Last Updated: February 12, 2025

We welcome your comments or questions about these Terms and Conditions. If you have any questions or concerns about our policies, please contact us in writing by email, postal mail, or our online contact form. If any of the Terms and Conditions seem problematic for your intended use in an educational setting, please contact us and we will gladly work with you in an attempt to resolve your concerns with revised terms. Our policies are intended to protect the services we provide, protect the information stored on our servers (including personal information of our users), protect our intellectual property rights, ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, limit misuse of our services, and limit our liabilities.

Saga Education (a trade name of SAGA Innovations, Inc., also referred to herein as “Saga” or “we,” “us,” “our”) operates as a not-for-profit business in the United States and offers educational software, websites, and applications , including but not limited to Saga Connect, Saga Coach, and Woot Math, (collectively the “Service” or “Services”).
The Services are fully controlled and operated by Saga Education. By accessing the Services, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions (the Agreement). If you do not agree to these terms, you must not use the Services. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add to, or otherwise alter these Terms and Conditions at any time. If we make any material changes to our Terms and Conditions, we will place a prominent notice within the Services. If the change materially affects registered users, we will send notice by email or any other means we have to personally contact those users. Your continued use of the Services following the posting of changes and/or modifications will constitute your acceptance of the revised Terms and Conditions and the Privacy Policy, incorporated herein by reference.

All Service software, designs, text, images, photographs, illustrations, audio clips, video clips, artwork, graphic material, or other copyrightable elements, and the selection and arrangements thereof, and trademarks, service marks and trade names (the “Materials”) are the property of Saga Education and/or its subsidiaries, affiliates, assigns, licensors or other respective owners, and are protected, without limitation, pursuant to U.S. and foreign copyright and trademark laws.

Users are not permitted or authorized to copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, or distribute Materials (or any portion thereof) in any way or by any means, except that you may download and make appropriately limited copies of appropriately limited portions of the Materials only for (i) your personal, noncommercial use (ii) for use in your work as a professional educator (iii) for uses allowed under our User Generated Content Policy for Teacher Accounts (iv) in a published review or periodical article about a Service, or (v) in a textbook or other educational materials, provided you include “Copyright Saga Education; Used With Permission” on every object containing copyrightable elements and you keep intact other proprietary notices. Modification of Materials or use of Materials for any other purpose is a violation of Saga’s copyright and other proprietary rights. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, use of any Materials in any unauthorized manner (including, without limitation, on webpages or sites that contain paid or free advertisements, third-party endorsements of any kind or nature (including without limitation, endorsements of a religious, political, or social orientation nature), promotions, products, services, or other inappropriate content) is strictly prohibited. Saga Education hereby grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-assignable, revocable, non-transferable license to use and display, for noncommercial and personal use only, appropriately limited copies of appropriately limited portions of the Materials that are downloadable from this Site, provided that the notice “Copyright Saga, Education; Used With Permission” accompanies all copyrightable Materials. You agree not to reproduce, modify, or create derivative works from, display, perform, publish, distribute, disseminate, broadcast, sell, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or circulate any Materials to any third party (including, without limitation, display and distribute the Materials via a third party website) without Saga’s express prior written consent. Unauthorized or prohibited exploitation of Materials may subject the offender to civil liability and criminal prosecution under applicable federal and state laws.

To the extent that portions of the Services provide users an opportunity to post and/or exchange information, ideas, and opinions (“Postings”), please be advised that Postings do not necessarily reflect the views of Saga Education. Although we periodically monitor posted information, in no event does Saga assume or have any responsibility or liability for any Postings or for any claims, damages or losses resulting from their use and/or appearance on or in conjunction with the Services or elsewhere. Thus, users remain solely responsible for the content of their messages and postings. Nonetheless, we will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the Postings serve the best interests of all users and, therefore, we reserve the right to edit, delete, or refuse to publish any Posting that violates these Terms and Conditions, as well as revoke the privileges of any user who does not comply with these Terms and Conditions.
You agree to use only standard web browsers, such as Apple’s Safari, Google’s Chrome, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, or Mozilla’s Firefox to upload or download any Materials to or from the Site. You agree not to use any automated tools to upload or download any data from the Site. You further understand and agree that any such unauthorized access to or use of the Site and the Materials will serve as conclusive evidence of an attempt on your part to reverse engineer the Materials and/or to encroach upon Saga’s various intellectual property rights, and, as such, subject you to civil liability and/or criminal prosecutions under applicable federal and state laws.

