The Website IS not available to (A) any Users previously suspended or removed from the Website by SchoolCity OR (B) ANY PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF 13 WHOSE REGISTRATION HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED BY A LEGAL PARENT OR GUARDIAN OR (C) any Users for non-educational purposes. By clicking the "I Agree" button or by otherwise using or registering an account for the Website, You represent (a) that You have not been previously suspended or removed from the Website by SchoolCity, (b) that You are either (i) at least 13 years of age or (ii) Your parent and/or guardian has consented to Your use of the Website; and (c) that Your use of the Website is for educational use only; and (d) that Your registration and use is in compliance with any and all applicable laws and regulations.

You agree that the information You provide to SchoolCity, whether on registration or at any other time, will be true, accurate, current, and complete. You also agree that You will ensure that this information is kept accurate and up-to-date at all times. If You have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure (e.g., in the event of a loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure or use of your account ID, password, or any credit, debit or charge card number, if applicable), then You agree to immediately notify SchoolCity. You may be liable for the losses incurred by SchoolCity or others due to any unauthorized use of your Website account.

Additionally, a Child Member may use the Website if registered through certain educational organizations that have entered into a relationship directly with SchoolCity and through which educational organization the legal parent and/or guardian of such Child Member has consented to use of the Website. A Child Member that has registered through such external educational organizations will only be permitted to use the Website for so long as SchoolCity reasonably believes that such access has been consented by the Child Member's parent of guardian.

A Parent Member account, along with all associated Child Member accounts, may be terminated by SchoolCity at any time and without warning for any failure to abide by these Terms. IF YOU REGISTER, APPROVE THE REGISTRATION OF, OR OTHERWISE ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY CHILD MEMBER, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE SUCH CHILD MEMBER'S LEGAL PARENT OR GUARDIAN AND YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS ON BEHALF OF SUCH CHILD MEMBER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION BEING LIABLE FOR ALL USE OF THE WEBSITE BY THE CHILD MEMBER. You acknowledge that SchoolCity may choose, but is not obligated, to make any inquiries, either directly or through third parties, that SchoolCity deems necessary to validate Your registration information, including without limitation engaging third parties to provide verification services. SchoolCity reserves all rights to take legal actions against anyone who misrepresents personal information or is otherwise untruthful about their identity. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SCHOOLCITY CANNOT GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY OF ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY ANY USER AND SCHOOLCITY IS NOT OBLIGATED TO VERIFY THE IDENTITY OF ANY USER, INCLUDING ANY USER'S CLAIM TO BE A PARENT MEMBER, OR TO VERIFY THAT A PARENT IDENTIFIED BY A CHILD MEMBER OR A COACH DURING REGISTRATION IS SUCH CHILD MEMBER'S ACTUAL PARENT OR GUARDIAN.

If you are a Coach, you may register accounts on the Website for one or more of your students solely using the applicable registration mechanism made available by SchoolCity for Coaches on or through the Website. IF YOU ARE A COACH AND YOU REGISTER AN ACCOUNT FOR ANY CHILD MEMBER, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED EXPRESS CONSENT FROM SUCH CHILD MEMBER'S PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN FOR YOU TO REGISTER THE CHILD MEMBER FOR THE WEBSITE AND FOR YOU TO PROVIDE TO SCHOOLCITY THE INFORMATION YOU DISCLOSE IN CONNECTION WITH THE REGISTRATION OF SUCH CHILD MEMBER.

  2. (b) Arbitration. For any claim related to the Terms or the Website, excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief, where the total amount sought is less than ten thousand U.S. Dollars ($10,000.00 USD), either SchoolCity or You may elect at any point in or during a dispute or proceeding to resolve the claim through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. A party electing arbitration shall initiate it through an established alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted, at the option of the party seeking relief, by telephone, online, or based solely on written submissions; (b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and (c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
  3. (c) Jurisdiction. You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to the Terms or SchoolCity will be filed only in the state or federal courts in and for Santa Clara County, California, and each of You and SchoolCity hereby consent and submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action, except as provided in Section 16.3(b) regarding arbitration. Notwithstanding this, either party shall still be allowed to apply for injunctive or other equitable relief to protect or enforce that party's intellectual property rights in any court of competent jurisdiction where the other party resides or has its principal place of business.
  4. (d) Improperly Filed Claims. All claims you bring against SchoolCity must be resolved in accordance with this Section 16.3. All claims filed or brought contrary to this Section 16.3 shall be considered improperly filed. Should either party file a claim contrary to this Section 16.3, the other party may recover attorneys' fees and costs up to one thousand U.S. Dollars ($1,000.00 USD), provided that such party seeking such fees has notified the other in writing of the improperly filed claim, and the other has failed to promptly withdraw the claim.
4. Severability. If any provision of the Terms or any Guidelines is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated from the Terms to the minimum extent necessary and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
5. Assignment. The Terms and related Guidelines, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by You, but may be assigned by SchoolCity without restriction. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of the Terms shall be null and void.
6. Survival. Upon termination of the Terms, any provision which, by its nature or express terms should survive, will survive such termination or expiration, including, but not limited to, Sections 5 through 16.
7. Headings. The heading references herein are for convenience purposes only, do not constitute a part of the Terms, and will not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
8. Entire Agreement. The Terms, the Privacy Policy and Guidelines constitute the entire agreement between You and SchoolCity relating to the subject matter herein and will not be modified except in writing, signed by both parties, or by a change to the Terms, Privacy Policy or Guidelines made by SchoolCity as set forth in Section 4 above.
9. Claims. YOU AND SCHOOLCITY AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE WEBSITE MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
10. Disclosures. The Website is hosted in the United States, and the services provided hereunder are offered by SchoolCity: 2900 Lakeside Dr., Suite 270 Santa Clara, CA 95054; info@schoolcity.com

Web browser cookies
A cookie is a text file that lives on the client user's computer. Cookies are either stored in memory (session cookies) or placed on users' hard disk (persistent cookies). A persistent cookie can keep information in the user's browser to a long lifespan until deleted.

Our Site only uses session cookies. When an authenticated user logs off, cookies are emptied. Sensitive information, including user credentials, is not stored in cookies. Users may determine how their browser handles cookies, and may disable cookies being stored. However, by disabling cookies certain Site features and functionality may no longer work properly, or function at all.

Authentication
The Site requires user authentication. Authentication may be based on the existence of an entry in the Customer's LDAP directory or on the presence of application-specific credentials stored in the Site database.

The purpose of authentication is to control access to protected data and restrict actions that may be performed. Once a user has been authenticated, a unique internal user ID is stored, usually in session but possibly in cookies (see the sections on Cookies and Session). This ID is stored only as long as the user session is valid. This unique internal user ID is based on internal database record keys and is not related in any way to any other identification owned by or assigned to the user.

The stored internal user ID may be used to track a user's actions while logged in to the application:

Stored internal user IDs are used to ensure that users only visit data they are allowed to see.
The internal user ID of an authenticated user may be logged when an error occurs during that user's session.
The internal user ID of an authenticated user may be logged in a log tracking session activities.
Other user information, such as name, may also be stored in session to be used as above or to provide a customized user interface.

A user's password is not stored in session or in cookies. Once the user has logged off, all user information stored outside of the authentication source is deleted.

Access Logs
If a user is authenticated, the following information will be stored in the database:

Login date and time
Browser
Browser Version
Operating System
Session end date and time
A code identifying how the session ended
