You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account, login name and password and for restricting access to your computer. You agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account, login name and/or password. You agree to provide only accurate, truthful information.

You may cancel your VivaLing Business account at any time; however, there are no refunds for cancellation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, refunds (if any) are at our discretion. In the event that VivaLing Business suspends or terminates your account or these Terms, you understand and agree that you shall receive no refund or exchange for any remaining credit on your account, any unused time on a subscription, any license or subscription fees for any portion of the Service, any content or data associated with your account, or for anything else. Any remaining balance on your account is forfeited and any outstanding balance on your account becomes immediately due and payable upon termination of these Terms for any reason.

The remaining credit on your account may be refunded solely at our discretion if the request reaches us within 1 (one) month of your original purchase and after deduction of (1) a USD 25 dollar administrative fee, (2) the bank transfer fees if any, and (3) all package-related benefits (in other words the used part of the package will be recalculated at retail price before the balance is refunded), all discounts, all bonuses.

Coaching sessions can be freely rescheduled, or cancelled and refunded provided the rescheduling or cancellation takes place at least 24 hours prior to the planned starting time of the session. No session can be cancelled and / or refunded later than 24 hours before its planned starting time ; in particular a session will not be refunded if it is missed for whatever reason and not cancelled at least 24 hours before its planned starting time. Due to the personalized teaching provided by VivaLing Business, a session cannot be transferred at the last minute from one learner to another within the same family.

Sessions can be taken from a computer or tablet equipped with a microphone and camera (internal or external). You need a connection with a minimum of 0.6 Mbps.

The trademarks, logos, and service marks displayed on the Site (collectively, the “Trademarks”) are the registered and unregistered marks of VivaLing Business, our affiliates, partners or licensors, in Singapore and other countries, and are protected by Singapore and international trademark laws. Neither the Content or Trademarks nor any portion of the Site may be used, reproduced, duplicated, copied, sold, resold, accessed, modified, or otherwise exploited, in whole or in part, for any purpose without our prior written consent. Blog posts may be used and referred to when their origin is explicitly mentioned.

Session content and video recordings are part of the Content, and as such are the property of VivaLing Business, our affiliates, partners or licensors, and is protected by Singapore and international copyright laws. The video recordings of a User may be made available to that User or group of Users featuring on the recording, while the Services last. In addition, VivaLing Business will not publicly display, use, perform, distribute any of its content containing video recording of its Users without their explicit consent or the explicit consent of their parents or legal representative.

You may have the opportunity to post information and content on the Service. Any content a User submits, posts, displays, or otherwise makes available on the Service, which originates from a particular User, including all intellectual property rights therein, is referred to as that User’s “User Content.” You grant us a perpetual, non-exclusive, fully paid, royalty-free, irrevocable, sub-licensable, worldwide license and right to display, use, perform, reproduce, modify, distribute and create derivative works of all such User Content in whole or in part, in any media, software, or technology of any kind now existing or developed in the future, without any obligation to provide attribution or compensation to you or any third party, for use in connection with the Service and VivaLing Business’s (and its successors’ and affiliates’) business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the Service (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels.

7. Special Provision Specific to Coaching

No coaching relationship started through VivaLing Business may continue outside of VivaLing Business before at least one year has elapsed after (1) the last coaching session with that family on VivaLing Business, and (2) the Coach has notified VivaLing Business in writing that they were putting an end to the contract. Neither Coaches nor Parents are allowed to suggest meeting offline or using another website distinct from VivaLing Business. Neither Coaches nor Parents are allowed to solicit personal information about a Parent or a Coach. Further, you agree to report any violations or breaches of this clause immediately by contacting us by email at contact@vivaling.com.

Session videos will be recorded and made available by VivaLing Business to Parents for a given period of time. Coaches agree that the recordings of videos in which they are featured may be shared with the parents at any time. They also agree that subject to their prior consent, the videos will be used by VivaLing Business for any other purpose, free of any condition or obligation whatsoever. Coaches should never publish or use a video without the explicit consent of both Parents and VivaLing Business.

Coaches agree to abide by VivaLing Business’s general pedagogical approach. However they must bring the material in addition to resources provided by VivaLing Business.

8. Special provision specific to community areas, games, coaching content

VivaLing Business offers specific areas in which members of the VivaLing Business community may communicate freely (e.g. messaging services, chat, wall, etc.). VivaLing Business acts exclusively as a host of the community areas made available and our responsibility is therefore that of a technical supplier. Parents and teachers are therefore asked to monitor the use of our community areas by their children/pupils.

You acknowledge that you are fully responsible for any Contributions published by your children on the Site and that those Contributions do not form part of the editorial activity undertaken by VivaLing Business. As a result, VivaLing Business may not be held liable for the unlawful nature of any Contributions submitted. You guarantee VivaLing Business against any form of recourse and/or legal action initiated against any other person as a result of the publication of Contributions on the Site. You will pay any charges, payments and compensation that may be due to or claimed by such persons for whatever reason.

The messaging services, chat, wall, comments section and other community areas are intended for the exchange and discussion of content that must abide with clause 5 (Conduct and Safety). Any Contributions not complying with this clause may be deleted by the site moderator and may even be notified to the authorities.

In the ‘View Interface’ section in both the ‘My Children’s Accounts’ and ‘My Pupils’ Accounts’ areas of the Site, you may delete messages and/or e-friends and/or inform VivaLing Business of any Contribution that does not relate to the relevant topic or editorial line and/or contravenes the laws and regulations in force and thus constitutes a criminal offence (e.g. attempts to justify crimes against humanity, incitement of racial hatred, child pornography and proselytizing). This option may be exercised by sending an e-mail to contact@vivaling.com.

9. Moderation

The ‘Mail Box, Chat, Wall’ sections and any pictures uploaded into the Games section are carefully moderated. The site moderator may therefore delete or temporarily or definitively exclude any content – subsequent to its publication – that does not relate to the relevant topic or editorial line; that does not comply with the ethical principles listed in the ‘Community Areas’ section above; or that contravenes the laws and regulations in force.

10. Third Party Links

If you give a Feedback, you represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control the rights to your Feedback. You further represent and warrant that such Submission does not constitute or contain software viruses, commercial solicitation, chain letters, mass mailings, or any form of “spam.” You may not use a false email address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead us as to the origin of any Feedback.
