Because of that, we have rights on what you may do with our property and may limit your use of the website, courses and services. We will have responsibilities to you and you will have responsibilities to us. Together, these rights and responsibilities are called “Terms of Use” (or “<strong>Terms</strong>”). By using our Services (defined below), you agree to these Terms. That is why it is important that you carefully read this whole page before you use Stride’s Services.</p><p><strong>By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are of legal age to enter into these Terms or, if you are not, that you have obtained the consent of your parent or legal guardian.</strong></p><p>Certain features of the Services may be subject to more terms, which will be posted in connection with such features. Those added terms are part of these Terms and are legally binding just as if they were written on this page.</p><p><strong>These Terms require the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, AND DO NOT PERMIT jury trials or class actions. These Terms also limit your remedies in the event of a dispute.</strong></p><h2>What definitions apply to these Terms?</h2><p>“<strong>FERPA</strong>” means the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) (“FERPA”) and similar laws that control the disclosure of student information.</p><p>“<strong>Stride” (or “we”)</strong> means Stride, Inc. and its subsidiaries and Affiliates. An “Affiliate” of Stride, Inc. is an entity that controls Stride, Inc., is controlled by Stride, Inc., or is under common control with Stride, Inc. “Control” means the direct or indirect possession of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management policies of an entity.</p><p>“<strong>Sensitive Information</strong>” means (1) personally identifiable information as defined in FERPA; (2) educational records, as defined in FERPA; (3) pupil records as defined in the California Education Code section 49073.1 and similar laws; and (4) covered information as defined in Student Data Privacy Laws.</p><p>“<strong>Services</strong>” means Stride’s Sites, software, products, mobile applications, AI-Enabled Services, and services.</p><p>“<strong>Sites</strong>” means Stride’s websites, which include <a href="https://www.stridelearning.com/" target="_blank"><strong>www.stridelearning.com</strong></a><a href="https://www.k12.com/" target="_blank">, <strong>www.k12.com</strong></a>, <a href="https://stridels.com/" target="_blank"><strong>www.stridels.com</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.k12courses.com/" target="_blank"><strong>www.k12courses.com</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.k12privateacademy.com/" target="_blank"><strong>www.k12privateacademy.com</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.gwuohs.com/" target="_blank"><strong>www.gwuohs.com</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.keystoneschoolonline.com/" target="_blank"><strong>www.keystoneschoolonline.com</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.biguniverse.com/" target="_blank"><strong>www.biguniverse.com</strong></a>, <a href="http://www.learningliftoff.com/" target="_blank"><strong>www.learningliftoff.com</strong></a> and other websites.</p><p>“<strong>Student Data Privacy Laws</strong>” means laws that specifically protect the use and disclosure of electronic students records and information coming from those records.</p><p>“<strong>User Content</strong>” means all information and content (including Prompts and Creations (each as defined below), and any other text, photos, images, sound, video or other materials) that a user submits to the Services or generates through use of the Services.</p><h2>What Services Does Stride provide?</h2><p>Stride provides courses, lessons, evaluations, communication tools, tracking tools, directories, creative tools, event offerings and opportunities to communicate with others using the Services. The Services includes communications from Stride such as service announcements, administrative messages, and other messages. We may change, add or delete features of the Services from time to time. These Terms apply to all changes and additions.</p><p>The Services may include certain services, products, tools and features that are enabled by artificial intelligence (AI) technologies (“<strong>AI-Enabled Services</strong>”) and that allow you to submit text, images, multimedia, or other inputs or make certain selections (“<strong>Prompts</strong>”) to generate content (“<strong>Creations</strong>”). Due to the nature of AI, Creations may not be accurate, reliable, appropriate, or unique across users and the AI-Enabled Services may generate the same or similar Creations for Stride or other users. You understand that Creations may be subject to certain third-party rights and restrictions. Stride will not be responsible for any action that you take or do not take based on the AI-Enabled Services, including any Creations.</p><p>Our AI-Enabled Services are powered by foundational models trained on various data sources. You can access more information by visiting the webpages for the AI-Enabled Service(s) you are using, which are accessible on the applicable Stride’s website.</p><h2>What Requirements and Responsibilities Apply to Creating an Account?</h2><p><strong><em>Signing Up.</em></strong><em> </em>To use some of the Services, you must register for an account (“<strong>Account</strong>”) and provide information about yourself and/or your child. You must always provide true, complete and updated information for the Account. You also must be of legal age (usually 18 years old or older) to create the account. You may turn off your Account at any time by following the instructions on the Site. If you are adding a student to an Account, you are certifying that you are the parent or legal guardian of the child listed on the Account. As the parent or legal guardian, it is your responsibility to decide whether the Services are appropriate for your child.</p><p><strong><em>Account Responsibilities</em></strong>.

