Terms of Service

Last updated November 8, 2026

Agreeing to these terms

These terms are an agreement between you and veratree ("we", "us") for using the veratree website and app. By creating an account or using veratree, you agree to them. If you use veratree for a school, you're agreeing on the school's behalf and confirm you're allowed to. If a school has a separate written agreement with us, that agreement takes priority where the two differ.

Who can use veratree

• Schools and teachers can use veratree to track student learning.
• Students can use veratree as part of a class, with their school's permission. Students under 13 must join through a teacher's class, and the school is responsible for getting any consent needed from parents.
• School leaders invited by veratree can view their own school's summaries.

Your account

Give accurate information when you sign up, keep your password private, and tell us right away at hello@veratree.app if you think someone else has used your account. You're responsible for what happens under your account. Teachers are responsible for approving the right students into their classes.

Using veratree respectfully

Please don't:

• Post anything harmful, harassing or hateful, or anything that isn't yours to share.
• Upload another person's private information without permission.
• Try to see records you're not allowed to see, or get around veratree's security.
• Copy, scrape or resell veratree, or use it to build a competing product.
• Disrupt the service, such as by sending automated traffic or uploading harmful files.

We may suspend an account that breaks these rules, and we'll tell the school when a student account is affected.

Your content

Students, teachers and schools keep ownership of what they add, such as reflections, goals, evidence and attachments. You give us permission to store, display and process it only to provide veratree to you and your school. We don't claim ownership of it, and we handle it as described in our Privacy Policy.

Our content

veratree's software, design, logo and the student-friendly descriptions of standards we wrote belong to us. State standards themselves belong to their publishers. You may use veratree for school purposes but may not copy or redistribute it.

Fees

Pricing hasn't been set yet. Any fees will be agreed in writing with the school or teacher before they apply. We won't charge anyone without that agreement.

Changes to veratree

veratree is new, and we're improving it often. Features may change or be removed. If we ever plan to shut down veratree, we'll give schools at least 60 days' notice and a way to export their records.

Ending your use

You can stop using veratree at any time. A school can ask us to close its accounts and delete its records. We may close an account that breaks these terms. Records are deleted as described in our Privacy Policy.

Disclaimers

We work hard to keep veratree accurate and available, but it's provided "as is". We don't promise it will always be available or free of errors. veratree supports teachers' judgment and doesn't replace it. Levels and summaries in veratree aren't official grades unless a school decides to use them that way.

Limit of liability

To the extent the law allows, veratree isn't liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost data or lost profits, from using the service. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount the school or user paid us for veratree in the 12 months before the claim, or $100 if nothing was paid.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Utah, unless a school's agreement with us says otherwise.

Changes to these terms

If we make a significant change, we'll update the date above and notify users before it takes effect. If you keep using veratree after that, you're agreeing to the new terms.
