Terms of Use

Last Updated: July 24, 2026

The website located at https://sooth.fyi (the “Site“) is a copyrighted work belonging to Sooth Inc. (“Company“, “us“, “our“, and “we“). Certain features of the Site may be subject to additional guidelines, terms, or rules, which will be posted on the Site in connection with such features. All such additional terms, guidelines, and rules are incorporated by reference into these Terms.

These Terms of Use (these “Terms“) set forth the legally binding terms and conditions that govern your use of the Site. By accessing or using the Site, you are accepting these Terms (on behalf of yourself or the entity that you represent), and you represent and warrant that you have the right, authority, and capacity to enter into these Terms on behalf of yourself or the entity that you represent, except as otherwise provided in Part D. If you do not agree with all of the provisions of these Terms, do not access and/or use the Site.

Part B of these Terms requires the use of arbitration (Section 8.2) on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and also limits the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute. Part B does not apply to you if you are using the Sooth Platform under Part C or Part D, except as expressly stated in those Parts.

Part A — Determining Which Terms Apply

  1. Structure of These Terms. These Terms of Use are organized into parts based on how you access and use the Sooth Platform:
    1. If you were provided access to the Sooth Platform by a school or district that has a written agreement with Sooth (such as a Student Data Privacy Agreement), Part C (School-Provided Access) governs your use.
    2. If you are an adult (18 years of age or older, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) creating an individual account directly with Sooth, without accessing the Sooth Platform through a school or district, Part B (Individual Adult Terms) governs your use in full.
    3. All others creating an individual account directly with Sooth, without a school or district agreement in place, Part D (Student & Individual Trial Accounts) governs your use, as modified by Part B where indicated in Part D.
  2. If you are unsure which Part applies to you, contact us at contact@sooth.fyi.
  3. Later School-Provided Access. If, after these Terms first apply to you, a school or district enters into a School Agreement with Sooth covering your account, Part C will govern your use of the Sooth Platform going forward, notwithstanding Part B or Part D.

Part B — Individual Adult Terms

This Part B applies to you if Part B governs your use under Part A, or if your trial account has converted to a paid subscription under Part D.5.

Part C — School-Provided Access

  1. Applicability. This Part C applies to your use of the Sooth Platform if you were provided access as a student, teacher, or administrator through a school or district that has entered into a Student Data Privacy Agreement or other written agreement with Sooth (the “School Agreement,” and such school or district, the “Customer”).
  2. Governing Terms. Customer’s School Agreement governs data security, indemnification, limitation of liability, dispute resolution, and other commercial terms between Sooth and Customer. As between you individually and Sooth, Sections 2.1 (License), 2.2 (Certain Restrictions), 2.3 (Modification), 2.4 (No Support or Maintenance), 2.5 (Ownership), 2.6 (Feedback), Section 4 (Third-Party Links; Other Users), and Section 9.2(b) (Renewal — Group Subscriptions), and Section 9.5 (Notices — Group Subscriptions) of Part B apply to your use of the Sooth Platform.
  3. Student Data. Personal Information of students, student records, and student-generated content (collectively, “Student Data”) is the property of the applicable student or the student’s parent or legal guardian. During the term of the School Agreement, Customer shall retain control of all Student Data maintained in connection with the School Agreement. Sooth shall take reasonable commercial measures designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of all Student Data, and Sooth and its employees, agents, and contractors shall use Student Data only for purposes permitted under the School Agreement and Sooth’s Privacy Policy.
  4. FERPA. Student Data may include “education records” as defined under FERPA. To the extent Sooth collects or processes Personal Information in education records in the course of providing the Sooth Platform, it does so as an outsourced institutional function pursuant to FERPA 34 CFR Part 99.31(a)(1), and is designated by the Customer for these purposes as a “school official” with legitimate educational interests. Sooth will comply with its responsibilities as a school official under FERPA. The Customer is responsible for obtaining any necessary consents prior to providing Student Data to Sooth, and is wholly responsible for providing annual notice to students and parents or other legal guardians of their rights with respect to FERPA and other applicable law.
  5. COPPA. Consistent with Section 3.5 of Sooth’s Privacy Policy, Sooth relies on Customer to obtain any necessary parental consent under COPPA’s “school official” exception, in connection with the Customer’s use of the Sooth Platform for educational purposes.
  6. Data Retention. Upon expiration or termination of the School Agreement, or upon Customer’s written request, Sooth will handle Student Data as described in Section 6 (Data Retention) of Sooth’s Privacy Policy.

Part D — Student Self-Serve Trial Accounts

This Part D applies to you if Part D governs your use under Part A.

  1. Eligibility and Nature of Access. You may create an individual account to trial the Sooth Platform for up to thirty (30) days without a school or district agreement in place. Subject to these Terms, Sooth grants you the license described in Section 2.1 to use and access the Site during your trial period. Sooth handles information collected from all users consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), as described in our Privacy Policy, regardless of your actual age.
  2. Capacity to Contract. Many individuals accessing the Sooth Platform under this Part D are minors who may lack the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract. To the extent you lack such capacity, the provisions of Part B of these Terms — including the arbitration agreement, class action waiver, jury trial waiver, indemnification obligations, and release of claims — do not apply to you. If you have reached the age of majority in your jurisdiction, Part B applies to you in full.
  3. Use at Your Own Risk. Regardless of your capacity to be bound by Part B, your access to and use of the Sooth Platform under this Part D is at your own risk. THE SOOTH PLATFORM IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS-IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, AND SOOTH DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. Sooth reserves the right to suspend, limit, or terminate any trial account at any time, for any reason.
  4. Platform Rules Still Apply. You agree to comply with the acceptable-use restrictions in Section 2.2 and Sooth’s ownership rights under Section 2.5, regardless of your capacity to be bound by Part B. Sooth may terminate your access for violating these restrictions.
  5. Conversion to a Paid Subscription or School Access. If you convert your trial account to a paid subscription by providing billing information, you represent that you have the legal capacity to contract, and Part B applies to your account in full from that point forward.
