4. Use of the App
4.1 Learning content and method
The App is an educational service intended as a supplement to traditional school lessons. Its content is professionally designed to cover the entire curriculum for each subject in its particular year. The App uses a pedagogy which explains every concept, lets you test your understanding and practice, and encourages you to apply the learnings in related games. It provides the facility for taking notes and referencing additional learning materials. The App also tracks your performance at every stage and updates your scores. Points are awarded for engagement and efficiency as well as for correctness and game success.
We do our professional best to ensure that all information provided within the App is accurate and reliable; however we cannot guarantee that all information is accurate.
The contents of the App or Services are developed on the concepts covered in the structured curriculum syllabus prescribed for students of various courses.

5. Registration and enrollment
In order to use the free first Lesson of the App or Services you must register and open a user account. You can do this by providing the required information in the registration section of the App.
We will ask you to accept these Terms & Conditions and our Privacy Policy during the registration process.
In order to access the full curriculum beyond the free first Lesson, you must make an in-app purchase via the Play Store or relevant app store and then complete the enrollment process.
There is a 2-step verification process to prevent misuse. If you have registered or enrolled using your phone number you will receive an SMS with a One Time Pin (OTP) which is a verification code which you must enter in the appropriate place in the App to complete registration or enrollment.
You represent and warrant that the registration or enrollment and related information you provide is accurate and will be kept up-to-date.
You are responsible for safeguarding your password. You agree that you will not disclose your password to any third party.
When registering or enrolling via the App, the formation of the user contract depends on the rules of the app store supplier. The contract is generally formed when you click on the “Install” or “purchase” field in the relevant app store and, where necessary, enter your password for the app store in question. Please note that in order to use the App it is still necessary to open a user account (register or enroll) with us that is unrelated to the respective app store.
The user contract concluded between you and us is valid for an indefinite period.

- Advertisements
The Services may from time to time include commercial information or advertisements (“Ads”).
