NOTICE AS OF SEPTEMBER 1, 2021: POWERSCHOOL GROUP LLC ("POWERSCHOOL") ACQUIRED NAVIANCE ON MARCH 3, 2021, AND POWERSCHOOL IS NOW THE PROVIDER AND LICENSOR OF THE NAVIANCE PLATFORM. ALL REFERENCES TO "NAVIANCE" AND "HOBSONS" SHALL REFER TO POWERSCHOOL.

(Last Updated: 1/1/2022)
(Effective: 1/1/2022)

YOUR USE OF THE NAVIANCE PLATFORM (THE "SERVICE") CONSTITUTES YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE (THE "TERMS").

These Terms govern your use of the Service. The Service is owned and operated by Naviance Inc. ("Naviance"), a subsidiary of Hobsons, Inc. ("Hobsons").

By viewing, accessing, or using the Service (or any part thereof), you agree that these Terms are a binding legal agreement between you and Naviance, and you agree to be contractually bound both by the Terms, as Naviance may modify them from time to time, and by any Order Form (together with the Terms, the "Agreement"). For purposes of clarity, any Order Form that attaches or references these Terms is deemed to incorporate these Terms. The latest version of the Terms is available on the Service, including when you log in to the Service.

If you have entered into the Agreement on behalf of an educational institution (an "Institution") or other entity, you represent that you have the necessary authority to bind that Institution or entity to the Agreement. If you do not have the necessary authority, you are prohibited from viewing, accessing, or using the Service and must immediately discontinue viewing, access, and/or use. If you do not agree to these Terms, you are prohibited from viewing, accessing, or using the Service and must immediately discontinue viewing, access, and/or use. Any viewing, access, and/or use of the Service in violation of these Terms, or in a manner not authorized by these Terms, is unauthorized, is expressly prohibited, and is a violation of these Terms.

Naviance is committed to protecting your privacy, and therefore maintains a Privacy Policy that is incorporated as part of these Terms and the Agreement and which may be viewed here.

As used in these Terms and the Agreement, (i) "Customer" refers to the Institution and its officers, directors, employees, and agents (and excludes Naviance Competitors); (ii) "User" refers to a student, a student's parent(s) or legal guardian(s), and/or a person (excluding Naviance Competitors) who registers for the Service through an account provided by Customer; and (iii) "Naviance Competitor" means any entity that, in the sole opinion of Naviance, is an actual or potential competitor of Naviance or Hobsons, including without limitation any competing college and career readiness platform, product, or service, and includes any officer, director, employee, independent contractor, agent, or affiliate of such entity. For the avoidance of doubt, no Naviance Competitor: is permitted to be a Customer or User; can meet the definition of a Customer or User; or is permitted to view, access, or use the Service without express written permission from the General Manager of Naviance or Chief Executive Officer of Hobsons.

By viewing, accessing, or using the Service, you represent and warrant that you (i) are not a Naviance Competitor or acting on behalf of one in registering for, or viewing, accessing, or using the Service; and (ii) are authorized to view, access, or use the Service under these Terms.

1. Scope.The Service is a web- and mobile-application-based college and career readiness platform that helps students explore goal setting, academic planning, career exploration, and college and related post-secondary education preparation and planning. The Service also helps to identify and facilitate student connection with higher-education institutions and scholarship providers that are of interest, while simultaneously operating as the system of records for Customers. Many core features of the Service may be activated solely at the discretion of Customer.

The Service also includes a browser interface and data transmission, access, storage (subject to commercially reasonable limits as may be imposed by Naviance in its sole discretion), and single sign-on capabilities. Customers and Users are responsible for their own Internet connection, communications, and computer costs.

2. Optional Features.

2.1. Matching Features. The college-planning function contained in the Service includes certain optional features (collectively, "Matching") that allow students to view information from and interact with Hobsons' higher education Intersect subscribers ("Higher Education Institutions"). Matching is inactive by default, and therefore must be enabled by an authorized representative of Customer who has obtained consent from the student's parent or legal guardian prior to the activation of Matching. Matching may be turned on or off at any time at the sole discretion and control of Customer.

If Customer enables Matching for its students, its students will be able to:

  1. View supplemental material on college profile pages and upcoming informational and other pre-enrollment events, and
  2. RSVP to upcoming events hosted by Higher Education Institutions.

In addition, students who meet certain non-personally identifiable criteria will:

  1. Receive additional information about nonprofit Higher Education Institutions, and
  2. If a student expresses interest in a nonprofit Higher Education Institution, that student will receive an invitation through the Service to connect directly with the Higher Education Institution. The student may then choose either to disregard or to respond to the invitation.

