1. GENERAL PROVISIONS

1.1 Agreement.

The parties, hereby, agree to abide by all applicable provisions of the Agreement. The parties agree that Tagg will provide the following, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement: (a) Upon approval of a Substitute, Tagg will provide access to the Tagg Platform, allowing School’s to post Jobs or request Substitute for specific Jobs; (b) Tagg will put forth diligent effort to add more Schools to the Tagg Platform to add jobs for potential fulfilment by the Substitute. Nothing herein shall be construed, whatsoever, as a promise or guarantee that the Substitute will be able to secure Jobs; (c) The Tagg Platform will provide the School the ability to set the rate of pay for an upcoming Job for view by the Substitute; (d) If requested, Tagg will provide a basic training to all substitutes about how to use the Tagg Platform; (e) Tagg will ensure that any substitutes using the Tagg Platform must first provide to Tagg and/or the School the appropriate, satisfactory evidence of any legally applicable licensure, fingerprinting, and background checks. Substitute hereby agrees to allow Tagg to provide copies of this evidence on behalf of substitutes to the School upon request. i.  Tagg will immediately remove any substitute from the Tagg Platform if it receives any new information regarding the substitute’s background or activities which makes him or her unfit to be a substitute. (f) At the School’s request, Tagg will block any substitute from accepting jobs at the School.

The parties agree that the Substitute will do the following: (a) The Substitute may provide his or her services to any School outside of the Tagg Platform as he or she determined, except that the Substitute agrees to exclusively use the Tagg Platform for provision of the substitute teaching services needed by a School who utilizes the Tagg Platform. If a Substitute attempts to solicit or discuss providing substitute teaching services to a School that utilizes the Tagg Platform outside of the Tagg Platform, such Substitute shall be subject to immediately removal from the Tagg Platform, and any other remedies available to Tagg at law or equity. i.  The previous provision notwithstanding, the School may engage substitutes who use the Tagg Platform outside of the Tagg Platform only for long-term substitute teaching services. The School may use the Tagg Platform, including its ratings of the substitutes, to inform its decision-making process for hiring a long term substitute, or use the Tagg Platform to hire long-term substitutes. If the School hires a substitute who uses the Tagg Platform as a long term substitute or a full-time teacher the School agrees to pay a finder’s fee equivalent to 10% of the first 12 months of the teacher salary to be paid to Tagg upon hire. (b) The School and Substitute will be solely responsible for determining the rate of pay for a given period of absence. (c) While Tagg will provide a platform for the School and the substitute to interact, the School will be ultimately responsible for working with the Substitute on issues like the environment in which the substitutes perform their work, coordinating any details of the work, including, without limitation, the rules, policies, and procedures of the school, and ensuring lesson plans, as needed, are delivered to the substitutes or that the substitutes produce their own lesson plans. (d) The Substitute will not seek pay or attempt to be paid by a School that uses the Tagg System outside of the Tagg System for substitute teaching services.

1.2 Duties.

(a) The Substitute agrees to not reproduce, modify, prepare derivative works based upon, distribute, license, lease, sell, resell, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform, transmit, stream, broadcast or otherwise exploit the Tagg System, except as expressly permitted in this Agreement. (b) The Substitute agrees to not decompile, reverse engineer or disassemble the Tagg Platform except as may be permitted by applicable law.

1.3 Roles.

(a) The Tagg System exists to facilitate engagements and payments between the School and substitutes. Tagg is not a party to any of the agreements, contracts or engagements formed between the School and the substitutes through the Tagg Platform. (b) The parties agree that the substitutes utilized through the Tagg Platform are not, under any circumstances, to be considered the employees of Tagg. (c) Tagg is the creator of a technology platform that creates a marketplace to connect potential Schools with Substitutes. Through the Tagg Platform, Schools may connect with a network of Substitutes with whom they may arrange to procure Substitute Teaching Services. Tagg and Substitutes intend that Substitutes will provide the services to Schools strictly as an independent contractor, and not as an employee, worker, agent, joint venturer, partner or franchisee of Tagg or any School for any purpose, other than for provision of Long Term Substitute Teaching Services. Tagg does not provide Substitute Teaching Services, nor does it employ or contract with individuals to perform Substitute Teaching Services. Tagg’s role is limited to offering the Tagg System and the Tagg Platform for Schools and Substitutes to connect, and facilitating payments from Schools to Substitutes and related administrative support. Tagg does not make any representations regarding the Substitutes’ employment classification with Schools. (d) Tagg and Substitutes acknowledge and agree that the services provided under this Agreement are outside the usual course of Tagg’s business and that the services will be performed outside all places or locations of Tagg’s business.

