Terms of Use

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue any of our Services from time to time, with or without notice to you.

Your membership may be terminated if:
(a) you have purchased your own membership and you elect not to renew your membership at the subscription term end date;
(b) a School has purchased a membership on your behalf and the School elects not to have the membership auto-renewed;
(c) payment of fees is not made when due, whether by you or by a School who purchased a membership on your behalf; or
(d) you leave the employment of a School who has purchased a subscription on your behalf and they do not transfer the remaining membership period to you.

If your membership expires or is terminated for any reason, you must:
(a) immediately cease using the Cleverbean Content; and
(b) as soon as practicable, delete any Cleverbean Content that you downloaded or copied, wherever it is digitally or physically stored.

If you continue to use Cleverbean Content after the expiry or termination of your membership, that will: (i) be in breach of these Terms of Use; and (ii) constitute actionable copyright infringement.

You must set up an account to access our Services, which requires you to provide your name and email address. You consent to our use of your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, safeguard and disclose personal information.

If you provide us with personal information for the purpose of setting up an account but do not submit payment for the membership, you consent to us: (i) contacting you about completing your membership access by submitting the required payment; (ii) sending you marketing content, subject to applicable opt-in / opt-out requirements.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account password, your account and all activities on or through your account. You must notify us immediately of any use of your username and password by any other person or any unauthorised use of your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising in connection with any such unauthorised use. If we consider appropriate, we may require you to alter your username and/or password, or suspend or cancel your account access.

You agree and acknowledge that all information you provide us will be true, accurate, current and complete and you must not create an account for anyone other than yourself.

You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all equipment, personnel and services needed for access to and use of our Services including paying for all fees and ancillary costs to do so.

You may cancel your account for any reason by notifying us, however you are not entitled to any refund of any fees you have paid in advance and no refunds are provided in respect of the unused period of the subscription term. You will continue to have use of your account for the remainder of your subscription period.

Our fees remain fixed during the initial term of your membership unless you upgrade to a different membership tier or you subscribe for additional features or products.

You are charged the applicable fee at the beginning of your membership period, via your selected payment method. This will automatically occur based on your chosen subscription period, either monthly or yearly and upon the charge being made, your subscription will be valid for the next month or year, as applicable.

We may vary our fees over time, however any increases to fees will not come into effect until the beginning of your new subscription period. We will notify you of any fee increases via email with the registered email address at least 30 days prior to commencement of the new subscription period. You may terminate your membership if you do not agree to a fee increase, provided you give us at least 30 days written notice.

If you sign up for a free trial, you will still be required to complete payment information upfront and in advance of your free trial period. You will not be charged any fees within the free trial period and may cancel anytime from your profile in your Cleverbean account. Payment will only be taken on the day after the free trial period ends.

Unless otherwise expressly stated, all fees, prices or other sums payable or consideration to be provided under these Terms of Use are inclusive of GST.

Unless otherwise agreed, all fees paid will be captured using Cleverbean's payment gateway service provider, and all payment and billing information will be stored privately within that payment gateway. Cleverbean will not hold any payment or billing information. Should you need to update your payment information, you will need to do so within the payment gateway interface.

If your payment fails for any reason, we reserve the right to remove your access from Cleverbean and terminate your membership.
