Terms of Use

These terms govern the use of BYTU, a management platform for wind sports schools, provided by GM Softwares, CNPJ (Brazilian company ID) 32.954.793/0001-74, with its office at Avenida Prefeito Osmar Cunha, 416, sala 1108, Centro, Florianópolis/SC, CEP 88015-100, Brazil. By creating an account or using BYTU, you accept these terms and the Privacy Policy.

1. The service

BYTU is online software for a school to organize students, packages, the lesson schedule, instructors, equipment, WhatsApp messages and finance. The features of each plan are on the pricing page. We may improve, change or remove features. If we remove an important feature from your plan, we will tell you first.

2. Account and access

• Whoever creates the account declares that they can represent the school and that the data they enter is true.
• Each person uses their own login. Do not share your password.
• The school is responsible for what its managers and instructors do in its account.
• If you notice unauthorized access, tell us at contato@bytu.com.br.

3. Free trial

Every new school gets 30 free days to use BYTU, with no credit card. At the end of the trial, nothing is charged automatically. To continue, the school picks a plan and subscribes.

4. Plans, payment and price changes

• Plans are monthly or yearly, paid in advance.
• Billing is handled by Asaas, in Brazilian reais (BRL), with the payment methods offered at checkout.
• The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period until it is cancelled.
• If a payment is late, we may suspend access until it is settled. The school's data is kept during the suspension.
• We may change prices. We will tell you at least 30 days in advance, and the new price applies from the next renewal.

5. Cancellation

• There is no lock-in. The school can cancel at any time, on WhatsApp or at contato@bytu.com.br.
• After cancelling, the school can use BYTU until the end of the period already paid. There is no pro-rata refund for the current period.
• When the contract is subject to the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code, the school may withdraw within 7 days of the first charge, with a full refund.
• After cancellation, the school can ask for a copy of its data. We delete the data within 90 days, as described in the Privacy Policy.

6. Acceptable use

When using BYTU, the school must not:

• register third-party data without a legal basis to do so;
• send unsolicited bulk messages (spam) through WhatsApp;
• try to access other schools' data or get around security;
• copy, resell or reverse engineer the system;
• use BYTU for any illegal activity.

If these rules are broken, we may suspend or close the account, with prior notice whenever possible.

7. Student data

The school is the controller of the data it registers about students and instructors. It is responsible for having a legal basis for this use (for example, the lesson contract) and for informing its students. BYTU processes this data as a processor, only to provide the service, as described in the Privacy Policy.

8. WhatsApp

The integration uses the school's own WhatsApp number. The school must follow WhatsApp's usage rules. BYTU does not control WhatsApp and is not liable for the number being blocked, changes to Meta's rules or failures in message delivery.

9. Wind forecast and safety at sea

The wind forecast shown in BYTU comes from external sources and is for reference only. It may be wrong. The decision to hold or cancel a lesson, and the safety of students and instructors, are always the responsibility of the school and the instructor on site.

10. Digital commitment agreement

BYTU records the acceptance of the agreement with date, time and IP address. The school must check that the text of the agreement fits its operation and is responsible for how it uses it with students.

11. Availability and support

We work to keep BYTU online all the time, but there may be downtime for maintenance or because of supplier failures. Support is provided on WhatsApp and by email, on business days.

12. Limitation of liability

BYTU is not liable for lost profits or indirect damages. Except where the law does not allow a limit, our total liability is limited to the amount the school paid in the 12 months before the event.

13. Intellectual property

The software, the BYTU brand and the site content belong to GM Softwares. The school receives the right to use BYTU while its subscription is active. The data it registers remains the school's.

14. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. When a change is relevant, we will tell you at least 30 days in advance, by email or in the app. If the school keeps using BYTU after that, it accepts the new version.

15. Law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by Brazilian law. The courts of Florianópolis/SC, Brazil, have jurisdiction, except when the law grants consumers the courts of their own domicile. Questions: contato@bytu.com.br.
