The action of canceling payment reverts the site to the free trial arrangement where full site features will still be available but limited to 3 active users per month. To re-enable more than 3 active users, a site can re-enter card details at any time. Canceling payment does not affect account, user or course data associated with the site. At the point of cancellation, a payment will be taken for the number of active users who have accessed the site during the current billing period, prorated according to the position in the billing cycle. Prepaid credit is non-refundable, but will remain in the site's prepay account and be available should the payment arrangement be reactivated.
13. Site Termination policy
Calibrae sites can be terminated at any time. A site can be terminated by the site administrator by request to Calibrae support (contact@calibrae.zendesk.com). Once terminated, a site will no longer be available to any site user including site administrators, team members or site customers. No site termination notification will be sent to site users. At the point of termination, a final payment will be taken for the number of active users who have accessed the site during the current billing period, prorated according to the position in the billing cycle. Prepaid credit is non-refundable.
14. Learner questions, answers & comments

18. Entire Agreement
You understand and agree that the above Terms constitute the entire general agreement between you and this site. You may be subject to additional Terms and conditions when you use, purchase or access other services, affiliate services or third-party content or material.
Platform License Plans
The Calibrae platform offers a number of license plans to cater for a range of customer-site needs. The following defines the terms and conditions for each plan. (See our Pricing page for actual prices.)
1. Starter Plan
The Starter Plan is a free, no-obligation plan that enables potential customers to fully explore the Calibrae platform in order to assess suitability. The Starter Plan has full access to all of the platform's tools, with the exception of the ability to sell courses. The number of permitted site users is 3.
2. All-inclusive Plan
The All-inclusive Plan is designed for organisations that want unlimited access to unlimited courses for a given number of users - Eg all employees; all customers; everyone in the sales team, etc. The All-inclusive Plan has a fixed annual fee, payable at the beginning of the annual billing period, based on the number of required users. For example, an organisation with 5000 employees has 38 courses that they wish to be available to all of its employees at any point in time, with the certainty of a fixed cost. All 5000 employees have access to unlimited courses at any point in time and as frequently as they wish during the annual billing period.
When All-inclusive plan sites sell courses, all course-sales revenue goes directly to the site. Calibrae does not take any portion of such course-sales revenue. The number of agreed users will include anticipated users to whom courses are sold.
If the actual number of users accessing the site exceeds the agreed number, Calibrae will permit access to those additional users. If the actual number of users regularly exceeds the agreed number (ie over 2 consecutive months or more), Calibrae will make contact to discuss formally increasing the agreed number of users on a pro-rate basis.
3. Revenue Share Plan
The Revenue Share Plan is designed for organisations whose prime objective is to sell courses, and who want zero risk and zero upfront costs. At the point of sale, Calibrae takes an agreed percentage revenue share. For example, a Revenue Share site may sell a course for £100. With an agreed rate of 15%, at point of sale, the site receives an £85 share and Calibrae receives a £15 share.
Fair Usage
Calibrae recognises scope for the Revenue Share plan to be miss-used by setting course fees at £0, but subsequently charging users outside of the platform and effectively avoiding platform charges (15% of £0.00 is £0.00!). Calibrae customers who choose the Revenue Share plan agree to be fair in their use of the plan and to share 15% of the generated course revenue. They also understand that it is not intended as a means to deliver zero-cost training. Calibrae monitors the usage of Revenue Share plan license sales and reserves the right to close sites it deems to be miss-using the plan.

Data Governance - how we manage it
At Calibrae, we are serious about protecting data and privacy. We have a nominated director who is responsible to the CEO and Calibrae Board for the management and protection of personal data.
Data Protection Officer
Our CTO is designated as the Data Protection Officer. To contact the DPO email dpo@calibrae.com.
Data Protection Impact Assessments
Part of our process to secure data is to hold periodic Data Protection Impact Assessments - something we do at least on a 3 year cycle. Conducting DPIAs is the responsibility of our DPO. Calibrae directors then have shared responsibility to ensure that any issues identified in the DPIA are prioritised, addressed and rectified.
Data incidents and how they will be handled
Any data breach, whether suspected or actual, is reported to DPO upon discovery of the breach. The DPO will work with all/any relevant parties to investigate the report, and if confirmed:
- do all necessary to contain the breach
- determine the full particulars of it
- work out what needs to be done to resolve and remedy the situation properly
- establishing who needs to be notified, including, potentially the police if equipment or records have been stolen
- notify the identified parties within 72 hours
The DPO will then conduct a more thorough investigation and assessment of the breach to determine the scale of the breach, including:
- the scale of severity - the type of data released, the size of the compromised data set and the number of people affected, and whether or not the data has been released outside of the company
- who will be affected by the breach and to what degree
- how much data is involved
- how many data subjects will be affected
- the consequences of the breach
- etc.
The DPO will also determine if the Information Commissioner’s Office needs to be informed, as well as informing the individual data subjects whose data is involved in the breach. All decisions made are documented, along with the reasoning.
Once the breach itself is resolved and all necessary parties notified, the DPO will document which steps should be taken to prevent similar breaches from occurring in the future. Existing practices, procedures, and measures will be critically evaluated, and changes and improvements implemented.
Data retention - what happens to your data if you close your account
In the Privacy Policy section of this document, we outline which of 4 possible actions we will take regarding different types of data when a request is made for the data to be forgotten:
- permanently delete the data,
- soft delete the data,
- soft delete the data, keeping it in archive solely for audit purposes, or
- soft delete then anonymize the data.
Upon formal closure of your account, we will apply the defined actions to your data as described in each data type above.
GDPR training for Calibrae staff
All Calibrae staff are required to compete training to help them better understand how to keep data secure and identify attempts to breach our security measures. It also helps them better understand their responsibilities and the consequence of any breach.
Staff are required to refresh their training every two years.
Calibrae data breach risk assessment
Our DPO conducts periodic risk assessments relating to the protection of personal data. The assessment process includes:
- creating an action plan to control/mitigate any discovered risks
- prioritisation of tasks on the plan, depending on severity
- a review process to follow up on actions/controls/mitigations
- reporting any issues to senior management
