Terms of Service

Welcome to Voda.

Voda Technologies Limited (“Voda”) provides our website located at www.voda.co (the “Site”) and our learning videos accessible via our mobile device application (“App”). To make these Terms easier to read, the Site, our services and App are collectively called the “Services.” Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) carefully because they govern your use of our Services.

Agreement to Terms 

By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by these Terms, please do not use the Services.   

Privacy Policy 

You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy. Furthermore, when we process your personal data that may be a special category of personal data as defined in Article 9 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation — such as data concerning health — you provide your explicit consent for that processing. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information on how we collect, use and disclose information from our users.

Changes to Terms or Services 

We may modify the Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If we do so, we’ll let you know either by posting the modified Terms on the Site or through other communications. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we modify them because if you continue to use the Services after we have posted modified Terms on the Site, you are indicating to us that you agree to be bound by the modified Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the modified Terms, then you may not use the Services anymore. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.
