These Terms govern your purchase of licences for and use of Lingly’s language learning platform (the “Service”). Your specific order details, including the number of authorised users, service duration, and fees, will be set out in a separate purchase confirmation or order form ("Order Form").
BY CREATING AN ACCOUNT, PLACING AN ORDER, OR CLICKING "I AGREE," YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND YOUR ORGANISATION TO THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, DO NOT PROCEED.
