Terms of Service

Using Daystage

Daystage provides newsletter tools for educators. You must be 18 or older to create an account. You are responsible for the content you create and send, and for every subscriber list you upload or connect. You may only use Daystage to contact people who have affirmatively asked to hear from you (such as the parents, students, or staff at your school) and only up to the number of contacts and emails your plan allows.

Your content

You own the content you create in Daystage. By using the service, you grant us a limited license to store, display, and deliver that content as needed to operate the platform. We do not claim ownership of your newsletters.

Spam and acceptable use

"Spam" means directly or indirectly sending content to any address that has not solicited it and does not consent to receive it. This includes unwanted commercial content, content designed to drive traffic to or boost the search rankings of a third-party site, and content that furthers an unlawful act such as phishing or that misleads recipients about who sent it, such as impersonating a company, court, government agency, or financial institution.

You agree not to use Daystage to send spam, and not to upload, import, or connect any subscriber list that was purchased, rented, scraped, or otherwise assembled without the recipients' direct, informed consent. You also agree not to:

• Send content that infringes another party's rights, or that is libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, or threatens or incites violence;
• Send phishing content, malware, or content designed to obtain financial information, credentials, or payment under false pretenses;
• Impersonate any person, business, school, or institution, or misrepresent your affiliation with one;
• Disclose or breach any confidentiality obligation you owe to a student, parent, colleague, or school;
• Violate any applicable law, including anti-spam laws such as CAN-SPAM; or
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the service, or exceed the sending or contact limits of your plan.

Suspension and termination

We may immediately suspend or terminate your access to Daystage, without prior notice, at our reasonable discretion, if your account is used in a way that is inappropriate, violates this Agreement or any Daystage policy, violates applicable law or the rights of a third party, or is otherwise harmful or objectionable — including, without limitation, sending spam, phishing, or other prohibited content. We may remove or take down any content associated with a suspended account, including published newsletters and imported subscriber lists. No refund will be provided for any amounts already paid in the event of suspension or termination.

Free and paid plans

Free plan limits are subject to change with reasonable notice. Paid plans are billed in advance. Refunds are not provided for partial billing periods. You may cancel at any time and your plan will remain active through the end of the billing period.

Service availability

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uptime. We are not liable for losses caused by downtime or service interruptions. We may modify or discontinue features with reasonable notice.

Limitation of liability

Daystage is provided as-is. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service. Our total liability to you will not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We will notify you by email or in-app notice before significant changes take effect. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance.
