Terms of Service

The agreement

These terms are between ScholarDeck ("we") and the school that signs up ("the school"). Creating an account accepts them. Where a signed agreement exists with a school, that agreement takes precedence over anything here that conflicts with it.

What the school is responsible for

The school controls its own records and its own users. In particular:

• Keeping accounts accurate, and removing access promptly when a member of staff leaves. Revoking a role stops write access immediately; read access can persist for up to fifteen minutes while a signed-in session expires.
• The accuracy of everything it enters. We do not check or verify results, fees or pupil records.
• Having a lawful basis for holding the pupil and guardian data it enters, and for any communication it sends through the platform.
• Not attempting to access another school's data, probe the service for vulnerabilities without our written agreement, or resell access.

What we are responsible for

Providing the service with reasonable skill and care, keeping each school's data isolated from every other school's, taking nightly backups, and telling the school without undue delay if we become aware of a breach affecting its data.

We do not promise uninterrupted availability. We will give notice of planned maintenance where we reasonably can, and we will avoid scheduling it during an examination period where we know of one.

Fees

Fees, the billing period and any free allowance are as set out on our pricing page or in the school's signed agreement. Fees are stated in naira and exclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise. Payments are collected by our payment provider.

We may change prices with at least 60 days' written notice. A change takes effect at the school's next renewal, never mid-term.

Your data stays yours

The school owns its data. We claim no ownership of it and will not use it for any purpose other than providing the service. The school can export its data at any time while its account is active, and for 90 days after it ends.

Ending the agreement

The school may stop using the service at any time, effective at the end of its current billing period. We may end the agreement for a material breach that is not fixed within 30 days of us asking, or immediately where the law requires it.

On termination the school has 90 days to export its data, after which we delete it.

Liability

Nothing in these terms limits liability where the law does not allow it to be limited. Subject to that, neither side is liable for indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability in any twelve-month period is limited to the fees the school paid us in that period.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and the courts of Nigeria have exclusive jurisdiction.
