By using the KAP website or our online services, you agree to use them responsibly and in accordance with these terms.


Some KAP programmes may have their own additional participation terms or guidance. Where that is the case, those additional terms also apply to that programme.

  • the Kids Against Plastic Dev Team Calendar.

We may add, change or remove services over time.


Using our website and services

You must not use KAP services in a way that:

  • is unlawful;
  • is harmful, abusive, threatening or discriminatory;
  • attempts to gain unauthorised access to another person’s account or information;
  • interferes with the security or operation of the website;
  • uploads malicious software or harmful content;
  • deliberately provides false or misleading information;
  • infringes another person’s rights; or
  • places children, young people or other users at risk.

We may restrict or remove access where we reasonably believe this is necessary to protect KAP, our members, our systems or other users.


Accounts and login information

Some KAP services require an account.


You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and should not share passwords or access codes with other people.

If you think somebody else has gained access to your account, please contact us.


KAP may suspend or close an account where necessary for security, safeguarding, misuse or administration of the service.


Children and young people

Many KAP services are designed for children and young people.


We aim to make our services safe, appropriate and easy to understand.


Some activities may require additional permission from a parent, carer, school or other responsible adult. Where this is necessary, we will explain this as part of the relevant activity or service.


Young people should not share unnecessary personal information about themselves or other people through KAP services.


Content submitted to KAP

Some KAP services allow members, schools or other participants to submit:

  • environmental actions;
  • photographs;
  • videos;
  • comments;
  • ideas;
  • links;
  • files;
  • questions; or
  • other evidence or creative work.

You should only submit content that you have the right to share.


You should not submit identifiable information about another person unless you have appropriate permission to do so.


Submitting content to KAP does not automatically mean it will be published.


KAP may review, moderate, edit for presentation, decline or remove submitted content where necessary.


Where we want to feature a contribution publicly, we will use appropriate moderation and permission processes.


Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, the content created by Kids Against Plastic on this website belongs to KAP or is used with permission.


This includes KAP branding, written resources, activities, graphics, learning materials and original digital content.


You may use KAP resources for their intended educational or charitable purpose unless a resource says otherwise.


You must not sell, commercially reproduce or present KAP content as your own without permission.


Content belonging to other organisations remains subject to their own copyright and licence terms.


External websites and services

KAP may link to or embed services provided by other organisations.


These may include services such as Google, YouTube, Zoom, learning tools, maps, games and other websites.


We are not responsible for the content, availability or terms of external services.


When you use an external service, its own terms and privacy policies may also apply.


Google Calendar and the Dev Team Calendar

The Kids Against Plastic Dev Team Calendar connects with Google Calendar for authorised KAP users.


The integration may allow relevant KAP calendar information and events to be viewed, created or updated.


Use of Google services is also subject to Google’s own terms and policies.


Information accessed through Google is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.


Privacy

Our use of personal information is explained in our Privacy Policy.


Please read the Privacy Policy alongside these Terms of Use.


Availability of our services

We aim to keep KAP services available and working properly, but we cannot guarantee that every service will always be available or free from errors.


We may temporarily suspend or change a service for maintenance, security, technical reasons or improvements.


Where practical, we will try to minimise disruption.


Accuracy of information

We try to keep information on the KAP website accurate and useful.


Environmental information, external links, programme information and third-party resources may change over time.


KAP cannot guarantee that every piece of information will always be complete or current.


Educational content on the website is provided for general information and learning and should not be treated as professional, legal, medical or financial advice.


Responsibility

KAP takes reasonable care in providing its website and online services.


However, we are not responsible for losses caused by events outside our reasonable control, problems with third-party services, internet failures or misuse of the website.


Nothing in these terms limits any responsibility that cannot legally be excluded.


Safeguarding

The safety and wellbeing of children and young people is important to KAP.


We may take action, restrict access or share relevant information where we reasonably believe this is necessary to address a safeguarding concern or meet a legal or safeguarding responsibility.


Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms of Use when our services, technology or legal responsibilities change.


The latest version will be published on the KAP website with the date it was last updated.
