Terms of Service

1. Agreement to terms

By accessing or using VintaOS (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. These Terms form a legally binding agreement between you ("you," "your," or "Academy") and Vinta Automations ("we," "us," or "our").

You represent that you have the legal authority to bind the academy or organization you are registering on behalf of. If you are an individual user acting on behalf of an academy, you confirm that the academy's owner or legal representative has authorized you to accept these Terms.

2. Definitions

• Service — the VintaOS school management platform, including all web-based tools, dashboards, and features provided by Vinta Automations.
• Account — the registered academy account that provides access to the Service.
• Owner — the person who created the academy account and holds full administrative control.
• Staff — individuals authorized by the Owner to access the Service under that academy account, using a personal PIN.
• Academy Data — all data entered into the Service by Owner or Staff, including student records, teacher profiles, billing information, and activity logs.
• Subscription — the paid plan that grants access to the Service for a defined billing period.

3. Account registration

• Provide accurate and complete registration information.
• Maintain the security of your account credentials and PINs.

• Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account.

You are responsible for ensuring that all Staff members understand and comply with these Terms. You may not share your account credentials with anyone outside your academy.

We reserve the right to limit or modify the free trial offer at our discretion, with reasonable notice.
