We added a requirement in Section 9 that Evernote Business users are responsible for obtaining any required permissions from parents or guardians of minors before they allow the minors to use their Evernote Business Account, and includes a special requirement for schools in the United States if they intend to enable children under age 13 to use the Evernote Business service.
