READAFUN TERMS OF SERVICE

Welcome to the www.readafun.com website (the “Site”). In these Terms of Service, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “ReadaFun,” and “Bookworm” refer to Bookworm Enterprises LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company, and “you” and “your” refer to you as a user of the Site and the Services.

Please read these Terms of Service carefully. Creating an account and using the Site and related services (collectively, including any new features, applications, and the Site, the “Service” or “Services”) indicates your acceptance of these Terms of Service.

THIS IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT (THE “AGREEMENT”) BETWEEN YOU - AS AN ACCOUNT OWNER, ACCOUNT ADMINISTRATOR, OR SUPPORTER, AS APPLICABLE, AND BOOKWORM. BY CLICKING “I ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS,” OR BY CREATING OR AUTHORIZING AN ACCOUNT, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT CREATE OR AUTHORIZE AN ACCOUNT AND DISCONTINUE YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

We may change or modify portions of this Agreement from time to time. Your continued use of the Service after any change constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms of Service. If you do not agree to any change, do not continue to use or access the Service.

When using certain features, you may also be subject to additional terms applicable to those features, including, without limitation, our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

Only persons of legal age may accept this Agreement and create or authorize an account. A Student account functions only as a Tracking Account, and cannot be used for fundraising, until the Student’s parent or legal guardian authorizes it as described in this Agreement. By using the Service to administer a Fundraiser, the Account Owner assumes all obligations relating to that Fundraiser, including compliance with all applicable federal and state laws. The use of funds raised through the Service is solely the responsibility of the Account Owner, without any direct or indirect responsibility or liability to Bookworm.

1. Definitions

1.1. “Account Administrator” a parent or legal guardian of a Student who has authorized the Student’s Tracking Account and has registered with ReadaFun to access Follower Access and related parental functions. Authorization may occur before registration; a parent or legal guardian who has authorized a Tracking Account but has not yet registered may share the Student’s Public Donation Page but does not have Follower Access and cannot approve or invite Supporters until registration is complete. Upon registration, the Account Administrator approves the Supporters who may follow the Student and supplies the contact details for any Supporter invitations.

1.2. “Account Owner” a School, School Organization, or Teacher that accepts this Agreement and creates Tracking Accounts for authorization by the applicable Account Administrator(s).

1.3. “Authorized Account” a Tracking Account that the Student’s parent or legal guardian has authorized for participation in a Fundraiser and for approved Supporter access.

1.4. “Follower Access” is the parent-gated access described in Section 4 by which a Supporter approved by the Account Administrator may view an Authorized Account Student’s reading log, written responses, and related updates.

1.5. “Fundraiser” a Read-A-Thon fundraiser sponsored by an Account Owner and administered through the Service using the school event page.

1.6. “Personal Information” information that identifies, relates to, or can reasonably be linked to a Student, as further described in the Privacy Policy.

1.7. “Public Donation Page” the freely shareable page described in Section 4 that displays only a Student’s limited public information and a donation option, and that does not grant access to the Student’s reading log, written responses, comments, or any Follower Access.

1.8. “Reading Program” a Read-A-Thon or reading event sponsored by an Account Owner and administered through the Service, whether or not associated with a Fundraiser.

1.9. “School” a public or private educational institution participating in the Service by agreeing to this Agreement and administering one or more Fundraisers or Reading Programs.

1.10. “School Organization” a parent-teacher association, parent-teacher organization, or similar organization officially sanctioned by, and operating within the guidelines of, a School. A School Organization has the same operational rights and privileges as a School in the Service, except that its authority to provide school authorization and consent is subject to the warranty and authority requirements in Section 8.

1.11. “Student” a ReadaFun user currently enrolled at a School for whom the School, School Organization, or Teacher creates a Tracking Account. A Student’s account is upgraded to an Authorized Account only upon authorization by the Student’s parent or legal guardian.

1.12. “Supporter” a ReadaFun user who supports a Student’s reading and related Fundraiser. Any Supporter who is granted Follower Access must first be approved by the Account Administrator.

1.13. “Teacher” a ReadaFun user currently employed as a teacher or teaching assistant at a School. A Teacher has the same operational rights and privileges as a School in the Service for the administration of Reading Programs and Fundraisers.

1.14. “Tracking Account” a Student account created by the Account Owner before it is authorized by the Student’s parent or legal guardian. A Tracking Account is used only for the use and benefit of the Account Owner and the School, and for no other commercial purpose.