No student or Customer information is shared with any Higher Education Institution unless Customer has enabled Matching and the applicable student has explicitly opted to send his/her information directly to the Higher Education Institution.

2.2. Third-Party Features. Customer may choose to activate and/or purchase features and services within the Service that are provided by third-party service providers. All such third-party features and services are inactive by default, and must therefore be enabled by an authorized representative of Customer. Such features and services may be turned on or off at any time at the sole discretion and control of Customer.

Once activated, some of these third-party service providers require that a limited amount of personally identifiable information be shared in order to for the third-party feature or service to function properly. All third-party service providersare contractually required (i) to comply with all applicable laws, (ii) to use the personally identifiable information only as necessary to provide the Service to Customer, (iii) to delete the personally identifiable information when no longer needed or when Naviance requests that it be deleted on behalf of Customer, and (iv) to comply with the Privacy Policy. If information is not required by the third-partyservice provider in order to operate the third-party service, it is not provided to such third-party service provider.

Certain third-party services are included with the purchase of the Service while others must be purchased separately, and may be subject to additional terms and conditions from Naviance and the applicable third-party service provider.

The liability of Naviance to Customer or any User for or in connection with any such third-party services shall be limited to the amount of fees paid to Naviance by such Customer for such third-party services less any amounts paid by Naviance to such third-party service provider for such third-party service.

2.3. Credit-Card Processing. Where applicable and necessary for additional purchases by an authorized representative of Customer, Naviance shall engage the services of third-party intermediaries to provide credit-card-processing services to Customer. Such intermediaries are solely links in the distribution chain and are prohibited from storing, retaining, or using the information provided, except for the sole purpose of credit card processing and/or as otherwise required by law. Before Customer submits credit card information, Customer must agree to any applicable third-party intermediary's terms of service and privacy policies including, without limitation, provisions on limited warranties and liability.

2.4. Interactive Areas. The Service may contain discussion forums in which Customers may post reviews of, make recommendations for, or give ratings for content, events, products, services, or third-party providers, or post other content, messages, materials, or other items ("Interactive Areas"). Interactive Areas are not accessible to Users.

Interactive Areas include Intersect by Hobsons, which allows Customers to edit their school profiles, interact with college admissions counselors, and manage college visit scheduling. Access to Intersect shall be subject to separate terms and conditions available here.

Customer is solely responsible for Customer's use of such Interactive Areas, and acknowledges and agrees that Naviance may set up any such Interactive Area to be accessible by all Customers or by certain Customers selected in Naviance's sole discretion.

2.4.1. No review, recommendation, or rating of any matter or service provider within the Service or in any Interactive Area shall be deemed to be an association with, sponsorship of, or an endorsement by Naviance of any the particular matter, or a guarantee of any service provider's quality, competency, qualifications, experience, resources, character, honesty, integrity, responsiveness, or other personal and professional characteristics.

2.4.2. Naviance takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any content posted, stored, or uploaded by any Customer or any third party in any Interactive Area, or for any loss or damage related to or resulting from Customer's or any other person's use of any Interactive Area, nor shall Naviance be held liable for any mistakes, defamation, slander, libel, omissions, falsehoods, or obscenity Customer may encounter in any Interactive Area. Although Naviance has no obligation to screen, edit, or monitor any of the content posted to or distributed through any Interactive Area, Naviance reserves the right, and has sole and absolute discretion, to remove, screen, or edit without notice any content posted to any Interactive Area at any time and for any reason, and Customer is solely responsible for creating backup copies of and replacing any material that Customer posts or stores in any Interactive Area at Customer's sole cost and expense.

3. Service Fees and Payments. Customer's access to and use of the Service shall be subject to certain fees set forth in the Order Form. Customer will pay all fees in accordance with the billing terms in effect at the time a fee or charge is due and payable to Naviance, as noted in the Order Form. All service fees are due and any amounts paid are non-refundable whether or not Customer uses the Service.

3.1. Billing and Renewal. Fees for the Service are payable to Naviance in advance. Except in the case where the Order Form includes an autorenewal provision, Naviance will notify Customer of the opportunity to renew the Service approximately thirty (30) days prior to the contract end date. Service fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities, and Customer shall be responsible for payment of all such taxes, levies, or duties as may be applicable to the Service fees (exclusive of any taxes or similar fees that may be imposed on the net income of Naviance).

3.2. Billing Information. In all cases, Customer shall provide Naviance with complete and accurate billing and contact information. This information shall include, without limitation, legal name, street address, e-mail address, name, and telephone number of an authorized billing contact. Customer agrees to update this information promptly following any change thereto.

