a. Free access
Teachers and educational institutions pay no fees to use the platform. Student subscriptions are the sole source of collection.
b. The tier system
Every teacher and educational institution is subject to an automatic tier system based on the number of students registered under them who have paid their subscriptions. The user does not choose their tier; everyone starts at the lowest tier and moves up automatically as their student numbers grow.
Each tier has a defined numerical range and its own Cash Back percentage, as set out in the schedule approved and published by Tafaal, which forms an integral part of these Terms.
Activation: an account is not considered Active until the upper limit of the first tier’s student count is reached. Until then, registered students remain in Pending status with no access to content and with no financial claim against them. Once activated, the payment page becomes available to all of that account’s students.
Moving up: on exceeding the upper limit of the current tier, the account moves automatically to the next tier. The new percentage applies only to students registered after the move, while earlier students keep the percentage of the tier during which they registered, with no retroactive effect.
Moving down: if the number of paying students falls:
- In the first tier: the account stops accepting new students until the required number is met
- In higher tiers: the account moves automatically to the tier below, and its percentage applies to new students from that point
In all cases, the accounts of paying students remain active until the end of their term, unaffected by any change to the teacher’s or institution’s tier.
Discretionary exception: we may, at our sole discretion, activate an account that has not reached the required number where it is close to doing so, upon a request submitted to us, without this creating any vested right or binding precedent.
c. Access to content
Content is available to the teacher or educational institution immediately upon registration, while students registered under them have no access to content and no financial claim against them until the account is activated.
d. Failure to reach the required number
A warning notice is sent by email or WhatsApp. We may, at our discretion, extend the grace period. Where the notice is repeated without the required number being reached, we may deactivate the account.
e. Effect on students
Students registered under an account that has not been activated have paid nothing, and may move and register under another teacher or educational institution with no financial obligation.
f. Continuity of student subscriptions
If a teacher or educational institution stops using the platform for any reason after activation, the accounts of students who have paid their subscriptions remain fully active until the end of their term, entirely unaffected.
g. Responsibility for the referral code and for accepting students
Each teacher and educational institution is issued their own referral code, and bears sole responsibility for safeguarding it and for determining who may use it.
No student is added to the account automatically; registration requests remain in Pending status until the code holder expressly accepts them. By accepting a request, the holder confirms that the student is genuinely theirs and that they bear responsibility for that acceptance.
The Company is not answerable for any leak or sharing of the code, nor for a teacher’s or institution’s acceptance of students who are not theirs, nor for any dispute arising between them and such students or their parents.
In all cases, the account of a student who has paid their subscription remains active until the end of its term, as they have received the full contracted service, and no right of refund arises from this. The parent retains the right to take such action as they see fit against the teacher or institution in breach.
We may issue a warning notice on a first breach, and deactivate or terminate the account where repeated complaints are received regarding the breach. We also reserve the right to take the same action without complaints in cases of serious breach, including the registration of fictitious or non-genuine accounts in order to reach the required number.
