We have the right to disable any user identification code or password, whether chosen by you or allocated by us, at any time, if in our reasonable opinion you have failed to comply with any of the provisions of these terms of use.
If you know or suspect that anyone other than you knows your user identification code or password, you must promptly notify us at info@veritysmathsplace.co.uk.
Platform access
Where we provide you with access to our online tutoring platform or learning portal (the "Platform"), the following additional terms apply:
Access to the Platform is granted solely for the purpose of receiving tutoring services that you have purchased from us.
Your access credentials are personal to you and must not be shared with any other person.
You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Platform access if you breach these terms or our Tutoring Terms and Conditions.
To access the Platform, you will need a compatible device — such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone — and an up-to-date web browser. We recommend using a current version of a major browser such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge.
If you take part in online tutoring sessions, you will also need:
A reliable internet connection with sufficient speed to support live video calls.
A working camera and microphone.
Any specific software or applications we notify you about in advance.

We recommend testing your connection and equipment before your first online session. If you use a separate online tutoring or video platform, please also check that provider's own technical requirements.
While we use reasonable efforts to ensure the Platform is available, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Platform may be unavailable due to:
Scheduled maintenance (we will provide advance notice where possible).
Technical issues beyond our control.
Third-party service provider outages.
Security incidents requiring temporary suspension.
If technical issues prevent a scheduled tutoring session from taking place, we will work with you to reschedule in accordance with our Tutoring Terms and Conditions. We are not liable for any indirect losses caused by Platform unavailability.
Prohibited uses of the Platform
You must not use the Platform to:
Harass, abuse, or harm others.
Share inappropriate, offensive, or illegal content.
Attempt to gain unauthorised access to other users' accounts or data.
Use automated tools, bots, or scripts to interact with the Platform.
Interfere with the proper functioning of the Platform.

Breach of these provisions may result in immediate termination of your Platform access and your tutoring arrangement, without refund.
