L01: Parent Programme and App Terms

1. Your agreement

These terms are between you, the adult account holder, and Example Co ("RTL", "we", "us"). Our company number is [Company number to be confirmed], registered in [Registration jurisdiction to be confirmed]. Our registered office is [Registered office to be confirmed]. You can contact us through https://rtlclubs.vercel.app/contact, at help@rtlclubs.com, or by post at [Correspondence address to be confirmed].

We supply the programme and app access described in your order. Your independent tuition provider supplies any paid lessons under a separate contract. You do not need a tuition contract to teach your own children at home. A school or club may fund your programme access; accepting these account terms does not itself require you to buy a duplicate subscription.

2. What forms the contract

Your order identifies the programme, covered learners, payer, billing period, total price including applicable taxes, renewal arrangement and start date. These terms incorporate L10 and G01, G04, G06, G07 and G08 in the exact versions listed with your acceptance. The order governs its specific commercial details, followed by L01, L10 and the incorporated governance. An order cannot remove the sibling pricing rule in L10 or your mandatory rights. Privacy and Cookie Policies explain data use separately; accepting these terms is not consent to every use of information.

3. Your household and programme

You must have authority to manage the learners you add. Give accurate information, keep your login private and tell us if someone gains unauthorised access or your authority changes. Do not share an adult login with a child. Use the child access arrangements provided for the learner. We may ask for proportionate evidence where access or authority is disputed and restrict disputed access while considering it.

Each programme has its own subscription and base price. Within that programme the first child is full price and each additional sibling is half that programme's base price. Discounts do not transfer between programmes. Each child has their own learner identity, assigned books, level and progress. Children may use different books; normal progression within their subscribed programme does not require a new book purchase.

4. Your permission to use materials

During your entitlement we grant you a personal, non-exclusive permission to use the programme and app for household learning. You may print entitled materials for your own household children. Printing does not create extra personalised learner profiles. There is no one-book-per-household restriction. Do not distribute materials outside your household, sell copies, publish them online, sublicense them or use this household permission to run paid or public teaching.

Programme, brand and software rights belong to RTL or its licensors. We do not claim ownership of children's work, your independent materials or personal data. You give us permission to store, display and process content you submit only as needed to supply the agreed service and lawful related administration. Do not submit another person's protected content without permission. Do not scrape restricted content, bypass access controls, share credentials or upload protected programme materials to external AI services without permission, subject to rights that the law does not allow us to restrict.

5. Learning and local tuition

You supervise household use and choose a suitable learning environment. We do not guarantee a particular grade, examination outcome or pace of progress. Your tuition provider is responsible for its tutors, lawful checks, supervision and premises. RTL does not perform criminal-record checks or certify tutor suitability. This does not reduce our responsibility for our own services, statements or handling of information.

6. Our service and changes

We will supply the agreed digital content and services with the standards required by law, including reasonable care and skill for services. Tell us through Help if something is faulty. We will address applicable repair, replacement, repeat-performance, price-reduction or refund rights. We may make proportionate maintenance, security and compatibility changes and notify you of material effects. We will not remove a substantial paid feature during your paid period without a fair remedy where required. Technical requirements and relevant functionality or compatibility limits must be shown before purchase.

7. Cancellation and restrictions

L10 explains cancelling renewal, your cooling-off rights and refunds. Deleting the app or leaving a club does not itself cancel a subscription. G07 governs restrictions for conduct or misuse. We will distinguish those restrictions from payment status and preserve Help, relevant billing information and review contact. Another person's removal does not automatically end your independent subscription. G08 explains the separate treatment of learner records.

8. Responsibility if something goes wrong

We are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach or failure to use reasonable care and skill. We do not exclude liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or any liability the law does not permit us to limit. The household service is for private use; we do not accept responsibility for business losses arising from using it commercially. This does not remove your consumer remedies or excuse our own wrongdoing. You do not give us a general indemnity.

9. Changes to these terms

We may propose changes for identified legal, security or service reasons. We will explain material changes and their effective date on a durable notice with reasonable advance notice appropriate to the change. Where fresh agreement is required, we will obtain it. Changes do not rewrite an accepted version or retrospectively remove accrued rights. If a material change disadvantages you, you may end the affected service before it takes effect, with an appropriate refund for unused prepaid service where required. An urgent protective restriction follows G07, not an unrestricted power to rewrite the contract.

