6. Information and material you submit

If you send us an enquiry, comment, application, review or other material through the Website, you confirm that:

- you have the right to provide it;

- it is accurate to the best of your knowledge;

- it does not infringe another person’s rights;

- it does not breach an obligation of confidentiality; and

- it does not contain anything unlawful, threatening, discriminatory, defamatory, obscene or otherwise harmful.

You retain ownership of material you submit.

You give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, copy and use that material only as reasonably necessary to:

- respond to you;

- process an application or request;

- administer the relevant service;

- operate, maintain or protect the Website;

- moderate contributions; and

- comply with our legal obligations.

We will not publish an identifiable testimonial, case study, reflection or other submission for promotional purposes without an appropriate separate agreement or permission.

You must not submit confidential or identifiable information about pupils, families, colleagues, schools or other third parties through public Website forms unless:

- we have specifically asked for the information;

- it is necessary for the stated purpose; and

- you are authorised to provide it.

Personal information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

We may remove public comments or other material where we reasonably believe that it:

- breaches these terms;

- infringes another person’s rights;

- creates a safeguarding or security concern;

- contains confidential personal information; or

- the account has been compromised;

- it is being shared or misused;

- there has been a serious or repeated breach of these terms;

- the account creates a safeguarding or security risk; or

- restriction is necessary to comply with the law.

Where appropriate and lawful, we will act proportionately and explain the reason for the restriction.

8. Online events and session recordings

This section applies to webinars, coaching sessions, learning sessions and other online events delivered or hosted by Aspiring Heads.

We may record webinars, coaching sessions and other online learning sessions. However, a recording is not guaranteed to be made or shared.

Where a session will be recorded, participants will be informed through the joining information, at the beginning of the session or through another reasonable method.

A participant’s name, profile image, voice, camera image, spoken contribution or chat message may appear in a recording.

Sessions are moderated to support participants who do not wish to appear in a recording. A participant can also reduce the possibility of appearing by:

- keeping their camera switched off;

- keeping their microphone muted;

- avoiding identifiable contributions in the chat; and

- notifying the session host or moderator.

Choosing not to appear may limit the participant’s ability to take part in some interactive activities.

Where a one-to-one coaching session will be recorded, the participant will be informed in advance and given a reasonable opportunity to raise concerns or decline to be recorded.

Where a recording relates to a cohort-based programme, it will be made available only to the relevant enrolled cohort. It will not be shared with another cohort or used externally under these terms.

Where a recording relates to a standalone event or session, it will only be made available to the audience identified in the relevant registration or event information.

The length of time for which a recording will remain available will depend on the particular programme, course or event. The relevant access period will be communicated to participants separately.

Participants must not independently:

- make an audio or video recording of a session;

- photograph or screenshot a session;

- download a recording where no download facility has been provided;

- copy or redistribute a recording; or

- share a recording or session content with an unauthorised person.

An exception applies only where Aspiring Heads has provided prior written permission and everyone whose personal information would be captured has been appropriately informed.

9. Accuracy and reliance on information

We take reasonable care when preparing public Content. However, it is provided for general information and professional-development purposes.

We do not guarantee that all Content will always be complete, current, accurate or suitable for your particular circumstances.

Website Content is not intended to constitute legal, medical, financial, employment or other regulated professional advice. You should obtain appropriate professional or specialist advice before acting, or deciding not to act, where your circumstances require it.

Information about programmes, events, speakers, facilitators, dates, availability, prices and outcomes may change. Information confirmed as part of a registration, purchase or participation agreement will take priority in relation to that particular service.

Aspiring Heads provides professional learning and development but does not guarantee promotion, employment, accreditation, salary increases or any particular professional outcome.

10. Third-party links and services

The Website may contain links to websites, platforms or services operated by third parties.

These links are provided for information or convenience. They do not necessarily mean that we endorse the third party, its products, services or views.

