PowerMyLearning agrees to provide services and materials on this Site pursuant to the Terms of Service set forth below. Any person who uses or relies on the services and materials on this Site agrees to do so according to these Terms. PowerMyLearning may amend or modify these Terms by posting an update to this Site, and you agree to accept the new Terms by using or relying on our services and materials after such notice. You should take the time to read through these Terms, and if you have any questions, please contact us at the address listed at the end.


    → Privacy

    PowerMyLearning has established a comprehensive Privacy Policy, which is considered part of our Terms of Service. Please read the Privacy Policy to understand PowerMyLearning’s commitment to the privacy of our users.


    → Intellectual Property

    The Site contains material that is protected by national and international trademark, service mark, copyright, patent, and other intellectual property laws. To the full extent provided under the United States Copyright Act and all national and international copyright laws, PowerMyLearning, its licensors and suppliers, and other entities whose content is displayed on this site own all copyright rights in the text, images, graphics, user interface, and other content provided on this site, other than content used pursuant to the doctrine of fair use, and the selection, coordination, and arrangement of such content. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing stated or implied on this site confers on you any license or right under any copyright of PowerMyLearning or any third party, and except as expressly provided herein you may not modify, copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, or distribute any material from this site including code and software. However, you may print pages from this site solely for individual, noncommercial use, provided that all users of these pages keep intact all copyright and other proprietary notices and provided that all use of such pages for any purpose terminates after your contract termination or expiration.

    The trademarks, logos, and service marks displayed on the Site (collectively the “Trademarks”) are the registered and unregistered trademarks of PowerMyLearning, PowerMyLearning’s licensors and suppliers, and others. PowerMyLearning, Family Playlists, and EduStar are registered trademarks of PowerMyLearning, and PowerMyLearning Connect is a trademark of PowerMyLearning. The Trademarks owned by PowerMyLearning, whether registered or unregistered, may not be used in connection with any product or service that is not PowerMyLearning’s, in any manner that is likely to cause confusion with customers, or in any manner that disparages PowerMyLearning. Nothing contained on the Site should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any license or right to use any Trademark without the express written permission of PowerMyLearning, PowerMyLearning’s licensors or suppliers, or the third party owner of any such Trademark. Misuse of any Trademarks is prohibited, and PowerMyLearning will aggressively enforce its intellectual property rights in its Trademarks, including via civil and criminal proceedings.

    PowerMyLearning owns the U.S. Design Patents D883995 and D883996 relating to the Site’s display of assignments to students and families.

    The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by PowerMyLearning infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow PowerMyLearning to locate the material on the Site; (d) the name, address, telephone number and email address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send PowerMyLearning a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site should be sent to the address set forth below. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA. Please note that PowerMyLearning may terminate any user who it reasonably believes to be a repeat copyright infringer.

    If you're familiar with HubSpot development, you may follow the instructions from HubSpot itself. It's recommended to host font files in the files tool, then reference them in the stylesheet through CSS.

    To use a font in content, upload the font's files to the files tool. HubSpot recommends uploading a minimum of the .woff, .ttf, & .eot versions of the font to ensure your font loads on all browsers. You can use the Expert mode on Font Squirrel's converter tool to generate additional file formats.

    1. In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Files and Templates > Files.
    2. Click Upload files.
    3. On your computer's hard drive, select the font files, then click Open.
    4. Click the name of an uploaded font file.
    5. In the right panel, click Copy URL to copy the URL where the file is hosted. You will need the URL for the font in each file format.

    Once you've added a custom font to the files tool, you can reference it in a stylesheet. Each font style (italics, bold, etc.) will require a separate @font-face rule.

    1. In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Files and Templates > Design Tools.
    2. In the finder, open the stylesheet used for your content.
    3. For each font style, at the top of the stylesheet, paste the following code: @font-face { font-family: 'Your Font Name'; src: url('your_font_file.eot?') format('eot'), url('your_font_file.woff') format('woff'), url('your_font_file.ttf') format('truetype');}
      Replace Your Font Name with the name of the font.
      Replace your_font_file.xxx? with the URL from the files tool. Repeat for each file format.
    4. Create CSS rules with the font-family property to apply the custom font.
    5. In the top right, click Update or Publish to take your changes live.
