Who we are
ESL Pathway (eslpathway.com) is run by Mehmet Akif Derebent, a sole trader in Türkiye, Selçuklu Mah. 41. Sk. No:10, Onikişubat / Kahramanmaraş. Email: info@eslpathway.com. Full details are on the Contact & legal notice page.
Who can use ESL Pathway
- ESL Pathway is for teachers and tutors. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account.
- An account is for one teacher. Keep your password to yourself and don't share your account; tell us straight away if you think someone else has used it.
- Students don't need an account; they only use the class links their teacher shares with them.
Using our material
You may use our lessons, worksheets, decks, songs, games and tools with your own classes and students: on the board, on paper or in online lessons. You may not resell, republish or share our material outside your teaching, for example by uploading worksheets to another website. All rights in our material stay with us or our licensors.
Students and class links
When you share a class link, your students may type a nickname or initials and see their score; you see their results on My desk. Ask students not to type their full names or any other personal information.
You use class links under your own responsibility. You are responsible for getting any permission your school, or your students' parents or guardians, requires before you use them. Links expire after 30 days, and links and results are deleted automatically about 30 days later; you can delete them sooner. See our Privacy policy.
Your content
Lesson plans, worksheet drafts, word lists, pictures you upload and other things you create stay yours. So that we can run the service, you give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, copy, format and display that content for you and, when you share a link to it (for example, a shared lesson plan at /p/…), to anyone who has the link. The license ends when you delete the content or your account, apart from copies kept for a short time in backups or where the law requires us to keep them.
Shared lesson plans can be seen by anyone with the link. They are not listed in search engines, but anyone you give the link to can pass it on, so don't put personal information in them.
You must have the right to everything you upload or share, and it must not be unlawful, infringing, offensive, or contain other people's personal information without permission. We may remove or disable content that breaks these terms or the law, or that someone reports to us, and we'll tell you when we reasonably can.
Acceptable use
- Don't copy our material in bulk, scrape the site, or use automated tools to download or collect it.
- Don't try to get around the free-open limit, Premium access or any security measure, or interfere with the site or other users.
- Don't use ESL Pathway to harass anyone, collect personal data about students or others, or for anything unlawful.
- Don't upload viruses or harmful code, or impersonate anyone.
Copyright complaints
If you believe something on ESL Pathway (for example, a shared lesson plan) infringes your copyright or other rights, use “Report this plan” or write to info@eslpathway.com with:
- your name and contact details;
- the work you say is infringed, and your rights in it (or that you act for the rights holder);
- the link to the material on ESL Pathway;
- a statement that you believe in good faith that its use is not authorized, and that the information in your notice is accurate.
We act promptly: we review the notice, remove or disable access to the material where appropriate, and tell the person who shared it, who may reply. We close the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe others' rights.
Inviting a colleague
- Each account has an invite link (My desk › Invite a teacher). When a teacher makes a new account from it, confirms their e-mail and uses the site on three different days, you both get a month of free Premium. You can earn up to six months this way.
- If you already pay for Premium, the months you earn are kept and start when your subscription ends. Earned months have no cash value.
- Inviting yourself, made-up or shared accounts doesn't count; we may withdraw months earned that way. We may change or end the program, keeping months already earned.
School licenses
- A school or course can buy Premium for a number of its teachers (For schools). Teachers join with the school's link and have Premium while the license runs; each teacher's own account, and what they save and make, stays theirs.
- A free pilot runs for the days we agree and ends by itself. A paid license runs for 12 months from the day the school pays and is renewed only when the school pays again. The school's coordinators can remove teachers and make a new link; the school must not share its link outside its own teachers.
- If a school or teacher misuses a license (for example, by sharing the link publicly), we may end it after telling the school.
Payments
Orders are processed by Lemon Squeezy, our online reseller and merchant of record, who also handles invoices, taxes and refunds. Their buyer terms apply to the payment. Subscriptions bought in Turkish lira before 24 October 2026 keep the contract they were bought under until they end.
Availability and changes
We work hard to keep ESL Pathway online and correct, but it is provided “as is”, and there may be interruptions for maintenance or reasons outside our control. We may add, change or retire content and features. If we change these terms in a way that matters, we'll tell account holders by email first.
Ending your account
You can delete your account at any time from My desk (cancel any active subscription first). We may suspend or close accounts that seriously or repeatedly break these terms; where we reasonably can, we'll warn you first. If we close a paid account without good reason, we refund the unused part of your subscription.
Liability
As far as the law allows, our liability is limited to what you paid us in the last 12 months. Nothing here limits liability for intent or gross negligence, or any right you have as a consumer that can't be limited by contract.
Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Türkiye. If you are a consumer, this does not take away the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim where the law allows it. Consumers in Türkiye can apply to the Consumer Arbitration Committee (Tüketici Hakem Heyeti) or the Consumer Court (Tüketici Mahkemesi), depending on the amount. For other disputes, the courts of Türkiye have jurisdiction.
