ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

This website is provided by Worlds For All Ltd, which provides the service subject to the following terms and conditions, which may be updated by us from time to time without notice to you. By using this website and/or applying for an account, you are indicating your acceptance of these terms and conditions.

ADDITIONAL ITEMS

In addition to these terms and conditions, you will also be subject to any guidelines, pricing, or other rules applicable to the service, which are posted on our website from time to time. All such guidelines, pricing, and rules are automatically incorporated by reference into these terms and conditions.

THE SERVICE

The service is subscription-based access to online e-learning courses and additional resources. The service provides the customer with access to all courses and resources available through our website or app. The service is continually changing and is described in more detail on our website.

CREATING AN ACCOUNT

In order to use the service, you must apply via our website for an account or by contacting Worlds For All Ltd directly. If you are applying on behalf of your business, please ensure that you name the correct entity (sole trader, LLP, limited company, school, charity, PLC, etc.) as the customer; the contract will be formed between the named customer and Worlds For All Ltd. You must only apply for an account in the name of a customer with the express authority of that person or entity. A binding contract is formed between Worlds For All Ltd and the customer when we email confirmation of your account. These terms and conditions shall govern the agreement between Worlds For All Ltd and the customer.

We reserve the right, at our discretion, not to accept an application to create an account. This may be for any reason. No charge will be made by us for declined applications.

ACCESSING AND USING YOUR ACCOUNT

Once your account has been created, we will issue you with a username and password. Unless permitted below, the customer may not permit any third party to access or use their account. Customers are not permitted to share accounts. You are encouraged to secure your account with a strong password consisting of letters, numbers, and special characters.

The customer may create additional users within the account on behalf of individuals within their organisation (some subscription packages may have limitations on the number of additional users which can be added—please check our website for details).

If the customer has created a user profile that is no longer needed, it can be reallocated back to your organisation, provided it has never been accessed. If the profile has been used (logged in to), it can be archived but will not be reallocated back to your organisation until the subscription has renewed.

Once a profile has been removed, you shall be entitled to have a copy of your data, including all progress and certification on that profile, before Worlds For All Ltd permanently deletes the profile.

You can upgrade your account to the next subscription level or purchase additional places at the same rate per user at any time by contacting our client services team, and by paying any further applicable fees. The expiry date of any additional places purchased will be in line with your existing monthly or annual subscription.

Whilst your account is active, you and all registered users within your organisation will have access to all courses, additional resources, certificates of completed courses, and reports.

If you purchase a subscription from us online, your account will be opened usually within one working day, and you will receive your login details to access the account along with the paperwork to add additional users (depending upon the subscription size you have purchased).

If you purchase from us directly, your subscription period will commence either from the date you request it to start, or within 12 weeks from the date of invoice.

Please note: once your subscription has expired, no access will be given to any user, including any account administrator, to completed certificates or reports.

YOUR RIGHTS

From our confirmation of the creation of an account, we grant the customer and its authorised personnel a non-transferable, non-exclusive licence to access and use the service in accordance with these terms and conditions for the duration of the account.

CONDITIONS

The above licence is strictly subject to compliance with these terms and conditions by the customer and its authorised personnel. Access to the service may be suspended at any time for reasonable cause.

YOUR OBLIGATIONS

You must:

Only use the service for the customer’s own business purposes.
Only use the service for legal purposes in accordance with honest trade practices.
Use reasonable endeavours to maintain the security of all login details for the account.
Only attempt to access the service using the authorised login details of the customer.
Comply with our reasonable requests and directions as to your use of the service notified to you from time to time.
Take full responsibility for the compliance with these terms and conditions by anyone accessing the service using your account, including your authorised personnel.

Use the service to infringe any third party intellectual property rights.
Infringe, challenge, or dispute our ownership of the intellectual property rights in the service.
Seek to provide the service to any third party in any way not expressly permitted by your account.

SECURITY

The customer is ultimately responsible for administering and safeguarding any login details and passwords created to control access to its account. Please keep any such details secure. Please let us know immediately if you think that there has been any unauthorised attempt to access the service without permission.

FREE TRIALS AND FREE COURSE DEMOS

Free Trials:

No charge for use of the service will be made during any free trial period. If the customer requires more time to trial our service, they may request an extension by contacting our client services team. Any extension will be granted following discussions with someone in our client services or sales teams. We aim to accommodate all requests for extensions, while reserving our right to decline. We may withdraw any free trial services at any time without notice.

Certificates are not available or accessible for any course completed within a free trial.

Course Demos:

No charge for use of the service will be made during any demo access. The customer is entitled to benefit from as many course demos as they wish.

Please note: Customers who sign up for free trials or course demos are giving consent to be sent marketing material from Worlds For All Ltd, and to being added to our marketing mailing lists.

PAYING FOR THE SERVICE

Subscription Fees:

After any free trial period is over, a subscription fee for use of the service is payable monthly or annually in advance by the customer, depending upon the subscription that you choose. The current pricing is advertised on our website, and we may vary this from time to time, but the subscription fee shall apply for the initial subscription period.

How Payments Are Made:

We use a third party to manage our customer subscription transactions for online purchases. Payments are arranged using a direct debit.

Term of Subscription for Online Purchases from Our Website:

We will continue to supply the customer’s subscription and take further payment using the credit or debit card details provided to us or updated by you and/or invoice you every month or year thereafter until your subscription is cancelled and your account is closed. Our third party payment provider will notify you before taking payments in accordance with the prevailing terms and conditions of the Direct Debit scheme.

