These terms
These terms are between the school that uses School Dynamics and Newline Technologies Limited (“we”). By signing up, or by using School Dynamics for a school, the school agrees to them. A school with a signed agreement or a licence invoice from us follows what that agreement or invoice says where it differs from these terms.
Accounts
The person who signs a school up becomes its administrator and decides who else gets an account and with which role. Each person keeps their own password private and signs in as themselves; the school is responsible for what is done with its accounts and should remove staff who leave.
The free trial
A new school gets 30 days of School Dynamics free, with nothing to pay to start. At the end of the trial the school chooses a package to keep using it; until then nothing is charged.
Packages and paying
- Packages are priced by the number of active students, for six months or a year, as shown on the pricing page at the time of ordering. Prices are in Uganda shillings.
- A package can be paid in full or in three instalments. Each payment opens School Dynamics for its share of the period.
- Every order comes with an invoice and every payment with a receipt.
- Schools on a termly licence are billed per student, per term, on an invoice from us, and pay by its due date.
If an invoice is not paid
If an invoice is not paid by its due date, the school’s access may be locked until it is paid. While locked, staff see what is owed and how to pay it. Nothing is deleted because of a late payment, and access returns as soon as the payment arrives.
SMS credit
Text messages are not part of a package. The school buys SMS credit when it needs it, and each message sent uses some of it. The school decides who receives its messages and is responsible for what they say.
Your school’s records
The records a school enters belong to the school. We look after them as our privacy notice describes, use them only to provide School Dynamics, and give the school a copy when it asks. The school is responsible for the records being correct and for having the right to hold them — for example, parents’ agreement to receive messages.
Using School Dynamics properly
School Dynamics may be used only for running the school. Do not try to reach another school’s records, get round the roles and limits in the system, overload it, or use it to send messages people have not agreed to receive. We may suspend an account that does.
Our part
- We keep School Dynamics running, secure and up to date, and help schools when they ask — by phone, email or the contact page.
- We work to keep it available at all times, but it may sometimes stop for maintenance or for reasons outside our control. Where we can, we tell schools about planned work in advance.
- We improve School Dynamics over time. When a change affects how a school works, we explain it in the help centre or tell the school directly.
Stopping
A school may stop using School Dynamics at any time; it simply does not renew. Its records are kept so it can come back or ask for a copy, unless it asks us to delete them.
