By using the Site and/or the Services, the User ensures and declares that said User has sufficient capacity to be bound in accordance with the legislation of the User's place of residence or nationality.

In the event of minor users of the service, there will be his/her legal representative who ensures that he/she has such power to be bound by these terms and conditions on the minor user's behalf and who assumes the obligations arising from this agreement.

Rights and/or credits contracted by the User shall not be transferable to a third party, except for declaration of express conformity of transmission by SAH.

The contract between the party concerned and SAH is formalised only by the action of Registration on the Website and upon acceptance expressed in these Terms.

The formalisation of the contract of use with SAH will be held as follows.

The User of the Academy service requests the formalization of a contract for the use of the website by completing, confirming and sending the registration form and after having accepted the Privacy Policy and the present Terms. The system will collect this record and the IP of the User and will send a confirmation generated automatically by the system to the indicated email address.

By sending the link, a contract will be formalised between SAH and the user for the use of services themselves.

For the use of the services, registration of data is required by filling in all the data requested on the Registration Page, creating a user name and a password.

Only a person of legal age and full capacity to be bound to the terms required to do so by legislation is applicable to the case. Underage students will need to send an e-mail attaching authorization from their legal tutors.

By using the Site and/or the Services, the User ensures and declares that said User has sufficient capacity to be bound in accordance with the legislation of the User's place of residence or nationality.

1. The User - who will acquire such status following the procedure described in paragraph 2.2 of the present terms - can subscribe by payment of the rates, the services offered by SAH in the terms as detailed later in this agreement.
2. The User is solely responsible for the confidentiality of the username and the corresponding password. So the User will be fully responsible for any use that is made of the service provided by SAH through access with said User's username and password.
3. SAH may restrict or prevent access to services without prior notice if:

• The user seriously violates any of these terms of Use or the rights of intellectual or industrial property of SAH.
• The user uses the service for illegal or criminal activity.
• There is the suspicion of unauthorized use of a user name or password.
• There is a default or chargeback of a subscription.
• There is a fraudulent or abusive use in the acquisition of the trial class.

All services offered by SAH will be made Online via Skype. SAH does not offer, in any form, on-site services.

The service will be provided by native teachers of the language requested by the User among those offered by SAH.

The User acquires credits that may be redeemed for services via Skype according to time and the credit determined for each course.

Such credits will have a validity of one year. Therefore, if after this period, the credits have not been used, the User accepts that the right to use them has been lost and expressly consents that he/she renounces any claim for any restitution of amounts corresponding to appropriations not used within that period.

Once a subscription is paid, the User acquires credits that may be used in the timetable that suits the User based on the availability of teachers at the time requested by the User.

Upon Request of a lesson by the User for a time and date, SAH will show the User available teachers and their hours of availability from which the user can choose one to schedule a lesson.

Lessons will be reserved by the user through the portal, given required minimum prior notice set specifically for each of the teachers at the time of reservation.

The User expressly acknowledges the impossibility of SAH to monitor lessons, both for technical reasons and for reasons derived from the proper policy of strict compliance with the legislation on Data Protection.

Both parties, SAH and the user may cancel the appointment without penalty with a minimum notice of 12 hours beforehand.

The appointment cancellation method:

• For the User, through the use of the portal within the personal account that has been assigned.
• For SAH, through the sending of an email to the User's email provided at the time of registration. Or by sending a text message to the Skype account provided by the User at the time of registration.

The User agrees to be connected with the skype account provided at registration, on the date and time of the reserved lesson. Where the student is not timely, the Teacher is not obligated to extend the lesson in which the student was absent.

The lesson shall be understood to have been given and service provided if after 10 minutes for 30-minute classes or 15 minutes for one-hour classes from the agreed time.

If upon arrival of the lesson, the teacher is not available or connected, the User is obliged to send an email to contact@speakingathome.com, notifying SAH of the incidence. SAH, once confirming the incidence, will proceed to refund the User of the credits corresponding to the lesson reserved and not provided.

The suspension of a lesson under the terms of the previous paragraph does not suspend the period of validity of one year set for the credits.

Cancellation by major force or incident:

• In a case in which the User is unable to attend a lesson by reason of major force or incident of an exceptional nature, the User will notify SAH promptly via email with a maximum period of 24 hours with the reasons and circumstances that prevented the User's attendance and to provide as much evidence as possible.

In case of a circumstance by SAH, after consultation with the TEACHER, credits for the lesson not given will be returned. This is without any implication of the suspension of the period of validity of paragraph 4.1 of the present terms and conditions.

• In case of default by the teacher by reason of major force or incident, SAH will impart to the User the reason provided by the teacher for the failure to appear, and in any case will return to the User credit for the lesson not given.

The price payable by the User to access the services is determined according to the contracted hours and the duration of the lessons.

The specific fee amounts will be detailed on the page of Rates on the portal at the time of the acquisition of credits.

The modification of the page Rates will not affect existing appropriations and those not consumed by the User.

In the subscription mode, this will be done for monthly renewable periods automatically at expiration with the corresponding charge in the form chosen by the User.

The subscription may be canceled at any time at least 5 days before the end of the subscribed period. The User may request the cancellation of the subscription, directly from his personal area on the Web without alleging any cause, without penalty and without having to give up the contracted classes and not taught in the terms set forth in the previous paragraph.

• Bizum
• Wire transfer. (Payment will only be considered made from the moment of receipt of the transfer by SAH)

Text, music, images, drawings or graphic, artistic and intellectual expression entered by users will be your sole responsibility.