2. Access and Use of the Service

2.1. Registration. All users other than Students must register with ReadaFun to access certain features of the Service. Tracking Accounts are created by the Account Owner and are used only for the use and benefit of the Account Owner and the School. The Student’s parent or legal guardian must authorize a Student’s Tracking Account before it can be upgraded to an Authorized Account and before the Student may participate in any Fundraiser. You agree to provide and maintain accurate, current, and complete registration information, and we may suspend or terminate an account if we have grounds to believe the information is untrue or inaccurate.

2.2. Account Security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your username and password and for all activity under your credentials. You agree to notify ReadaFun promptly of any unauthorized use or security breach and to exit your account at the end of each session. If you are an Account Administrator and authorize a minor in your care to use the Site, all such use must be under your supervision and control.

2.3. Modifications to the Service. ReadaFun may modify or discontinue the Service, or any part of it, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice, and will not be liable to you or any third party for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuance.

2.4. Use and Storage. ReadaFun may establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Service, including data-retention periods and storage limits, and may change these practices at any time. ReadaFun does not review Student answers or other content before it is posted, and it is the Account Administrator’s responsibility to monitor and, where appropriate, request removal of content associated with its Student accounts.

3. Tracking Accounts

3.1. Limited Purpose. Tracking Accounts are accessible only by the respective Student and the Account Owner. Information entered in a Tracking Account is not shared with any Supporter or third party, is used only for the use and benefit of the Account Owner and the School, and is used for no other commercial purpose. A Tracking Account cannot participate in any Fundraiser, invite or grant access to any Supporter, or take part in any outward-facing activity.

3.2. Upgrade to an Authorized Account. A Tracking Account is upgraded to an Authorized Account only after the Student’s parent or legal guardian reviews the parent notice and provides authorization at the parent approval step. Until that authorization is given, the Student may log reading activity but cannot fundraise, and no Public Donation Page or Follower Access is enabled.

3.3. No Outside Fundraising. Tracking Accounts may be used only in connection with Reading Programs that are not associated with any funds being raised, unless the Account Owner has elected to raise funds using a Service Fundraiser. Using Tracking Accounts to raise funds outside the Service is prohibited, and ReadaFun may deactivate or delete any account associated with such activity.

4. Public Donations and Follower Access

4.1. To protect Students, the Service separates the ability to make a donation from access to a Student’s reading activity. These two tiers operate as follows.

4.1.1. Public Donation Page (Tier One). Once an Authorized Account is active, the Student’s Public Donation Page may be shared freely and may be forwarded to anyone. The Public Donation Page displays only the Student’s first name and last initial, grade, school, the fundraising purpose, and the amount raised, together with a donation option. Making a donation does not create any follower relationship and does not grant access to the Student’s reading log, written responses, comments, or any other Personal Information. A person who donates through the Public Donation Page receives only a receipt.

4.1.2. Follower Access (Tier Two). A Student’s reading log, written responses, and any commenting feature are available only through Follower Access, and only to a Supporter whom the Account Administrator has approved from the Account Administrator’s own account. No payment, and no possession of a shared link, grants Follower Access. The Account Administrator may approve or remove a Supporter’s Follower Access at any time.

4.1.3. Supporter Invitations and Contact Details. A Student may suggest a Supporter by first name or label only (for example, “Grandma”). The Student may not enter a Supporter’s email address, telephone number, or other contact details. All Supporter contact details are entered by the Account Administrator from the Account Administrator’s own account. This ensures that the Service does not collect an adult’s Personal Information from a Student.

4.1.4. Scope of Consent. The parent approval step discloses, and the authorizing parent or legal guardian’s authorization covers, both (a) the collection and use of the Student’s information to run the Fundraiser, and (b) the ability of approved Supporters to view the Student’s page and reading activity through Follower Access.

5. Licenses

5.1. License to Use the Service. Subject to your compliance with this Agreement, ReadaFun grants you a limited, terminable, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Site and the Services solely as permitted in this Agreement. All rights not expressly granted are reserved to ReadaFun. ReadaFun may terminate your access as reasonably necessary to comply with legal requirements, to protect the Site, or if you misuse the Site or violate this Agreement.

5.2. Limited License to Operate the Service. You grant ReadaFun a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, copy, display, transmit, store, and use the content you upload through the Service, such as a Student’s reading log, reviews, and answers to reading questions, solely as necessary to operate and provide the Service to you and, where applicable, to the School. This license is limited to operating the Service. ReadaFun does not use Student content or Student Personal Information for advertising or marketing, does not sell it, and does not use it for any other commercial purpose. This license ends when the relevant content is deleted or the account is closed, except for reasonable backup copies retained for a limited period.

