1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using TeacherDesk (“the App”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not install or use the application.

All core operational databases function offline on the educator's physical mobile hardware.

3. User Accounts & MPIN Security

You are responsible for safeguarding your access credentials, including your 6-digit MPIN and biometric authentication settings. You agree to notify us immediately of any suspected compromise. You must be at least 18 years of age or an authorized educator to establish an educator workspace within the App.

4. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree to use TeacherDesk exclusively for lawful educational purposes. You agree not to:

• Use the App for any unauthorized, fraudulent, or illegal purpose.
• Attempt to decompile, reverse-engineer, or disassemble the App's binaries.
• Interfere with or disrupt the normal execution of the App or related device subsystems.
• Distribute malicious files, tampered rosters, or corrupt backup packages.
