§5 ORDERING, PAYMENTS, SUBSCRIPTIONS
- The Platform provides access to Digital Content and Digital Services primarily on a subscription basis, in accordance with the plans described on the Website. In particular, the following plans may be offered:
a) Basic (Free) – a free plan granting access to selected Materials designated by the Seller as available under the Basic plan;
b) Premium (Paid monthly) – a paid subscription granting access to the Platform’s full library of Materials and Premium functionalities, as described on the Website at the time of purchase.
- The scope of access, features and Materials available under a given plan may differ and is described on the Website. Where a feature or Material is designated as “Premium”, it is accessible only to Customers with an active Premium subscription, unless stated otherwise.
- Paid Subscriptions may be purchased only through the Website using the electronic checkout process. To place an Order, the Customer must:
a) select a paid Subscription;
b) provide the data required at checkout (including a valid email address and, where applicable, billing details);
c) accept these Terms and any required consents;
d) complete payment using the payment method made available at checkout.
- Payments are processed via the Website’s checkout system operated through WooCommerce and its integrated or affiliated payment service providers. The available payment methods may depend on the Customer’s location and the configuration of the Seller’s payment provider(s).
- By completing the checkout process and placing an Order for a paid Subscription, the Customer:
a) authorises the Seller and/or the relevant payment service provider to charge the subscription fee for the initial billing period; and
b) expressly authorises the Seller and/or the relevant payment service provider to automatically charge the subscription fee for each subsequent billing period (recurring payment), until the Subscription is cancelled in accordance with these Terms.
- Subscription fees are charged in advance for each billing period.
- The billing period begins on the date on which the first payment is successfully processed and renews automatically at the end of each billing cycle (monthly), unless the Subscription is cancelled before renewal.
c) The Customer acknowledges that the exact date and time of renewal may depend on the payment service provider’s processing rules and time zones, and that charges may be processed shortly before, on, or shortly after the renewal date.
- Upon successful payment, the Customer will receive confirmation of the Order and/or activation of Premium access, displayed on the Website and/or sent electronically to the email address associated with the Account. The Seller may keep electronic records of Orders and payments for accounting, evidentiary and customer service purposes.
- If a payment cannot be successfully processed (including due to insufficient funds, expired payment methods, card restrictions, technical errors or payment provider rejection), the Seller may, as appropriate:
a) reattempt processing of the payment within a reasonable period of time;
b) request that the Customer update the payment method or complete payment using another available method;
c) temporarily suspend access to Premium features (in whole or in part) until payment is successfully completed;
d) terminate the Subscription if payment is not completed within a reasonable period, after providing any notice required by mandatory law.
- Suspension due to non-payment is a protective measure intended to prevent continued access to paid features without successful settlement.
- During suspension, the Customer may lose access to Premium Materials and functionalities, while the Account may remain active at a Basic level.
- Once the outstanding payment is successfully completed, Premium access may be restored without undue delay.
- The Customer may cancel the Premium Subscription at any time and without giving a reason, subject to the rules in this §5.
- Cancellation may be effected:
a) through the Customer’s Account panel, where the Seller provides such functionality; or
b) by sending a clear cancellation request to hello@teachingbricks.com from the email address associated with the Account.
The Seller may request reasonable information necessary to identify the Account and the Subscription (e.g., the email address used for purchase).
- Cancellation prevents future renewals and becomes effective at the end of the current paid billing period.
- Until the end of the current billing period, the Customer retains access to Premium features and Materials.
- After the billing period ends, the Account is automatically downgraded to the Basic (Free) plan, unless the Seller offers other options.
- As subscription fees are charged in advance for a billing period, no refund is granted for any partially used billing period, including where the Customer cancels mid-cycle.
- This does not limit any rights granted to Consumers under mandatory consumer protection laws, including rights relating to non-conformity of Digital Content or Digital Services.
- If the Customer initiates a chargeback or disputes a payment with their bank or payment provider, the Seller may temporarily suspend Premium access until the dispute is resolved. If the dispute is resolved in the Seller’s favour, access may be restored after payment is confirmed; if resolved against the Seller, the Seller may terminate the Subscription and/or pursue any lawful remedies.
- The Seller reserves the right to change subscription prices for future billing periods.
- Any such change shall be communicated to Customers in advance and shall apply only from the next billing cycle following such notification.
- The Customer may cancel the Subscription before the new price takes effect.
- The Seller may offer discounts, promotional codes, coupons or special offers from time to time.
- Unless expressly stated otherwise, promotions apply only for the period indicated and only under the conditions described at checkout.
- Promotions cannot be combined unless explicitly permitted.
- The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the payment method remains valid and that sufficient funds are available for recurring payments. The Seller shall not be liable for any interruption of access resulting from circumstances attributable to the Customer, including failure to maintain a valid payment method.
- In the event of an obvious technical error, pricing error or other manifest mistake affecting the checkout process or the displayed Price, the Seller may cancel the affected Order prior to activation and refund any amounts paid, without undue delay. This does not affect mandatory Consumer rights.
§6 DELIVERY / ACCESS TO DIGITAL CONTENT AND DIGITAL SERVICES

b) making Digital Content available through the Platform by means of access links, embedded content or downloadable files.

