Terms of Use

Last updated: 15 July 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the Clevernest website and application (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Who runs Clevernest

Clevernest is a non-commercial passion project, built and run by one person in their own time and given away free. There is no company behind it, no investors and no advertising. The aim is simply to make good ACCA training available to anyone who wants it, at no cost.

The operator has chosen not to publish their name or a postal address, and asks that this preference for privacy is respected. Enquiries of any kind are welcome at clevernestapp@gmail.com, which is the contact point for these Terms and is monitored.

Being an individual rather than a company changes nothing about the agreement between us. These Terms are binding on you and on the operator of Clevernest, your rights under consumer and data protection law apply in full, and where the law requires the operator's identity to be disclosed, it will be disclosed on request through the email address above.

2. Who can use Clevernest

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. By using it you confirm you can form a binding agreement with us and that the information you give us is accurate.

3. Your account

You are responsible for your account and for keeping your sign-in details secure. You must not share your account or let anyone else use it. Please tell us promptly if you believe your account has been used without your permission. You are responsible for activity that happens under your account.

4. What Clevernest provides

Clevernest is a study aid for ACCA qualification exams. It provides lessons, worked examples, practice questions, progress tracking and study-planning tools. We may add, change or remove features over time.

The training is free, and the intention is that it stays free permanently: every course, every exercise, every workbook and your study plan. Some additional features, such as the question bank and the real-time tutor, may become paid in future. If that happens, the price and the cancellation terms will be published here before they take effect, nothing you use free today will be moved behind a payment, and you will never be charged without agreeing to it first. There is currently nothing to pay and no payment details are collected.

5. Not affiliated with ACCA; no guarantee of results

Clevernest is an independent study aid. We are not affiliated with, authorised by, or endorsed by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). "ACCA" and related names are trademarks of their respective owners and are used only to describe the exams our content helps you prepare for.

Our content is for educational purposes and does not guarantee any particular exam result. It is not a substitute for professional, financial, accounting or legal advice. You remain responsible for your own study and exam outcomes.

6. Acceptable use

When using the Service you agree not to:

• copy, resell, or redistribute our content, or use it other than for your own personal study;
• attempt to access, disrupt or interfere with the Service, its security, or other users' accounts;
• scrape, data-mine, reverse engineer, or attempt to extract our content or source in bulk;
• use the Service for anything unlawful, or in a way that infringes the rights of others.

7. Intellectual property

All content in the Service, including lessons, text, illustrations, audio, video, questions and software, is owned by Clevernest or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive licence to access and use the content for your own study while your account is in good standing. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

8. Availability

We work to keep the Service available and reliable, but we do not promise it will always be uninterrupted or error-free. We may suspend or withdraw all or part of the Service for maintenance, updates, or reasons outside our control.

9. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and we exclude implied warranties. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law (such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud), and nothing in them affects your rights under consumer law.

Subject to that, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of data, profits or study outcomes. Clevernest is provided free of charge by one individual as a personal project, and it is offered in good faith rather than as a commercial service with a support guarantee behind it. Please treat it as one study aid among several, keep your own record of anything that matters to you, and do not rely on it as your only preparation for an exam you have paid to sit.

10. Suspension and termination

You can stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you breach these Terms or use the Service in a way that could harm Clevernest or other users. You can delete your account and data as described in our Privacy Policy.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes we will update the date at the top and, where appropriate, let you know within the Service. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. This does not take away any right you have to bring a claim in the country where you live, or any protection your local consumer law gives you.

13. Contact

Questions about these Terms can be sent to clevernestapp@gmail.com. There is no postal address to write to, because Clevernest is one person rather than a business with premises. Email is the way to reach us, and it is read.
