The Agreement may provide that the use of the Application is to a certain extent agreed as free of charge.
  2. The Customer undertakes to ensure compliance with the Agreement also by other users who use the Application on the basis of its designation, since the Customer shall be liable for any breach of the obligations arising from the Agreement as if it had breached the relevant obligations itself. All actions taken by the users designated by the User shall be binding on the Customer itself.
  3. The Customer undertakes, inter alia, to secure the consent of the persons so designated, which is required of the Customer for the purposes of the Agreement.
  4. The Agreement shall be concluded by registering the Customer in the Application's registration interface. The Customer shall register by filling in the registration data, which are the Customer's first name, surname, e-mail address, and password chosen by the Customer. The email address and password shall be later used to access the Application by the Customer and other Users.

  8.

This change shall take effect on the date of payment of the Price.
  9. The Provider reserves the right to change the terms of use of the Application to a reasonable extent, in particular the scope of possible use of the Application, whereby the Customer shall always be informed of such change via the e-mail address it provided upon registration to the Application.

Upon withdrawal from the Agreement in accordance with the procedure set out in the preceding paragraph, the withdrawal form located in the Application under the Settings/Support tab may also be used.

The User uses a selected character to navigate an island called MathgorasTM and performs a logical mathematical task in each round. The logic tasks are linked to functioning in everyday life. The game consists of five levels that represent a given grade in elementary school. Each level has ten unique rounds and each round has five difficulty levels.
  2. The Application is accessible to Users via the Android or iOS operating systems for smartphones and tablets, provided there is an internet connection. It is the User's responsibility to maintain the terminal equipment in such a manner as to ensure the use of the Application. The Provider shall not provide any support thereto.

  4. The Application usage options are as follows:

    a) Free level one of the Game

    By entering into the Agreement, the Customer shall be entitled to use the free variant of the Application, under which the level one of the Game shall be provided to the Customer for an unlimited period of time from the date of entering into the Agreement.

VII hereof. In such case, the Application shall be deemed unavailable only from the moment when the Customer notifies the Provider of such unavailability.

  8. If the Provider suspects that any of the Users is using the Application in an unauthorized manner, violates the terms of the License, or otherwise breaches the Agreement, the Provider may, after prior notice to the Customer sent to the e-mail address provided upon registration, restrict the License or, in extreme cases, withdraw from the Agreement, even cancel the created Customer Account.
  9. In necessary cases, if the Provider finds that any of the Users substantially breaches the terms and conditions of the Agreement or uses the Application in violation of legal regulations, the Provider shall be entitled to withdraw from the Agreement without prior notice or take other appropriate steps to remedy the situation.
