ID Attendance Scanner — End User License Agreement

1. Parties

This Agreement is between you, the individual teacher, school, or school district that purchases, activates, or uses a license (“Licensee,” “you”), and John Place, doing business as The Creative Place LLC (“Licensor,” “we,” “us”).

If you are accepting on behalf of a school or district, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization. If you do not have that authority, do not accept this Agreement or activate a key for that organization.

2. The Software

“Software” means ID Attendance Scanner, including the Chrome extension, related files, updates we provide, and accompanying documentation. The Software helps a teacher mark Present, Tardy, or Absent on an attendance website the school already uses when a USB barcode scanner reads a student ID.

ID Attendance Scanner is an independent product and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or officially associated with Focus School Software or any other student information system, school management software provider, or related company. All product names, trademarks, and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

The Software is licensed, not sold. Licensor and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in the Software, including copyright and other intellectual property rights. No ownership in the Software is transferred to you.

3. License grant

Subject to this Agreement and payment of the applicable fees, Licensor grants Licensee a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Software during the license term, solely for classroom or school attendance at Licensee’s school, on the number of computers (seats) paid for.

You may make a reasonable number of copies solely for backup or installation on licensed seats. You may not use the Software to provide a competing attendance product or a hosted service for third parties.

4. Term and seats

Each paid license is valid for one (1) year, beginning on the date of purchase or first successful activation of that key, whichever the order confirmation states. There is no automatic renewal. When the term ends, copies that require a key will stop working until you purchase a new license or a paid renewal is applied.

A teacher license may be used on one computer. A school license may be used on up to the number of computers (seats) paid for at checkout. A district purchase is one or more school keys with the seat counts paid for. Each seat is one computer for that one-year term. Using the Software on more computers than you paid for is a material breach.

If you replace a licensed computer, you may request that the old computer be unbound so the same key can be used on the replacement, within the paid seat count. Licensor may reasonably require proof that the old computer is no longer in use.

5. Activation and license verification

To activate a paid copy, you must enter a valid license key, agree to this Agreement, and allow the Software to contact Licensor’s license server. Verification sends only the license key and an anonymous computer identifier. It does not send student names, student IDs, attendance marks, rosters, or other student personally identifiable information.

A key is not bound to a computer until you activate it. Sharing, posting, or selling keys, or using a key on more seats than paid for, is prohibited. Licensor may refuse, suspend, or revoke a key that was unpaid, obtained by fraud, shared beyond its seat limit, or used to circumvent these terms.

6. Student data and privacy

The Software is not a cloud student information system (SIS). It does not replace your school’s official attendance system. Roster matching and settings stay on the teacher’s computer. Student names and student IDs are not uploaded to Licensor and are not stored by Licensor.

You must not use the Software, or any data it processes, to scrape, harvest, export, or transmit student names, student IDs, or other student education records to the internet or to any third party except as your school already does through the official attendance website you control.

You are responsible for following your school and district policies and applicable student-privacy laws. Licensor does not receive student education records through license verification and is not acting as a school official with respect to those records.

7. License restrictions

Except to the extent applicable law expressly prohibits these limits, you may not: (a) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software; (b) remove or alter proprietary notices; (c) rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, or redistribute the Software or any activation key; (d) circumvent license, seat, or activation controls; (e) use the Software on more computers than you paid for; (f) modify the Software to create a derivative product for others; or (g) use the Software to scrape or send student data to the internet as described above.

Classroom attendance remains your professional responsibility. The Software marks radios or similar controls on the page you already use. It does not press Save for you and does not submit official attendance on your behalf. You must review the roster before you save in your official system.

8. Fees and refunds

License fees are due at checkout in the amount shown for the plan and seat count you select. Prices may change for future purchases. Unless the checkout page states otherwise, licenses do not auto-renew.

