Terms of Service.

1. Acceptance of terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User") and Intellect Education Limited, an Irish-registered company ("Company", "we", "us", "our"), governing your access to and use of SprintUp Education ("Platform"), the Company's flagship product.

By creating an account, accessing the Platform, or using any part of the service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of an organisation — such as a school or educational institution — you represent that you have the authority to bind that organisation, and references to "you" include that organisation.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Platform. Use of the Platform constitutes ongoing acceptance of the then-current Terms.

2. Definitions

"Platform" means SprintUp Education, the online service operated by Intellect Education Limited, accessible at sprintup.education and associated subdomains.

"School" means an educational institution that has registered a school account on the Platform, including but not limited to primary schools, secondary schools, higher education institutions, independent schools, and online learning organisations.

"Creator" means an individual or organisation that uses the Platform to build, publish, and sell curriculum content through the Marketplace.

"Student" means a learner enrolled in a School's digital campus on the Platform. Student accounts are created and managed by the School, not by students directly.

"Content" means all material uploaded, created, published, or distributed through the Platform, including curriculum, lesson plans, courses, assessments, and any other educational material.

"Marketplace" means the curriculum marketplace feature of the Platform through which Creators publish and sell Content to Schools.

"AI Tools" means the artificial intelligence-powered features of the Platform that generate curriculum content, lesson plans, assessments, and other educational materials.

"Credits" means the unit of measurement for fast-lane AI Tool usage. Credits are included monthly with paid plans and may be purchased additionally. Credits are not required for relax-lane generation, which is unlimited on all plans.

"Consumer" means an individual who uses the Platform for purposes outside their trade, business or profession. Schools, organisations and Creators selling on the Marketplace are not Consumers. Where these Terms give Consumers additional rights, those rights come from EU and Irish consumer law and cannot be reduced by these Terms.

3. Accounts and registration

To access the Platform's features, you must register an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep that information updated.

Account security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately at contact@intellect.education of any unauthorised access or suspected security breach.

One account per entity. Each school or organisation may maintain one primary administrative account. Multiple teacher and student accounts may be created under a school account by the school administrator.

Minimum age. You must be at least 18 to create a direct account (school administrator, teacher or Creator), because these accounts can enter into paid contracts. Students of any age use the Platform only through accounts created and managed by their School. Schools are responsible for meeting the age and consent rules that apply to their students.

Accuracy of information. You may not impersonate any person or entity, misrepresent your affiliation with any institution, or provide false information to obtain access to the Platform or the Marketplace.

4. Plans and payments

The Platform is available under the following commercial arrangements:

SprintUp badge. Websites of schools on the Free plan show a small “Made with SprintUp Education” badge, linking to SprintUp, on every page. You may not hide, cover or remove it while you are on that plan. It is removed within a few minutes of moving to Pro or Academy, and it returns if your paid plan ends or an Academy subscription is suspended for non-payment. The badge itself sets no cookies and collects no information about your website’s visitors; a visitor who clicks it goes to sprintup.education, where our Privacy Policy applies.

Referral months. When a school signs up through the badge on your website and then pays for Pro or Academy for the first time, your school earns one free month of Pro. The month becomes usable 14 days after that payment, and is cancelled if the payment is refunded in that time. You can hold up to 12 unused months, and each lapses 12 months after it is earned. On the Free plan you use them by starting Pro with a card: the free months come first, as a trial, and Pro then renews at its usual price unless you cancel. On a paid plan they are used automatically, one per invoice: a monthly Pro invoice becomes free, and a yearly Pro or an Academy invoice is reduced by the price of a monthly Pro. No month is earned for a school run by the same person as yours. Months have no cash value and cannot be transferred. We may change or end this programme; months already earned stay usable until they lapse.

Prices and VAT. Prices are in euro and exclude VAT. VAT is added at checkout where it applies. The total you will pay is shown before you confirm a purchase.

Payment processing. Payments are processed by Stripe. By paying on the Platform you also agree to Stripe's terms. We never see or store your card details.

Renewal and cancellation. Paid plans renew automatically each month or year until cancelled. You can cancel at any time from your billing settings or by emailing contact@intellect.education. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for, and you keep access until then. Plan credits expire at the end of each billing period; top-up credits do not expire.

Refunds. Apart from the Consumer rights below, fees and credit top-ups are not refundable once the billing period or the credits have started to be used, unless we have failed to provide the service in a material way or the law requires a refund. Refund requests go to contact@intellect.education.

