Terms of Use

1.1 You need an account for most activities on our platform, including to purchase and access content or to submit content for the accreditation. When setting up and maintaining your account, you must provide and continue to provide accurate and complete information, including a valid email address. You have complete responsibility for your account and everything that happens on your account, including any harm or damage (to us or anyone else) caused by someone using your account without your permission. This means you need to be careful with your password. You are solely responsible for the security and proper use of your password, which should be kept confidential at all times and not disclosed to any other person. You must notify us immediately if you believe that your password is known to someone else or if it may be used in an unauthorised way. We accept no liability for any unauthorised or improper use or disclosure of any password.

1.2 You may not transfer your account to someone else or use someone else’s account. If you contact us to request access to an account, we will not grant you such access unless you can provide us with the information that we need to prove you are the owner of that account. In the event of the death of a user, the account of that user will be closed.

1.3 You may not share your account login credentials with anyone else. You are responsible for what happens with your account and Nurturing Childhoods will not intervene in disputes between users who have shared account login credentials. You must notify us immediately upon learning that someone else may be using your account without your permission (or if you suspect any other breach of security) by contacting our Support Team. We may request some information from you to confirm that you are indeed the owner of your account.

1.4 Users must be at least 18 years of age to create an account on Nurturing Childhoods and use the Services. If you are younger than 18 but above the required age for consent to use online services where you live (for example, 13 in the US or 16 in Ireland), you may not set up an account, but we encourage you to invite a parent or guardian to open an account and help you access content that is appropriate for you. If you are below this age of consent to use online services, you may not create a Nurturing Childhoods account. If we discover that you have created an account that violates these rules, we will terminate your account.

1.5 You can terminate your account at any time by contacting our Support Team.  Please note that by closing your Nurturing Childhoods account you will lose access to all the courses you’ve enrolled in, including purchased courses.

2.1 We have taken care in the preparation of the Site. However, as certain technical matters may be beyond our control, we cannot guarantee that you will always have uninterrupted access to the Site.

2.2 When you enrol in a course or other content, you get a license from us to view it via the Nurturing Childhoods website and for no other use. Don’t try to transfer or resell content in any way. Access may be granted for a clearly defined period, subscription plans or for lifetime access, except when we must disable the content because of legal or policy reasons.

2.3 As a user, when you enrol in a course or other content, whether it’s free or paid content, you are getting a license from Nurturing Childhoods to view the content via the Nurturing Childhoods platform and Services, and Nurturing Childhoods is the licensor of record. Content is licensed, and not sold, to you. This license does not give you any right to resell the content in any manner (including by sharing account information with a purchaser or illegally downloading the content and sharing it on torrent sites).

2.4 In legal, more complete terms, Nurturing Childhoods grants you (as a user) a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view the content for which you have paid all required fees, solely for your personal, non-commercial, educational purposes through the Services, in accordance with these Terms and any conditions or restrictions associated with the particular content or feature of our Services. All other uses are expressly prohibited. You may not reproduce, redistribute, transmit, assign, sell, broadcast, rent, share, lend, modify, adapt, edit, create derivative works of, sublicense, or otherwise transfer or use any content unless we give you explicit permission to do so in a written agreement signed by a Nurturing Childhoods authorised representative. This also applies to content you can access via any of our APIs.

2.5 We generally give a lifetime, or defined period term access license to our users when they enrol in a course or other content. However, we reserve the right to revoke any license to access and use any content at any point in time in the event where we decide or are obligated to disable access to the content.  This may be due to legal or policy reasons, for example, if the course or other content you enrolled in is the object of a copyright complaint, or if we determine it violates a policy agreement. Lifetime access licenses do not apply to enrolments via Subscription Plans or to add-on features and services associated with the course or other content you enrol in. For example, Nurturing Childhoods may decide at any time to no longer provide mentor assistance or Q&A services in association with the content. To be clear, the lifetime access is to the course content but not to additional support.

2.6 Any information that you provide about yourself to Nurturing Childhoods will only be used by Nurturing Childhoods in accordance with its Privacy Policy and by using this Site you consent to our use of data collected on this Site in the manner set out in the Privacy Policy.

2.7 We may use cookies on the Site (see the Cookie Policy for further details).

3.1 When you make a payment, you agree to use a valid payment method. If you aren’t happy with your content, Nurturing Childhoods offers a 14-day refund or credit for most content purchases.

