Terms of Service

1. Introduction

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Pleanáil (pleanail.ie), a curriculum planning platform for Irish primary schools operated by Strattonite Limited, a company registered in Ireland, with registered address at 152 Kimmage Road Lower, Harold's Cross, Dublin 6W, D6W YA70 ("we", "us", "our").

By creating an account or using Pleanáil, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a school, you represent that you have authority to bind the school to these Terms.

2. The Service

Pleanáil provides a web-based platform that enables Irish primary school teachers and principals to create, manage, and export curriculum plans aligned with the NCCA primary school curriculum. The service includes fortnightly planning, long-term planning, Cúntas Míosúil generation, curriculum coverage tracking, and PDF export.

We reserve the right to modify, improve, or discontinue features at any time with reasonable notice to active subscribers.

3. Accounts

To use Pleanáil, you must create an account with a valid email address and password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You agree to provide accurate and current information when creating your account, and to update it if anything changes. You must notify us immediately at ciaran@pleanail.ie if you believe your account has been accessed without your authorisation.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe are being misused.

5. Your Content and Data

You own your content. All planning content you create belongs to you (or your school). We do not claim ownership of any content you create using Pleanáil.

By using the service, you grant us a limited licence to store, process, and display your content solely for the purpose of providing the service. This licence ends when you delete your content or your account.

You are responsible for ensuring that you do not store sensitive pupil data beyond what is necessary for curriculum planning. The platform is designed for curriculum planning, NOT for storing sensitive child data.

6. Data Protection

We process personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. We are committed to compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Irish Data Protection Act 2018.

Key points:

• All data is stored within the EU (Germany)
• Essential cookies only — no tracking
• We never sell or share your data with advertisers
• You may request access, correction, or deletion of your data at any time

For Whole School plans, the school is a joint controller of teacher data. Schools are responsible for obtaining any necessary consents from their teachers.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the service for any unlawful purpose
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to other accounts or data
• Use automated tools to access the service without our permission
• Upload malicious code
• Store personal data about individual pupils
• Resell or sublicence the service without a written agreement

8. Curriculum Content

Curriculum content available through Pleanáil is sourced from NCCA specifications and is included for reference to support your planning. We do not guarantee that curriculum content is complete or error-free. Please refer to curriculumonline.ie as the authoritative source for curriculum information.

9. Availability and Support

We aim to provide a reliable service but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. Planned maintenance will be carried out with reasonable notice where possible.

Support is available via ciaran@pleanail.ie. We aim to respond within 2 working days during the school year (September–June).

10. Limitation of Liability

The service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.

Our aggregate liability to you for any claims arising from or related to the service is limited to the total fees you have paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud, negligence causing personal injury, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under Irish law. We are not responsible for decisions made based on content generated or displayed by the platform.

11. Termination

By you: You may delete your account at any time by contacting ciaran@pleanail.ie or via the Stripe customer portal. Your data will be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

By us: We may suspend or terminate your account for material breach of these Terms after providing notice. Where possible, we will provide you with reasonable time to export your data before deletion.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you by email at least 14 days before any changes take effect. Your continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