5.3. Aggregate and De-Identified Information. ReadaFun may use aggregate or de-identified information that does not identify any Student to operate, maintain, and improve the Service. ReadaFun does not use such information to re-identify any Student and does not use it for advertising or any other commercial purpose that would exceed the limits of this Agreement or the Privacy Policy.

6. Conditions of Use

6.1. You are solely responsible for all content you upload or transmit through the Service. You agree not to use the Service to:

6.1.1. upload content that infringes any intellectual property or other right, that poses a privacy or security risk to any person, that contains malicious code, or that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable;

6.1.2. send unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional material, “spam,” or any other form of solicitation;

6.1.3. interfere with or disrupt the Service or the networks connected to it;

6.1.4. violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation;

6.1.5. impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity;

6.1.6. contact a Student for whom you were not approved as a Supporter, or otherwise solicit Personal Information from any person under the age of eighteen;

6.1.7. harvest or collect email addresses or other contact information of users from the Service;

6.1.8. advertise or offer to buy or sell any goods or services for any business purpose; or

6.1.9. access or attempt to access any materials or information not intentionally made available through the Service.

6.2. A Supporter invitation link is confidential and intended only for the recipient to whom it is sent. Any unauthorized disclosure, copying, or distribution of a Supporter invitation link is prohibited.

6.3. Supporter Conduct. If you access the Service as a Supporter, you agree not to copy, post, or otherwise transmit any information about a Student that you access through Follower Access. You agree to treat the Student with respect, not to harass or abuse the Student, and to provide positive encouragement. You may access only the Student(s) you were approved to support.

6.4. Account Administrator Responsibility. An Account Administrator is responsible for approving Supporters, for supplying Supporter contact details, and for monitoring communications between approved Supporters and its associated Students. ReadaFun does not control or monitor those communications.

6.5. No Off-Platform Solicitation. You agree not to use the Service to make contact with Supporters and then complete fundraising by soliciting or accepting donations outside the Service. Any violation is grounds for immediate termination.

6.6. Commercial Use. Except as expressly authorized in this Agreement or the Service, you agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, or exploit any portion of the Service for any commercial purpose.

7. Financial Provisions

7.1. Fees. We may charge set-up fees when Account Owners create Fundraisers, school pages, classroom pages, or premium features (the “Set-Up Fee”), and we collect a percentage (20% or less, depending on the status of the Account Owner) of the funds raised through a Fundraiser (the “Service Fee”). Applicable fees are disclosed at the time of the transaction. The balance of funds raised, less the payment processor’s fee, is paid to the corresponding School.

7.2. Pledge Fulfillment. The Service does not collect credit card, bank account, or other personally identifiable financial information. A third-party payment processor collects all financial information and facilitates payment, subject to the processor’s own terms and privacy policy. If you access the Service as a Supporter, you represent that the payment information you supply to the processor is true and complete, that your payments will be honored, and that you will pay for all pledges made under your credentials.

7.3. Pledge Failure. ReadaFun does not control the completion of any pledge and is not responsible if a Supporter fails to fulfill a pledge. The Account Owner and Account Administrator are responsible for any related communications, which must comply with this Agreement and applicable law.

8. Authorization by School or School Organization

8.1. Intermediary for Consent. If you enter this Agreement on behalf of a School or School Organization, you agree that the School or School Organization acts as the intermediary between ReadaFun and parents and legal guardians in the notice-and-consent process for the collection of Personal Information from Students in the school context. You represent, on behalf of the School or School Organization, that it complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), where applicable, and has communicated its acceptable-use policies to parents.

8.2. Authority to Consent; Warranty. The party signing this Agreement represents and warrants that it is authorized to provide, and does provide, school authorization for the collection of Students’ Personal Information for the limited purpose described in this Agreement, and that it has the authority to act on behalf of the School for that purpose. Where the signing party is a School Organization rather than the School or district, it further represents and warrants that it has obtained the School’s authorization to act, so that the chain of authority runs from the School, to the School Organization, to the parent. This warranty is a condition of ReadaFun’s reliance on school authorization.

8.3. Parent Approval Remains Required. The authorization in this Section does not replace the parent approval step. Regardless of who signs this Agreement, a Student’s account remains a Tracking Account, and the Student cannot fundraise, until the Student’s parent or legal guardian provides authorization at the parent approval step. The parent approval step is the primary basis on which the Student’s participation in fundraising and any Follower Access proceed, and the warranty in Section 8.2 is a supporting protection and not a substitute for it.

