Carline Hound End User License Agreement

Effective Date: April 24, 2026 Last Updated: April 24, 2026

This End User License Agreement (this “Agreement” or “EULA”) is a legal contract between you (“you” or “User”) and Carline Hound, LLC, a Texas limited liability company located at 2600 South Shore Harbor Dr, Ste 300, League City, TX 77573 (“Carline Hound,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your download, installation, and use of the Carline Hound mobile and web application software, together with any related documentation, updates, and upgrades (collectively, the “App”).

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not download, install, or use the App.

The App is a workforce tool intended solely for use by school personnel and adults designated by a school to assist with student dismissal and car line operations. The App is not a consumer product, is not intended for use by parents or students, and is not directed to children. The App is made available through the Apple App Store (operated by Apple Inc.), the Google Play Store (operated by Google LLC), and a web-based interface at carlinehound.com. Your use of the App is also subject to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, each of which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. If a School Customer (as defined below) has a separate written agreement with Carline Hound, that agreement controls over this EULA to the extent of any conflict with respect to that School Customer’s use.


1. Definitions

  • “App” has the meaning given in the introduction.
  • “School Customer” means a K-12 school, school district, or other educational institution that has contracted with Carline Hound to use the App.
  • “Authorized User” means an individual who is at least 18 years of age and who has been authorized by a School Customer to use the App on the School Customer’s behalf, including school administrators, teachers, and other school staff, and adult volunteers or helpers (such as car line assistants) whom the School Customer has designated to support dismissal operations.
  • “Content” means any data, text, images, information, or other material uploaded to, entered into, or generated through the App, including student directory information, pickup designations, messages, and usage records.
  • “School Data” means Content that belongs to or is provided by a School Customer.
  • “App Store” means the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store, as applicable to your installation of the App.

2. Eligibility and Intended Users

The App is licensed only to Authorized Users. By accepting this Agreement, you represent and warrant that:

  • you are at least 18 years of age;
  • you have been authorized by a School Customer to access the App on that School Customer’s behalf;
  • you will use the App only within the scope of that authorization; and
  • if you are accepting this Agreement on behalf of a School Customer or other entity, you have the authority to bind that entity to this Agreement.

The App is not offered to, and must not be used by, parents, guardians, students, or members of the general public. If your authorization from a School Customer ends — for example, because you leave employment, end your volunteer role, or the School Customer terminates its agreement with Carline Hound — your license under this Agreement terminates automatically.


3. License Grant

Subject to your continuous compliance with this Agreement, Carline Hound grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to:

  • download and install one copy of the App on a mobile device or computer that you own or control; and
  • use the App solely for the legitimate educational and operational purposes of the School Customer that authorized your use, in connection with managing K-12 student dismissal and car line operations.

This is a license, not a sale. All right, title, and interest in and to the App, including all intellectual property rights, remain with Carline Hound and its licensors.


4. Restrictions

You agree that you will not, and will not permit any third party to:

  • license, sell, rent, lease, assign, distribute, host, outsource, disclose, or otherwise commercially exploit the App or make the App available to any person who is not an Authorized User;
  • copy, modify, translate, adapt, or create derivative works of the App;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code, underlying ideas, algorithms, structure, or organization of the App, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
  • remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices, labels, or marks on or in the App;
  • use the App in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the App or interfere with any other party’s use of the App;
  • use any robot, spider, scraper, or other automated means to access the App, or attempt to bypass any security, authentication, or rate-limiting measures;
  • use the App to violate any applicable federal, state, local, or international law or regulation, or to infringe the rights of any third party;
  • use the App to transmit any material that is unlawful, harassing, defamatory, threatening, harmful to minors, obscene, or otherwise objectionable;
  • use the App to attempt unauthorized access to another School Customer’s data, another user’s account, or any Carline Hound system;
  • share your credentials with any other person, including other Authorized Users; or
  • use the App in a manner inconsistent with any guidance, documentation, or instructions we or your School Customer provide.

5. Accounts

To use the App you must have an account provisioned by your School Customer or registered with the School Customer’s authorization. You agree to:

  • provide accurate, current, and complete information at registration and keep it up to date;
  • maintain the security of your password and any authentication credentials;
  • promptly notify Carline Hound and your School Customer of any unauthorized use of your account;
  • be responsible for all activity that occurs under your account; and
  • not share your account with any other person.

Carline Hound is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your credentials. We may suspend or revoke access that we reasonably believe has been used in violation of this Agreement or without the continuing authorization of the relevant School Customer.


6. Content

6.1 School Data Ownership

As between you and Carline Hound, School Customers own School Data. This Agreement does not transfer ownership of School Data to Carline Hound.

6.2 License to Carline Hound

You grant Carline Hound a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, store, transmit, display, process, and use Content you upload or enter solely as necessary to (a) provide and maintain the App, (b) comply with legal obligations, and (c) enforce this Agreement. For School Data, this license is further limited by the School Customer’s agreement with Carline Hound and by our Privacy Policy.

