Terms, Conditions & Privacy Policy

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Aiducately (“the Service”, “the Platform”, “we”, “us”, “our”), you (“you”, “the user”) agree to be legally bound by these Terms, Conditions and Privacy Policy (“Terms”). If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you must not access or use the Service in any way.

These Terms apply to all visitors, registered users, subscribers, and anyone else who accesses or interacts with the Service, regardless of how they access it (web browser, API, mobile device, etc.).

Your use of the Service constitutes your agreement to these Terms. Checking the agreement checkbox during registration is an additional acknowledgment but is not required for these Terms to be binding — use of the Service alone is sufficient.

2. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update, modify, or replace any part of these Terms at any time and at our sole discretion. The updated Terms will be posted at this URL with a revised “Last updated” date and, where material changes are made, a brief plain-language summary of what changed will appear at the top of this page. Changes take effect immediately upon posting unless a later effective date is stated.

For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify registered users by email or in-app notification at least 7 days in advance. However, we are not legally obligated to provide such advance notice, and your continued use of the Service after any change constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

If you do not agree to updated Terms, you must stop using the Service immediately.

3. Description of the Service

Aiducately is an AI-powered learning platform that allows users to generate structured learning paths, access AI-generated lesson content, interact with an AI tutor, complete quizzes and flashcards, track progress, and share learning paths with the community.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any feature within it) at any time, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

4. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

Aiducately uses large language models (LLMs) including Google Gemini to generate learning paths, lesson content, quiz questions, flashcards, and AI tutor responses. You acknowledge and agree that:

All AI-generated content is produced automatically and has generally not been reviewed or verified by a human expert before being displayed to you.
Content may contain errors, inaccuracies, hallucinations, biases, or outdated information.
Content must not be treated as professional, medical, legal, financial, psychological, or safety-critical advice of any kind.
You are solely responsible for verifying any information with authoritative or primary sources before acting on it.
We make no warranty, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or fitness for any purpose of AI-generated content.
The AI tutor is not a substitute for a qualified human teacher, therapist, doctor, lawyer, or any other licensed professional.

5. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the applicable minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction — e.g., 16 in the European Union under GDPR) to use the Service. By creating an account or using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.

If you are under the applicable age of majority in your jurisdiction, you represent that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

We reserve the right to request proof of age and to terminate accounts where this requirement is not met.

6. User Accounts

Notify us immediately if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account.
Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorized by you.
Not create more than one free account per person without our written consent. If we detect duplicate free accounts, we reserve the right to merge or permanently delete the extra accounts without notice, retain only the oldest account, and/or ban all associated accounts at our sole discretion.

We reserve the right to refuse registration, suspend, or permanently terminate any account at our sole discretion, including for violation of these Terms or behavior we deem harmful to the Service or other users.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

Violate any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation.
Upload, transmit, or distribute malware, viruses, or any other harmful code.
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service, its servers, or any connected systems.

Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit any part of the Service without authorization.
Use automated tools (bots, scripts, crawlers) to interact with the Service in ways that create excessive load.
Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.

Violation of this section may result in immediate suspension or permanent termination of your account and potential legal action.

8. User-Generated Content

The Service allows you to create and optionally publish learning paths, ratings, comments, and other content (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting User Content to the Service, you grant Aiducately a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to use, display, store, reproduce, and distribute that content within the Service and for the purpose of operating and improving the Service.

You represent and warrant that:

You own or have the necessary rights to the User Content you submit.
Your User Content does not infringe any third-party intellectual property, privacy, or other rights.
Your User Content does not violate these Terms or applicable law.

We reserve the right to remove any User Content at our discretion, without notice, for any reason including violation of these Terms.

9. Subscription and Billing

Aiducately offers a free tier with limited usage and paid Pro subscription plans. Free tier limits (such as path generation count and AI tutor messages per month) are subject to change at any time.

By subscribing to a paid plan you authorize Aiducately and our payment processor (Stripe) to charge your chosen payment method on a recurring basis at the frequency selected (monthly or annually) until you cancel. You are responsible for all charges incurred under your account.

Auto-renewal notice — annual plans: Annual subscriptions renew automatically each year. We will send you a reminder email to the address on your account at least 7 days before your annual renewal date. If you do not wish to renew, you must cancel before that renewal date via account settings.

We reserve the right to change subscription pricing at any time. For existing subscribers, price changes will take effect at the start of the next billing cycle following reasonable notice.

All prices shown are exclusive of taxes unless stated otherwise. You are responsible for any applicable taxes in your jurisdiction.

10. Cancellation and Refunds

You may cancel your subscription at any time through account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you will retain Pro access until then.

EU / UK consumers — statutory cooling-off period: If you are a consumer in the European Union or United Kingdom, you have a statutory right to withdraw from a digital subscription contract within 14 days of purchase without giving any reason, provided you have not already begun accessing the premium content. By proceeding past the checkout and immediately accessing Pro features, you expressly request early performance and acknowledge that your right of withdrawal is lost once access begins, in accordance with Directive 2011/83/EU Art. 16(m) and equivalent UK regulations. If you have not accessed Pro features within the 14-day window, contact us at contact@aiducately.com to exercise your right of withdrawal.

Outside of the statutory cooling-off period, all payments are non-refundable except where otherwise required by applicable consumer protection law. If you believe you are entitled to a refund under applicable law, contact us within 14 days of the charge.

We reserve the right to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion, which shall not create any obligation to do so in future cases.