Price changes. We will give existing subscribers at least 30 days' notice by email before any price increase. If you do not want to pay the new price, you can cancel before it takes effect and the old price applies until then.

Changes to features. We may improve, change or retire features. If a change materially reduces what a paid plan includes, we will give at least 30 days' notice and you may cancel and receive a refund for the unused part of any period you have paid for in advance. We will keep a meaningful free plan, and any material reduction in the free plan will be announced at least 60 days ahead.

5. Acceptable use

You agree to use the Platform only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. The following conduct is expressly prohibited:

We may remove Content that breaks these rules and suspend or close the accounts responsible. For serious breaches (see Section 13) we may do so without prior notice and, where the law allows, without a refund of the current billing period.

6. Content and intellectual property

Your content — you own it. You retain full intellectual property ownership of all Content you create on the Platform. Creating, uploading, or publishing Content on SprintUp Education does not transfer any ownership rights to the Company.

Licence to the Platform. By uploading or publishing Content on the Platform, you grant Intellect Education Limited a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to store, display, deliver, and transmit your Content solely for the purpose of operating and providing the Platform service to you and to users you have authorised to access your Content (including schools that have licensed your Marketplace listings). This licence does not extend to any other use of your Content.

No licence to train AI. The licence granted above does not include any right for the Company or its third-party AI providers to use your Content to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models without your separate, explicit, written consent.

Company intellectual property. All rights in the Platform itself — including its software, design, trademarks, and underlying technology — are owned by or licensed to Intellect Education Limited. Nothing in these Terms grants you any rights in the Platform's intellectual property beyond the right to use it as set out herein.

Third-party content. You are solely responsible for ensuring that Content you publish does not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party. You must have all necessary rights, licences, and permissions before publishing Content on the Platform.

7. Marketplace

Platform as facilitator. The Marketplace is a platform through which Creators and Schools transact directly. Intellect Education Limited is not a party to the contract between a Creator and a School for the purchase of curriculum content. The Company acts solely as a technical facilitator and payment agent for Marketplace transactions.

Creator revenue share. Creators receive 80% of the net sale price of each Marketplace transaction, after deduction of applicable payment processing fees charged by Stripe. The Company retains 20% as a platform fee. This revenue split is effective as of the date of these Terms and may not be reduced below 80% for existing Creator accounts without 90 days' written notice.

No warranty on Marketplace content. The Company makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, quality, fitness for purpose, or suitability for any particular educational context of curriculum content listed on the Marketplace. Schools adopt Marketplace content at their own discretion and risk. Any disputes regarding the quality or suitability of purchased content should be resolved directly between the School and the Creator.

Creator responsibilities. Creators are solely responsible for the accuracy of their Marketplace listings, the quality of their Content, compliance with applicable educational standards where claimed, and ensuring their Content does not infringe third-party rights.

Marketplace transaction disputes. In the event of a dispute between a School and a Creator arising from a Marketplace transaction, the Company may assist in facilitation but is not obligated to resolve such disputes and will not be liable for their outcome.

Removal of listings. The Company reserves the right to remove any Marketplace listing at any time if it violates these Terms, our content policies, or applicable law.

8. AI tools

The Platform's AI Tools are powered by third-party AI service providers. By using the AI Tools, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

No warranty on AI outputs. AI-generated content is provided as a starting point and aid for educators and curriculum creators. The Company makes no representations or warranties that AI-generated content is accurate, complete, pedagogically appropriate, aligned to any educational standard, or suitable for any particular use. You are solely responsible for reviewing, editing, and verifying AI-generated content before using it with students or publishing it on the Marketplace.

Professional judgement required. AI Tools are not a substitute for professional educational judgement. Teachers and creators using AI Tools remain solely responsible for the educational appropriateness of the content they use or publish.

Credits. AI Tool usage consumes credits from your account allocation. When your credit balance reaches zero, AI Tool generation will pause. All other Platform features — campus, courses, student portal, Marketplace — continue to function normally. Credits may be purchased at any time.

AI data processing. When you use the AI Tools, your prompt is sent to a third-party AI provider to generate the output. We never use your prompts or Content to train AI models. Do not include students' personal data in prompts. Section 7 of our Privacy Policy names the providers and explains what they receive.

