Terms of Use
1. Agreement to these terms
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the Pennant One platform and this website, operated by Statement Branding and Advertising LLC (“Statement Branding,” “we,” “us”), a limited liability company registered in New Jersey. Pennant One is a product name; Statement Branding and Advertising LLC is the legal entity responsible for the service.
By accessing or using Pennant One, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
2. The service
Pennant One is a business-to-business brand governance and content execution platform used by educational institutions and their communications staff. It ingests institutional material a client provides, generates content governed by that client's brand specification, routes content through human approval, and publishes approved content to channels the client has authorized.
Pennant One is not directed to children and is not intended for use by anyone under 18.
3. Service agreements take precedence
Access to the platform is ordinarily provided under a written service agreement between Statement Branding and a client organization. If there is any conflict between these Terms and an applicable service agreement, the service agreement controls.
4. Accounts
Platform accounts are provisioned in connection with a client organization. You agree to provide accurate account information, keep your credentials confidential, and notify us promptly at hello@pennantone.com if you believe your account has been compromised. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the service in violation of applicable law or the rights of others;
- attempt to gain unauthorized access to the service, other clients' data, or related systems;
- probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the service except with our prior written consent;
- interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the service;
- submit student records or other student personal information for ingestion — Pennant One is designed to operate without student data;
- use the service to create or distribute content that is unlawful, deceptive, or infringing;
- resell, sublicense, or provide the service to third parties except as permitted by an applicable service agreement;
- scrape, copy, or reverse engineer the platform.
6. Client materials
Clients retain all ownership of the institutional and brand material they provide or authorize us to ingest. By providing material, the client grants Statement Branding a limited license to process it solely to operate the service on the client's behalf, as described in our Privacy Policy. Each client's material is maintained in a separate, dedicated data set and is never used to improve services for any other client.
The client is responsible for having the necessary rights to the material it provides.
7. Generated content and human approval
Content produced by the platform is generated with the assistance of artificial intelligence and is presented for human review. Nothing publishes to a connected channel without approval by an authorized user of the client organization.
The client is responsible for reviewing content before approval, and approved content is the client's own communication. As between Statement Branding and the client, approved content generated for a client belongs to that client, subject to the applicable service agreement.
8. Intellectual property
The platform, including its software, design, and documentation, is owned by Statement Branding and Advertising LLC and protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited right to use the service as described here or in a service agreement, no rights in the platform are granted to you. “Pennant One” and associated marks and logos are marks of Statement Branding and Advertising LLC.
9. Third-party services
The platform integrates with third-party publishing channels a client chooses to authorize (for example, social platforms, email service providers, and content management systems). Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy practices, and we are not responsible for them. Clients may revoke a channel connection at any time.
10. Privacy
Our collection and use of information is described in the Privacy Policy. Our security practices are described in the Security Statement.
11. Disclaimers
Except as expressly stated in a written service agreement, the service and this website are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that generated content will be free of inaccuracies prior to human review.
12. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Statement Branding will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenues, or data, arising out of or related to the use of the service. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability arising out of or related to the service will not exceed the amounts paid by the applicable client organization for the service in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or one hundred dollars if no such amounts were paid. An applicable service agreement may provide different terms, in which case that agreement controls.
13. Termination
We may suspend or terminate access to the service for breach of these Terms. A client organization's subscription and data handling on termination are governed by its service agreement, including our obligation to delete or return client data as described there and in the Privacy Policy.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The state and federal courts located in New Jersey will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising out of these Terms, and each party consents to their jurisdiction.
15. Changes
We may update these Terms. Material changes will be communicated to clients, and the “last updated” date above will be revised. Continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
