You may download content from our Services only for your personal, non-commercial educational use, unless you obtain our express written permission.

2. Content Offerings & Academic Credits
2.1 Changes to Content Offerings
The Company offers courses, training models and material ("Content Offerings") from various external authors, internal creators and industry providers ("Content Providers"). The Company reserves the right to cancel, interrupt, reschedule or modify any Content Offerings, or change the point value or weight of any assignment, quiz or assessment, either solely or in accordance with Content Provider requirements.
2.2 Professional and Academic Credits
Unless explicitly stated in writing in connection with an officially accredited vocational body or awarding organisation, completion of a Content Offering does not confer standard academic degrees or university credits. There is no presumption that external institutions or regulatory frameworks will universally accept our training hours or Continuous Professional Development (CPD) points.
You agree not to claim credit for completing a Content Offering unless you have successfully earned an official course certificate issued by us.
2.3 Disclaimer of Institutional Relationship

Establish any direct employment, partnership or institutional relationship between you and any third-party Content Provider.

Enrol or register you as a student in any external Content Provider institution or awarding body.
-
Entitle you to utilise the physical resources or facilities of any external Content Provider
3. User Content & Feedback
3.1 User Content
The Services enable you to share your content, such as homework, quizzes, exams, projects, forum posts and practical logs ("User Content"), with the Company, instructors and other learners. You retain all pre-existing intellectual property rights in, and remain solely responsible for, the User Content you create. User Content does not include master course layouts, video recordings, structures or source materials placed onto our platform by us or our Content Providers.
3.2 How We May Use User Content
To the extent that you provide User Content, you grant the Company a fully transferable, royalty-free, perpetual, sub-licensable, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to copy, distribute, modify, create derivative works based on, publicly perform, publicly display and otherwise use your User Content for educational delivery, platform optimisation and marketing purposes.

All training videos, documentation, platforms and course code deployed on the platform are the exclusive intellectual property of the Company and its infrastructure partner, Global Technology Group Limited. Unauthorised copying, distribution, downloading or scraping of our materials is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate termination of service and potential legal recovery actions for breach of copyright.

Professional licensure, statutory certification and specific job requirements for various vocational roles (such as Adult Care, Early Years, or Children's Homes) vary significantly by region, local authority and individual employer.
The Company does not guarantee employment, promotion or specific regulatory licensure purely on the basis of your completion of a Content Offering. You are solely advised to investigate whether our specific Content Offering meets your exact professional or institutional needs before purchasing subscriptions or credits.
9. Modifying or Terminating Our Services
We are constantly updating, refining and improving our digital platforms. We may add or remove functions, features or training paths, and we may suspend or stop part of our Services altogether. Accordingly, the Company may terminate your use of any Service or revoke your access token for any material breach of these Terms, non-payment or critical regulatory updates.

13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including non-contractual disputes), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.
Subject to Section 14 (Arbitration), the parties agree that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction. This section does not deprive individual consumers of any mandatory statutory protections under the laws of the specific country within the UK (e.g., Scotland or Northern Ireland) in which they habitually reside.
14. Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration
14.1 Scope of Arbitration
If you are accessing the Services as a business, corporate subscriber or independent contractor, you and the Company agree to submit to binding arbitration any and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to our Services, these Terms or your commercial relationship with us (each a “Claim”).
14.2 Consumer Exception
If you are an individual consumer accessing the platform for personal use, this mandatory arbitration clause does not apply to you. You retain your statutory right to bring qualifying claims in the County Court (including the Small Claims Track) on an individual basis.
14.3 Arbitration Framework
Any commercial Claims shall be submitted for binding arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Arbitration Act 1996. A single, independent arbitrator shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties. In default of agreement within 14 days of a dispute being referred, the arbitrator shall be appointed by the President of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) or The Law Society of England and Wales. The arbitration shall take place in England, and the language shall be English.
14.4 Arbitrator Requirements & Costs
The arbitrator shall be a qualified solicitor or barrister with a current practising certificate in England and Wales (with at least five years of post-qualification experience) or a retired UK judge. Except where otherwise directed by the arbitrator in accordance with the Arbitration Act 1996, the unsuccessful party shall bear the reasonable costs of the arbitration proceedings, including the arbitrator's fees and the reasonable legal and administrative costs incurred by the prevailing party. All proceedings shall remain strictly confidential.
14.5 Group and Representative Action Waiver
All claims, disputes or arbitration proceedings under this Agreement must be brought on an individual basis and not as a claimant, group member or representative in any corporate class or group litigation proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate, join or manage the claims of multiple parties into a single proceeding.
14.6 Severability of Dispute Terms
If any provision or part-provision of this Arbitration Section is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision shall be deleted, leaving the rest of this section in full effect, provided that the restriction on group actions remains intact.
15. General Terms
15.1 Revisions to the Terms
We reserve the right to revise these Terms at our sole discretion at any time. Any revisions will be effective immediately upon posting to our Site. For any material changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify you via a banner on the website homepage, an email notification or a direct account alert. Your continued use of the Services after publication constitutes binding acceptance of the revised Terms.
15.2 Severability and Waiver
If any provision of these Terms is deemed unenforceable under local statutory law, this will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other terms. No failure or delay by either party to exercise any right or remedy provided under these Terms shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy.
15.3 Third-Party Rights
Our system infrastructure partner, Global Technology Group Limited, and our authorised Content Providers are designated third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may directly enforce provisions that relate to them or protect their proprietary intellectual property. Otherwise, a person who is not a party to these Terms has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any part of these agreements
