These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are between you and Kendal Slack (“we”, “us”, “our”), an independent software developer based in Queensland, Australia. They govern your use of every app we publish on the Apple App Store and Mac App Store — the primary-school apps (Sightwords Superhero, Typing Ninja, Grammar Quest, Maths Monsters), the HSC, QCAA and VCE Year 12 Study series, the free word games (Anagram Royale, Fake or Real, Riddle Run) and Napcat. By downloading or using any of them, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the apps.
The apps are licensed, not sold. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and use our apps on Apple devices you own or control, for your own personal, family or classroom use (including devices managed through Apple School Manager / Volume Purchase). In return, you agree not to:
Our apps are distributed only through Apple's App Store and Mac App Store, so your use is also subject to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “standard EULA”). Where these Terms and Apple's standard EULA both apply they work together; if they genuinely conflict for an App Store purchase, Apple's terms prevail to the extent required. You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation to provide support or maintenance for the apps, is not responsible for any product or content claims, and that Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them.
Some apps are free, some are a one-time purchase, and some offer optional one-time unlocks or auto-renewing subscriptions (for example the Amy AI tutor, or a game's ad-removal subscription). All payments, renewals, price changes and refunds are handled by Apple through your Apple ID — we never see your card details. Auto-renewing subscriptions continue until you cancel; manage or cancel any time in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions, at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Refund requests go to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
The Year 12 Study apps include Amy, an optional AI tutor powered by Anthropic's Claude. When you choose to use her, the text you submit (typically a question, your answer and the relevant marking guideline) is sent securely to Anthropic for marking or explanation, as described in our privacy policy. Please don't submit personal, sensitive or confidential information. AI can make mistakes: Amy's marks, feedback and explanations are a study aid — not a guarantee of your real exam result, and not professional, legal, medical or financial advice. Always check important answers against your official course materials and your teacher.
The Year 12 Study apps are independent study aids. They are not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to NESA, the QCAA, the VCAA, ACARA, or any school or examination authority, and those names and any exam trademarks belong to their respective owners. Where an app uses original exam-style problems (for example the Mathematics apps), those problems are our own work written to match the syllabus, not reproductions of past exam papers. Study materials help you prepare; we can't promise any particular ATAR, mark or outcome.
Anagram Royale, Fake or Real and Riddle Run are free and supported by ads through Google AdMob, which you can remove with an optional subscription. How ads and tracking work, and how to turn personalised ads off, is set out in section 8 of our privacy policy.
Everything in the apps — the questions, artwork, characters (like the Alphabeasts, the monsters and Amy), music, and the apps themselves — is owned by Kendal Slack or its licensors and protected by copyright and other laws. These Terms don't transfer any of it to you. If you send us feedback, ideas or suggestions, thank you — you agree we may use them to improve the apps, with no obligation to you.
We build these apps with care, but to the fullest extent the law allows they are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind — we don't promise they will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose, and to the extent permitted by law we aren't liable for indirect or consequential loss. Importantly, nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other laws that cannot be excluded. Where a guarantee applies and the law allows us to limit our liability, that liability is limited to re-supplying the app or paying the cost of doing so.
Our primary-school apps are designed for children and published in Apple's Kids category; the Year 12 apps are made for senior-secondary students. We collect no personal information from any user (see the privacy policy). Parents, guardians and teachers are responsible for supervising children's use and for any purchases made on a device they control.
We may update the apps and these Terms from time to time; the effective date above will change and, for significant changes, we'll flag it in-app. Continuing to use an app after an update means you accept the updated Terms. Your licence ends automatically if you break these Terms, and you can end it any time by deleting the app. Apple may also stop distributing an app.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia, and you and we submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of its courts — without affecting any consumer rights you have where you live. Questions? Email hello [at] kendalslack [dot] com or visit our support page.
