Your continued use of the service or the website after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to abide by these or any new Terms and Conditions, do not use or access (or continue to use or access) the service or the website.

The SentenceBuilders website uses cookies, including third party cookies.

Please see our privacy policy for more information.

SentenceBuilders provides users with access to various browser-based interactive exercises, based on a combination of our own content and user-defined content. SentenceBuilders subscribers can create their own resources for their own use and/or for the use of other SentenceBuilders users, including other SentenceBuilders subscribers. SentenceBuilders subscribers and other SentenceBuilders users can access non-private resources (as defined on the SentenceBuilders website) uploaded by other SentenceBuilders subscribers. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features of the Service will be subject to these Terms and Conditions.

If you subscribe to SentenceBuilders, your username will be used to identify you as the contributor of any resource which you upload to the SentenceBuilders website as a public resource. Please note that your password is stored in an encrypted form and we (the SentenceBuilders team) do not have access to it. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or username. You agree to (a) immediately notify SentenceBuilders of any unauthorised use of your password or account and any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your account at the end of each session. SentenceBuilders cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this obligation. Any other information such as name, employer etc will not be made available to any third party.

Please note that SentenceBuilders does not handle or store any data related to the financial transaction involved in paying for an annual subscription. Subscription payments are handled entirely by Stripe.

Subscription to SentenceBuilders is a one-off payment for one year's access to the services available as part of your subscription model, as detailed on the SentenceBuilders website. There is no recurring billing. It is up to you to renew your subscription at the end of your subscription period (although we will send you a reminder a week before your subscription ends).

A subscription is intended for a school, NOT a group of individual teachers. Licensing is limited to one geographical site and cannot be shared with partner schools etc.

The specific features of our various subscription options are detailed on the pricing page of the SentenceBuilders website.

By subscribing to SentenceBuilders, you accept that any resources that you upload to SentenceBuilders during your subscription period will only be available while your subscription is in effect. Once your subscription expires, these resources will no longer be accessible on the SentenceBuilders website by you. If you decide to renew your subscription after it has expired, your resources will become available again.

It is up to you to ensure that your subscription matches your needs for the whole term of the subscription. It is possible to increase the number of teachers and / or students included in your subscription during the term, but you can only do this by contacting us and requesting an increase, requiring us to send you a Stripe invoice (payable by credit card). Please note that if you do do this, you will be charged a minimum of £20 GBP.

Please note that once you have subscribed to SentenceBuilders, the subscription fee is non-refundable.

One feature of the SentenceBuilders website is the ability to upload and exchange lawful, relevant, fair and appropriate text content.

Please note that all Content (including private resources) that you upload to SentenceBuilders may be monitored by the SentenceBuilders team. SentenceBuilders reserves the right to modify resources that are uploaded as public resources, but we will only do this in order to improve the layout or to correct grammatical inaccuracies in the uploaded content, with the aim of improving the experience of other SentenceBuilders users. We may also add tags and additional information to resources uploaded as public resources, in order to make these resources easier to find and to improve the browsing / searching experience of other SentenceBuilders users. SentenceBuilders reserves the right to change the resource-type of any resource (e.g. from public to private) or remove any Content from the Website, without any liability to you or a third party.

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold SentenceBuilders harmless from and against any and all liability, losses, costs, claims and expenses incurred directly or indirectly (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with or arising out of your violation of these Terms and Conditions, any applicable law or regulation or the rights of any third parties related to the use of the Content, the SentenceBuilders website, Service and tools. This indemnity includes both any liability to third parties, and other costs and losses incurred by SentenceBuilders.

With respect to all Content that you upload to the SentenceBuilders website as "public" resources, you grant SentenceBuilders a royalty-free, non-exclusive right and licence to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute and display such Content (in whole or part) worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed, in connection with services offered or to be offered by SentenceBuilders.

The foregoing license granted by you terminates as to a specific piece of Content once you remove or delete such Content from the SentenceBuilders website provided, however, that user rights to such Content arising out of distributions occurring on or prior to deletion of such Content from the SentenceBuilders website survive any termination or expiration of the license granted in this section.

You represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to any Content that you upload to SentenceBuilders and can grant the rights set out above. You represent, warrant and undertake that: (i) use of the Content will not infringe the rights of any third parties (including that the Content or material is not defamatory); and (ii) you have obtained all rights and consents that are necessary for you to provide the Content; and (iii) you will immediately remove and notify us of any Content that does not comply with these Terms and Conditions or may infringe the rights of third parties.
