Terms of use
The terms that apply when you use ClassSplit, the limits of what a class balancing aid can be relied on for, and what stays free for every teacher.
Last updated 28 September 2026
What this is
ClassSplit is a planning aid that turns the students, classes and rules you type into proposed class lists, and prints documents from them. It balances what you enter; it does not know the children, so it does not decide where any child goes and gives no advice about any student. A request it reports as not met is not met only under the rules you gave it. Placement decisions stay with you and your school. Check the lists and every printout before they are shared with staff or families.
Names and student information
Type whatever you need to tell students apart and no more. Nothing you enter leaves your browser. You remain responsible for following your school's rules about student information on the device you use. ClassSplit makes no fairness, legal or compliance claim about the lists it proposes.
Names used
Software and organisations are named in the guides only to describe them, with the date their public pages were read. ClassSplit is not affiliated with any school, school district, education department, student information system or class placement software company.
What is free
Balanced class lists for a grade of up to 60 students in up to 3 classes are free to use with no account and stay that way, as does placing students by hand in the review grid at any size, friend requests, keep-apart pairs and sibling rules, class lists, placement cards, the requests not met sheet, and JSON backup and restore. When billing is enabled, a paid tier adds larger grades, saved drafts and comparison, CSV, the principal summary and teacher request rules on top of that. Nothing free is moved behind a gate to make room for it.
Your data
Anything the site remembers is stored by your own browser on your own device. You can clear it at any time, we cannot recover it, and it does not follow you to another device. Save a backup file regularly while you work on next year's lists.
Refunds
Not happy with a purchase? Email [email protected] within 14 days of a first purchase, or within 7 days of a renewal, and we will refund it. Send the message from the email address you used at checkout, and include:
- the email address used at checkout (if you are writing from a different address)
- your access code, shown on the Premium page while you have Premium on the browser you purchased from
- roughly when you purchased, and which plan (weekly, yearly or lifetime)
- the last 4 digits of the card, if you have the receipt handy
That is everything needed to find the purchase and process the refund. This policy does not limit any statutory rights you may have.
Acceptable use
Use the site to build class lists. Do not scrape it at a rate that degrades it for other people, and do not enter more about a student than you need to balance the classes.
Warranty and liability
The site is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind. To the extent the law allows, ClassSplit is not liable for any loss arising from its use or from reliance on class lists it proposes. Check every list before you share it with staff or families.
Contact
Questions, and reports of a list that breaks a hard rule it should have kept, go to [email protected]. A hard rule broken by the builder is a defect and gets fixed.