Pricing

3.2 The prices of content on Nurturing Childhoods are determined by Nurturing Childhoods and in some instances, may not be exactly the same as the price offered via third parties.  We occasionally run promotions and sales for our content, during which certain content is available at discounted prices for a set period of time. The price applicable to the content will be the price at the time you complete your purchase of the content (at checkout).  Any price offered for particular content may also be different when you are logged into your account from the price available to users who aren’t registered or logged in, because some of our promotions are available only to new users.

3.3 If you are logged into your account, the listed currency you see is based on your location when you created your account. If you are not logged into your account, the price currency is based on the country where you are located. We do not enable users to see pricing in other currencies.

3.4 If you are a user located in a country where sales tax, goods and services tax, or value added tax is applicable to consumer sales, we are responsible for collecting and remitting that tax to the proper tax authorities. Depending on your location, the price you see may include such taxes, or tax may be added at checkout.

Payments

3.5 You agree to pay the fees for content that you purchase, and you authorise us to charge your debit or credit card or process other means of payment (such as Stripe, SEPA, direct debit, or mobile wallet) for those fees. Nurturing Childhoods works with payment service providers to offer you the most convenient payment methods in your country and to keep your payment information secure. We may update your payment methods using information provided by our payment service providers. Check out our Privacy Policy for more details.

3.6 When you make a purchase, you agree not to use an invalid or unauthorised payment method. If your payment method fails and you still get access to the content you are enrolling in, you agree to pay us the corresponding fees within fourteen (14) days of notification from us. We reserve the right to disable access to any content for which we have not received adequate payment.

Refunds and Refund Credits

3.7 If the content you purchased is not what you were expecting, you can request, within 14 days of your purchase of the content, that Nurturing Childhoods apply a refund to your account. This refund option does not apply to Subscription Plan purchases, which are covered in Section 8.13 below. We reserve the right to apply your refund as a refund credit or a refund to your original payment method, at our discretion, depending on capabilities of our payment service providers, the platform from which you purchased your content (website, mobile or TV app), and other factors. No refund is due to you if you request it after the 14-day guarantee time limit has passed. However, if the content you previously purchased is disabled for legal or policy reasons, you are entitled to a refund beyond this 14-day limit. Nurturing Childhoods also reserves the right to refund users beyond the 14-day limit in cases of suspected or confirmed account fraud.

3.8 To request a refund, contact the Support Team detailing why a refund is requested.

3.9 If we decide to issue refund credits to your account, they will be automatically applied towards your next content purchase on our website. Refund credits may expire if not used within the specified period and have no cash value, in each case unless otherwise required by applicable law.

3.10 At our discretion, if we believe you are abusing our refund policy, such as if you’ve consumed a significant portion of the content that you want to refund or if you’ve previously refunded the content, we reserve the right to deny your refund, restrict you from other future refunds, ban your account, and/or restrict all future use of the Services. In this instance, you will not be eligible to receive a refund.

Gift and Promotional Codes

3.11 Nurturing Childhoods or our partners may offer gift and promotional codes to users. Certain codes may be redeemed for gift or promotional credits applied to your Nurturing Childhoods account, which then may be used to purchase eligible content on our platform, subject to the terms included with your codes. Other codes may be directly redeemable for specific content.

3.12 These codes and credits, as well as any promotional value linked to them, may expire if not used within the period specified in your Nurturing Childhoods account. Gift and promotional codes offered by Nurturing Childhoods may not be refunded for cash, unless otherwise specified in the terms included with your codes or as required by applicable law. Gift and promotional codes offered by a partner are subject to that partner’s refund policies. If you have multiple saved credit amounts, Nurturing Childhoods may determine which of your credits to apply to your purchase.  Contact the Support Team if you require more details.

4.1 You can only use Nurturing Childhoods for lawful purposes. You’re responsible for all the content that you post on our platform and should keep any reviews, questions or posts you upload in line with our Privacy Policy and the law, and respect the intellectual property rights of Nurturing Childhoods.  You are also responsible for ensuring that all information, data and files are free of viruses or other routines or engines that may damage or interfere with any system or data prior to being submitted to the Website.

