These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website, programs, workshops, and related services provided by Value-Up (“Value Up,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), including value-up.org and any associated landing pages or digital resources (collectively, the “Services”).
By using our Services or submitting a form or inquiry, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our Services. These Terms incorporate our Privacy Policy by reference.
1. Eligibility and Authority
You represent that
- you are at least 18 years old, or you are using the Services under the supervision of a parent, guardian, or authorized school representative;
- any information you submit is truthful, accurate, and complete;
- if you provide information about a student or school, you have the authority to do so;

- your use of the Services complies with all applicable laws and these Terms.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time. We are not responsible for any interruption or discontinuation of the Services.
These Terms do not create an employment, partnership, joint venture, or agency relationship between you and Value Up.
3. Privacy and Communications Practices
Our Privacy Policy, available at value-up.org/privacy, is incorporated into these Terms by reference and governs how we collect, use, and share your personal information.
By using the Services, you acknowledge that we may communicate with you by email, phone, text message, or other means consistent with our Privacy Policy and applicable law. Where required by law, we will seek your prior consent before initiating certain types of communications.
4. Consent to Communications
By submitting a form, request, or inquiry through our Services, you consent to receive communications from Value Up related to your inquiry, request, scheduling, program information, and follow-up by email, phone call, or other contact method permitted by law.
You will receive SMS/MMS text messages from Value Up only if you provide your mobile number and affirmatively opt in through an SMS consent checkbox, written form, verbal consent process, or another consent method accepted by applicable law. Submitting a form without selecting an SMS consent checkbox does not, by itself, enroll you in SMS/MMS text messaging.
Transactional or informational text messages may relate to your inquiry, scheduling request, appointment confirmations, reminders, program updates, and service-related follow-up. Marketing or promotional text messages will be sent only where you have separately provided any required marketing consent.
Consent to receive calls or text messages is not a condition of purchase, enrollment, or participation in any Value Up program. You may revoke consent at any time using the opt-out methods described in these Terms or our Privacy Policy.
5. SMS, Calling, AI Voice, and Voicemail Program Terms
This section applies to Value Up SMS/MMS text messaging programs when you provide a mobile number and opt in to receive text messages from us.
A. Program description
Value Up may send SMS or MMS messages related to inquiries, scheduling requests, appointment confirmations, reminders, program updates, and follow-up communications. If you separately opt in to marketing messages, Value Up may also send promotional messages about school culture programs, resources, events, announcements, and related opportunities.
B. Delivery technology
Text messages may be sent using automated messaging technology or third-party messaging service providers acting on our behalf.
C. Consent standards
For marketing or promotional communications using automated technology to mobile numbers, we rely on your prior express written consent. For informational, transactional, or operational communications, we rely on applicable consent standards under TCPA and related law. Consent is not a condition of purchase or program participation.
D. Message frequency
Message frequency may vary depending on your interaction with us and the programs you are interested in.
E. Charges
Message and data rates may apply. Your mobile carrier’s standard messaging or calling charges may apply.
F. Opt-out
You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP. You may also use other standard opt-out keywords if supported, including STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, or QUIT. For help, reply HELP where supported, or contact us directly using the contact information in Section 20.
You may revoke consent to receive calls or texts, including automated, prerecorded, AI-generated voice, or ringless voicemail communications, by any reasonable method that clearly communicates your request. We will honor revocation requests as required by law and, where applicable, within no more than 10 business days.
G. Effect of opt-out
If you opt out, we may still contact you for communications permitted by law, including certain non-marketing operational, safety, or legally required notices.
H. No carrier liability
Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
I. Number reassignment and accuracy
You agree to provide a valid number that you are authorized to use and to notify us promptly if your number changes. If your number is reassigned and another person receives messages intended for you, you agree to notify us so we can update our records.
J. Recording and logging
Calls may be recorded or monitored for quality assurance and compliance purposes, where permitted by applicable law. We will provide any required disclosure at the time of the call.
6. Form Submissions and User Responsibilities
When you submit information through our website or contact forms, you represent that
- all information is accurate, complete, and current;
- you are authorized to submit the information on behalf of yourself or any organization you represent;
- you will not submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information;
- you will not use the Services to harass, harm, or impersonate any person;
- you will not attempt to circumvent security features or gain unauthorized access to our systems.
We are not responsible for errors caused by inaccurate information you provide. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any login credentials or access information associated with our Services.
