Terms of use and licence

1. Who these terms are between

“Books-pro” is software supplied by BR Business Tech (“we”, “us”). “You” means the school or organisation that purchases a licence, and the individuals it authorises to use the software. A quotation, invoice and signed licence file form part of the agreement.

2. What the licence grants

Subject to payment, we grant the licensed school a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to install and use one copy of Books-pro on one server it controls, for its own internal school administration, for the licence period stated in the licence file.

• Users: unlimited authorised staff accounts within the licensed school, controlled by screen rights.
• Copies: one production installation plus a test or backup installation used only for the same school.
• Not permitted: reselling, sublicensing, renting, publishing the software, or operating it as a service for other schools without a separate written agreement.
• Reverse engineering: not permitted except to the extent the law expressly allows.

3. Fees, renewal and expiry

Fees are quoted per school in Ugandan shillings and are payable in advance unless the quotation says otherwise. The licence file covers a named server host for the period stated. Renewal is a new licence file; it is not an automatic charge on a card we do not hold.

If a licence expires, licensed features lock but school data is not deleted. You may still export the database. We may decline renewal where fees remain unpaid or where the licence has been used outside its scope.

Refunds are governed by the signed quotation. Installation and training already delivered are not refundable once performed, except where we failed to deliver what was quoted.

4. Installation, training and support

The plan description sets out the included installation, training and remote support. Support covers the software as supplied and configured. It does not cover hardware faults, operating-system problems, internet or mobile-money provider outages, or changes made by third parties.

Response times are targets, not guarantees, and depend on the support channel being reachable. Critical term-opening issues are prioritised for plans that include priority support.

5. Your data and responsibilities

You own the school data. You are responsible for lawful collection and use, for staff access rights, for backups kept off the server, and for keeping the server physically secure. We process data only to install, support and maintain the software, or as you instruct.

You must not enter payment card details into Books-pro. Digital payment providers are configured with provider-issued credentials; card data stays with the provider. You must keep those credentials confidential and tell us promptly if they may have been exposed.

6. Acceptable use

You must not use Books-pro to break the law, to send unsolicited bulk messages, to store malware, or to access data you are not authorised to see. SMS sending must comply with the provider's rules and applicable communications law.

7. Intellectual property

Books-pro, its source code, interface and documentation remain our property or that of our licensors. The licence grants use, not ownership. School data, school logos and school-created content remain yours.

8. Warranties and limitations

We warrant that we have the right to license the software and that it will materially perform as described in the documentation under the supported environment. To the extent permitted by law, all other warranties are excluded, including fitness for a particular purpose.

Tax, payroll and depreciation reports are calculation aids. You remain responsible for statutory filings and for confirming current rates and bands with URA or your accountant.

To the extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from the agreement is limited to the licence fees paid for the twelve months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profit or lost data where you have not maintained the backups the plan requires.

9. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate the licence for non-payment, unauthorised use, or a material breach that is not corrected within 14 days of written notice. On termination you must stop using the software and may export your data. Provisions that by nature survive termination — including payment, intellectual property and liability — continue to apply.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms for future licences. The terms in force when a licence is issued govern that licence period unless both parties agree otherwise in writing.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Uganda. The courts of Uganda have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer or data-protection rights that apply.
