25. PERTAINING TO CUSTOMERS WITH BOTH COLLEGE AND TRANSCRIPT SUBSCRIPTIONS

If purchasing a product or service through our partner National Clearinghouse, you agree to the following additional terms:

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,  the National Student Clearinghouse (“Clearinghouse”), a not-for-profit corporation organized under the  laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the undersigned high school or high school  district (“School”) agree as follows:  
‍
1. The Clearinghouse provides a nationwide, central repository of information on student enrollment,  degrees, diplomas, certificates and other educational achievements.  

2. The School wants to obtain information on the attendance of its former students in postsecondary  institutions and improve the manner in which the diplomas it has granted to its students are verified to  prospective employers and others. The School wishes to use the services of the Clearinghouse to assist  in the functions as described below. Individual attachments may be added, deleted or modified by  mutual written agreement.  

3. The School will transmit to Transeo lists of its graduates (“Graduates”). Initially, it will transmit a list  of Graduates dating back up to eight (8) years and, thereafter, will submit lists of new graduates each  year after conferral of diplomas. The School agrees that it will submit its Graduates files electronically  and that they will contain the data elements and configuration reasonably required by the  Clearinghouse. Transeo, acting on behalf of the School, may conform the data to Clearinghouse  standards and submit the data to the Clearinghouse. The listing shall indicate which students have  blocked the release of “directory information” under the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act  (“FERPA”). School will provide the Clearinghouse with any requested necessary information on  School’s FERPA Directory Information policy. The School will promptly inform the Clearinghouse  of any newly placed directory information blocks. The Clearinghouse will promptly refer to the School  any requests it receives from individual students either to correct or block records received from the  School but will not modify or block records without instruction from the School.  
 
4. Upon request, the Clearinghouse will compare the School’s Graduates with its database and provide the  School with data on the subsequent enrollment and educational achievements of its students at  postsecondary institutions. In addition to the Graduates file, the School may also submit  through Transeo lists of graduates and other former students in a format reasonably required by the  Clearinghouse (“StudentTracker Request Files”), and the Clearinghouse will provide data on the  subsequent enrollment and educational achievements of these students at postsecondary institutions.  The Clearinghouse reserves the right to reasonably limit the number of Request Files submitted by the  School per calendar year.  

5. The Clearinghouse will not release any personally identifiable information except as specifically  provided under this Agreement, including Exhibits. The Clearinghouse may not in any way use or  supply student personally identifiable information obtained hereunder beyond the specific purposes set  forth in this agreement. The Clearinghouse agrees that data provided by the School under the agreement  may not be sold by Clearinghouse, or be used by the Clearinghouse to amass a student profile or  conduct targeted advertising.  
‍
6. In the event either party determines that an event has occurred that reasonably leads it to believe that  there has been an unauthorized or improper disclosure of the information exchanged under this  agreement that party will promptly notify the other unless specifically directed not to make  such notification by law enforcement. Such notification will include the nature of the incident, the  information compromised and the action taken. The parties will cooperate and keep each other fully  informed until the incident is resolved. Either party shall have the right to immediately suspend service  under this Agreement until the resolution of such incident.  

7. The services provided by the Clearinghouse under this Agreement will be paid for by the School through  Transeo, which will be responsible for paying Clearinghouse for the services provided.  
‍
8. The Clearinghouse uses its best efforts to review, interpret, and follow publicly disseminated guidance  on FERPA in the development and operation of its services and provides for the release of only  unblocked directory information unless FERPA authorizes release without consent. The School is  solely responsible for its compliance with FERPA, and the Clearinghouse is not liable for any errors or  omissions by the School that may give rise to FERPA violations. The School will institute and maintain  reasonable controls to ensure that the information it provides to the Clearinghouse under this Agreement  is complete and accurate. Both the Clearinghouse and the School agree to comply with all applicable  Federal, State, and local statutes, regulations, and other requirements pertaining to the security,  confidentiality, and privacy of information exchanged with and maintained by the Clearinghouse.  
‍
9. The School agrees that it may only disclose the data provided by the Clearinghouse to school boards  and school officials whom it has determined to have legitimate educational interests. The School agrees  that it will not release data provided by the Clearinghouse to any other individuals, institutions, or  organizations, other than those identified above, either in student or postsecondary institution  identifiable form, without the Clearinghouse’s express written permission and payment of any  additional fees that may be required.  
‍
10. The School understands and agrees that Clearinghouse will provide Transeo with the reports generated  as part of the services provided under this Agreement. Transeo will provide the reports to the School,  and may also use data in such reports to provide additional services to the School under a separate  agreement between the School and Transeo.  
‍
11. In the event the School is required to disclose any data provided hereunder which could potentially  identify individuals or specific postsecondary institutions pursuant to any applicable statute, law, rule  or regulation of any governmental authority or pursuant to any order of any court of competent  jurisdiction, the School must provide the Clearinghouse prompt notice of such request for disclosure  and reasonably cooperate with the Clearinghouse’s efforts to obtain a protective order. The parties  further agree that any exclusion effected pursuant to this provision is authorized only to the minimum  extent necessary to allow the School to comply with a legal rule or order compelling the disclosure of  information and shall not constitute a general waiver of the obligations of confidentiality under this  Agreement.  
‍
12. The School agrees to:  a. Ensure that only authorized personnel whom it has determined to have legitimate  educational interests will be provided with access to the Clearinghouse’s secure  website, and that such access will be immediately terminated when those personnel  leave the School’s employment. b. Take all necessary steps to ensure that authorized personnel do not share their  Clearinghouse website user names and passwords with other individuals or entities.  

13. The Clearinghouse will institute and maintain reasonable controls to ensure the integrity and security  of its database and data transmission systems so that it releases information solely to authorized entities  or individuals in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and applicable law. Such controls will  adhere to best practices and standards within the education community related to information security  and will include technical, operational and physical controls which will be reflected in a comprehensive  information security policy. The Clearinghouse will provide periodic security training to its employees
who operate or have access to the database and data transmission systems. The Clearinghouse agrees  to indemnify and hold the School harmless from any direct loss, cost, damage or expense suffered by  the School as a direct result of the Clearinghouse’s failure to comply with its obligations under this  Agreement. The Clearinghouse will maintain insurance covering errors and omissions in its data  processing operations in the amount of at least two million dollars ($2,000,000).  

14. The School may audit the performance by the Clearinghouse of its duties and obligations hereunder at  the Clearinghouse offices during normal business hours but no more frequently than annually. Audits  require 30 days advanced notice and will be scheduled at a mutually convenient date.
 
15. The Clearinghouse will not retain or release personally identifiable information provided by the School  except as specifically authorized under this Agreement. The Clearinghouse may retain or release  information received from the School under this Agreement that is in aggregate or statistical form and  does not contain Social Security numbers or other personally identifiable information. The School  retains full ownership rights to the information in the education records it provides to the Clearinghouse.  Upon termination of this agreement, the Clearinghouse will immediately discontinue use of any  information that has been provided to it by the School. The Clearinghouse agrees to destroy all  information provided under this Agreement: (1) at the School’s request; (2) when the data is no longer  needed to achieve this Agreements’s purposes, (3) upon termination of this Agreement, or (4) as  otherwise required by State or Federal law. School agrees that Clearinghouse may maintain data  provided by the State, when such data is needed to satisfy audit or other State and Federal legal and  regulatory requirements.