6.3 Your Responsibilities for Content

You represent and warrant that you have all rights, consents, and authority from the School Customer to upload, enter, or transmit any Content through the App, and that your Content does not violate this Agreement or any applicable law. You are solely responsible for the accuracy, legality, and appropriateness of Content you provide.

6.4 Student Data

Collection and use of student Personal Data is governed by our Privacy Policy and, where applicable, the written agreement between Carline Hound and the School Customer. Carline Hound does not sell student data, does not use student data for targeted advertising, and supports FERPA “school official” designations as described in our Privacy Policy.


7. Payments, Subscriptions, and Refunds

7.1 Payment Channels

The App may be offered on a free, paid, or subscription basis. Payments may be processed through:

  • the Apple App Store for in-app purchases and subscriptions on iOS;
  • the Google Play Store for in-app purchases and subscriptions on Android; and
  • Intuit Inc. for School Customers billed directly by Carline Hound.

7.2 App Store Purchases

Purchases and subscriptions made through an App Store are subject to that App Store’s terms and are processed by the App Store operator as the merchant of record. Refunds, billing disputes, subscription cancellations, and auto-renewal of App Store purchases are controlled by the App Store and its policies. Requests for refunds on App Store purchases must be made directly to the applicable App Store. We do not have the ability to issue refunds for App Store purchases.

7.3 Direct Billing

For School Customers invoiced directly by Carline Hound, payment terms are governed by the School Customer’s written agreement with us. In the absence of a separate agreement, fees are non-refundable except as required by law.

7.4 Subscription Auto-Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each subscription term at the then-current price unless canceled before the renewal date. Subscriptions can be managed or canceled in the App Store account settings (for App Store purchases) or by contacting support@carlinehound.com (for direct-billed subscriptions).

7.5 Taxes

Fees are exclusive of applicable taxes. The School Customer is responsible for any sales, use, value-added, or similar taxes imposed on the purchase, other than taxes on our net income.


8. Updates, Modifications, and Service Availability

We may, at any time and without notice, update, modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the App, including features, functionality, and availability. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of material changes that would significantly reduce functionality relied on by School Customers.

Updates may be required to continue using the App. You consent to the automatic download and installation of updates where your device permits.

If we permanently discontinue the App, any School Customer subscription prepaid for a period extending more than thirty (30) days beyond the discontinuation date will be refunded on a pro-rata basis. App Store purchases are subject to the refund policies of the applicable App Store.


9. Term and Termination

This Agreement takes effect when you first download, install, access, or use the App and continues until terminated.

Termination by you. You may terminate this Agreement at any time by uninstalling the App and ceasing all use.

Termination by Carline Hound. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated this Agreement, if your School Customer’s authorization of your use ends, if a School Customer’s agreement with us ends, if required by law, or for any other reason in our reasonable discretion. Where feasible, we will give notice to the affected School Customer.

Automatic termination. This Agreement terminates automatically if you fail to comply with any of its provisions or if your authorization from a School Customer ends.

Effect of termination. On termination, your license ends, and you must uninstall the App and cease all use. Sections that by their nature should survive (including Sections 4 (Restrictions), 6.2 (License to Carline Hound), 10 (Intellectual Property), 11 (Third-Party Services), 12 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 13 (Limitation of Liability), 14 (Indemnification), 16 (Dispute Resolution), 17 (Governing Law and Venue), and 20 (General)) survive termination.


10. Intellectual Property

The App, including all software, graphics, text, logos, trademarks, and trade dress, is owned by Carline Hound or its licensors and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. “Carline Hound” and related marks are trademarks of Carline Hound, LLC. No rights are granted to you other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

10.1 Feedback

If you submit comments, suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the App (“Feedback”), you grant Carline Hound a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use, modify, and incorporate Feedback into the App and related products without obligation or compensation to you.

10.2 DMCA and Copyright Complaints

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe that Content available through the App infringes your copyright, send a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) to our designated agent:

DMCA Agent, Carline Hound, LLC 2600 South Shore Harbor Dr, Ste 300 League City, TX 77573 Email: support@carlinehound.com

Your notice must include the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3). We may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing Content, and we may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.


11. Third-Party Services and Platforms

11.1 Third-Party Services Generally

The App may integrate with or link to services operated by third parties (for example, Google Cloud / Firebase, Apple and Google push notification services, Intuit, and Sentry). Your use of those services is subject to the third party’s own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services.

11.2 Apple App Store — Additional Terms

The following additional terms apply if you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store. These terms are required by Apple and apply in addition to the rest of this Agreement.

