3. Entity Responsibilities
- Utilize Administrator tools to (i) onboard End Users, including additional Administrators, Educators and Students needing access to the Amplio Platform via Clever or Classlink; (ii) assign product licenses and (iii) set up caseloads as relevant to End Users. The Amplio Platform user base for Students and Educators is based on existing and up-to-date profiles in Entity’s Clever or Classlink accounts, as applicable. Accordingly, it is Entity’s responsibility to ensure such information is up-to-date, true and accurate (including properly associating End-Users to schools, Students to Educators, Students to Grades, districts and schools to their NCES IDs, etc. and deactivating accounts when End Users no longer require access to or use of the Platform). To avoid doubt, Entity shall not onboard End Users who do not require access to the Amplio Platform and it is the responsibility of Entity’s Administrator to determine the relevant filters (rules) in Clever/ClassLink to enable the onboarding of only those who are eligible End Users; any oversharing may result in additional costs. Amplio will provide Onboarding Support as further described in the Order Form.
- Make the Platform accessible and meet the technical requirements (such as compatible devices, access to the internet and data services, and certain necessary software as per Amplio’s Minimum System Requirements such that End-Users can reach, access and use the Platform as intended) within its facilities and/or to all End Users. Provide tier 1 technical support for such access and requirements and provide contact details for Entity IT specialist(s) who will be responsible therefore.

Upon demand, Entity shall provide such consents to Amplio to assist with, and demonstrate, compliance. In particular, under the United States’ Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), Amplio relies on Entity, acting as the parent’s agent and on its behalf, to obtain verifiable parental (or legal guardian) consent, regarding the collection of a child’s information (under the age of 13) .