We do not control and are not responsible for:

- the availability of third-party websites;

- their content or accuracy;

- their security;

- their terms and conditions; or

- their privacy practices.

If you access a third-party website or platform, you do so subject to that provider’s own terms and policies.

If you wish to link to our Website, you may link fairly and lawfully to a public page, provided that you do not:

- suggest an association, approval or endorsement where none exists;

- misrepresent your relationship with Aspiring Heads;

- frame or replicate a substantial part of the Website;

- link from a website that you do not control without the owner’s permission; or

- link from content that is unlawful or infringes another person’s rights.

We may withdraw permission to link to the Website where reasonably necessary.

11. Website security

We take reasonable steps to protect the Website. However, we cannot guarantee that it will always be secure or free from bugs, viruses or other harmful material.

You are responsible for configuring your devices, software and internet connection. You should use appropriate security and virus-protection measures.

If you become aware of a security vulnerability, suspected misuse or unauthorised access affecting an Aspiring Heads service, please contact support@aspiringheads.com promptly.

You must not publicly disclose a suspected security issue in a way that could increase the risk of harm to Aspiring Heads, our users or another person.

12. Our responsibility to you

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for:

- death or personal injury caused by negligence;

- fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; and

- any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

Nothing in these terms affects any statutory rights available to you as a consumer.

If you are a consumer, we are responsible for loss or damage that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these terms or our failure to use reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for loss or damage that is not foreseeable.

The public Website is provided for general information and professional-development purposes. If you use the public Website as a consumer, we are not responsible for commercial or business losses, including loss of profit, revenue, opportunity, business or goodwill.

If you use the Website for business purposes, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law:

- we exclude implied conditions, warranties and representations relating to the public Website;

- we are not responsible for loss of profit, revenue, business, anticipated savings, data or goodwill; and

- we are not responsible for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the public Website.

Separate liability provisions may apply to paid services, memberships, events and programmes under their applicable terms.

13. Privacy and cookies

Our Privacy Policy explains:

- what personal information we collect;

- why and how we use it;

- the lawful bases on which we process it;

- who we may share it with;

- how long we retain it;

- how we use cookies and similar technologies; and

- the rights available to individuals.

Where you access a third-party platform through an Aspiring Heads service, that provider may also process personal information under its own privacy terms.

14. Changes to these terms and the Website

We may update these terms to reflect changes to:

- the Website or our services;

- our organisation;

- applicable law or regulatory guidance;

- security requirements; or

- the way in which the Website operates.

The current version and its effective date will be published on the Website.

Changes will apply from the stated effective date. We will take reasonable steps to highlight material changes where appropriate.

Changes to these Website terms will not retrospectively reduce rights you already have under a separate purchase, membership, event or programme agreement.

15. Suspension and ending access

We may suspend or block access to the Website where we reasonably believe that this is necessary to address:

- unlawful activity;

- misuse of the Website;

- a security risk;

- a safeguarding concern;

- an infringement of another person’s rights; or

- a material breach of these terms.

Where appropriate and lawful, we will act proportionately and explain the reason for our decision.

Any provisions that are intended to continue after access ends—including provisions concerning intellectual property, liability, governing law and accrued rights—will continue to apply.

16. General provisions

If any part of these terms is found to be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect.

If we delay enforcing any provision, this does not mean that we have waived our right to enforce it later.

You may not transfer your rights under these terms to another person without our prior written agreement.

We may transfer our rights and obligations to another organisation. We will not do so where it would materially reduce the protections available to you without providing an appropriate remedy.

These terms, together with the documents expressly referred to in them, form the agreement governing your use of the public Website. They do not replace terms applying to a particular purchase, membership, event, course or programme.

17. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.

If you are a consumer living in another part of the United Kingdom, you retain any mandatory legal protections available in the country in which you live. You may bring proceedings in the courts available to you under applicable law.

If you are using the Website for business purposes, the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising in connection with these terms.

We encourage you to contact us first at support@aspiringheads.com so that we can try to resolve your concern.
