USER LICENCE
Please read this Agreement carefully as it governs your use of Learnthings' content via the LNI (Learning Northern Ireland software) ("the Content"). By accessing the Content you are agreeing on behalf of your school to the terms that appear below. If you do not agree with these terms please contact us at customerservices@learnthings.co.uk.



1. Provision of Content
1.1 The Content is owned (or used under licence) by Learnthings Ltd (company number 03410213), whose registered office is at 164 Deansgate, Manchester M60 2RR ("Learnthings"). You will receive access to the Content for the term of the Licence ("Licence Period").
1.2 You will be allocated access to the Content using a user name and password ("ID"). You are responsible for all use of the Content and anyone else using your ID and for preventing unauthorised use of your ID. You must ensure that your Users comply with the terms of this Agreement and any reasonable user terms made available within the Content.
1.3 If you believe there has been any breach of security such as the disclosure, theft or unauthorised use of your ID, you must notify Learnthings immediately by emailing customerservices@learnthings.co.uk.
1.4 If Learnthings reasonably believes that your ID is being used in any way which is not permitted by this Agreement, Learnthings reserves the right to request that your access rights are cancelled.
   
2 Limited Rights to Use Content
2.1 All Content belongs to Learnthings or its licensors. Subject to clause 2.2, your Users may retrieve and display the Content on a computer screen, print individual pages on paper, use the Content for lesson planning (or related activities within Learning Northern Ireland) and store the Content in electronic form on disk and on your internal server (but not on any other server or other storage device connected to an external network unless Learnthings has agreed with your LEA to do this) for your internal educational non-commercial purposes.
2.2 Most of the Content is owned by Learnthings but certain content is used under licence from third parties ("Third Party Content") and will be marked with the copyright notice of those third parties. Some of the Third Party Content will be subject to additional restrictions - the relevant copyright notice will make it clear where that is the case. You are responsible for ensuring that you comply with such restrictions.
2.3 Except as set out in this clause 2, you may not (without prior written permission from Learnthings):
2.3.1 redistribute any of Content (including by using it as part of any library, archive or similar service);
2.3.2 remove the copyright or trade mark notice from any copies of Content made under this Agreement;
2.3.3 create a database in electronic or structured manual form by systematically downloading and storing all or any of the Content;
2.3.4 except as expressly set out above, modify, reproduce or in any way commercially exploit any of the Content.
2.4 You acknowledge that "Learnpremium", "Guardian", and "Learnthings" are trade marks and that you may not use them without written permission.
2.5 On termination of this Agreement, your licence to use the Content terminates and you must remove all copies from your system and confirm at Learnthings' request that no copies of Content have been retained by you.
   
3 Warranties
3.1 Learnthings will use its reasonable skill in making the Content available to you. However, because of the number of sources from which Learnthings obtains the Content and because of the nature of computer software and hardware, errors and omissions occur and Learnthings does not give any warranties in respect of the Content. In particular, you should not take the accuracy of the information for granted and Learnthings makes no warranty that the Content is free from infection by viruses or anything else that has contaminating or destructive properties. All implied warranties are excluded from this Agreement to the extent that they may be excluded as a matter of law.
   
4 Limitation of Liability
4.1 Learnthings will use its reasonable endeavours to resolve faults in the Content during the Licence Period but because the service is free to Users you agree that Learnthings will not be liable for any losses you may incur as a result of your use or non-use of that Content.
4.2 Learnthings will not be liable for any consequential or incidental damages (including without limitation, damages for loss of use or profits) arising in contract, tort or otherwise from your (or your Users') use or inability to use the Content or from any action taken (or refrained from being taken) as a result of using the Content.
4.3 Notwithstanding the above provisions of this clause 4, Learnthings' liability will not be limited in the case of death or personal injury directly caused by Learnthings' negligence.
   
5 Changes
5.1 Learnthings is continually seeking to improve the Content. Learnthings reserves the right, at its discretion, to make changes to any part of the Content (including the addition of digital rights management tools) provided that it does not materially reduce the content or functionality of the relevant service. You will implement such changes as soon as reasonable following the request of Learnthings or its nominated agent.
   
6 Links
6.1 The Content contains links to other web sites and resources, either directly or through frames and, where possible, Learnthings will make clear where such links are being made. Independent third parties provide these sites and Learnthings is not responsible and shall not be liable for the availability or content of these outside resources.
   
7 General
7.1 Learnthings may terminate this Agreement if you are in default and in such you will not be entitled to the refund of any fees you may have paid. If Learnthings terminates this Agreement because it discontinues the Content, you are entitled to a refund of that part of any fee which relates to the unexpired period of this Agreement.
7.2 You may not assign, sub-licence or otherwise transfer this Agreement or your rights of access to the Content.
7.3 If any provision of this Agreement 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 this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
7.4 Failure by either party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of that right or remedy.
7.5 A person who is not party to this Agreement shall have no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any of its terms.
7.6 This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law. The parties 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 this Agreement or the legal relationship established by it, and for those purposes irrevocably submit all disputes to the jurisdiction of the English courts.