The Software and activation keys are digital goods delivered electronically. Except as required by applicable law, fees are non-refundable once a key has been issued, and there is no refund solely because you have not yet installed the Software, changed your mind, or failed to obtain school approval after purchase.

If you were charged in error, the key never arrived, or the Software materially fails to perform its described attendance-marking function and Licensor cannot provide a reasonable fix, contact Licensor through Send feedback on the ID Attendance Scanner website. Do not post student names or student IDs in that message. Refunds, if any, are at Licensor’s reasonable discretion or as required by law, typically limited to the amount you paid for the unused then-current term.

9. Updates and third-party services

Licensor may provide updates. Updates may be required for continued activation. Chrome, Google, your school network, and the attendance website you use are third-party products. Licensor does not control them and is not responsible for their availability, policies, or changes.

A USB barcode scanner is required hardware. Scanner purchase, compatibility, and support are between you and the hardware seller, except that the Software is intended to read keyboard-wedge barcode input.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LICENSOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

Licensor does not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, or compatible with every attendance page, browser version, or scanner, or that it will meet your school’s or district’s requirements. You assume all responsibility for official attendance records you save.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LICENSOR IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOST ATTENDANCE RECORDS, SUBSTITUTE SOFTWARE, OR SCHOOL OR EMPLOYMENT CONSEQUENCES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

LICENSOR’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SOFTWARE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO LICENSOR FOR THE LICENSE TERM IN WHICH THE CLAIM AROSE. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases the limit applies to the fullest extent permitted.

12. Indemnity

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Licensor and its officers, contractors, and agents from reasonable losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of: (a) your misuse of the Software; (b) your sharing, resale, or over-use of keys beyond paid seats; (c) your violation of this Agreement, school or district policy, or law; or (d) any transmission of student data you cause other than the license-key and anonymous-computer-id verification described above.

This indemnity does not require you to indemnify Licensor for claims that the unmodified Software, as provided by Licensor, infringes a third party’s copyright, to the extent such a claim is not caused by your combination of the Software with other materials or your breach of this Agreement.

13. Term, suspension, and termination

This Agreement remains in effect for the license term unless terminated earlier. Licensor may suspend or terminate the license if you materially breach this Agreement, if payment is reversed or not completed, or if continued use would violate law. You may stop using the Software at any time. Upon expiry or termination you must stop using paid copies until a new valid key is issued. Sections that by their nature should survive (including ownership, privacy restrictions, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, and governing law) survive termination.

14. Export

The Software may be subject to United States export laws. You represent that you are not located in, and will not use the Software in, a country or by a person prohibited under U.S. export or sanctions rules. You will not export or re-export the Software except as permitted by law.

15. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or a license key without Licensor’s prior written consent, except that a school or district may assign a still-valid license to a successor entity that continues the same paid seats. Any other attempted assignment is void. Licensor may assign this Agreement to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of assets related to the Software.

16. Governing law and venue

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules that would apply another state’s law. The parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts of competent jurisdiction in the State of Florida for disputes arising out of this Agreement or the Software, except that Licensor may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect the Software or license keys.

If you are a public school or district and a mandatory venue or sovereign-immunity statute applies to you, that statute controls only to the extent it cannot be waived, and the remainder of this Agreement still applies.

17. Entire agreement; severability; waiver

This Agreement, together with the checkout page and order confirmation for your purchase, is the entire agreement between you and Licensor about the Software. It supersedes prior oral or written statements about licensing the Software. Licensor’s website marketing copy is not a separate warranty.

If a court finds a provision unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable, and the rest of the Agreement remains in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. A waiver must be in writing to be effective, and a waiver of one breach is not a waiver of later breaches.

Headings are for convenience only. “Including” means “including without limitation.”

18. Acceptance

You accept this Agreement by checking “I agree to the End User License Agreement,” activating a license key, installing the Software after being presented with this Agreement, or otherwise indicating assent. If you do not agree, do not activate a key and do not use a paid copy of the Software.

19. Contact
