Clean Catalog Terms of Service
Last updated September 29, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to cleancatalog.com (the "Website") and Clean Catalog's hosted course catalog, curriculum management, syllabus management, and related software and services (together, the "Services"). The Services are provided by Clean Catalog LLC, a Washington limited liability company ("Clean Catalog," "we," or "us"). By accessing or using the Website or Services, you agree to these Terms. If you use the Services for an organization, you represent that you are authorized to act for it, and "you" includes that organization where applicable.
If your organization has signed a contract, service agreement, order, statement of work, or addendum with us (a "Customer Agreement"), that Customer Agreement governs the purchased Services and controls over these Terms if they conflict. A service level commitment or service credit applies only if it is included in your Customer Agreement. These Terms do not change a Customer Agreement, and use of the Website alone does not make a visitor a party to one.
1. Who may use the Services
The Website is available for general information and inquiries. Access to administrative or other restricted parts of the Services is limited to people authorized by a Clean Catalog customer. You must provide accurate information when creating or using an account, keep your credentials secure, and promptly tell your organization's administrator or us if you suspect unauthorized access. You are responsible for activity under your account to the extent permitted by law.
Our customers may make published catalogs, syllabi, and related pages available to students and the public. Viewing those pages does not itself create an administrative account or make a viewer responsible for the customer's obligations under a Customer Agreement. If a school or district provides the Services to minors, the school or district is responsible for authorizing their access and configuring their use in accordance with applicable law and its own policies.
2. Permitted use
You may use the Services for their intended educational, administrative, and informational purposes, subject to your access rights and any Customer Agreement. You may not:
- access or attempt to access accounts, data, or systems without authorization;
- interfere with the security, availability, or operation of the Services;
- introduce malicious code or use the Services to send spam or unlawful material;
- use the Services to violate another person's rights or applicable law;
- bypass technical restrictions or use automated means that materially disrupt the Services; or
- copy, reverse engineer, or exploit the software except as applicable law expressly permits.
We may take reasonable steps to investigate misuse, protect the Services and their users, and restrict access when necessary. We will follow any applicable Customer Agreement when taking action against a customer's access.
3. Customer content and publication
As between you and Clean Catalog, the customer retains ownership of the data, text, images, documents, syllabi, catalog material, and other content it or its authorized users provide to the Services ("Customer Content"). The customer grants Clean Catalog a limited right to host, store, reproduce, format, process, transmit, and display Customer Content as needed to provide, support, and secure the Services and to carry out the customer's publication and configuration choices. This permission lasts for the period reasonably needed to perform those activities, subject to the Customer Agreement and applicable law.
The customer is responsible for the accuracy, legality, accessibility, and publication choices for its Customer Content, including obtaining any rights and permissions needed to provide that content to us. Publishing content through the Services may make it available to the public and to search engines. The customer controls which of its authorized users may edit, approve, or publish content through the permissions and workflows available to it. Clean Catalog does not independently verify academic requirements, course descriptions, or other institutional statements before publication.
We may remove or restrict Customer Content when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to a valid legal request, or address a serious security or rights issue, subject to any applicable Customer Agreement. We will give the customer notice when reasonably practicable and legally permitted.
4. Clean Catalog technology
Clean Catalog and its licensors retain all rights in the Services, including the software, tools, designs, processes, documentation, and other technology used to provide them. Subject to these Terms and any Customer Agreement, we grant authorized users a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable right to access and use the Services during the applicable service term. No ownership of Clean Catalog technology transfers to a customer or user. The Clean Catalog name, logos, and other marks may not be used without permission, except to identify us accurately.
5. Customer agreements, fees, and support
Orders, fees, payment schedules, service periods, implementation work, and any renewal or cancellation terms are set out in the applicable Customer Agreement. Unless that agreement says otherwise, Clean Catalog invoices customers annually, and invoices are due within 30 days after receipt, as stated in the standard service agreement. Additional development or changes to agreed deliverables require a separate written change order when the Customer Agreement requires one.
