Teacher and School Administrators Addendum
Last updated: December 21, 2025
This Teacher and School Administrators Addendum ("Addendum") applies when ReadClub's Services are used by or on behalf of a school, school district, or other educational institution that has purchased or authorized access to the Services for students ("Institution"). This Addendum supplements the ReadClub Terms of Service and governs use of the Services by teachers, school administrators, and other authorized educational personnel.
If your Institution has entered into a separate written agreement with ReadClub (such as an order form, master services agreement, or data privacy agreement), that agreement governs in the event of any conflict with this Addendum or the Terms of Service.
1. Definitions
- "Institution" means a school, school district, or educational organization that has purchased or authorized use of the Services.
- "Authorized Educator" means a teacher, school administrator, or other individual authorized by an Institution to access the Services on its behalf.
- "Students" means learners whose accounts are provisioned, invited, or otherwise authorized through an Institution.
- "School Account" means an account or workspace managed by or affiliated with an Institution.
2. Scope of Use
Authorized Educators may use the Services solely for legitimate educational purposes and only on behalf of the Institution that has authorized their access. Use of the Services for personal, commercial, or non-educational purposes is not permitted under this Addendum.
Access to school-managed features, content, and recordings may depend on the Institution's active subscription term, license scope, or order.
3. School Purchases and Billing
When the Services are purchased by an Institution, the Institution is the customer responsible for payment, licensing, and account administration. Individual teachers and school administrators are not personally responsible for fees or charges.
Student and educator access may be suspended or limited if the Institution's subscription expires, is terminated, or is materially changed.
4. Responsibilities of Authorized Educators
As an Authorized Educator, you agree to:
- Use the Services in accordance with your Institution's policies, applicable laws, and professional standards
- Maintain appropriate professional boundaries when interacting with students through the Services

- Access student data and recordings only for students you are authorized to teach or supervise
- Follow your Institution's policies regarding parental notices, permissions, and authorizations required for student use of educational technology
- Promptly report suspected misuse of the Services, safety concerns, or unauthorized access to ReadClub
- Keep your login credentials secure and not share access with unauthorized individuals
5. Student Rosters and Account Management
If your Institution provisions student access through rosters, invitations, classroom codes, or single sign-on:
- You may add or invite only students who are currently enrolled and authorized by the Institution
- You are responsible for keeping rosters reasonably accurate and up to date
- Access for students who are no longer enrolled or authorized must be removed in accordance with your Institution's policies
- ReadClub may rely on the Institution and its Authorized Educators to manage student access appropriately.
6. Access to Student Data and Recordings

- Use student data solely for educational purposes
- Implement reasonable safeguards when accessing the Services (such as securing devices and accounts)
- Notify ReadClub promptly of any suspected data breach or unauthorized access
ReadClub's collection and processing of student data is further described in its Privacy Policy, Children's Privacy Notice, and any applicable institutional data privacy agreements.
8. Educator Organizations and District Deployments
For Institutions that have executed a separate agreement with ReadClub:
- That agreement governs data use, security, and compliance obligations
- The Institution may designate authorized personnel to access the Services