The Services and all materials contained in them are distributed and transmitted on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, Saga disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including, without limitation, warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Saga does not warrant that the functions contained in the Services or Materials will be uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the Services or the servers that make them available are free from harmful components. Applicable law may not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusion may not apply to you.

To the fullest extent permissible pursuant to applicable law, Saga Education, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, representatives, and third party providers of the Services will not be liable for damages of any kind including, without limitation, compensatory, consequential, incidental, indirect, special or similar damages, that may result from the use of, or the inability to use, the materials contained in the Services, whether the material is provided or otherwise supplied by Saga Education or any third party.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Saga Education have any liability to you for any claims, damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) exceeding the amount paid by you, if any, for accessing the Services, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Saga Education.

The appearance of external hyperlinks or other materials generated by third parties (including, in particular, in Postings as defined above) does not constitute an endorsement by Saga, its subsidiaries and affiliates, of the opinions or views expressed by these third-party materials or linked websites. Saga explicitly disclaims any responsibility for the accuracy, content, availability, currency, completeness or quality of the content contained in these materials and sites. Neither Saga Education nor its subsidiaries and affiliates are responsible for any errors or omissions or for the results obtained from the use of such content.

For Services intended for use in school activities, Saga has adopted strict policies with respect to external hyperlinks and third-party materials:

  • None of the web-based application pages that are intended for student usage include any hyperlinks to third-party sites.
  • However, the portions of Services that are intended for use by teachers and parents may include hyperlinks to third-party sites.
  • Saga does not accept, allow, or display third-party advertisements within any of the Services.

That said, Saga encourages discretion when browsing the Internet using anyone’s service. Because some sites employ automated search results or otherwise link to sites containing information that may be deemed illegal, inappropriate or offensive, Saga cannot be held responsible for the accuracy, copyright compliance, legality, or decency of material contained in third-party sites, and you hereby irrevocably waive any claim against us with respect to such sites. You acknowledge that there are various software and other devices available that can limit computer access to sites or content that may be deemed inappropriate or offensive and that you have acquainted yourself with such devices and have availed yourself of their use to the extent that you have any concerns about such content. Thus, under no circumstances will Saga be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or special loss or other damage, whether arising from negligence, breach of contract, defamation, infringement of copyright or other intellectual property rights, caused by the exhibition, distribution or exploitation of any information or content contained within these third party-hyperlinked sites.

Saga Education, for any reason and at its sole discretion, may decide that any person shall be denied access to any part of the Services. By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, you agree to immediately cease and refrain from any attempts to access the Service or Services upon issuance of a denial. If you do not cease and desist, you hereby consent to an injunction to be entered against you by a court of competent jurisdiction, as provided herein, permanently enjoining you from attempting to access the Services.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Saga Education, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, representatives, and third party providers to the Services from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from any violation of these Terms and Conditions by you. Saga Education reserves the right to assume, at its sole expense, the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will fully cooperate with Saga in asserting any available defenses.
Any submission that you make to Saga or the Services, whether through the Services, a web form, email, or any other means (“Your Submission”), will not be treated as confidential or proprietary unless otherwise previously agreed to in writing. You understand and agree that you will not receive any compensation as a consequence of Your Submission. You agree by making a submission that Your Submission may be freely used by Saga Education for any purposes whatsoever. By making a submission, you also agree to these Terms and Conditions.

By applying for a Teacher Account, you represent and warrant that (a) you are a professional educator, teacher, or other school or school district employee; or that (b) you are a parent acting in the role of a teacher for your children (and thus, as used in these terms, will take “teacher” to refer to you and “student” to your children).

