Terms of Use
About these terms
These terms are the agreement between you and SimuLearn (“we”, “us”), an education initiative of Adsoft Online Ltd., which operates SimuLearn and is the company that contracts with you and controls your data, for using simulearn.org and app.simulearn.org. By creating an account or using the app you accept them and our Privacy Notice. If you use SimuLearn through a course or programme, you also follow your lecturer’s course rules. Questions: hello@simulearn.org.
What SimuLearn is
SimuLearn is an educational simulation. The businesses, numbers, prices, tax rules, lender and investor terms are modelled for teaching and many are labelled as assumptions. They are not financial, tax, legal or investment advice, and nothing in a game should be relied on for a real decision. Scores show how you performed in the simulation, not a prediction of how you would do in business.
Your account
- Give accurate details and keep your password private. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
- Students join courses with a join code and their own matric number. Do not use someone else’s.
- Lecturer accounts are checked and approved before they can create courses.
- You must be 18 or over.
Playing fairly
- Do your own work. Do not share answers, accounts or results, or play for someone else.
- Do not use bots, scripts or other tools to play, probe or overload the service, and do not try to read other people’s data, reverse-engineer the game or interfere with scoring.
- We may flag, hold, adjust or remove results and withhold or withdraw a certificate where the record shows cheating or abuse, and we may suspend an account. Your lecturer can see integrity flags.
- Anything you write must be your own, lawful, and not abusive or misleading.
Certificates
A certificate is issued when a course is completed to the required standard and any conditions of the course are met. Each certificate has a code that anyone can use to check it is genuine. A certificate shows what you achieved in a simulation; it is not a professional qualification or a degree.
Prices and payment
- Foundation markets are free. The Advanced bundle is a paid, one-year activation, at a verified-student price or a standard price. Institutions can buy seats for a course. Current prices are shown in the app and on simulearn.org.
- The student price applies when we can verify you through an institutional email address, enrolment in an approved lecturer’s course, or an administrator’s grant. We decide the price on our side from that check.
- Payments are processed by our payment provider. If you were charged twice or by mistake, tell us and we will correct it. Otherwise, because access starts straight away, payments are not refundable unless the law says they must be.
- We may change prices for future purchases. A price you have already paid does not change.
Your content and ours
- What you write stays yours. You allow us to store it, process it for grading and integrity checks, and show it to your lecturer and our administrators for your course.
- The software, the markets, the scoring and the brand belong to us or our licensors. You may use them to learn, but may not copy, resell or build on them without our written permission.
Availability and changes
We work to keep SimuLearn available but we do not promise it will always be uninterrupted or error-free. We may update the simulation, which can change how a game scores. We may change or retire a feature, and we may update these terms; we will tell you of important changes in the app or by email, and continued use means you accept them.
Our responsibility
We are responsible for losses that the law does not allow us to exclude. Beyond that, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss from decisions you make based on a simulation, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before it. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under Nigerian consumer or data protection law.
Ending your use
You can stop at any time and students can erase their account from the Account page. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms. Terms that by their nature should continue (such as ownership and liability) continue after that.
Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the courts of Lagos State have jurisdiction, unless the law gives you the right to go elsewhere.