We can take back that license at any time. You do not have the rights to:</p><ul><li>Change or use our content for other purposes;</li><li>communicate or publish it to a third party, including the public, people you know, or other businesses and entities;</li><li>record, photograph or stream it;</li><li>post it on a website or social media platform;</li><li>sell it; or</li><li>otherwise violate our intellectual property rights, including using it to develop another product or service.</li></ul><p><strong><em>Ownership</em>.</strong> As between you and Stride and except for User Content, all content in the Services, including text, graphics, data, photographic images, moving images, sound, drawings, and software (“<strong>Services Content</strong>”) is either owned by Stride or licensed by Stride from third parties. All Services Content is protected by copyright, trademark, patent and other laws relating to the protection of intellectual property.</p><p><strong><em>Access</em></strong>. You are responsible for getting access to the Service. You must provide and are responsible for all equipment necessary to access the Service. However, you are not responsible for all fees connected with access or for providing all equipment if you are enrolled in a public school for which Stride provides services and that school has given you the equipment and/or partial or full reimbursement of access fees.</p><h2>What Are My Responsibilities as a Parent or Legal Guardian?</h2><p>As the parent or legal guardian of the student, you are responsible for the student’s education and access to the Internet. You agree to properly log the student’s true attendance, participate in parent/student meetings, and keep in good condition equipment and other materials given by Stride or the student’s school. You understand that computers or hardware made available to students may contain filtering software to restrict access to objectionable Internet sites. However, Stride is not responsible for the effectiveness of that software. Students may be given a webcam either separately or as part of a computer. Webcams may be activated by the student’s school or by Stride on occasion for purposes of proctored testing, selected courses and/or providing special programs’ services. People in physical possession of the computer can also activate the webcam. Webcams cannot be activated when the computer is turned off. Parents are responsible for their student’s use of the webcam. If Stride has given you or the student with a computer or other hardware, you will quickly return it to Stride when you are requested to do so. If you do not do so, Stride may disable some or all use of the computer or hardware.</p><h2>What Requirements Apply to Users Under the Age of 13?</h2><p>The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“<strong>COPPA</strong>”) requires that Stride get parental permission before knowingly collecting Sensitive Information from children under 13 years old. Stride does not knowingly collect or ask for any Sensitive Information from children under 13 except directly from a child’s parent or guardian or through the child’s use of the Services as a student in a school using the Stride Services. If we learn that we have collected Sensitive Information from a person under 13 that does not comply with COPPA, we will delete that information. If you believe that a child under the age of 13 has given Sensitive Information to us without complying with COPPA, please contact us at <a href="mailto:privacy@K12.com"><strong>privacy@K12.com</strong></a>. </p><h2>What are Stride’s Rights about Service Modifications and Support?</h2><p><strong><em>Modification</em></strong>. At any time, we may change, suspend, add to or discontinue some or all of the Services with or without telling you. Stride is not liable for any changes, suspension, added or discontinuation of any of the Services.</p><p><strong><em>No Support or Maintenance</em></strong>. Stride has no duty to provide any support or maintenance about the Services. This limitation does not apply to any support or maintenance that the school in which your student has enrolled has specifically contracted with Stride to provide.</p><h2>What Requirements Apply to User Content?</h2><p><strong><em>User Content</em></strong>. You are responsible for your User Content (for clarity, including Prompts and Creations). By submitting or generating User Content using the Services, you represent and warrant that you have obtained all rights, permissions, and consents necessary to use such User Content. If you post something that concerns us, we may contact the authorities – such as the Police or Social Services. You will not post any User Content that violates your school’s policies, guidelines, or procedures.</p><p><strong><em>Conduct</em></strong>. You may not represent or suggest that your User Content is given, sponsored or endorsed by Stride. We do not have a duty to backup any User Content unless we must do so by law. Therefore, your User Content may be deleted at any time without prior notice.</p><p><strong><em>We May use Your Feedback</em></strong>. We welcome your feedback, ideas or suggestions (“<strong>Feedback</strong>”) about our Services! We may use your Feedback without any restriction or duty to you, even after you stop using the Services, unless the Feedback is protected by FERPA or any Student Data Privacy Laws.</p><p><strong><em>How we Use User Content</em></strong>. Your User Content stays yours. These Terms do not give us any rights to your User Content, except as explicitly stated.</p><p>When you provide your User Content to us or generate User Content through the Services (including, for clarity, the AI-Enabled Services), you grant to us (and those we work with) a perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), royalty-free, and worldwide license to reproduce, transmit, distribute, display and perform (publicly or otherwise), prepare derivative works based on, and otherwise use and exploit that User Content for any purpose (including to operate, promote, protect and improve our Services, and to develop new ones), and in any form or media (now known or later developed). For the avoidance of doubt, this license allows us to use your User Content to develop, improve, and train the AI-Enabled Services.</p><p>We may provide User Content to other entities; however, we will require those entities to use the User Content obeying the same restrictions that we must follow. The license you grant above continues even if you stop using our Services. However, we will exercise our license to your User Content only to the extent consistent with FERPA and Student Data Privacy Laws.</p><p><strong><em>Enforcement</em></strong>. We may, but do not have to, review User Content, and investigate and/or act against you in our sole determination if you violate the Acceptable Use Policy below or your school’s student code of conduct or any other provision of these Terms or otherwise create liability for us or any person. Such action may include removing or changing your User Content, ending your Account, reporting you to your school for violations of the school’s code of conduct and/or reporting you to police or other authorities.</p><h2>What is Stride’s Acceptable Use Policy?</h2><p>We expect you to behave responsibly.

It is part of your contract with Stride and affects your rights.</u></strong> <strong>Any dispute or claim relating in any way to these Terms (including to the validity and enforceability of the Terms) or the Services will be solved by binding and confidential arbitration, rather than in court</strong>. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms. <strong>There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must follow the Terms as a court would.</strong> The arbitration will be conducted in English by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person. The arbitration will be held before one arbitrator and that person will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. <strong>We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action.</strong> If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, <strong>we both give up any right to a jury trial</strong>. We also both agree that you or we may bring a suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.</p><h2>What Other Provisions Apply?</h2><p><strong><em>California Disclosure</em></strong>.
