1. Introduction
This Agreement is a legal document which sets out your rights and obligations, and those of www.snowytopmaths.co.uk. The SnowyTop Maths Service includes all versions of "SnowyTop Maths". You must take the time to read and understand this Agreement before registering for the Service. By registering, you accept that you are entering into a contract with us on the terms of this Agreement. Visitors to the Service who do not register to become a User (see 2 below) similarly affirm that they are bound by this Agreement each time they access the Service. You should be aware that this Agreement may change from time to time in accordance with Clause 21 below. Important: You must ensure that the email address we hold for you is kept up-to-date and that you have full access to it - we will be sending you important messages there.
2. Registration and Types of Membership
To use many features of the SnowyTop Maths Service, we require you to register with us. If you create a school registration on the SnowyTop Maths Service, you become a ‘User’. In becoming a User you warrant that: (i) you are of legal age to form a binding contract (or, if you are a minor, you have your parent's permission to use the Services, and your parent has read and agrees to this Agreement on your behalf); (ii) all registration information you submit is accurate and truthful; (iii) you will maintain the accuracy of such information; (iv) if you are accepting this Agreement on behalf of an institution, company or other legal entity, you have the authority to bind that institution, company or legal entity to this Agreement. You also certify that you are legally permitted to use and access the Services and take full responsibility for the selection and use of and access to the SnowyTop Maths Service. This Agreement is void where prohibited by law, and the right to access the SnowyTop Maths Service is revoked in such jurisdictions. As a User, you also warrant that you will only grant access codes to teachers and staff members who are current employees of your school or district. Upon termination of a teacher or other staff member's employment with you, you will require such individual to return and cease using all access codes he or she has in his or her possession. If at any time you learn a user of the SnowyTop Maths Service claims to be affiliated with your school or district who is not, in fact, affiliated with your school or district, you will notify SnowyTop Maths immediately. You must not choose a username or institution name that could potentially infringe anyone's rights, which is intended to confuse, or which is offensive, hurtful or otherwise inappropriate, as reasonably determined by us. We may change a username if we think it offends this Agreement. If you are accessing the SnowyTop Maths Service as a User on behalf of a school or district that is based in the United States and will enroll Students that are based in the United States, you represent and warrant to us that you have obtained parent’s or guardian’s written consent for the collection of student’s personal information in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act (“COPPA”). This means that before you use the Services, you must obtain advance written consent from all parents or guardians whose children under 13 will be accessing the Services. Alternatively, if you are a teacher and you do not directly obtain such consent, you represent to us that you are using the Services with the express permission of a school or school district that has the appropriate consents. When obtaining Consent, Schools or Districts must provide parents with a copy of our Privacy Policy. In addition, the School or District must consider its obligations under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which gives parents certain rights with respect to their children’s education records. FERPA is administered by the U.S. Department of Education. For general information on FERPA, see http://ptac.ed.gov/. If you are provided with login information for the SnowyTop Maths Service by your teacher, parent, or other bona-fide User, you become a "Student". Students divide between those for whom a subscription fee is paid ("Members"), and non-Members. Members' subscriptions can be obtained and paid-for by a parent or guardian, or by an institution (such as a school) or another enterprise. If an institution (such as a school) or another enterprise is providing your Membership of the SnowyTop Maths Service, note that you may only use your Membership for so long as that institution or enterprise permits you to do so. You can see the benefits of becoming a Member by visiting our Membership page. Parents or guardians can also sign-up to pay for a subscription on the Home page. Note that we are not an internet service provider. In order to avail of the SnowyTop Maths Service, you must have internet access and all the software (and skills) required for email and web usage.
3. Use by Children
SnowyTop Maths collects limited personal information from minor Students, but only where that Student's school, district, and/or teacher has contracted with SnowyTop Maths (by agreeing to these Terms and Conditions) to collect personal information from Students for the use and benefit of the learning environment. SnowyTop Maths requires schools, districts, and/or teachers to obtain parental consent from Students' parents before collecting any such personal information. If you are a Student, please do not send any personal information about yourself to us, other than what we request from you when you sign up for the Services. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a Student without parental consent being obtained by his or her school, district, and/or teacher, or if we learn a Student has provided us personal information beyond what we request when he or she signs up for the Website, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a Student may have provided us personal information beyond what is requested when signing up for the Website, or that a Student's school, district, or teacher has not required parental consent prior to our collection of any personal information, please contact us at [email protected]
4. Privacy policy
SnowyTop Maths's Privacy Policy forms part of this Agreement, and by agreeing to this Agreement, you also give your consent to the way we may handle your personal data as detailed in that policy.

