing to our Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are entered into by and between Classwork Co. d/b/a Classkick, its subsidiaries, divisions, and affiliates (collectively, “Classkick,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and the entity or person agreeing to the Terms (“you” or “your”). The Terms govern your access to and use of any website, mobile website, social media site, software, mobile application, email exchange of information, and any other digital platform, including any services, features, pages, and functions contained or offered therein (collectively, the “Service”) owned, operated, or provided by Classkick.
These Terms are effective when you click to accept them, and the date you accept these Terms is the Effective Date of the Terms. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of another entity or person (each an “End User”), you represent and warrant that (i) you have full legal authority to bind the End User to these Terms; (ii) you have read and understand these Terms; and (iii) you agree, on behalf of the End User, to these Terms. Note that minors may only use the Service as End Users, as students cannot create an account by themselves and must be invited to Classkick.
Accordingly, if you are under the age of 18, you may not use the Service without (i) the consent of a parent, legal guardian, or School Personnel or Institution, who must read, understand, and agree to these Terms on your behalf; and (ii) an invitation to access or use the Service from an Institution or School Personnel, as defined in Section 1.5
1. Provision of the Service
1.1 Service Use
In addition to these Terms, you are also subject to Classkick’s Privacy Policy and any posted guidelines, policies, or rules applicable to specific features of the Service, which may be posted from time to time (collectively the “Guidelines”). By using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms, the Guidelines, our Privacy Policy, and any modifications made to the Terms, Guidelines, or Privacy Policy. If you agree with all of the foregoing, you may access and use the Service that you select through the applicable registration process, and the Service shall be available for your personal, noncommercial use. Note, however, that the right to access and use the Service is revoked in jurisdictions where it may be prohibited, if any. Moreover, if you do not agree with any of the foregoing, you are not permitted to access or otherwise use the Service. Additionally, if you are using the Service on behalf of an institution that has a separate written agreement with Classkick, the separate written agreement shall govern your use of the Service, unless otherwise stated in the separate written agreement.
1.2 Modifications
(a) To the Service. Classkick is constantly improving its Service. As such, Classkick may make commercially reasonable changes to the Service from time to time. These changes may include, but are not limited to, the addition or removal of certain functionalities or features of the Service.
(b) To the Terms. Classkick may also change, update, add, or remove provisions of these Terms at any time. If Classkick makes a material change to these Terms, Classkick will inform you of the change via email. If the change has a material adverse impact on you and you are not agreeable to the change, you must so notify Classkick in writing within fourteen days after receiving notice of the change. If you notify Classkick as required, then you will remain governed by the Terms in effect before the change until the end of the then-current school year or subscription term. If the Service is renewed and you continue to use the Service after such a change is made, the Service will be renewed under Classkick’s then-current Terms or by agreement of the parties. Classkick will not change how Education Records, as defined in Section 5, are used or shared under these Terms without advance notice and consent from the appropriate Institution or School Personnel, as defined in Section 1.5.

(a) Ownership and License of User Content. Some features of the Service may now or in the future allow you to provide content that may be visible to certain other users or used by Classkick in connection to the Service, including without limitation any photos, videos, graphics, sounds, lessons, educational materials and other content that you submit, upload, post, send, or otherwise make available on or through the Service (collectively, “User Content”). Classkick does not claim any exclusive ownership right in User Content. However, by using the Service, you hereby grant to Classkick a non-exclusive, sublicensable, worldwide, royalty-free, and transferable right and license to (i) use, copy, store, distribute, publicly perform and display, modify, reproduce, process, modify, adapt, prepare derivative works of, publish, transmit, distribute, and otherwise use your User Content, or any portion thereof, in any form, medium or distribution method now known or hereafter existing and as necessary to provide, improve, and make the Service available to you and other users through any media in which the Service may be distributed; (ii) use and disclose metrics and analytics regarding the User Content in an aggregate or other non-personally identifiable manner, including for use in improving our Service or in marketing and business development purposes; (iii) use any User Content, including any Education Records, that has been de-identified for any product development, research, or other purpose; and (iv) use for other purposes permitted by our Privacy Policy. You further represent and warrant that you own all rights in the User Content, including the rights necessary for you to grant us the foregoing licenses to such content. Unless otherwise explicitly stated herein or in our Privacy Policy, you also understand and agree that User Content is provided on a non-confidential basis and Classkick does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect to User Content.
