THE PLATFORM

The Service

Resources for Teaching is a subscription-based online community devoted to the creation of high-quality, printable teaching resources; we refer to this as the ‘Service’. Our resources are distributed predominantly via https://resourcesforteaching.com.au, which we refer to as the ‘Website’.

Subscriber Service

To gain access to our platform of resources, you must pay the Resources for Teaching Subscription Fee. Upon receipt of the Subscription Fee, Resources for Teaching grants the Subscriber a non-exclusive, non-transferable Licence to use the Resources during the Term in accordance with the Permitted Uses and as otherwise set forth in this Licence. For purposes of clarity, payment of a Subscription Fee to Resources for Teaching grants access to a single user only. 

Member Accounts

There are sections of the Resources for Teaching website that may require registration and personal information. By doing so, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as prompted by the applicable registration form; and (b) maintain and promptly update any such identifying data via email in order to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete.

The Internet is an insecure network. Nonetheless, the Resources for Teaching team will take precautions to protect all personal information collected via the website in accordance with stringent data protection standards. Your confidentiality is of utmost importance to us. More information is available in our Privacy Policy.