BILLING AND PAYMENT INFORMATION

The customer must ensure that we have complete and accurate billing and contact information throughout the subscription period, including the full name of the customer, its business address, and a billing contact email address.

If subscription fees become overdue, for example, because the customer’s credit card has expired, we reserve the right to suspend your access to the service until the balance is paid and/or we may close your account permanently without notice. If the service is suspended, the customer must contact Worlds For All Ltd directly to correct the payment error.

Please note: All subscriptions purchased via worldsforall.com are self-managed and will automatically renew unless an administrator of the account has selected the ‘cancel subscription’ button within their admin dashboard.

In the event that an incorrect subscription is purchased, we will pass on the payment processing fee (plus VAT if applicable) charged by our payment provider to the customer, where applicable.

VAT

Prices on our website are quoted in UK pounds sterling and exclude VAT, which is also payable.

Where purchases are agreed through direct contact with the team at Worlds For All Ltd, an invoice will be issued to the customer for the subscription period requested, which must be paid in full before an account is opened, and the service may be accessed.

Towards the end of the subscription period, the customer will be contacted directly by Worlds For All Ltd to discuss the purchase of a further subscription; renewal of your subscription is not automatic in these circumstances.

We reserve the right to review/increase the price of our subscriptions upon renewal in line with the rate of inflation, though we will notify you if that is the case when your renewal comes due.

NON-PAYMENT

In the event that an invoice remains unpaid, commercial interest will be charged on a daily basis at 4% above the prevailing base rate of the Bank of England, at the time the interest is being claimed. In the event of ‘statutory interest’ being higher than 4% over base, the higher rate will prevail.

We shall be under no obligation to provide the service if the subscription fee (plus VAT) is not paid to us on time.

CLOSING AN ACCOUNT

Cancellation by You:

You may close your account, if purchased online, at any time by accessing the service. To cancel a subscription, if you have purchased online from our website, an administrator within your organisation will need to select the ‘cancel subscription’ button within their dashboard panel. A member of the client services team at Worlds For All Ltd will email the administrator within 2 working days to confirm the cancellation of your account, detailing your last day of access, and confirming that no further payments will be taken. No further subscription fees will be billed and no refund will be made of any subscription fees already billed and paid, except at our discretion.

If you cancel your account, the service and your data will remain accessible by you until the subscription period that you have already paid for expires, after which your account will be blocked and your data shall no longer be publicly accessible via the service. We will provide you with a copy of your data on request and securely and permanently delete your data from our systems after 3 years.

If you later decide to re-subscribe to the service, your service will be billed at the subscription fee displayed on the Worlds For All Ltd website (www.worldsforall.com) on the day you restart your subscription.

Suspension and Closure by Us in the Event of a Problem:

If you, or any other user of your account, fails to abide by these terms and conditions, or if the subscription fees are not paid on time, we reserve the right to suspend your access to the service and/or permanently cancel your account. If we withdraw access to the service because these terms and conditions have been breached, no refund will be payable by us.

Non-Fault Closure by Us:

In addition to our other rights under these terms and conditions, we also reserve the right to close any account (including during any free trial period) for any reason by giving one month’s notice and refunding any unused subscription fees on a pro-rata basis.

DISCLAIMER

This section restricts the extent to which we are liable for any losses which may be suffered in connection with your use of the service. It also requires the customer to compensate us for any loss we suffer as a result of your failure to comply with these terms and conditions.

Availability:

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the service available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, except for:

Planned downtime or maintenance (which we shall try to keep to a minimum and give at least 8 hours’ electronic notice, and which we shall schedule to the extent practicable during Saturday and Sunday BST).
Any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including for example, an act of God, act of government, flood, fire, earthquake, civil unrest, act of terror, strike or other labour problem (other than one involving our employees), internet service provider (or other third party) failure or delay, or denial of service attack.

No Guarantees:

We make no guarantee that the service will be suitable for your intended use, neither do we guarantee that it will be error-free, timely, reliable, entirely secure, virus-free, or available, especially since we are dependent on the reliability of the internet and your use of your own computer to access the service. The customer will review all training content in advance of inviting users to complete training. The customer will warrant that the training content is suitable for their organisation and meets their requirements. If a customer would like a custom course to suit specific requirements, Worlds For All Ltd will customise any course or create a new course for an additional fee. Once created, the course(s) will be available exclusively for that customer.

Exclusion of Our Liability:

You use the service entirely at your own risk. We do not restrict our liability (if any) for personal injury or death resulting from our negligence, for fraud committed by us, or for any matter which it would be illegal to limit or attempt to restrict. We exclude all other liability and responsibility for any amount or kind of loss or damage arising in connection with the service (even if we have been advised of their possibility).

Limitation of Our Liability:

Where we are not legally entitled to exclude our liability, our total liability for any loss or damage relating to the service (or to our website generally) shall not exceed an amount equal to the subscription fees which the customer has paid to us in the previous month.

Liability to Us:

The customer shall be solely responsible for any content published via its account. The customer shall be held liable for any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Worlds For All Ltd as a result of a breach of these terms and conditions by you or anyone accessing your account with your permission.

Third Party Rights:

No person other than Worlds For All Ltd and the customer shall have any rights to enforce these terms and conditions. No third party shall have any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this agreement, but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists, or is available, apart from that Act.

GENERAL LEGAL MATTERS