1.4 The Tagg Platform.

(a) Access to the Tagg Platform will allow Substitutes to have access to potential job listings or be requested for jobs by Schools. From time to time, in their sole and complete discretion, Schools will post or make requests for Jobs on the Tagg Platform, setting forth the nature of the substitute teaching Job requested. Jobs posted or requested will include, at a minimum, the date, timeframe for completion, school, grade level, subject area, and Job Rate of Pay. Schools may request a specific Substitute through the Platform. Substitutes have the opportunity to review the Jobs and select or accept those Jobs as they determine in their sole discretion. Substitutes can create preferences for certain types of Jobs based on criteria such as areas of interest, location, and date/time. Tagg does not guarantee any minimum number of jobs will be available to Substitutes at any point during the term of this Agreement. Subject only to the limitation set forth in Section 9.1, Substitutes are not obligated to review the Jobs posted or requested or select any Jobs posted or requested by any School at any time. Once a Substitute selects a Job, the platform will confirm the Job has been booked by the Substitute. Once a Job is booked, a contract is formed directly between the School and Substitute for Substitute to complete the Job. Substitute hereby appoints Tagg to be its disclosed agent for the purposes of entering into such a contract with the School. Substitute agrees that Substitute’s name, phone number, likeness, or any other profile information provided by the Substitute may be provided or made available to School by or on behalf of Tagg.

(b) Each party agrees to not disclose any confidential information to unauthorized persons without the written consent of the other party, or except as permitted under applicable law for the sole purpose of carrying out the legitimate provisions of this Agreement. (c) The parties agree to exercise reasonable care to protect confidential information against accidental or unauthorized access, modifications, disclosures, or destruction. (d) Both parties agree to abide by all applicable federal and state laws, and policies of the School or Tagg regarding confidentiality and privacy. (e) Both parties agree to not, under any circumstances, share any access codes, passwords, or the like with any unauthorized individuals without the written permission of the other party.

(a) Substitute acknowledges that the Tagg Platform is intended to refer Schools only to those Substitutes who maintain the highest standards of professionalism and quality of service.

As a condition of using the Tagg Platform, Substitute agrees to maintain high standards of professionalism and service, including but not limited to maintaining appearance and grooming standards consistent with industry standard, and maintaining a School rating at or above the minimum acceptable rating, as determined by Tagg in its sole discretion, for continued access to the Tagg Platform.

(b) Modifications to pay rates and fees will be effective upon notification to Substitute through the Platform and will supersede any and all prior versions. By accepting this Agreement, Substitute authorizes Tagg to withhold Tagg’s User Fee and any other applicable fees from the payment made to the Substitute for each Job.

Company does not control any such websites, and is not responsible for their (i) availability or accuracy, or (ii) content, advertising, products, or services.

11. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

(a) Substitute represents and warrants to Tagg that: (a) Substitute has the legal right to provide the services that are contemplated by this Agreement in the jurisdiction in which Substitute plans to provide Substitute Teaching Services and has the required skill, experience, and qualifications to perform the services; (b) Substitute shall perform services in a professional and diligent way, including keeping confidential any and all confidential information of the School or students, (c) Substitute shall perform services in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including the rules and policies of the School, and (d) Substitute answered all questions honestly and accurately during registration on to the Tagg Platform. Substitute acknowledges that his/her failure to comply with the foregoing shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and may result in termination of access to the Tagg Platform

12. INDEMNIFICATION

(a) Substitute shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Tagg and its affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns from and against all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, actions, judgments, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or resulting from: (a) bodily injury, harassment, sexual harassment, sexual assault, or sexual misconduct of any kind, death of any person, theft or damage to real or tangible, personal property resulting from Substitute’s acts or omissions; and (b) Substitute’s breach of any representation, warranty, or obligation under this Agreement (c) any claims, suits, or actions related to this provision, including any such claims brought by Substitute or by any third party with respect to any claims for taxes or contributions, including penalties and interest.

