ELM: Engage Learning Metrics Corporation
Partner: School District or Individual School engaging ELM for use of its assessment platform services
Platform: Software tool for deploying and analyzing standardized tests and results
Service: Access to and administration of Engage Learning Metric's software tools, offered on an annual paid subscription basis.
Content: The information deployed via the Platform. Typically this is the standardized test questions and categorization.
School Year: Runs from the end of the summer break to the beginning of the next one (typically Sep-Jun, inclusive). Access will still be permitted to the application during the Summer months (July and August).
The platform is to be used by the partner only, and should not be redistributed. User access is not to be shared with other people inside or outside of the Partner school group.
ELM intends to make its services available without interruption to its Partners, but at times there may be disruptions beyond its control. The Partner acknowledges this and will not hold ELM liable for such disruptions.
ELM provides the platform for assessment deployment and subsequent interpretation and analysis. All graphics and data analytics methods shown on the platform are protected by copyright and owned by ELM.
The content contained within the assessment itself is provided by the Partner. The Partner asserts it has the right to use the content.
Either party may terminate the Service at any time with 30 days notice. Since most assessments are performed early in the school year, reimbursement of annual subscription will be on a prorated basis and calculated based on the number of students that have already taken the test. The base set up fee portion of the annual subscription is refundable up to a maximum of 30% based on the percentage of testing complete. The per student or per class scaled cost is refundable up to a maximum of 100% based on the percentage of testing complete.
Upon termination, ELM will delete all data associated with the Partner unless directed otherwise.
ELM works to use secure data storage, and does not share Partner data without the Partner's permission.
Administrator passwords and account safety are the responsibility of the partner. The Partner should notify ELM as soon as possible if any are compromised.
ELM only collects the personal information that is provided by the client to create accounts for its users. The data that ELM collects within the app is limited to test responses and this information is only used by that user's account owner.
