By accessing or using degrioacademy.org (the “Website”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Website. These Terms apply to all visitors, families, students, educators, volunteers, partners, and other users of the Website.

1. Acceptance of These Terms

By using this Website in any way, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, along with DGLA’s Privacy Policy.

2. About DeGrio Global Learning Academy

DeGrio Global Learning Academy (“DGLA,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a nonprofit educational organization providing hybrid K–12 and Early Learning programs. This Website shares information about DGLA’s programs, mission, and community, and supports inquiries, enrollment, and communication with prospective and current families, educators, volunteers, and partners.

3. Who May Use This Website

This Website is intended for parents, guardians, prospective and current families, educators, staff, volunteers, partners, and members of the public interested in DGLA. Because DGLA serves children, we ask that personal information concerning a child be submitted by a parent, legal guardian, or other authorized adult, except where a student is specifically authorized to do so independently.

4. Accounts and Authorized Access

Certain areas of the Website, or DGLA’s affiliated online learning and administrative systems, may require an authorized account. If you are issued login credentials, you are responsible for maintaining their confidentiality and for all activity under your account. Please notify DGLA promptly if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

5. Enrollment, Admissions, and Program Participation

Information submitted through this Website — including inquiry, application, or enrollment forms — is not, by itself, a guarantee of admission or enrollment. Formal enrollment, tuition, and program participation are governed by separate enrollment agreements and DGLA policies provided directly to families during the admissions process. Where these Terms and a signed enrollment agreement address the same subject, the enrollment agreement controls for matters of enrollment and program participation.

6. Acceptable Use

When using this Website, you agree not to:

• Violate any applicable law or regulation
• Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with DGLA
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, system, or data
• Interfere with or disrupt the Website’s operation, security, or availability
• Upload or transmit viruses, malicious code, or unsolicited advertising
• Use the Website to harass, threaten, or harm another person, including students, staff, or families
• Scrape, harvest, or misuse data from the Website beyond normal browsing use

7. Intellectual Property

All content on this Website — including text, graphics, logos, images, curriculum descriptions, and design — is owned by DGLA or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws, unless otherwise noted. You may view and share Website content for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from DGLA content for commercial purposes without DGLA’s prior written permission.

8. DGLA Names, Marks, and Educational Frameworks

“DeGrio Global Learning Academy,” “DGLA,” the DeGrio Integrated Learning Framework (“DILF”), “SRG-C™” (Support, Regulation & Growth), and related names, logos, and program marks belong to DGLA. They may not be used without DGLA’s prior written permission, except to accurately reference DGLA’s programs.

9. User-Submitted Content and Communications

If you submit information through a contact, inquiry, application, volunteer, or other form, you represent that the information is accurate and that you have the authority to submit it, including on behalf of a minor child where applicable. Where DGLA enables comments or other public interactive features, you are responsible for content you post and agree not to post confidential, sensitive, or unlawful material.

10. Photographs, Video, and Student Work

DGLA may display photographs, video, artwork, or other student work only in accordance with applicable DGLA permissions, consent forms, and policies. Participation in DGLA programs or activities does not, by itself, authorize DGLA to publicly use a student’s image, voice, name, or work where separate permission is required.

11. Online Learning Systems and Third-Party Platforms

DGLA may provide access to online learning, training, or administrative systems — including DGLA’s Moodle-based learning platform — to authorized students, families, staff, and volunteers. Use of these systems may be subject to additional terms specific to that platform. DGLA seeks to select and use technology consistent with the privacy and educational interests of its community.

12. Third-Party Links and Services

This Website may link to or embed third-party content, tools, or services, such as videos, maps, forms, or payment services. DGLA does not control and is not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of third-party websites or services. Use of third-party services is subject to their own terms and policies.

13. Children Using This Website

This Website is intended to be used by adults on behalf of children, or by students under appropriate parental, guardian, or school supervision. DGLA does not knowingly permit children to independently submit personal information through this Website outside of an authorized, supervised educational context. See our Privacy Policy for more information about how DGLA handles information relating to children.

DGLA does not guarantee that the Website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure at all times.

16. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, DGLA and its officers, directors, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, this Website, even if DGLA has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

19. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by applicable federal law and the law of the state in which the applicable DGLA program is located, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

20. Informal Resolution of Concerns

DGLA values its relationships with families, staff, and community members. If you have a concern about the Website or these Terms, we encourage you to contact DGLA directly so that we may work toward a resolution before pursuing formal legal action.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