(b) User Obligations. All information posted or transmitted through the Service is the responsibility of the person that posted it, and we will not be liable for any errors or omissions in any content. Classkick cannot guarantee the identity of any other users with whom you may interact while using the Service, or the authenticity of any data which users may provide about themselves. You acknowledge that all content accessed by you using the Service is accessed by you at your own risk and that you will be solely responsible for any damage or loss to any party resulting therefrom. You further agree that you will not upload, post, send, or otherwise make available on the Service any material that is protected by copyright, trademark or any other intellectual property or other proprietary right without the express permission of the owner of such copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property or other proprietary right. You agree that the burden of determining whether any material is protected by any such right is on you. Additionally, you agree to pay for all royalties, fees, damages, and any other monies owing to any person or entity by reason of any User Content posted by you to or through the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, you are only permitted to make User Content that is consistent with the educational purposes for which Classkick makes the Service available, and you shall be solely liable for any and all claims, damage, and loss resulting from any infringement or misappropriation of copyrights, trademarks, or other proprietary rights, violation of contract, privacy, or publicity rights, or any other harm resulting from any User Content that you make. You also agree that your User Content complies with all applicable laws. Classkick does not guarantee that we will publish any of your User Content, and we reserve the right to remove such content from the Service at any time for any reason, including upon notice that User Content infringes upon another entity or individual’s intellectual property rights.
(c ) Termination of License. Any licenses to specific User Content, such as an image or video, granted to us by you in accordance with Section 1.3(a) of these Terms will terminate when you delete that User Content or delete your entire account, unless such content has been shared with other users who have not deleted it. Note that any User Content that may be in or related to messages sent through Classkick may be kept after you delete your account, as would any data related to User Content that has otherwise been aggregated, anonymized, or otherwise segregated from your identity. When you User Content, it is deleted in a manner like emptying the recycle or trash bin on a computer, and you understand that any removed User Content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time associated with our routine operations of our computing and backup systems.
1.4 Feedback
Classkick appreciates communications, comments, questions, suggestions, or related materials that you send or transmit to Classkick (collectively, “Feedback”).

Accordingly, if you send or transmit any Feedback to Classkick, including without limitation Feedback regarding new features or Service functionality, all such Feedback is, and will be treated as, non-confidential and non-proprietary, and you hereby assign all right, title, and interest in the Feedback, and agree that your Feedback to Classkick is free for Classkick to use, without any attribution or compensation to you, as well as any ideas, know-how, concepts, techniques, or other intellectual property and proprietary rights contained in the Feedback, whether patentable or not, for any purpose whatsoever, including but not limited to developing, manufacturing, licensing, marketing, and selling, directly or indirectly, products and services using such Feedback. You understand and agree that Classkick is not obligated to use, display, reproduce, or distribute any such ideas, know-how, concepts, or techniques contained in the Feedback, and you have no right to compel such use, display, reproduction, or distribution of such Feedback. Note that these Terms governing Feedback are separate from the portions of our Terms governing User Content, and if there is any question as to whether specific content is Feedback or User Content, then the terms regarding Feedback shall govern.
1.5 Terms for School Personnel and Institutions
If you are a teacher, school leader, aide, or other similar personnel (“School Personnel”) accessing the Service on behalf of a school, school district, or other similar educational institution (each an "Institution"), and will use the Service as a classroom tool, you represent, warrant, and agree that you have the authority to use the Service as a classroom tool and that you are acting on behalf of or have permission from your Institution to agree to these Terms and to use the Service as part of your curriculum.
(b) COPPA and Parental Consent. If you allow students under the age of 13 to use the Service, you consent to the collection and use of personal information of such students as required under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), as described in our COPPA Privacy Policy and COPPA Notice, to the extent COPPA is applicable in your jurisdiction. Before using the Service, you further agree to obtain verifiable parental consent and make these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our COPPA Notice available to parents or legal guardians to ensure they agree to your use of the Service. If we learn that you have not obtained parental consent or notified parents about your use of the Service, you will not be permitted to use the Service. Classkick requires that parents be informed of and consent to any School Personnel or Institution’s use of the Service; therefore, as a condition of using our Service in your classroom, you must disseminate necessary information regarding consent to the parents and legal guardians of potential student users, confirm receipt of valid consent for each child before granting the student access to the Service, and retain any related consent forms on file. If a parent or legal guardian does not consent or rescinds any consent given by you to Classkick, you shall immediately notify Classkick to discontinue that student’s access to the Service and ensure that such student’s information is no longer accessible through the Service.
(c ) Student Invitations. Once you complete the registration process, the Service may enable you to send invitations to your students via email, inviting such students to register to use the Service. You agree that you will not use the Service with any children under 13 years old, unless you have the lawful authority to consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information from such children.
(d) Institution Employment. Only School Personnel who are current employees of an Institution may use the Service on the Institution’s behalf. Immediately prior to, or upon, termination of a School Personnel's employment with an Institution, such School Personnel must return and cease using all login details and student access credentials. If at any time you learn a user of the Service claims to be affiliated with your Institution who is not, in fact, affiliated with your Institution, you must notify Classkick immediately. You must immediately cease using the Service when you are no longer actively employed as School Personnel, unless you re-register with Classkick to teach new students at a different Institution in accordance with these Terms.
