Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between Arrington Innovative Solutions, LLC (“AIS,” “we,” “us”) and the school or district that subscribes to KudoTapper (the “School,” “you”). By accessing or using KudoTapper, you agree to these Terms. If a separate signed agreement or data privacy agreement exists between us and the School, that agreement controls where it conflicts with these Terms.

KudoTapper is a white-label classroom token-economy platform: staff award points to students for positive behavior and work, and students redeem points at a staff-attended store kiosk by tapping an NFC card or fob. Points have no cash value, are not currency, and are not redeemable for money.

KudoTapper accounts are for staff only (teachers and administrators) and are created by invitation. There is no public sign-up, and students do not have accounts and do not log in. You are responsible for keeping account credentials secure, for activity under your accounts, and for ensuring the people you invite are authorized. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

You are responsible for the data you enter and for having the authority to enter it. You agree to: use KudoTapper only for its intended educational purpose; enter only the limited student information the service is designed for (and no sensitive data it does not ask for); manage your staff’s access; and comply with applicable laws, including student-privacy laws that apply to you.

You agree not to: attempt to breach or probe the security of the service or access data outside your school’s tenant; reverse engineer, resell, or white-label the service except as expressly permitted; upload unlawful, harmful, or infringing content; interfere with or overload the service; or use the service to harm students or staff. We may suspend access to protect the service, its data, or its users.

Our handling of personal information — and our binding commitments regarding student data — is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. As between us and the School, the School owns its data. We process student data only to provide the service, under the School’s direction, as its service provider and “school official” under FERPA.

We will enter into a Data Privacy Agreement with a School on request — including the Student Data Privacy Consortium (SDPC) National Data Privacy Agreement where a district uses it — and will provide reasonable security documentation to support the School’s due diligence. Where a signed DPA and these Terms conflict, the DPA controls for student data.

We work to keep KudoTapper available and reliable but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may update, improve, or modify features over time. We will give reasonable notice of material adverse changes to core functionality where practical.

Where a subscription is paid, fees, billing terms, and any usage limits are set out in the applicable order or signed agreement. Pilot or pro-bono deployments may be provided at no charge on the terms we communicate to the School.

KudoTapper, including its software, design, and brand, is owned by AIS and its licensors and is protected by law. We grant the School a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the service during the subscription. The School retains all rights to the data it enters.

Either party may end the subscription as provided in the applicable order or, absent one, on reasonable notice. On termination, staff access ends and student data is deleted or returned as described in our Privacy Policy. Sections that by their nature should survive (e.g. intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) survive termination.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, AIS will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, and our total liability arising out of the service will not exceed the amounts paid for the service in the twelve months before the claim (or, for no-charge deployments, be limited to the maximum extent the law allows). Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except where a School is a public entity subject to the laws of another U.S. state, in which case that state’s law and venue apply to the extent required.
