By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

7. Student Data Obligations

The Service allows you to enter, store, and process information about students, including names, photographs, assessment scores, and team assignments ("Student Data").

Your obligations as a data controller: You — not [Company Name] — are the data controller for Student Data you enter. You warrant that you have obtained all necessary consents (parental, institutional, or otherwise) required under applicable law — including UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and any local education privacy regulations — before uploading or entering Student Data into the Service.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, [Company Name] shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of data, loss of revenue, or business interruption — arising from your use of the Service.

Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot be excluded by law.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, uninterrupted, or secure. You use the Service at your own risk.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless [Company Name] and its officers, directors, and employees from any claims, damages, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your User Content, or your infringement of third-party rights.

13. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, fail to pay fees, or if we discontinue the Service.

Upon termination, your right to access the Service ceases. We will retain your data for 30 days after termination, during which you may request an export. After 30 days, your data will be deleted, except as required by law.

14. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising from these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
