RaiseMe also allows Students to connect with teachers and counselors from their schools and with outside college access organizations with whom they have a relationship outside of the RaiseMe Services (each, an "Educator"), and allows Educators to connect with Colleges. For purposes of these Terms of Use, Students, Sponsors, Educators and other visitors to the website together will be referred to as "Users" and the purposes described in this paragraph will be referred to as the “Intended Purpose.”

2.Scope of Services
2.1 If you choose to use the Services as a User, your relationship with CampusLogic is limited to being an independent user, and not an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of CampusLogic for any reason, and you act exclusively on your own behalf and for your own benefit, and not on behalf, or for the benefit, of CampusLogic.
2.2 The Site may contain links to third-party websites or resources (“Third-Party Services”). Such Third-Party Services may be subject to different terms and conditions and privacy practices. CampusLogic is not responsible or liable for the availability or accuracy of such Third-Party Services, or the content, products, or services available from such Third-Party Services. Links to such Third-Party Services are not an endorsement by CampusLogic of such Third-Party Services. Your interactions with third-party organizations and/or individuals found on or through the Services, including payment and delivery of goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties, or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such third-party organizations and/or individuals. You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these third parties. You agree that CampusLogic shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings.
2.3 Due to the nature of the Internet, CampusLogic cannot guarantee the continuous and uninterrupted availability and accessibility of the Site or the related Services. CampusLogic may restrict the availability of the Services or certain areas or features thereof, if this is necessary in view of capacity limits, the security or integrity of our servers, or to carry out maintenance measures that ensure the proper or improved functioning of the Site or the Services. CampusLogic may improve, enhance and modify the Services and introduce new Services from time to time.
3.Eligibility, Using the Site, User Verification
3.1 In most states, you must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into legally binding contracts to accept and agree to these Terms. If you are not of legal age to form a binding contract, then you must have your parent or guardian read these terms and agree to them for you before you use the Services or provide any information to us. Please review this agreement with your parent or guardian so that you both understand what restrictions apply to your use of our websites and services.
3.2 If you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of an organization or entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to agree to these Terms on that organization or entity's behalf and bind them to these Terms (in which case, the references to "you" and "your" in these Terms, except for in this sentence, refer to that organization or entity).
3.3 CampusLogic may make the access to and use of the Site and Services, or certain areas or features of the Site and Services, subject to certain conditions or requirements, such as completing a registration process or meeting specific quality or eligibility criteria. You promise to provide us with accurate, complete, and updated registration information about yourself. You may not register with an email address or phone number that you don't have the right to use, or another person's email address or phone number with the intent to impersonate that person. You may not transfer your account to anyone else without our prior written permission.
4. How it Works
4.1 Connecting with Users: Educators may only
connect with Students from the schools or organizations that such Educators
serve, and may connect with an individual Student only with that Student's
permission. Educators may also connect with Colleges and Sponsors via the
Services. Students may only connect with Educators from their own schools and
organizations, and may connect with an individual Educator only with that
Educator's permission. Students may elect to “follow” Sponsors via the Services
by selecting Sponsors and clicking to “follow” those Sponsors. By clicking to
“follow” Sponsors, Students consent and authorize the transfer of their
information, profile, and personal data provided via RaiseMe to such Sponsors for
the purpose of allowing Sponsors to view their profiles and provide information
related to their programs and institution. Sponsors may only view the profiles
of Students who elect to follow them. Permissions to connect may be modified
through the "My Connections" and "Account Settings"
sections of your account.
