Founding issuer terms
These are the terms a school, learning center, microschool, or independent counselor accepts when they enroll as a founding issuer and start issuing records to their learners. They are written in plain language so you can read them in five minutes. Version 2026-09-09.
1. The founding year is free
Your founding year runs through June 30, 2027. During it you pay nothing, for any number of learners. You import your roster, declare courses, ask teachers to co-sign, and every learner gets a verifiable record, at no cost to you and no cost to them.
2. After the founding year it is $49 per learner per year
From July 1, 2027, issuing costs $49 per learner per year. It is billed to you, the issuer, and never to the family. You pay no setup fee, no per transcript fee, and no per verification fee. We will send you the count and the total before that year starts, so nothing arrives as a surprise.
Families never pay for the record. Eformogi does sell optional compliance artifacts to families directly, and those are included for the learners you enroll while you are issuing, so a family on your roster is not asked to buy them.
3. Your founding price is locked for as long as you issue
Founding issuers keep that price for as long as they issue. You enrolled before June 30, 2027, so $49 per learner per year is your price, and a later list price set for a later cohort does not move you onto it. If you stop issuing and come back later, you enroll on whatever the terms are then. We are not promising that $49 is the price forever for everyone. We are promising it is your price for as long as you keep issuing.
4. You are the issuer. The learner is the holder.
You issue. The learner and their family hold. That is the whole arrangement, and it does not change if you stop issuing, if you leave Eformogi, or if Eformogi stops existing. You can declare courses, attach the work you taught, and ask the teachers who taught them to co-sign. Once a family claims the record, you cannot delete it, lock it, or take it back, because it is not yours. Before they claim, removing a learner from your roster also removes their claim link, so send the invitations early.
5. If you stop issuing, your learners keep everything
If your founding year ends and you do not continue, or you stop for any other reason, every record you already issued stays with the learner. They can still read it, export it in a format any conforming implementation can read, and hand a receiver a public verify link. What stops is the issuing of new courses under your name, and the state filings included below.
6. State filings are included while you issue
While you are an enrolled issuer, the state compliance artifacts a family on your roster needs, such as a New York IHIP or a quarterly report, are generated for them at no additional charge. That is part of what your per learner price buys, and in the founding year it is part of what free buys.
7. What we do not claim on your behalf
We do not accredit. A signed record says who taught what and who witnessed it, and it does not make your school accredited. We do not give legal advice, so whether a record satisfies a state requirement, a college policy, or a scholarship rule is a question for that receiver. We do not grade, average, or compare learners against each other. We do not promise that any particular receiver will accept a record, and we will not write that anywhere.
8. Your data and your learners' data
You give us the roster and the courses you declare. We use them to issue records, to send the emails you ask us to send, and for nothing else. We do not sell them, and we do not train models on them. Each family controls who sees their record and can revoke a share. Our full handling of data is on the privacy page, and the security posture is on the posture page.
9. Either of us can stop
You can stop issuing at any time, with no notice period and no exit fee, and clause 5 governs what happens to the records. We can end an issuer account if it is used to publish records for learning that did not happen, and if we ever do that, the learners still keep what was already issued.
10. This page is not the final agreement
Counsel will replace this page with the founding issuer agreement. When that exists we will show it to you and ask you to accept that version. Nothing in the eventual agreement will charge a founding issuer for the founding year, nothing in it will raise a founding issuer above $49 per learner per year, and nothing in it will take a learner's record away from the learner. Until then, this is the version of record, and the version string stored with your acceptance is 2026-09-09.
The record format itself is published at eformogi.com/spec, so what you issue is readable without us.
