The following Terms of Use (“Terms of Use”) apply to your access to and use of the Services, which we may make available through this website and our mobile app, and are separate from, and additional to, the user terms which relate to the use (if any) of the app itself.

1. YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS OF USE

(a) The Services are made available to you free of charge by us on behalf of your Institution. We are incorporated and registered in England with company number 02343760.

If you do not agree with these Terms of Use or do not understand them, you should cease using the Services immediately.

(c) We have the right to change or modify these Terms of Use at any time; as a result, please always verify whether you have consulted the latest version. Your continued use of the Services constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms of Use. The date on which the Terms of Use were last modified is indicated at the top of these Terms of Use.

(d) To use the Services, you must be at least 18 years of age (or such younger or older age as is necessary to be able to validly consent in your country). If you are younger and you wish to use the Services, you must get consent from your parent or guardian before doing so.
