Any use or access to the Service by anyone under 13 without consent from their legal guardian is strictly prohibited and in violation of this Agreement. The Service is not available to any Users previously removed from the Service by ReachMyTeach. The LEA is responsible for making sure that users under the age of 18 have obtained consent from their parent or guardian to use the Service. ReachMyTeach provides a template consent form in Exhibit A of the Terms of Service. Unless the LEA provides ReachMyTeach with written notice that a particular parent, guardian or student has objected to the foregoing, such consent will be deemed granted in all cases. It is the duty of the LEA to inform users about their rights related to translation and interpretation.
