In short: use the tools respectfully and lawfully, remember that everything in the workspace is shared with other signed-in users, keep your own copy of anything important, and don't try to break or misuse the service.
1. Agreeing to these terms
These terms apply to everyone who uses the CDLT Platform, whether you sign in as a presenter or join a word cloud as a participant. The platform is provided by the organisation that provides it to you ("we", "us"). By using it, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the platform.
If you use the platform on behalf of a school, company or other organisation, you confirm that you're allowed to accept these terms for it.
2. The service
The platform offers interactive tools for workshops, classes and meetings: a spin wheel, a live word cloud and a count up / count down timer. We may add, change or remove features at any time, and we may stop offering the platform.
3. Accounts
- Presenters sign in with a Google or Microsoft account. You must use an account that belongs to you, and you're responsible for what happens while you're signed in.
- Sign out when you use a shared or public computer, and tell us if you think someone else has used your account.
- We may limit who can use the platform, for example to members of a particular organisation.
4. Shared workspace
Everyone who signs in to this platform works in the same workspace. Wheel entries, spin results, word cloud questions and responses, timer settings and background images can be seen, changed and deleted by every signed-in user. Treat it like a shared whiteboard: be considerate of others' work, and don't put confidential or personal information in it.
5. Joining a word cloud
Participants can join a word cloud with a code or QR code without an account. Your words appear on the presenter's screen, which may be shown to a room or shared online, so only submit words you're happy for others to see. The presenter can remove any word. Please follow the presenter's instructions and the same acceptable use rules as everyone else.
6. Acceptable use
You must not use the platform to:
- break the law or encourage others to;
- post content that is abusive, harassing, hateful, threatening, sexually explicit or otherwise offensive;
- share other people's personal information, or content you don't have the right to use (for example, copyrighted images);
- pretend to be someone else, or mislead people about who you are;
- try to get around sign-in, submission limits or rate limits, or access data or parts of the platform you're not meant to;
- overload, disrupt, scan or attack the platform, or upload malware or harmful code;
- collect data from the platform with bots or scrapers, or resell or re-host it without our permission.
7. Your content
You keep ownership of the text and images you add. You give us permission to store, display and process that content only as needed to run the platform for you and the other users of this workspace.
You're responsible for having the rights to anything you upload. We may remove content that breaks these terms or that we're asked to remove by law, and presenters can remove word cloud responses.
8. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect and how we use it. It forms part of these terms.
9. Availability and data
We try to keep the platform available, but we don't promise it will always be online, fast or free of errors. Maintenance, updates and problems outside our control can interrupt it, and signing in again may be needed after an update.
The platform is not a backup service. Content can be changed or deleted by other users or lost through technical problems, so keep your own copy of anything important, for example by exporting word cloud responses as CSV.
10. Disclaimer
The platform is provided "as is" and "as available". As far as the law allows, we make no promises about it beyond those in these terms, including that it will be suitable for a particular purpose. Spin results are random and the timer is a convenience: don't rely on them where accuracy or fairness has legal or financial consequences.
11. Limitation of liability
As far as the law allows, we're not responsible for indirect or consequential losses, or for lost data, content, profits or opportunities, arising from your use of the platform or from content added by other users. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, such as for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
12. Suspension and ending
You can stop using the platform at any time and ask us to delete your account. We may suspend or end your access, or remove content, if you break these terms, if it's needed to protect the platform or other users, or if we stop offering the platform. Sections 7, 10, 11 and 14 continue to apply after your access ends.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We'll change the "last updated" date above, and if the changes are significant we'll make reasonable efforts to tell users. Continuing to use the platform after a change means you accept the updated terms.
14. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the country where the operator is established. If you're a consumer, you also keep any protections that the law where you live gives you.
15. Contact
For questions about these terms, please contact the organisation that gave you access to this platform.
