This policy forms part of our Terms of Service. It applies to everyone using TeachForge, including learners joining a lesson without an account.

1. Use it for teaching

TeachForge is a teaching platform. Use it to teach, to build teaching materials, and to assess and support learning. Everything below follows from that.

2. What you must not do

• Break the law, or use the Service to plan or carry out anything unlawful.
• Harm children. No sexual content involving minors, grooming behaviour, or content that sexualises, endangers or exploits a child. We report to the relevant authorities and do not warn first.
• Harass, bully or abuse anyone, including in board chat, Q&A, community submissions and support channels.
• Upload malware, or use the code and preview tools to attack anyone, mine cryptocurrency, or run anything unrelated to teaching.
• Attempt unauthorised access to accounts, boards, organisations or infrastructure, including probing for vulnerabilities outside a disclosure we have agreed. To report a genuine vulnerability, write to security@teachforge.ai.
• Scrape at scale, circumvent rate limits, or automate the Service in a way that degrades it for others.
• Reverse engineer the Service except where the law expressly permits it.
• Infringe intellectual property, including uploading exam papers, textbooks or resources you have no right to share.
• Share an account. Accounts are for one person. Organisations should use seats.
• Collect learner data you do not need. Do not upload identifiable learner records, photographs of children for identification, or special-category data unless you have a lawful basis and your own policy allows it. The product is designed so you do not have to.
• Misrepresent AI output as verified. AI drafts are assistive and can be wrong. Review before putting anything in front of learners — that responsibility is yours and cannot be delegated to the tool.

3. Community library

Resources submitted to the community library are reviewed before publication. Submit only work you have the right to share. Approved resources become platform-owned copies so other classrooms can rely on them — see the Privacy Policy.

4. What happens if you breach this

Depending on severity we may remove content, restrict a feature, suspend an account, terminate access, or report to the authorities. Where it is safe and lawful to do so we will tell you what happened and why, and give you a route to respond. Child-safety breaches are acted on immediately.

5. Reporting

• Safeguarding concerns: safeguarding@teachforge.ai — and your own designated safeguarding lead. In immediate danger, contact emergency services first.
• Illegal content: our report form, with or without an account — see section 22 of our Terms of Service. We confirm receipt, decide, and tell you why.
• Security vulnerabilities: security@teachforge.ai
• Anything else: hello@teachforge.ai