  • Relationship with Apple. This Agreement is between you and Carline Hound only, not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). Carline Hound, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content.
  • Scope of license. The license granted to you under this Agreement is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded product that you own or control and as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
  • Maintenance and support. Carline Hound is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the App. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services.
  • Warranty. Carline Hound is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App.
  • Product claims. Carline Hound, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession or use of it, including: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
  • Intellectual property. In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, Carline Hound, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
  • Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that: (i) you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • Third-party beneficiary. You and Carline Hound acknowledge that Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and that upon your acceptance of this Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary.
  • Developer contact. Questions, complaints, or claims regarding the App should be directed to: support@carlinehound.com.

11.3 Google Play Store — Additional Terms

If you downloaded the App from the Google Play Store, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. You acknowledge that Google LLC is not a party to this Agreement and is not responsible for the App. Carline Hound, not Google, is responsible for the App and any claims relating to it.


12. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CARLINE HOUND AND ITS LICENSORS, SUPPLIERS, AND AFFILIATES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ALL WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, CARLINE HOUND DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE; THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; OR THAT THE APP OR THE SERVERS THAT MAKE IT AVAILABLE ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

THE APP IS A TOOL TO ASSIST SCHOOL STAFF WITH DISMISSAL AND CAR LINE MANAGEMENT. IT IS NOT A SAFETY SYSTEM AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT, SUPERVISION, IDENTITY VERIFICATION, OR SCHOOL SAFETY PROTOCOLS. SCHOOLS AND THEIR AUTHORIZED USERS REMAIN SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR STUDENT SAFETY AND FOR VERIFYING THE IDENTITY AND AUTHORIZATION OF INDIVIDUALS PICKING UP STUDENTS.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In that case, any implied warranties are limited to the shortest period permitted by applicable law.


13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL CARLINE HOUND OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE APP, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT CARLINE HOUND HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT WILL CARLINE HOUND’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE APP EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID TO CARLINE HOUND BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE RELEVANT SCHOOL CUSTOMER FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, AND (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

The limitations in this Section 13 apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above exclusions or limitations may not fully apply to you.


14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Carline Hound, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers from and against all claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to:

  • your use or misuse of the App;
  • your Content;
  • your violation of this Agreement or any applicable law;
  • your violation of any right of a third party; or
  • your use of the App outside the scope of your School Customer’s authorization.

Carline Hound reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you will cooperate with Carline Hound in asserting any available defenses.

This Section 14 does not apply to a School Customer acting within the scope of its written agreement with Carline Hound, to the extent the School Customer agreement addresses indemnification. Nothing in this Section 14 requires a public school, school district, or other governmental entity to indemnify Carline Hound in a manner prohibited by applicable law.


15. Consumer Protection Notice (California Residents)

Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California users of the App are entitled to the following consumer rights notice: If you have a question or complaint regarding the App, please contact us at support@carlinehound.com. California residents may also reach the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.


16. Dispute Resolution

Informal resolution first. Before filing a lawsuit, you and Carline Hound agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally. You must send written notice of the dispute to support@carlinehound.com, describing the nature and basis of the claim and the relief sought. Carline Hound will send any such notice to you by email to the address associated with your account. If the dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after notice is received, either party may proceed to file a lawsuit in accordance with Section 17.

No class actions. Except where prohibited by applicable law, each party may bring claims against the other only in its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.

No arbitration. Disputes will not be resolved by mandatory binding arbitration. Either party may pursue claims in the courts specified in Section 17.


17. Governing Law and Venue

This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

The parties agree that the exclusive venue for any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the App lies in the state courts of Galveston County, Texas, or the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Galveston Division, and each party consents to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Nothing in this section limits the statutory rights of consumers under the laws of their state of residence.


18. Export Controls and Sanctions

The App is subject to U.S. export control laws, including the Export Administration Regulations. You represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country to which the United States has embargoed goods or services, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties (including the Specially Designated Nationals List maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control). You will not export, re-export, or transfer the App in violation of any applicable law.


19. U.S. Government End Users

The App is “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation” as those terms are used in 48 C.F.R. § 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. § 227.7202. Any use, duplication, or disclosure of the App by or on behalf of the U.S. Government is subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement.


20. General

Entire agreement. This Agreement, together with our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, and any written agreement between Carline Hound and a School Customer, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Carline Hound regarding the App and supersedes any prior agreements.

Amendments. We may modify this Agreement at any time. If a change is material, we will provide at least thirty (30) days’ notice by posting the updated Agreement and updating the “Effective Date” above, or by other reasonable means. Continued use of the App after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance.

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remainder will remain in full force and effect.

No waiver. A failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement without our prior written consent. We may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without restriction. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section is void.

Force majeure. Neither party is liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, acts of civil or military authorities, war, terrorism, or epidemics.

Independent contractors. The parties are independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship.

Notices. Notices to Carline Hound must be sent to support@carlinehound.com or by mail to the address at the top of this Agreement. Notices to you may be sent to the email address associated with your account or delivered within the App.
