Terms of Service

Effective May 14, 2026 · TrustEd Nav is a product of ExcelUp Lab LLC.

1. Acceptance

By creating an account or using TrustEd Nav (the “Service”), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of a school, district, or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity.

2. The Service

TrustEd Nav is an AI-assisted instructional review platform operated by ExcelUp Lab. It generates audits, findings, and suggested revisions for instructional materials. The Service is a decision-support tool — not a substitute for educator professional judgment.

3. Accounts

You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information and for safeguarding your credentials. You must notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. One person per account; do not share logins.

4. Acceptable use

  • Do not upload personally identifiable student records (names, IDs, grades, IEPs, health info).
  • Do not upload content you do not have rights to submit.
  • Do not attempt to reverse engineer, scrape at scale, or interfere with the Service.
  • Do not use the Service to generate unlawful, harassing, deceptive, or harmful content.
  • Do not present audit outputs as guarantees of correctness, compliance, or student outcomes.

Detailed rules — including prohibited content, copyright, automation, and enforcement — live in our Acceptable Use Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

5. Your content

You retain ownership of materials you upload. You grant ExcelUp Lab a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, transmit, and display your content solely to operate the Service for you. We do not authorize AI providers to train foundation models on your content.

5a. Data protection & user role (GDPR / CCPA / COPPA)

The Service is intended for educators, coaches, and curriculum staff who are 18 years of age or older. It is not directed to children under 13 and is not intended for direct use by students. You agree not to upload personally identifiable information about students, including names, student IDs, grades, IEPs, or health information. This commitment supports our position under the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

For content you do upload, you represent and warrant that you have the legal basis to share it with us for processing — including, where applicable under the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a lawful basis for any personal data contained in your uploads. With respect to such personal data, ExcelUp Lab acts as a processor on your behalf and you act as the controller; we will process it only to operate the Service for you and in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We do not sell or "share" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA). Your statutory rights of access, deletion, correction, and portability — and how to exercise them — are described in the Privacy Policy. If you require a data processing addendum (DPA) or standard contractual clauses (SCCs) for an institutional deployment, contact privacy@exceluplab.com.

6. AI outputs & disclaimer

Audit results are produced by large language models and are probabilistic. They may be incomplete, outdated, or wrong. Confidence indicators are not guarantees. You are responsible for reviewing outputs before relying on them in instruction. The Service does not provide legal, medical, or compliance advice.

7. Subscriptions & billing

Paid plans are billed in advance on a recurring basis through our payment processor. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law. We may change pricing with reasonable notice; changes apply to the next billing period. You can cancel at any time; access continues through the end of the paid period.

8. Plan limits & acceptable use

Each plan includes a defined monthly audit allowance. Usage above your plan's cap is blocked until the next monthly reset or until you upgrade.

Current monthly allowances:

  • Free: 5 audits per user per month.
  • Pro: 200 audits per user per month.
  • Coach: 450 text audits per month pooled across the team, plus 50 visual / scanned-document audits per team owner.

The following uses are prohibited regardless of plan and may result in throttling, additional charges, or account suspension:

  • Automated, scripted, or programmatic audit submission.
  • Sharing a single seat across multiple people or organizations.
  • Reselling, white-labeling, or sub-licensing audit outputs without a written agreement.
  • Bulk processing of third-party catalogs or curricula on a consumer plan.
  • Attempting to evade plan caps, rate limits, or seat boundaries.

If your needs exceed the Pro or Coach cap, contact us about a School or District plan or a custom agreement. Accounts showing signs of abuse, automation, or evasion of limits may be rate-limited or suspended.

9. Third-party services

The Service depends on third-party providers (hosting, database, AI models, email, payments). We are not responsible for outages, errors, or changes in those providers, but we will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize impact.

10. Termination & post-termination retention

You may delete your account at any time from Settings → Danger Zone. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, create risk for other users, or are inactive for an extended period. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends; certain provisions (ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, governing law) survive.

Account deletion removes your profile and uploaded materials from active systems, but some data is retained after termination where we have a legal or compliance obligation:

  • Billing, tax, and transaction records — up to 7 years.
  • Security and audit logs — up to 2 years.
  • Encrypted backups — purged on a rolling 35-day cycle.
  • DMCA notices, counter-notices, and the minimum identifiers needed to enforce our repeat-infringer policy under 17 U.S.C. § 512 — up to 3 years, even if the associated account has been deleted. A deleted account cannot be restored, including after a successful counter-notice.

See the Privacy Policy for the full retention schedule and how to exercise data access or deletion rights.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. EXCELUP LAB DOES NOT WARRANT THAT AUDIT OUTPUTS ARE CORRECT, COMPLETE, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONAL CONTEXT.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EXCELUP LAB AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUES, OR DATA. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM.

13. Indemnity

You agree to defend and indemnify ExcelUp Lab against claims arising from your content, your use of the Service in violation of these terms, or your violation of applicable law.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where ExcelUp Lab is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the competent courts of that jurisdiction unless local consumer law requires otherwise.

15. Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes will be announced in-app or by email. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

16. Intellectual property & copyright

You are responsible for ensuring you have the necessary rights, licenses, or permissions for any content you upload — including textbooks, publisher lessons, proprietary assessments, and other third-party copyrighted materials. By uploading, you represent that your use is authorized or otherwise permitted by law. ExcelUp Lab does not vet uploads for copyright status and is not a party to your licensing arrangements with publishers or content providers.

If you are a copyright owner and believe content on TrustEd Nav infringes your rights, please follow the takedown process in our Copyright & DMCA Policy. We respond to valid DMCA notices and maintain a repeat-infringer policy. The Service should not be used to circumvent licensing terms imposed by publishers, assessment vendors, or content providers.
