The Customer is responsible for its administrators, staff and other users, for keeping login details secure, and for all activity under its account.

The Customer is responsible for the accuracy of its data and for having the right to provide it, including any required consents for pupil data.
Plans, billing and free trial
SchoolMind AI is offered on the Standard, Premium and Group plans described on our website, billed per quarter (every three months) in Nigerian naira. New schools may start with a free trial; at the end of the trial a paid plan is required to continue using the Service.
Payments are processed by our payment provider (Paystack) and are subject to its terms. Fees are due in advance each quarter and, except where required by law or expressly stated, are non-refundable.
Renewal, non-payment and suspension
Subscriptions continue each quarter until cancelled. If fees are not paid when due, we may suspend access to the Service after reasonable notice. We will retain the Customer’s data for a reasonable period to allow payment or data export before deletion.

- Do not resell or provide the Service to third parties without our written consent.
AI features
The Service includes AI-assisted features such as exam proctoring, result remarks and payment matching. These features provide suggestions and signals to assist staff; they are not a substitute for professional judgement, and the school remains responsible for decisions made using them.
