Article 1: Use of the Service

1.1          On Revisely, a teacher can create and set writing assignments to students. The student can hand in the document for the assignment.

1.4          You need to protect access to your account(s) from unauthorised persons by means of the username and password. In particular, you must keep the password strictly confidential. Revisely B.V. may assume that everything that happens from your account(s) after login with your username and password, happens under your direction and supervision.
