USER COMMENTS, FEEDBACK AND OTHER SUBMISSIONS

If, at our request, a system user sends certain specific submissions (for example contest entries) or without a request from us they send creative ideas, suggestions, proposals, plans, or other materials, whether online, by email, by postal mail, or otherwise (collectively, 'comments'), system users agree that we may, at any time, without restriction, edit, copy, publish, distribute, translate and otherwise use in any medium any comments that they forward to us. We are and shall be under no obligation (1) to maintain any comments in confidence; (2) to pay compensation for any comments; or (3) to respond to any comments.

We may, but have no obligation to, monitor, edit or remove content that we determine in our sole discretion are unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, pornographic, obscene or otherwise objectionable, or that violates any party’s intellectual property or these Terms of Service.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

Schools and districts act as the data controllers for information entered into or managed within their organization. The Michigan Model for Health™ (MMH) Program acts as a service provider and processes limited user information solely for the purpose of delivering and supporting the platform.

The submission of personal information through the website is governed by the MMH Privacy Policy. MMH follows State of Michigan policies as a guiding framework for security, privacy, and accessibility practices.

MMH collects limited personal information necessary to operate the system and provide access to authorized users. This may include name, email address, organization or district affiliation, and license-related information. This information is used for account access, communication, and program administration.

Student Data

The Michigan Model for Health™ (MMH) system is designed for educator use and does not provide student user accounts. MMH does not directly collect or maintain student personal information through its platform. Any student data generated through the use of MMH materials (such as worksheets, forms, assessments, or documents) is created, managed, and stored by the school or educator. Schools and districts are responsible for handling, storing, and deleting student data in accordance with their local policies and applicable laws, including FERPA.

SECURITY

The State of Michigan, as developer and manager of the Michigan Model for Health™ (MMH) website, has implemented measures intended to help protect the integrity of its systems and reduce the risk of unauthorized access to information maintained in agency computer systems. The Michigan Model for Health™ (MMH) Program follows State of Michigan policies as a guiding framework for security, privacy, and accessibility practices. Reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards are in place; however, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. In the event of a security incident involving unauthorized access to personal information, MMH will take reasonable steps to investigate and respond in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Account Security

Authorized users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of account credentials, including usernames and passwords. Account sharing is not permitted. Each user must access the system using their assigned credentials only. License Managers are responsible for managing authorized access within their organization and ensuring accounts are assigned appropriately.

DATA RETENTION

Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

SEVERABILITY

In the event that any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms of Service, such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

TERMINATION

The obligations and liabilities of the parties incurred prior to the termination date shall survive the termination of this agreement for all purposes. These Terms of Service are effective unless and until terminated by either the system users or us. System users may terminate these Terms of Service at any time by notifying us that the system user no longer wish to use our Services, or when the system users cease using our site.

If in our sole judgment the system user fails, or we suspect that the system user has failed, to comply with any term or provision of these Terms of Service, we also may terminate this agreement at any time without notice and the system user will remain liable for all amounts due up to and including the date of termination; and/or accordingly may deny the system user's access to our Services (or any part thereof).
