Introduction

Welcome to JuniorU.com (collectively, "Junior U", "we" or "this website"), a social networking application whose core is built around the common school system. By using this website, a service of Junior U, Inc., you are agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions (collectively, "Terms of Service" or "these terms").

This Terms of Service Agreement sets forth the legally binding terms for your use of JuniorU.com. By using JuniorU.com you accept and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions. Junior U, Inc. reserves the right, at our sole discretion, to update, amend and/or modify these terms without notice. It is your responsibility to review these terms periodically, and if any time you find anything unacceptable you must stop use of JuniorU.com.

Eligibility / Registration

Any K-12 teacher is eligible to register for the site through our main registration form. These teachers will be verified by phone by a Junior U representative. All k-12 students and parents of registered students MUST be registered by a verified teacher. There is no way around this, as we are entrusting our teachers to ensure that all users are, in fact, students and parents.

All teachers should provide true, accurate and complete registration information to become a member of JuniorU.com and are responsible for completing true and accurate registration information for their students and their parents. As a part of the registration process, teachers will be asked to provide their name, a valid email address, and their school name (many searchable by zip code). Once complete, they will be called by Junior U administration and be subject to a verification process.

Once registered, teachers are able to sign up students to the site by providing each student's name, email address, and a valid birth date. The birth date is to make sure that no student may communicate with any other student more or less than 2 years of age from them without a parent's permission. Parents may be signed up for each student by providing the parent's name and email address.

Any adult found posing as a k-12 student will not only have their account terminated but the local police authorities will be notified. This is a very serious matter and Junior U administration will work tirelessly to keep JuniorU.com safe for all parties involved.