Support is available to customers through support@cleancatalog.com, subject to the scope and response commitments in their Customer Agreement. General inquiries may be sent to info@cleancatalog.com. Any uptime target, maintenance obligation, backup schedule, support response time, or service credit applies only as stated in an applicable Customer Agreement. A service credit is not available to a Website visitor merely for viewing the Website or a published customer page.
6. Privacy and security
Our Privacy Policy describes our handling of personal information in connection with the Website. A Customer Agreement or other applicable data terms may further govern information processed for a customer through the Services. Customers are responsible for deciding what personal information they place in Customer Content and for providing notices and obtaining permissions required for their use of the Services. Please do not send sensitive personal information through the Website's general contact form unless we ask you to use that channel for a specific purpose.
No internet service can be guaranteed completely secure. You should protect account credentials and use the security and access controls made available to your organization. We may perform maintenance, security updates, and other work needed to operate the Services, in accordance with any applicable Customer Agreement.
7. Third party services and links
The Services may link to or integrate with third party systems selected or authorized by a customer. Those systems are governed by their own terms and privacy practices. We are responsible for our obligations under these Terms and any Customer Agreement, but we do not control independent third party websites or services. Integration scope, costs, and support responsibilities may be specified in a Customer Agreement.
8. Availability and changes
We may update the Website and Services, correct errors, and make reasonable changes to features or functionality. We may temporarily interrupt access for maintenance, security, or events outside our reasonable control. Commitments concerning availability, support, or material changes to purchased Services are governed by the applicable Customer Agreement.
We may update these public Terms by posting a revised version with a new date. Changes will apply prospectively unless applicable law permits otherwise. If a change materially affects an existing customer's rights or obligations, we will follow the amendment and notice process in its Customer Agreement. Continued use after an effective change constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law; if you do not agree, stop using the affected Services and contact us about your customer account.
9. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Website at any time. A customer's rights to use the purchased Services, and either party's right to end them, are governed by its Customer Agreement. We may suspend an individual account or access where reasonably necessary to address unauthorized use, a security threat, or unlawful activity, and will restore access when the issue is resolved where appropriate. Where practicable, we will notify the customer and follow its Customer Agreement.
When a Customer Agreement ends, access to the related Services may end. Handling of Customer Content, unpaid fees, and confidential information after termination is governed by that agreement and applicable law. Provisions that by their nature need to continue, including ownership, limitations of liability, and dispute terms, will survive termination to the extent applicable.
10. Disclaimers
We provide the Website and publicly available information with reasonable care, but they may contain errors or become outdated. The Website does not replace a customer's own official academic policies or published requirements. Except for express promises in a Customer Agreement and rights or warranties that cannot lawfully be excluded, the Website and Services are provided without additional warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and noninfringement.
Nothing in these Terms limits a specific service commitment we have made in a Customer Agreement.
11. Limits on liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Clean Catalog is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from these Terms, the Website, or the Services, including lost profits, lost data, lost goodwill, or business interruption. For a customer with a Customer Agreement, the liability cap, exceptions, and other risk allocations in that agreement control. For other users, these Terms do not exclude or limit liability where doing so would be unlawful.
12. Governing law and disputes
Washington law governs these Terms, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Subject to any mandatory rights under applicable law and any controlling Customer Agreement, disputes arising from these Terms or the Services must be brought in the state or federal courts located in King County, Washington. Before filing a claim, please contact us so we can try to resolve the issue informally. Any mandatory negotiation period, fee shifting, or other dispute procedure in a Customer Agreement governs disputes under that agreement.
13. Other terms
If a provision of these Terms is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect to the extent possible. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later. You may not transfer your account or rights under these Terms without our consent, except as permitted by a Customer Agreement. We may transfer these Terms in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of the business, subject to applicable law and any Customer Agreement.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable Customer Agreement, describe the agreement concerning the use they cover. If a Customer Agreement addresses a topic differently, it controls for the customer and its authorized users.
