Please continue reading to learn about the terms by which you may use our web and/or mobile services (collectively, the "Services"). |

| 5 | 5 | These General Terms of Use apply to all: (i) schools, school districts, and related entities and organizations that sign up to use the Services, including but not limited to administrators who access the Services on their behalf (each a "School"); (ii) non-School visitors, users, and others, including students, teachers, and their parents or guardians, who use the Services; and (iii) third-party providers of software, applications or tools (each a "Developer" and collectively with the individuals referenced in (ii) above and Schools, the "Users" or "you"). If you're a School, our [Additional Terms of Use for Schools](https://clever.com/trust/terms/schools) apply to you too. If you are a parent or guardian that creates an account on Clever (each a "Parent"), our [Additional Terms of Use for Parents](https://clever.com/trust/terms/parents) apply to you, too. If you're a Developer, our [Additional Terms of Use for Developers](https://clever.com/trust/terms/developers) apply to you too. These General Terms of Use, the [Additional Terms of Use for Schools](https://clever.com/trust/terms/schools) (as applicable to Schools), [Additional Terms of Use for Parents](https://clever.com/trust/terms/parents) (applicable to Parents) and the [Additional Terms of Use for Developers](https://clever.com/trust/terms/developers) (as applicable to Developers) are collectively referred to herein as the "Agreement". |

| 7 | 7 | By accessing or using the Services, checking the box marked \["I Agree"\], or by otherwise affirmatively stating your desire to use the Services, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement and to the collection and use of your information as set forth in the Clever [Privacy Policy](https://clever.com/trust/privacy/policy), otherwise you may not use the Services. Because our Services change relatively often, the terms in this Agreement and our Privacy Policy may change too. If you are a School or a Developer using the Services, we will notify you via email in advance of any material changes to the terms. Upon making changes, we will update the "Effective Date" found at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new terms. |
| 17 | 17 | Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Clever grants to you permission to access and use the Services. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you in the Services and the Clever Content (as defined below). We may terminate this license at any time for any or no reason. |

| 19 | 19 | **i) DETAILS ABOUT THE CLEVER SERVICES** |
| 20 | 20 | |
| 21 | 21 | Your Clever account gives you access to our Services, but don't sign up on behalf of a School if you do not have the requisite authority to do so. Once you sign up, you are responsible for your account and any data associated with it. |
| 22 | 22 | |
| 23 | Your Clever account gives you access to the Services and functionality we make available from time to time and at our discretion, which may include single sign-on capability for certain applications made available by Developers. We maintain different types of accounts for different types of Users. If you open a Clever account on behalf of a School or a Developer, then (a) "you" includes you and that entity, and (b) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to this Agreement and that you agree to this Agreement on the entity's behalf. | |

| 25 | 25 | Remember: you are responsible for any activity that occurs on your account, you may never use someone else's account without permission, and you must keep your account password secure. We recommend using multi-factor authentication and long passphrases that have not been reused with any other service with your account to avoid unauthorized use (see [here](https://support.clever.com/hc/s/articles/000001549) for more guidance). Please let us know immediately if you think your account's security has been compromised so we can help; we are not liable for any losses of any kind caused by any unauthorized use of your account. |
