Terms & Conditions

1. Acceptance

By using our website or platform you agree to these terms. If you are using the platform on behalf of a school district, you confirm you are authorized to accept them for that district.

2. Relationship to a district agreement

Districts access the platform under a separate written service agreement, which may include a data-privacy agreement. Where that agreement and these terms conflict, the signed agreement controls.

3. Your account and access

District staff access the platform through their own credentials and are responsible for keeping them secure and for activity under their account. Districts are responsible for granting and revoking staff access as roles change.

4. Acceptable use

You agree to use the platform only for lawful district business.

5. Data ownership

The district owns all data it and its families submit. We claim no ownership of district data and use it only to deliver and support the service, as described in our Privacy Policy and your data-privacy agreement.

6. Our intellectual property

The platform, the website, our software, and our brand — including the Back to School Forms name and logo — remain our property. Nothing in these terms transfers those rights to you.

7. Fees

Fees, terms, and enrollment tiers are set out in your service agreement or order form. Published pricing on our website is indicative and subject to that agreement.

8. Availability and support

We work to keep the platform available and monitored, with particular attention to district enrollment windows, and we provide the support described in your plan. We do not guarantee uninterrupted service, and we may perform maintenance with reasonable notice.

9. Third-party services

The platform may work alongside third-party services your district already runs, such as identity providers or your student information system. Those services are governed by your agreements with their providers, not by these terms.

10. Disclaimers

The platform helps districts collect and organize information; it does not make eligibility determinations, legal judgments, or reporting decisions for your district. Your team remains responsible for the accuracy of what it submits to your state and for compliance with program rules.

Except as stated in a signed agreement, the platform is provided without warranties of any kind, to the extent permitted by law.

11. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, and except as otherwise stated in a signed agreement, neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, and our total liability is limited to the fees paid for the service in the twelve months preceding the claim.

12. Termination

Either party may end a district agreement as that agreement provides. On termination we return or delete district data on the district’s instruction, and provisions on data ownership, privacy, and liability survive.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms and will change the date at the top of this page. Material changes affecting districts under agreement will be communicated directly.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the state in which Back to School Forms is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. [Confirm governing state and venue with counsel.]
