Customer Agreements: CohortReady+ customers may also enter into a subscription agreement, order form, Founding School agreement, or other written agreement with The CAL.

Accounts and Authorized Users: Customers are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of their account credentials and for controlling which employees, contractors, or other individuals are authorized to access their account. Customers are responsible for activity performed through their account by their authorized users.
Customer Responsibilities: Customers are responsible for the accuracy, legality, and appropriateness of information they collect, enter, upload, or process through CohortReady+. Customers are responsible for their own admissions, enrollment, payment, refund, privacy, marketing, employment, educational, and regulatory practices.
Customer Data: Customers retain their rights in the business and contact data they provide to or collect through CohortReady+. The CAL may process that data as necessary to provide, configure, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and support CohortReady+ and as described in our Privacy Policy.
Privacy Compliance: Customers are responsible for maintaining appropriate privacy notices and obtaining any permissions, disclosures, authorizations, or consents required for information they collect from prospective students, applicants, students, employees, or other contacts.

A2P and Carrier Registration: Customers using SMS functionality may be required to provide accurate business information and cooperate with A2P 10DLC, carrier, telecommunications provider, or other messaging registration and verification requirements. Approval is determined by third-party carriers or service providers and is not guaranteed by The CAL or CohortReady+.
Third-Party Services: CohortReady+ may rely on or integrate with third-party technology and services, including HighLevel, payment processors such as Stripe, telecommunications carriers, email providers, hosting providers, and other software services. Use of certain functionality may therefore be subject to third-party terms, policies, limits, approvals, availability, and fees.
Third-Party Interruptions: The CAL is not responsible for delays, interruptions, outages, carrier filtering, messaging registration decisions, payment processor restrictions, changes in third-party functionality, or other events caused by third-party providers outside of our reasonable control.
Acceptable Use: CohortReady+ may not be used for unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, abusive, harassing, unauthorized, or harmful activity. Customers may not use the service to send communications without appropriate authorization, attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems or accounts, interfere with platform operation, or use CohortReady+ in violation of applicable law or third-party provider policies.
Software Availability: We will make reasonable efforts to maintain access to CohortReady+, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or continuous availability. Maintenance, upgrades, third-party outages, security events, technical issues, or circumstances outside our reasonable control may temporarily affect service availability.
Updates and Modifications: CohortReady+ may be updated, modified, improved, replaced, or reconfigured over time. Features may be added, changed, or discontinued as the product evolves, subject to any commitments contained in an applicable customer agreement.
No Enrollment or Revenue Guarantee: CohortReady+ provides technology and automation tools intended to help schools manage inquiries, communication, appointments, applications, deposits, enrollment follow-up, and related processes.

7. CohortReady+ Subscriptions, Fees & Cancellation
Subscription Fees: CohortReady+ may be offered through recurring monthly or other subscription plans. By subscribing, the customer authorizes The CAL or its payment processor to charge the applicable recurring subscription fee according to the customer's selected plan or written agreement.
Setup and Implementation Fees: Certain CohortReady+ plans may include one-time setup, configuration, implementation, migration, training, or onboarding fees. Unless otherwise stated in writing, setup or implementation fees are separate from recurring subscription fees.
Usage and Third-Party Charges: SMS, telephone, email, artificial intelligence, payment processing, or other usage-based or third-party charges may apply in addition to the subscription price when disclosed as part of the customer's plan, agreement, or usage.
Failed Payments: Customers are responsible for maintaining valid payment information. Access to CohortReady+ may be restricted or suspended for past-due amounts after reasonable attempts to obtain payment.
Cancellation: Cancellation requirements, notice periods, effective cancellation dates, refunds, and other subscription-specific terms will be governed by the customer's applicable CohortReady+ agreement or subscription terms.
Refunds: Unless otherwise required by law or expressly stated in the applicable agreement, cancellation does not automatically entitle a customer to reimbursement of setup fees, previously paid subscription fees, completed implementation work, or third-party usage charges.
8. CohortReady+ Intellectual Property
CohortReady+, including its name, branding, workflows, automation structures, templates, configurations, processes, documentation, training materials, implementation materials, and other proprietary content created by The Center for Advancement & Learning, remains the property of The CAL or its applicable licensors.

A customer's subscription provides a limited right to access and use CohortReady+ during the applicable subscription period. It does not transfer ownership of CohortReady+ intellectual property to the customer.

Customers may not copy, reproduce, resell, license, distribute, reverse engineer, commercially exploit, or provide unauthorized third parties with CohortReady+ proprietary materials except as expressly authorized in writing.
9. Suspension or Termination of CohortReady+ Access
The CAL may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to CohortReady+ when reasonably necessary due to nonpayment, unlawful activity, material violation of these Terms or an applicable customer agreement, misuse of the platform, security concerns, fraudulent activity, violation of third-party provider requirements, or activity that could reasonably place The CAL, CohortReady+, other customers, telecommunications providers, or technology partners at risk.
10. Payments
Payments may be processed securely through Stripe or another authorized payment processor. By submitting payment information, you authorize the applicable charges associated with the product, program, service, subscription, or agreement you selected.

All prices are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. The CAL may update pricing for future purchases, renewals, plans, or customers. Pricing changes will be handled according to any applicable subscription agreement or advance notice requirements.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, The CAL will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages arising from or relating to the use of our programs, products, services, facility, digital products, or CohortReady+, including loss of revenue, business opportunities, data, goodwill, or anticipated savings.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, The CAL's total liability arising from a particular product or service will not exceed the amount paid to The CAL by the affected customer for the specific product or service giving rise to the claim during the applicable period.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
12. Photography & Media
The CAL may photograph or record certain events, workshops, and facility activities for marketing, promotional, or educational purposes. Where applicable, participants may notify us in writing if they do not wish to be included in identifiable promotional media.
13. Privacy

14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our programs, services, technology, business practices, or legal requirements. Updated Terms will be posted with a revised effective date. Changes affecting an existing paid CohortReady+ subscription will also remain subject to any applicable written customer agreement.