10. Contact and disputes

Use G06 or help@rtlclubs.com for concerns. You may contact regulators or courts without completing our complaint process. Proposed governing law is England and Wales. If you are a consumer elsewhere, you retain mandatory protections and court rights available under applicable law. An unenforceable clause does not invalidate the remaining terms. No person outside this agreement acquires enforcement rights under it. We may transfer this contract only without reducing your rights, notifying you and obtaining consent where legally necessary. Changing to a different supplier is not achieved merely by editing its name.

L10: Programme Subscription, Cancellation and Refund Schedule

1. Your purchase information

RTL service supplier: Example Co, [Company number to be confirmed], [Registered office to be confirmed]. Before payment show programme, child allowance, actual payer, learner beneficiaries, base price, total price including taxes, currency, billing period, start/renewal date, any trial and its conversion price, minimum term if any, seller/merchant and collecting provider, cancellation route, technical requirements and applicable terms versions. Complete those particulars in the order; this schedule sets no cash prices. A payment button must clearly identify an obligation to pay. Free account acceptance alone is not a paid order.

2. Programme-specific siblings

Each programme is charged separately at its own base price P. Within that programme one child costs P, two cost 1.5P, three cost 2P, and n children cost P * (1 + 0.5 * (n - 1)). Here n is the positive whole number of covered siblings. No discount transfers across programmes. Two children in English cost 1.5 times the English base price. Maths for one of them adds the full Maths base price; adding the second to Maths changes only Maths to 1.5 times its own base price. No maximum household size or storefront rounding is set by this draft; the offered total must match approved pricing before sale.

Each learner retains their own identity and progress and may have different books. Normal progression does not require a new book purchase. Household printing of entitled materials is allowed under L01 and is separate from personalised profile entitlement.

3. Renewal and changes

Only programmes identified in the order renew, at the dates and prices disclosed. Programmes can have separate renewal dates. Adding a sibling changes the relevant programme plan; show the resulting charge, any supported adjustment and effective date before confirmation. Do not silently add another programme. A downgrade must explain which learners retain paid access and when, without deleting their records. Any future price change must meet notice, consent and cancellation requirements applicable to the purchase route. No trial, pause or promotion exists unless expressly offered.

4. Cancelling future renewal

Cancel Apple subscriptions using your Apple subscription settings; cancel Google Play subscriptions in Google Play's subscriptions area. For a direct purchase use [VERIFIED DIRECT CANCELLATION ROUTE] or contact help@rtlclubs.com with a clear cancellation request. Purchase-specific links must be supplied with the order and Help. Cancellation of future renewal normally leaves access until the paid period ends, unless a refund, lawful restriction or other disclosed change affects it. Deleting the app, leaving tuition or removing a tutor is not cancellation. You may cancel one programme without cancelling another. We must not create unnecessary obstacles to cancellation.

5. Cooling-off and early supply

For a UK distance contract where the statutory right applies, you may cancel within 14 days after the contract is made, without giving a reason, by a clear statement to the identified trader. We provide cancellation information and a durable contract confirmation. Missing statutory information can extend rights. Applicable consumer rights are preserved for all payment routes.

For paid digital content supplied during that period, loss of the cancellation right requires your prior express consent to immediate supply and acknowledgement that the right will be lost, with the required confirmation. Merely opening an account does not do this. For services starting early at your express request, a lawful proportionate amount may be payable for service supplied before cancellation if the statutory conditions are met; loss of the right on full performance requires the required acknowledgement. Starting a continuing subscription is not full performance of it. Classify content and services before selecting the separate wording in the acceptance specification. If early-supply permission is declined, offer commencement after the applicable cooling-off period rather than assuming consent.

Where statutory cancellation requires a refund, we make it without undue delay and within the applicable legal deadline, ordinarily 14 days after notice for these contracts, through the original means unless you expressly agree otherwise and incur no fee. Store processing does not remove mandatory remedies owed by the relevant trader.

