BY ACCESSING OR USING THE TEACHERSANCTIONS.IO WEBSITE, DASHBOARD, OR API (THE “SERVICE”), OR BY CREATING AN ACCOUNT, USING AN API KEY, OR PAYING ANY INVOICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF SERVICE (“TERMS”). IF YOU ARE ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS ON BEHALF OF A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND SUCH ENTITY TO THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT USE THE SERVICE.
teachersanctions.io (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides access to structured data derived from officially published U.S. state educator disciplinary, sanction, revocation, and suspension records (the “Data”). The Service includes the website, dashboard, REST API, and related documentation.
The Data consists solely of information that state education agencies have made publicly available. We do not independently create, verify, or adjudicate the underlying records.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and API keys. You are fully responsible for all activity that occurs under your account or using your API keys, whether or not authorized by you. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use or security breach. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts or keys that we reasonably believe are compromised or misused.
You may use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:
We may suspend or terminate access immediately, without notice or refund, for any violation of this section or our reasonable determination that your use poses a risk to the Service, other users, or third parties.
Fees for the Service are set forth on the Pricing page and may be usage-based (Pay-as-you-go) or prepaid subscription (Enterprise). All fees are non-refundable except as required by law or as expressly stated by us. You authorize us (via Stripe or our payment processor) to charge your designated payment method for all fees due. We may suspend access for failed or late payments. Unpaid amounts may accrue interest and reasonable collection costs (including attorneys’ fees).
Enterprise plans are month-to-month prepaid subscriptions. Changes to credit quantities are governed by the then-current pricing and our update process. We may adjust pricing upon reasonable notice.
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Service and the Data solely for your internal business purposes or to integrate into products or services you provide to your own end users.
All rights not expressly granted are reserved by us. You retain ownership of any software, applications, or content you develop that incorporates the Data (subject to the license restrictions above). We own all right, title, and interest in and to the Service, the API, our technology, and any aggregated or anonymized data derived from use of the Service.
THE SERVICE AND ALL DATA ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, OR RELIABILITY.
We make no representation or warranty that (a) the Data is accurate, complete, current, or free from error; (b) the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free; or (c) the Data or Service will meet your requirements or be suitable for any particular use, including employment screening, licensing, or regulatory compliance.
Critical Notice: The Data consists of public records published by state agencies. Records may be incomplete, outdated, contain errors, or relate to individuals with similar names. You are solely responsible for verifying any information directly with the original state source before relying on it for any purpose. This Service does not constitute a consumer report, background check, risk assessment, or eligibility determination under the FCRA or any other law.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY OR ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE OR DATA, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service or Data; (b) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law; (c) any decision, action, or inaction you take (or fail to take) based on the Data, including employment, licensing, or other decisions; (d) any claim by a third party (including any data subject) arising from your use or disclosure of the Data; or (e) any claim that your use of the Service violates the FCRA or any similar law.
This indemnification obligation shall survive termination of these Terms and your use of the Service.
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including but not limited to violation of these Terms, non-payment, suspected fraud or abuse, or to protect the Service or other users. Upon termination, your right to use the Service and Data ceases immediately. Sections 5–12 shall survive termination.
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in Wilmington, Delaware (or another mutually agreed location). The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
Class Action Waiver: You agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the dispute between you and us individually. You waive any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or other representative proceeding.
Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property or confidential information.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Subject to the arbitration provision above, any legal action shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
These Terms, together with any additional policies referenced herein (including our Privacy Policy), constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements. We may update these Terms at any time; continued use of the Service after the effective date of any update constitutes acceptance. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction. No waiver shall be effective unless in writing.
Notices to you will be sent to the email address associated with your account. Notices to us should be sent to hello@teachersanctions.io.
These Terms are intended to be clear and protective of the Company while providing a useful service. They are not a substitute for independent legal advice.
