Terms of Service

Effective date: July 1, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of AbsenceLedger (the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

The Service is made available to authorized users of participating school districts. Your district may impose additional policies that also apply to your use of the Service.

1. Eligibility and accounts

• You must be authorized by your school district to use the Service.
• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account.
• You must provide accurate information and promptly update account details when they change.
• You must notify your district administrator immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

2. Permitted use

You may use the Service only for lawful district-related absence management, staffing, and administrative purposes. You agree not to:

• Access data or features you are not authorized to view;
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service, servers, or networks;
• Attempt to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service;
• Use automated means to access the Service except as expressly permitted;
• Upload malware or harmful code;
• Misrepresent your identity, role, or affiliation;
• Use the Service in violation of applicable law or district policy.

3. District data and responsibilities

Data entered into the Service by or on behalf of your district remains subject to your district’s ownership and policies. Your district is responsible for the accuracy of data it provides, for obtaining any required consents, and for configuring user access appropriately.

We process district data to provide the Service as described in our Privacy Policy.

4. Notifications and third-party services

The Service may send email, Telegram, or other notifications based on district settings and your preferences. Optional integrations, such as Google Sign-In, are subject to the third party’s terms and privacy policies in addition to these Terms.

5. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, and documentation, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any right to use our trademarks or branding except as needed to use the Service in the ordinary course.

6. Availability and changes

We strive to keep the Service available and reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We may update these Terms by posting a revised version on this page and updating the effective date above. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR THAT OPERATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR SECURE.

8. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, IF ANY.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless us and our affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your misuse of the Service, violation of these Terms, or violation of applicable law or district policy.

10. Termination

We or your district may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time for any reason, including violation of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnification.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory local law applies. Courts located in New Jersey will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, unless otherwise required by law.
