Plain English "Confidential Information" covers anything about Apolitical that isn't already publicly available, including our courses, AI tools, Service design, and any features you access before they're officially launched. If it's not something we've shared with the world, or that is publicly available, treat it as confidential.

You can use Apolitical for your own professional development and within your organisation in line with any agreements we have in place with your organisation. You cannot use our Service, Content, or anything generated through it to make money, for example by reselling it, repackaging it, or building it into a commercial product, unless we've given you explicit written permission to do so.

Apolitical's Terms & Conditions

9.1 Permitted Use. You may access and use the Service solely for Your own personal professional development and internal organisational purposes. Any use of the Service, its content, or its outputs for commercial purposes, including but not limited to resale, redistribution, sub-licensing, or incorporation into commercial products or services, is strictly prohibited without Apolitical's prior written consent.

Plain English: Don't share Our Confidential Information with anyone else. This means no screenshots of our Service, no copying and distributing course materials, no sharing details about features you've accessed early, and no passing on insights or outputs that are clearly derived from our systems.

Apolitical's Terms & Conditions

9.2 Non-Disclosure. You must not disclose, reproduce, republish, or transmit any Confidential Information to any third party. This includes, without limitation:

• 9.2.1 screenshots, recordings, or copies of Service features, AI tools, or interface designs;

• 9.2.2 course content, assessments, or learning materials in whole or in part;

• 9.2.3 any information relating to beta services or pre-release features, which You acknowledge carry a heightened expectation of confidentiality; and

• 9.2.4 any data, insights, or outputs derived from use of the Service that would reasonably be understood to originate from or reflect Apolitical's proprietary systems or methodologies.

Plain English: Where Apolitical grants You access to services designated as beta, pilot, or experimental ("Beta Services"), such access is granted on a confidential basis. Members must not disclose the existence, nature, or functionality of Beta Services to any third party without Apolitical's prior written consent.

9.3 Beta and Pre-Release Services. Where Apolitical grants You access to services designated as beta, pilot, or experimental ("Beta Services"), such access is granted on a confidential basis. You must not disclose the existence, nature, or functionality of Beta Services to any third party without Apolitical's prior written consent.

Plain English: Using our Service doesn't give you any ownership over it. Everything, including the content, the AI tools, the Service itself, belongs to Apolitical, unless otherwise indicated it is owned by a third party. If You misuse or share Our Confidential Information without permission, we may take legal action, including seeking an emergency court order to stop it happening, not just financial compensation after the fact.

9.4 Intellectual Property. Nothing in these Terms transfers any intellectual property rights to You. All rights in the Service, Content, AI tools, and associated materials remain the exclusive property of Apolitical or its licensors. Users acknowledge that unauthorised use or disclosure of Confidential Information may cause Apolitical irreparable harm for which damages alone may be an inadequate remedy, and that Apolitical shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in addition to any other remedies available at law.

Plain English: These Terms form an agreement between You and Apolitical and concern Your use of the Service. They are subject to change and should therefore be reviewed regularly.

14.5 Apolitical’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by Apolitical in writing. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any right or remedy.

14.6 Unless otherwise expressly stated, nothing in these Terms shall create any rights or any other benefits whether pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise in favour of any person other than You and Apolitical.
