Agreement to Our Legal Terms

We are ENGLISH FUN WITH MONA SRL (“School,” “We,” “Us,” “Our”), trading as SMART Academy of Languages, a company registered in Romania at Str. Banu Maracine nr. 1, Pitești, Argeș, 110194, România. Our registration number (CUI) is 28242098, Trade Registry no. J2011000457037.

We operate the mobile and web application SMART Academy (the “App”), as well as any other related products and services that refer or link to these legal terms (the “Legal Terms”) (collectively, the “Services”). The App is built and technically operated on Our behalf by RYA DEV TECHNOLOGY SRL (the “Developer”), Romania, Arges, Pitesti, str. Episcop Grigorie Leu nr. 97.

You can contact us by email at mona.serban@gmail.com, by phone at (+40) 764 407 245, or by mail to Str. Banu Maracine nr. 1, Pitești, Argeș, 110194, România.

These Legal Terms constitute a legally binding agreement made between You, whether personally or on behalf of a Student, and the School, concerning Your access to and use of the Services. By accessing the Services, You confirm that You have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all of these Legal Terms. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE LEGAL TERMS, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SERVICES AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.

Who the Services are for

The Services are provided to adults enrolled or employed by the School in the following roles:

Parent — a parent or legal guardian of a Student enrolled at the School, given access to view that Student’s attendance and evaluation records;
Teacher — School staff given access to record attendance, evaluations, and student work for the group(s) they teach;
Admin — School staff given administrative access to manage Students, Parents, Teachers, groups, and academy-wide settings.

There is no self-service registration. An Account is created for You only by the School, after You have separately enrolled Your Student with the School or joined the School as staff. You are not permitted to use or register for the Services unless the School has provisioned an Account for You, and You must be at least 18 years old to hold one.

Students are not users of the Services. The Services are used about Students by their Parent, their Teachers, and the School’s Admin — a Student does not hold an Account, does not accept these Legal Terms, and is not required to be 18 or older. See Our Privacy Policy, and in particular its Children’s and Students’ Data section, for how a Student’s data is handled.

We recommend that You keep a copy of these Legal Terms for Your records.

Our Services

The Services exist to support the School’s own language teaching activity — recording attendance, evaluations, student work, and communication between the School, its Teachers, and Parents. The Services are not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in a jurisdiction where such distribution or use would be contrary to law.

Intellectual Property Rights

Our intellectual property

The School owns or licenses the content and trademarks of the Services, including the “SMART Academy of Languages” name and logo (the “Marks”). The underlying App software — its source code, design, and functionality — is owned by the Developer, RYA DEV TECHNOLOGY SRL, and made available to the School and to You for use as part of the Services (collectively with the Marks, the “Content”).

The Content and Marks are protected by copyright and trademark laws and are provided “AS IS” for Your use as part of the Services only.

Your use of the Services

Subject to Your compliance with these Legal Terms, including the Prohibited Activities section, We grant You a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services solely for their intended purpose — participating in, or supporting Your Student’s participation in, the School’s language courses.

Except as set out in this section, no part of the Services, and no Content or Marks, may be copied, reproduced, republished, distributed, sold, or otherwise exploited for any purpose without Our and, where the underlying software is concerned, the Developer’s express prior written permission.

Any breach of these Intellectual Property Rights will constitute a material breach of these Legal Terms and Your right to use the Services will terminate immediately.

User Representations

By using the Services, You represent and warrant that: (1) You are at least 18 years old; (2) the information the School holds about You is accurate, and You will promptly tell the School if it needs to be updated; (3) if You are a Parent, You have parental responsibility for the Student(s) linked to Your Account and are authorized to view and act on their behalf within the Services; (4) You have the legal capacity to agree to these Legal Terms; (5) You will not access the Services through automated or non-human means; and (6) Your use of the Services will not violate any applicable law or regulation.

If You provide information that is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, We have the right to suspend or terminate Your account.

User Registration

Your Account is created for You by the School; You do not register yourself. You agree to keep Your password confidential and are responsible for all use of the Services under Your Account. If You believe Your Account has been accessed without Your authorization, contact Us immediately using the details under Contact Us.

No Payments Through the App

The App does not process tuition, fees, or any other payment. Enrollment fees and payment arrangements are handled directly between You and the School, outside the App. If paid features are introduced inside the App in the future, separate pricing terms will be presented to You before they apply.

Prohibited Activities

You may not access or use the Services for any purpose other than that for which We make them available. As a user of the Services, You agree not to:

Systematically retrieve data from the Services to build a collection, compilation, or database without Our written permission.
Trick, defraud, or mislead Us, the School, or other users, including attempting to learn another user’s password or account information.
Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security-related feature of the Services, including the role-based access rules that keep a Parent’s or Teacher’s visibility limited to their own Student(s) or group(s).
Use information obtained from the Services to harass, abuse, or harm another person, including a Student.
Use the Services in a manner inconsistent with any applicable law or regulation, including laws protecting minors.
Upload or transmit viruses, or any material that interferes with the Services’ operation.
Attempt to impersonate another user, including another Parent, Teacher, or Admin.
Attempt to bypass any measure of the Services designed to restrict access.
Decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer the App, except as permitted by applicable law.
Use the Services as part of any effort to compete with the School or the Developer, or for any revenue-generating purpose the Services were not designed for.

Content You Submit Through the App

Teachers and Admins may upload content through the App as part of providing the Services — for example, photographs of a Student’s submitted work or profile photo (only where the Student’s photo consent is recorded, as described in the Privacy Policy), evaluation feedback text, a Teacher’s biography, and messages or announcements.

