TERMS OF USE

IMPORTANT NOTE: ONLY A PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN OF, OR AUTHORISED STAFF MEMBER IN RELATION TO, THE CHILD PARTICIPATING IN THE eSMART DIGITAL LICENCE+ PROGRAM MAY AGREE TO THESE TERMS

By activating the eSmart Digital Licence+ program, you are entering into a legally binding agreement with The Alannah and Madeline Foundation Limited (ACN 090 752 800) as trustee of The Alannah and Madeline Foundation (AMF, we, us and our). In consideration of us granting access to the eSmart Digital Licence+ program to you and/or any child for whom you register and activate an account (each, a participating child), you agree to be bound by and abide by these terms of use (Terms).

  1. Overview of eSmart Digital Licence+ program
    1. The purpose of the eSmart Digital Licence+ program is to offer a gamified eLearning experience to build digital intelligence, focusing on building knowledge and skills across areas including technology use, cyber risk management, cyber security and online cultures.
    2. Participating children will be issued with a ‘Digital Licence’ on the successful completion of all applicable modules. To avoid any doubt, a ‘Digital Licence’ constitutes a certificate for the successful completion of the applicable modules and does not constitute or give effect to a permission or the grant or conferral of any rights.
    3. In order for a child to access the eSmart Digital Licence+ program (and to obtain a ‘Digital Licence’ certifying the child’s successful completion of the applicable modules), a parent or legal guardian of the child, or an authorised member of staff of the school, library or other organisation through which the child is participating, must activate the eSmart Digital Licence+ program for the child in accordance with section 2.
  2. Activation of user account
    1. You activate the eSmart Digital Licence+ program for a child by:
      1. entering or uploading all of the required details into the eSmart Digital Licence+ program though the registration process; and
      2. making any payment for the child’s participation (if applicable) under section 3.
    2. When activating the eSmart Digital Licence+ program for a child, you must provide accurate, complete and up-to-date information as requested during the registration process (including in relation to that child).
    3. In activating the eSmart Digital Licence+ program for a child, you warrant that:
      1. you are either:
        1. a parent or legal guardian of the child; or
        2. an educator or other person acting on behalf of an organisation who is authorised by that organisation to activate the eSmart Digital Licence+ program;
      2. you will supervise the child at all times during their participation in the eSmart Digital Licence+ program , or ensure that another appropriate adult supervises that participation; and
      3. if you are not the child’s parent or legal guardian, you have obtained, from a parent or legal guardian of that child:
        1. all necessary consents required by law (including privacy laws) to permit you to activate the eSmart Digital Licence+ program for the child and to permit us to collect and disclose personal information in accordance with section 12; and
        2. confirmation in writing that the parent or legal guardian will supervise the child’s participation in the eSmart Digital Licence+ program, and will comply with section 5 of these Terms, to the extent that the child participates at home rather than at school.
    4. Once you have entered or uploaded a child’s details into the eSmart Digital Licence+ program in order to activate their account, a licence seat is allocated to that child and you cannot have that account transferred to another child or be refunded any payment based on a change of mind or because that child is no longer going to participate in the eSmart Digital Licence+ program.
  3. Payment
    1. If you are required to pay for any child’s participation in the eSmart Digital Licence+ program (rather than the child’s participation being funded through a corporate or other donation), then you will not be able to activate the eSmart Digital Licence+ program until your payment has been successful.
    2. You agree that either any amount payable for any child’s participation in the eSmart Digital Licence+ program, as displayed during the registration and payment process, will be deducted from your nominated credit card or you will be issued with an invoice which you will be obliged to pay before that child may participate.
    3. If you nominate credit card as your payment method during the registration and payment process, you:
      1. authorise us to disclose your credit card details to, and obtain information from, any financial institution or credit card issuer to verify the credit card and identification details that you provide;
      2. authorise your credit card issuer or financial institution to verify that the credit card and identification details you have provided to us are accurate; and
      3. agree that, if payment in full is not received from your card issuer or its agents for any reason, you must pay us all amounts due on demand.
    4. If you nominate another payment method during the registration and payment process, you must pay the amount of the invoice issued by us in the manner, and within the timeframe, specified in the invoice.
    5. If an amount payable by you for participation in the eSmart Digital Licence+ program is not specified on a GST-inclusive basis and GST is imposed on the grant of the licence to you under these terms, the amount of the fee will be increased by, and you must also pay to us, an amount equal to the GST payable by us on that supply.
