Terms of use

These are the terms on which TermPlanner offers TermPlanner. By using the site you agree to them. They are written to be read, not to be hidden behind; if anything is unclear, ask.

1. The service

TermPlanner publishes school, council and university term dates and provides a planner - a calendar, timetable and task list - that runs in your browser. The planner and the published dates are free. Some features are offered as Premium (section 4).

2. The dates are a copy, and copies go stale

Every date on the site is transcribed from a document published by the council, school or university named on the page, which is linked from it. We take real care over that transcription and say on each page when it was last checked. But the school or council is the authority, not us: they change dates, and a letter home can overrule a website.

Check with your school before you book anything. We are not liable for a holiday, journey or appointment booked on the strength of a date shown here that the school or council had changed, or that we had mis-read. If you find a wrong date, please tell us so it is fixed for everyone.

3. Your planner

What you put into the planner is yours and stays on your device (see the privacy policy). Because it lives in your browser, it can be lost if you clear your browser data or change device; the account page lets you download a backup at any time, and we recommend you do. We are not responsible for a planner lost that way.

4. Premium

Some features - printing any months of the year, the full set of themes - are marked with a crown, because they may one day be part of a paid plan. Today every one of them is free for everyone, nothing is for sale and nothing is charged.

If a paid plan opens, its price and terms will be published here before anyone is asked to pay, and the free plan will keep everything the planner is for. Payment would be taken by a payment provider on its own pages; we would not hold card details.

Were a paid plan to open, the right to cancel within 14 days under the Consumer Contracts Regulations would apply to it, and cancelling would be a matter of emailing hello@termplanner.co.uk. A planner that leaves a plan keeps everything on it.

A Premium code is for your own use on your own devices. Codes handed to a class or school are for that class or school. Reselling or publishing codes is not permitted and may lead to them being revoked.

5. Using the site

You may use the site for personal, family and educational purposes, including printing calendars for a classroom or a fridge. Please do not:

• scrape or bulk-download the site, or republish its dates or drawn calendars as your own;
• attempt to interfere with the site, its data or other people’s use of it;
• submit an email address that is not yours to use.

Schools, councils and universities are welcome to link to their page and to use the printable calendar of their own dates.

6. Content and rights

The council, school and university calendars shown on their pages, and their names and logos, belong to those organisations and are shown to identify the source of the dates. An organisation that would like its document or logo removed need only ask. The site’s own text, design, drawn calendars and software are TermPlanner’s. The dates themselves are public facts and are not claimed.

7. Availability and liability

The site is provided as it is, free of charge for the most part, and we aim to keep it available but do not guarantee it. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss arising from use of the site or from reliance on a date shown on it. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or your statutory rights as a consumer.

8. Changes and law

We may update these terms; the date at the top changes when we do, and a change that affects Premium will be told to Premium customers by email before it applies. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, without affecting your right to bring a claim where you live.
