Terms of Service

1. Agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and the operator of PepRally (“PepRally,” “we,” “us”) governing your use of the PepRally application at app.peprallyapp.com, the website at peprallyapp.com, and related services (together, the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Who may use PepRally

PepRally is designed for adults: teachers, school staff, and parents or legal guardians. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. The Service is not directed to children, and children may not create accounts. Information about children in the Service is provided by their parents, guardians, or teachers as described in the Privacy Policy.

3. Accounts and roles

Teachers create classrooms and invite families; parents and guardians join a classroom using an invite code and may be subject to teacher approval. Teachers may also invite co-teachers, who have read access to the classroom and may share photos with families. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity under your account. Provide accurate information and notify us at hello@peprallyapp.com of any unauthorized use of your account.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service to harass, threaten, or harm anyone, or to post unlawful, abusive, or inappropriate content.
• Post photos or information about a child without the authority to do so. For teachers, this includes complying with your school's policies and families' media permissions.
• Join a classroom you are not connected to, share invite codes with people outside the classroom community, or misrepresent your identity or your relationship to a child.
• Attempt to probe, scrape, reverse engineer, or interfere with the Service or its security features.

We may remove content or suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

5. Your content

You retain ownership of content you post (announcements, events, messages, photos, and comments). You grant PepRally a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display, and transmit that content solely to operate and improve the Service — for example, showing a photo to the families in your classroom or delivering an announcement email. You represent that you have the rights and permissions needed for anything you post, including photos of children. This license ends when the content is deleted from the Service, except as needed for legal compliance or routine backups.

6. Photos of children

Photo sharing is limited to the classroom community. Teachers are responsible for following their school's media-consent practices before posting student photos. A parent or guardian may request removal of any photo of their child by contacting the teacher or emailing hello@peprallyapp.com, and we will act promptly on such requests.

7. Shopping links and affiliate disclosure

Supply lists and other features may contain links to third-party retailers. As an Amazon Associate, PepRally earns from qualifying purchases made through those links, at no additional cost to you. Purchases are made from the retailer under its own terms and policies; we are not responsible for third-party products, pricing, or fulfillment.

8. Communications

The Service sends transactional emails and in-app notifications as part of its core function — for example, event reminders, weekly digests, announcement emails, and approval notices. You can adjust certain notification settings in the app; some service and account messages are not optional while you have an account.

9. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, logos, and branding, is owned by PepRally and protected by law. These Terms do not grant you any right to use the PepRally name or marks.

10. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

PepRally is a communication tool; we do not guarantee the delivery or timing of any message, reminder, or email, and the Service is not a substitute for official school communications or emergency notification systems.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PEPRALLY WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100) OR THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification

You will indemnify and hold PepRally harmless from claims arising out of your content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms, including any claim that content you posted about a child was posted without proper authority.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service and request account deletion at any time by emailing hello@peprallyapp.com. We may suspend or terminate access for violations of these Terms or to protect the Service or its users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5, 10, 11, 12, and 14) survive.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of these Terms or the Service will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Georgia, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If changes are material, we will notify you (for example, by email or in-app notice) and ask you to agree again where required. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
