Terms of use

1.About these terms

These terms describe use of BizTeach [registered legal name, company number and postal address to confirm], Donegal, Ireland ("BizTeach", "we", "us"). They cover bizteach.ie and the learning platform where access is offered, alongside the applicable terms shown at sign-up or checkout.

If you are under 18, please read these terms with a parent or guardian. Where consent is the lawful basis for a feature and you are under 16, the required guardian approval applies. School-provisioned accounts may have different arrangements, which must be explained when access is provided.

2.Using the website

You may browse the site, join early access, and send us feedback. You agree not to:

• copy, scrape or republish our content or brand assets without permission, beyond what your browser needs to show the page;
• try to gain access to any part of the site you are not meant to see, or interfere with how it works;
• submit anything unlawful, abusive, or that contains someone else's personal data without their permission;
• use the site in a way that breaks Irish or EU law.

3.Early access and the free resource pack

Joining early access is free and creates no obligation on you. We will email you the Business resource pack and occasional updates as BizTeach is built. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email or by contacting us.

Early access does not guarantee a place on any plan, a launch date, or a particular set of features. We will do our best to keep you informed as things firm up.

4.Educational content, not official advice

BizTeach provides study materials and guidance for Leaving Certificate Business. We work hard to keep it accurate and aligned with the NCCA specification and the State Examinations Commission's published marking schemes, but we are not the SEC, the NCCA or the Department of Education, and nothing on BizTeach is an official statement from them.

Any feedback, score, mark estimate or grade band shown by BizTeach or by Biz is study guidance only. It is not an SEC grade and it does not predict your result. Always follow your teacher's and the SEC's own instructions, especially for the Business Alive Investigative Study.

5.Biz, our AI study coach

Biz is an AI-powered tool. It can be wrong, incomplete or out of date, and it may misread what you ask. Check important points against your notes and your teacher. Our Acceptable use of AI page sets out what Biz will and will not do, and the rules for using it, and forms part of these terms.

6.Your own work

Anything you write or paste into BizTeach stays yours. You allow us to process it as needed to provide and secure the features you use, including AI feedback and investigating reported replies, as explained in the Privacy notice. BizTeach does not use your work to train its own AI models. Provider processing and retention must be described in the verified provider schedule; do not paste other people's personal or confidential information.

You are responsible for making sure that work you submit for assessment is your own, in line with the SEC's rules on academic integrity. BizTeach will not write assessed work for you, and using it to do so is a breach of these terms.

7.Our content and brand

The BizTeach name, logo, Watt the mascot, the design of the site and our notes, questions, feedback frameworks and illustrations are owned by BizTeach Ltd. or our licensors and are protected by copyright and trade mark law. You may use them for your own personal study. Any other use, including sharing our materials publicly or using them commercially, needs our written permission.

Exam questions and marking schemes referred to on BizTeach are the property of the State Examinations Commission and are used for educational purposes.

8.Accounts and paid plans

You need an account to use the platform. Keep your login details private and tell us straight away if you think someone else has used your account. Keep your own copy of important schoolwork.

Stripe handles hosted checkout and subscription management. The selected price, billing interval, any trial or promotion and renewal terms are shown before you buy. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled. Where a seven-day trial is offered, cancel in Account before it ends to avoid the following charge. Cancelling renewal and requesting a statutory refund are separate actions; the account and billing confirmation show when paid access ends.

Consumers generally have a 14-day cooling-off period for online contracts. Starting to use the platform does not, by itself, waive that right. Any applicable exception for digital content or services must meet the legal conditions and be explained before purchase. Contact support@bizteach.ie to request cancellation or a statutory remedy; subscription cancellation must not be presented as removing those rights.

If the platform is faulty or not as described, you have remedies under the Consumer Rights Act 2022, including repair, replacement, price reduction or refund. Nothing in these terms takes those rights away.

9.Availability and changes

We may change, pause or withdraw parts of the site or platform, and we may update these terms. For account holders we will give reasonable notice of significant changes, and you can close your account if you do not accept them. We aim for high availability but cannot promise the service will never be interrupted.

Encrypted backups and rehearsed database recovery help us recover after a fault. Recovery requires operator action; automatic database failover and a guaranteed recovery time are not included. These operational limits do not remove your statutory consumer rights.

10.Our responsibility to you

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded, and nothing affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

Otherwise, we are not responsible for losses that were not foreseeable when you started using the service, for business losses, or for losses caused by relying on study guidance in place of official instructions. For paid plans, our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the issue arose.

11.Links to other sites

We link to sites such as the SEC, the NCCA, news sources and support services. We are not responsible for their content or their handling of your data. Their own terms and privacy notices apply.

12.Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland, and the Irish courts have jurisdiction. If you live elsewhere in the EU you may also rely on the mandatory consumer protections of your own country and bring a claim there.

If you have a complaint, please email support@bizteach.ie first and we will try to sort it out. Consumers in Ireland can also contact the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (ccpc.ie) for advice.