(b) The Substitute Teaching Services that Substitute provides to Schools are fully and entirely Substitute’s responsibility. Tagg is not responsible or liable for the actions or inactions of a School or other third party in relation to the Services provided by Substitute. Substitute understands, therefore, that by using the Tagg Platform, Substitute will be introduced to third parties in relation to whom Tagg has not conducted any background or reference checking and that Substitute uses the Tagg Platform at his/her own risk.

13. INSURANCE

(a) It is the sole responsibility of the Substitute to maintain adequate workers’ compensation (or, if permitted by law, occupational accident insurance), unemployment, liability, and other forms of insurance.  Furthermore, if permitted by applicable law, you may choose not to insure yourself against industrial injuries at all, but do so at your own risk.

14. OTHER BUSINESS ACTIVITIES PERMITTED

(a) As an independent contractor, Substitute may be engaged or employed in any other business, trade, profession, or other activity, including providing Substitute Teaching Services to customers booked through means other than the Tagg Platform, including other web-based portals. However, Substitute shall not affirmatively solicit Schools originally referred through the Tagg Platform to book Jobs through any means other than the Tagg Platform.

15. ASSIGNMENT

(a) Substitute may not assign this Agreement, absent written authorization by Tagg. Tagg may freely assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement at any time. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of, be binding on, and be enforceable against, each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; GOVERNING LAW

16.1 Informal Negotiations.

(a) To expedite resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Agreement or otherwise arising from the relationship between Substitute and Tagg, Substitute and Tagg agree to first attempt to negotiate any dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations will commence upon written notice. Substitute’s address for such notices is the address provided by Substitute to Tagg. Tagg’s address for such notices is Tagg Education, LLC, 5665 Vessey Road, Colorado Springs, CO. 80908.

16.2 Mutual Arbitration Provision.

(a) Mandatory and Exclusive Arbitration. Tagg and Substitute mutually agree to resolve any disputes between them exclusively through final and binding arbitration instead of filing a lawsuit in court. This Mutual Arbitration Provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) and shall apply, including, but not limited, to any and all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Substitute’s classification as an independent contractor, Substitute’s provision of Services under this Agreement, the payments received by Substitute for providing Services, Substitute’s registration to use the Tagg Platform, the formation and/or termination of this Agreement, and all other aspects of the Substitute’s relationship with Tagg, past or present, whether arising under federal, state or local statutory and/or common law.

Only an arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, and/or formation of this Mutual Arbitration Provision.

However, as stated in Section 16.2(d) below, the preceding clause of this paragraph shall not apply to the Class Action Waiver and Representative Action Waiver.

BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE ALL SUCH DISPUTES, THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT AGREE THAT ALL SUCH DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE AN ARBITRATOR AND NOT BY WAY OF A COURT OR JURY TRIAL.

If either party wishes to initiate arbitration, the initiating party must notify the other party in writing via certified mail, return receipt requested, or hand delivery within the applicable statute of limitations period. This demand for arbitration must include (1) the name and address of the party seeking arbitration, (2) a statement of the legal and factual basis of the claim, and (3) a description of the remedy sought. Any demand for arbitration by Substitute must be delivered to: Tagg Education, LLC. Attn: Legal Department, 5665 Vessey Road, Colorado Springs CO, 80908.

