1. About these terms

In these terms:

How our agreement is made

  1. You fill in the sign-up form. You can check and correct your details at any point before you select Create account.
  2. You tick the checkbox to confirm that you are 18 or over, that you agree to these terms and that you have read the privacy notice. You cannot create an account without ticking it.
  3. We email you a link. When you open it and enter your password to confirm your email address, your account is activated and our agreement starts.

We keep a record of which version of these terms you accepted and when. These terms are available in English only. You can read, print or save them on this page at any time. We keep a copy of every version, and we will send you the version you accepted, or any earlier version, if you ask. We have not signed up to any code of conduct.

If you are a consumer

The Bodhi Bank is designed for professional use, so most people who use it are not "consumers" in law. You are a consumer if you use the service mainly for purposes outside your trade, business, craft or profession. If you are a consumer, the law gives you rights that these terms do not take away, and some parts of these terms say how they apply to you.

2. Who we are and how to contact us

The Bodhi Bank is provided by Sheevam Pattni (also known as Shivam Pattni), trading as Bodhi School, a sole trader in the UK.

Account emails, such as confirmation and password reset emails, are sent from apps@bodhi.school. To contact us, please use privacy@bodhi.school. We contact you using the email address on your account, so please tell us if it changes.

3. Who can use The Bodhi Bank

To create and keep an account, you must:

The Bodhi Bank is not for pupils or students, whatever their age, and they must not create accounts. A student who also works as a tutor may use it in their role as a tutor.

If you use The Bodhi Bank in your work for a school, college or other organisation, you agree to these terms personally, not on behalf of your employer. You are responsible for following your employer's rules on using online resources.

If you stop teaching, tutoring or supporting pupils, please delete your account. You may keep copies you made, for any teaching you still do, under section 8.

The Bodhi Bank is designed for courses taught in the UK. You may use it from other countries, but we do not promise that it suits courses or meets legal requirements elsewhere.

4. Your account and keeping it secure

5. The Bodhi Bank is free

The Bodhi Bank is free to use. We do not take any payment from you, and we do not ask for payment details.

We may offer paid plans or paid features in future. If we do:

If we decide that content or features you can use for free today will only be available in a paid plan, we will email you at least 30 days before, as described in section 13. You may keep using copies you made before then, under these terms.

6. Fair use limits

To keep The Bodhi Bank free, quick and fair for everyone, and to protect our materials from copying, the service has some limits.

Daily limit on activity packs

Other limits

You must not try to get round any of these limits, for example by using more than one account. We may raise any limit at any time. If we lower the daily limit on activity packs, or the limits on how much you can save, we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email, as section 13 explains, unless we must act sooner for legal, security or safety reasons, including to stop misuse that is already happening. Lowering a limit will never delete anything you have already saved. We may adjust the other limits in this section to keep the service secure and working well, but not so that they get in the way of normal teaching use.

7. Who owns the materials

8. How you may use the materials

We give you a personal, free, non-exclusive permission (a licence) to use the materials for teaching and preparing your own pupils, anywhere in the world, as this section describes and subject to the rules in section 9. It starts when your account is activated and lasts while your account is open. For copies you made before your account closed, it continues after that, unless it ends as section 14 explains. You may not transfer this permission or grant it to anyone else. The permissions below for your pupils, your colleagues and your school, college or tutoring business come directly from us.

You may:

Sharing with colleagues

You may share copies of particular activities or packs with colleagues at the same school, college or tutoring business, for them to use with pupils there, for example when they cover your class, teach a parallel group or plan lessons with you. In a tutoring business, "colleagues" means people who teach the same pupils as you, or who work with you in the same centre or team, not everyone the business works with. In a group of schools, such as a multi-academy trust, each school counts separately.

We give those colleagues, and your school, college or tutoring business, permission to hold and print the copies you share, and to use them with pupils at that organisation, on the same terms as this section and section 9 apply to you. Your organisation may keep them on its own systems, such as a staff area or a learning platform that only its staff, its pupils and their parents or carers can open, but only for these purposes.

You must not build up a shared collection of our packs for colleagues to use instead of having their own accounts. Colleagues who want to use The Bodhi Bank regularly can create their own free account.

If you leave a school, college or tutoring business

You may keep using your copies to teach your pupils wherever you work next. Copies you shared with colleagues before you left may stay in use for pupils at that organisation, but you must not share any more with them once you have left. Some things you made at work, such as your edits, may belong to your employer. Our materials inside them still belong to us, and your former employer may use them only as this section allows. If your account uses a work email address, ask us to change it before you leave, so that you can still sign in and reset your password.

Lesson recordings

If you record a lesson in which the materials appear, you may share the recording only with the pupils in that class or group, including any who missed the lesson, and their parents or carers, in a way that only they can open. Do not publish or sell recordings that show the materials.

AI apps

You may use an AI app or service to help you adapt an activity for your own pupils, but only if:

Copyright notices

Where the materials or our files show our name or a notice saying where they come from, keep it on any copy you make of a whole activity or pack, including edited ones. If you copy a small part, such as one question, into your own resource for your pupils, you do not need to copy the notice. You may add your own name or logo, or your school's.