8.1 This section covers additional terms that apply to your use of our subscription-based collections as a user (“Subscription Plans”). By using a Subscription Plan, you agree to the additional terms in this section. Note that use of Nurturing Childhoods Business is not subject to these Terms but is instead governed by the agreement between Nurturing Childhoods and the subscribing organisation.

Subscription Plans

8.2 Some of our courses and access is granted via a Subscription Plan.  During your subscription to a Subscription Plan, you get a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license from us to access and view the content included in that Subscription Plan via the Services. Except for the lifetime access license grant, the terms included in the “Content Enrolment and Lifetime Access” section above apply to enrolments via Subscription Plans.

8.3 The subscription that you purchase or renew determines the scope, features, and price of your access to a Subscription Plan. You may not transfer, assign, or share your subscription with anyone else.

8.4 We reserve the right to revoke any license to use the content in our Subscription Plans for legal or policy reasons at any time and at our sole discretion, such as if we no longer have the right to offer the content through a Subscription Plan. Additional information on our right to revoke is included in the “Content Enrolment and Lifetime Access” section.

Account Management

8.5 You may cancel your subscription by contacting the Support Team. If you cancel your subscription to a Subscription Plan, your access to that Subscription Plan will automatically end on the last day of your billing period. On cancellation, you will not be entitled to receive a refund or credit of any fees already paid for your subscription, unless otherwise required by applicable law. For clarity, cancellation of a subscription does not terminate your Nurturing Childhoods account.

Free Trials & Renewals

8.6 Your subscription may start with a free trial. The duration of the free trial period of your subscription will be specified during sign-up. Nurturing Childhoods determines free trial eligibility at our sole discretion and may limit eligibility or duration. We reserve the right to terminate the free trial and suspend your subscription if we determine that you aren’t eligible.

8.7 We will charge the subscription fee for your next billing cycle at the end of the free trial period. Your subscription will automatically renew according to your subscription settings (e.g., monthly or annually) unless you cancel your subscription prior to the end of the free trial period. For more information on how to view applicable fees and dates of your free trial period, contact the Support Team.

Payments and Billing

8.8 The subscription fee will be listed at the time of your purchase. We may also be required to add taxes to your subscription fee as described in the “Payments, Credits, and Refunds” section above. Payments are non-refundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

8.9 To subscribe to a Subscription Plan, you must provide a payment method. By subscribing to a Subscription Plan and providing your billing information during checkout, you grant us and our payment service providers the right to process payment for the then-applicable fees via the payment method we have on record for you. At the end of each subscription term, we will automatically renew your subscription for the same length of term and process your payment method for payment of the then-applicable fees.

8.10 In the event that we update your payment method using information provided by our payment service providers (as described in the “Payments, Credits, and Refunds” section above), you authorise us to continue to charge the then-applicable fees to your updated payment method.

8.11 If we are unable to process payment through the payment method we have on file for you, or if you file a chargeback disputing charges made to your payment method and the chargeback is granted, we may suspend or terminate your subscription.

8.12 We reserve the right to change our Subscription Plans or adjust pricing for our Services at our sole discretion. Any price changes or changes to your subscription will take effect following notice to you, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Subscription Disclaimers

8.13 We make no guarantees as to the availability of any specific content in any Subscription Plan or as to any minimum amount of content in any Subscription Plan. At any point in the future, we reserve the right to offer or cease to offer additional features to any Subscription Plan, or to otherwise modify or terminate a Subscription Plan at our sole discretion. These disclaimers are in addition to those listed in the “Disclaimers” section below.

9.1 These Terms are like any other contract, and they have boring but important legal terms that protect us from the countless things that could happen and that clarify the legal relationship between us and you.

Binding Agreement

9.2 You agree that by registering, accessing, or using our Services, you are agreeing to enter into a legally binding contract with Nurturing Childhoods. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not register, access, or otherwise use any of our Services.

9.3 Any version of these Terms in a language other than English is provided for convenience and you understand and agree that the English language will control if there is any conflict.

9.4 These Terms (including any agreements and policies linked from these Terms) constitute the entire agreement between you and us.

9.5 If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable by applicable law, then that provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of these Terms will continue in effect.

9.6 Even if we are delayed in exercising our rights or fail to exercise a right in one case, it doesn’t mean we waive our rights under these Terms, and we may decide to enforce them in the future. If we decide to waive any of our rights in a particular instance, it doesn’t mean we waive our rights generally or in the future.

