Services included

When the User acquires a licence from LB, they contract the right to access a series of digital multimedia content (including interactive tools) for a limited period of time, which coincides with the current school year.

Depending on the type of licence purchased, the right to access the content is limited to:

• Student-type licences: only grant the right to access the LB content that a teacher who is linked to that licence assigns to them from time to time according to their educational criteria and their educational programming. Therefore, a student licence does not provide access to the default content and is only functional if it is linked to the licence of a teacher from a school registered with LB. This particularity is explicitly stated in any purchase process for these licences.
• Teacher-type licences: give access to a set of content determined by the official curriculum of the educational levels in which the teacher teaches his or her classes in his or her country.