What the law allows anyway

Nothing in these terms stops you doing anything the law allows you to do without our permission, for example quoting for criticism or review, using extracts to illustrate teaching where the law allows this, or making accessible copies for a disabled person.

9. What you must not do

With the materials

Unless we have agreed otherwise in writing, you must not do any of the following, whether the materials are in their original form or edited:

With your account and the service

You must not:

Reporting security problems

If you find a security weakness in The Bodhi Bank, please tell us at privacy@bodhi.school, and do not test it further or share it with anyone else until we have fixed it. We will not close or suspend your account because of a report made in good faith.

10. Your saved work, ratings and feedback

11. No personal information about pupils or others

The Bodhi Bank does not need any information about pupils, and it is not designed to hold it. You must not type or paste personal information about pupils or anyone else, such as names, initials, marks linked to a person, or details about health or additional needs, into edited activities, lesson titles, scheme names, feedback or anything else you save or send through the service. You may use general labels, such as a year group or a class code.

If we find information like this, we will delete it. You are responsible for having added it. The Bodhi Bank is not a service for storing pupils' information, and we do not agree to process it for you or your school.

12. Accuracy, exam boards and your professional judgement

13. Changes to the service

Changes we may make

Availability

If we stop providing The Bodhi Bank

We may stop providing The Bodhi Bank. If we do, we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email, unless that is impossible for reasons outside our control, so that you can download your data. You can keep using copies you have already downloaded, as section 14 explains.

14. Closing or suspending accounts

You can close your account at any time

Use Delete my account on your Account page. Your account closes at once. Within 30 days we delete your personal information and saved work and remove your details from our contact records, as our privacy notice explains. Feedback you sent with the button is kept without your name or username. If you want a copy of your saved work, please download it first.

Accounts we delete automatically

When we may suspend or close your account

We may suspend your account, limit its access to the materials, or close it if:

Where we can, we will warn you first and give you a chance to explain or put things right. We will only act without warning where that is necessary: if the problem is serious, if you are not eligible, or if warning you would be unlawful or create a security risk.

We will always tell you promptly by email what we have done and why, unless the law stops us. A suspension or limit lasts only as long as we need to look into the problem or for it to be put right. If you think we have made a mistake, please contact us and we will look at it again.

While your account is suspended, or after we have closed it, you can still ask us at privacy@bodhi.school for a copy of your personal information or to delete your account, as our privacy notice explains. If we close your account because you broke these terms, we keep a short record of this, as our privacy notice explains, so that the account is not simply created again.

Copies you have already downloaded or printed

If your account closesWhat happens to your copies
for any reason not in the next row, for example because you deleted it, you had not signed in for 2 years, we stopped providing The Bodhi Bank, or you were no longer eligible through no fault of your ownYou may keep using copies you made before it closed, to teach your own pupils, under sections 8 and 9. We will not be able to tell you about later corrections, so please check your copies against the current specification before you use them.
because we closed it after you broke these terms in a serious way or kept breaking them after a warning, or because you gave false details to get an accountYour permission to use the materials ends. Within 14 days, you must stop using them, delete or destroy any copies you hold, and remove any you have put on a class page, learning platform, online whiteboard or staff area. Your pupils may keep copies you have already given them, for their own study.

Sections 7, 8, 9 and 12 (as far as they apply to copies you keep), the feedback part of section 10, this section, and sections 15, 19 and 20 continue to apply after your account closes.

15. Our responsibility to you

What we do not limit

What we are not responsible for

We are not responsible for:

Our overall limit

Because The Bodhi Bank is free, our total liability to you for all claims connected with the service or these terms, whether in contract, negligence or otherwise, is limited to £100. This limit does not apply to anything listed under "What we do not limit" above, including the device-damage remedy, to our responsibilities under data protection law, or to loss caused by our deliberate breach of these terms.

16. Your personal information

Our privacy notice explains how we collect and use personal information, how long we keep it and your rights. It is information for you, not part of these terms, so you are not asked to agree to it.

We send you the emails needed to run your account, including notice of important changes to the service and to these terms, and the other notices these terms promise. We only send you news about our apps if you have chosen to receive it, and you can stop it at any time.

17. Complaints and copyright concerns

Complaints

If you are unhappy with The Bodhi Bank or with us, please tell us first, so that we can try to put things right.

Complaints about how we use personal information are handled as our privacy notice explains, and you can also complain to the ICO. If we cannot resolve a dispute, either of us may take it to court, as section 20 explains.

Copyright concerns

If you think anything in The Bodhi Bank uses your work without permission, or you find our materials published somewhere they should not be, email privacy@bodhi.school with "Copyright" in the subject line. Tell us who you are, which work is affected, where you saw it and why you are concerned. We will acknowledge your message within 10 working days and look into it promptly. Where appropriate, we will remove or change the material, and we will tell you what we have done.
