2. Intellectual Property & Licence
2.1. We own all intellectual property rights in the Physical Products and Digital Services (including stories, illustrations, artefacts, figurines, teacher guides, videos, AR/QR content, CPD materials and documentation) unless expressly stated otherwise. All rights reserved.
2.2. Purchase grants a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence for the scope you buy (e.g., single class or site-wide). No onward copying, redistribution, public posting, resale or sub-licensing is permitted without our prior written consent.
2.3. No AI/LLM ingestion. You must not upload, ingest, scrape, fine-tune, or derive works from our content using AI/LLM or automated tools (including generating summaries or derivative content), except where we provide an explicit tool or permission.
2.4. Serialised kits & codes. Each kit or resource may include a unique ID and AR/QR/NFC code. These identifiers and codes are class/school-specific, may be time-limited, and must not be copied or shared beyond the purchased licence.

4. AR/QR/NFC & Digital Features
4.1. AR/QR/NFC links are an access mechanism to Digital Services. They may be bound to a class, school domain or time window and may require login.
4.2. We may rotate or expire codes and update content periodically to ensure quality, safety and compliance.
4.3. If a code is used outside the permitted licence (e.g., another class or school), the experience may show only a preview or be denied.
5. Physical Products (Kits, Artefacts, Book Boxes)
5.1. Use artefacts respectfully and in line with our bilingual facilitation notes. Some items may have age or handling guidance. Use of artefacts must align with cultural norms and MoE/ADEK/KHDA/regulatory body guidelines on classroom resources.
5.2. Once opened, returns are not accepted for kits/artefacts/book boxes due to copyright, safeguarding, and hygiene reasons (see section 8 for cancellations).

10. Data Protection & Privacy
10.1. We do not require pupil personal data to deliver the Services. We process limited staff account data and class-level usage analytics to provide access, evidence and support. Inspection-related evidence generated via the portal is provided as a support tool only; the school remains responsible for compliance with KHDA/MoE inspection frameworks.
10.2. We keep such data secure and use it only to operate and improve the Services. See our Privacy Notice for details.

12.1. Services are provided “as is” to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free.
12.2. Limitation of liability: to the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall not exceed the total amount paid by you in the 12 months preceding the claim. We exclude liability for indirect, consequential or special losses, loss of profits, and loss of data. Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death, personal injury, or fraud, where such limitation is not permitted under UAE law.
13. Indemnity (Responsible Use)
You agree to use the Services lawfully and in accordance with these Terms. You will be responsible for losses we suffer that are directly caused by your unauthorised redistribution, unlawful sharing of logins/codes, or misuse of artefacts contrary to our guidance.
14. Suspension & Termination
We may suspend or revoke access (without refund) where there is reasonable evidence of material breach, including: unlawful sharing of logins/codes, redistribution of content beyond licence scope, AI/LLM ingestion, or non-payment.

Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform due to events beyond reasonable control (including acts of God, epidemic/pandemic, regulatory changes, supply chain disruption, or telecommunications failures). Obligations resume once the event ends.