All intellectual property rights in such Materials are owned by the Seller or are lawfully used by the Seller under valid licences obtained from third parties.
- Upon obtaining access to the Platform under a Basic or Premium plan, the User is granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to use the Materials solely for personal teaching purposes, meaning the preparation and conduct of lessons for the User’s own students, whether in online or in-person teaching environments.

- Some Materials may include or be based on third-party elements, such as photographs, icons, excerpts, templates or authentic materials, which are used by the Seller under separate legal bases, including open licences such as Creative Commons (the “Open-Licensed Materials”).
- Where an Open-Licensed Material requires attribution, the Seller shall provide appropriate attribution in the Material itself or in accompanying descriptions or credits.
- The User undertakes to preserve such attribution and to comply with all applicable licence conditions when using Open-Licensed Materials, including requirements relating to attribution, share-alike or other licence restrictions.
- Where an Open-Licensed Material is made available to the Platform under a licence that restricts commercial use (e.g. a “NonCommercial” licence), the Seller shall use such material only within the scope permitted by that licence. The User is likewise obliged to ensure that their use of such elements complies with the applicable licence terms, including any non-commercial use restrictions.
- If any third-party rights holder believes that their intellectual property rights have been infringed through the use of Materials made available on the Platform, they may notify the Seller by contacting hello@teachingbricks.com.

- The Seller shall respond to a complete complaint without undue delay and no later than 14 days from the date of receipt. The response shall be provided electronically to the email address supplied by the Customer.

a) bringing the Digital Content or Digital Service into conformity is impossible or would involve disproportionate costs;
b) the Seller has failed to bring the Digital Content or Digital Service into conformity within a reasonable time;

