P3 Enterprise Subscription Terms
Version 2026.2, in force from September 17, 2026. This version is never edited. Any change is a new version at a new address, and this one stays here.
These Enterprise Subscription Terms ("Terms") are a contract between The Pulse of Perseverance Project, Inc. (i.e., nonprofit entity: Pulse of Perseverance), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation incorporated in Illinois, EIN 82-3649154, with its principal place of business at 4522 S Prairie Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60653 ("P3", "we", "us"), and the institution identified at checkout ("you", "your institution").
You accept these Terms by ticking the acceptance box at checkout. The person ticking it confirms that they are authorized to enter into this agreement for your institution. If you do not accept these Terms, do not register.
These Terms incorporate the P3 Data Sharing Addendum 2026.2 at /legal/data-sharing-addendum/2026-2 (the "Addendum"), which you accept at the same time and which governs privacy, security and data governance. If these Terms and the Addendum conflict, the Addendum controls on privacy, security and data governance, and these Terms control on everything else.
1.What you are buying
1.1Your subscription gives your institution access to the P3 institutional dashboard (the "Dashboard"), which reports on the students who have claimed your institution on the P3 platform, together with the Administrator accounts needed to use it, a join kit (a link, a six character code and a QR code) that students use to claim your institution, CSV and printable exports, and email support.
1.2The Dashboard reports aggregated information about student participation and, for an institution registered from September 17, 2026, a roster of who has joined: each student by first name and last initial, when they joined, and whether they have a mentor, together with the mentors who name your institution. It does not provide any other identifiable student level record, and Section 11 and the Addendum explain why.
1.3What the Dashboard does not do. So there is no misunderstanding at purchase:
- P3 holds no registrar or employer record. Graduation, major, first role and employer reach P3 only when a student volunteers them, in a milestone or their own career timeline, and P3 does not verify any of it against your systems or anyone else's. There is no GPA, no credit hours, no salary, no credential award from an awarding body, and no enrollment verification.
- P3 holds no cost data about your institution, and no dollar figure of any kind appears in the Dashboard.
- P3 compares your students against all P3 students in aggregate. That is a comparison between groups, never a controlled experiment, and the Dashboard does not establish that P3 caused any outcome.
- The Dashboard is not real time. Its figures are recomputed on a schedule, and it shows the time they were computed.
- P3 offers no public API, no single sign-on, and no connection to a student information system or learning management system.
- P3 does not verify that a student who claims your institution attends it. Affiliation is asserted by the student.
1.4We may improve, revise, replace or retire particular Dashboard features during your Subscription Period, provided the subscription as a whole keeps substantially equivalent functionality and value. Section 18 governs changes to these Terms.
1.5Work beyond the subscription. Custom analysis, implementation work, additional support and other services beyond the subscription are not included in it. Where P3 agrees to provide any of them, it does so only under a separate statement of work signed by both of us, which states its own scope and fees.
2.Some definitions
Claimed Student. A student account on the P3 platform whose holder has claimed your institution, from your join link, your six character code or your printed poster, and has not removed that claim.
Administrator. A person you authorize to sign in to the Dashboard. Administrator accounts are free and there is no fixed limit on how many you create. There are three roles: owner, admin and viewer.
Capacity band. The size of program you chose at checkout, stated as a number of students. It sets your price. It is not a meter and it is not a limit on how many students may claim you. Section 6 explains it.
Order Summary. The screen shown to you at checkout and repeated in your receipt, stating your institution's legal name, your capacity band, your price, your billing frequency, and the start, end and renewal dates of your Subscription Period. The Order Summary is part of these Terms.
Subscription Period. For an annual subscription, the 12 month period stated in your Order Summary, and each renewal period after it. For a monthly subscription, each month of service, counted from the start date stated in your Order Summary.
Addendum. The P3 Data Sharing Addendum 2026.2, at /legal/data-sharing-addendum/2026-2.
3.How a student claims your institution
3.1A student claims your institution inside the free P3 app, by opening your join link, typing your six character code, or scanning your printed poster. A student can remove the claim at any time.
3.2P3 does not accept a list of your students under these Terms. If your institution needs to supply a roster, do not register online. Write to team@pulseofp3.org and we will route you to a signed agreement that covers the data on it.
3.3What we do not promise. Claiming depends on a student's own action. We do not promise that every student affiliated with your institution will claim it, we do not promise that your Claimed Student count will match your enrollment, and we do not verify that a student who claims your institution attends it.
3.4Nothing about your subscription changes what a student can do in the P3 app. Every student feature is free, open to students whether or not their institution subscribes, and unaffected by your payment status.
