Refund Policy

Refund Policy

This policy applies to all Science Worksheets and the mark schemes purchased at www.scienceworksheets.co.uk operated by Science Worksheets, Mark Scates (Sole Trader), Rainham, Essex, UK (“Science Worksheets”, “we”, “us”, “our”),.

Please Note: It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with this policy. By placing an order, you indicate that you have read this policy and that you agree with and fully accept the terms of this policy. If you do not agree with or fully accept the terms of this policy, we ask that you do not place an order with us.

REFUND POLICY

We provide digital worksheets and mark schemes only. Once the worksheets are made available to you through your account or by download, access to the digital content has started and the purchase cannot be reversed.

Because of this, we do not offer refunds for change of mind, accidental purchases, or where you later decide that the worksheets are no longer needed or were not what you expected, provided the content matches its description. This does not affect your legal rights where a refund is required by law, such as if the digital content is faulty or cannot be accessed.

STATUTORY CANCELLATION RIGHTS FOR DIGITAL CONTENT

Under UK consumer law, you normally have a 14-day right to cancel an online purchase.
This right does not apply to digital content once delivery has started, provided that you requested immediate access and acknowledged that this would result in the loss of your 14-day cancellation right.

When you purchase worksheets from our website, you are required to confirm before any download begins that you want immediate access to the digital content and that you understand this means you will lose your 14-day right to cancel.

Once access is provided or a download starts, you will no longer be entitled to cancel your order for a change of mind.

NO CHANGE-OF-MIND REFUNDS AFTER DOWNLOAD

Once access to the worksheets has been provided or a download has started, refunds are not available for change-of-mind reasons. This includes situations where you purchased the worksheets by mistake, no longer need them, expected something different, or did not use or complete the worksheets after downloading them.

Please make sure the worksheets meet your needs before placing an order.

TECHNICAL ISSUES AND FAULTY DIGITAL CONTENT

If you experience a genuine technical issue that prevents you from accessing or using the worksheets, please contact us with details of the problem.
Where required by law, we will work with you to resolve the issue by restoring access, fixing the problem, or offering a refund if the digital content is faulty and cannot be fixed. Downloading the worksheets and later claiming a technical issue does not automatically entitle you to a refund.

CHARGEBACKS, PAYPAL DISPUTE OR SECTION 75 CCA 1974 CLAIMS

If you have a question or concern about a purchase, you agree to contact us first so we can try to resolve the issue.

If you raise a chargeback, PayPal dispute, or Section 75 claim for a purchase that has already been
delivered or accessed, we reserve the right to provide evidence to the relevant payment provider showing that the digital content was supplied and accessed in accordance with our Terms of Service.

Where a dispute is raised without a valid reason, we may suspend access to your account, restrict future purchases, and take reasonable steps to protect our business from misuse of our services. This does not affect your legal rights.

This Refund Policy forms part of our Terms of Service. The confirmations you provide during checkout, including your agreement to immediate digital access and the loss of cancellation rights, form part of the binding contract between you and us.

HELP AND COMPLAINTS

If you have any questions about refunds or this policy, you can contact us using info@scienceworksheets.co.uk.

The first version of this policy was issued on Friday, 17th of January, 2025, and is the current version. Any prior versions are invalid, and if we make changes to this policy, we will revise the effective date.

Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Welcome to www.scienceworksheets.co.uk. Data protection and data security when using our website are very important to us. We would therefore like to inform you which of your Personal Data we collect when you visit our website and for what purposes it is used.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?

The person responsible in the sense of the UK`s Data Protection Act (“DPA”) and the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) is Science Worksheets, Mark Scates (Sole Trader), Rainham, Essex, UK (“Science Worksheets”, “we”, “us”, “our”). Please direct any questions you may have to info@scienceworksheets.co.uk using “Data Protection” in the subject line.

PRINCIPLES OF DATA PROCESSING

Personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, e-mail address, IP address or user behaviour.
Processing

The processing of Personal Data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis.

Legal basis

In accordance with the DPA and the GDPR, we process Personal Data only where we have a lawful basis to do so. This may include: i) where you have given your consent, ii) where the data is necessary to take steps before entering into a contract or to perform a contract with you (such as providing access to digital worksheets), iii) where we are required to comply with a legal obligation, or iv) where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests, provided that your rights and interests are not overridden.

Retention

Processed Personal Data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no longer any legally required retention obligations.

Records relating to worksheet downloads are retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil contractual obligations, comply with legal and accounting requirements, and handle disputes or chargebacks, after which they are securely deleted or anonymised.

DATA WE COLLECT

Provision and use of the website
When you call up and use our website, we collect the Personal

Data that your browser automatically transmits to our server. This is technically necessary for us to display our website and to ensure its stability and security. In this sense, we collect the following data: i) IP address of the requesting computer, ii) Date and time of access, iii) name and URL of the file accessed, iv) website from which the access was made (referrer URL), v) browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer as well as the name of your access provider. The legal basis is our legitimate interest.