User Generated Content: As a teacher, the Services may allow you to create, submit, post, or otherwise share certain types of content, and that content is subject to the following policy and terms, incorporated herein by reference:

Saga Education User Generated Content Policy

For any student accounts that you set up using your Teacher Account, you agree to monitor the students’ use of the Services.

COPPA: Saga complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by virtue of the fact that it is organized as an education nonprofit. Though exempt from oversight by the FTC, Saga nonetheless elects to provide the protections that COPPA would afford to any child visitors through our policies and Terms and Conditions. By policy, Saga limits the collection of Personally Identifiable Information from or about students. Saga makes every effort to limit the collection of information about students to the minimal information necessary to support the ways in which you and your school use the Services. We ask you, the teacher or school administrator, to help us limit what is collected by providing only the information necessary for your use. By creating student accounts and allowing your students to access the Services, you consent to their participation in all related activities and the collection and storage by Saga of any information you provide or they provide.

We believe that, in general, children under 13 should obtain permission from either a teacher or a parent before using any website or web-enabled services. The Services are designed such that younger children will need the assistance of an adult (teacher, tutor, or parent) to access the services. You should understand that, as a teacher or school administrator, you are allowed to act in the role of a parent in granting permission for school activities under the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) guidelines on COPPA.

You agree to moderate your students’ use of the services. If you choose to use any material created by a third party that is shared within the Services, you agree to review it before using it with your students. You agree to promptly notify us about any inappropriate content that you find so that we may delete the content.

FERPA: You understand that Saga Education complies with FERPA through our Terms and Conditions. If you work at a federally funded institution subject to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and use or support the Services there, you agree to support Saga in any way that might be required by FERPA. You understand that FERPA requirements might be triggered if you use the Services to “maintain” “educational records” as those terms are defined under FERPA and as they have been subsequently interpreted by the courts. In particular, since Saga limits its collection of Personally Identifiable Information about students, we often cannot specifically identify student records or directly work with parents or students over eighteen to review, modify, delete, or amend any student records. If you work at a school subject to FERPA, you agree to work with us to identify any student records that may require parental review, modifications, etc., under FERPA.

Saga operates and controls the Services from its offices in the United States of America. Saga makes no representation that the Services are appropriate or available in other locations. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Site from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. Software from the Services is subject to United States export controls. Thus, no Materials or related software may be downloaded, exported or re-exported (a) into (or to a national or resident of) Cuba, Iran, Syria, the Crimea, Iraq, North Korea, Russia, or any other country to which the United States has embargoed goods; or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Deny Orders. By using any Service or downloading any Materials, you represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of, any such country or on any such list.

These Terms and Conditions contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof. The privileges granted to you under this Agreement will terminate immediately and automatically without notice from Saga Education if, in its sole discretion, you fail to comply with any term or provision of these Terms and Conditions. Upon such termination, you must destroy all Materials obtained from this Site (or any other website or source), and all copies thereof, whether or not made under the terms of this Agreement.

The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of Saga Education. Saga may assign this Agreement at its sole discretion at any time, without your consent. In the event that Saga assigns this Agreement, Saga will email all registered users for whom it has email addresses a notification that this Agreement has been assigned. You may not assign any of your rights under this agreement without the express written consent of Saga Education. Any attempted assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void.
If any provision of this Agreement is deemed unenforceable by law, then such provision will be deemed stricken from this Agreement, unless it can be modified by a court so as to render it enforceable consistent with the intent of the Agreement. If any provision is deemed stricken from this Agreement, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

If any other document or agreement is found to be in conflict with any part of this “Terms and Conditions” Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail.

The Terms and Conditions and all matters or issues collateral thereto will be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Massachusetts applicable to contracts executed and performed entirely therein (without regard to any principles of conflicts of laws). You hereby agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions or the site shall be filed only in the state or federal courts located in Middlesex County, in the State of Massachusetts, in the United States of America. Further, you hereby expressly consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action. You hereby agree to only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and not as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action.