4.2 Qualifying for Micro-Scholarships: Students can earn Micro-Scholarships based on the courses and achievements they add to their profiles while they are in high school. Students may only be awarded Micro-Scholarships from Colleges and Sponsors that they follow before the applicable College's and/or Sponsor's "Follow Deadline" for their class year, which is a date set by each College and Sponsor and stated on such College's or Sponsor's page on the Services. Once a College's or Sponsor's Follow Deadline has passed, Students who are seniors in high school may not continue to earn Micro-Scholarships from such College or Sponsor. Micro-Scholarships can be awarded retroactively for Students' previous accomplishments, if expressly stated by a College or Sponsor. Retroactive cases could include, by way of example, when a Student adds an achievement accomplished in the past. Select Micro-Scholarships may only be awarded to a finite number of Students, as stated in the College's or Sponsor's award criteria. Certain Micro-Scholarships may have eligibility requirements that are based on a Student's grade point average ("GPA"). RaiseMe calculates a Student's GPA as displayed on the following page: help.raise.me/article/34-how-is-my-gpa-calculated-on-raise-me. RaiseMe reserves the right to verify any Student's accomplishments. Any information found to be false or misleading may disqualify that Student from all Micro-Scholarships. In addition, the Colleges and/or Sponsors that have awarded Micro-Scholarships to that Student may be notified of that Student's disqualification.
4.3 Applying to College: Students’ RaiseMe profiles do not take the place of any college entrance application, nor do they guarantee Students admittance to any college. RaiseMe does not make any guarantees, representations, or promises that the Services or any Micro-Scholarships will assist you in getting admitted into college, except that the use of the RaiseMe platform shall not reduce the likelihood of acceptance through a College Partner’s admissions process.
4.4 Redeeming Micro-Scholarships:
Unless otherwise stated by any College or Sponsor, Students have one year from the date of high school graduation to begin redemption of their Micro-Scholarships, unless otherwise specified by the College as part of their Eligibility Criteria. To be eligible to redeem your Micro-Scholarships with the College you ultimately attend, you must follow that College before its Follow Deadline for your class year (as set by the College and stated on the College's page on the Services) and ensure your profile is complete (meaning your personal information is correct and you have submitted at least fifteen (15) course credits worth of grades, unless otherwise stated by the applicable College). If you have indicated that you are a Senior in high school, RaiseMe will automatically submit your profile to each College that you are following by the College's Follow Deadline if your profile is complete as defined by the College's minimum course credit requirement. Each College has a different Follow Deadline for your class year. If you do not follow a College before such Follow Deadline, the Micro-Scholarships earned on RaiseMe will not be included in your financial aid package from that College.
If you follow a College before its Follow Deadline, meet all of the College's eligibility requirements, including having a complete profile, apply before the College's required deadline and are accepted to such College, your applicable Micro-Scholarship earnings will be included in your financial aid package from such College. The Micro-Scholarships you earn on RaiseMe for each particular College represent a minimum amount of scholarship or grant aid that the College is willing to include in your financial aid package if you are admitted to and attend that College. If you receive an even larger scholarship or grant upon admission (based on your college application or FAFSA), then that scholarship or grant will include or replace the Micro-Scholarships you have earned on RaiseMe, at the College’s sole discretion. Colleges or Sponsors may disburse Micro-Scholarships as part of, or separate from, any financial aid package.
Each College or Sponsor controls the method through which it disburses Micro-Scholarships and RaiseMe is not responsible for any disputes between a Sponsor and/or College, and a Student regarding disbursement. Colleges and/or Sponsors may suspend a Student's redemption of Micro-Scholarships if the Student is not enrolled full-time or does not maintain compliance with other institutional criteria (found on the College's profile page). Micro-Scholarships from Colleges or Sponsors may be contingent on the Student's maintaining a minimum grade point average ("GPA"). A Student will lose such Micro-Scholarships for the period during which his or her GPA falls below the minimum requirement. Such Student's Micro-Scholarships may be restored when his or her GPA rises back above the minimum; however, the Student will not be reimbursed for the portion of Micro-Scholarships lost while the Student's GPA was below the minimum requirement.
Micro-Scholarships are split evenly across the Student's first four years of attendance at the redeeming College, unless the College or Sponsor expressly states otherwise. If the Student completes undergraduate education in increments other than four years, it is at the College's or Sponsor's sole discretion to determine how the tuition reduction will be applied per year.
