Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 29 June 2026

1. About these Terms

These Terms & Conditions (Terms) govern your access to and use of the Summit Learning platform, websites, applications and related services (together, the Service), operated by the proprietor trading as Summit Learning (Summit Learning, we, us or our), ABN 32 691 358 880. By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

These Terms form a binding agreement between us and the person who registers for or pays for the Service (you, the account holder or parent), who must be an adult aged 18 or over.

2. Acceptance & eligibility

The Service is intended to be used by school-aged children (the student) under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian. You may only create an account and accept these Terms if you are at least 18 years old and are the parent or legal guardian of, or otherwise have lawful authority to act for, the student.

You agree that any student accessing the Service through your account does so with your permission and under your supervision, and you accept these Terms on the student's behalf.

3. Accounts & parental responsibility

  • You are responsible for keeping your login details, and any student login details (such as a username and PIN), confidential, and for all activity that occurs under your account.
  • You are responsible for supervising the student's use of the Service, including the amount of screen time, the suitability of the content for your child, and the device, internet connection and environment in which the Service is used.
  • You must provide accurate, current and complete information when registering and keep it up to date.
  • You must notify us promptly of any unauthorised use of your account.

4. The service we provide

The Service provides online practice activities, quizzes, progress tracking and related educational tools aligned to broad curriculum areas. The Service is a supplementary practice and revision aid only. It is not a school, not a registered training organisation, not a substitute for classroom teaching, tutoring by a qualified teacher, or formal assessment, and it does not guarantee any particular educational outcome, grade, mark or result.

5. Fees, billing & trials

  • Fees for paid plans are displayed at the point of sign-up and may be charged on a recurring basis (for example monthly) until cancelled.
  • By providing a payment method you authorise us (and our payment processor) to charge the applicable fees, including recurring fees, to that payment method.
  • Free trials, if offered, convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period unless cancelled beforehand. We will tell you the trial length at sign-up.
  • We may change our fees on reasonable notice. Changes will not affect the period you have already paid for.
  • All fees are in Australian dollars and, unless stated otherwise, are inclusive of GST where applicable.

6. Cancellation & refunds

You may cancel a subscription at any time, effective at the end of the current billing period; you will retain access until then. Except where required by the Australian Consumer Law (see clause 12) or expressly stated by us in writing, fees already paid are non-refundable and we are not required to provide a pro-rata refund for a partial billing period.

7. Acceptable use

You and the student must not:

  • use the Service in any way that breaches any law or infringes anyone's rights;
  • copy, reproduce, scrape, distribute, resell, sublicense or commercially exploit any part of the Service or its content except as expressly permitted;
  • attempt to gain unauthorised access to, interfere with, or disrupt the Service, its servers or networks, or circumvent any security or access controls;
  • share account access with anyone outside your household, or use the Service on behalf of any other family, school or organisation without our written agreement;
  • upload or transmit any malicious code, or any unlawful, harmful, infringing or objectionable material;
  • use any automated system, bot or data-mining tool in connection with the Service.

We may investigate and take any action we reasonably consider appropriate for a suspected breach, including suspending or terminating access (see clause 17).

8. Intellectual property

All intellectual property rights in the Service and its content — including the software, design, text, questions, activities, graphics, logos and branding — are owned by or licensed to Summit Learning and are protected by law. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Service and its content solely for the personal, non-commercial educational use of the student in your household, in accordance with these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. You must not remove or alter any proprietary notices.

9. Educational content disclaimer

While we take care in preparing our content, education materials and curriculum alignment can vary by jurisdiction and change over time. We do not warrant that the content is complete, current, error-free, or aligned to any specific school, syllabus, examination or curriculum authority. The content is general in nature and is provided for practice purposes only. You are responsible for deciding whether it is suitable for your child and for verifying anything you intend to rely on. The Service does not provide individual educational, psychological, medical or other professional advice.

10. Third-party services

The Service relies on third-party providers (for example hosting, database, payment and font or content-delivery providers). We are not responsible for third-party services, and your use of them may be subject to their own terms. Links to third-party sites are provided for convenience only and do not imply endorsement.

