1. The Services
1.1 IntelliBoard operates a platform that provides analytic and reporting services to education communities and institutions that want expanded reporting and analytics for their LMS, SIS, HRIS, or other SaaS-type platforms with which IntelliBoard integrates.
1.2 The platform includes a dashboard and analytics service designed to connect with existing learning management systems (each an “LMS”), student information systems, or other data connections as IntelliBoard makes available and/or you choose to connect to the IntelliBoard platform. In order for the processing of reports and analytics to visualize at an acceptable speed, IntelliBoard integrates and duplicates selected data points to IntelliBoard servers under Customer account authentication. No other Customers can access that data set, and each data set is located in a specific location assigned to that specific Customer, segregating server data. No direct access to data exists, other than through the IntelliBoard application itself.
1.3 In select LMS IntelliBoard integrations, IntelliBoard uses API access and processes data, authenticated by the LMS. Only LMS Partners have access to the API. In some cases, our integration processes LMS queries on connected LMS servers via web services by sending a specific query command from your web browser virtual dashboard to your connected LMS server(s). The data returned reflects learner academic and instructor activity data from your LMS server. This data populates the respective reports and analytic outputs requested which can then be viewed from your virtual dashboard in your web browser. The reports and analytics shown provide an instantaneous snapshot of your LMS based on your Account’s level of access. In other cases, a snapshot of your data is stored on IntelliBoard servers hosted by Amazon Web Services. At no time can your connected LMS data be altered on your LMS servers(s) while logged in on our virtual dashboard, because the dashboard is fundamentally a data viewing or read-only service which only gives you external data viewing rights. To view any live LMS changes at any point in time made to any LMS connected with the IntelliBoard Service, you must refresh (resubmit) the browser page to see any updated changes on your virtual dashboard.
1.4 Access to the IntelliBoard Service may require you to download and install certain software applications (the “Customer Software”) which are covered under a License (below). The License may also be presented to anyone downloading the Customer Software and for the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any conflict between the License contained in this Agreement and any license accepted to download the Customer Software, the License in this Agreement shall prevail. Except for Customer Software, the service and the software underlying or used to deliver the Service will be hosted on servers under the control or direction of IntelliBoard or its third-party providers.

You and IntelliBoard agree that the arbitrator shall not conduct any form of class or collective arbitration nor join or consolidate claims by or for individuals.

To the extent that you or IntelliBoard have sought public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration after the party seeking public injunctive relief has first prevailed in arbitration.
