3. Specification of the application and services offered
3. 1. Specification and functioning of the App
The App functions as a so-called individual reading coach and is primarily used to improve reading levels, helping with reading difficulties, including dyslexia. The app thus helps improve the efficiency and quality of Users' reading.
The app is developed in collaboration with special educators and combines their expertise with the scalability and other benefits of a computer application. Teaching and practicing reading in the Application relies on decades of proven and used methods to teach this skill, as well as new forms of teaching that allow the use of an interactive online environment, all according to the needs of specific Users.
After filling in the necessary data, the User has the opportunity to go through a reading skills diagnosis, based on which he is automatically offered a list of exercises for his individual needs. The results of the exercises, combined with a subjective rating of their difficulty, are used to tailor the individual exercises or the entire list of exercises to the User's current skills.
However, due to each person's individual physiological and psychological disposition, the Provider does not guarantee that each User is able to achieve the stated improvements in their reading skills. The stated improvement values are realistic estimates based on 1) the past performance of the Users of the Application, 2) the theoretical sources of professional authors and the experience of experts involved in the development of the Application, and 3) the assumption that each User is genuinely interested in improving his/her reading skills, especially the quality of his/her reading, and that for this purpose he/she will follow indiscriminately and fully all recommendations and instructions he/she receives within the Application and otherwise delivered materials.
3.2 Use of the Application and Provision of Services
The Application is made available to Users via the public Internet. For smooth functioning of the Application, the Provider recommends Microsoft Windows, Linux or Apple MacOS environment with Google Chrome or Mozila Firefox internet browser in the latest available version, or for tablet versions of the Application, Android operating systems in versions 5 and later or iOS in versions 11 and later.
The Provider undertakes to secure the Application servers on the Provider's side within the scope of the Services provided by the Provider using standard server protection offered by the current server operator (at least the use of strong passwords and Firewall) and guarantees that the absence of such protection will not result in
3.3 Variants of the Application and Services
After proper registration, the Customer is entitled to designate the persons of Users with a reader account. These persons have the possibility to use the Application and Services in the following manner, unless otherwise specified in the individual variants of the Application and Services or in the description of these variants located in the Application.
a) Free Preview
By concluding the Agreement, the Customer always obtains the right to use a free variant of the Application, the so-called Free Preview (hereinafter referred to as the "Free Preview"). Under the Free Preview, each User for whom the Customer creates a reader account in the Application is entitled to use all available tutorials and exercises included in the Application in their entirety free of charge for a period of seven (7) days from the date of conclusion of the Agreement. In this way, Users will be given the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the functioning of the Application free of charge for a specified period of time. The Services are also provided as part of the Free Demo, but without a guaranteed response time.
However, given the free nature of the Free Demo, the Provider reserves the right to limit or terminate the Free Demo at any time.
b) Paid versions of the Application
The Customer may choose a different version of the Provider's Application and Services for a particular User, the description of which is located in the Application, and change the existing Agreement by paying the Price for any of them.
The description of these variants always includes the scope and manner of possible use of the Application and Services by the User (otherwise to the same extent and manner as the Free Demo) the duration of the possibility to use the Application and Services (usually 1 month, 6 months, or 1 year) within this scope, and the indication of the Price. To the extent that a description of the individual variants of the Application and Services is not provided in the Application, these GTC shall govern.
In these variants, persons using the Application for the specified period of time shall always have the option to also use the Services with a guaranteed response time, i.e. the time between the registration of a support request and the notification of the proposed solution.
3.4. Restriction of the possibility to use the Application and Services
The Provider is entitled to interrupt the operation of the Provider's server or other devices that affect the features of the Application or Services agreed in the Contract, especially their functionality, for a period of time strictly necessary, in case of the need to perform maintenance or modifications of these devices, as well as in case of excessive operation of the Application (e.g.
In the event of unavailability of the Application or Services to Users, or non-functionality of some of their parts due to reasons on the Provider's side, which the Provider is objectively able to prevent and can be fairly required to do so, the Customer is entitled to exercise the rights from defective performance as specified in Article 6 of the GTC. For these purposes, the Application shall be deemed unavailable to the Users only from the moment when the Customer notifies the Provider of such unavailability.
An example of such a reason is maintenance of the Application or interruption of the Provider's server or other devices for a period longer than strictly necessary, updating of the Application or other action requiring its temporary unavailability. The reasons for unavailability of the Application on the Provider's side, on the other hand, do not include, in particular, factors beyond the Provider's control, the result of third party software or hardware, planned service downtime, or other temporary or permanent unforeseeable and insurmountable obstacles independent of the Provider's will.
The Provider shall notify the Customer of a planned service outage of which it becomes aware and which results in the unavailability of the Application for more than 8 hours at least 3 days in advance. The Provider shall inform the Customer of other reasons for the suspension of performance and the reason for it without undue delay after becoming aware of them.
Users are not entitled to use the Application or Services in a manner that could cause damage to the Provider or other persons, violate the rights of such persons, or restrict the use of the Application and Services by other persons, or in other ways for which the Application is not obviously intended (e.g.
If the Provider has reason to believe that any of the Users is using the Application or the Services in an unauthorized manner, violating the terms of the License (see Article 4), or otherwise violating the Agreement, the Provider may, upon prior notice to the Customer sent to the electronic address provided during registration, restrict the License or, in the extreme case, withdraw from the Agreement, including by cancelling the created Customer Account.
In necessary cases worthy of special consideration, if the Provider finds that any of the Users is in material breach of the terms of the Agreement or uses the Application in violation of the law, it is entitled to withdraw from the Agreement without prior notice or take other appropriate steps to remedy the situation.
