Terms & Conditions

LEARN-CO.DE LTD ("learn-co.de", "we", "us", "our")

Version 1.0 — Effective 22 June 2026

---

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern access to and use of the learn-co.de computer science teaching and learning platform ("the Service"), provided by LEARN-CO.DE LTD, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17293312, registered office 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom). By creating an account, subscribing, or using the Service, the School (and each user) agrees to these Terms.

1. The Service and who it is for

1.1 The Service is provided to schools for the purpose of education — specifically, teaching and learning in computer science. It is intended for use by teachers and staff of a registered education institution and the pupils of that institution.

1.2 The person who registers a school account confirms they are authorised to enter into these Terms on behalf of the School.

2. Accounts — one account per person

2.1 Each user account is for a single named individual. Accounts are personal to the user to whom they are issued.

2.2 Accounts must not be shared. Multiple teachers must not use the same teacher account, and multiple pupils must not use the same pupil account. In particular, a school must not have a whole class of pupils log in using one shared account, whether to avoid plan limits, payment, or for any other reason. Each pupil who uses the Service must have their own account.

2.3 We may treat account sharing as a breach of these Terms and as misuse that justifies the actions in clause 9.

2.4 The School is responsible for keeping login credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under its accounts.

3. One school per account; multi-academy trusts

3.1 An account (and its data) relates to one school. Accounts and data must not be shared between different schools.

3.2 Where schools are part of a multi-academy trust (MAT) or similar group but operate as separate schools — with separate teachers and pupils — each such school must have its own separate account. A single account must not be used to cover multiple distinct schools.

4. Plans, limits and fair use

4.1 The Service is offered on the following plans:

Plan	Monthly	Annual	Included
SOLO	£15/month	£150/year	1 teacher
TEAM	£25/month	£250/year	Multiple teachers (whole department/school)

All prices are shown in pounds sterling and are exclusive of VAT; VAT is not currently charged. If we become required to charge VAT (for example, on VAT registration) or it otherwise becomes applicable, we may either add VAT to the prices above at the prevailing rate, or increase the subscription price so that it includes VAT. Any such change is a price change and is dealt with under clause 5.3.

4.2 To keep the Service fair and sustainable, each plan is subject to the following usage limits. These are operational limits rather than headline advertised figures, but they form part of these Terms:

• SOLO: up to 1 teacher, up to 100 classes, and up to 40 students per class.
• TEAM: up to 100 teachers, up to 1,000 classes, and up to 40 students per class.

4.3 We may decline to create, or may limit, usage that exceeds these limits, and we may contact a School whose usage is inconsistent with its plan to discuss an appropriate plan.

4.4 We may offer a free tier or free trial from time to time; any such offer is subject to these Terms and to the limits we specify for it.

5. Payment, renewal and price changes

5.1 Fees are billed in advance through our payment processor (Stripe). Monthly plans renew monthly; annual plans renew annually, unless cancelled.

5.2 Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. You may cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current billing period; fees already paid are non-refundable except where required by law.

5.3 We may change prices, including to reflect changes in tax — such as our becoming required to charge VAT. Where VAT becomes chargeable, we may add it to the prices then in force or increase prices so that they include VAT; either is a price change under this clause. For existing subscribers, price changes take effect at the next renewal and we will give reasonable advance notice.

5.4 If a payment fails, we may retry and will allow a reasonable period to resolve the issue before suspending or downgrading the account. We will not delete School data simply because a single payment is late (see clause 8).

6. Data protection and ownership of data

6.1 In relation to pupil and teacher personal data, the School is the data controller and we are the data processor. Our processing is governed by our Data Processing Agreement and Privacy Policy, which form part of these Terms.

6.2 The School owns its data, including content entered by its pupils (such as answers and text or comments written inside coding tasks). We claim no ownership of School data.

6.3 Teachers are responsible for monitoring data entered by their pupils. Because pupils can enter free text (for example comments in code), the School is responsible for supervising and moderating that content. Such content is owned by the School and should be monitored by the School.

6.4 Notwithstanding clause 6.3, where content is inappropriate, unlawful, or in breach of our Acceptable Use Policy, we reserve the right to delete the content, restrict or delete the account, suspend access, and take any other appropriate steps, including notifying the School and, where required, the relevant authorities.

7. Acceptable use

7.1 Use of the Service must comply with our Acceptable Use Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

7.2 The Service must be used lawfully, for legitimate educational purposes, and must not be used to store or transmit unlawful, harmful, or inappropriate material.

8. Cancellation, non-renewal and deletion of data

8.1 If a subscription is not continued (cancelled, expired, or not renewed), the School's data — including pupil and teacher data — will be deleted, in accordance with our data-retention process.

8.2 To protect against accidental loss (for example from a payment issue, renewal delay, or mistaken cancellation), we retain the School's data for a grace period of 90 days after the subscription ends. During this period the School can export its data or resume its subscription.

8.3 After the grace period, the School's data is permanently deleted within a further 30 days, unless the School instructs us otherwise in writing or we are required by law to retain it. Deletion is irreversible.

8.4 The School is responsible for exporting any data it wishes to keep before the end of the grace period. The admin area provides a tool to download all of the School's data.

9. Suspension, restriction and termination

9.1 We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access (in whole or in part) where: there is a breach of these Terms (including account sharing or misuse); there is inappropriate or unlawful content or conduct; payment is overdue beyond a reasonable period; or it is necessary to protect users, the Service, or third parties.

9.2 Where practical and lawful, we will give notice and an opportunity to remedy, but we may act immediately where there is a risk to safety, security, or legal compliance.

9.3 Either party may terminate as set out in these Terms or the subscription. On termination, clause 8 (deletion of data) applies.

10. Administrator controls

The School's administrator can manage the School account, including approving teachers, managing classes and pupils, deleting individual teacher or pupil accounts and erasing their data, exporting all of the School's data, and deleting the entire School (which permanently erases all associated data). These actions are powerful and, once completed, are permanent.

11. Availability and support

11.1 We aim to provide a reliable Service but do not guarantee that it will be uninterrupted or error-free. We may carry out maintenance and will try to minimise disruption.

11.2 We provide support via the contact channels published on our website.

12. Intellectual property

12.1 We (and our licensors) own all intellectual property rights in the Service, including the platform, software, question engine, question banks, and content we provide. We grant the School a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Service for educational purposes for the duration of the subscription.

12.2 The School retains all rights in its own data and content (clause 6).

13. Liability

13.1 Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law (including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud).

13.2 Subject to clause 13.1, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, or loss of data to the extent caused by the School's failure to export data before deletion under clause 8.

13.3 Subject to clause 13.1, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Service in any 12-month period is limited to the fees paid by the School for the Service in that period.

13.4 The School is responsible for its own use of the Service, for supervising its pupils, and for meeting its own legal obligations as data controller and as a school (including safeguarding).

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Where changes are material, we will give reasonable notice. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
