Nessy

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE CREATING A NESSY ACCOUNT OR PURCHASING FROM NESSY. BY REGISTERING OR PURCHASING YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

A Nessy Account

You create a Nessy Account when you purchase or register. Creation of a Nessy Account will require you to enter some personal information including your name and a valid email. You will receive a confirmation email with the Secret Word used to log in. Parents, including those who home school, are required to have an individual Nessy account and not to share the same account with other parents. A school must have an individual Nessy account and not to share the same account with other schools. A school is defined as an educational institution providing a learning environment for students under the direction of teachers. A private tutor, home school parent or home school group is not regarded as a school for the purposes of this definition. A professional private practice providing educational services and registered as a company or charity, is regarded as a school under this definition.

How is Nessy complying with data protection regulations?

Nessy complies with GDPR and has a clear privacy policy which is displayed wherever personal data is captured. The privacy policy details the data collected and how it is used. Nessy acts as a data processor and the school or parent acts as the data controller.  It is the responsibility of the school to ensure parental permission for a student to use the Nessy platform has been given. The Nessy Parent Portal gives parents the choice of consenting and the option to remove that consent. A verifiable record of this consent is maintained. The steps that we have been taking to protect data and restrictions upon how that data is shared are outlined in the privacy policy.

Registering For a Free Trial

By registering for a trial there is no obligation to purchase but you agree to be contacted by Nessy. A free trial is available one time only and the same person or school may not register for another trial under a different email. Registering as a parent limits the trial to a single player per account. Registering as a school limits the trial to 30 players. Home schools or private tutors are required to register as a parent. If you no longer wish to receive emails from Nessy then this will require the deletion of the registered account.

About a Nessy Subscription

Each Nessy Subscription requires an individual purchase which must be made from Nessy.com. A Nessy Subscription can be played both at home and school by logging in with the Nessy Account email and password. You may not use a Nessy Subscription if you do not have an active subscription. You may not share, transfer, resell, or assign your Nessy Subscription or any of the licences which are part of the subscription.

A Nessy subscription will automatically renew at the end of the subscription period. Nessy will send a renewal reminder prior to the expiration, giving the subscriber the opportunity to cancel before renewal. The renewal amount may be different from the initial cost.

Monthly Recurring Payments

Selecting to pay ‘monthly’ means you agree to be automatically charged each month thereafter until you cancel it. It is your responsibility to stop this recurring payment. If not cancelled, you will be charged each month on the calendar day corresponding to the day you made the first order. A recurring payment can be cancelled up to 3 business days prior to the date the payment is scheduled to take place. To cancel a PayPal Recurring Payment, log into your PayPal account, access the “Profile” tab, click the “My money” tab, then “My Pre-Approved Payments” link, select ‘Nessy Learning’ and follow the instructions to cancel. If you forgot to cancel the payment and wish to be refunded please contact Nessy customer support. Once refunded, your Nessy account will be disabled. Credit card payments may not automatically renew each month depending upon the card issuer.

Purchase Securely

At Nessy we take your security very seriously and make your use of Nessy.com and the Nessy Subscription as safe as possible. When you checkout and pay for your products you temporarily leave our website and are transferred to online ordering services powered by PayPal or Stripe. No PayPal account is necessary to make a purchase. When payment is complete you are returned to our website and your subscription will become active, ready for immediate use. No credit or debit card details are stored nor do we share customer details with any 3rd parties.

Purchase Orders

Ordering using a Purchase Order is available for UK Schools only. Please supply a valid email to enable the creation of a Nessy Account and allow 24 hours for the purchase order to be reviewed and approved. Upon approval you will receive email confirmation and a 30-day invoice. Access to the Nessy Subscription will be suspended for unpaid invoices falling outside the 30-day term.

Refunds and Cancellations

You may cancel your order up to 14 days from the date of purchase. Refunds are usually processed the same day but allow up to 14 days under the Consumer Contracts Regulations. Access to a cancelled subscription will be stopped as soon as the refund is processed. Physical goods must be returned at the buyers own expense and must be in good condition. A refund will be processed upon the day they are received.

Where a subscription has automatically renewed and the customer no longer wishes to continue the subscription, a full refund will be issued upon meeting the condition that the program subscribed to has not been used since the renewal.