8.4. Limitation on Use. All Personal Information collected from Students may be used only by and for the benefit of the School and to run the Fundraiser, and for no other commercial purpose. ReadaFun does not use Student Personal Information for advertising or marketing, does not sell it, and does not build or share profiles of Students for any commercial purpose. ReadaFun’s collection, use, and disclosure of Student Personal Information is described in the Privacy Policy.

8.5. District Signature for Certain Accounts. For larger or higher-profile Schools, or where a School or district requires it, ReadaFun may require that the School or district, rather than a School Organization, sign this Agreement or a separate data privacy agreement. Where a signed data privacy agreement applies to an account, its terms govern to the extent they conflict with this Agreement or the Privacy Policy.

9. Intellectual Property Rights

9.1. Service Content. The Service contains content and features protected by intellectual property rights. Except as expressly authorized, you agree not to modify, copy, frame, scrape, sell, distribute, or create derivative works from the Service or its content, other than your own content that you lawfully upload. You agree not to reverse engineer or attempt to derive the source code of the software underlying the Service, and not to use the Service to build a competing reading-based fundraising service.

9.2. Trademarks. The ReadaFun name and logos are trademarks of ReadaFun. Nothing in this Agreement grants you any right to use them without our prior written permission.

9.3. Your Content. You represent that you own or have the necessary rights to the content you upload. You must not include, and must ensure your associated Students do not include, any Personal Information on the Site in violation of applicable law or the Site’s parameters.

9.4. Feedback. Any suggestions, ideas, or feedback you provide about the Service are non-confidential, and ReadaFun may use them without acknowledgment or compensation.

10. Third-Party Websites and Content

10.1. The Service may link to third-party sites and resources that ReadaFun does not control and does not endorse. ReadaFun is not responsible for any third-party site, resource, or content, and any dealings you have with a third party are solely between you and that third party.

11. Indemnity and Release

11.1. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ReadaFun and its affiliates, officers, employees, directors, and agents from any claim, loss, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your use of the Service (and, if you are an Account Administrator, use by your associated Students), your content, or your violation of this Agreement or of any right of another. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, and if you reside elsewhere, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.

12. Disclaimer of Warranties

12.1. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. BOOKWORM DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.

13. Limitation of Liability

13.1. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BOOKWORM WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, OR DATA, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY. IN NO EVENT WILL BOOKWORM’S TOTAL LIABILITY EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID BOOKWORM IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

13.2. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you. If you are dissatisfied with the Service or this Agreement, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue use of the Service.

14. Arbitration

14.1. At ReadaFun’s or your election, any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Service that is not resolved by mutual agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration before JAMS in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, before a single arbitrator, in accordance with the JAMS rules. The arbitrator may not award damages in excess of, or of a type excluded by, this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in court to avoid immediate and irreparable harm.

15. Termination

15.1. ReadaFun may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate your account or use of the Service, and remove content, for any reason, including if ReadaFun believes you have violated this Agreement. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity may be referred to law enforcement. Upon termination, all provisions of this Agreement that by their nature should survive, including definitions, disclaimers, indemnification obligations, limitations of liability, and general terms, will survive.

16. General

16.1. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and ReadaFun regarding the Service and supersedes any prior agreement on that subject, except that a signed data privacy agreement applicable to an account governs to the extent of any conflict. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and ReadaFun submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. ReadaFun’s failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision. If any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Any claim relating to the Service or this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after it arises or be permanently barred. You may not assign this Agreement without ReadaFun’s prior written consent, but ReadaFun may assign it without restriction.

16.2. Your Privacy. We respect the privacy of our users. Please review our Privacy Policy, the terms of which are incorporated into this Agreement. You confirm that you have read the Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.

16.3. Notice for California Users. Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California users are entitled to the following notice: The Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs may be contacted in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (916) 445-1254 or (800) 952-5210. You may contact us at ReadaFun, P.O. Box 506, Ardmore, PA 19003.

16.4. Contact. Please contact us at info@readafun.com to report any violation of this Agreement or to ask any question about this Agreement or the Service.

SELECTING “I ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS” IS THE LEGAL EQUIVALENT OF YOUR SIGNATURE ON A WRITTEN CONTRACT AND IS EQUALLY BINDING. YOU MUST AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT AND USE THE SERVICE.
