Summary
- Your school owns its data. We only use it to provide the service.
- Your order form comes first. Where it differs from these terms, it wins.
- Use it for school business, and keep your sign-in to yourself.
- Leaving is simple. Export everything at no charge when you go.
01Agreeing to these terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) apply to your use of the Bibnor website and the Bibnor platform (together, the “Services”) provided by Bibnor LLC (“Bibnor”, “we”, “us”). By using the Services, you agree to these Terms.
Schools that subscribe to the platform also sign an order form or services agreement with us (the “School Agreement”). If the School Agreement conflicts with these Terms, the School Agreement controls.
02Who can use Bibnor, and accounts
The platform is provided to schools, which invite their staff, families, students and PTO members as users. Your access comes through your school, and your school decides which features and records you can see.
- Keep your sign-in details confidential and don’t share your account.
- Tell your school or us promptly if you suspect someone else has used your account.
- Schools are responsible for the users they invite and for keeping user access up to date, for example by removing staff who leave.
03Acceptable use
In shortUse Bibnor for legitimate school purposes, and don’t try to break it or get at data that isn’t yours.
You agree not to:
- access, or try to access, records you haven’t been authorized to see;
- upload anything unlawful, harmful, or that infringes someone else’s rights;
- introduce malware, probe for vulnerabilities without our written permission, or disrupt the Services;
- scrape, copy, reverse-engineer or resell the Services, except where the law expressly allows it;
- use the Services to harass anyone or to send unsolicited marketing.
We may suspend access that puts students, schools or the Services at risk. Where practical, we’ll contact the school first.
04Your school’s data
Schools own the information they and their users put into the platform (“School Data”). The school gives us permission to host, process and display School Data only as needed to provide, secure and support the Services for that school.
We handle School Data as described in our Privacy Policy and the School Agreement. We don’t sell it, and we don’t use it for advertising.
Schools can export School Data at any time, in open formats, without an export fee.
05Our software and content
Bibnor owns the Services, including the software, designs and content we create, and all related intellectual property. Subject to these Terms and the School Agreement, we give your school and its users a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Services for the school’s own purposes.
If you send us suggestions or feedback, we may use them to improve the Services without any obligation to you.
06Fees and payment
Subscription fees, billing periods and payment terms are set out in the School Agreement. Families who pay for tuition, lunch, aftercare or events through the platform are paying the school, and any refund or dispute about those charges is handled under the school’s own policies.
07Integrations and third-party services
The Services can connect to tools your school already uses, such as its student information system, learning platform, single sign-on or payment processor. Those services are provided by other companies under their own terms, and we’re not responsible for them. Turning on an integration authorizes us to exchange the relevant data with it.
08Availability, support and changes
We work hard to keep the Services fast and available, and we schedule maintenance to avoid the school day wherever possible. Service levels and support commitments, if any, are set out in the School Agreement.
We improve the Services continually. If we plan to remove a feature your school relies on, we’ll give reasonable advance notice.
09Disclaimers
Except as expressly stated in the School Agreement, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties such as merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
The Services help schools manage information and workflows. They don’t replace the professional judgement of school staff, and that includes anything AI-assisted features draft or flag.
10Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, neither Bibnor nor a school will be liable to the other for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits or revenue. Any further limits on liability are set out in the School Agreement.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
11Ending the service
A school can stop using the Services as set out in the School Agreement. We may suspend or end access for a serious breach of these Terms, after notice where practical.
When a subscription ends, the school can export all of its School Data at no charge before it is deleted, as described in our Privacy Policy.
12Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the state in which Bibnor LLC is organized, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, unless the School Agreement says otherwise. Before starting any formal dispute, both sides agree to try in good faith to resolve it by talking first.
13Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time and will revise the “Last updated” date above. We’ll give schools advance notice of material changes. Continuing to use the Services after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.
