By accessing or using Clase Arena (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, you may not use the Service.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use the Service and the pedagogical framework for personal, non-commercial educational and entertainment purposes. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, steal assets, or create derivative offline or online works from the Service or framework.

7. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service at our sole discretion, without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users or the Service itself.

8. Zero-Knowledge Local-First Architecture

Clase Arena operates strictly on a Zero-Knowledge, Local-First architecture. Student rosters, gameplay progression, avatars, and behavioral logs are processed and stored exclusively on the educator's local device (local browser storage or local file system) and are never transmitted to, stored on, or accessible by Clase Arena LLC servers. Educators retain sole physical custody and control of all classroom data, ensuring compliance with FERPA, COPPA, and international data privacy regulations by design.

9. Promotional Free Tier & "As-Is" Warranty

During any free promotional period, beta release, or complimentary trial tier, the Service is provided strictly "AS-IS" and "AS-AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Clase Arena LLC does not guarantee continuous uptime, data preservation, or uninterrupted availability, and disclaims all liability for classroom scheduling or instructional disruption.

10. Export Control & Sanctions Compliance

You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in, resident in, or an entity organized under the laws of any country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. government sanctions or embargoes (including Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine), and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties, including the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list.

11. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms and your use of the Service shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, United States of America, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles.

14. Institutional Authority & Classroom Display Supervision

If you use the Service in an educational setting or register using an institutional email address, you represent and warrant that you possess all required school or district permissions and approvals to use third-party classroom engagement software.
