If Licensee has chosen Campus Messenger, then the following terms apply (the “Agreement”):
1. Services
1.1. Infinite Campus, or an authorized third party, (the “Provider”), will provide the Licensee with non-exclusive and non-transferable access to Provider’s telephony engine, which includes an application programming interface accessed through Infinite Campus’ product, which provides a means to create, manage, and send telephone messages to students, parents, legal guardians, school faculty, and school district personnel (cumulatively, the “Services”).
1.2. The Provider will allocate capacity for unlimited messaging based on the number of students enrolled, as certified by the state in which the Licensee is located. The Services will be provisioned in batches of students based on the student count. The Services may be used for an unlimited number of voice and SMS messages if messages are directly related to school business, although after the first year of Services, the Provider reserves the right to institute a monthly limitation on usage for subsequent terms by providing Licensee with written notice at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of then then-current term.
1.3. In emergency circumstances, defined as circumstances when Licensee’s authorized personnel, reasonably and in good faith, believe communication will assist in the elimination or mitigation of physical harm to students, faculty, employees, or invitees, the subscribed capacity may burst to additional paths, which incrementally increases the speed that the messages are disseminated.
2. License and Content