6. Faults and withdrawal of RTL access

Statutory remedies for faulty or misdescribed content or services remain available. When RTL finally withdraws a paid RTL service, we will identify the payer, affected service and unused prepaid period, and seek return of the corresponding unused payment through the collecting provider's supported process. Where that route cannot deliver a remedy we owe, we will address an alternative lawful payment solution with the payer; a store refusal does not itself settle our obligations. We do not label a refund confirmed until payment-provider evidence supports that status. Account credit is not automatically a money refund.

Apple's ordinary route is a refund request for Apple's decision. RTL cannot guarantee Apple's approval or a specific prorated amount. Google Play provides supported refund and revocation mechanisms, but the applicable transaction and integration must support the requested action. Contact help@rtlclubs.com if the available route does not resolve a remedy. We do not promise an automatic administrator-initiated store refund.

Temporary restriction does not by itself determine compensation. Mandatory rights continue; other compensation will be assessed against the affected service and circumstances pending an approved published policy. A refund is distinct from cancelling renewal and ending access. We will identify each action separately. Conduct restrictions do not become non-payment records and are not removed by paying again or restoring a purchase.

7. Independent tuition and history

Tuition refunds are handled by the tuition supplier for fees it collected or was paid on its behalf. RTL does not undertake to refund those fees, without limiting liability for its own acts. A tutor's removal does not automatically cancel unaffected parent subscriptions. After entitlement ends, G08 governs any limited history service; it is not a promise of future paid content or lifetime access.

8. Optional cancellation form

To: Example Co, [Correspondence address to be confirmed], help@rtlclubs.com. "I give notice that I cancel my contract for [programme/service], ordered on [date]. Account/order reference: [reference]. Name and address: [details]. Date: [date]." Add a signature only if sending on paper. You can use any other clear statement; use the relevant store route as well to stop store renewal, with RTL assistance where needed.

G01: Network Standards and Responsibility Charter

1. Responsibilities

Example Co supplies its agreed programme licences and software. Independent teaching providers supply tuition and run their own sessions, staff and premises. Permission to use RTL programmes is not certification of a provider, tutor or venue. RTL remains responsible for its own products, representations and data duties.

2. Provider identity and lawful operation

Operators must show parents their actual legal supplier, contacts and any separate venue host or collection agent before enrolment. Keep organisation and all location records current. Schools follow the same operator terms. Providers must satisfy applicable local laws and maintain insurance required by law and their agreed schedule. Overseas providers must assess local rules; UK registration and DBS terminology must not be presented as universal requirements.

3. Honest representation and licensed use

Operators, tutors and partners must state their actual role and authority, use licensed materials and approved branding within their permissions, and make truthful claims. Do not promise guaranteed outcomes, unsupported verification or authority to bind RTL. Parents must use household materials within L01. Users retain ownership and rights in their independent work and personal information as applicable; programme rights remain with RTL or its licensors.

4. Cooperation and standards

Provide necessary, proportionate information about compliance with your licence and report material changes affecting lawful access. Providers retain local checks and operational evidence. Do not routinely send criminal-record documents to RTL. RTL may decide access and licensing consequences under G07; that does not transfer management of tuition to RTL.

5. Fair treatment and hierarchy

Everyone must respect others' dignity, privacy and lawful rights. Good-faith complaints, lawful criticism and whistleblowing are protected. The accepted role terms and applicable commercial/data schedules determine obligations and take precedence as stated there; governance does not create undisclosed prices. Local rules may add practical arrangements but cannot remove statutory rights or weaken incorporated standards. G06 covers reporting, G07 restrictions and G08 exit. Only the modules listed with a person's role acceptance bind that person contractually.

G04: Parent and Learner Conduct Code

1. Working together

Parents, tutors and RTL staff should speak respectfully and listen to concerns. Parents must not threaten, harass or abuse other families, tutors or staff. Tutors and providers owe the same respect to parents and children. You may complain, disagree, leave a lawful review or report a concern in good faith.

2. Helping your child participate

Give your provider necessary attendance, collection and emergency information and tell it about relevant changes. Agree reasonable adjustments and any support your child needs. Follow the provider's lawful collection and session arrangements, supplied with its tuition terms. These local duties do not make RTL responsible for running sessions. Do not share another child's image or private information without lawful permission.