11. Availability & changes

We aim to keep the Service available but do not guarantee it will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free. The Service is provided on an as is and as available basis. We may modify, suspend or discontinue all or part of the Service, or these Terms, at any time. If we make a material change to these Terms we will take reasonable steps to notify you (for example by email or an in-Service notice), and your continued use after the change takes effect constitutes acceptance.

12. Warranties & your consumer rights

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy that you have under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (including the Australian Consumer Law) or any other law to the extent that it cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified (a non-excludable right). If we breach a non-excludable right, our liability for that breach is limited, to the maximum extent permitted by law and at our option, to:

  • in the case of services — resupplying the services or paying the cost of having the services resupplied; and
  • in the case of goods — replacing or repairing the goods, supplying equivalent goods, or paying the cost of doing so.

Except for the non-excludable rights, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all other representations, warranties, guarantees and conditions, whether express or implied, in relation to the Service.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, and subject to clause 12:

  • we (and our officers, employees, contractors and suppliers) will not be liable to you or any student for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss or damage, or for any loss of profits, revenue, opportunity, goodwill, data, or anticipated savings, arising out of or in connection with the Service or these Terms, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), under statute or otherwise, even if we were advised of the possibility of such loss;
  • our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or in connection with the Service or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the total fees you actually paid to us for the Service in the three (3) months immediately before the event giving rise to the liability, or (b) AUD $100;
  • we are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including internet or device failures, third-party outages, or force majeure.

Each part of this clause operates separately. If any part is held to be unenforceable, the remaining parts continue to apply.

14. Assumption of risk

You acknowledge and agree that use of an online learning service involves inherent risks, including reliance on internet connectivity and devices, exposure to screens, and the possibility of errors in automated content or scoring. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you assume responsibility for the student's use of the Service and for supervising that use, and you accept these risks on your own behalf and on behalf of the student.

15. Indemnity

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you indemnify and agree to keep indemnified Summit Learning and its officers, employees and contractors against all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal costs) suffered or incurred by any of them arising out of or in connection with:

  • your or the student's use of the Service;
  • your or the student's breach of these Terms or of any law; or
  • any negligent, wilful or fraudulent act or omission by you or the student,

except to the extent that the liability, loss, damage, cost or expense was directly caused by our own negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct, or arises from a non-excludable right. Your liability under this indemnity is reduced proportionally to the extent that our act or omission contributed to the relevant liability.

16. Privacy

We handle personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. Because the Service is used by children, we take additional care with children's personal information consistent with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and applicable codes. By using the Service you consent to our collection and handling of personal information as described in the Privacy Policy.

17. Suspension & termination

We may suspend or terminate your or the student's access to the Service immediately if you breach these Terms, if we are required to do so by law, or if we reasonably consider it necessary to protect the Service, other users or any person. You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. On termination, the licence in clause 8 ends and you must stop using the Service. Clauses intended to survive termination (including clauses 8, 9, 12–16, 18 and 19) survive.

18. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [INSERT YOUR STATE — e.g. New South Wales / Victoria / Queensland], Australia, and you and we submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that State and the courts competent to hear appeals from them.

19. General

  • Entire agreement: these Terms (with the Privacy Policy and any plan details shown at sign-up) are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service and supersede all prior arrangements.
  • Severance: if any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it is read down or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the rest remains in force.
  • Waiver: a failure or delay by us in exercising a right is not a waiver of that right.
  • Assignment: you may not assign your rights under these Terms without our consent. We may assign or novate our rights and obligations (for example on a sale of the business) on notice to you.
  • No agency: nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, employment or agency relationship between you and us.

Important — not legal advice. This document is a template prepared to a high standard but it is not legal advice and has not been reviewed by an Australian lawyer. Before you rely on it at launch, have it reviewed by a qualified legal practitioner and complete the items marked [INSERT …] (governing-law state, business/contact details). Some protections (especially around consumer guarantees and harm to children) cannot be excluded under Australian law no matter what these Terms say.