(e) Non-mandatory Use of the Service. You may not require any students to register to use the Service. Students must be free to determine whether they wish to use the Service.
(f) Student Helpers. If School Personnel utilizes the Student Helpers feature in Classkick, other students may view the drawings, text, images, audio, or links added by other students in Classkick. School Personnel may share their classes, including student work and feedback provided, with other School Personnel in their school. If School Personnel chooses to display Classkick through projecting to a whiteboard, for example, students physically present in that classroom may see other students’ names, work, and feedback. School Personnel can choose not to utilize Classkick in any of these ways.
(g) Termination of School Personnel Accounts. Unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, Classkick may terminate a School Personnel’s account at any time and without warning for any failure to comply with these Terms.
1.6 Terms for Students
(a) Student Access and Use of the Service. Students may not access or use the Service unless a parent, legal guardian, or Institution consents to such use or access and the student is invited or given access to the Service by School Personnel who is authorized to give that student access to the Service. Additionally, students may only use the Service for personal educational purposes. If Classkick discovers or becomes aware that a student is using the Service for any illegal or other inappropriate purpose, such as cyberbullying, Classkick will notify the student’s Institution about such misconduct and may terminate a student’s access to the Service at any time, for any reason, and without warning, after such notice. School Personnel may also review student activities using features of the Service, such as the teacher dashboard. If a student or a student’s parent or legal guardian no longer wishes to use the Service or does not agree to these Terms, or if a student is no longer permitted to use the Service for any reason, then the student must immediately stop using the Service.
(b) Student Information. Classkick requests only minimal personal information to be provided from students to access the Service: class code, username, first name, last name, email address, and password. As further explained in our Privacy Policy, this information is only collected when a student’s Institution or School Personnel purchases a Classkick Pro Membership. Other than what we request from students when they sign up for the Service or as directed by School Personnel, students may not provide any personal information about themselves to us.
1.7 Terms for Parents
If you are a parent or legal guardian of a student that has been invited to create an account on the Service or is given access to the Service by School Personnel, your consent must be given in order for a student to use the Service. If you are the parent or legal guardian of a child who has created an account with us and you did not receive a notification seeking your consent from your child’s School Personnel or Institution, you can email us at support@classkick.com to have that child’s account deleted, review the information we have collected about your student, or to otherwise communicate with us or address any questions or concerns you may have about our Service. Please note that if you contact us, we will ask that you verify your identity as a student’s parent before providing you with any information about your student, in accordance with applicable law. In addition, if you, as a parent or legal guardian, provide an email to School Personnel when such personnel or your student’s Institution is obtaining your consent, we may send an email asking you to verify your child’s account, but you will not receive any other emails unless you have opted-in to email marketing or have separately created an account on our Service. Note that information collected from students, including personal information and information collected automatically, is never used or disclosed for third-party advertising or any kind of first or third-party behaviorally-targeted advertising, and personal information is never sold or rented to anyone, including marketers or advertisers. If you do use the Service as a parent or legal guardian, you agree that Classkick may send you messages, alerts, and other communications through the Service, including via email, web alert, transactional text messages, push notifications and other similar means, in accordance with the preferences you set through the Service, and you agree to accept such messages, and pay any applicable network access, data usage, or similar fees.
2. Fees and Payment
Classkick does not currently charge any fee to register to open a free account for Service, although Classkick may change to a paid Service at any time and discontinue free Services. Classkick may require you to submit payment information in the future, and you may be required to pay fees to use certain features or content made available through the Service, such as Classkick Pro. Classkick will either deduct payment from your credit or debit card, or invoice you for all chargeable aspects of the Service. Timely payment must be made for access to the Service, or Service may be promptly suspended by Classkick. Upon notice to you, Classkick may in its sole discretion introduce new fees or change existing fees for use of all or any portion(s) of the Service at any time. However, Classkick will never apply any new or higher fees to you retroactively. Notice will be sent to you by email associated with any new fees or payment for the Service. If you continue to use the Service after such notice, your use shall constitute your consent to and acceptance of the new or increased charges. These Terms do not include the provision by Classkick of any upgrades, updates, consulting services, customization or training. Such additional services may be available through separate agreements with Classkick.
2.1 Automatic Renewal and Cancellation of Classkick Pro Membership
(a) Automatic Renewal. If you purchase a membership to Classkick Pro (“Paid Membership”), you acknowledge and agree that YOUR PAID MEMBERSHIP WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW ON A MONTHLY OR YEARLY BASIS, DEPENDING ON WHETHER YOU SELECT A MONTHLY OR YEARLY PAID MEMBERSHIP PLAN, UNLESS YOU OR WE COMMUNICATE OTHERWISE PRIOR TO THE END OF THE RENEWAL TERM.
