These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Work It In (“Work It In,” “we,” “us”) for use of the Work It In learning hub and related services (the “Service”). If you do not agree, do not create an account or use the Service.

1. Who may use the Service

You must provide accurate registration information and keep your password confidential. If you are under the age of majority where you live, a parent or legal guardian must approve your use and may manage or close your account. Educators and community founders are responsible for how they invite and supervise members in their community — and for obtaining any consent their program requires.

2. Accounts, communities, and roles

Work It In supports educational communities (teacher-led groups) and family household use, as offered on our plans page.

When you register with a community, access may stay limited until a community educator approves you. Founding educators control their community name, join password, member approvals, and day-to-day teaching tools. You must not share join passwords outside your intended group or attempt to access another community without permission.

You are responsible for activity under your account. Notify us promptly if you believe your account has been misused.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

use the Service for unlawful, harmful, harassing, or fraudulent activity; upload malware or content you do not have rights to share; attempt to break security, scrape bulk data, or disrupt the Service; impersonate others or misrepresent your role; or use the Service to collect personal information from others without proper authority and consent.

4. Your content and ownership

You own your content. Work you upload (assignments, files, comments, and similar materials) remains yours. You grant Work It In only a limited license to host, process, display, and back up that content solely as needed to operate the Service for you and your community or household — not to monetize it, license it, or train models on it. Educators and approved community members may see content only according to their role in the Service. Do not upload materials you are not allowed to share. We may remove content that violates these Terms or applicable law. Portability and deletion are described in the Privacy Policy.

5. Pledge of non-interference (no profiling, no manipulation)

The Service is a tool for the user, not a platform for engineering behaviour. We will not use your data, metadata, or usage patterns to psychologically profile you, score you for advertising, manipulate engagement, or “nudge” you toward commercial or political outcomes. We do not run behavioural advertising on the Service. Learning features (progress, assignments, reminders you request) exist to support study — not to harvest attention or sell influence.

6. Plans, fees, and changes

Features depend on the plan you select. Prices shown on the site are indicative until confirmed at signup or by sales agreement. Paid plans renew according to the billing terms presented at purchase. We may change plans or prices with reasonable notice for the next billing period. Optional tutoring or session bookings, if offered, are separate from subscription seats and, when used, are user-initiated transactions under the Privacy Policy’s limited sharing rules.

7. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy is part of how we operate. It defines User Data narrowly, requires data minimization, prohibits sale and broad third-party sharing, guarantees export and deletion rights, and describes how we handle government requests. By using the Service, you acknowledge that processing described there is limited to what is necessary to provide the hub you asked for.

8. Service availability

We aim for reliable access but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may update, suspend, or discontinue features with reasonable care. Scheduled maintenance or circumstances beyond our control may temporarily limit access.

9. Disclaimers of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS,” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties not expressly stated in these Terms, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. Work It In is a learning tool; it does not replace professional educational, medical, or legal advice. We do not warrant that the Service will be continuous, secure, or free of error, or that content will never be lost — though we will not use those limits as an excuse for wilful misconduct or gross negligence where the law forbids it.

10. Limitation of liability

Except where law does not allow limitation, our total liability for claims arising from the Service is limited to the fees you paid us for the Service in the twelve (12) months before the claim, or CAD $100 if you paid nothing. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages (including lost data or lost learning opportunities) to the extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot be waived under consumer protection or privacy law, or liability for fraud, personal injury, or other matters that law does not allow us to exclude.

11. Disputes — your choice of forum (not forced arbitration)

We respect your right to self-defence and a day in court. We do not force you into binding arbitration that strips class or public rights as a condition of using the Service.

Small claims: You always retain the right to bring an individual claim in small claims court in a jurisdiction that can hear it, if the claim qualifies.

Optional arbitration: Either party may offer to resolve a dispute through binding arbitration under a mutually agreed neutral ruleset (for example, a recognized commercial arbitration body in Ontario). Arbitration proceeds only if you agree in writing after the dispute arises. If you decline, either party may pursue the dispute in the courts of Ontario (or another court with proper jurisdiction), subject to applicable law. This clause is intended to be user-friendly, not a one-way corporate shield.

12. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and may request account and data deletion as described in the Privacy Policy. We may suspend or close accounts that violate these Terms, create security risk, or are used to harm others. Community educators may remove members from their community. Sections that by nature should survive (including disclaimers, liability limits, and dispute terms) continue after termination.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date above will change when we do. Material changes will be highlighted on this page or by notice in the Service. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and request deletion of your account.

14. Contact and governing law

Questions about these Terms: use our Contact page. Governing law: the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, unless mandatory local consumer or privacy law requires otherwise.