9. Schools and student data

Schools as data controllers. When a School enrols students on the Platform, the School is the data controller for those students' personal data. The Company processes student data as a data processor on the School's documented instructions, under GDPR Article 28, our Privacy Policy and our Data Processing Agreement (DPA). The DPA is available from contact@intellect.education and forms part of the School's agreement with us.

School responsibility for students. Schools are solely responsible for: obtaining any necessary consents for student enrolment including parental consent for minors; ensuring their use of the Platform complies with applicable data protection, safeguarding, and education law in their jurisdiction; and managing student access appropriately.

Multi-campus accounts. Schools using the multi-campus feature may operate multiple digital campuses under one account. Each campus is subject to these Terms. The school administrator is responsible for all activity across all campuses under their account.

Student accounts. Student accounts are created and managed exclusively by school administrators. Students do not enter into a direct contractual relationship with the Company — their use of the Platform is governed by the School's agreement with the Company under these Terms.

10. What we do and do not promise

We provide the Platform with reasonable care and skill and keep it working as described in these Terms and on our pricing page. We fix faults within a reasonable time once we know about them.

What we do not promise. We do not promise that the Platform will be available without interruption, that it will be free of errors, that any particular learning outcome will be achieved, or that Content, AI output or Marketplace material is accurate or suitable for your purpose. Planned and unplanned maintenance can cause temporary downtime.

Consumers. If you are a Consumer, nothing in this Section removes your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2022 or EU law to a service that matches its description and is of the quality you can reasonably expect.

11. Limitation of liability

What we are always liable for. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for breach of our obligations as a data processor under the DPA, or for anything else that cannot be limited under Irish or EU law. If you are a Consumer, nothing in this Section reduces your statutory rights.

Why this cap exists. The Platform is priced for schools and educators on the basis of this allocation of risk, including a free plan. Schools that need a higher cap can ask about a Chain agreement.

12. Indemnification

This Section applies only to Schools, organisations and Creators acting in the course of business. It does not apply to Consumers.

This obligation survives the end of these Terms.

13. Termination

Termination by the Company. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and access to the Platform immediately and without prior notice if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have: violated these Terms or our acceptable use policy; engaged in fraudulent, harmful, or illegal conduct; published Content that infringes third-party rights or violates applicable law; or posed a risk to the security, integrity, or reputation of the Platform or its users.

Serious violations. The following constitute serious violations warranting immediate termination without warning: publication of content harmful to minors; fraudulent misrepresentation of identity or institutional affiliation; deliberate infringement of third-party intellectual property; any attempt to compromise the security or data of other Platform users.

Termination for repeated violations. Repeated violations of our acceptable use policy — even if individually minor — may result in termination after notice at our discretion.

Closing your account. You may close your account at any time by emailing contact@intellect.education. Your paid plan ends at the close of the period you have paid for. Before closing, you can ask us for an export of your Content and data. After closing: access ends, Marketplace listings are deactivated, and your data is deleted as described in our Privacy Policy. Unused credits are not refunded unless Section 4 or the law requires it.

If we end a paid plan without cause. If we close your account or withdraw the Platform for a reason other than your breach, we will give at least 30 days' notice, allow you to export your data, and refund the unused part of any period you have paid for in advance.

Effect of termination. Termination does not affect rights or obligations that arose before it. Sections 6 (IP), 7 (Marketplace), 10, 11, 12 and 15 survive termination.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms at any time to reflect changes to the Platform, our commercial arrangements, or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will notify registered users by email and by displaying a notice within the Platform at least 14 days before the changes take effect.

If you do not accept a material change, you may close your account before it takes effect. If you have paid in advance, we will refund the unused part of the current period. Continuing to use the Platform after the effective date means you accept the revised Terms.

Non-material changes — such as corrections of typographical errors or clarifications that do not alter your rights or obligations — may be made without notice, and take effect from the date of publication.

15. Governing law and disputes

Consumers. If you are a Consumer living in the EU or EEA, you also have the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in the courts of that country as well as in Ireland. We may only bring a claim against you in the courts of the country where you live.

Talk to us first. Most problems can be sorted out quickly. Email contact@intellect.education and we will reply within five business days. Formal legal notices go to the same address.

Consumer complaints. Consumers in Ireland can get free advice from the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission at ccpc.ie. Consumers elsewhere in the EU can contact ECC Ireland at eccireland.ie for cross-border disputes.
