4.1 LearnWorlds provides a subscription online content-creation Platform designed to allow content creators and/or trainers (“School Owner”) to build, design, publish, share and/or sell courses, coaching offerings and other services to their end-users (“End-Users”).

LearnWorlds does not provide, sell, rent, release, disclose, or otherwise transfer End-users data to School Owners for monetary or other valuable consideration. End-users assume full responsibility for the disclosure and use of any personal information they choose to disclose to any School Owner on the Platform.

5.3 We may from time to time make changes in Our Platform:

  • Minor changes may be required to make underlying technical alterations, for example, to fix an error or to address a security issue. We will inform you either by email, an in-app announcement and/or a blogpost here: https://whatsnew.learnworlds.com/en of any such changes (including, if applicable, anything that you need to do), however they will be unlikely to materially adverse affect your use of Our Platform or the availability of your Online School (s);
  • Minor changes may be made to reflect changes in the law or other regulatory requirements. We will inform you by email and/or an in-app announcement of any such changes (including, if applicable, anything that you need to do), however they will be unlikely to materially affect your use of Our Platform or the availability of your Online School(s); and
  • As detailed in https://www.learnworlds.com/plans/, We will continue to develop and improve Our Platform over time, in some cases making significant changes to it. You will be kept fully informed of any and all such changes.

 

5.4 We will always aim to ensure that Our Platform and your Online School(s) are available at all times. In certain limited cases, however, We may need to temporarily suspend availability to make certain changes outlined under sub-Clause 5.2. Unless We are responding to an emergency or an urgent issue, We will inform you in advance of any interruptions to availability.

6.1 We make all reasonable efforts to ensure that all descriptions of the services and products available from Us as stated on Our Website (specifically, Our Platform, providing creation and editing tools, and hosting for Online Schools) correspond to the actual services that will be provided and/or made available to you. There may, however, be minor variations in the descriptions, from time to time, due to active Platform development, bug fixes and constant addition of new features.

 

6.2 Please note that sub-Clause 6.1 does not exclude Our responsibility for mistakes due to wilful misconduct or gross negligence on Our part and refers only to minor variations in Our services, not to different services altogether.

6.4 We may from time to time change Our prices. Changes in price will not affect any current Subscription that you have already purchased but may apply to any subsequent renewal or new Subscription.

6.8 If the price of a Subscription that you have ordered changes between your order being placed and Us processing that order and taking payment, you will be charged the price shown on Our Site at the time of placing your order.

 

6.9 All our prices do not include VAT. If you are a Business based in the EU with a valid EU VAT number then you will not be charged VAT. If you are a consumer or non-EU VAT registered business based in the EU then the respective VAT rate will apply. If you are a Business based in the UK with a valid UK VAT number then you will not be charged VAT. If you are a consumer or non-UK VAT registered business based in the UK then the respective VAT rate will apply. If the VAT rate changes between your order being placed and Us taking payment, the amount of VAT payable will be automatically adjusted when taking payment.
