Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of RunPy at runpy.co.uk. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use RunPy.

Questions? Email support@runpy.co.uk.

RunPy is designed for UK secondary school classrooms. You must be 13 or older to create your own account, or have a teacher create an account for you under a school's supervision. Teachers must be adults authorised by their school to use the service.

You agree to use RunPy for learning, teaching, and creating Python or HTML projects. You agree not to:

• upload, store, or share material that is illegal, harmful, harassing, or infringes others' rights;
• attempt to disrupt the service, probe it for vulnerabilities without permission, or bypass safety controls;
• use the service to attack other systems or to mine cryptocurrency;
• share your account credentials, or impersonate another user.

We may suspend or close accounts that breach these rules. For security research, see our security.txt.

You keep ownership of any code, files, or text you create on RunPy. You grant us a limited licence to host, store, and display your content to operate the service (for example, so a teacher can see a student's saved work in their class).

You are responsible for the content you create. Don't upload anything you don't have the right to share.

Teachers on a school plan can invite other teachers from their department under a shared licence. The Head of Department is responsible for managing seats and ensuring invited teachers are entitled to access the licence on behalf of the school.

We aim to keep RunPy available during UK school hours but don't guarantee uninterrupted service. We may occasionally need to take it offline for maintenance, security, or updates.

RunPy is provided "as is". To the extent permitted by law, we make no warranties about uptime, suitability for a particular curriculum, or that the service will be error-free. Nothing in these terms limits our liability for fraud or death or personal injury caused by negligence.

We may update these terms when our practices change and will update the "Last updated" date above. For material changes, we'll let teacher account holders know by email.

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
