1. Eligibility

This platform is intended for use exclusively by adults engaged in the field of education and credentialing, including but not limited to teaching candidates, instructors, mentors, field supervisors, site administrators, and organization administrators. To access and use this service, you must be at least 18 years old and authorized by a participating educational organization. By using this platform, you affirm that you meet these eligibility criteria and are using the system for lawful and professional purposes only.

2. Use of the Service

You agree to use the service solely for its intended educational and administrative purposes. This includes submitting accurate information, completing assigned tasks, accessing shared documents and videos, and collaborating with authorized users. You are prohibited from attempting to reverse engineer, bypass security features, access unauthorized content, or use the platform in any manner that may disrupt its operation or compromise data security. Any misuse of the system may result in suspension or termination of access.

3. Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials, including your username and password. You must not share your account with others or leave it accessible on shared devices. If you suspect unauthorized access or notice unusual activity in your account, you are expected to report it immediately to your organization administrator. We encourage the use of strong passwords and multi-factor authentication, where applicable, to protect your account and associated data.

4. Data Usage

The data you submit—including forms, documents, comments, and activity records—belongs to your organization and is used solely for the operation, reporting, and security of the system. Elevate Software Solutions does not claim ownership over your submitted content. We store and process this data in a secure cloud environment to ensure proper functionality and maintain compliance with relevant data protection standards. Your organization controls how your data is accessed, retained, and managed within the platform.

5. Third-Party Services

To support specific functionalities, the platform integrates with trusted third-party services. We use SendGrid to deliver system-generated emails such as password reset links, notifications, and confirmations. We also use ipinfo.io to gather geolocation data from your IP address to enhance security and reduce repetitive multi-factor authentication prompts. These services only receive the minimum data necessary to perform their tasks and are bound by confidentiality and compliance obligations.

All content, design elements, source code, and platform technology are the property of Elevate Software Solutions or its licensors. This includes text, graphics, system workflows, video integration logic, and database structures. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or reuse any portion of the platform for commercial or non-commercial purposes without prior written permission. Trademarks, logos, and other intellectual property displayed on the platform remain the exclusive rights of their respective owners.

7. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

The platform is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. We make no warranties, expressed or implied, regarding the reliability, availability, or accuracy of the platform. While we strive to maintain uninterrupted service, we do not guarantee that the system will be free of errors or downtime. Elevate Software Solutions shall not be held liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use the platform, including but not limited to data loss or unauthorized access.