This content is private to the Services. It is not public, is not made visible outside the role-based access rules described in the Privacy Policy, and is not licensed to Us or the Developer for advertising, marketing, or any purpose beyond operating the Services and improving their accuracy and quality (for example, reviewing uploaded photos of submitted work to improve grading consistency). We do not claim ownership of this content beyond the limited right to store, process, and display it as part of providing the Services to the relevant Parent, Teacher(s), and Admin.

By uploading content, You confirm that You have the right to do so and that it does not violate the Prohibited Activities section above.

Mobile Application License

Use License

We grant You a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right to install and use the App on a device You own or control, strictly for the purpose of accessing the Services as a Parent, Teacher, or Admin. You shall not: (1) except as permitted by applicable law, decompile, reverse engineer, or disassemble the App; (2) modify or create a derivative work of the App; (3) violate applicable law in connection with Your use of the App; (4) remove or obscure any proprietary notice in the App; (5) use the App for any purpose it was not designed for; (6) make the App available to users the School has not provisioned an Account for; or (7) use any proprietary part of the App to build a competing product or service.

Apple and Android Devices

The following terms apply when You use the App obtained from the Apple App Store or Google Play (each an “App Distributor”): (1) Your license to the App is limited to a non-transferable license to use it on a device running the applicable operating system, in accordance with that App Distributor’s terms of service; (2) We are responsible for providing maintenance and support for the App, and the App Distributor has no obligation to do so; (3) in the event the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, You may notify the App Distributor, and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, its only obligation will be to refund the purchase price, if any — which for this App is zero, as it is provided free of charge; (4) We, and not the App Distributor, are solely responsible for addressing any claim relating to the App, including product liability, legal or regulatory non-conformance, and consumer protection or privacy claims; (5) in the event of a third-party claim that the App infringes its intellectual property rights, We, and not the App Distributor, will be solely responsible for investigating, defending, and resolving that claim to the extent required by applicable law; and (6) the App Distributors are third-party beneficiaries of this section and may enforce it against You.

Third-Party Websites and Content

The Services may contain links to third-party websites or content that We do not control and are not responsible for. If You choose to access a third-party website from the Services, You do so at Your own risk, and these Legal Terms no longer govern.

Services Management

We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to: (1) monitor the Services for violations of these Legal Terms; (2) take appropriate action against anyone who violates the law or these Legal Terms; (3) restrict or disable access to any content that violates these Legal Terms; and (4) otherwise manage the Services to protect their proper functioning and the safety of Students, Parents, Teachers, and Admins.

Privacy Policy

We care about the privacy of Your data and Your Student’s data. Please review Our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Legal Terms by reference. It explains what data We collect (including data about Students, who are not Users), why, who We share it with — including Supabase (hosting) and OpenAI (voice transcription and AI-assisted feedback drafting) — and how You or a Student’s Parent can exercise data protection rights.

Term and Termination

These Legal Terms remain in effect while You use the Services. We reserve the right, in Our sole discretion, to suspend or terminate Your access to the Services at any time, for any reason, including breach of these Legal Terms — for example, if Your Student is no longer enrolled at the School, or Your employment or collaboration with the School ends. Terminating Your Account does not, by itself, delete the Student academic records the School keeps as part of its own operations; see Our Privacy Policy for how those are handled.

Modifications and Interruptions

We reserve the right to change or remove the contents of the Services at any time. We cannot guarantee the Services will be available at all times, and We will not be liable for any loss or inconvenience caused by downtime or discontinuance of the Services.

Governing Law

These Legal Terms are governed by and interpreted following the laws of Romania. If Your habitual residence is in the EU and You are a consumer, You additionally have the protection provided by the mandatory provisions of the law of Your country of residence. Disputes will be submitted to the competent courts of Romania, which means You may bring a claim to defend Your consumer protection rights in Romania or in the EU country in which You reside.

Dispute Resolution

If a dispute arises from these Legal Terms, We encourage You to first contact Us directly using the details under Contact Us so We can try to resolve it informally. Nothing in this section limits Your right, as a consumer, to bring a claim before the competent courts under Governing Law, or to use the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform where applicable.

Corrections

There may be information on the Services that contains typographical errors or omissions. We reserve the right to correct these and to update the Services at any time, without prior notice.

Disclaimer

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, AND WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR (1) ERRORS OR INACCURACIES IN CONTENT, (2) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF OUR SERVERS OR THE PERSONAL DATA STORED THEREIN, (3) ANY INTERRUPTION OR CESSATION OF TRANSMISSION TO OR FROM THE SERVICES, OR (4) ANY BUGS OR VIRUSES TRANSMITTED TO OR THROUGH THE SERVICES BY ANY THIRD PARTY.

Limitations of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION LIMITS OUR LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY OUR NEGLIGENCE, FOR FRAUD, OR FOR ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING ROMANIAN AND EU CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Us and the Developer harmless from any loss, damage, liability, or claim, including reasonable legal fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of: (1) content You submit through the Services; (2) Your use of the Services; (3) Your breach of these Legal Terms; or (4) Your violation of the rights of a third party. This does not affect any right You have as a consumer that cannot be limited under applicable law.

User Data

We maintain the data You transmit to the Services for the purpose of providing and managing the Services, as described in Our Privacy Policy. Although We perform routine backups, You are responsible for any data You are solely responsible for transmitting, and We will not be liable for loss or corruption of data except where that liability cannot be excluded under applicable law.

Electronic Communications

Using the Services, and any in-App messages or announcements You send or receive, constitute electronic communications. You consent to receive communications from Us electronically, and agree that this satisfies any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.

Miscellaneous

These Legal Terms and Our Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between You and Us regarding the Services. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Legal Terms does not waive it. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect. We may assign these Legal Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to the notice requirements in Our Privacy Policy.
