Terms of Service

What Afterbell does

Afterbell reads your children's Canvas information with the parent (observer) access you give it, and emails a short daily report: work due tonight and tomorrow, missing assignments, changes since the last report, and current scores. By creating an account you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy.

Your account

• You must be at least 18 and a parent or legal guardian of the students whose reports you set up.
• Only connect a Canvas account you're allowed to use. You can revoke the access token in Canvas at any time.
• Keep your email account secure: anyone who can read your email can sign in to Afterbell as you.
• Only add people who should see a student's schoolwork. Each person must accept an invitation before they receive anything.

Free trial and payment

• The first 7 days are free and need no card.
• After that, the price is $30 per student per school year (July 1 to June 30), reduced if you join later in the year. It's a one-time payment for that school year and does not renew automatically.
• Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card number.

Reports are a convenience, not a record

Reports reflect what Canvas shows at the moment they're built. Teachers may not have entered everything, Canvas may be unavailable, and emails can be delayed or filtered. Always rely on Canvas and your school for official grades and deadlines. Afterbell isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Instructure; Canvas is a trademark of Instructure, Inc.

Acceptable use

Don't use Afterbell to access anyone's information without permission, to send email to people who haven't agreed to it, or to interfere with Afterbell or Canvas. We may suspend accounts that do.

Ending your account

You can turn off reports or delete your account and its data from your dashboard at any time. We may end the service with notice; if we do, we'll refund the unused part of the current school year.

Liability

Afterbell is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability is limited to what you paid us in the last twelve months.

Changes and questions

If these terms change in a way that matters, we'll email you before the change takes effect. Questions? Reply to any Afterbell email.
