Please note the images of Products and Services on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Your Products and Services, including the packaging, may vary slightly from those images.
Both Services and Products may be sold as bundles, which comprise several Services and / or Products. The bundle components will be itemised and are sold as in the quote and / or order confirmation when you place your order.
PRODUCTS
All products are sold as itemised in the quote and / or order confirmation when you place your order.
SERVICES
All Services are sold as twelve (12) month Subscriptions. They start on 1st August and end on 31st July the following year.The Subscription fees will be as in the quote and / or order confirmation agreed with you. There are no refunds except in line with clauses 8.3, 9.1(c) and 9.2.
THE HUB
When you subscribe to any of our Services, you will be provided with access to the Hub, where you will need to create an account using a valid email address and password (“Account”) to access the Services.
Online Teacher Guides, Academy, Community – Licences and Users: You will need to purchase one licence per user (“Group User”) for each service. I.e. If you wish four teachers to have access to any or all of these Services, you will need to purchase four licences for each Service that the teacher will need to access.
Online Parent Guides – Licences and Users: Within your Hub account, you can provide free access to Parent Guides to a maximum of 60 parents or carers per class.
INSIGHTS
Licences: You will need to purchase one licence per class. I.e. If you wish to input data for six classes into Insights, you will need to purchase six licences. One class has a technical limit of forty (40) pupils. If you have classes with more than forty (40) pupils please contact us by email and we will use reasonable endeavours to increase this limit for you. Please note there may be an increase in fees for an increase in the limit for pupils per class. Once your Insights Subscription has been set up, you cannot reduce the number of classes within your Account without risking loss of data. However you can purchase and add more classes to your Insights Subscription at any time and without risking losing any data.
Users: You may set up as many internal users within your school (“Group User”) as you wish. There is a technical limit of 500 users per account, but we may be able to increase this if you notify us in writing of your need for additional Group Users.
Administrator: Whoever sets up your Account on the school’s behalf will be the “Administrator” and will be responsible for setting up and inviting more Administrators and/or Group Users to use Insights. The Administrator will be responsible for setting up Insights for your school’s (and all Group User’s use) and for inputting all the pupil basic information (this shall be pupil personal data, please see our Insights privacy policy for how this is handled) into Insights. Insights cannot provide the service it is designed to provide if the correct pupil information is not inputted into Insights. The school and the Administrator are solely responsible for inputting the correct pupil information into Insights for each pupil in each class. Fig Leaf shall not be responsible nor liable to the school for the Administrator’s failure to input the correct pupil information into Insights or for any delay in using Insights as a result of lack of pupil information or for any other reason owing to the school or Administrator’s improper use of Insights. For the avoidance of doubt no refunds on Insights Subscriptions shall be given in these circumstances.

Group Users will be able to view pupil personal data and add test scores to a pupil’s profile but will not be able to update or amend pupil personal data. The Administrator is responsible for monitoring Group Users use of Insights, revoking Group User rights and access to Group Users who no longer should have access. We may prompt the Administrator to consider removing any Group User who has been inactive for twelve (12) months. It is the Administrator’s responsibility to remove Group Users who are no longer employed/contracted by the school or who should not have access to pupil personal data for whatever reason. The Administrator is also responsible for ensuring that only authorised personnel have access to each individual pupil’s personal data.

4.1 Our acceptance of your order will take place when we email you to accept it or when you receive a notification via your account that the Product and/or Services have been purchased and you are able to commence using the Product, Services and/or your Subscription, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.
4.2 If you are a school or business, you will have the option to assign (purchase may be required for certain Products and/or Services) multiple user accounts under your account with us (“Group Account”). For each Product or Service, you will be asked to assign an administrator (“Administrator“) who will be responsible for assigning user privileges and inviting other users within the school or business (“Group User”) to register to use the GroupAccount.

4.5 If we are unable to accept your order or purchase of a Product and/or Service, we will inform you of this by email and will not charge you for the Product or Service. This might be because the Product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the Product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified. In respect of the Services this might be because of the reasons mentioned for Products or because you have not provided us with a valid email address or have not accepted our Privacy Policy or entered into a Data Processing Agreement with us.
4.6 If you have ordered a Product or Service from us, we will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

