Terms of Service

Terms of Service overview

1. Agreement overview

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Corebytes LLC ("Company," "we," "our," or "us"), a United States limited liability company and the owner and operator of DriversEdPro("Platform," "Service," or "Software").

By accessing, using, or registering for DriversEdPro, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. The Service is offered primarily for use in connection with driver education programs operated in the United States. You are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws.

2. United States legal framework, statutory references, and enforcement

This Section summarizes representative United States federal and state legal frameworks that inform how we operate the Platform, protect our systems and intellectual property, and respond to misuse. It is informational and does not waive any defense or argument we may raise in any proceeding. Nothing in these Terms is legal advice for you; consult qualified counsel for your own obligations.

2.1 Representative federal statutes and regulations

2.2 State consumer protection and privacy laws

Depending on your state of residence or operation, additional rights and obligations may arise under state unfair competition and consumer protection statutes (for example, state "mini-FTC Acts") and comprehensive state privacy laws. California residents may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 and the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020, codified at California Civil Code §§ 1798.100 et seq. Other states have enacted similar consumer data laws; we respond to verifiable requests as required by applicable law.

2.3 Our remedies if you or your school breach these Terms or the law

If you or your school misuse the Service, misappropriate our confidential information or trade secrets, infringe our intellectual property, commit fraud, abuse payment systems, or violate applicable law, we may—without limiting other rights—suspend or terminate accounts, preserve records, cooperate with law enforcement where appropriate, and pursue all remedies available at law or in equity, including injunctive relief, damages, restitution, and recovery of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to the extent permitted by contract or statute. You agree that irreparable harm may result from breaches of Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, and 9, and that we may seek equitable relief without bond to the extent a court permits.

3. Software access model, license, and termination

3.1 Rental and license, not sale

DriversEdPro is provided as a subscription or contracted software service to authorized driving schools and their users. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Software during the period your school or account is entitled to access. You do not acquire ownership of the Software, databases, content, documentation, or trademarks.

• You may not copy, reproduce, redistribute, sell, sublicense, or publicly display the Software except as these Terms expressly allow.
• You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code except where applicable law prohibits that restriction.
• All improvements, updates, and derivative works remain our property or our licensors' property.

3.2 Termination and suspension

4. Description of service

4.1 Platform purpose

DriversEdPro provides driver education tools, content delivery, scheduling, communications, and administrative features for schools and students. We are a technology provider. We are not a DMV, not your school's employer, and not a guarantor of licensure outcomes.

4.2 Service components (non-exhaustive)

• Online and blended driver education content delivery
• Progress tracking and reporting tools
• Certificate generation where the school enables it
• Student and instructor communication features
• Administrative tools for driving schools
• Web and mobile-friendly access where supported
• Optional features that rely on device permissions such as location when you or your school enable them and you grant consent at the device level

4.3 Important limitations

We do not provide behind-the-wheel instruction ourselves, certify instructors, issue driver licenses, or guarantee educational outcomes. Your school remains responsible for curriculum delivery, safety, and compliance with state rules.

4.4 SMS text messaging program

DriversEdPro may send automated SMS text messages to the mobile number you provide when you enroll or maintain a student account. Messages are sent through our messaging provider (currently Twilio) from toll-free or other U.S. numbers we operate for the Platform. Your enrolled driving school may also send SMS through the Platform when staff use school notification tools.

What your number is used for. We use the mobile number you enter at enrollment or in your profile for transactional and service-related texts tied to driver education—not for unrelated third-party marketing lists. Typical messages include:

• Behind-the-wheel lesson reminders, confirmations, schedule changes, and cancellations
• Notices when a drive session is marked complete or cancelled by your school or instructor
• Class, attendance, payment, or document reminders your school chooses to send through the Platform
• Account, portal, or enrollment updates needed to use the Service
• Replies to questions you asked by text when two-way messaging is enabled for your school

Message frequency varies with your schedule and your school's settings (for example, a few messages per month during active training, or more around lesson dates). Message and data rates may apply. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Consent. By checking the separate SMS consent box during enrollment (or when you otherwise opt in in the product), you agree to receive these automated text messages at the number you provided. Consent is not a condition of purchasing driver education except where your school requires portal access that includes SMS as part of scheduled lessons. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP to a message we sent. After STOP, we may send one confirmation text. For help, reply HELPor contact your driving school office. Opting out of SMS does not remove your obligation to pay valid fees or to follow your school's policies, but you may miss schedule alerts.

SMS consent is described in more detail in our Privacy Policy. It is collected separately from your agreement to these Terms at enrollment.

5. Acceptable use

User-generated content must be appropriate for an educational environment, lawful, and respectful of others' rights.

6. Intellectual property

6.1 Rights reserved

No rights are granted except the limited license in Section 3. You may not frame, mirror, or embed the Service in another product without written permission.

6.2 Restrictions

Without prior written consent, you may not copy, distribute, publicly perform, modify, create derivative works from, decompile, reverse engineer, scrape, harvest, or circumvent technical measures of the Software, except where applicable law expressly permits reverse engineering for interoperability despite this limitation.

