These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of:

  • the website https://imfree.school (the “Website”);
  • the mobile application branded as “imfree – student” (the “App”);

If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

  • supervision outside actual lesson time;
  • the Student’s behavior in shared areas;
  • ensuring the Student is accompanied/escorted where necessary.

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time, including teachers, schedules, locations, features, and availability.


4) Pinokee platform; third-party services

4.1 Pinokee platform for scheduling and online lessons

We use a third-party platform (Pinokee) to plan, schedule, and deliver online lessons (including video connectivity), and to handle operational workflows.

Your lesson schedule may be displayed in the App, and you may receive notifications about lesson creation, changes, or cancellations.

4.2 Payment flow and responsibilities

Your payment journey may start on imfree.school (e.g., a “Pay” link) and then continue via redirect, embedded iframe, or similar mechanism to Pinokee and/or payment processors.

  • Payment processing is performed by third-party payment processors (e.g., Revolut, Stripe, PayPal, Wise, Paddle, WayForPay, and others we may enable).
  • Payment handling and payment status callbacks (e.g., crediting lessons/packages, confirming payment status, reconciliation, and related operational events) may be performed on the Pinokee platform.

We do not store full payment card details. We may receive limited payment metadata (e.g., status, amount, currency, timestamp, order/reference IDs).

4.3 Third-party terms and disclaimers

Your use of Pinokee and payment processors is subject to their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party actions, outages, data practices performed as independent controllers, fees, exchange rates, declines, delays, or technical failures.

4.4 No guarantee of online quality

Online lesson quality depends on device capabilities, third-party services, and network conditions. We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, any minimum bandwidth/latency, or error-free connectivity.


5) Accounts, authentication, and communications

5.1 Account security

You are responsible for maintaining accurate information and for all activity under your account/device.

If you do not notify us at least 6 hours before the scheduled start time, the lesson may be treated as delivered and the full lesson value may be charged/deducted.

8.2 Teacher cancellation

If we or the teacher cancel, the lesson will generally be rescheduled.

8.3 Force majeure

If a lesson cannot be delivered due to events beyond reasonable control (including power/internet outages, platform outages, air raid alerts, war-related disruptions, governmental actions, natural disasters, or similar events), the lesson will generally be rescheduled.

We may determine, in our reasonable discretion, whether an event qualifies as force majeure for scheduling purposes.