(b) CLASS ACTION WAIVER-PLEASE READ. Tagg and Substitute mutually agree that by entering into this agreement to arbitrate, both waive their right to have any dispute or claim brought, heard or arbitrated as a class action and/or collective action, and an arbitrator shall not have any authority to hear or arbitrate any class and/or collective action (“Class Action Waiver”). (c) REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WAIVER-PLEASE READ. Tagg and Substitute mutually agree that by entering into this agreement to arbitrate, both waive their right to have any dispute or claim brought, heard or arbitrated as a private attorney general act representative action, and an arbitrator shall not have any authority to arbitrate a private attorney general action (“Representative Action Waiver”). (d) Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Agreement, this Mutual Arbitration Provision, or the AAA Rules, as defined below, any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver and/or Representative Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. As stated above, all other disputes regarding interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Mutual Arbitration Provision shall be determined exclusively by an arbitrator. (e) Substitute agrees and acknowledges that entering into this Mutual Arbitration Provision does not change Substitute’s status as an independent contractor in fact and in law, that Substitute is not an employee of Tagg or any School and that any disputes in this regard shall be subject to arbitration as provided in this Mutual Arbitration Provision. (f) Unless Tagg and Substitute otherwise mutually agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where Substitute resides. If Substitute’s claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents Tagg and Substitute submit to the arbitrator, unless Substitute requests a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. Unless Substitute waives the right to a hearing in writing, a hearing shall always be conducted if Substitute’s claim exceeds $10,000. (g) The Arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of Tagg and Substitute. Unless Tagg and Substitute mutually agree otherwise, the Arbitrator shall be an attorney licensed to practice in the location where the arbitration proceeding will be conducted or a retired federal or state judicial officer who presided in the jurisdiction where the arbitration will be conducted, and who has experience in the underlying subject matter. If the parties cannot agree on the Arbitrator, the selection of the Arbitrator shall be governed by the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules (AAA Rules). (h) Regardless of whether the Arbitrator is affiliated with the American Arbitration Association, the parties agree that any arbitration shall be governed by the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules (AAA Rules), except as follows (unless and to the extent otherwise mutually agreed by Tagg and Substitute): (1) The arbitration shall be heard by one Arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. The Arbitrator shall be an attorney with experience in the law underlying the dispute; (2) Tagg shall pay the Arbitrator’s fees and costs unless the relief sought in the Substitute’s demand for arbitration was found to be frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as determined by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), unless applicable law requires otherwise; (3) The Arbitrator may issue orders (including subpoenas to third parties) allowing the parties to conduct discovery sufficient to allow each party to prepare that party’s claims and/or defenses, taking into consideration that arbitration is designed to be a speedy and efficient method for resolving disputes; (4) Except as provided in the Class Action Waiver and Representative Action Waiver, the Arbitrator may award all remedies to which a party is entitled under applicable law and which would otherwise be available in a court of law, but shall not be empowered to award any remedies that would not have been available in a court of law for the claims presented in arbitration. The Arbitrator shall apply the state or federal substantive law, or both, as is applicable; (5) The Arbitrator may hear motions to dismiss and/or motions for summary judgment and will apply the standards of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governing such motions; (6) The Arbitrator’s decision or award shall be in writing with findings of fact and conclusions of law; (7) Either Tagg or Substitute may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief on the ground that without such relief the arbitration provided in this Section 12.2 may be rendered ineffectual. (i) Regardless of any other terms of this this Agreement or Mutual Arbitration Provision, nothing prevents Substitute from making a report to or filing a claim or charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, U.S. Department of Labor, Securities Exchange Commissions, National Labor Relations Board, or Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, and nothing in this Agreement or Mutual Arbitration Provision prevents the investigation by a government agency of any report, claim or charge otherwise covered by this arbitration provision. This Mutual Arbitration Provision also does not prevent federal administrative agencies from adjudicating claims and awarding remedies based on the claims addressed in this Section 12.2, even if the claims would otherwise be covered by this Mutual Arbitration Provision. Nothing in this Mutual Arbitration Provision prevents or excuses a party from satisfying any conditions precedent and/or exhausting administrative remedies under applicable law before bringing a claim in arbitration. Tagg will not retaliate against Substitute for filing a claim with an administrative agency or for exercising rights (individually or in concert with others) under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act. (j) The AAA Rules may be found at www.adr.org or by searching for AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules using a service such as www.Google.com or www.Bing.com. (k) Substitute’s Right to Opt Out of Arbitration. Arbitration is not a mandatory condition of Substitute’s contractual relationship with Tagg, and therefore Substitute may submit a statement notifying Tagg that Substitute wishes to opt out and not be subject to this Mutual Arbitration Provision. In order to opt out, Substitute must notify Tagg of Substitute’s intention to opt out by submitting to Tagg at Tagg Education, LLC. Attn: Legal Department, 5665 Vessey Road, Colorado Springs CO, 80908, a signed and dated written notice stating that Substitute is opting out of this Mutual Arbitration Provision. Substitute also may opt out by sending an email to support@Taggeducation.com stating Substitute’s intention to opt out. In order to be effective, Substitute’s opt out notice must be provided within 30 days of the date this Agreement is electronically signed by Substitute. If Substitute opts out as provided in this paragraph, Substitute will not be subject to any adverse action from Tagg as a consequence of that decision and he/she may pursue available legal remedies without regard to this Mutual Arbitration Provision. If Substitute does not opt out within 30 days of the effective date of this Agreement, Substitute shall be deemed to have voluntarily agreed to this Mutual Arbitration Provision. (l) Substitute acknowledges and agrees that if Tagg modifies any provision of this Agreement other than any term of this Section 12.2, Substitute will not have a renewed opportunity to opt out of arbitration. Substitute further acknowledges and agrees that if Tagg modifies the addresses for submission of opt-out notices identified in this Section 12.2, Substitute will not have a renewed opportunity to opt of arbitration. If, however, Tagg modifies any provision of this Section 12.2 other than the addresses for submission of opt-out notices, Substitute will have a renewed opportunity to opt out of arbitration. In such circumstances, the 30-day opt out period will begin to run upon your electronically signing the modified Agreement. Changes to any information referenced at hyperlinks from the Agreement or Arbitration Provision shall not create a renewed opportunity to opt-out. (m) Right To Consult With A Lawyer: Substitute has the right to consult with private counsel of Substitute’s choice for independent legal advice with respect to any aspect of this Agreement or Mutual Arbitration Provision, or any claim that may be subject to this Mutual Arbitration Provision. (n) In the event any portion of this Mutual Arbitration Provision is deemed unenforceable, the remainder of this Mutual Arbitration Provision will be enforceable. In any case in which (1) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, or representative action and (2) there is a final judicial determination that all or part of the Class Action Waiver and/or Representative Action Waiver is invalid or unenforceable, the class, collective, or representative general action to that extent must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the portion of the Class Action Waiver and Representative Action Waiver that is valid and enforceable shall be enforced in arbitration.

