Terms of Service

Effective date: September 3, 2026

Welcome to විදු අරණ (Vidu Arana). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the mobile application and related services operated by VIDU ARANA (PVT) LTD. By creating an account, downloading, installing, or using the app, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

1. Who we are

විදු අරණ helps students in Sri Lanka discover and join classes, and helps teachers manage classes, students, notices, schedules, and learning materials.

These Terms apply to both student and teacher accounts. Some features (such as Premium subscriptions) apply only to teachers.

Operator identity

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must provide accurate registration information and keep your login credentials secure. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account.

Vidu Arana is an education platform for students and teachers. It is not primarily directed at children under 13. If you are under 13, you may use the app only with appropriate parental or guardian guidance. If you are under the age of majority in your place of residence, a parent or guardian should review these Terms with you.

You may register as a student or a teacher. Misrepresenting your role or creating accounts to abuse the platform is not allowed.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that put other users at risk.

You may delete your account at any time in Settings → Delete account. Deletion is permanent and removes personal account data as described in our Privacy Policy.

3. License to use the app

Subject to these Terms, VIDU ARANA (PVT) LTD grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use Vidu Arana for your personal or internal educational purposes.

On Apple-branded products, this license is limited to use on Apple-branded products that you own or control, and as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. The app may also be accessed and used by other accounts associated with the purchaser via Family Sharing or volume purchasing, where Apple permits that.

On Android devices obtained through Google Play, this license is limited to use on devices you own or control in accordance with the Google Play Terms of Service and any applicable usage rules.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse engineer, or create derivative works of the app except to the extent applicable law expressly allows it.

4. Student use

Students may explore classes, request to join, view materials shared by teachers for classes they have joined, and interact with features provided for learners.

Students should use the app respectfully and only for legitimate learning purposes.

5. Teacher use and Premium subscriptions

Teachers may create and manage classes, students, join requests, notices, schedules, and learning materials subject to their subscription status and plan limits.

Teachers are responsible for the accuracy of class information they publish and for content they share with students. Teachers must have the rights needed to upload and share that content.

Premium plans unlock additional teaching features as described in the app. Fees, billing periods, and plan options (for example monthly or yearly) are shown at purchase. Teachers may also receive a free trial as described in the app.

Teacher Premium payments are processed through PayHere, our third-party payment provider in Sri Lanka. Premium is billed outside Apple In-App Purchase and outside Google Play Billing. Card and payment-instrument details are handled by PayHere; we do not store full card numbers.

Renewal and duration follow what is shown at checkout and in the subscription screens. Unless the product is configured as an automatic recurring charge by the payment provider, a new paid period starts when you successfully complete a new checkout for that period.

You can manage or stop further Premium purchases from the subscription screens in the app and by contacting us if you need help. Ending Premium does not delete your teacher account unless you also delete the account.

Fees are charged as shown at checkout. Refunds are handled as required by applicable law and, where relevant, by PayHere’s processes. If you believe a charge was made in error, contact us promptly at the email below with your order details so we can review it.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the service, including by attempting to disrupt the app, scrape data without permission, harass other users, upload unlawful or harmful content, or circumvent security or payment controls.

We may remove content or restrict access when we reasonably believe these rules have been broken.

To report abuse, harmful content, or other problems, use Report a problem in Settings, or email us.

7. Content and intellectual property

You retain rights to content you submit. By submitting content, you grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, display, transmit, and process it as needed to operate, improve, and secure the service.

The විදු අරණ / Vidu Arana name, branding, and app software are owned by VIDU ARANA (PVT) LTD or our licensors and may not be copied or reused without permission.

8. Third-party services

The app relies on third-party services to operate, including Google (Firebase infrastructure, Google Sign-In, and Maps), Expo (push notification delivery), and PayHere (teacher Premium payments).

When you use features that depend on those services, you must also comply with the applicable third-party terms of those providers (for example wireless data terms, Google terms, or PayHere terms).

9. Disclaimers and warranty

The app is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties of uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not guarantee that class information provided by teachers is complete or accurate. We are not a party to arrangements between teachers and students outside the app (for example, fee collection or in-person class delivery), except as expressly stated in product features.

VIDU ARANA (PVT) LTD is solely responsible for any product warranties for the Licensed Application that are not effectively disclaimed. If the Licensed Application fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price of the Licensed Application (if any) to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the Licensed Application, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are our sole responsibility. This Apple refund language applies to the App Store purchase price of the app itself, not to PayHere Premium subscription fees.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in Sri Lanka, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, or goodwill arising from your use of the app.

Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amounts you paid us (if any) in the three months before the claim arose.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability beyond what is permitted by applicable law, including any non-waivable consumer rights.

11. Maintenance and support

VIDU ARANA (PVT) LTD is solely responsible for providing maintenance and support for Vidu Arana, as described in these Terms or as required by applicable law. You may contact us at viduaranaofficial@gmail.com or through Report a problem in Settings.

Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the Licensed Application. Google Play likewise has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app beyond its role as a distribution platform.

12. Product claims and intellectual property claims

You and we acknowledge that VIDU ARANA (PVT) LTD, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Licensed Application or your possession and/or use of the Licensed Application, including but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the Licensed Application fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.

In the event of any third-party claim that the Licensed Application or your possession and use of the Licensed Application infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, VIDU ARANA (PVT) LTD, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of that claim.

13. Apple and Google Play acknowledgements

If you obtained the app from the Apple App Store, you and we acknowledge that these Terms are concluded between you and us only, and not with Apple Inc. or its subsidiaries (“Apple”). We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the Licensed Application and its content. These Terms do not provide usage rules that conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

You and we acknowledge and agree that Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

If you obtained the app from Google Play, you acknowledge that Google LLC and its affiliates are distribution platform providers and are not parties to these Terms, except to the extent required by Google's own terms.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Sri Lanka, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory consumer protection laws in your place of residence apply and cannot be waived.

15. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the app after changes become effective means you accept the updated Terms. Material changes will be reflected by updating the Effective date in this document.
