1. INTRODUCTION

Learn in a FLASH Ltd provides an online platform and education support service that facilitates connections between School Houses, Host Families, Workplaces, Organisations, and Student Guests for the purpose of arranging accommodation, educational activities, work-related learning experiences, and cultural exchange programmes.

The Company acts as an intermediary and facilitator of introductions between independent third-party providers and Users. Learn in a FLASH Ltd is not a fostering agency, guardian, childcare provider, employer, or educational institution, and does not itself provide homestay accommodation, teaching, supervision, or workplace services.

Each profile displayed on the Website represents information provided by independent third parties. While the Company applies reasonable onboarding and verification processes, including profile reviews and, where applicable, in-person or partner-led checks, Users acknowledge that such information may change over time and cannot be guaranteed as fully complete, current, or error-free.

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between the User (including any Client, School, Agent, Host, Organisation, Student Guest, Parent, or Legal Guardian) and Learn in a FLASH Ltd. By accessing or using the Website or Services, Users confirm that they have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and all related policies. If a User does not agree, they must not use the Website or Services.

2. DEFINITIONS

In this Agreement, the following words and expressions shall have the following meanings:

"Website": This website and any other platform through which Learn in a FLASH Ltd provides its services.

You are solely responsible for safeguarding your account password.
You must be at least 18 years old to place an Order or register for commercial services.

4. SERVICES

Users are solely responsible for the calculation, collection, and payment of any local fees, dues, or taxes arising from their bookings.
All providers agree to conform their conduct to the standards set out in the British Council Self-Evaluation Welfare guidelines.
Learn in a FLASH Ltd acts solely as an intermediary, coordinator, and platform provider and assumes no responsibility for obligations arising directly between third parties.

5. BOOKING POLICY

Each booking arranged through the Website constitutes a direct agreement between the relevant Users (including Hosts, School Houses, Workplaces, Organisations, and Student Guests or their representatives). Learn in a FLASH Ltd acts solely as an intermediary platform facilitating introductions and administrative coordination.

Learn in a FLASH Ltd does not assume responsibility for the performance, non-performance, or conduct of any independent third-party User. Upon confirmation of a booking, the Company issues automated confirmations. Users acknowledge that all providers act independently and remain solely responsible for their services, conduct, and compliance. For operational purposes, days are calculated from 00:01 to 24:00 in the local time zone of the Host. Learn in a FLASH Ltd does not guarantee the availability, suitability, compatibility, continuity, or future availability of any specific Host, Workplace, Organisation, or placement.

6. PAYMENTS, CANCELLATIONS, AND RELOCATIONS

Registration and enrollment fees are non-refundable.

If a School House or Host cancels, the Business will endeavor to secure an alternative solution, failing which a refund of the balance (subject to the terms of the specific order) may be provided.

7. WARRANTIES

Users submitting content or information to the Website warrant that they have the necessary rights, authority, or consent to provide such information and to grant the licences required under these Terms. Users retain ownership of their submitted content but grant Learn in a FLASH Ltd a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, adapt, store, and display such content.

Users warrant that the information they provide is accurate at the time of submission and that they will keep such information updated. Learn in a FLASH Ltd applies reasonable onboarding, verification, and review processes; however, Users acknowledge that the Company does not guarantee the ongoing accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information provided by third parties. An adult (18+) must always be present in the accommodation when a minor Student Guest is present overnight.

8. FEEDBACK POLICY

All users agree to be bound by the platform's review system.
Learn in a FLASH Ltd reserves the right, but not the obligation, to remove, edit, moderate, or refuse publication of any review or comment that appears inaccurate, misleading, abusive, or inappropriate.

9. COMMUNICATION AND CONTACTS

Once a booking request has been initiated, the platform enables communication between relevant Users for the purpose of managing the placement. Users must not transmit unlawful, abusive, discriminatory, or inappropriate communications. Users must not exchange personal contact details prior to booking confirmation, except where permitted by the platform. Any attempt to deliberately circumvent the platform for the purpose of avoiding applicable fees, commissions, or administrative processes associated with introductions made through Learn in a FLASH Ltd shall constitute a material breach of these Terms.

The parties acknowledge that these sums have been calculated by reference to the value of goodwill, repeat bookings, recruitment costs, and management expenditure.

20. EQUITABLE ACCOUNTING AND ACCOUNT OF PROFITS

In addition to damages, Learn in a FLASH Ltd shall be entitled to seek an account of profits and recovery of all gains, commissions, and economic advantages obtained as a result of any breach. Any attempt to conceal or disguise a prohibited transaction shall constitute an aggravating factor.
