Terms of Service
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the CLIL Notebook web application (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Who we are
“CLIL Notebook”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to the operator of the CLIL Notebook platform. The Service is provided to educators and related users for lesson planning, resource management, and AI-assisted educational content creation.
2. Description of the Service
CLIL Notebook provides tools including, without limitation:
- Lesson creation, editing, saving, and organisation
- Resource capture (URLs, uploads, notes) and a personal resource library
- Class profiles and activity-type preferences
- AI-assisted generation, chat, translation, and related language tools
- Sharing of lessons and resources with other users by email invitation
- Optional browser extension integration (subject to separate extension terms and privacy policy)
- Accessibility features such as text-to-speech and speech-to-text where supported by your browser
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to use the Service, or use it under supervision of a school or organisation that has accepted these Terms on your behalf. The Service is intended for professional educational use. You represent that you have authority to enter into these Terms and, where applicable, that your use complies with your employer’s or school’s policies.
4. Account registration and security
You sign in using Google authentication via Firebase. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Google account and for all activity under your CLIL Notebook account. Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or pose a security risk.
5. User content
5.1 Your content
“User content” means lessons, resources, prompts, class settings, custom activities, and other material you submit or generate through the Service. You retain ownership of your User content, subject to the licence below.
5.2 Licence you grant us
You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, process, display, and transmit your User content solely to operate, provide, improve, and secure the Service — including sending relevant portions to AI providers when you use generation features, and delivering shared content to recipients you designate.
5.3 Your responsibilities
You agree that your User content and use of the Service will not:
- Violate any applicable law or third-party rights (including copyright, privacy, and data protection)
- Include unlawful, harmful, harassing, defamatory, or discriminatory material
- Contain unnecessary personal data about pupils or minors without proper authority and safeguards
- Introduce malware, attempt unauthorised access, or interfere with the Service
- Scrape, reverse engineer, or overload the Service except as permitted by law
- Misrepresent AI-generated content as human-authored official assessment without appropriate disclosure where required
You are solely responsible for reviewing all AI-generated output before use in teaching, publication, or assessment.
6. AI-generated content
The Service uses artificial intelligence to suggest and generate text. AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or inappropriate. We provide AI features “as is” without warranty as to correctness, curriculum alignment, safety, or suitability for any particular class or jurisdiction. You must exercise professional judgment and comply with school policies and safeguarding requirements.
7. Sharing with other users
When you share lessons or resources, you instruct us to make copies available to the recipient email you provide. You represent that you have the right to share that content and that the recipient is appropriate (e.g. a colleague). We are not responsible for how recipients use shared content after delivery.
8. Intellectual property of the Service
The Service, including its software, design, branding, default activity templates, and documentation (excluding your User content), is owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of the Service except as expressly permitted or required for normal use.
9. Third-party services
The Service integrates with third parties such as Google (authentication, Firebase), OpenAI (AI), and content sources you choose to save (websites, video platforms, etc.). Your use of those services may be subject to their separate terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party websites or services.
The CLIL Notebook Capture Chrome extension is governed by the Extension Privacy Policy and applicable Chrome Web Store policies in addition to these Terms where relevant.
10. Privacy
Our collection and use of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
11. Fees
If the Service is offered free of charge, we may introduce paid features in the future with notice. Any paid terms will be presented at the time of purchase. Taxes may apply where required by law.
12. Disclaimer of warranties
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY OF AI OUTPUT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.
13. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND SUPPLIERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR TEACHING OPPORTUNITY, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR AI-GENERATED CONTENT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED EUROS (€100), OR THE MINIMUM AMOUNT PERMITTED BY LAW IN YOUR JURISDICTION.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
14. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless CLIL Notebook and its operators from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your User content, your use of the Service, violation of these Terms, or violation of any rights of another person or entity, except to the extent caused by our gross negligence or wilful misconduct.
15. Suspension and termination
We may suspend or terminate your access at any time for violation of these Terms, risk to the Service or other users, or extended inactivity. You may stop using the Service at any time. Provisions that by nature should survive (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnity) will survive termination.
16. Export and acceptable use
You may not use the Service in violation of export control or sanctions laws. You may not use the Service to develop competing models or datasets through systematic extraction of AI outputs, except where permitted by law or our written consent.
17. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and update the “Last updated” date. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice through the Service. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.
18. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the operator of CLIL Notebook is established, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory consumer protection laws in your country require otherwise.
Disputes should first be raised with us via the contact details below. Where permitted by law, courts in the operator’s jurisdiction shall have exclusive jurisdiction, unless you are a consumer entitled to bring proceedings in your home country.
19. General
- Entire agreement — These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement regarding the Service.
- Severability — If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect.
- No waiver — Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
- Assignment — We may assign these Terms; you may not assign without our consent.
