1. About these terms

These terms are an agreement between you (the parent or legal guardian, 18 or older) and [TODO: legal name of operator] ("HoppingTree", "we"). By creating an account or using HoppingTree, you agree to them on behalf of yourself and your child.

2. What HoppingTree is, and is not

• HoppingTree is short daily practice in Math, Reading and Language Usage for students, built around skills commonly measured by the MAP Growth assessment.
• HoppingTree is an independent practice product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by NWEA or HMH. MAP and MAP Growth are trademarks of their respective owners. Our questions are original and are not actual test items.
• Level estimates in HoppingTree are informal estimates based on our own questions. They are not official MAP RIT scores, and we make no promise about any test result, placement or admission.
• HoppingTree does not offer full mock exams or essay grading.

3. Accounts

Only a parent or legal guardian may create an account and add children. Keep your sign-in email and parent PIN secure. You are responsible for activity under your account.
