Terms of use

Version:

Draft: the operator details are still to be filled in. This text has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer; the fields in square brackets will be completed before publication.

1. Parties and scope

These terms govern the use of the ClassTogether service (classtogether.net), operated by [COMPANY / FULL NAME] (address: [ADDRESS], registration / tax number: [REGISTRATION NO.]; "we"). A person who creates a teacher account (the "teacher") accepts these terms when creating the account. People who join a lesson with a join code (the "students") do not create an account; by joining they agree to follow the rules in section 5.

2. The service

ClassTogether is a web service that puts a teacher's presentation on students' screens and provides classroom tools such as a live quiz, a yes/no poll, a timer, an energy meter, an end-of-course survey, exercise hints, an optional AI helper for students' questions about the open slide, and files for students. We develop and change the service and may remove features. We take care to provide it without interruption or error but cannot guarantee that: maintenance, faults or an outage at an infrastructure provider may interrupt it.

The AI helper produces answers automatically from the text of the open slide. Its answers may be incomplete or wrong; they are an aid for the student, not a replacement for the teacher, and the teacher decides whether the helper is switched on in a lesson.

7. Rights in content

The content you upload remains yours. You grant us the licence needed to store it, convert it (for example splitting a PDF into slides or rendering Markdown), show it to the students of your lesson and to the projector, and deliver it back to you, for as long as the content is in your account. Students may download the slides and files of a lesson only when the teacher allows it. The ClassTogether software, name and design are ours.

8. Price

ClassTogether is currently free. If we introduce paid plans, the free features available at that time and the terms of the paid plans will be announced in advance; nobody will be charged without agreeing to a paid plan.

9. Suspension and termination

You can delete your account at any time from the My account page; this deletes your content and your classroom data and cannot be undone. We may suspend or delete an account that breaks these terms, after notice where possible, and at once where the breach endangers other users or the service. We may close the service as a whole with reasonable notice; you can export your data before that.

10. Liability

We provide the service with reasonable skill and care. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for loss of data you could have backed up, or for an interruption caused by an infrastructure provider or your own network. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or your statutory rights as a consumer.

11. Personal data

How we process personal data is described in the privacy policy, which includes a section for students. The cookies and browser storage page explains what the browser keeps.

12. Changes

When these terms change, we publish the new version on this page with its date. Teachers are shown the new version at their first sign-in after the change and asked to accept it; a teacher who does not accept can export their data and delete the account.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of the country where the operator named in section 1 is established, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer-protection rules of the country where you live. Disputes are brought before the courts of that country, unless the law gives you the right to sue in your own.
