Terms of Service.

These Terms of Service (these “Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Studious (“Studious,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of the Studious website, applications, and related services (collectively, the “Service”). By registering for an account, or by otherwise accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

The Service permits registered users to submit study sources, including hyperlinks to publicly available video lectures and articles, notes and other text, and uploaded audio or video recordings (collectively, “User Content”), from which the Service generates study materials such as study guides, flashcards, quizzes, and summaries (“Output”). Output is produced by artificial-intelligence models operated by third-party providers, as further described in Section 8. The Service also includes planning and scheduling features, including examination reminders, study blocks, and a conversational tutoring feature.

Studious is an independent service. Studious is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by YouTube, Google LLC, OpenAI, or any educational institution.

• (a)You must be at least thirteen (13) years of age to use the Service. If you have not reached the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence, you may use the Service only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian.
• (b)You agree to provide accurate and complete information when registering for an account and to keep such information current at all times.
• (c)You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorized by you. You agree to notify us promptly upon becoming aware of any unauthorized access to or use of your account.
• (d)Accounts are personal to the registrant and may not be shared with, sold to, or transferred to any other person.

• (a)Student plan. The Student plan is provided free of charge and is subject to monthly processing limits, which we may adjust from time to time upon reasonable notice.
• (b)Scholar subscription. The Scholar plan is offered on a monthly or annual subscription basis. Your subscription will renew automatically at the end of each billing period, and the then-current subscription fee will be charged to your designated payment method, unless you cancel prior to the end of the then-current period. Upon cancellation, you will retain access to paid features through the end of the period for which you have paid.
• (c)Last-Minute Pass. The Last-Minute Pass is a single, non-recurring purchase that provides access to Scholar features for a period of forty-eight (48) hours commencing at the time of purchase. The Last-Minute Pass does not renew and is non-refundable once the access period has commenced.
• (d)Payment processing. Payments are processed by a third-party payment processor. Studious does not collect or store full payment card numbers.
• (e)Price changes. We may change our fees upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice to affected subscribers. A price change will take effect no earlier than the start of your next billing period following such notice.
• (f)Refunds. Except as expressly provided in these Terms or as required by applicable law, all fees are non-refundable.

As between you and Studious, you retain all right, title, and interest in and to your User Content. You grant Studious a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, and process your User Content solely as necessary to provide, maintain, and secure the Service, including the transmission of User Content to the third-party model providers described in Section 8 for the purpose of generating Output at your request. This license terminates when you delete the applicable User Content or your account, except to the extent continued retention is required by applicable law or persists in routine backup systems pending deletion in the ordinary course. We do not sell User Content and do not use User Content for advertising purposes.

You represent and warrant that you own, or have obtained all rights, licenses, and consents necessary to submit, your User Content, and that the submission and processing of your User Content as contemplated by these Terms does not and will not infringe or misappropriate the intellectual-property, privacy, or other rights of any third party.

You shall not, and shall not permit or assist any third party to:

• (a)use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
• (b)submit any content that infringes or misappropriates the intellectual-property rights of any person, or that you otherwise lack the right to submit;
• (c)upload or transmit any virus or other malicious code, or probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service or any related system or network;
• (d)attempt to access the account, data, or content of any other user without authorization;
• (e)scrape, harvest, or bulk-download content from the Service, or access the Service by any automated means other than interfaces we make available;
• (f)resell, sublicense, or otherwise make the Service available to any third party, including on a service bureau or time-share basis;
• (g)circumvent or attempt to circumvent any usage limitation, including by registering multiple accounts; or
• (h)interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service.

The Service is a study aid. You are solely responsible for compliance with the academic-integrity policies, honor codes, and examination rules of any educational institution you attend, including any policy governing the use of artificial-intelligence tools. You shall not use the Service during any examination or assessment where such use is prohibited. Studious disclaims all responsibility for any disciplinary or academic consequence arising from your use of the Service in violation of institutional policy.

Output is generated by statistical language models operated by third-party providers and may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies, including with respect to dates, formulas, definitions, and other factual matter. Output is provided for general study purposes only, does not constitute professional, legal, medical, or other advice, and should not be relied upon without independent verification. Studious does not review Output prior to delivery and makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any purpose of any Output. As between you and Studious, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, Studious claims no ownership interest in Output; you are responsible for your use of Output.

The Service interoperates with services operated by third parties, including YouTube, Google Classroom, Google Calendar, and the artificial-intelligence model providers referenced in Section 8. Your use of any third-party service is governed by that third party’s own terms and privacy policy, and you are responsible for compliance therewith. Studious does not control, and assumes no responsibility for, the availability, content, or practices of any third-party service. The temporary or permanent unavailability of, or any change to, a third-party service shall not constitute a breach of these Terms by Studious.

The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, logos, and trademarks (but excluding User Content), is owned by Studious or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, no right, title, or interest in or to the Service is granted to you, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved. If you provide feedback or suggestions regarding the Service, you grant Studious a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use such feedback for any purpose without restriction or obligation to you.

You may discontinue use of the Service and request deletion of your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe that you have violated these Terms, that your conduct creates risk or possible legal exposure for Studious or any third party, or where required by applicable law. Upon any termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections 5, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, and 17 shall survive any termination or expiration of these Terms.

The Service and all Output are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including, without limitation, any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, or accuracy. Without limiting the foregoing, Studious does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that any Output will be accurate, complete, or reliable. Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the foregoing exclusions may not apply to you.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law: (a) in no event shall Studious be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, loss of profits, loss of goodwill, or academic or examination outcome, arising out of or in connection with the Service or these Terms, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, and whether or not Studious has been advised of the possibility of such damages; and (b) the aggregate liability of Studious for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms shall not exceed the greater of (i) the amounts paid by you to Studious during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim and (ii) ten United States dollars (US$10).

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Studious and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (a) your User Content; (b) your violation of these Terms; or (c) your violation of any applicable law or of the rights of any third party.

We may modify these Terms at any time and from time to time. If a modification is material, we will provide reasonable advance notice, such as by notice within the Service or by email to the address associated with your account, before the modification takes effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of a modification constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms. We may also modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, at any time; if we permanently discontinue a paid feature for which you have paid and which you have not received, we will issue a pro-rated refund of the applicable prepaid fees.

These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the operator of Studious is domiciled, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute informally by written notice to the other party. Any dispute not resolved within thirty (30) days of such notice shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that jurisdiction, and each party consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

• (a)Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Studious with respect to the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, and representations, whether written or oral, with respect to the Service.
• (b)Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
• (c)No waiver. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under these Terms shall operate as a waiver of that right or any other right.
• (d)Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.
• (e)Notices. Notices to Studious under these Terms shall be sent by email to shewale.advait@gmail.com. We may provide notices to you within the Service or by email to the address associated with your account.
• (f)Headings. Section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of these Terms.