When you purchase and download worksheets from our website, we also record information about your use of our digital content. This includes which worksheet or mark scheme is downloaded, and the date and time of each download.

This information is linked to your user account or purchase and is collected to provide access to the digital content, manage user accounts, prevent misuse of our services, handle customer support queries, and resolve payment, refund, or chargeback disputes. The legal basis for this processing is the performance of our contract with you and our legitimate interest in protecting our digital content and ensuring fair use of our services.

Hosting

We use the hosting services of Hostinger for the purpose of hosting and displaying our website. Hostinger does so on the basis of processing on our behalf, and that also means that all data collected on our website and shop is processed on Hostinger’s servers. The basis for processing is our legitimate interest and the initiation and/or fulfilment of a contract.

Privacy Policy

Content Management System
We use the open-source Content Management System (CMS) of WordPress.org to publish and maintain the created and edited content and texts on our website. This means that all content, texts, and contact data submitted to us are transferred to and stored on our Hostinger servers. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest.

WooCommerce

To provide our checkout, we use the WooCommerce service developed and operated by Automattic Inc,. WooCommerce provides us with their online e-commerce platform through which we can offer our goods for sale to you. Both your inventory data and your usage data are stored on WooCommerce’s servers. The legal basis for processing is our legitimate interest.

hCaptcha

We also use hCaptcha from Intuition Machines, Inc to check whether data input is made by a human being or by an automated program. For this purpose, hCaptcha analyzes the behavior of the website visitor on the basis of various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. The legal basis for using hCaptcha is our legitimate interest.

Fonts

We have integrated Google Fonts by Google, and Font Awesome of Fonticons Inc. To enable the display of fonts, a connection to Font Awesome’s and Google’s server is established when our website is accessed. This enables Google and Fonticons to determine which website sent the request and to which IP address the display of the font is to be transmitted. The integration is based on our legitimate interest.

Cookies

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are pieces of information that are transmitted from our web server or third-party web servers to your web browser and stored there for later retrieval. Cookies may be small files or other types of information storage. As set out in the UK`s Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (“PECR”) and the EU`s counterpart the Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (“PECD”), we need to obtain consent for the use of non-essential cookies. For further information on the cookies we use, please refer to our Cookie Policy. The legal basis for processing is our legitimate interest and your consent.

Cookie consent

Our website uses a cookie consent management tool to obtain your consent to the storage of cookies and to document this consent. When you enter our website, the following Personal Data is transferred to us: i) Your consent(s) or revocation of your consent(s); ii) Your IP address; iii) Information about your browser; iv) Information about your device; v) Time of your visit to our website. The basis for processing is our legitimate interest.

Contacting us

We offer you the opportunity to contact us using various methods. We collect the data you submit, such as your name, email address, telephone number, and your message in order to process your enquiry and respond to you. The legal basis is both your consent and contract.

Contractual Services

We process the Personal Data involved when you enter into a contract with us in order to be able to provide our contractual services, for example our tuition service. This includes in particular our support, correspondence with you, invoicing, and fulfilment of our contractual, accounting, and tax obligations. Accordingly, the data is processed on the basis of fulfilling our contractual obligations and our legal obligations. This also includes monitoring access to and downloads of purchased digital worksheets in order to provide the service correctly and to maintain records of digital content delivery.

When using our document access services

When you are using our document access services you can provide a variety of data such as your name, post and email address when you create a profile and account. Doing so we process that data within the Privacy Policy framework of the provision of our services and for the initiation and processing of the existing contractual relationship between you and us.

Thus, we process your Personal Data and all information that is necessary in the context of fulfilling the services, exclusively for the purpose of processing and handling the contractual relationship.

Payment Data

To make a purchase, you may need to provide a valid payment method (e.g., credit card). Your payment information will be collected and processed by our authorised payment vendors, Stripe, PayPal, and Stripe. We do not directly collect or store credit or debit card numbers ourselves in the ordinary course of processing transactions. The legal basis for the provision of a payment system is the establishment and implementation of the contract.

Administration, financial accounting, office organisation, contact management

We process data in the context of administrative tasks as well as organisation of our business, and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In this regard, we process the same data that we process in the course of providing our contractual services. The processing bases are our legal obligations and our legitimate interest.

DATA SECURITY

We undertake to protect your privacy and to treat your Personal Data confidentially. In order to prevent manipulation, loss, or misuse of your data stored with us, we take extensive technical and organisational security precautions which are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress. These include, among other things, the use of recognised encryption procedures (SSL or TLS).

However, we would like to point out that, due to the structure of the Internet, it is possible that the rules of data protection and the above-mentioned security measures are not observed by other persons or institutions that are not in our area of responsibility. We have no technical influence on this. It is the user’s responsibility to protect the data he or she provides against misuse by encrypting it or in any other way.

HOW WE MAY SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We may share your Personal Data with our business partners for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including (but not limited to) conducting the services you request, or customising our services to better meet your needs.