YOUR PAID MEMBERSHIP WILL ALSO CONTINUE INDEFINITELY UNTIL TERMINATED BY YOU OR US IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE TERMS.
(b) Payment of Membership Fees. You further acknowledge and agree that your Paid Membership has an initial and recurring fee (“Membership Fee”), which shall be determined by the quote accepted by and provided to you when you purchase a Paid Membership. By agreeing to pay this Membership Fee, you accept responsibility for, and agree to pay, all Membership Fees prior to cancellation of your Paid Membership. You affirmatively and expressly authorize us to process an invoice when your Paid Membership begins, and then again at the beginning of any subsequent renewal term. If your payment details change, your card provider may provide us with the updated payment details, and we reserve the right to use these updated details for future charges in order to help prevent any interruption to the delivery of Service.
Upon renewal of your Paid Membership, if Classkick does not receive payment from your payment provider, or your debit or credit card declines, (a) you agree to pay all amounts due on your account upon demand, and (b) you agree that Classkick may either terminate or suspend your account and Paid Membership and continue to attempt to charge you until payment is received (upon receipt of payment, your account will be re-activated, and for purposes of automatic renewal, your new Paid Membership renewal term will begin as of the day payment was received).
(c ) Modifications to Price or Renewal Terms. If the price to renew your Paid Membership increases, or any terms regarding the automatic renewal of your Paid Membership changes, Classkick will notify you of any such increase or change in writing at least 60 days prior to the commencement of the next renewal term to or in which the increase or change applies.
(d) Cancellation Procedures. YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR PAID MEMBERSHIP BEFORE IT RENEWS TO AVOID INCURRING A MEMBERSHIP FEE FOR THE NEXT RENEWAL TERM. You will not receive a refund for any partial-term cancellation, but you may cancel a yearly Paid Membership within thirty (30) days of beginning your Paid Membership to be eligible for a refund. If you individually purchase a yearly Paid Membership, and your school later upgrades to a Paid Membership, you may also be eligible to cancel your individual Paid Membership for a prorated refund of up to $50.
TO CANCEL OR REQUEST A REFUND OF YOUR PAID MEMBERSHIP, OR TO OPT OUT OF AUTOMATIC RENEWAL, PLEASE EMAIL PRO@CLASSKICK.COM. IF YOU ARE CANCELLING OR REQUESTING A REFUND OF YOUR PAID MEMBERSHIP, PLEASE ALSO PROVIDE THE COMPLETE ACCOUNT AND SCHOOL INFORMATION IN YOUR CORRESPONDENCE.

16.10 Agreement to Arbitrate all Claims on an Individualized Basis & Governing Law
You and Classkick agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Classkick that relate in any way to your use or access to the Service, the actions of Classkick or its agents, or any products or services sold, offered, or purchased shall be resolved through confidential, final and binding arbitration rather than in court, with the exception of any dispute relating to the enforcement or validity of intellectual property rights. The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate.
If a dispute arises between you and Classkick, we want to learn about and address your concerns and, if we are unable to do so to your satisfaction, to provide you with a neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Please contact us regarding disputes between you and Classkick related to the Service.
UNLESS YOU AND CLASSKICK AGREE OTHERWISE, EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. ALSO, TO THE EXTENT AVAILABLE BY LAW, AND SUBJECT TO THE DAMAGE LIMITATIONS DISCUSSED HEREIN, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY IN FAVOR, AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF, THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF.
If a court decides that any part of this agreement to arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Section shall still apply. Specifically, if a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim or a particular request for a remedy (such as a request for public injunctive relief), then that claim or that remedy request (and only that claim or that remedy request) may be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court, subject to your and Classkick’s right to appeal the court’s decision. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (as applicable), as modified by this Section. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA’s website at http://www.adr.org.
The arbitration shall be held in New York, New York or at another mutually agreed location.
The arbitrator’s award shall be confidential, final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.
You agree that the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and Classkick.
To the extent permitted by law, and without limiting the effect of any disclaimer contained herein, any cause of action or claim you may have with respect to your use of the Services must be commenced within one year after the claim or cause of action arises.
16.11 Survival
Any provisions that, by their nature, are intended to survive shall survive any termination of these Terms. These include, but are not limited to, those Terms regarding representations made by you, disclaimers of warranties, proprietary or intellectual property rights, indemnities, limitations of liability, and the miscellaneous provisions outlined in Section 16.
16.12 Entire Agreement
These Terms set out all terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties and terminate and supersede any and all other agreements between the parties relating to their subject matter, including any prior versions of these Terms. In agreeing to these Terms, neither party has relied on, and neither party will have any right or remedy based on, any statement, representation, or warranty (whether made negligently or innocently), except those expressly stated in these Terms.
16.13 Headers
Headings and captions used in these Terms are for reference purposes only and will not have any effect on the interpretation of these Terms.
