- Kinetic Letters shall not be liable to the Client for any loss or damage whether arising directly or indirectly from the late delivery or short delivery of the Resources. If short delivery does take place, the Client may not reject the Resources but shall accept the Resources delivered as part performance of the supply, and either the omission made good if reasonably possible or a pro-rata adjustment to the Price shall be made.

- repossess and use or sell all or any of the Resources and by doing so terminate the Client’s right to use, sell or otherwise deal in them; and
- for that purpose (or determining what if any Resources are held by the Client and inspecting them) and where legally entitled to do so enter any premises of or occupied by the Client.
- Kinetic Letters may maintain an action for the price of any Resources notwithstanding that title in them has not passed to the Client.
- Carriage may be chargeable on all sales.
- Fees
- The Fee shall be subject to VAT at the applicable rate.

- Notwithstanding the above, if a pro-forma invoice is issued in advance of the supply of a licence and/or resources and full payment has not been received within 30 days of its issue, Kinetic Letters may, at its absolute discretion, deem the order cancelled and void both the invoice and the associated supply.
- Payment
- The Client shall pay any invoice within thirty (30) days of their issue by Kinetic Letters.
- Payment must be made in pounds Sterling (GBP). The method of payment of the Fee by the Client to Kinetic Letters shall be by:

- Credit/debit card; where payment is made by credit/debit card, the card merchant’s processing fee shall be added to the relevant invoice.

Kinetic Letters®: Website guidelines
The following guidance forms part of these Terms and Conditions.
Schools and teachers
1 Web pages accessible by the general public
School website - unprotected: The methodology of Kinetic Letters is protected by copyright, registered trademarks and registered designs. You do not have permission to put video clips and pdfs that use Kinetic Letters resources and images on any internet site, including a school website if that site is open to the general public. And please do not put up videos showing how to form letters in the Kinetic Letters way because it will be an infringement of copyright and trademark rights. But you are allowed to use the Kinetic Letters font for typing on your website / letters etc because the fonts came with the licence that gives you permission for that.
YouTube: Please do not put video clips on YouTube unless it is a password-protected channel, as that is likely to be an infringement of copyright and trademark rights.
2 Password protected websites solely for pupils and parents
School website - protected: If you want to put videos to show what children are using in Kinetic Letters, or photocopies of pages from one of the Kinetic Letters books, you must use a password protected website where the password is only available to school staff, pupils and their parents/guardians.
We recommend a secure, password-protected learning platform where you can put some short video clips demonstrating
● Exercises to develop body strength
● Picking up and holding the pencil, singing the song and doing the finger / pencil workouts
● Writing on a Kinetic Letters pupil whiteboard, making sure you hold the whiteboard pen correctly, and saying the movements as you write the letters, capitals or numbers.
3 Sending hard copies home
If you are teaching a particular letter, you can photocopy it from the Home Pack and put the image up on your password-protected webpage so that your children can learn the movements and practise 3 By the Tree. The photocopies should be labelled “©Kinetic Letters® 2021; used with permission”.
The Home Pack has a page of instructions for parents on how to use the sheets; the page should be copied and sent to parents when the Home Pack is first used.