- If the Customer is a Consumer within the meaning of applicable consumer protection laws of the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom or other jurisdictions granting equivalent rights, the Consumer has the right to withdraw from a distance contract concluded with the Seller within 14 days without giving any reason, unless an exception applies under applicable law.
- The withdrawal period shall expire after 14 days from the date of conclusion of the contract, i.e. the date on which the Subscription is purchased or access to the Digital Content or Digital Service is granted.
- To exercise the right of withdrawal, the Consumer must inform the Seller of their decision to withdraw from the contract by means of a clear and unambiguous statement, sent for example by email to hello@teachingbricks.com.
The Consumer may, but is not obliged to, use the model withdrawal form provided in Annex 2 to these Terms.
- Where the right of withdrawal is validly exercised:
a) the contract shall be deemed terminated;
b) the Seller shall refund all payments received from the Consumer without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 days from the day on which the Seller is informed of the Consumer’s decision to withdraw;
c) the refund shall be made using the same means of payment as used by the Consumer for the initial transaction, unless the Consumer has expressly agreed otherwise.
- The Consumer acknowledges that, pursuant to applicable law, the right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts for the supply of Digital Content or Digital Services not supplied on a tangible medium, where:
a) performance has begun before the expiry of the withdrawal period; and
b) the Consumer has given prior express consent to the commencement of performance; and
c) the Consumer has acknowledged that they thereby lose the right of withdrawal once the performance has begun.
- For paid Subscriptions providing immediate access to a digital library or Digital Services, the Consumer’s consent and acknowledgement referred to in paragraph 5 are obtained during the checkout process (e.g. by way of mandatory checkboxes), prior to granting access.
- Where the conditions set out in paragraph 5 are met, the Consumer shall not be entitled to withdraw from the contract once access to the Digital Content or Digital Service has commenced, and no refund shall be due on this basis.
- Where applicable law provides for payment proportionate to the scope of services provided before withdrawal, the Consumer shall be liable to pay an amount corresponding to the services actually provided up to the moment of withdrawal.
- Nothing in this §11 limits or excludes any mandatory rights of Consumers under applicable national or EU law. Where mandatory consumer protection provisions grant broader rights than those described herein, such provisions shall prevail.
- Detailed information concerning the exercise of the right of withdrawal, including a withdrawal notice and a model withdrawal form, is provided in Annex 1 and Annex 2 to these Terms.
§12 ACCOUNT AND SUBSCRIPTION MANAGEMENT
- Creating and maintaining an Account is required in order to access the Platform, including both free (Basic) and paid (Premium) Digital Content and Digital Services. Access to Materials is granted exclusively through the User’s Account.
- Through the Account, the User is able to:
a) access Materials and functionalities available under the selected plan;
b) view and update personal and contact data;
c) manage Subscription status, including viewing billing information and cancelling the Subscription, where such functionality is enabled within the Account panel.
- The User is responsible for ensuring that the data associated with the Account remains accurate, complete and up to date. The Seller shall not be responsible for consequences resulting from outdated or incorrect data provided by the User.
- The User is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of login credentials associated with the Account.
- The User must not disclose login credentials to any third party or allow third parties to access the Account.
- Any actions performed through the Account shall be deemed to have been performed by the User, unless unauthorised access is proven and not attributable to the User.
- Each Account is intended for use by one individual User only, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing by the Seller.
- Sharing an Account, login credentials, files, download links or access to Materials with third parties is strictly prohibited and constitutes a material breach of these Terms.
- The scope of access to Materials depends on the User’s current Subscription status.
- Cancelling a Subscription or downgrading to a free plan results in the loss of access to Premium Materials at the end of the applicable billing period, in accordance with §5 of these Terms.
- Deleting an Account may result in immediate or subsequent loss of access to Materials, subject to mandatory consumer law.
- The User may request deletion of the Account by contacting the Seller or, where available, through Account settings. The Seller may retain certain data after deletion where required by law or for legitimate purposes, including accounting, tax or dispute resolution.
- The Seller reserves the right to suspend or terminate an Account, in whole or in part, with immediate effect or after prior notice (as required by applicable law), if:
a) the User violates these Terms;
b) the Platform is used in an unlawful manner;
c) repeated payment failures occur despite prior notification;
d) the User abuses Subscription features, Account access or Materials, including by attempting to circumvent access restrictions or licence limitations.
- Suspension or termination of an Account may result in loss of access to Digital Content and Digital Services.
- Termination of an Account does not affect rights and obligations that arose prior to termination, including outstanding payment obligations or claims resulting from breaches of these Terms.
- Nothing in this §12 limits or excludes any mandatory rights of Consumers under applicable consumer protection law, including rights relating to termination of contracts for Digital Content or Digital Services.
§13 USER CONTENT, MODERATION, AND NOTICE-AND-ACTION
1. Where the Platform enables Users to submit, upload or publish User Content, including comments, reviews, profile elements or messages submitted via forms, the User remains solely responsible for the content they provide. User Content must not be illegal, unlawful or otherwise in violation of these Terms or applicable law. In particular, Users must not post content that constitutes hate speech, harassment, threats or discrimination; infringes intellectual property rights or other rights of third parties; violates privacy, data protection or image rights; constitutes spam, scams, misleading or fraudulent content; promotes or encourages violence, criminal activity or other illegal acts; or contains malicious software or attempts to compromise the security or integrity of the Platform.
2. The Seller does not endorse, verify or guarantee the accuracy, legality or reliability of User Content posted by Users. The Seller may review, assess and moderate User Content either proactively, using reasonable measures, or reactively, upon receiving a report or otherwise obtaining knowledge of potentially illegal or non-compliant content. Where the Seller determines that User Content violates these Terms or applicable law, the Seller may take appropriate and proportionate measures, including removing the content, disabling or restricting access to it, limiting its visibility or functionality, or suspending or terminating the User’s Account, in whole or in part. Moderation decisions are taken with due diligence, in an objective and proportionate manner, taking into account the nature of the content, the seriousness of the violation and the rights and legitimate interests of all parties involved, including freedom of expression. Moderation decisions that significantly affect Users are not based solely on automated processing, unless permitted by applicable law.