4.Fees, billing and taxes
4.1You pay the fees stated in your Order Summary. Fees are set by your capacity band, not by how many students claim you and not by how much they use the app.
4.2Billing. Annual subscriptions are invoiced or charged in advance for the full Subscription Period. Monthly subscriptions are charged in advance each month. An annual subscription is billed at 10 months of the monthly price for the same band.
4.3Changing your band. You may move to a larger band at any time by writing to us. We show you the exact prorated amount before anything is charged, and we charge only that amount. A move to a smaller band takes effect at your next renewal.
4.4Taxes. Fees do not include sales, use or similar taxes. You are responsible for them, except for taxes on P3's income. If you are exempt, send us a valid exemption certificate and we will apply it from the date we receive it.
4.5No refunds. Fees are non-refundable except where Section 16 says otherwise.
5.Paying by invoice or purchase order
5.1If your Order Summary says your subscription is invoiced, the following applies:
- Invoices are due 30 days from the invoice date unless the Order Summary says otherwise.
- Your subscription starts when we send the invoice. You do not have to wait for the payment to clear.
- If you need a purchase order number on the invoice, give it to us before we issue the invoice. We cannot add one afterwards without voiding and reissuing.
- We accept ACH, wire and check. Our W-9 is available on request from team@pulseofp3.org and from the procurement pack on our Security page at /security.
- Undisputed amounts more than 30 days past due may accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5 percent per month or the maximum rate the law allows. We do not charge interest on an amount you have disputed in good faith and in writing.
- Late payment does not affect students. If an invoice is overdue we contact your billing contact and your Administrators, and we may eventually restrict Dashboard access. We never restrict a student's access to the P3 app.
5.2A written quote is valid for 30 days, and longer if you ask.
6.Your capacity band
6.1A capacity commitment is the size of program you are buying reporting for. You choose the band that fits your program, and that band is the whole price. There is no per student meter, no seat counter running against you, and no invoice that changes because your students used the app more than you expected.
6.2P3 does not meter claims for billing. Students claim your institution themselves, inside a free app, and that number moves for reasons neither of us controls. Billing on it would hand you a bill written by student behavior, which is not a number a purchasing office can approve in advance.
6.3If more students claim you than your band covers, nothing stops and no student is blocked. P3 does not send you an unexpected invoice and does not raise your price mid-term. We look at it with you at renewal, and if the number is genuinely larger we will say so.
7.Term, renewal, and how to stop it
7.1Term and renewal. An annual subscription runs for 12 months and renews for a further 12 months at the same band price unless you tell us at least 30 days before the renewal date. We email your administrators 90 days and 45 days before that date, and the second email names the deadline as a date. A monthly subscription renews each month at the same band price until you turn renewal off, and then ends at the end of the next full month. There is no automatic price increase.
7.2How to stop it. To stop the renewal, turn renewal off in your Dashboard under Billing, or email team@pulseofp3.org from an Administrator address saying you do not want to renew. For an annual subscription, do it at least 30 days before the renewal date. For a monthly subscription, the subscription then ends at the end of the next full month. That is all it takes. We will not ask you to call anyone.
7.3Confirmation. When you stop renewal we email your Administrators to confirm within one business day. If you do not get that email, assume it did not take effect and contact us.
7.4Stopping renewal does not shorten your Subscription Period. Your Dashboard stays live until the end of the last period you pay for, and Section 16 describes what happens after that.
8.Your license, and what you may not do
8.1License. For your Subscription Period, we grant your institution a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right for your Administrators to access and use the Dashboard for your institution's internal purposes, including your own reporting to your board, your accreditors and your funders.
8.2You may not. Do any of the following:
- resell, sublicense or provide Dashboard access to a third party, other than your own advisors under confidentiality;
- attempt to re-identify any individual from aggregated or de-identified output, or combine it with other data to do so;
- reverse engineer or attempt to derive the source code or the underlying analytics methods of the platform;
- circumvent or test our security controls without our written permission;
- share Administrator credentials, including with other people at your institution (create them another Administrator instead; they are free);
- use the Dashboard to build a competing product; or
- use the Dashboard for any unlawful purpose or in a way that harms a student.
8.3Your Administrators. You are responsible for what your Administrators do, and for removing them promptly when they leave your institution or change roles.
9.What you agree to do
9.1You agree to name at least one Administrator, to give us accurate information and keep your contact and billing details current, to tell us promptly when an Administrator should be removed, to keep your Administrators' sign-in secure, and to tell us promptly at team@pulseofp3.org if you believe an Administrator account has been used by someone who should not have it. You acknowledge that what the Dashboard shows depends on your students choosing to claim your institution and to use the P3 app, which neither of us controls.
