Yes.
Reasonable backup copies may be made for your own authorised use.

Licence Renewals

Why does My Life Rulz use an annual Licence?
Our annual Licence helps us continue improving and expanding My Life Rulz Resources while providing ongoing updates, revised content and support. It also ensures schools and organisations have access to the most current versions of our educational materials.

What does my annual Licence include?
An active Licence allows you to:
• continue using your Resources;
• receive updates, corrections and improvements;
• receive revised editions where applicable;
• access additional content released during your active Licence Term; and
• receive new Resources released for your Licence category, where applicable.

Do I have to renew every year?
Yes.
Your Licence is valid for twelve (12) months from the date of purchase.
To continue using the Resources after your Licence expires, you must renew your Licence before the renewal date.

When is my Licence renewal date?
Your annual Licence is due for renewal 12 months from your original purchase date. We may send a courtesy reminder before your renewal date. However, it remains the Licence Holder’s responsibility to renew their Licence on time. Failure to receive a reminder does not extend your Licence.

Will renewal prices stay the same?
The annual renewal fee is currently 25% of the original purchase price for the applicable Licence. We may change our renewal pricing in the future. If we do, the renewal fee will come into effect at the time of the renewal.

Can I renew after my Licence has expired?
Yes.
You may renew your Licence after it has expired.
Current renewal pricing will apply, and access to your Resources will be restored once your renewal has been processed.

Can I keep printed copies after my Licence expires?
No. Once your Licence expires, you must stop using My Life Rulz Resources. Printed and digital copies must no longer be used or distributed, except where retention is required by law. Renewing your Licence allows you to continue using your Resources in accordance with your Licence Agreement.

Contact Details

What if our school’s contact details change?
Please let us know as soon as possible if your contact person or email address changes so we can send renewal reminders and important Licence information.
