Terms of Service & Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 1, 2025

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of ClassObjectives.com (the "App"). By creating an account, logging in, or otherwise using the App, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the App.

The App is operated by Mark Johnston ("we," "us," or "our"). Contact: [email protected].

We may update these Terms at any time by posting a revised version and updating the "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the App means you accept the changes.

Terms of Service

1. User Accounts and Authentication

Account Registration: To use the App, you must create an account using Google OAuth. Other login providers may be added in the future. You must keep your account information accurate and up to date.

Account Security: You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized use.

Eligibility: You must be at least 13 years old (see Section 2). By creating an account, you affirm you meet eligibility requirements.

2. Age Restrictions (COPPA Compliance)

3. Service Availability and Data Responsibility

ClassObjectives is an evolving educational platform. Features, functionality, and user interfaces may be updated, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice as we continue to improve our services.

Data Backup Responsibility: While we implement industry-standard security measures and regular backups, you are solely responsible for maintaining your own backups of any critical content or data stored within the App. We strongly recommend regularly exporting or copying important information such as learning objectives, schedules, and class configurations.

No Liability for Data Loss: We are not responsible for any lost, corrupted, inaccessible, or deleted data regardless of the cause, including but not limited to system failures, maintenance activities, software updates, security incidents, or user error. You acknowledge and accept this risk by using our service.

4. User Responsibilities and Content

4a. Report Generation and Document Creation

Report Generation Features

Educational Reporting Tools: ClassObjectives provides automated report generation capabilities that compile your educational content (learning objectives, class schedules, and related materials) into formatted documents. These reports are designed to support educational planning, administrative requirements, and professional documentation needs.

Report Formats and Availability

Multiple Format Support: Generated reports may be available in various formats including PDF, Microsoft Word (DOCX), and integration with external document services. The availability of specific formats may vary based on your subscription level, technical capabilities, and third-party service availability.

User Responsibility for Generated Reports

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR:

Report Generation Limitations

No Guarantee of Availability: Report generation is a complex technical process that may occasionally fail due to system limitations, data formatting issues, or third-party service dependencies. We do not guarantee that reports will always generate successfully or be available for download at all times.

Data Retention for Reports

Temporary Storage: Generated reports may be temporarily cached on our servers to improve performance and user experience. Cached reports may be automatically deleted after a reasonable period to manage storage resources. You are responsible for downloading and maintaining your own copies of important reports.

4b. Google Drive and Google Docs Integration

Third-Party Service Integration

Google Services Integration: ClassObjectives may offer integration with Google services, including Google Drive and Google Docs, to enhance document creation and sharing capabilities. This integration requires you to grant specific permissions to ClassObjectives through Google's OAuth authorization process.

Required Permissions and Scopes

Authorized Access: To use Google integration features, you must explicitly authorize ClassObjectives to access specific Google services on your behalf. The permissions may include:

YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR:

Troubleshooting and Support for Google Integration

Limited Support Scope: Our support for Google integration is limited to the ClassObjectives side of the integration. For issues related to Google account access, Google Drive functionality, or Google Docs features, you may need to contact Google support directly.

Revocation of Google Access

Right to Revoke: You may revoke ClassObjectives' access to your Google account at any time through your Google account security settings. Revocation will immediately disable Google integration features but will not affect other ClassObjectives functionality.

Documents Remain Yours: Any Google Docs or files created through ClassObjectives integration remain in your Google account and under your control, even if you revoke integration permissions.

8. "Unlimited" Services and Fair Use Policy

Definition of "Unlimited" Services

Certain Premium features are marketed as "unlimited" (such as unlimited AI assists, unlimited classes, or other unlimited features). While we do not impose hard numerical limits on these services under normal usage patterns, all "unlimited" services are subject to our Fair Use Policy and technical limitations.

Fair Use Policy

"Unlimited" does not mean unrestricted or without any limitations. Fair use means usage patterns that are:

Rate Limiting and Usage Controls

We reserve the right to implement rate limiting, usage controls, or temporary restrictions on any "unlimited" service to:

Enforcement and Remedies

If we determine that your usage exceeds fair use guidelines, we may, at our sole discretion:

Examples of Fair vs. Unfair Use
✓ Fair Use Examples:
  • Creating lesson objectives for your teaching schedule
  • Using AI assists for curriculum planning and educational content
  • Setting up classes and schedules for your school year
  • Regular classroom preparation and teaching activities
✗ Unfair Use Examples:
  • Automated scripting or bulk API usage
  • Reselling or sharing access to ClassObjectives features
  • Using services for non-educational commercial purposes
  • Excessive usage that impacts system performance for others

No Refunds for Fair Use Enforcement: Account limitations, rate limiting, or service modifications due to fair use policy violations do not entitle you to refunds or service credits, as the essential educational features remain available within reasonable usage parameters.

9. Service Modifications and Feature Availability

"Coming Soon" and Future Feature Disclaimers

No Guarantee of Future Features: Any features described as "coming soon," "planned," "in development," or similar language on our website, marketing materials, or within the App do not constitute a promise or contractual obligation to deliver such features. We may modify, delay, or cancel planned features at any time without notice or liability.

Your purchase decision should be based solely on features currently available and functional, not on anticipated future developments.

Service and Feature Modifications

Right to Modify Services: We reserve the right, at our sole discretion and without prior notice, to:

Premium Service Definition

Access to Available Features: Premium subscriptions provide access to the collection of enhanced features and capabilities available in the Premium tier at the time of use, not a guarantee of access to any specific individual feature. Premium service value is derived from the overall enhanced experience and the suite of available premium features, which may change over time.

No Refunds for Feature Changes

Continued Service Value: The temporary or permanent removal, modification, or unavailability of individual Premium features does not:

Substantial Service Availability: Your Premium subscription remains valid and valuable as long as the core educational platform and a substantial portion of premium features remain available, even if specific individual features are modified or removed.

Exceptions and Significant Changes

Major Service Reductions: If we permanently remove or disable a substantial majority of Premium features such that the service no longer provides meaningful value over the Free tier, we may, at our sole discretion, offer:

However, normal feature evolution, individual feature removal, temporary unavailability, or changes to specific capabilities do not qualify as major service reductions.

User Remedies

Cancellation Right: If you are dissatisfied with service modifications, your primary remedy is to cancel your subscription, which will prevent future charges while allowing you to use the service through the end of your current billing period.