The fulfillment of each Micro-Scholarship is the sole responsibility of the College or Sponsor awarding such Micro-Scholarship(s). RaiseMe is not and will not be responsible for the fulfillment of any Micro-Scholarship(s). Students can only redeem Micro-Scholarships from a College if they are admitted to, enroll at, and attend that particular school. Micro-Scholarships are remitted as a reduction to that Student's full tuition bill. Colleges and Sponsors must honor all Micro-Scholarship commitments made to Students on RaiseMe, provided such Students are admitted to, enroll at, and attend the applicable College.
4.5 Transfer Students: Micro-Scholarships can be redeemed by transfer students unless a Sponsor expressly states otherwise on the Services. If a Student transfers to a College where he or she has received Micro-Scholarships, the awarding College shall honor the corresponding proportion of Micro-Scholarships based on a four-year undergraduate program, unless otherwise expressly stated by the College on the RaiseMe platform.
5.Modification of These Terms
5.1 CampusLogic reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time in accordance with this provision. If we make changes to these Terms, we will post the revised Terms on the Site. If the changes are substantial, we will place a notice on the Site, send you an email, or communicate the updated Terms in some other manner. If you disagree with the revised Terms, you may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect and discontinue your use of the Site and the Services. If you do not terminate your Agreement before the date the revised Terms become effective, your continued access to or use of the Site will constitute acceptance of the revised Terms.

If you are a California resident, you shall and hereby do waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party."
12. Indemnification
12.1 You agree to release, defend (at CampusLogic’s option), indemnify, and hold CampusLogic and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (i) your breach of these Terms, (ii) your improper use of the Site or any Services, (iii) your interaction with any User, including without limitation any injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such interaction or use, (iv) your breach of any laws, regulations or third party rights, including privacy laws and rights; or (v) your breach of your representations and warranties to CampusLogic in these Terms.
13. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement
13.1 This Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement shall apply if you (i) reside in the United States; or (ii) do not reside in the United States, but bring any claim against CampusLogic in the United States (to the extent not in conflict with Sections 11 or 12).
13.2 Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. CampusLogic is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part process for individuals to whom Section 13.1 applies: (1) an informal negotiation directly with CampusLogic’s customer service team, and (2) a binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) using its specially designed Consumer Arbitration Rules (as modified by this Section 13). Specifically, the process provides:
· Claims can be filed with AAA online (www.adr.org);
· Arbitrators must be neutral and no party may unilaterally select an arbitrator;
· Arbitrators must disclose any bias, interest in the result of the arbitration, or relationship with any party;
· Parties retain the right to seek relief in small claims court for certain claims, at their option;
· The initial filing fee for the consumer is capped at $200;
· The consumer gets to elect the hearing location and can elect to participate live, by phone, video conference, or, for claims under $25,000, by the submission of documents;
· The arbitrator can grant any remedy that the parties could have received in court to resolve the party’s individual claim.
13.3 Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and CampusLogic each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact CampusLogic’s customer service team by emailing us at the contact addresses provided on the Site. If after a good faith effort to negotiate one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration. In order to initiate arbitration, a claim must be filed with the AAA and the written Demand for Arbitration (available at www.adr.org) provided to the other party, as specified in the AAA Rules.
13.4 AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE. YOU AND CAMPUSLOGIC MUTUALLY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION, ENFORCEMENT OR INTERPRETATION THEREOF, OR TO THE USE OF THE SITE, ANY RAISEME SERVICE OR THE COLLECTIVE CONTENT (COLLECTIVELY, “DISPUTES”) WILL BE SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION (THE “ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”). IF THERE IS A DISPUTE ABOUT WHETHER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT CAN BE ENFORCED OR APPLIES TO OUR DISPUTE, YOU AND CAMPUSLOGIC AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR WILL DECIDE THAT ISSUE.
13.5 Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and CampusLogic each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) Any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) Any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack).
13.6 Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by AAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified here. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1–800–778–7879.

13.8 Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.
