About Software in our Services
Habyts gives you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable and non-exclusive license to use the software provided to you by Habyts as part of the Services. This license is for the sole purpose of enabling you to use and enjoy the benefit of the Services as provided by Habyts. You agree that you will use our software responsibly and accept and be liable for all the consequences of your actual usage and that you acknowledge that it is fair and reasonable because you control such usage, not Habyts. You agree not to use the Software in any way other than that expressly permitted by these Terms.
You acknowledge and understand that the Services contain confidential and proprietary information and that their copyright, trademarks, style, structure, features and functionality are and remain the property of Habyts. You may not redistribute, reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of that software, license, copy, modify, remove, destroy or alter in any way any of our Services unless laws prohibit those restrictions or you have our written permission. Habyts trademarks and trade dress may not be used in connection with any product or service that is not Habyts, in any manner that is likely to cause confusion among customers, or in any manner that disparages or discredits Habyts. All other trademarks not owned by Habyts or its subsidiaries that appear on this site are the property of their respective owners, who may or may not be affiliated with, connected to, or sponsored by Habyts or its subsidiaries.
All content included on this site, such as text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, audio clips, digital downloads, data compilations, and software, is the property of Habyts or its content suppliers and protected by international copyright laws. The compilation of all content on this site is the exclusive property of Habyts, with copyright authorship for this collection by Habyts, and protected by international copyright laws.
Submitting Information
While we try to make sure that our website and software are secure, we cannot guarantee the security of any information that you supply to us and therefore we cannot guarantee that it will be kept confidential. You agree that any information you send us may be used by us as we see reasonably fit on a free-of-charge basis as we have no way of knowing whether such information is confidential, commercially sensitive or valuable. Therefore, we will not be legally responsible for keeping any information you provide to us confidential nor will we be legally responsible to you or anybody else for any use of such information. We are serious about protecting your privacy and will make reasonable efforts not to publish such information in a personally identifiable form without your permission.
Liability for our Services
We do our best to produce error free software but cannot provide any guarantees in relation to functionality and use. The Software has not been prepared to meet your individual requirements and it cannot be tested in every operating environment. It is your responsibility to make sure the Software and the Service described meets your requirements and is compatible with the electronic devices you wish to use the Software on. Habyts is not and cannot be aware of the extent of any potential loss or damage to you resulting from any failure of the Software or Services to conform to its specification to provide the Service.
To the extent permitted by law, the total liability of Habyts, and its suppliers and distributors, for any claims under these terms, including for any implied warranties, is limited to the amount you paid us to use the Services (or, if we choose, to supplying you the Services again).
In all cases, Habyts, and its suppliers and distributors, will not be liable for any business or non-consumer losses, or any loss or damage that is not reasonably foreseeable or were not caused by a breach on our part.
We recognize that in some countries, you might have legal rights as a consumer. If you are using the Services for a personal purpose, then nothing in these terms or any additional terms limits any consumer legal rights which may not be waived by contract.
Schools
Within this section of our Terms, ‘you’ or ‘your’ refers to Account holders which are schools.
We aim to comply fully with the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations), COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) and FERPA (Family Education Rights and Privacy Act). While these are broadly-drafted regulations, as a school, you may have different legal obligations and liabilities from us. As such, prior to implementing Habyts in your school, you should take independent legal advice about your responsibilities to ensure that Habyts meets your needs. We will not be held liable for your failure to meet your legal responsibilities in the jurisdiction in which you operate.
Habyts software gives schools the ability to monitor and report on students’ online and computer-based activity. Therefore you must obtain and keep updated appropriate authority from parents or guardians of your students, and where necessary, students themselves, in order to record, store, access and disclose this information. In addition, since we may need to provide accounts for parents/guardians which are linked to those of their children, we may need to pre-register such accounts. In providing us with such personal information as is necessary to achieve this, you warrant to us that you have already acquired appropriate consent from parents/guardians.
If, as part of your deployment of Habyts, you require for us to access and use third party services such as Google Education or state education databases which involve identifiers such as student IDs, then we will use these identifiers in order to provide the services which you are expecting from us.
Typically, a school will use Habyts to impose school rules and policies with regard to internet and device access during school hours and/or on school property. Whether these devices are owned by the school, the parent/guardian or the child, you warrant that you have the authority and where necessary the consent of the appropriate parties for this activity. Any data collected during the application of such school policies is the property of the school.
Modifying our Services
Habyts reserves the right to update these Terms at any time without notice to you. If Habyts make such amendments, they will be published on the Website and shall take effect from the date of such publication. If you are a registered subscriber of our Services we will notify you by email and or via a notification inside our Software.
By continuing to use the Services, you agree to be bound by any amendment made by us. If for any reason you do not agree with the new terms you have the right for a period of 30 days following their initial publication on an email, notification or the website to cancel your Contract in totality. This means you can terminate all of (and not part only of) the Licence and end your (and others connected with you) receipt of the Service and use of Software.
Cancel our Services
To cancel your subscription to any of our Services, you must either cancel through the Service itself, or with 5 working days notice send an email stating your name, address, email address to contact@habyts.com and clearly state you want to cancel and provide the reason for cancellation. After we have processed your request the Software will automatically stop working at the end of your subscription period.
When you do not pay the required subscription fee the relevant Service will also automatically be cancelled on the first day of the new subscription period.
Habyts provides a free trial period for you to test the suitability of the Service. If you are not happy with Habyts at anytime during or after your free trial, you can remove the Software at any time. After the free trial has ended, you may decide to subscribe to Habyts. Habyts will not refund a subscription once purchased. This applies to both Annual and Monthly subscriptions.
