End User Licence Agreement (EULA)

Last updated: September 2026

1. Introduction and Acceptance

1.1 This End User Licence Agreement ("Agreement", "EULA") is a legally binding agreement between you ("you", "User") and, "Borderline Photography", trading as "Home Ed Helper" ("we", "us", "our", the "Licensor"), governing your access to and use of the Home Ed Helper website, web application, and associated services (together, the "Software" or the "Service").

1.2 By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree to these terms, you must not access or use the Service.

1.3 You must be at least 18 years old, or otherwise possess the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction, to accept this Agreement on your own behalf and, where applicable, on behalf of your household.

1.4 This Agreement operates alongside, and does not replace, our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Where there is a direct conflict between this Agreement and the Terms of Service specifically as to the scope of the licence granted in Section 2, this Agreement shall prevail; in all other respects, the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy continue to apply in full.

2. Grant of Licence

2.1 Subject to your continued compliance with this Agreement and payment of any applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to access and use the Service, solely for your own personal, non-commercial use in recording, planning, and tracking home education activity for children in your own household.

2.2 This licence is granted to you personally as the account holder. No licence is granted to any other person, including other members of your household, save that you may permit members of your own household to view or contribute to your account's records where you are responsible for their conduct in doing so.

2.3 No title to, or ownership of, the Software is transferred to you under this Agreement. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by us.

2.4 We reserve the right to suspend, restrict, or terminate your licence at any time in accordance with Section 7.

3. Licence Restrictions

You must not, and must not permit or authorise any third party to:

3.1 copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, or create derivative works of the Software, except as strictly necessary for your permitted use or as this Agreement expressly allows;

3.2 reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Software, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;

3.3 remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notices, trademarks, or branding on or within the Software;

3.4 use the Service to build a competing product or service, or for any commercial purpose not expressly permitted under Section 2.1;

3.5 use automated means (including bots, scrapers, or crawlers) to access, extract data from, or interact with the Service, other than the export functionality we provide;

3.6 use the Service to store, process, or record information relating to a child for whom you do not have parental responsibility or other lawful authority to do so;

3.7 circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security-related features of the Service, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Service, other accounts, or the systems or networks connected to the Service;

3.8 use the Service in any way that is unlawful, fraudulent, or that disrupts, degrades, or unreasonably burdens the Service for other users;

3.9 sell, rent, lease, lend, sublicense, or otherwise transfer or make available your account or access credentials to any third party.

4. Intellectual Property

4.1 The Software, including its source code, design, structure, "look and feel", trademarks, logos, and all associated documentation, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws of the United Kingdom and international treaties.

4.2 As between you and us, all entries, goals, plans, and other content that you input into the Service (your "User Content") remain your property. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to host, store, process, back up, and display your User Content solely to the extent necessary to provide the Service to you, and for no other purpose.

4.3 Nothing in this Agreement transfers ownership of any intellectual property rights in the Software to you.

5. Fees, Trial, and Payment

5.1 New accounts begin with a free trial period, during which no payment details are required.

5.2 Following the trial period, continued access to the Service requires payment of the subscription fee then in effect, currently £4 per month or £36 per year, or such other fee as we may notify to you from time to time in accordance with Section 10.

5.3 Fees are payable in advance and, except as required by law or as expressly stated in this Agreement or our Terms of Service, are non-refundable.

5.4 You may cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period, and you will retain access, and the ability to export your data, up to that point and, in respect of exporting your User Content, thereafter as described in our Terms of Service.

5.5 If a payment fails or is not made when due, we may suspend or restrict your access to the Service until payment is received.

6. Updates and Changes to the Software

6.1 We may from time to time release updates, patches, or new versions of the Service, which may add, alter, or remove features. This Agreement will apply to any such updates unless a separate licence is provided.

6.2 We do not guarantee that any particular feature will continue to be available indefinitely, though we will take reasonable steps to notify you of any change that materially reduces the Service's core functionality.

7. Term, Suspension, and Termination

7.1 This Agreement takes effect when you first access the Service and continues until terminated in accordance with this Section.

7.2 You may terminate this Agreement at any time by ceasing to use the Service and, if applicable, cancelling your subscription and closing your account.

7.3 We may suspend or terminate your licence and access to the Service, immediately and without liability to you, if: (a) you breach any provision of this Agreement or our Terms of Service; (b) we reasonably suspect fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful activity connected with your account; (c) required to do so by law or by a competent authority; or (d) we cease to offer the Service generally, subject to reasonable notice where practicable.

7.4 On termination for any reason, the licence granted in Section 2 immediately ends. Sections 3, 4, 8, 9, 11, and 12 survive termination. Your rights regarding export and deletion of your User Content are as set out in our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

8.3 Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits any statutory rights you have as a consumer that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

8.4 The content made available in any advice or guidance section of the Service is general information only and does not constitute legal, educational, or professional advice. You should not rely on it as a substitute for advice from your local authority or a qualified professional. Full detail is set out in the disclaimer on that section of the Service.

9. Limitation of Liability

9.1 Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under English law.

9.2 Subject to Section 9.1, we shall not be liable to you for any indirect, special, or consequential loss, or for any loss of profits, business, or data, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or your use of the Service, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise.

9.3 Subject to Section 9.1, our total aggregate liability to you arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, however arising, shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total fees paid by you to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) £50.

9.4 You acknowledge that the Service is a record-keeping tool and is not a guarantee of compliance with any legal obligation relating to home education; responsibility for meeting such obligations remains yours.

10. Changes to this Agreement

10.1 We may amend this Agreement from time to time, including to reflect changes in the Service, legal or regulatory requirements, or our business practices.