16.3 Governing Law.

(a) Except for the Mutual Arbitration Provision set forth in Section 12.2, which is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, this Agreement shall be governed and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of Colorado, notwithstanding any principles of conflicts of law.

17. MODIFICATION

(a) Substitute hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by using or receiving access to the Tagg Platform, Substitute and Tagg are bound by the then-current version of this Agreement, including any supplements to this Agreement or documents incorporated herein, including any Schedules or Attachments.

18. DEFEND TRADE SECRETS ACT OF 2016.

(a) Substitute acknowledges receipt of the following notice under 18 U.S.C § 1833(b)(1): “An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any Federal or State trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (A) is made (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (B) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.”

19. MISCELLANEOUS

All Notices shall be delivered by personal delivery, nationally recognized overnight courier (with all fees pre-paid), facsimile or e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission), or certified or registered mail (in each case, return receipt requested, postage prepaid), or by electronic mail. This Agreement, together with any other documents incorporated herein by reference, and related exhibits and schedules, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. This Agreement may only be amended, modified, or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each party hereto, and any of the terms thereof may be waived, only by a written document signed by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of waiver, by the party or parties waiving compliance. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, if any term or provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, including by facsimile or other electronic signature, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Headings appear solely for convenience of reference. Such headings are not part of this Agreement and shall not be used to construe it. (b) This Agreement may not be amended, by implication or otherwise, by any marketing material contained on Tagg’s website or the Tagg Platform. Nothing contained in this provision or this Agreement is intended to or shall be interpreted to create any third-party beneficiary claims. (c) Substitute acknowledges that he/she has read and understands this Agreement and also acknowledges that he/she had a reasonable and adequate opportunity to seek and receive independent legal advice, at the Substitute’s own expense, prior to signing this Agreement.

