Terms of use

Last updated: 4 November 2026. Questions: hello@mylearnington.com

• The beta
• Who owns what
• Complaints
• En español

These are the terms for the beta. The subscription terms (sections 10 to 16: plans, prices, renewal, cancelling, the 14-day right of withdrawal) take effect on 1 January 2027 and will be published here before then.

1. Who we are

Learnington (mylearnington.com) is run by:

• Justin Faircloth, sole trader (autónomo)
• Email: hello@mylearnington.com (we aim to reply within 3 working days)

In these terms, "we" and "us" mean the person above, and "you" means the person using Learnington.

2. What Learnington is

Learnington is a website with interactive resources for learning and teaching English: places to explore, films, games, tools, stories, worksheets and practice activities, for children, teens and adults. During the beta, access is free for 14 days per registration. From 1 January 2027 a free "look-around" lets you see the town and one film and one tool per topic; everything else needs a paid subscription (section 10).

Learnington is not an official exam body or a school, and it does not award official qualifications. Certificates and levels shown on the site are for motivation only. Exam names (for example "B2 First") belong to their owners and are used only to describe the type of practice.

3. Agreeing to these terms

By using Learnington you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

4. Age and who can use Learnington

• Under 14: you may use Learnington only with the permission and supervision of a parent, guardian or teacher. From 1 January 2027 a child's account needs a parent's or guardian's consent, or must be created by the child's teacher or school (see section 6).
• 14 to 17: from 1 January 2027 you may have your own account, but you cannot buy a subscription. A parent, guardian, teacher or school must buy it for you.
• 18 and over: you may use all of Learnington and buy subscriptions.

(If Spain raises the digital-consent age to 16, "14" changes here and in sign-up.)

5. Accounts (from 1 January 2027)

• Give accurate information, keep your password private, and tell us straight away if you think someone else is using your account.
• One account is for one person. Teachers must not share their teacher account with students.
• Children's accounts use a nickname, not a full name.
• One device at a time. Your account can be signed in on one device at a time; signing in on another signs the first one out.
• You can close your account at any time from the account page ("Delete my account") or by emailing us.

6. Teachers and schools (from 1 January 2027)

If you are a teacher or school and you create accounts for students or add students to a class:

• you decide how your students' data is used. You are the "data controller", and we act as your "data processor" under the data processing terms in Annex B;
• you must have a lawful basis for adding each student. For students under 14 that usually means consent from a parent or guardian, unless your school has another lawful basis;
• you must give your students (and their parents) the privacy information the law requires;
• you must add only the data the activity needs (a nickname and a class are usually enough);
• you must not upload other people's personal data, photos or confidential information into lesson plans, notes or the game-building tool;
• you must read and approve every game set you make with the AI tool before students see it, and you are responsible for what you approve.

7. Using Learnington properly

You must not:

• copy, resell, republish or share Learnington content or activities outside your own learning or teaching, except as allowed in section 8;
• try to access other people's accounts or data, break security, or overload the site;
• use bots or scrapers to copy content, or use the content to train AI models;
• post or submit content that is unlawful, hateful, sexual, violent, bullying or harmful to children;
• share personal details (yours or anyone else's) in free-text boxes beyond what an activity asks for;
• pretend to be someone else.

We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these rules. Unless there is an urgent safety reason, we will warn you first and explain why. If you are a paying customer and we close your account without a good reason, you will get a proportional refund.

8. Who owns what

• Our content. Learnington's texts, films, characters, illustrations, games, software and design belong to Justin Faircloth or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property law.
• What you may do. You may use Learnington for your own learning. Teachers may also show it in class, and may print or share worksheets made with Learnington with their own students, including in paid classes they teach. You may not sell or publish the materials themselves, or put them in another resource bank or platform.
• Your content. Writing, lesson plans and other content you create stays yours. You give us a limited permission to store and display it to you, and (from 1 January 2027) to the teacher or class you choose to share it with, only so that we can provide the service. We do not publish your content.
• Coursebooks. Learnington is an independent product. Where we name a coursebook, we do so only to describe which units our materials can accompany; we are not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any publisher, and we reproduce none of their content.
• Fonts and open-source parts. Some parts of the site use open-source software and fonts under their own licences, listed at mylearnington.com/licences.

9. No advertising

Learnington shows no adverts, in any mode. If that ever changed, these terms and the privacy and cookie policies would change first, and never for Kids or Teens mode.

9A. The beta programme (December 2026 to 1 January 2027)

• Registering at mylearnington.com/join gives one browser free access until the beta ends on 31 December 2026. The beta is for adults; children take part through their teacher's or a parent's screen.
• The beta is a test: things may break or change without notice, and we may end or extend it. There is no payment and no guarantee of availability during the beta.
• We ask for ratings and feedback. Quotes are published only with your permission (see the Privacy Policy).
• When accounts launch, everyone with a beta registration will be invited to create an account; your free access then continues until 1 January 2027, after which the subscription terms apply.

General terms

17. AI-made content

• Teachers can make game content with an AI tool (teacher and academy plans). Every set is checked automatically and then read and approved by the teacher before any student sees it; the teacher is responsible for what they approve.
• AI-made sets are labelled as such in the teacher's list. They are practice material, not an exam, and can contain mistakes the teacher must correct.
• Students never use the AI tool, and no student data is sent to it. Teachers must not put personal information into their requests.
• See the Privacy Policy for what is sent and to whom.

18. Availability

We try to keep Learnington available at all times, but we may need to pause it for maintenance or security. If a paid service is unavailable for a long time through our fault, you may be entitled to a proportional refund.

19. Our responsibility

We are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these terms or failing to use reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for loss that was not foreseeable, for problems caused by your device or internet connection, or for third-party services we do not control (for example your browser's speech recognition). Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability where the law does not allow that, including for intentional or grossly negligent conduct, for death or personal injury, or under your consumer rights.

20. Links to other sites

Learnington may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices. Pages in Kids mode do not link to outside sites.

21. Complaints

Please contact us first at hello@mylearnington.com. We reply within 10 days, and in any case within one month. If we cannot solve the problem, you can go to the consumer arbitration system (for example the Junta Arbitral de Consum de Catalunya or the Junta Arbitral in your region). You can also contact your local consumer office (OMIC) or the Agència Catalana del Consum.

(The EU's Online Dispute Resolution platform closed on 20 July 2025, so we do not link to it.)

22. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example to reflect new features or new laws. We will show the date at the top. For paying customers, important changes apply from your next renewal, and we will tell you at least 30 days in advance. If you do not agree, you can cancel before the change takes effect.

23. Law and courts

These terms are governed by Spanish law. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you can bring a claim in the courts of your home country or of Spain.

24. Languages

These terms are available in English and Spanish, and in Catalan on request. If the versions differ, the version in the language you chose when you signed up applies.