10.What we commit to, and what we do not
10.1No service level agreement. P3 does not offer a service level agreement. We do not commit to an uptime percentage and we do not offer service credits. We work to keep the dashboard available and we will tell your administrators in advance about planned maintenance where we reasonably can, and we are not going to promise a number we cannot presently measure and stand behind.
10.2Support. We provide email support at team@pulseofp3.org on business days, United States Central Time. We aim to respond within 2 business days. That is a target, not a guarantee, and it is not a commitment to resolve anything within any period.
10.3What we do not offer today. P3 does not offer round the clock support, a dedicated named support contact, a public status page, an API, single sign-on, or a connection to a student information system or learning management system. If any of these is required for your purchase, say so before you register, because it changes what we can sell you.
11.Data, privacy and security
11.1The Addendum governs. All privacy, security, confidentiality of student information and data governance obligations are governed by the Addendum, which you accepted with these Terms and which is part of this agreement.
11.2The short version. Students register with P3 directly and consent to P3 directly, and the join screen tells them what your institution sees. P3 is the controller of that data. You receive aggregated reporting and the roster described in clause 1.2: a first name and last initial, a join date and whether a student has a mentor, and nothing else about a student as one person. P3 is not a school official under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and does not hold education records on your behalf.
11.3Small numbers are suppressed. P3 suppresses or rolls up any figure in the dashboard, in an export or in a report that would represent fewer than 10 individuals. We apply it before the number reaches your browser, not after. If your claimed cohort is small, or a breakdown within it is small, many figures will show as suppressed rather than as a number. That is the design working correctly. It is not a defect and it is not a reason for a refund.
11.4What your browser receives. No endpoint that returns your analytics accepts an organization identifier from the caller. Your institution is read from your Administrator's server side session. The roster is the only student level list your browser receives; it is shown to Owner and Admin accounts only, and it carries no email address, phone number, message or free text.
12.Intellectual property
12.1The platform, the Dashboard, our software, our analytics methods, our milestone framework, our branding and everything we create remain ours. Your name, your marks and any information you give us remain yours. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of anything to anyone.
12.2If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without owing you anything and without restriction.
13.Confidentiality
13.1Each of us will protect the other's non-public information that is marked confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential, will use it only for this agreement, and will protect it with at least the care we use for our own confidential information. This does not cover information that is public, that the receiving party already had, that it develops independently, or that it lawfully receives from someone else. Either of us may disclose the other's confidential information if legally required, after giving the other reasonable advance notice where we lawfully can. These obligations survive for three years after this agreement ends, and for as long as the law requires in the case of student information.
14.Warranties and disclaimers
14.1What we warrant. We warrant that we will provide the subscription in a professional and workmanlike manner, and that we have the right to grant the license in Section 8.
14.2What we do not warrant. EXCEPT AS STATED IN CLAUSE 14.1, THE SUBSCRIPTION IS PROVIDED "AS IS". WE DISCLAIM ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION.
14.3No outcome is guaranteed. We do not guarantee any enrollment, retention, graduation, persistence, scholarship, credential, employment or placement outcome, any level of student participation, or any improvement in any institutional metric. Dashboard figures describe what students did on the P3 platform. They do not establish that P3 caused any outcome.
15.Limitation of liability
15.1Liability is capped, including privacy liability. Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages. Each party's total liability is capped at the greater of the fees paid in the twelve months before the claim or the floor stated in clause 15.2. Liability connected with privacy, confidentiality, security or data protection, including under the Data Sharing Addendum, sits inside that cap and is not uncapped.
15.2The cap. Each party's total liability arising out of or relating to this agreement, whatever the theory, will not exceed the greater of the fees you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or $50,000.
15.3Exceptions. Clause 15.2 does not limit your obligation to pay fees you owe, or either party's liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or anything that cannot be limited by law.
15.4Insurance. P3 maintains commercial general liability and cyber liability insurance, and provides a certificate of insurance on reasonable request. The coverage types and limits are the ones stated on that certificate.
16.Ending the agreement
16.1Non-renewal. Either of us can stop the subscription renewing under clause 7.2.
16.2For cause. Either of us may terminate immediately on written notice if the other materially breaches this agreement and does not cure it within 30 days of written notice; acts unlawfully in connection with this agreement, which no cure period can put right; or becomes insolvent, files for bankruptcy, or has a receiver appointed.
16.3For convenience. Either party may terminate this agreement for any reason on 60 days written notice. If you terminate for convenience, fees already paid are not refunded. If P3 terminates for convenience, P3 refunds the unused portion of prepaid fees, prorated to the termination date.