TAGG EDUCATION, LLC. (“Tagg”) Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how TaggEducation, LLC (“Tagg, we, our, us”) will gather, use,
and maintain your personal information. It will also explain your legal rights to control our use
of that information.

By using the Tagg Platform, you confirm that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy,
and our Terms of Service (together referred to herein as the “Agreement”). The Agreement
governs the use of the Tagg Platform. Tagg will gather, use, and maintain information consistent
with the Agreement.

1. Information Received by Tagg
Personal Information Tagg collects certain information such as your name, address,
approximate geographic location of your computer or mobile device, telephone number, email
address and bank account and other Financial Information if you voluntarily choose to share such
information with Tagg. We do require that you furnish this information when you register with us
as a substitute, teacher, or school because we need the information in order to provide the Tagg
Platform. When you register your account, and through communications transmitted through our
Site and your use of the Tagg mobile application, we collect information including your name,
address, phone number and email address. You also may choose to send Tagg personal
information in an email message containing inquiries about the Tagg Platform. Certain offerings
of the Tagg Platform, such as newsletters, surveys, contests, and the like are optional and so you
are not required to enter them or to give us your data in connection with them. Where you do
choose to enter them, we will use your data to operate and manage the survey, contest or similar
in connection with our legitimate interest in promoting our business and the Tagg Platform.

Cookies and Other Technologies. When you visit websites on the Internet, your browser may
automatically transmit information to the websites you visit throughout every visit, including
ours. In a similar way, when you use our applications, we will access and use mobile device IDs
to recognise your device. Like many websites, we use “cookies” and equivalent techniques
through our mobile applications to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we
transfer to your computer’s hard disk.
We utilize persistent cookies that only Tagg can read and use, and access mobile device IDs:
● to save your login information for future logins to the Tagg Platform;
● to hold session information; and
● to track user preferences.
We utilize session ID cookies and similar technologies:
● to enable certain features of the Tagg Platform;
● to better understand how you interact with the Site and the Tagg Platform;
● to monitor usage by our Users and web traffic routing on the Tagg Platform;
● to track the number of entries in Tagg promotions, sweepstakes and contests; and
● to identify visited areas of the Tagg Platform.

Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted from your computer when you log off from
the Tagg Platform and then close your browser.
You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt
you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies,
however, you will not be able to use all portions or all functionalities of the Tagg Platform.
We and our service providers may also use “pixel tags,” “web beacons,” “clear GIFs,” or similar
means in connection with the Tagg Platform and HTML-formatted email messages to, among
other things, track the actions of Users and email recipients, to determine the success of
marketing campaigns, and to compile statistics about Site usage and response rates. We also
engage one or more third party service providers to serve online advertisements on our behalf.
They may use a “pixel tag” which triggers a cookie to collect information about your visits to the
Site and to other websites, and they may use that information and share and combine it with
other information with their partners to show you advertisements for goods and services you
might be interested in on the Site and on other websites and apps, including by observing the
kinds of products and subject-matter you are interested in and certain demographic information
about you.

Device Information. When you visit and interact with the Tagg Platform or the Site, Tagg may
collect certain information automatically, including, but not limited to, the type of computer or
mobile device you use, your mobile device’s unique device ID, the IP address of your computer
or mobile device, your operating system, the type of Internet browser(s) you use, and
information about the way you use the Tagg Platform (“Device Information”). We may use
Device Information to monitor the regions from which Users navigate the Site or the Tagg
Platform and for security and fraud prevention purposes. Tools with the goal of anonymizing
certain Device Information (like the TOR network) are forbidden on the Tagg Platform. While
we respect your right to hide this information, we believe that doing so is in conflict with the
spirit of our platform and our desire to host an open and honest marketplace. Use of such tools
hampers the functionalities of the Tagg Platform.

