Terms of Use

What MellowHive is

MellowHive is a planning assistant for families whose school uses Schoology. It reads what the school posts for your family, together with the activities you add, and turns it into an evening plan: what to do tonight, in what order, for how many minutes, and when the evening is done.

These terms are an agreement between you and MellowHive (“we”, “us”). By creating an account at https://app.mellowhivego.com, or by joining the early access list, you agree to them and to our Privacy Policy. MellowHive is offered only in the United States.

Early access

MellowHive is in early access. We invite families in small groups, and the service will change as we learn. It is provided as is: features may change, pause or end, and there may be interruptions. We’ll tell you in advance before we stop the service, whenever we can.

Joining the early access list doesn’t guarantee an invitation or a date.

Accounts and the parent’s role

  • An account is created by a parent or legal guardian who is 18 or older. You must give accurate information and keep your password and your student’s PIN private.
  • You may add only children you are the parent or legal guardian of, and you agree that their school information may be used to build the family’s plan.
  • You decide what your student sees and which devices they can use. You’re responsible for what happens under your family’s account.
  • Tell us right away if you think someone else has accessed your account.

Schoology

MellowHive is independent. Schoology is a trademark of PowerSchool. MellowHive is not affiliated with or endorsed by PowerSchool or any school.

When you connect Schoology, you authorize us to sign in as you and to read the information Schoology shows your family, on your behalf, for the purpose of building your plan. MellowHive only reads: it never posts, comments, submits work or changes a setting in Schoology. You can disconnect at any time.

You’re responsible for having the right to use your Schoology account this way and for following your school’s rules about it. If your school or PowerSchool changes how Schoology works or limits this kind of access, parts of MellowHive may stop working.

The plan is a helper, not the source of truth

MellowHive works from what the school posts, and it estimates minutes and suggests when to start. It can be late, incomplete or wrong, for example if a teacher posts a change in an unusual way or if Schoology is unavailable. Schoology and your teachers are the source of truth for due dates, grades and instructions. Check anything important there. Suggestions are only suggestions: you accept or skip them.

Acceptable use

Please don’t:

  • use MellowHive for anyone other than your own family, or share your account outside it
  • try to get into accounts, data or systems that aren’t yours, or interfere with the service
  • copy, resell or build a competing service from MellowHive, or scrape it
  • use it in a way that breaks the law or your school’s rules

We may suspend an account that does these things, after telling you when we reasonably can.

Your content and ours

The information from your family’s Schoology account and what you add yourself stay yours. You give us permission to process it only to run MellowHive for your family, as described in the Privacy Policy. MellowHive itself, including its design, text and software, belongs to us.

Ending your use

You can stop using MellowHive and ask us to delete your family at any time; see the Privacy Policy for how deletion works. We may end or suspend the service, or an account, for example if we close early access or if these terms are broken. If we close MellowHive, we’ll give notice when we can and delete the data as the Privacy Policy describes.

Liability

MellowHive is free during early access and provided as is, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the extent the law allows. We aren’t responsible for missed assignments, grades, or decisions based on the plan, or for problems caused by Schoology, your school or other services. To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim about MellowHive is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim (during early access, that is zero) or $50, whichever is greater. Some states don’t allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled by the state or federal courts located in Florida.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We’ll change the date and version at the top, and tell parents in the app or by email before a meaningful change takes effect. If you keep using MellowHive after that, the new terms apply.
