1.2 Acceptance of Terms
By registering for an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these Terms, you must not use the Service.
1.3 Authority to Accept
By accepting these Terms on behalf of an Institution, you represent and warrant that:
- You have the authority to bind the Institution to these Terms
- You are authorized to provide the consents and make the commitments set out in these Terms
- The Institution will comply with these Terms and all applicable laws
1.4 Scope and Purpose
The Sense Path Service is designed to help schools and educational institutions assess and understand children's sensory needs by collecting and analyzing assessment data. The Service provides insights, recommendations, and reports to support educators, special educational needs coordinators (SENCOs), and other professionals.
2. Service Description
2.1 Core Features
The Service provides the following core features:
- User Account Management: Create and manage user accounts and workspace memberships, including inviting new staff and assigning roles
- Workspace management: Create one or more workspaces; each workspace has its own data, billing, and member list. A single user account may belong to multiple workspaces.
- Member roles: Owner, Admin, and Member roles within each workspace, with permissions scoped accordingly (Owner: full control including billing and member management; Admin: member management and content; Member: content only).
- Child Record Management: Create and manage child records using identifiers chosen by the Institution
- Child Record Ownership: Profiles (child records) belong to the workspace, not to the user who created them. When a staff member leaves a workspace, profiles remain with the workspace.
- Sensory Assessments: Conduct assessments using 60 evidence-based sensory behavior questions across six categories:
- Visual processing
- Auditory processing
- Tactile processing
- Olfactory processing
- Proprioception
- Vestibular processing
- Targets: Optionally select up to two focus areas per assessment; plans bias activities toward those targets.
- Sensory circuits: Generate, save, link to profiles, and edit sensory regulating / alerting / calming activity sequences (10-20 minutes, configurable).
- Environmental adjustments: Track classroom adjustments per profile against a curated catalogue.
- Automated Analysis: Generate sensory profiles based on assessment responses
- Recommendations: Receive evidence-based goal recommendations and intervention strategies
- Visualisations: Radar, bar, and line charts for individual and workspace-level views.
- Reporting: Access assessment reports and data; export to PDF directly from the application without needing to contact support
- Data Management: View, edit, archive, and delete assessment data and profiles; export data via in-application PDF export at any time
- PDF export (data portability): Self-service PDF export of profiles, assessments, plans, and circuits.
- Accessibility settings: Per-user font size, OpenDyslexic font, simplified view, reduced motion, colour scheme, and colourblind palette.
2.2 Service Availability
- The Service is provided via web application accessible through standard web browsers
- We aim to maintain 99.5% uptime (excluding scheduled maintenance)

- We do not guarantee uninterrupted access and are not liable for service interruptions
2.3 Service Modifications
We may:

3. Data Protection and Privacy
3.1 Data Controller and Processor Roles
Critical Important Information:
For data processed through the Service:
- The Institution is the Data Controller for children's assessment data
- Sense Path Ltd is the Data Processor for children's assessment data
- Sense Path Ltd is the Data Controller for Institution account and staff user data
This distinction is critical for UK GDPR compliance.
3.2 Data Processing Agreement
Our Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is incorporated into and forms part of these Terms. The DPA sets out:
- The scope, nature, and purpose of data processing

The DPA is available on request — please email contact@sensepath.org and we will send you the current version for review. The Institution must read and comply with the DPA.
3.3 Institution's Data Protection Obligations
As Data Controller for children's assessment data, the Institution is responsible for:
Lawful Basis: Establishing and documenting an appropriate lawful basis for processing under UK GDPR (typically consent, public task, or legitimate interests)
Consents: Obtaining necessary consents from parents, guardians, or carers before processing children's data (where consent is the chosen lawful basis)
Privacy Notices: Providing appropriate privacy notices to parents/guardians and children
Data Subject Rights: Responding to data subject access requests and other rights requests from parents/guardians or children
Data Accuracy: Ensuring that data entered into the Service is accurate and kept up to date

- Implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures
- Assist with data subject rights requests
- Notify breaches within 24 hours
- Assist with DPIAs and security compliance
- Only engage approved sub-processors
- Delete or return data upon request
- Submit to audits and inspections
- Not transfer data outside UK/EEA without consent
Full details are in the Data Processing Agreement and Privacy Policy.
3.5 Privacy Policy
Our Privacy Policy (available at https://sensepath.org/legal/privacy) explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal data. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms.
3.6 Data Location and International Transfers
All personal data is stored and processed in the United Kingdom or European Economic Area:
- Database storage and Cloud Functions: Belgium (Google Cloud
europe-west1). Realtime Database (legacy, in use during migration) is also hosted ineurope-west1. - Web hosting, serverless functions, cache, and edge: London, United Kingdom (Netlify
eu-west-2).
The UK holds an adequacy decision from the European Commission, so transfers from the EEA to the UK do not require additional safeguards. Our web hosting sub-processor (Netlify, Inc.) is incorporated in the United States and operates under Standard Contractual Clauses for any controller-side processing — see our Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement for full details.
We will not transfer Personal Data outside the UK or EEA without the Institution's prior written consent.
4. Account Registration and Access
4.1 Account Creation
To use the Service, the Institution must:
- Register for an account by providing accurate institution details
- Each workspace has an Owner with authority to manage the account; additional Admin and Member roles can be assigned

- Each user must have their own individual account (no shared accounts)
- Users may only access the Institution's own data
- The Institution is responsible for all activity under its account and user accounts
- A single user account may be a member of multiple workspaces. Workspace data is fully isolated -- a user can only access data within workspaces they are a member of

- Use strong, unique passwords
- Enable multi-factor authentication where available
- Not share login credentials with unauthorized persons
- Notify us immediately at contact@sensepath.org if accounts are compromised

- There is suspected unauthorized access or security breach
- The account is being used in breach of these Terms
- Payment is overdue (after reasonable notice)
- We are required to do so by law or regulatory authority

We will notify the Institution and provide an opportunity to remedy issues where appropriate.
4.6 Support Access (Impersonation)
To investigate support issues, authorised Sense Path staff may access your workspace by signing in as a user via a time-limited support token. This is initiated by Sense Path admin staff and requires the support staff member to manually paste the token in a browser. Tokens expire after one hour.
Impersonation sessions are logged in our admin systems with the operator, target user, and timestamp.
Where reasonably practicable, we will notify the workspace Owner before using impersonation. By using the Service, you consent to impersonation for legitimate support and security purposes; you may opt out by emailing contact@sensepath.org, in which case we will only diagnose support issues using information you provide.

