Terms of Service

By accessing or using LearnEnglish Canada (the "Website"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the "Terms"). These Terms apply to all visitors and users, including individuals who browse learning resources, participate in community pages, or contact us.

You must be at least 16 years old to use this Website. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you confirm that you have permission from a parent or legal guardian to use the Website and that they agree to these Terms on your behalf. If you are a parent or guardian and you permit a minor to use the Website, you are responsible for the minor’s activity.

LearnEnglish Canada provides education-focused English learning content and related services, which may include online courses, study resources, community discussion prompts, and event information (collectively, the "Services"). Our Services are designed to help learners develop skills such as reading, writing, listening, speaking, and practical communication for school and workplace contexts.

The Services are offered for informational and educational purposes. We may update, expand, reduce, or discontinue specific pages, modules, resources, or features at any time. We may also impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts of the Website to protect security, prevent misuse, or maintain performance.

We do not guarantee that any course, resource, or community activity will meet a specific learning outcome. Progress depends on many factors such as your starting level, practice frequency, and language exposure outside the Website.

You agree to use the Website only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe the rights of others or restrict their use and enjoyment of the Website. You are responsible for your actions while using the Services.

If any account, registration, or gated access is offered now or in the future, you agree to provide accurate information and keep it up to date. You agree not to share access credentials with others and to maintain one account per person where account functionality exists. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account.