9.7 The following sections shall survive the expiration or termination of these Terms: Sections 2 (Content Enrolment and Lifetime Access), 5 (Nurturing Childhoods’ Rights to Content You Post), 6 (Using Nurturing Childhoods at Your Own Risk), 7 (Nurturing Childhoods’ Rights), 8.5 (Subscription Disclaimers), 9 (Miscellaneous Legal Terms), and 10 (Dispute Resolution).

Disclaimers

9.8 It may happen that our platform is down, either for planned maintenance or because something goes down with the site. It may happen that a misleading statement is made in some content. It may also happen that we encounter security issues. These are just examples. You accept that you will not have any recourse against us in any of these types of cases where things don’t work out right. In legal, more complete language, the Services and their content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We (and our affiliates, suppliers, partners, and agents) make no representations or warranties about the suitability, reliability, availability, timeliness, security, lack of errors, or accuracy of the Services or their content, and expressly disclaim any warranties or conditions (express or implied), including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We (and our affiliates, suppliers, partners, and agents) make no warranty that you will obtain specific results from use of the Services. Your use of the Services (including any content) is entirely at your own risk. Some jurisdictions don’t allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

9.9 We may decide to cease making available certain features of the Services at any time and for any reason. Under no circumstances will Nurturing Childhoods or its affiliates, suppliers, partners or agents be held liable for any damages due to such interruptions or lack of availability of such features.

9.10 We are not responsible for delay or failure of our performance of any of the Services caused by events beyond our reasonable control, like an act of war, hostility, or sabotage; natural disaster; electrical, internet, or telecommunication outage; or government restrictions.

Limitation of Liability

9.11 There are risks inherent to using our Services, for example, if you access physical play content and your child injures themselves. You fully accept these risks, and you agree that you will have no recourse to seek damages against even if you suffer loss or damage from using our platform and Services. In legal, more complete language, to the extent permitted by law, we (and our group companies, suppliers, partners, and agents) will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages (including loss of data, revenue, profits, or business opportunities, or personal injury or death), whether arising in contract, warranty, tort, product liability, or otherwise, and even if we’ve been advised of the possibility of damages in advance.

Indemnification

9.12 If you behave in a way that gets us in legal trouble, we may exercise legal recourse against you. You agree to indemnify, defend (if we so request), and hold harmless Nurturing Childhoods, our group companies, and their officers, directors, suppliers, partners, and agents from an against any third-party claims, demands, losses, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from (a) the content you post or submit, (b) your use of the Services (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any rights of a third party. Your indemnification obligation will survive the termination of these Terms and your use of the Services.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

9.13 These Terms & Conditions shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law and you and Nurturing Childhoods irrevocably agree that the courts of England shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute which may arise out of, under, or in connection with the same or the legal relationship established by them.

9.14 When these Terms mention “Nurturing Childhoods,” they’re referring to the Nurturing Childhoods entity that you’re contracting with. If you’re a user, your contracting entity and governing law will generally be determined based on your location.

Legal Actions and Notices

9.15 No action, regardless of form, arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be brought by either party more than one (1) year after the cause of action has accrued, except where this limitation cannot be imposed by law.

9.16 Any notice or other communication to be given hereunder will be in writing and given by registered or certified mail return receipt requested, or email (by us to the email associated with your account or by you to [email protected]).

Relationship Between Us

9.17 You and we agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, contractor, or agency relationship exists between us.

No Assignment

9.18 You may not assign or transfer these Terms (or the rights and licenses granted under them). For example, if you registered an account as an employee of a company, your account cannot be transferred to another employee. We may assign these Terms (or the rights and licenses granted under them) to another company or person without restriction. Nothing in these Terms confers any right, benefit, or remedy on any third-party person or entity. You agree that your account is non-transferable and that all rights to your account and other rights under these Terms terminate upon your death.

10.1 If there’s a dispute, our Support Team is happy to help resolve the issue.    If any provision of these terms is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of that provision will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms & Conditions, which shall remain in full force and effect.

10.2 Failure by either party to exercise any right or remedy under these terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or remedy. Headings in these terms are for convenience only and will have no legal meaning or effect.
