These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of CVSD Go, including its public link directory, shortened URL redirection services, and staff administration tools operated by Cedar Valley School District ("District," "we," "our," or "us"). CVSD Go provides students, families, staff, and community members with convenient access to official District resources and information.
By accessing or using CVSD Go, you acknowledge and agree to comply with these Terms, applicable District policies, and relevant federal, state, and local laws. If you do not agree with these Terms, you should discontinue use of the service.
1. Eligibility and Acceptable Use
CVSD Go is intended for students, families, staff, and community members seeking access to official District resources, educational materials, and administrative information. Users agree to use CVSD Go responsibly and for lawful, educational, informational, and administrative purposes consistent with the District's mission.
You must not use CVSD Go to:
- Publish, distribute, or redirect users to malicious, fraudulent, deceptive, inappropriate, or unlawful destinations.
- Interfere with the availability, functionality, security, or integrity of the platform or its supporting infrastructure.
- Attempt unauthorized access to staff-only tools, restricted resources, administrative accounts, or protected links.
- Distribute spam, phishing attempts, malware, harmful software, or other unauthorized content.
- Circumvent security measures, authentication requirements, access restrictions, or other established safeguards.
- Impersonate District employees, misrepresent official District communications, or falsely suggest District authorization or endorsement.
- Use automated tools or scripts in a manner that disrupts normal operations or places an unreasonable burden on the service.
- Engage in activities that violate District policies or applicable laws and regulations.
The District reserves the right to investigate suspected misuse and take appropriate action to protect users, District resources, and the continued operation of CVSD Go.
2. Account and Access Controls
Certain CVSD Go functions require authentication and role-based permissions. Administrative access is limited to authorized District personnel and may be assigned based on job responsibilities, departmental needs, or other approved operational requirements.
CVSD Employees utilizing CVSD Go are responsible for safeguarding their login credentials, maintaining the confidentiality of account information, and ensuring that administrative functions are used only for authorized District purposes. Users must not share credentials or permit unauthorized individuals to access restricted features.
All activities performed through an authenticated account may be subject to administrative review and security auditing in accordance with applicable District policies and laws.
The District may modify, restrict, suspend, or revoke user access when misuse, policy violations, unauthorized activity, security risks, or changes in employment or authorization status are identified. Access restrictions may be implemented without prior notice when necessary to protect District systems or information.
Users who suspect unauthorized account activity or a security compromise should promptly notify the District through its designated support channels.
3. Link Management and Content Responsibility
Authorized CVSD Employees with access to CVSD Go may create, edit, organize, schedule, restrict, lock, archive, and remove short links, folders, and directory listings within CVSD Go. These administrative functions must be performed in accordance with assigned permissions, District policies, and established operational procedures.
CVSD Employees are responsible for verifying the accuracy, relevance, appropriateness, and security of destinations before publishing or modifying links. Published resources should support legitimate educational, informational, or administrative purposes and remain consistent with the District's standards.
Links should be reviewed and updated as necessary to ensure that users are not directed to outdated, misleading, inaccessible, or potentially unsafe content.
The District may review, modify, disable, or permanently remove any link, folder, directory listing, or redirect that is outdated, inaccurate, unauthorized, unsafe, inappropriate, or inconsistent with the District's educational mission, policies, or legal obligations.
The District does not guarantee that any specific shortened URL, directory listing, or redirect will remain available indefinitely. Links may be changed, reassigned, restricted, or discontinued as operational needs require.
4. Service Availability and Changes
CVSD Go is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, subject to applicable law. While the District makes reasonable efforts to maintain a reliable, secure, and accessible service, uninterrupted availability or error-free operation cannot be guaranteed.
The District may modify, update, suspend, or discontinue features, URLs, folder structures, access permissions, authentication methods, integrations, or other service components at any time to improve functionality, security, accessibility, or compliance.
Service interruptions may occur due to scheduled maintenance, system updates, technical failures, network disruptions, cybersecurity incidents, or circumstances beyond the District's reasonable control.
The District may perform maintenance, implement security updates, or take emergency corrective action without prior notice when necessary to protect the platform, its users, or supporting infrastructure.
The District is not obligated to maintain or restore discontinued features, expired links, or previously available resources unless required by applicable law or District policy.
5. Third-Party Destinations
CVSD Go may redirect users to third-party websites, applications, documents, and online services that are not directly owned or operated by Cedar Valley School District.
Although the District may review destinations before publication, it does not control the ongoing content, availability, security, accessibility, terms of service, or privacy practices of independently operated third-party resources.
The inclusion of an external link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement, sponsorship, or guarantee of the destination or its content by the District.
Users should review the privacy policies, terms of service, and security practices of third-party websites before submitting personal, confidential, or sensitive information.
The District may remove or disable external links if a destination becomes unsafe, inappropriate, unavailable, or inconsistent with District policies or legal requirements.
