Literacy Leap Terms of Service
Last updated: September 21, 2026
Introduction
Welcome! These Terms of Service ("Terms") are provided by Chronicle LLC, dba Decodable Reads ("we," "us," or "our"). They govern your use of Literacy Leap, available on the web at decodablereads.com/literacy-leap and as the Literacy Leap iOS app (the "Application"). By accessing or using Literacy Leap, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms. Please review them carefully.
Use of Services
Literacy Leap helps adults provide personalized, one-on-one reading instruction to children. You can access Literacy Leap through a participating library, your own subscription, or through an account purchased by your organization.
Content generated by Literacy Leap is intended for use with the students you support, and may not be resold.
Accounts
Literacy Leap accounts are intended for adults. The adult who signs up is the account holder and is responsible for the account.
Account holders create student profiles and use Literacy Leap together with their students. Students do not use Literacy Leap on their own. Before creating a student profile, you must have the authorization required to enroll the student, as described in our Privacy Policy.
Each Literacy Leap account provides access for one adult user. Accounts may not be shared. If other adults would benefit from Literacy Leap, each of them must use their own account.
You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account.
If your access is provided by a library or organization that has its own agreement with us, that agreement controls where it conflicts with these Terms.
Data Collection
We collect and use information as described in the Literacy Leap Privacy Policy at decodablereads.com/literacy-leap/privacy-policy.
We may use and share aggregated or de-identified progress, engagement, and usage data to evaluate Literacy Leap and communicate its effectiveness in marketing, sales, grant, research, or public-facing materials. We do not use this permission to identify individual users, students, families, library patrons, libraries, or institutions without appropriate permission.

Subscriptions renew automatically each month until you cancel. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method for each renewal.
You can cancel at any time in the app or by emailing support@decodablereads.com. When you cancel, you keep access until the end of your current billing period, and your subscription will not renew.

Termination
We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to all or part of the Application, without notice, for any conduct that we, in our sole discretion, believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users of the Application, to us, or to third parties.
Disclaimer of Warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Application and all Generated Content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Generated Content is created using artificial intelligence and may contain errors. We do not warrant that the Application will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that Generated Content will be accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular student.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Chronicle LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or revenue, arising out of or relating to your use of the Application.
