Terms of Service.
The agreement between you and Cairn Learning that governs your use of cairnlearning.com and the Cairn service. By using Cairn, you accept these terms.
1. Who we are and what these terms cover
These terms are an agreement between you and Cairn Learning (“Cairn”, “we”, “us”), operated by [FILL: legal entity name], at cairnlearning.com. They govern your use of the Cairn website and service. By using Cairn, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the service.
2. Who can use Cairn
Cairn is for parents and legal guardians who are at least 18 years old. It is not for use directly by children. You use Cairn to build a learning plan for a child in your care, and you confirm that you have the authority to provide information about that child.
If you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your sign-in details private and for activity under your account.
3. What Cairn does, and what it does not do
Cairn helps you choose. We build a weekly learning plan that combines two or three providers from a curated database, and we explain why each one fits the child you described. That is the whole of the service.
Cairn is an advisory and curation service. We are not a tutor, a school, a curriculum, or a learning provider ourselves. We do not deliver lessons, and we do not employ or supervise the providers we recommend. A recommendation is information to help you decide. The decision, and the responsibility for it, stays with you.
We do not promise any particular educational result. Learning depends on the child, the provider, and many things outside our control. We are honest about the limits of what an assessment can tell us, and a recommendation is a considered suggestion, not a guarantee.
4. The providers we recommend
The learning providers in our database are third parties. When you choose to act on a recommendation, you typically leave Cairn and deal with that provider directly, under that provider's own terms and privacy policy.
We curate the providers we list and apply quality criteria, but we cannot continuously verify every provider, and we do not control what they do. You are responsible for your own checks before engaging a provider, including anything that concerns your child's safety. We are not responsible for the services, content, conduct, pricing, or availability of any third-party provider.
We earn a commission when you choose some providers through our links. As stated in our Privacy Policy, this commission never affects which providers we recommend or how they are ranked.
5. Acceptable use
When using Cairn, you agree not to:
- give us false information, or information about a child you are not responsible for,
- use the service for anything unlawful,
- attempt to break, overload, scrape, or reverse-engineer the service, or
- interfere with other users' use of the service.
We may suspend or end your access if you break these rules.
6. Your inputs
You keep ownership of the information you provide. You grant us a limited license to use that information to operate the service and produce your plan, as described in our Privacy Policy. You confirm you are allowed to share the information you give us.
7. Our content and intellectual property
The Cairn website, the recommendation engine, the plans and explanations we generate, our name, and our branding are owned by us or our licensors. You may use the plans we produce for your own family's purposes. You may not copy, resell, or redistribute the service or its content without our permission.
8. Disclaimers
The service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, we disclaim warranties of any kind, including that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose, and including any warranty about educational outcomes. We do not warrant the accuracy or quality of any third-party provider.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, in which case those parts do not apply to you.
9. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, Cairn is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses, or for any loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, a recommendation or a third-party provider. [FILL: state your liability cap, e.g. our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the previous twelve months, or a fixed amount.] Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
10. Indemnification
You agree to cover us against claims arising from your misuse of the service or your breach of these terms, to the extent the law allows.
11. Changes to the service and to these terms
We may change or discontinue parts of the service, and we may update these terms. When we make a material change to the terms, we will update the version and date above and, where appropriate, tell you. Continuing to use Cairn after a change means you accept the updated terms.
12. Ending your use
You can stop using Cairn at any time and ask us to delete your account and information. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms or if we stop offering the service.
13. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of [FILL: governing jurisdiction, e.g. the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the federal laws of the United Arab Emirates]. Any dispute will be subject to [FILL: chosen forum or dispute resolution mechanism]. If you are a consumer, you may also have rights under the law of the country where you live, which these terms do not remove.
