Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the The Advocate Ally website and services operated by The Advocate Ally ("us", "we", or "our").
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the terms, you may not access the Service.
The Advocate Ally provides automated, AI-powered forensic analysis of educational documents ("Services"). We are not a law firm, and our Services do not constitute legal advice. The insights, reports, and content provided are for informational and advocacy purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional legal counsel.
When you create an account with us, you must provide information that is accurate, complete, and current. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of the Terms, which may result in immediate termination of your account.
You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Service and for any activities or actions under your password.
You agree not to use the Service to:
Redaction: You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for redacting sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) from documents before uploading them, or you maintain the necessary rights and consents to process such data.
If you use the Service as a teacher, administrator, school employee, contractor, or institutional representative, you represent that you are authorized to use the Service for that professional purpose and to submit any records you upload. You may not upload student records merely because you can access them; you must have a permitted role-based reason and follow applicable school or district policies.
These Terms do not by themselves authorize a school or district deployment involving student education records. The Advocate Ally may require a written order form, data protection addendum, school agreement, or other institutional terms before that use begins. If a signed written agreement conflicts with these Terms, the signed agreement controls for that institutional use.
Reports, summaries, suggestions, and alerts are support tools only. They do not replace the official IEP or 504 process, qualified professional judgment, school decision-making, legal review, or individualized consideration of a student.
You may not direct children to create accounts, submit personal information, or use the Service as a student-facing tool unless The Advocate Ally has expressly authorized that deployment and the required notices, permissions, and agreements are in place.
Additional school and educator terms apply to professional and institutional use. See our School & Educator Terms.
The Service and its original content (excluding content provided by users), features, and functionality are and will remain the exclusive property of The Advocate Ally and its licensors.
We may terminate or suspend access to our Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach the Terms.
Read Carefully:
In no event shall The Advocate Ally, its directors, employees, partners, agents, suppliers, or affiliates, be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (i) your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Service; (ii) any conduct or content of any third party on the Service; (iii) any content obtained from the Service; and (iv) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence) or any other legal theory, whether or not we have been informed of the possibility of such damage.
Total Liability: Our total liability to you for any claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services is limited to the amount you paid us to use the Services in the past 12 months, or $100 if you have not paid us anything.
Your use of the Service is at your sole risk. The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. The Service is provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or course of performance.
We do not warrant that the results obtained from the use of the Service will be accurate, reliable, or legally binding.
These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