Customer may opt to purchase additional, optional features by request, and subject to additional terms.

3.3. Fee Changes. Naviance reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to change the fees or any other charges and to introduce any new fees or charges at any time, upon at least thirty (30) days prior notice to Customer; provided, however that such fees and charges shall not become effective for Customer for services then in effect on Customer's account until the next renewal period for Customer's account.

3.4. Non-Payment and Suspension of Service. Customer's account will be considered delinquent if payment in full of the amount set forth on an invoice is not received within thirty (30) days following the date of the applicable invoice. Naviance reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Agreement and Customer's access to the Service if Customer's account becomes delinquent. Payments not received by Naviance within thirty (30) days following the date of the invoice shall bear interest at a rate equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is less, plus all expenses paid by Naviance for the purpose of collection. Customer will continue to be charged during any period of suspension. Customer agrees that Naviance may charge unpaid fees to Customer's credit card, if applicable, or otherwise bill Customer for unpaid fees. Naviance also reserves the right to impose a separate reconnection fee should Customer request access to the Service once outstanding fees have been paid.

For purposes of clarity, the Agreement is not a sale and does not convey any rights of ownership in or related to the Service or Intellectual Property Rights owned by Naviance to Customer or Users other than as expressly set forth herein. Naviance® is a registered trademark, and the Naviance logo and product names associated with the Service are trademarks of Naviance or third parties, and no right or license is granted to use them other than as expressly set forth in the Agreement; provided, however, that Customer may link to the homepage of the Naviance website located at www.naviance.com or to the Service from another website, for the purposes of directing Users to the website or the Service and that such link may include the Naviance name and relevant product name(s).

4.2. Confidential Information. Except for information provided by a Customer or User, all information available in or through the Service is confidential information of Naviance and/or Hobsons ("Confidential Information"). Customers and Users acknowledge that the only reason they have access to and can view that Confidential Information is by virtue of a Customer's purchase of the license contemplated by Section 5 below. Customers and Users agree that the Confidential Information will be maintained as confidential and shall be protected as a trade secret of Naviance and/or Hobsons. Customers and Users acknowledge that the Service and its components have been created, compiled, prepared, selected, and arranged by Naviance through the expenditure of substantial time, effort, and money, and that it constitutes the valuable property of Naviance. Customers and Users agree to take all necessary precautions to comply with all copyright, trademark, trade secret, patent, contract, and other laws necessary to protect all rights in the Confidential Information. For the avoidance of doubt, anyone or any entity that does not meet the definition of a Customer or User may not view, access, or use the Confidential Information without express written permission from the General Manager of Naviance or the Chief Executive Officer of Hobsons.

5. License to Customer. Subject to the Agreement, Naviance grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-assignable, worldwide, limited right and license to use the Service solely for Customer's own business purposes and for the ability to provide Users each with an individual account to use the Service.

In the event that a Customer or User makes any attempt to gain unauthorized access to another Customer's or User's account, or to view or manipulate the records of another Customer or User, Naviance reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the Agreement, and inform any relevant authorities of such violation.

7. Account Information and Data. Naviance, on behalf of itself, its employees, consultants, subcontractors, and third parties assisting Naviance in providing the Service, and Customer each represents, warrants, and covenants that it complies with, and will comply with, all applicable federal, state, and international data-protection and privacy laws and regulations with respect to the personally identifiable information collected, stored, and maintained through the Service, as well as with all applicable business regulations.

Naviance may disclose Customer or User information if necessary in order to comply with subpoenas, court orders, or regulatory requests; to protect Naviance's systems and customers; or to ensure the integrity and operation of Naviance's business and systems. When legally permissible, Naviance will notify Customer in advance of such disclosures and reasonably cooperate with Customer to limit the scope of such disclosures.

7.1. Privacy. Naviance is committed to protecting the privacy of Customer and User personally identifiable information, and maintains a detailed Privacy Policy, which may be viewed here. Naviance reserves the right to modify its Privacy Policy in accordance with the procedure outlined in that policy.

7.2. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA"). In the event Customer is subject to the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the parties agree as follows: (A) Customer appoints Naviance as a "school official" as that term is used in FERPA §§ 99.31(a)(1) and as interpreted by the Family Policy Compliance Office, and determines that Naviance has a "legitimate educational interest," for the purpose of carrying out its responsibilities under the Agreement. (B) Naviance acknowledges that it shall be bound by all relevant provisions of FERPA, and agrees that personally identifiable student information as defined in FERPA, obtained from Customer and its Users by Naviance in the performance of this Agreement: (i) will remain under the "direct control" of the Customer; (ii) will be used only to fulfill Naviance's responsibilities under the Agreement; (iii) will only be disclosed to third parties operating in partnership with Naviance as necessary to provide Services to Customer, provided that all such third parties are contractually bound to manage the information in compliance with the Naviance Privacy Policy and security policies in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 7 above and applicable laws, and to use the information for the sole and limited purpose of providing the Service to the Customer; and (iv) will not be disclosed to other third parties except as expressly provided for in FERPA §§99.31, without signed and dated written consent of the student's parent/legal guardian, or if the student is eighteen (18) years of age or older, signed and written consent of the student.

