If a Profile is missing for a certain School, a Registered User may suggest a Profile to be created by following the instructions in School Parrot in this regard.
    3. You undertake to act in good faith when making a review of a School. This means for example that you will only make reviews which reflects your true opinion.

The Information is either information provided by a Registered User who has claimed a School’s Profile (in accordance with section 6), or information found in public registers and databases provided by public au- thorities. We always have the right to change, delete or update Information of Schools, including Claimed Schools. However, regarding Claimed Schools, we try not to do so without communicating with the relevant Registered User on beforehand.
  5. ACCOUNT

    1. For a User to be able to use all of the functions in School Parrot, the User must create an Account.

The User shall create the Account in accordance with the in- structions on the Website and thereby provide us with the information required.

For the claim to be accepted, the Registered User must connect an e-mail address to his/her Account which is connected to the relevant School (i.e. a work e-mail address) and provide us with his/her contact details and work title. We reserve the right to decide whether a claim of a School shall be accepted or not, and we do not have to motivate such decision.

Also in this case, we have the right of accept or decline requests in accordance with above.
