Annexure 2rms of Serv

These terms of service are a binding legal agreement between you and SeQrd Technology Limited (“SeQrd”, “we” or “us”) that govern your right to use and access the following Schools Mobile services: (i) access to the Schools Mobile device application (the “App”); and related (ii) protection from web based cyber-attacks and the ability to block certain content, in each case on a device on which the App is correctly and appropriately installed and running (collectively with access to the App, the “Services”).

By using the Services, including by installing the App, you confirm that you accept these terms of service and that you agree to comply with them.

 

Your privacy

We only use any personal data we collect through your use of the App and the Services in the ways set out in our Schools Mobileprivacy notice. You acknowledge that you have read the Schools Mobile privacy notice and will provide a copy of the privacy notice to any child (or other person) on whose device(s) the App will be installed by you.

How you may use the app, including how many devices you may use it on

You may: (i) download or stream a copy of the App onto up to 4 devices and view, use and display the App on such devices for your personal purposes only; and (ii) receive and use any free supplementary software code or update of the App incorporating "patches" and corrections of errors as we may provide to you.

Age

You must be 18 or over to accept these terms.  

Payment and subscription terms

The Services may be paid for by you directly or you may receive access via a school or similar organisation (a “School”) that has engaged us to make the Services available to you as a parent or guardian of a child.

Access via School. If you receive access to the Services via a School your subscription terms will be governed by and subject to the Terms and Conditions for Schools entered into between us and the School. You may still elect to pay for additional access to the Services (including where you wish to use the Services in relation to a child who is not covered by the School’s subscription). In such instances the payment and subscription terms for direct access will apply to such additional access.

Direct access. Where you are paying for the Services directly you will have the option of taking a monthly or annual subscription. For the purposes of our monthly and annual subscriptions, a month constitutes 30 calendar days and a year constitutes 365 calendar days.

The monthly subscription is paid for in monthly instalments and for each month that your monthly subscription is active, you acknowledge and agree that we are authorised to charge the same payment card as was used for the initial subscription fee (the “Payment Method”). The monthly renewal subscription fees will continue to be billed to the Payment Method until cancelled. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the next month’s subscription fee to the Payment Method you provided. Refunds cannot be claimed for any partial-month subscription period.

 

The yearly subscription is paid for by an upfront payment with automatic annual renewals. You acknowledge and agree that we are authorized to charge the Payment Method used for the initial annual subscription fee at the rate secured at the time of purchase. You must cancel your subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the renewal subscription fee to the Payment Method you provided. Refunds cannot be claimed for any partial subscription period.

 

All prices are in pound sterling and are inclusive of VAT. Our obligation to provide the App and Services only arises when we take receipt of your order and confirm this by sending you an email. You agree to promptly notify us of any change to the Payment Method you provided while any subscriptions remain outstanding. You are responsible for all applicable fees and charges incurred, including applicable taxes, and all subscriptions purchased by you. We will remain entitled to suspend access to the App and Services or terminate this agreement without notice where payment is not received.  

 

You may not transfer the App to someone else

You personally take responsibility for agreeing to use the Services and for installing the App on up to four compatible devices per child as well as installing the App on your own devices. Other than installing the App on those four compatible devices per child and your own devices, you may not transfer the Services to someone else, whether for money, for anything else or for free. If you sell any device on which the App is installed, you must remove the App from it.