Identity Verification. We may collect personal information, such as your date of birth, taxpayer
identification number, and address, to validate your identity or conduct background checks
(“Identity Information”).
Background Checks. We may collect background check information, if you plan to become a
substitute teacher, to qualify you for work with certain schools/school districts according to
applicable state and federal law.
Financial Information. To help users set up a payment account with Stripe and help schools
make payments to their independent contractor substitute teachers, and pay fees, we may collect
financial information, including name, address, credit card number, bank routing numbers, tax
information, and any other payment information (“Financial Information”).
Location Information. When you visit the Tagg Platform via a mobile application, we use GPS
technology (or other similar technology) to determine your current location in order to determine
the city you are located in and approximate distance from schools to improve service for our
Users. We will not share your current location obtained in this manner with other Users.
Public Areas. Your profile on the Tagg Platform consists of information about you, and may
include personal information, photographs, work history, skills, hourly pay rates, feedback/rating
information, and other information, including your username (“Profile”). The information in
your Profile may be visible to all Users.

2. Tagg’s Use of Personal Information
Tagg uses Personal Information (including Identity Information and Financial Information) for
the following purposes:

To operate and make available the Tagg Platform. We use your data to connect you with

Advertising. Ads are a standard part of user experience on the Internet, and Tagg believes that
targeted advertising enhances this experience. Tagg may use cookies and other technologies and
personal information to place ads where they believe interested parties will see them. In addition
to banner ads, Tagg may advertise products, companies and events that we think might interest
you through the email address you provide. Your choices regarding third party ads are set forth in
the Choice/Opt-Out section below. Advertising and marketing is carried out as necessary for our
legitimate interests in providing an engaging and relevant experience, promoting our services,
and growing our business.
Analytics and Market Research. Tagg may analyze your information and web navigational data
based on your interests, and may use the analysis from this information in a way that doesn’t
reveal a name, email address or other “real-world” identity (“Market Analysis”) in order to
market the Tagg Platform, improve the likelihood of a sale to a group of potential Users, and
increase the likelihood that a group’s experience with the Tagg Platform is relevant to its interests
as a whole, as necessary for our legitimate interests in providing an engaging and relevant
experience, promoting our services, and growing our business.
Tagg uses information to sell services to Users who express an interest in these services, through
a poll for example, or to Users who can be presumed to have an interest based on results from
our Market Analysis. We do this as necessary for our legitimate interests in providing an
engaging and relevant experience, promoting our services, and growing our business.
● Google Analytics: we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service. Google Analytics
uses cookies to help Tagg analyze how visitors use the Site. The information generated

3. With Whom Does Tagg Share Information
We only share the information we collect about you as described in this Privacy Policy or as
described at the time of collection or sharing, including as follows:

Third Party Agents. To operate the Tagg Platform, including processing your transactions, we
may share your information with our agents, representatives, contractors and service providers
(“Agents”) so they can provide us with support services as follows:
● Email origination,
● Identity/background check requirements in relation to substitutes;
● Fraud detection;
● Receipt or support services,
● Customer relationship management services,
● Financial transaction fulfillment (in which we are currently supported by Stripe who
process your information in accordance with their own privacy policy here:
https://stripe.com/gb/privacy); and
● To otherwise help us provide the Tagg Platform, including all of the things described in
the preceding section.