Given the nature of the service, SAH is unable to control the content provided by Users, and thus the User acknowledges this fact by agreeing to these Terms. The User expressly accepts any liability of the type that is derived from the elements introduced in the format.

User expressly acknowledges that SAH only provides an instrument in which the elements introduced by the User will be its absolute and full responsibility and that SAH is unable to control such elements...

SAH reserves the right to suspend or to unsubscribe the user that uses or introduces any of the mentioned contents. Any remaining portion of the subscription will not be refundable in this case.

In any case, it it will be understood that there is a reasonable suspicion under the terms of the preceding paragraphs about which SAH was warned by third parties, holders or against the rights, of the existence of any of the acts mentioned in the preceding paragraphs. This excludes cases in which this warning could be deduced without a doubt to lack foundation.

Discharge and exclusion from the service is reversible, once it is proven that suspicion lacked foundation. In no case does the User have rights to indemnification. By agreeing to these Terms, the User expressly renounces any right to claim any type of indemnification for this case.

SAH, among their complementary services, facilitates the possibility that lessons can be recorded by the TEACHER in order to subsequently send such recording to the User.

Because SAH does not take part in the act of recording, it cannot guarantee completion, which is conditioned on the availability and functioning of the technical means or connection necessary for the User and TEACHER of said recording. Means to which SAH has no access.

The User recognises that the recording of lessons will be exclusively upon express request by the User at the time of the request for the recording and the terms set out in the SAH privacy policy. The recording will be done and will be sent to you directly by the TEACHER. And it will only be used for provision to the User, as a means of analysis of the quality of the service provided or case of conflict among any of the following: User, Teacher, SAH.

The User expressly acknowledges that SAH does not store the recordings on their servers or have direct access to them. And that any claim or exercise of rights to said recording, its content or use outside these terms and conditions should be addressed to the teacher on whose computer the file of the recording is stored.

For delivery of the recording, the User must put at the disposal of the teacher, who will be in possession of the recording, a mechanism of cloud storage arranged for that purpose or by maintaining connection with the teacher for a duration sufficient for the transmission of the file via Skype on the time and date determined by the teacher.

Recording of the lesson will not involve any additional charge in credits purchased by the User.

One month after the recording without any complaint or claim on a class, the TEACHER is obliged by contract to delete the recordings under his sole responsibility. Without from that moment its recovery is possible.

SAH, in its intention to publicize its service, can offer the possibility of accessing a free trial class to new students without implying any obligation or commitment on the part of SAH beyond that one class.

To access and enjoy this free class, the student must complete the registration steps set out in these Terms and Conditions and in the Web Privacy Policy.

Each person can enjoy a single free trial class of the service. The non-presentation of the student or any technical problem occurred during the class does not generate the right to a new free class unless expressly stated otherwise by SAH.

SAH will offer 2 free half-hour lessons to the user who invites another user to register and take a free trial lesson on the SAH platform, and at the same time, this invited user makes a purchase of at least 10 half-hour or 1-hour English lessons.

In order for the free trial lesson to be added to the user's account, it will be an indispensable condition to do so through the procedure established by SAH on its platform and through the unique invitation URL that each user will have.

There will be a limit of 2 months for a registered user to report the URL of the user who invited him/her, if he/she has not done so.

A new user can only be invited by a single user already registered in the SAH service and there will be a limit of 50 free lessons obtained by invitation per user per month. These free lessons obtained by invitation will expire after one year.

Excluded from this promotion are SAH users who work in a company and invite employees of that company, requesting both company invoice for their purchase.

SAH will have the right to suspend this promotion on any user who makes an abusive use of this promotion.

SAH allows the option to pre-purchase class vouchers to be used at a later date by another user who registers at a later date. The purchase of the class voucher will provide a code and a pdf that informs of the gift and how to enjoy it.

The user receiving the gift will need to follow the instructions outlined in the gift pdf.

The class vouchers will have an expiration date of 1 year from the registration of the user who received the gift vouchers, and this user will have 6 months to be able to register and get the classes of his gift.

SAH may arrange for voluntary tournaments among web users. Standard tournaments and prizes will be:

• Weekly tournament. The student who finishes more classes during the week counting from 00:00 on Monday to 00:00 on the following Monday, will get a half hour class.
• Quarterly tournament. The student who finishes more classes during the quarter will get a voucher of 10 half hour classes.
• Annual tournament. The student who completes the most classes during the year will receive a voucher for 40 half-hour classes.

Tournament start and end time zones will be CET and CEST depending on the current time zone in Central Europe.

A class is considered completed only when the student has completed the half hour, or the corresponding hour. For the calculation of the tournament, half hour classes add up to 30, and 1 hour classes add up to 60. Classes in which the student has not attended, or could not be completed for any reason, do not count as a completed class.

In case of a tie, the user who has taught the most completed classes in the past from the day of the end of the tournament until the time of registration as a user will be awarded the prize. The communication of the winner of the tournament will be made both by e-mail and in the section of the platform dedicated to tournaments.

Participation in the tournaments will not entail any cost for the user.

The acceptance of the terms and conditions will imply the default participation of the user in the 3 tournaments (weekly, quarterly and annual), although the user will have the option to unsubscribe from the participation of the tournaments from his profile on the Speakingathome platform.

SAH shall have the right to suspend or resume the tournaments for technical or other reasons.

The result of the tournament will be published 5 calendar days after the end of the tournament.
