This Site is the property of Promethean Limited and its licensors.  By using the Site, you agree to these Terms of Use.  If you do not agree, do not use this Site. The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” as used in these Terms of Use refer to Promethean Limited.

Promethean reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of these Terms of Use at any time.  It is your responsibility to check these Terms of Use periodically for changes.  Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes will mean that you accept and agree to the changes.  You may not use the Site or any Content on the Site for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by these Terms of Use, or to solicit the performance of any illegal activity or other activity which infringes the rights of Promethean or others.  As long as you comply with these Terms of Use, Promethean grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited privilege to enter and use the Site.

2. Other Terms

Additional terms may apply to purchases of goods or services and to specific portions or features of the Site including contests, promotions, or other similar features, all of which terms are made a part of these Terms of Use by this reference and you agree to abide by such other terms. If there is a conflict between these Terms of Use and the terms posted for or applicable to a specific portion of the Site or for any service offered on or through the Site, the latter terms shall control with respect to your use of that portion of the Site or the specific service. The Site contains links to Promethean’s ClassFlow website.  The ClassFlow website is not subject to these Terms of Use, but instead is subject to separate Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Cookies Policy and other policies, terms and conditions that can be found directly on the ClassFlow website.

Any third-party trademarks and logos which may appear on the site are owned by their respective  third parties.

You agree to notify us promptly if you believe that there has been any unauthorised use of your account or any other breach of security. To the extent that an email address is a required field, you must use a valid personal email address that you access regularly. Accounts registered with someone else’s email address or with temporary email addresses may be closed without notice. We may require users to re-validate their account if we believe they have been using an invalid email address.

16. Violation of these Terms of Use

Promethean may disclose any information we have about you (including your identity) if we determine that such disclosure is necessary in connection with any investigation or complaint regarding your use of the Site, or to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Promethean’s rights or property, or the rights or property of visitors to or users of the Site, including Promethean’s customers.

You agree that Promethean may, in its sole discretion and without prior notice, terminate your access to the Site and/or block your future access to the Site if we determine that you have violated these Terms of Use or other agreements or guidelines which may be associated with your use of the Site, or if we determine , in our reasonable judgement, that we should terminate or block you access to the site. You also agree that any violation by you of these Terms of Use will constitute an unlawful and unfair business practice, and will cause irreparable harm to Promethean for which monetary damages would be inadequate, and you consent to Promethean obtaining any injunctive or equitable relief that Promethean deems necessary or appropriate in such circumstances. These remedies are in addition to any other remedies Promethean may have at law or in equity.

This provision does not affect your rights under law. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office.

18. Severability

If any of the provisions of these Terms of Use are held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary and replaced with a valid provision that best embodies the intent of these Terms of Use, so that these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect.

19. Waiver

Promethean’s failure to insist on or enforce strict performance of any of these Terms of Use shall not be construed as a waiver by Promethean of any provision or any right it has to enforce any provision of these Terms of Use, nor shall any course of conduct between Promethean and you or any other party be deemed to modify any provision of these Terms of Use.

20. Entire Agreement

These Terms of Use, as well as the Acceptable Use Policy, and Privacy Policy collectively constitute the entire agreement between you and Promethean with regard to your use of the Site, and any and all other written or oral agreements or understandings previously existing between you and Promethean with respect to such use are hereby superseded and cancelled.