7. School Partnerships and Program Scheduling
Value Up partners with schools, districts, and educational organizations to deliver assembly programs, workshops, and professional development. The following applies to those engagements
- Program availability is subject to scheduling, geographic reach, and Value Up’s capacity at the time of booking.
- Schools and administrators submitting an inquiry or booking request represent that they have authority to do so on behalf of their institution.
- Program pricing, dates, logistics, and scope are confirmed through separate written agreements or booking confirmations between Value Up and the contracting school or district.
- Value Up reserves the right to decline or reschedule engagements at its reasonable discretion.
- Where separate engagement agreements exist, those agreements govern the specific program delivery terms and supersede these Terms to the extent of any conflict.
Nothing in these Terms creates an obligation on Value Up to accept any booking request or guarantee program availability.
8. Intellectual Property
The Services, including their text, graphics, logos, images, videos, designs, layouts, program materials, and other content, are owned by or licensed to Value Up and are protected by intellectual property laws.
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Services for personal, non-commercial purposes related to learning about or scheduling Value Up programs.
You may not
- copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, modify, display, or create derivative works from the Services except as expressly permitted by law or with our written permission;
- use Value Up’s name, marks, or branding in a misleading way;
- record, reproduce, or distribute program content without written authorization from Value Up;
- scrape, harvest, or systematically extract data from the Services without authorization.
9. Third-Party Services and Links
Our Services may include links to third-party websites, embed third-party content (such as YouTube videos), or integrate third-party tools (such as Google reCAPTCHA and CRM or scheduling platforms). We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or terms.
Your use of third-party services is governed by those parties’ own terms and privacy policies. We encourage you to review them before providing any personal information.
We may use third-party messaging, analytics, and CRM platforms to operate our Services. Those platforms are subject to their own terms of service.
10. FERPA, COPPA, and School-Specific Legal Frameworks
Certain information encountered through Value Up’s school engagements may be governed by FERPA, COPPA, or other federal or state laws rather than general consumer website rules. These Terms do not limit rights or obligations under those laws.
Where educational records, student data, or school-authorized services are involved, Value Up and the contracting school may enter into separate data processing agreements or provide additional notices, consents, or agreements as required by applicable law.
Value Up operates as a service provider to schools in those arrangements and does not independently maintain or control student education records as defined under FERPA.
11. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
Value Up does not warrant that the Services will meet your specific requirements or that any outcomes from program participation will be achieved. Educational and cultural outcomes vary by school, student population, and individual circumstances.
Some states do not allow exclusion of implied warranties, so portions of this section may not apply to you.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Value Up and its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, contractors, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, or use, arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total liability of Value Up for claims arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms will not exceed the greater of
- the amount you paid, if any, to use the specific Service giving rise to the claim; or
- one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).
Some states do not allow certain limitations, so portions of this section may not apply to you.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Value Up and its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, contractors, and service providers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to
- your use of the Services;
- your violation of these Terms;
- your violation of any applicable law or third-party right;
- any information you provide to us that is false, misleading, or unauthorized.
We reserve the right to assume exclusive control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense of that matter.
14. Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, or decline to fulfill a program request, at any time and for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent or abusive conduct, or if required by law.
You may discontinue use of the Services at any time. Termination does not affect any rights or obligations that arose before termination. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 8, 11, 12, 13, 17, and 18.
15. Electronic Notices and Records
You consent to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, including by email or through our website, where permitted by law. We will send notices by SMS/MMS text message only where you have provided any required consent to receive text messages from us.
You may withdraw consent to receive electronic notices by contacting us using the information in Section 20, but withdrawal may affect your ability to use certain features of the Services.
We may maintain electronic records of your interactions with the Services, including form submissions, consent records, and communications logs, as described in our Privacy Policy.
16. Geographic Scope
Value Up is based in Nebraska and provides programs primarily in the United States. The Services are intended for users located in the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws.
17. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent superseded by applicable federal law.
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Kearney County, Nebraska, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
18. Dispute Resolution
Value Up encourages you to contact us directly to resolve any concerns before pursuing formal legal action. We are committed to addressing issues promptly and in good faith.
Nothing in these Terms prevents either party from seeking emergency injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending resolution of a dispute.
19. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date and may provide additional notice where required by law. Your continued use of the Services after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