16.4Refunds on termination. If you terminate for our uncured material breach under clause 16.2, we refund the unused portion of prepaid fees, prorated to the termination date. If you terminate for convenience under clause 16.3, any unpaid fees for the current Subscription Period remain due.
16.5What happens to your data if it ends. Administrator access to live reporting ends, and your dashboard stays available in read-only export mode for 12 months so you can retrieve what you need. Your students' access to the P3 app is not affected by the end of this agreement, ever. Students hold their own relationship with P3.
16.6What happens to institutional records. The Addendum governs what happens to data. Because P3 accepts no roster under these Terms, there is no institutional record to return or delete.
16.7Suspension. We may suspend Dashboard access, on notice, if your use threatens the security or integrity of the platform or is unlawful, and we restore it as soon as the cause is resolved. We never suspend a student's access to the P3 app because of anything in this agreement.
17.Using each other's names
17.1What we may do, and what needs your approval. You allow P3 to identify you by name and logo as a partner on our website, in a customer list, and in board, funder, grant and investor materials, following your published brand guidelines, and we stop within thirty days of your written request. Materials already distributed before your request do not have to be recalled. Anything beyond a name and a logo, including a quote, a case study or a press release, needs your prior written approval.
17.2What you may do. You may identify P3 as your partner and use our name and logo to describe the relationship, following our brand guidelines.
17.3Nothing identifiable. Neither of us will publish anything that identifies an individual student without that student's own consent.
18.Changes to these Terms
18.1Material changes. If we change these Terms or the Addendum in a way that materially reduces your rights or materially increases your obligations, the change does not apply to your current Subscription Period. We email your Administrators at least 45 days before your renewal date with the new version and a plain summary of what changed. The new version applies from the start of your next Subscription Period, and you accept it by re-accepting it. If you do not want the new version, do not renew.
18.2Other changes. We may make non-material changes, such as corrections, clarifications, formatting and contact details, by publishing a new version with a new version number and effective date, and we note the change in the version history.
18.3Version history. Every published version of these Terms and of the Addendum stays at its own permanent address and is never edited after publication. We keep a record of which version you accepted and when, and your receipt links to it.
19.Governing law, and public institutions
19.1Louisiana law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana, with venue in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana. If you are a public institution and your state's law prohibits you from agreeing to that, or to the limitation of liability or the warranty disclaimers, do not accept online. Write to team@pulseofp3.org and we will route you to a signed agreement.
19.2Venue and conflicts. The state and federal courts located in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of this agreement, and each of us consents to that jurisdiction. These Terms are governed by Louisiana law without regard to its conflict of law rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
19.3Public institutions. If you are a public institution, an agency or an instrumentality of a state, and the law of your state prohibits you from agreeing to clause 19.1 or 19.2, those clauses do not apply to you. In that case this agreement is governed by the law of the state that created you, without regard to its conflict of law rules, and venue lies where that state's law requires.
19.4No jury, no class. Each of us waives trial by jury. Each of us brings claims only in its own capacity and not as a class representative.
20.General
20.1Notices. Notices to P3 go to team@pulseofp3.org and to The Pulse of Perseverance Project, Inc., 4522 S Prairie Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60653. Notices to you go to the Administrator and billing email addresses in your account. Email notice is effective when sent, unless it bounces.
20.2Assignment. Neither of us may assign this agreement without the other's written consent, except that either may assign it in full to a successor in a merger, reorganization or sale of substantially all assets, on notice.
20.3Force majeure. Neither of us is liable for a delay or failure caused by something outside our reasonable control, including natural disaster, cyberattack, government action, labor disruption, utility or internet failure, or a public health emergency. This does not excuse payment.
20.4Independent parties. We are independent contractors. This agreement creates no partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship.
20.5No third party beneficiaries. Nobody other than your institution and P3 has rights under this agreement.
20.6Severability. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in force and the unenforceable provision is modified to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable.
20.7No waiver. Not enforcing a right once does not waive it.
20.8Entire agreement. These Terms, your Order Summary, the Addendum and any statement of work we have both signed are the entire agreement between us about the subscription and replace anything said or written before. Any purchase order, vendor portal terms, click-through supplier terms, or other document you issue is for your internal administration only, and any additional or conflicting terms in it have no effect, unless P3 signs a document that expressly amends this agreement.
20.9Survival. Section 4 (as to amounts owed), clause 8.2, and Sections 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 19 and 20 survive termination, as do clauses 16.3 to 16.6.
20.10Order of precedence. If these documents conflict, the order is: a signed amendment; the Addendum, on privacy, security and data governance; these Terms; a signed statement of work, as to the services it describes; the Order Summary.
End of the Enterprise Subscription Terms.
