Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your school’s and your individual use of Bellplan, the school-operations software provided by Bellplan, Inc. (“Bellplan,” “we,” or “us”). By creating an account, accepting an invitation, or otherwise using the service, the school and the individual user agree to these Terms.

1. Accounts and access

Bellplan accounts are issued to schools, who in turn invite individual staff members. Each staff member is responsible for safeguarding their sign-in credentials and notifying their school administrator of any suspected unauthorized access. Schools are responsible for promptly deactivating accounts of staff who leave the school.

2. Acceptable use

You agree not to use Bellplan to:

• Upload, store, or process student educational records;
• Upload content that infringes the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any party;
• Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of Bellplan or attempt to breach security or authentication measures;
• Interfere with or disrupt service availability for other schools;
• Resell, sublicense, or otherwise commercialize the service without our prior written consent.

3. Beta service

During the early-access period, Bellplan is provided as a beta service. Features may change, be temporarily unavailable, or be removed without notice. We will give reasonable advance warning before any change that materially reduces functionality. The placeholder banner on every legal page makes the beta status visible to procurement reviewers and school administrators.

4. Trial and subscription

New schools receive a fourteen (14) day free trial when they sign up through /demo/signup. After the trial, the account becomes read-only until the school upgrades to a paid plan. Read-only mode preserves the school’s data and allows export, but prevents creation or editing of new tasks, events, or members. Schools may export their data at any time during the trial, the read-only period, or by emailing the contact below.

5. Fees

Paid plans are billed monthly or annually in advance. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law. We will give thirty (30) days’ notice before any fee increase. The school administrator’s authorized billing contact will be notified by email.

6. Data ownership

The school owns all data uploaded to Bellplan. We claim no ownership of school content. We process the data only to provide the service to the school, as further described in our Privacy Policy. The school grants Bellplan a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, and display the data solely as necessary to operate the service.

7. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep the other party’s confidential information confidential and to use it only for the purpose of the service relationship.

8. Warranty disclaimer

Except as expressly set out in a signed agreement, the service is provided “as is.” We disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

9. Limitation of liability

Neither party will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to these Terms. Each party’s total liability is capped at the amounts paid by the school to Bellplan in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

10. Termination

Either party may terminate the service with thirty (30) days’ notice for convenience or immediately for material breach that is not cured within fifteen (15) days of notice. On termination, the school retains the right to export its data for ninety (90) days, after which we will delete it.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified to school administrators by email at least thirty (30) days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