7.3. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"). Without limiting the generality of Section 7 of the Agreement, in the event that Customer allows Users under the age of 13 to submit personal information as defined in the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) to Naviance in connection with its use of the Service, Customer agrees that it will be responsible for obtaining verifiable parental consent prior to making the Service available to such Users. Naviance shall fully comply with COPPA and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder.

7.4. Security. Naviance implements, maintains, and updates, as appropriate, reasonable security policies, procedures, and practices as dictated by the nature of the personally identifiable information collected and maintained through the Service, in order to protect such information from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure.

The Service has security measures in place to help protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of Customer and User personally identifiable information. When the Service is accessed using a supported web browser, Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology protects information using both server authentication and data encryption to help ensure that data are safe, secure, and available only to authorized users. Naviance also hosts the Service in a secure server environment that uses a firewall and other technologies in an effort to prevent interference or access from outside intruders. Data is secured at rest using storage level encryption. The Service also require unique account identifiers, user names, and passwords that must be entered each time a Customer or User signs on. The Internet, however, is not perfectly secure and Naviance shall not be responsible for security incidents not reasonably within its control.

8. Term of Service and Termination.

8.1 Term of Service. Unless otherwise set forth on the Naviance Order The Agreement commences on the earlier of the date the Order Form is executed or the "contract start date" set forth on the Order Form (the "Effective Date") and shall continue for the initial term set forth on the Order Form (the "Initial Term"), unless terminated by Naviance pursuant to the Agreement, including these Terms. In the event the Order Form includes an autorenewal provision, the Agreement shall automatically renew after the Initial Term for consecutive one (1) year terms (each, a "Renewal Term") unless Customer provides Naviance with written notice of its intent not to autorenew not fewer than thirty (30) days prior to the conclusion of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term.

The Customer is responsible for all fees and charges during any suspension period.

You acknowledge that any breach of the Agreement, including these binding Terms, and including without limitation the restrictions on any unauthorized viewing, access, or use of the Service, will cause irreparable harm and injury to Naviance, for which there is no adequate remedy at law. Thus, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, you agree that Naviance shall be entitled to injunctive relief. Material breach of the Agreement, including these binding Terms, harms the integrity, functionality, and reputation of the Service and Naviance and its affiliates; detracts from Users' and Customers' trust in and use of the Service; and unfairly harms, thereby causing damage to, the business of Naviance, the Service, and the computers and servers through which Naviance offers the Service. Indeed, you agree that in the event you materially breach these binding Terms, Naviance will have to incur significant time, expense, and fees in investigating and remediating the breach (including, for example, the cost of attorney and Naviance employee time).

You agree that if you do not meet the definition of a Customer or User and you (i) view, access, or use the Service; (ii) violate Section 4.2; or (iii) otherwise act in a way not authorized by these Terms, you will pay Naviance's reasonable attorney's fees and costs, to be determined by a court, but not less than $100,000, an amount the parties agree would be the minimum reasonable fee for any legal action required to investigate the violation of and enforce these binding Terms. The payment of attorney's fees and costs contemplated in the previous sentence is in addition to any damages or other relief awarded by the Court.

19.3. Severability. If any provision of the Agreement, including these binding Terms, is found to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the invalid or unenforceable provision(s), with all other provisions remaining in full force and effect. If the provision cannot be construed to be rendered valid, it shall be severed from the remainder of the Agreement and these binding Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect.

19.4. Miscellaneous Provisions. In the event of any inconsistency between the Agreement, including these binding Terms, and any purchase order or similar terms on any Customer form, the Agreement shall control. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between Naviance and Customer or Naviance and Users as a result of this Agreement or use of the Service. The failure of Naviance to enforce any right or provision in this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by Naviance in writing. The Agreement, including these binding Terms and the incorporated Terms of Use, comprises the entire agreement between Naviance and Customer and Naviance and Users with respect to the Service and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, discussions, or agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties regarding the subject matter contained herein. Sections 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 19, and Customer's obligation to pay any fees due under the Agreement, shall survive termination of the Agreement.