3. For learners

Be kind. Give others a chance to learn. Use materials and devices carefully. Tell a trusted adult if you feel worried, hurt or left out. You can ask for help and take a break as agreed with the adult looking after the session. Adults should explain expectations in a way you understand and help you follow them.

4. When something goes wrong

Providers must consider age, disability, additional needs and the circumstances before responding to behaviour. No humiliating punishment or automatic exclusion because of a disability is allowed. Immediate protective action may be needed for a safety concern, followed by a fair assessment and reasonable adjustments. G06 explains concerns and G07 covers RTL access decisions. Children do not personally accept adult contractual liability through this code.

G06: Complaints, Reporting and Whistleblowing Policy

1. Where to raise a concern

For RTL programme, account or billing concerns use website or in-app Help at https://rtlclubs.vercel.app/contact and its contact form. Select "Programme or app", "Billing", "Tuition provider" or "Concern about a child or tutor". If the form is unavailable or unsuitable, email help@rtlclubs.com or write to [Correspondence address to be confirmed]. Sensitive concerns use help@rtlclubs.com. These routes and their accessibility must be verified before publication. Help is not an emergency service and no round-the-clock monitoring is promised.

For tuition, the named provider's contact is in your tuition agreement. You may report directly to RTL without first confronting a provider or tutor. In immediate danger in the UK call 999; overseas use the local emergency number. Contact appropriate local child-protection services or police where needed. Do not wait for an RTL reply or internal review before making a necessary external report.

2. What happens to a report

Give enough information to identify the concern and affected service, including dates where known. Do not send unnecessary criminal-record or medical documents. RTL will route reports to people who need them, distinguish local tuition matters from its own service and network-access decisions, and consider conflicts of interest. Local providers and competent authorities handle local safeguarding duties. RTL remains responsible for duties applicable to its own actions and data.

RTL will assess available information, preserve relevant evidence, request clarification where appropriate and explain the next step so far as safe and lawful. Anonymous reports may be considered, although missing information can limit action. Confidentiality will be respected but absolute secrecy cannot be promised where protection or legal duties require disclosure. No response deadline is invented here; publish realistic contact arrangements when resourcing is confirmed.

3. Fairness and review

RTL will distinguish allegations, established facts and network judgements. Where a concern may justify restriction, G07 applies. The person concerned should normally receive sufficient information to respond, with protective redactions or delayed disclosure where necessary. Complainants may ask for review of complaint handling through help@rtlclubs.com, without entitlement to another person's confidential records. An available person uninvolved in the original decision should review conflicts and material issues.

4. Protection for reporting

Good-faith complaints, whistleblowing, lawful criticism and reports to regulators or police are not prohibited by confidentiality or brand clauses. No retaliation is permitted. Failure to substantiate a report does not make it malicious. A finding of intentional fabrication requires evidence and fair consideration. Anyone may seek legal advice or use available external remedies without completing this procedure. Store sensitive reports separately with restricted access and lawful retention.

G07: Network Access Restrictions, Removal and Review Policy

1. Purpose and grounds

RTL may restrict its software, programme licences and brand permissions to address an identified material breach, unlawful use, unauthorised data access or serious credible concern about continued professional access. It acts on its own services and permissions, not as an authority closing independent tuition businesses or deciding criminal guilt. A complaint count alone is not a removal rule.

2. Temporary protection

An authorised decision maker may impose immediate temporary restrictions where a serious credible concern creates a risk that cannot reasonably wait. Record the information considered, credibility and severity, affected permissions, why a lesser measure is insufficient, decision maker, time and review trigger. Consider urgency, corroboration and possible mistaken identity; do not require final proof before a necessary temporary protective step. Revisit restrictions as relevant information arrives and avoid open-ended suspension without active review.

3. Response and permanent decisions

Give reasons and sufficient relevant information for a response where safe and lawful. Explain withheld information in general terms when possible. Consider the response and material exculpatory information. Proposed permanent-removal criteria, subject to management approval before activation: substantiated serious misconduct or material licence/data misuse; a material remediable breach not corrected after reasonable warning; or a documented continuing serious risk for which proportionate lesser restrictions cannot adequately protect users or lawful service operation. Repeated substantiated breaches may be relevant; duplicate reports are not separate incidents. No one-complaint or three-complaint automatic threshold applies.

