Teacher Agreement

1. Who can create a teacher account

Noodlet is for professional educators — teachers, teaching assistants, and other school staff — at accredited schools and educational institutions. By creating an account you confirm that you are a professional educator at such an institution and that you are using Noodlet for educational purposes within that role.

If your circumstances change (for example you leave your school), you remain responsible for any lessons and class data on your account until you delete them or transfer them to a colleague.

2. Your content responsibilities

You are responsible for every lesson you publish to your students, whether you wrote it yourself or it was generated with AI assistance. Before assigning any lesson you must review it to make sure it is:

• accurate and appropriate for your students' age and learning level;
• free from harmful, offensive, or misleading content;
• compliant with your school's policies on content and acceptable use; and
• something you have the right to use (for example, third-party images or text).

AI-generated lessons are provided as a starting point. Noodlet makes no guarantee about their accuracy, completeness, or suitability. The professional judgement to publish a lesson rests with you.

You must not publish content that violates any law or regulation, infringes third-party intellectual property rights, or could place students at risk of harm. We may remove content that breaches these rules and suspend or close the account responsible.

3. Student data — you are the controller

When you add students to a class on Noodlet you are acting as (or on behalf of) the data controller for those students' personal data. Noodlet processes that data on your behalf as a data processor.

This means you are responsible for:

• ensuring you have the appropriate authority from your school and, where required by law, consent from parents or guardians to enrol students in Noodlet;
• only adding students who are genuinely enrolled in your class — not sharing class codes publicly or with people outside your school;
• informing students and their parents or guardians about their use of the platform in line with your school's data protection policies;
• responding to any requests from students or parents to access, correct, or delete their data (contact us and we will assist you); and
• notifying us promptly if you become aware of a data breach involving student data on Noodlet.

4. Students under 13 — COPPA (United States)

Under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), operators of online services directed at children must obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13. Noodlet relies on the school consent exception: when a teacher enrols students under 13, the teacher acts as the agent of the parent, consenting on the parent's behalf.

You are solely responsible for:

• providing all required COPPA notices and disclosures to parents in a format appropriate for your school;
• acting as the agent of the parent and consenting on their behalf when enrolling students under 13;
• ensuring parents have a means to review, correct, or request deletion of their child's personal data; and
• notifying us immediately if a parent withdraws consent, so we can discontinue that student's access.

Noodlet is not liable for your failure to consult your school's administrators or to provide school consent where it is required.

5. UK data protection and FERPA (US)

United Kingdom

If you are based in the United Kingdom, your use of Noodlet is also governed by UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. In addition to the obligations in section 3:

• Your school must have a lawful basis for processing students' personal data via Noodlet (typically public task or legitimate interests).
• We will sign a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with your school on request. Contact us at [email protected].
• Noodlet is designed in line with the ICO's Children's Code (Age Appropriate Design Code). Student accounts are created and managed by teachers; students do not register directly.

United States — FERPA

Student data held on Noodlet may constitute education records under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). For FERPA purposes, Noodlet acts as a school official with a legitimate educational interest in performing services on your school's behalf. Your school is responsible for:

• ensuring the school official exemption applies and is properly documented;
• including Noodlet as a school official in your school's Annual Notification of FERPA Rights to parents; and
• you are solely responsible for providing any required notices and obtaining or providing parental consent under FERPA and COPPA when relying on school consent.

6. Other jurisdictions

Noodlet is available to educators worldwide. Wherever you are based, you and your school remain responsible for complying with the data protection and children's privacy laws that apply to you, and you confirm that you have the lawful basis and any consents those laws require before enrolling students in Noodlet.

The COPPA obligations in section 4 and the UK and FERPA obligations in section 5 apply where they are relevant to you. Where your local regime imposes additional requirements — for example parental-consent rules, data localisation, or a local representative — meeting them for your class is your and your school's responsibility. If you need a Data Processing Agreement or have a question about a specific jurisdiction, contact us at [email protected].

If you are unable to confirm that you and your school can meet the data protection and children's privacy obligations that apply to you, you must not enrol students in Noodlet.

7. Acceptable use

You must not use Noodlet to:

• create or distribute lessons outside a genuine school or educational setting;
• attempt to circumvent the sandbox, access other users' data, or probe the security of the platform;
• use the platform for commercial gain unrelated to your teaching role;
• share your account credentials with others or allow anyone else to use your account;
• automate access to the platform in ways that exceed reasonable personal use; or
• violate any applicable law, including export controls and sanctions.

8. What Noodlet commits to

In return, we commit to:

• Sandboxing all lesson code. Every lesson runs in an isolated iframe on a separate domain with no network access and no access to student session data.
• Not selling student data. We do not sell, rent, or share student personal data with third parties for advertising or commercial purposes.
• Minimal data collection. We collect what is necessary to deliver the service: account information, class rosters, lesson content, and assignment progress.
• Deletion on request. If you close your account or delete a class, we will delete the associated student data within 90 days except where we are required by law to retain it.
• Security. We maintain reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data against unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure.
• Transparency. We will give at least 30 days' notice of material changes to this agreement, via the platform, before they take effect (see section 14).

9. Intellectual property

You retain ownership of, and copyright in, any original lesson content you create, including its code.

By publishing a lesson on Noodlet you grant us a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, reproduce, display, distribute, and otherwise use that lesson content (including its code) on Noodlet and on partner sites and services, indefinitely. This licence survives the closure of your account, so that lessons already in use can keep working for the classes that rely on them.

Because the licence is non-exclusive, it does not stop you from using, sharing, or publishing your own lessons anywhere else.

AI-generated lesson content is provided under the same licence terms as the underlying AI provider. We will keep this page updated as those terms evolve.

10. Limitation of liability

Noodlet is provided on an "as is" basis. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free. To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability to you in connection with this agreement is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

In no event will either party be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, loss of profits, loss of data, or business interruption, however caused and whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in this agreement limits either party's liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, wilful misconduct, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Noodlet and its officers, directors, and employees from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to:

• your breach of any provision of this agreement;
• your failure to provide required notices or obtain required consents under COPPA, FERPA, or applicable data protection law, including any regulatory action that results;
• any lesson content you create, publish, or assign to students;
• your students' use of the platform to the extent it arises from your acts or omissions; or
• your violation of any applicable law or third-party rights.

12. Force majeure

Neither party is liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond their reasonable control, including natural disasters, government action, changes in law, internet or infrastructure outages, or acts of third parties. The affected party must notify the other promptly and use reasonable efforts to resume performance.

13. General

Entire agreement. This agreement, together with our Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Noodlet regarding its subject matter and supersedes all prior representations, discussions, and agreements.

Severability. If any provision of this agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force.

No waiver. Failure by either party to enforce any provision of this agreement will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision.

Assignment. You may not assign your rights or obligations under this agreement without our prior written consent. We may assign this agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of our assets.

14. Changes to this agreement

We may update this agreement from time to time. We will give at least 30 days' notice of material changes via the platform or email. Continuing to use Noodlet after the effective date means you accept the updated terms. If you do not accept the changes, you may close your account before they take effect.

15. Governing law

This agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with it, wherever you are based.
