Terms of Service

Last Updated: 21 December, 2022

Welcome to Voda.


Voda Technologies Limited (“Voda”) provides our website located at www.voda.co (the “Site”) and our learning videos accessible via our mobile device application (“App”). To make these Terms easier to read, the Site, our services and App are collectively called the “Services.” Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) carefully because they govern your use of our Services.


Agreement to Terms 

By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by these Terms, please do not use the Services.   


Privacy Policy 

You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy. Furthermore, when we process your personal data that may be a special category of personal data as defined in Article 9 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation — such as data concerning health — you provide your explicit consent for that processing. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information on how we collect, use and disclose information from our users.


Changes to Terms or Services 

We may modify the Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If we do so, we’ll let you know either by posting the modified Terms on the Site or through other communications. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we modify them because if you continue to use the Services after we have posted modified Terms on the Site, you are indicating to us that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the modified Terms, then you may not use the Services anymore. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.

Arbitration Notice 

Unless you opt out of arbitration within 30 days of the date you first agree to these terms by following the opt-out procedure specified in the “Arbitration” section below, and except for certain types of disputes described in the “Arbitration“ section below, you agree that disputes between you and Voda will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration and you are waiving your right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding.


Who May Use the Services


Eligibility 

You may use the Services only if you are 13 years or older and are not barred from using the Services under applicable law. To make a purchase via the Services (described in the Section titled “Purchases” below), you must be 18 years or older and capable of forming a binding contract.


Registration and Your Information 

If you want to use certain features of the Services you’ll have to create an account (“Account”). You can do this via the App or the Site or through your account with certain third-party social networking services such as Facebook (each, an “SNS Account”). If you choose the SNS Account option we’ll create your Account by extracting from your SNS Account certain personal information such as your name and email address and other personal information that your privacy settings on the SNS Account permit us to access. It’s important that you provide us with accurate, complete and up-to-date information for your Account and you agree to update such information, as needed, to keep it accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you don’t, we might have to suspend or terminate your Account. You agree that you won’t disclose your Account password to anyone and you’ll notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account. You’re responsible for all activities that occur under your Account, whether or not you know about them.


Using the Services 

Via the Services, users can select from a variety of options to create customized learning sessions. You can also use the paid functionality of the Services to utilize the enhanced functionality of the Services or purchase items that are offered for sale through the Services (the “Products”), as described in further detail under the Section titled “Purchases” below. You understand and agree that the Services, Products and any other information you learn from Voda are not intended, designed, or implied to diagnose, prevent, or treat any condition or disease, to ascertain the state of your mental health.  Not all activities described on the Services or Products are suitable for everyone. Do not use the Services while driving, operating heavy machinery, or performing other tasks that require attention and concentration. You understand and agree that you are solely responsible for your use of the Services.


Future Functionality 

You agree that your purchases are not contingent on the delivery of any future functionality or features, or dependent on any oral or written public comments made by Voda regarding future functionality or features.


Feedback 

We welcome feedback, comments and suggestions for improvements to the Services or Products (“Feedback”). You can submit Feedback by emailing us at [email protected].

Dispute Resolution

Governing Law 

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the United Kingdom.

General Terms 

These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between Voda and you regarding the Services, Products and Content, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between Voda and you regarding the Services, Products and Content. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Voda’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. Voda may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns. Any notices or other communications provided by Voda under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) by Voda via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted. Voda’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Voda. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