Enterprise Agreement
1. Introduction.
These are the Terms and Conditions that apply to institutions and businesses that agree to obtain multiple Memberships of www.snowytopmaths.co.uk (the "SnowyTop Maths Service"), and, together with the SnowyTop Maths’s Invoice that refers to these Terms and Conditions (the "Invoice"), form the "Agreement".
The Agreement is between the business or institution specified in the Invoice (the "Enterprise" or "you") and Neil Campbell, a company registered in England under registration number ("Neil Campbell", "we" or "us").
The invoice specifies (a) the number of Memberships of the SnowyTop Maths Service that the Enterprise is subscribing for (the "Subscription"), and which are to be provided for the benefit of the Enterprise’s students, users or customers ("End-Users"), (b) the Price of the Subscription fees that are to be paid to us for those Memberships, and (c) the "Term", at the end of which all the Memberships will cease.
The Enterprise must nominate the End-Users who are to be granted Membership, up to the maximum number for which the Subscription fees are paid. If an End-User ceases his/her Membership before the end of the Term, he/she may be replaced as a Member by another End-User nominated by the Enterprise. It is the Enterprise’s responsibility to administer the allocation of Memberships to its End-Users.
The Enterprise must ensure that the email address we hold on behalf of it is kept up-to-date – we will be sending important messages to it. If that email address changes, then you must notify us of the new address in accordance with Clause 16 below.
2. Our User Agreement
Each End-User must agree to our "User Agreement" as a condition of using the SnowyTop Maths Service. If an End-User does not do so, this will not entitle you or the Enterprise to any rebate of the Subscription fees that are paid to us.
An End-User is referred to in the "User Agreement" as (a) a User, and (b) a Member where he or she avails of a Membership of the SnowyTop Maths Service under your Enterprise’s Subscription. "User" and "Member" have the same meanings in this Agreement.
The Enterprise agrees to take responsibility for End-Users' (a) use of the SnowyTop Maths Service, and (b) compliance with the "User Agreement".
3. Benefits of Membership
You can see the benefits of Membership on our home page and about us page.
Note that we are not an internet service provider. In order to avail of the SnowyTop Maths Service, each End-User must have internet access and all the software (and skills) required for email and web usage.
4. Subscriptions
The Subscription permits the number of Memberships for the Term identified in the Invoice. All Memberships will come to an end when that Term ends (irrespective of how long an individual End-User has held that Membership).
The Term runs from the date when we notify you by email that we have made Membership available to End-Users. We will give this notice to you after you pay the relevant Subscription fee, or (if, in our discretion, we are prepared to do so in advance of receiving that fee) following the execution of the PO.
You agree to pay the Price for Subscription before accessing the paid content. We will be entitled to charge interest on any sums owed to us at the rate of three percent per annum above the then-current base rate of HSBC Bank Plc from the date payment becomes due until payment in full.
For the avoidance of doubt, there is no right to cancel the Enterprise’s Subscription during the cooling-off period which is provided for certain purchases under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000.
Please note that we reserve the right to change the amount of the Subscription fee, the period which it covers and the SnowyTop Maths Services that it enables End-Users to obtain. However, these changes will not take effect until the end of the Term.

7. Maximum liability
Without limiting the preceding Clause, the aggregate liability of SnowyTop Maths in connection with this Agreement, whether arising in negligence or otherwise, in any successive twelve-month period (the first such twelve-month period commencing on the date when the Term commences) will not under any circumstances exceed the greater of (a) £50, or (b) the sums that you have actually paid to us by way of Subscription fees in respect of that twelve-month period.
8. Non-excluded Liabilities
Nothing in this Agreement limits our liability for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence, or any other liability which may not by law be excluded. Any statutory rights of consumers remain unaffected.

If the basis changes then, if required by law, we shall notify you of the change and of any new basis under which we have determined that we can continue to process your information.
What personal data will we collect from you because we have a contractual obligation to do so?

verify your identity for security purposes; sell services to you; provide you with our services; or provide you with suggestions and advice on services and how to obtain the most from using our website.
We process this information on the basis there is a contract between us, or that you have requested that we use the information before we enter into a legal contract with you.

Additionally, we may aggregate this information in a general way and use it to provide class information, for example to monitor our performance with respect to a particular service we provide, and to conduct research studies, write non-personalised blog posts or marketing pieces using aggregated non-personally identifiable information. If we use the information for this purpose, you as an individual will not be personally identifiable.
