Terms of Service

1. Who We Are

Class of Happiness is a social-emotional learning (SEL) platform for teachers, parents, and students, operated as a digital product and service. By accessing or using the Class of Happiness app, website (classofhappiness.com), or any related services (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service.

References to "we", "us", or "our" refer to Class of Happiness. References to "you" refer to any individual or institution accessing the Service.

2. Who Can Use the Service

The Service is intended for:

• Teachers and school staff (aged 18 and over)
• Parents and guardians (aged 18 and over)
• Students under the supervision of a parent, guardian, or teacher

By using the Service, you confirm you are either aged 18 or over, or are a student using the Service under adult supervision and with appropriate consent. Schools and organisations agree to obtain necessary parental consents before adding students to the platform.

3. The Service Is a Supplementary Tool — Not a Clinical Service

4. Accounts and Access

To use the Service you must create an account. You are responsible for:

• Keeping your login credentials secure and confidential
• All activity that occurs under your account
• Ensuring that students or family members added to your account are done so with appropriate consent
• Notifying us promptly if you suspect unauthorised use of your account

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we believe pose a risk to the safety of users, particularly children.

5. Subscriptions and Payment

Class of Happiness offers a free tier and paid subscription plans. Paid plans are billed monthly depending on the plan selected.

• Free trial: New users may access a free trial period using a trial code. Trial periods are subject to change.
• Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. No refunds are issued for the current period.
• School packages: Institutional packages are governed by a separate agreement and invoiced directly.
• Price changes: We will give reasonable notice of any pricing changes before they take effect.

Payments are processed securely by Stripe. We do not store your payment card details. By subscribing, you also agree to Stripe's Terms of Service.