3. Any person or entity may report User Content that is believed to be illegal or in violation of these Terms by submitting a notice to hello@teachingbricks.com. A report should include a clear explanation of the reasons why the content is considered illegal or non-compliant, the exact electronic location of the content (such as a URL or sufficiently precise description), the name and email address of the reporting person or entity (unless anonymous reporting is permitted under applicable law), and a statement confirming the reporter’s good-faith belief that the information provided is accurate and complete. The Seller shall assess reports without undue delay and may request additional information where necessary to complete the assessment.
4. Where User Content is removed, restricted or where an Account is suspended or terminated as a result of moderation, the affected User has the right to submit an appeal. Appeals should be sent to hello@teachingbricks.com and must include identification of the User and the Account concerned, identification of the challenged decision, and a reasoned explanation of why the User considers the decision to be incorrect or unjustified. Appeals are reviewed by a human reviewer and not solely by automated systems. The Seller aims to process appeals within a reasonable time, with a target response time of 14 days, unless the complexity of the case requires a longer review period. Submission of an appeal does not automatically suspend the effects of the moderation decision, unless the Seller decides otherwise.
5. Nothing in this §13 limits or excludes any obligations of the Seller or rights of Users arising from mandatory provisions of applicable law, including Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act), where applicable.
§14 LIABILITY
- The Seller undertakes to provide the Platform, Digital Content and Digital Services with reasonable care and skill, in accordance with applicable law, recognised industry standards and the nature of the services provided. The Seller does not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the Platform or that it will be free from minor errors or technical limitations inherent in digital services.
- The Platform provides educational materials and tools intended to support teaching activities. The Seller does not provide professional, pedagogical, legal or business advice and does not guarantee specific educational outcomes, learning results or commercial success. The User remains responsible for the manner in which the Materials are selected, adapted and used in their teaching practice.
- To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Seller shall not be liable for loss, damage or disruption resulting from:
a) the User’s device, operating system, browser, software configuration, internet connection or failure to meet the technical requirements set out in §7;
b) the use, availability or malfunction of third-party services, tools or platforms integrated with or linked from the Platform (including external presentation or hosting tools), where such issues are beyond the Seller’s reasonable control;
c) temporary interruptions, delays or limitations in access caused by maintenance, updates, security measures, technical incidents or infrastructure failures not attributable to the Seller.
- Subject to mandatory law, the Seller shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential losses, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of business opportunities, loss of goodwill, loss of data or business interruption, even if the Seller has been informed of the possibility of such losses.
- Where the User acts as a Business Customer, the Seller’s liability shall be excluded or limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. In particular:
a) the Seller shall not be liable for lost profits, indirect or consequential damages;
b) where liability cannot be excluded, the Seller’s total aggregate liability shall not exceed the total amount actually paid by the Business Customer for the Subscription during the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.
- Where the User is a Consumer, nothing in these Terms excludes or limits the Seller’s liability in a manner that would deprive the Consumer of rights granted under mandatory consumer protection law. In particular, the Seller remains responsible for lack of conformity of Digital Content or Digital Services in accordance with §10 and applicable law.
- Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits the Seller’s liability to the extent that such liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable mandatory law, including liability arising from intentional misconduct or other circumstances for which exclusion or limitation is not legally permitted.
- The Seller shall not be liable for failure or delay in the performance of its obligations where such failure or delay results from events beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, governmental actions, armed conflict, terrorism, labour disputes, failures of telecommunications networks or third-party infrastructure.
§15 CHANGES TO THE TERMS
- The Seller reserves the right to amend or update these Terms where justified by valid reasons, including in particular:
a) changes in applicable laws or regulatory requirements;
b) the need to improve security, stability or technical performance of the Platform;
c) changes to the scope, structure or functionality of the Platform, Digital Content or Digital Services;
d) prevention of misuse, abuse or unlawful use of the Platform;
e) organisational or operational changes affecting the manner in which the Services are provided.
- Users shall be informed of any material changes to these Terms in advance, in a clear and understandable manner, at least 14 days before the amended Terms take effect. Notification may be provided via the Website, the User’s Account, email or another appropriate communication channel.
- A shorter notice period may apply where immediate changes are required due to legal or regulatory obligations, security risks, prevention of abuse or other circumstances beyond the Seller’s reasonable control. In such cases, the Seller shall inform Users as soon as reasonably possible.
- Orders and contracts concluded before the effective date of the amended Terms shall remain governed by the version of the Terms applicable at the time of purchase, unless mandatory provisions of applicable law require otherwise.
- Continued use of the Platform after the effective date of the amended Terms constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms, unless applicable law requires explicit consent or grants the User the right to terminate the contract in connection with the changes.
- Nothing in this §15 limits or excludes any mandatory rights of Consumers under applicable law, including rights relating to termination of contracts or protection against unfair contractual terms.

6. Users have the rights granted under applicable data protection law, including the right to access, rectify, erase or restrict the processing of their personal data, the right to data portability, the right to object to processing and, where applicable, the right to withdraw consent.

§17 FINAL PROVISIONS, GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
- These Terms and any contracts concluded on their basis shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Poland, unless mandatory provisions of applicable law provide otherwise.