11. Intellectual Property

The Aiducately platform — including its name, logo, design, interface, code, and any original non-AI-generated content — is owned by or licensed to Aiducately and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your personal, non-commercial learning purposes. This license does not include the right to:

Reproduce or distribute any part of the Service commercially.
Create derivative works based on the Service.
Remove or alter any proprietary notices or labels on the Service.

AI-generated output ownership: As between you and Aiducately, to the extent permitted by applicable law, you own the AI-generated outputs (learning paths, flashcards, quizzes, AI tutor responses) that are produced in direct response to your inputs. You may use them for personal, non-commercial learning purposes. You acknowledge that identical or similar outputs may be generated for other users, and that AI-generated content may not be protectable by copyright in all jurisdictions. We make no representations about the commercial usability or originality of AI outputs.

12. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with third-party services including but not limited to:

Supabase — authentication and database hosting.
Google Gemini — AI content generation.
Stripe — payment processing.

Your use of these third-party services is subject to their respective terms of service and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices, availability, or content of any third-party services.

13. Disclaimers and Warranties

The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Aiducately expressly disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to:

Implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
Warranties of non-infringement.
Warranties that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
Warranties regarding the accuracy or reliability of any content on the Service.

We do not warrant that defects will be corrected or that the Service is free of viruses or other harmful components.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Aiducately, its officers, directors, employees, agents, or licensors be liable for:

Any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages.
Loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses.
Damages resulting from reliance on AI-generated content.
Unauthorized access to or alteration of your data.
Any other matter relating to the Service.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Aiducately and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to:

Your use of the Service in violation of these Terms.
Your User Content.
Your violation of any rights of a third party.
Your violation of any applicable law.

16. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without cause, and with or without notice, at any time. Grounds include but are not limited to violation of these Terms, abusive behavior, or extended inactivity.

Upon termination your right to use the Service ceases immediately. We may delete your account and data in accordance with our data retention practices. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 4, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, and the Privacy Policy) shall survive.

You may delete your own account at any time through account settings. Deletion requests will be processed within a reasonable timeframe.

17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Before initiating any formal dispute, you agree to first contact us in good faith to attempt informal resolution. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally within 30 days, it shall be submitted to binding arbitration or resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction, as determined by applicable law.

To the extent permitted by law, you waive the right to participate in class-action lawsuits against Aiducately.

18. Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Aiducately collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use the Service. By using the Service, you consent to the practices described here.

18.1 Information We Collect

Account data: your name, email address, and hashed password provided during registration.
Usage data: learning paths you create or fork, goals you complete, quiz results, ratings, and comments.
AI interaction data: messages you send to the AI tutor and responses generated, stored to provide chat history and to operate the Service. We may also use aggregated, de-identified interaction data to evaluate and improve AI model outputs. You may opt out of having your individual interactions used for AI improvement by emailing contact@aiducately.com with the subject “AI Training Opt-Out”. Opting out does not affect the storage of chat history needed to provide the Service itself.
Billing data: payment method details are processed and stored by Stripe; we do not store full card numbers on our servers.
Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, and usage logs collected automatically.

18.2 How We Use Your Information

Create and maintain your account and authenticate you.
Provide, personalize, and improve the Service.
Generate AI content tailored to your learning context.
Process payments and manage subscriptions.
Send transactional emails (e.g., email confirmation, password reset).
Monitor for abuse, enforce these Terms, and maintain security.
Analyze aggregate, anonymized usage patterns to improve features.
Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use your data for targeted advertising.

18.3 How We Share Your Information

Service providers: Supabase (database/auth), Google (Gemini API), and Stripe (payments), who process data on our behalf under their own privacy and security commitments.
Public content: Learning paths and comments you choose to publish are visible to all users.
Legal requirements: We may disclose data if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of Aiducately or others.
Business transfer: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction.

18.4 Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. Some data may be retained for legitimate legal or operational purposes even after account deletion (e.g., billing records required by tax law).

18.5 Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (TLS/HTTPS), hashed passwords, and row-level security on our database. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and are not liable for unauthorized access resulting from circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

18.6 Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Access: request a copy of the data we hold about you.
Rectification: request correction of inaccurate static account data we hold (e.g., your name or email). This right applies to structured personal data stored in our database, not to the real-time outputs of AI language models. If an AI tutor response contains an error or false statement, it reflects a limitation of the underlying model; correcting live LLM outputs retroactively is technically infeasible. You may delete individual chat messages or your entire chat history through your account settings.
Erasure:request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”).
Portability: request your data in a machine-readable format.
Objection / restriction: object to or restrict certain processing.
Withdraw consent: where processing is based on consent, withdraw it at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us as described in Section 23. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and no later than required by applicable law (e.g., 30 days under GDPR).

19. Cookies and Local Storage

Authentication cookies: set by Supabase to keep you logged in across sessions. Strictly necessary; cannot be disabled without breaking authentication.
Preference storage: your UI theme preference (dark / light mode) is stored in localStorage so it persists across visits.
Analytics: we may use anonymized, aggregate analytics (without third-party tracking cookies) to understand how the Service is used.

By using the Service, you consent to our use of cookies and local storage as described above. You can clear them via your browser settings, but doing so may affect your experience.

20. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below this age. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child without appropriate consent, we will delete it promptly.

21. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

22. Entire Agreement

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Aiducately with respect to the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Aiducately.

23. Contact