8. PROVIDING THE PRODUCTS
We try our best to fulfil orders of books that are in stock as soon as the order comes in, and the books should be with you in 3-5 days in the UK and 7-10 days in Europe depending on the postal service.
Please be aware that if you are purchasing our goods for delivery outside of the UK (whether you are a consumer or a business customer) you are importing goods into your country and are the importer of record for the purposes of the import. You are responsible for payment of all duties, taxes and handling or processing fees applicable in accordance with the importing laws and regulations of your country. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for any costs of you importing our goods into your country.
At a time of worldwide disruption such as an epidemic, pandemic or similar, we may need to hold your order until our distributors are ready to ship. This may take extra time. We may also need to cancel your order if we are unable to deliver it due to the closure of the postal/courier system owing to such disruption.
8.1 The costs of delivery will be as displayed to you on our website.
8.2 When we will provide the Products:
a) if the Products are goods we will deliver them to you as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within 30 days after the day on which we accept your order (unless otherwise agreed with you in advance).
b) we will begin providing the services on the date agreed with you during the order process.The completion date for the services is as told to you during the order process.
c) if the product is a one-off purchase of digital content (provided to you as part of a Service), we will make the digital content available for download by you as soon as we accept your order, subject to the restrictions and the licence granted to you in clause 5.1 for your use of the Services.
d) if the Service is an ongoing service provided as part of your subscription to receive digital content (“Subscription”), or under your Group Account, we will supply the Service to you until either the services are:
(i) completed or the Subscription expires (if applicable), or you end the contract as described in clause 9 or we end the contract by written notice to you as described in clause 11.
8.3 We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the Products or provision of the Services is delayed by an event outside our control, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any Products or Services you have paid for but not received.
8.4 If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the Products cannot be posted through your letterbox, we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the Products from a local depot.
8.5 If after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract and clause 11.2 will apply.
8.6 A Product which is goods will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the Product to the address you gave us or to a carrier organised by you.
8.7 You own a Product which is goods once we have received payment in full.
8.8 We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the Products to you, for example, dates and times and preferred locations of conferences and events. If so, this will have been stated in the description of the Products on our website. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 11.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the Products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
8.9 We may have to suspend the supply of a Product or Service to:
a) deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
b) update the Product or Service to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
c) make changes to the Product or Service as requested by you or notified by us to you (see clause 7).
8.10 We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the Product, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend the Product for longer than 24 continuous hours in any one month, we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for Products while they are suspended. You may contact us to end the contract for a product if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than one month and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the Product in respect of the period after you end the contract.
8.11 If you do not pay us for the Products when you are supposed to (see clause 15.5) and you still do not make payment within 30 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the Products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the Products. We will not suspend the Products where you dispute the unpaid invoice (see clause 15.9). We will not charge you for the Products during the period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending the Products we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 15.8).
9. YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
9.1 You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing, when you decide to end the contract, whether you have a Subscription or Group Account, and whether you are a consumer or business customer:
a) if what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 13 if you are a consumer and clause 14 if you are a business;
b) if you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 9.2;
c) if you are a consumer and have just changed your mind about the Product or Service, see clause 8.3. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the 14 day cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions;
d) in all other cases (if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer exercising your right to change your mind), see clause 9.6.
9.2 If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below, the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any Products or Services which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
a) we have told you about an upcoming change to the Product or Service or these terms which you do not agree to;
b) we have told you about an error in the price or description of the Product or Service you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
c) there is a risk that supply of the Products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
d) we have suspended supply of the Products or Services for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than two weeks; or
e) you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
9.3 If you are a consumer then for most Products bought online you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.
9.4 Your right as a consumer to change your mind does not apply in respect of:
a) Services after you have started to download or stream them; and
b) Services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running.
9.5 If you are a consumer how long you have to change your mind depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered:
a) If you have bought services (for example, our online training and education services or Insights our assessment centre), you have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your order. However, once we have completed the Services you cannot change your mind, even if the period is still running. If you cancel after we have started the Services, you must pay us for the services or use of the Service provided up until the time you tell us that you have changed your mind.
b) If you have bought digital content for download or streaming (one of our Services), you have 14 days after the day we email you to confirm we accept your order, or, if earlier, until you start downloading or streaming. If we delivered the digital content (as part of a Service) to you immediately, and you agreed to this when ordering, you will not have a right to change your mind.
c) If you have bought goods (for example, books), you have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery.
9.6 Even if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has a right to change their mind (see clause 9.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for a Product or digital content (i.e the Online Teacher Guides as part of a Service) is completed when it is delivered, downloaded or streamed and paid for. A contract for Services is completed when we have finished providing the services (i.e. Academy, Insights) and you have paid for them. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has changed their mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for Products not provided but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment, charge you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract early.
9.7 Where the Products or Services are to be provided to you under your Subscription or Group Account for which you make a payment to us on an annual basis, the contract will not end until 1 year after the day on which you contact us.
10. HOW TO END THE CONTRACT WITH US

10.2 If you end the contract for any reason after Products have been dispatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us. Please call customer services on +44 1892 537 706 or email us at hello@mathsnoproblem.com to discuss returning the Products to us. If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind you must send off the goods within 14 days of telling us you wish to end the contract.
10.3 We will pay the costs of return if:
a) the Products are faulty or misdescribed; or
b) you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the Product or these terms, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong.
In all other circumstances (including where you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return.
10.4 If you are responsible for the costs of return and we are collecting the Product from you, we will charge you the direct cost to us of collection.
10.5 If you are entitled to a refund under these terms we will refund you the price you paid for the Products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.
10.6 If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind:
a) We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount;
b) The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the Product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option;
c) For a Service, we may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it was supplied, ending with the time when you told us you had changed your mind. The amount will be in proportion to what has been supplied, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.
10.7 We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind then:
a) If the Products are goods and we have not offered to collect them, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the Product back from you or, if earlier, the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the Product back to us. For information about how to return a Product to us, see clause 10.2;
b) In all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind.
11. OUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
11.1 We may end the contract at any time by writing to you if:
a) you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within 14 days of us reminding you that payment is due;
b) you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the Products, for example, the email address for the Group Account administrator or the address for delivery of the Products;
c) you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the Products to you or collect them from us;
d) you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us access to your premises to supply the services; or
e) Individual log-in details are shared with anyone else.
11.2 If we end the contract in the situations set out in clause 11.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for Products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.
11.3 We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing the Product. We will let you know at least one month in advance of our stopping the supply of the Product and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for Products which will not be provided.

14.5 These terms shall apply to any repaired or replacement Products supplied by us under clause 14.2.

a) for Subscription users, annually in advance; or
b) for Group Users, annually in advance to the Group Account; or

15.2 The price of the Product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order.

However please see clause 15.4 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Product you order.
15.3 If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the Product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
15.4 It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the Product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the Product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