Document the grounds, evidence assessment, alternatives, scope and reasons. Distinguish the contractual access judgement from allegations of criminal conduct. Do not publish allegations as proved facts. A lawful report or critical review is not itself a ground for removal.

4. Scope and accounts

Removing a tutor means all professional access across the RTL network. Do not allow re-entry through another club or role while that restriction remains. Preserve independently justified parent access unless a separate decision explains why it too must be restricted. Organisation restrictions must identify the organisation and affected users rather than treating every parent as culpable. Keep Help, review contact and appropriate billing information available through a usable route.

Conduct state is separate from paid/unpaid state. Record payments accurately. A renewal, repayment or purchase restoration cannot clear a conduct restriction. Restrict only permissions justified by the decision and protect evidence and lawful learner records. Do not implement unexplained blank screens as an enforcement notice.

5. Review

The affected person may ask help@rtlclubs.com for review, explaining any error, new evidence or disproportionate effect. Provide the request route with the decision. An available reviewer uninvolved in the original decision should reassess relevant grounds and conflicts; arrange suitable independent input if no such internal person is available. Do not invent a staffed appeals panel or fixed turnaround. A late request with a reasonable explanation should still be considered. Give the outcome and reasons where safe. Restrictions may continue during review where justified, but must be reconsidered if the risk changes. External referrals do not wait for review.

6. Money and restoration

Identify the actual payer and affected service. Ending access, cancelling renewal and requesting/refunding payment are separate actions under L10. No tuition refund is promised for money RTL did not collect. Do not automatically cancel unaffected parent subscriptions. Temporary compensation remains a business decision subject to mandatory rights. Restore professional access only after an authorised documented decision that the relevant grounds have been resolved; a payment event is insufficient. Follow G08 for continuity and evidence.

G08: Learner History and Provider Exit Policy

1. Learner continuity

When a tutor leaves, the provider must remove their assignment access and arrange authorised handover. When a provider exits, stop new licensed activity and branded representation, identify affected families and explain the actual change. Do not promise replacement tuition or silently move learners to another provider. Transfer only with appropriate authority, lawful basis and permissions. Keep child-protection files separate from ordinary learning history.

2. Records and completed work

Do not erase original learner records, falsify progress or withhold records to pressure a payer. Parents and learners may retain lawfully obtained completed work and reports. Ending a licence stops future restricted programme use and commercial copying; it does not claim ownership of a child's work. Departing staff return or securely deal with working copies under applicable lawful instructions, without deleting records held for legitimate continuity or legal duties.

3. History after cancellation

After paid entitlement ends, RTL may make a limited history view available while it continues that service. This is not lifetime access, access to new paid content or a guarantee that every feature remains available. Proposed objective reasons to change or withdraw that view are discontinuation of the history service, a necessary security or legal change, loss of a lawful basis for the relevant access, or inability to maintain the relevant system safely. Mere preference to erase inconvenient records is not a reason.

Before activation approve and disclose [HISTORY AVAILABILITY SCOPE], [NOTICE PERIOD] and [PRACTICAL EXPORT OR COPY ROUTE]. Give advance notice appropriate to the impact and a reasonable opportunity to obtain available records before planned withdrawal. Where law or urgent security prevents advance notice, explain as soon as lawful and safe and provide an appropriate alternative rights route. Do not silently replace an existing permanent-record commitment with this clause; assess existing contracts and rights first.

4. Retention and rights

History display, legal retention and data-subject rights are different. Closing paid access does not itself authorise deletion, and retaining data does not promise continuing app access. L09 and the approved retention schedule govern lawful retention, holds, correction and deletion. Requests may continue through help@rtlclubs.com subject to identity and authority checks. Preserve only data justified by the purpose and law; no indefinite blanket retention is authorised.

5. Exit account treatment

An access decision must identify professional roles, affected organisations, legitimate parent access and the payer. Partner departure does not end independent club contracts or confer rights to learner records. G07 governs network restrictions; L10 governs RTL payment remedies; the separate tuition contract governs tuition consequences. Record handover decisions, authority, access removal, notices and outstanding issues without unnecessary sensitive duplication.
