Please review Gradelink’s “Disclaimer of Warranties” in Sections 18 and 19.
Information Collection and Disclosure
Personally Identifiable Information collected about you by Gradelink is treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy, you must cease use of the Gradelink Services.
Gradelink collects and analyzes data on how groups of people may use Gradelink solely for the purpose of improving and enhancing its Service.

However, information on individual usage of the system, including but not limited to individual IP addresses, may be analyzed on a case-specific basis to resolve a technical difficulty or to assist in resolving or investigating any misuse of the Service.
In addition, Gradelink may provide individual usage information to your school if your school requests such information to assist in the investigation of fraudulent, abusive, or criminal activity or any other use of Gradelink that violates your school’s rules or policies.
Gradelink requires that all users create a screen name and password, which is stored on the site, and may collect other basic information such as name, address, email, etc. depending on the needs of your school or the Service.
This information is not given or sold to any third parties unless required by your school as part of your school’s information management efforts.
Your school may also use Gradelink for all purposes that include public forums, on-line discussions or message boards. Your school will decide how it wishes to use public forums, online discussions and message boards.
These information collection, management, and disclosure practices apply to parents, teachers, administrators, and students.
If you are a parent, you must verify that you agree that this is acceptable for you as well as any of your children who may use Gradelink. If you are a teacher or school administrator, you must also verify that this is acceptable for you as well as any of your students that use Gradelink
Use Term
Gradelink provides a Web-based information system for managing the receipt and delivery of educationally based information (“Product”).
1) Title
Title to all of the information on the Service and the Site (“Product”) remains with your school or school district (the “Customer”) that wishes to deliver information to you or receive information from you (“User”). Gradelink does not and will not take sole title or possession to any of the information delivered or received (“Product”).
2) Product Warranty.
Information delivered or received through the Service or the Site (“Product”) will be subject to any warranty or disclaimer or warranties by the educational institution (“Customer”) that delivers or receives the Product. You agree to deal directly with the educational institution (“Customer”) regarding any and all warranty issues. Gradelink therefore disclaims all warranties related to the Product, as it does not own, have title to, take possession of, or sell or transfer the Product. Only the Customer does or is able to do this.
3) Product Release.
Gradelink manages the Product receipt and delivery process and has no control over the quality, accuracy or safety of the Product on the Site or through the Service or the ability of the educational institution (“Customer”) to provide any particular quality, accuracy or safety with respect to the Product.
4) Product Use.

5) User Ability to Opt-Out.
If you are the parent and guardian of a student using Gradelink’s Service or Site, and cease to agree with Gradelink’s terms of use or Privacy Policy at some point in the future, you may opt-out by contacting Gradelink via email or phone, which will deactivate your account and your child’s account, and obtain authorization from your school (the “Customer”) to erase any personal information that has been collected. The fastest way to opt-out is to contact your school administrator.

1) Provide Users with promotional information via e-mail regarding services offered by Gradelink or services or products offered by third parties. Users may opt out of receiving third-party promotions by contacting Gradelink.