6. Security and Abuse Monitoring
To protect users, District information, and supporting infrastructure, CVSD Go may collect technical logs, monitor suspicious activity, record access attempts, and audit administrative actions in accordance with applicable laws and District policies.
Security monitoring may include information such as IP addresses, browser and device information, timestamps, requested URLs, redirection events, authentication activity, system errors, and changes made through administrative tools.
This information may be used to maintain platform functionality, investigate suspected misuse, identify security threats, troubleshoot technical issues, and support compliance with applicable requirements.
Unauthorized penetration testing, vulnerability exploitation, excessive automated scraping, credential attacks, attempts to bypass security controls, or other activities intended to compromise the platform are prohibited.
Users who discover a suspected vulnerability or security concern should report it through the District's designated support channels rather than attempting to exploit or publicly disclose it in a manner that could create additional risk.
The District may temporarily block requests, restrict access, disable affected features, or implement additional safeguards when suspicious or potentially harmful activity is detected.
7. Intellectual Property
District names, logos, trademarks, branding, website designs, and original materials displayed or distributed through CVSD Go are owned by Cedar Valley School District or used under applicable licenses or permissions.
Access to CVSD Go does not grant users ownership of, or unrestricted rights to reproduce, modify, distribute, or commercially use, District-owned intellectual property.
Users may not use District branding or official materials in a manner that falsely implies authorization, endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation.
Nothing in these Terms restricts uses expressly permitted by applicable copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property laws, or by written authorization from the District.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CVSD Go and its associated services are provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted availability.
The District does not guarantee that CVSD Go will be free from technical errors, service interruptions, security vulnerabilities, inaccurate links, or other operational limitations.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the District shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages arising from the use of or inability to use CVSD Go, including losses associated with third-party websites, service interruptions, inaccurate redirects, or unauthorized external activity.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive or modify any governmental immunity, statutory protection, legal responsibility, or right that cannot lawfully be waived, excluded, or limited.
9. Governing Rules and Policy Alignment
These Terms operate alongside applicable District board policies, administrative procedures, student and employee handbooks, technology acceptable use requirements, and federal, state, and local laws.
Users are expected to comply with all applicable requirements when accessing District resources or using administrative functions within CVSD Go.
If any provision of these Terms conflicts with a controlling legal requirement or formally adopted District policy, the applicable law or controlling District policy shall take precedence.
The District reserves the right to establish additional procedures, restrictions, or administrative requirements when necessary to maintain compliance, protect District resources, or support educational operations.
10. Contact
Questions, concerns, security reports, or requests for clarification regarding these Terms, account access, or CVSD Go operations may be directed to Cedar Valley School District at gosupport@cvsd.live.
Users reporting technical issues or suspected security incidents should provide sufficient information to allow the District to review and address the matter appropriately. Sensitive information, including passwords or authentication credentials, should not be included in support requests.
The District will review inquiries and respond as appropriate under established procedures and applicable requirements.
11. Updates to These Terms
The District may revise these Terms of Service periodically to reflect changes in platform functionality, administrative practices, security requirements, District policies, or applicable laws.
Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. When appropriate, additional notice may be provided through official District communication channels.
Continued use of CVSD Go following the effective date of revised Terms constitutes acceptance of the updated provisions to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Users are encouraged to review these Terms periodically to remain informed of their responsibilities and any changes affecting use of the service.
12. Privacy and Data Protection
The District is committed to protecting information collected or processed through CVSD Go in accordance with applicable privacy laws, District policies, and established information security practices.
Information collected through the service may include technical usage data, authentication records, administrative activity logs, and other information reasonably necessary to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the platform.
Where applicable, the District will handle student-related information in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and other relevant privacy and student data protection requirements.
Information collected through CVSD Go may be retained for operational, security, auditing, or legal compliance purposes in accordance with applicable records retention schedules and District policies.
The District may disclose information when authorized or required by law, necessary to address a legitimate security incident, or otherwise permitted under applicable privacy requirements.
Users should avoid including confidential or sensitive personal information in shortened URLs, public link descriptions, or other publicly accessible fields.
13. Enforcement and Violations
The District reserves the right to enforce these Terms and take appropriate action when violations, misuse, or threats to platform security are identified.
Depending on the nature and severity of the incident, enforcement actions may include:
- Removing or disabling links, folders, or other published resources.
- Temporarily restricting access to specific features or administrative tools.
- Suspending or permanently revoking administrative permissions.
- Reviewing relevant system logs and administrative activity.
- Referring suspected violations to appropriate District administrators or authorized personnel.
- Reporting potentially unlawful conduct to appropriate authorities when warranted.
Any disciplinary action involving students or District employees will be handled in accordance with applicable District policies, established procedures, and legal requirements.
Failure by the District to enforce a provision of these Terms in a particular instance does not waive its right to enforce that provision in the future.