6.3 Third-party content

The Platform may include licensed third-party materials. Those materials remain the property of their owners and are subject to their license terms.

6.4 User content

By uploading or submitting content, you represent that you have the rights to do so and you grant Corebytes LLC a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, adapt format for display, and distribute that content solely to operate and improve the Service. You retain ownership of your content subject to the license you grant us.

6.5 Feedback

Feedback, suggestions, or ideas you provide may be implemented without obligation to pay you or credit you, except where law prohibits that treatment.

6.6 Enforcement

We may investigate suspected infringement or misuse. We may involve law enforcement and may seek injunctive relief, damages, and attorneys' fees available under law. Reports of intellectual property concerns may be sent to legal@driversedpro.com with "IP Report" in the subject line and enough detail for us to evaluate the claim.

7. Payment terms, taxes, non-refundable enrollment fee, and chargebacks

7.1 Payment processing

Payments for fees are processed by Intuit QuickBooks Payments or other payment methods your school configures through Intuit or another processor we approve. DriversEdPro does not store full payment card numbers on our application servers. Transaction confirmations and limited metadata may appear in the product for accounting and support.

7.2 Fees and taxes—no liability for incorrect tax or third-party charges

• Course and service fees are set by your school unless we separately contract with you.
• Platform fees to schools, if any, are governed by the commercial agreement between Corebytes LLC and the school.
• Sales, use, excise, gross receipts, and similar taxes may apply depending on jurisdiction, nexus, exemptions, and how your school configures checkout.

Tax and transaction disclaimer. Corebytes LLC does not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice. We are not liable for any incorrect, incomplete, or unlawful tax calculation, withholding, collection, remittance, or reporting by you, your school, Intuit, card networks, or any other third party, nor for penalties, interest, or audits arising from tax treatment of any transaction. You and your school are solely responsible for determining, displaying, collecting, and remitting all taxes and for the accuracy of all amounts, descriptions, and customer-facing tax representations on invoices and checkout. If you believe a tax line item is wrong, you must resolve it with your school and your tax professional; our role is software and, where applicable, passing through processor metadata.

Transaction disclaimer.We are not liable for failed, delayed, duplicated, misdirected, or fraudulent transactions caused by banks, card networks, processors, your device, user error, or force majeure events. Your recourse for payment errors generally runs first to the processor's dispute rules and your agreement with the school, subject to these Terms and any non-waivable rights you may have under consumer payment regulations (for example, Regulation E, 12 C.F.R. Part 1005, for certain electronic fund transfers from consumer accounts—without limiting our chargeback and bad-faith dispute terms below where permitted).

7.3 DriversEdPro platform enrollment fee—never refundable

When a student checkout includes the separate DriversEdPro platform enrollment fee, that fee is currently U.S. $20.00 (twenty dollars) unless we publish a different amount in the product or in a written agreement with the school. That $20.00 enrollment fee is never refundable under any circumstances, including course withdrawal, school closure, duplicate payment, scheduling conflicts, dissatisfaction, chargebacks later reversed in our favor, or processor-side refunds of other line items. The enrollment fee compensates us for platform activation, fraud prevention, compliance overhead, and payment costs. If a processor or school refunds other portions of a transaction, the enrollment fee portion may still be retained by us or charged to the school per our commercial arrangements.

7.4 Chargebacks, reversals, and bad-faith payment disputes

Initiating a chargeback, payment reversal, or bank dispute concerning charges that were authorized and valid, or doing so to evade obligations you agreed to, is a material breach of these Terms and may violate criminal and civil fraud and computer abuse laws cited in Section 2.

• Administrative recovery. For each chargeback, reversal, or payment dispute we reasonably determine to be wrongful, abusive, or in bad faith, you and (where applicable) your school agree that we may assess a liquidated administrative charge of up to U.S. $150.00 per affected transaction, plus the full amount of any chargeback fees, network fines, or processor assessments Intuit or other networks pass through to us, and reasonable costs of investigation and collection. You agree these amounts are a reasonable estimate of our harm and fees and are not a penalty to the extent characterized as liquidated damages where permitted.
• Immediate school termination. Without limiting other remedies, we may immediately suspend or terminatethe enrolling school's license to the Platform, disable administrator and student access, and cease further services if chargebacks or coordinated payment disputes indicate fraud, policy evasion, or unacceptable financial risk, or if you or the school otherwise materially breaches Section 2, 5, 7, or 10.
• Collection and litigation. Outstanding administrative charges, chargeback losses, and fees may be invoiced to the school or pursued as permitted by law, including in the venues described in Section 14.

7.5 Refunds generally

Refund eligibility for tuition and school-set fees is primarily determined by your school's policies and by the processor's rules, except that the DriversEdPro enrollment fee in Section 7.3 remains non-refundable. Technical failures attributable to us will be handled in good faith case by case without waiving Section 7.3.