Other Users. Tagg facilitates contact between schools, teachers, and substitutes and reserves the
right to share a substitute’s contact information (e.g. phone number, or email and postal address)
with a teacher or school and vice versa, or with their legal or other representative, in order to
facilitate the resolution of a dispute related to or arising from an interaction between two or more
Users of the platform. This exchange of information is a mandatory part of the Tagg Platform.
Legal Obligations Tagg may disclose personal information or User Generated Content, including
location data or communication data, to a third party if required to do so by law or pursuant to a
court order, warrant or subpoena. Tagg reserves the right to disclose personal information from
both private and public areas of the Site and the Tagg Platform in the absence of a court order
warrant or subpoena if we are given reason to believe, in our sole discretion, that someone is
causing injury to or interfering with the rights of Users, the general public, or Tagg or its
partners, parents or affiliates.
It is our policy to provide notice to Users before producing their information in response to law
enforcement requests unless (i) we are prohibited by law or court order from doing so, (ii) we
have reason to believe the User’s account has been compromised such that the notice would go
to the wrong person, or notice would otherwise be counterproductive or would create a risk to
safety, or (iii) it is an emergency request and prior notice would be impractical (in which case we
may provide notice after the fact).
Business Affiliates Finally, Tagg reserves the right to transfer, sell and/or distribute all
information collected through the Tagg Platform to an affiliate, subsidiary, or third party in the
event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition
of all or part of our business, assets or stock. We will require the new entity to follow this
Privacy Policy with respect to your personal information, as and to the extent required by
applicable law.
4. Tagg’s Information Retention Policy
We retain personal data for for as long as you are a User in order to meet our contractual
obligations to you, and for such longer period as may be in our legitimate interests and to comply
with our legal obligations. We may also retain aggregate information beyond this time for
research purposes and to help us develop and improve our services. You cannot be identified
from aggregate information retained or used for these purposes.
Your rights
You have the right under certain circumstances:
● to be provided with a copy of your personal information held by us;
● to request the rectification or erasure of your personal information held by us;
● to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information (while we verify or
investigate your concerns with this information, for example);
● to request that your provided personal data be provided to you in a structured, commonly
used and machine-readable format.
Where the processing of your personal information by us is based on consent, you have the right

instrumental, musical, or other sound effects, hereby consent to our use of these materials as

6. Tagg’s Security of Collected Information
Your Tagg account is password-protected so that only you and authorized Tagg staff have access
to your account information. In order to maintain this protection, do not give your password to
anyone. Also, if you share a computer, you should sign out of your Tagg account and close the
browser window before someone else logs on. This will help protect your information entered on
public terminals from disclosure to third parties.
Tagg takes reasonable precautions to ensure that your information is secure on its system by
backing up data in separate backup drives and using public key access encryption and firewalls
on both our main and backup servers. Tagg has staff dedicated to maintaining this Privacy Policy
and other privacy initiatives, periodically reviewing security, and making sure that every Tagg
employee is aware of our security practices. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet
can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, Tagg cannot guarantee the security of any
information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. While Tagg will use
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the security of all credit card and all other Personal
Information, we expressly disclaim any liability for any unauthorized access to or use of our
secure servers and/or any and all Personal Information and/or Financial Information stored
therein, and you agree to hold Tagg harmless for any damages that may result therefrom. If you
have any further questions on this issue, please refer to the Terms of Service.
Tagg expressly disclaims any liability that may arise should any other individuals obtain the
information you submit to the Tagg Platform.

7. How Can Users Update Their Information?
You can update your Personal Information at any time by logging in and clicking on the
“Account” tab. There you can view, update and correct your account information.
So that we can protect the integrity of sensitive data, there are certain pieces of information, such
as your age, that you cannot alter yourself. For example, since children under 18 are not allowed
to register as Users, we need to take reasonable measures to preserve the accuracy of our Users’
ages.
Our databases automatically update any Personal Information you edit in your profile.
Information transmitted through boards, chats, polls or through any other means remains in our
databases and becomes the property of Tagg upon submission.

8. Contacting Us?
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, the practices of the Site, your dealings with
the Tagg Platform, or if you have technical problems, you may contact us at
support@taggeducation.com.
Tagg’s staff will respond to all requests sent through mail or email from Users and parents of
Users with questions about privacy or the types of personal information is stored on the Tagg
database, or requests to nullify such personal information.

I HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOREGOING TERMS OF SERVICE, AS WELL AS THE PRIVACY POLICY, AND AGREE THAT MY USE OF THE TAGG PLATFORM IS AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF MY AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