7. Subscription and Payment
7.1 Subscription Plans
The Service is provided on a subscription basis. Subscription plans may vary by:
- Number of profiles (the primary pricing dimension -- £3 per profile per month, or £30 per profile per year)
- Billing cadence (monthly or annual)
- Plan type (self-service via Stripe, or invoiced "Custom plan" for trust / multi-school deals and approved family arrangements)
Trial: New workspaces start on a 6-week trial with a 50-profile capacity, no card required. Trials do not auto-convert -- you choose to subscribe at any point during or after the trial.
Plan downgrade rule: When choosing or changing a paid plan, you can only select plans whose profile capacity is greater than or equal to your current profile count (active plus archived). To choose a smaller plan, delete profiles you no longer need first.
Current pricing and plan details are available on our website or by contacting contact@sensepath.org.
7.2 Subscription Period
- Subscriptions are provided on an annual or monthly basis as selected by the Institution
- Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled in accordance with clause 7.7
- The initial subscription period begins on the date of account activation
- Each workspace has its own subscription. A user belonging to multiple workspaces will see a separate subscription per workspace
- The Stripe customer (where applicable) represents the workspace, not the individual user, and persists across changes of workspace ownership
7.3 Fees and Payment
- Fees are as set out in the Institution's subscription plan
- Payment is due in advance (annually or monthly as applicable)
- Payment methods accepted: credit/debit card via Stripe, BACS bank transfer to a Stripe-issued VBAN (allocated automatically by reference number), or invoice (Custom plan only). PO numbers can be set per workspace and appear on Stripe invoices.
- All fees are exclusive of VAT (or other applicable taxes), which will be added where applicable
7.4 Price and Plan Changes
- We may change our fees, plan structure, tier breakpoints, profile limits per tier, or features included with each plan from time to time
- We will give at least 60 days' written notice (by email and through the Service) of any change that affects existing subscribers
- Changes always take effect at the start of the next renewal period -- never mid-cycle. Existing subscribers continue at their current pricing and plan terms until their renewal date
- If the Customer does not accept a change, it may cancel the subscription in accordance with clause 7.7 before the new terms take effect, with no penalty
- This protection applies to standard plans. Custom plans (clause 7.9) may have different terms agreed in writing
7.5 Late Payment
If payment is overdue:
- We may charge interest on overdue amounts at the rate set out in the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 (currently Bank of England base rate plus 8%)
- We may suspend access to the Service ("past due" state) after 14 days' notice. For new-regime workspaces this means a fully-locked workspace; for grandfathered workspaces existing data remains visible but creates are blocked until payment is resolved
- Suspension does not relieve the Institution of payment obligations
- Access will be restored once outstanding amounts are paid
7.6 Refunds
- Fees are non-refundable except:
- Where we terminate the agreement due to our material breach
- Where the Institution terminates due to our material breach (pro-rata refund)
- As required by applicable consumer protection laws (if applicable)
- Where we agree to a refund at our sole discretion
7.7 Cancellation by Institution
The Institution may cancel the subscription by:
- Self-service cancellation via the Stripe customer portal (linked from the workspace's billing page), or by emailing contact@sensepath.org for Custom plan customers
- Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period; the workspace remains fully accessible until that point, then transitions to a locked state
- No refund is provided for the remaining portion of the current period
Upon cancellation:
- Access to the Service continues until the end of the paid period
- The Institution should request export of any data it wishes to retain before access ends
- Data will be retained in a locked state for 90 days after cancellation. During this period, the workspace can be reactivated by resubscribing without data loss. After this period, all profile data is permanently deleted; backups are removed within a further 6 months.
7.8 Free Trials
- Trial terms: New workspaces automatically receive a 6-week trial with a 50-profile capacity. No payment information is required to start a trial.
- No auto-conversion: Trials do not automatically convert to paid subscriptions. To continue using the Service after the trial ends, you choose and subscribe to a paid plan; otherwise, the workspace transitions to a locked state.
- On expiry: Locked workspaces remain visible to their members for 90 days, during which they can be reactivated by subscribing. After this period, profile data is permanently deleted (subject to the 6-month backup retention).
- Eligibility: Trials are intended for evaluation. We may decline or limit trials at our discretion if abuse is suspected (e.g. repeated trial signups by the same Customer).
7.9 Custom Plans
Some Customers (including educational trusts, multi-school groups, and approved family arrangements) are on a "Custom plan" arranged directly with Sense Path Ltd. Custom plans are governed by these Terms in addition to any plan-specific written agreement (typically: profile allowance, billing arrangement, and term). Custom plans are billed by invoice unless agreed otherwise. Customers interested in a Custom plan can apply by emailing contact@sensepath.org.
7.10 Discontinuation of Free or Grandfathered Plans
We may discontinue free, promotional, or grandfathered plans at our discretion, including plans that have been retained for legacy users. Where we do so:
- We will give affected accounts at least 90 days' written notice (by email and through the Service)
- During the notice period, affected users may:
- Subscribe to a paid plan to retain access without interruption
- Export their data using the Service's data export tools
- Continue to use the Service under their existing plan
- After the notice period ends, accounts that have not subscribed will be locked. Data is retained and may be restored on resubscription in accordance with clause 8.5 (Effect of Termination)
- Where reasonable, we may offer affected users a transition path (such as a discounted introductory rate or extended trial), but are not obliged to do so

- All user accounts are deactivated
- Where the Customer is an individual user and the user account (not the workspace) is being terminated: solo-owned workspaces are archived (not deleted) so the workspace data can be restored if a new Owner is provisioned. Multi-member workspaces continue under the remaining Owner(s) / Admins; the leaving user's membership and any user-level fields are removed.
- Stripe billing relationship: When an individual user account is deleted, the user's link to the workspace's Stripe customer is severed before the auth user is deleted, preserving the workspace's billing relationship and history.
Data:
- The Institution may request export of all data within 30 days of termination
- We will retain data in a locked state for 90 days after termination, during which the Customer may export data via in-application PDF export, request a CSV/JSON export by email, or reactivate the workspace by resubscribing. After this period, data is permanently deleted; backups are removed within a further 6 months
- Data in backups will be deleted within 6 months
Fees:
- The Institution remains liable for all fees due up to the termination date
- No refund is provided except as specified in clause 7.6
Survival:
- Clauses that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including: Intellectual Property (clause 6), Liability (clause 10), Confidentiality (clause 12), and Governing Law (clause 15)
8.6 Data Retrieval After Termination
- The Institution must export all required data before termination or within 30 days after
- Self-service PDF export of profiles, assessments, plans, and circuits remains available for the duration of the locked-data retention window. Bulk CSV/JSON exports requested after termination are available on request; we may charge a reasonable fee for non-routine bulk exports.