7.6 Failed payments

Failed payments may lead to suspension of access until the school or user resolves the issue with the processor.

8. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share personal information. It includes details about cookies, security, location features where applicable, and payments through Intuit. The Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference.

9. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. WE DISCLAIM IMPLIED WARRANTIES SUCH AS MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, EXCEPT WHERE DISCLAIMERS ARE NOT ALLOWED. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

We are not responsible for:

• Quality of instruction, scheduling choices, or policies of your school
• Individual learning outcomes, test scores, or license issuance
• Road safety, accidents, citations, or insurance matters
• Third-party services, including Intuit, hosting providers, email carriers, or mapping providers
• Incorrect taxes, invoices, or payment amounts configured by schools or processors, as further described in Section 7

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, COREBYTES LLC WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS OR THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID COREBYTES LLC DIRECTLY FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, UNLESS APPLICABLE LAW REQUIRES OTHERWISE.

10. Enforcement and intellectual property protection

We take theft of software, content, and trade secrets seriously. If we discover unauthorized copying, resale, scraping, circumvention of technical controls, abusive chargebacks, or use of our Platform to build a competing service without permission, we may act quickly, including disabling accounts, preserving forensic records, seeking injunctive relief, and pursuing damages and fees where available under law. We may also cooperate with law enforcement when a matter involves crime or imminent harm. We are not obligated to provide a cure period before taking action when the risk to users, schools, or our systems is acute, though we will act reasonably in ordinary disputes.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Corebytes LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and contractors from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your misuse of the Service, your content, your violation of these Terms, your violation of others' rights, your tax reporting or collection obligations, or wrongful payment disputes you initiate, except to the extent caused by our willful misconduct.

12. Availability and changes

12.1 Service availability

• We strive for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service.
• Scheduled maintenance may limit access for short periods.
• We are not liable for outages caused by internet providers, hosting vendors, denial-of-service attacks outside our control, or your own device or network issues.

• We may modify, update, or discontinue features to improve security, comply with law, or reflect product strategy.
• We may change compatibility requirements for browsers or operating systems.
• We may update educational content where schools subscribe to refreshed materials.

13. Termination

13.1 Termination by you

You may stop using the Service at any time. Depending on your role, account closure may require action by your school administrator. Some records may be retained as described in the Privacy Policy.

13.2 Termination or suspension by us

• Violation of these Terms or applicable law
• Fraudulent or illegal activity, including payment fraud or abusive chargebacks
• Non-payment of fees owed to us where we bill you directly, or instructions from your school that affect access
• Abuse of the Service or other users
• Security concerns or credible risk to the Platform
• Accumulation of chargebacks, reversals, or processor risk flags that we reasonably associate with your school or account

13.3 Effect of termination

• Your right to access the Service ends except for read-only flows we expressly keep open.
• Your data may be deleted or archived after a reasonable period, subject to backups and legal retention.
• Completed educational records may be retained where state law or the school's obligations require.
• Provisions that by their nature should survive will survive, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, payment obligations (including Section 7), and dispute resolution.

14. Dispute resolution

14.1 Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, excluding conflict-of-law rules that would require another body of law.

14.2 Venue

Subject to applicable law, you agree that exclusive jurisdiction and venue for disputes will lie in the courts located in Franklin County, Washington, or the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Washington, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. If you access the Service from another country, you remain responsible for compliance with local laws; U.S. federal and Washington law govern these Terms except where non-waivable consumer protections in your home jurisdiction require otherwise.

14.3 Informal resolution

Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us at support@driversedpro.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for thirty days.

14.4 Arbitration for smaller consumer disputes

For disputes where you are acting as an individual consumer and the amount in controversy is under ten thousand United States dollars, either party may elect binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in Washington State, except that either party may seek equitable relief in court for intellectual property or misuse of the Service. If this arbitration clause is not enforceable in your jurisdiction, the remainder of this Section still applies to the maximum extent permitted.

14.5 Class action waiver

To the extent permitted by law, you and Corebytes LLC agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative proceeding.

15. General

• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Corebytes LLC about the Service, superseding prior oral or written understandings on the same subject.
• Severability. If a provision is invalid, the remainder remains enforceable.
• No waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Force majeure. We are not liable for delays due to events outside our reasonable control.

16. Updates to these Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect law, product, or risk changes. We will post the revised Terms and update the effective date. Continued use after the effective date may constitute acceptance, except where your jurisdiction requires additional steps.

17. Compliance and accessibility

Schools remain responsible for meeting state driver education rules. We welcome accessibility feedback and will consider reasonable improvements within product constraints.

International users are responsible for compliance with local laws when accessing the Service from outside the United States; the Service is U.S.-centric and data is primarily processed in the United States as described in the Privacy Policy.

By creating an account, clicking an acceptance control, or continuing to use DriversEdPro after notice of changes, you acknowledge that you have read these Terms and our Privacy Policy. Document version 2.1. Last updated April 17, 2026.
