Terms of Service

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, govern your access to and use of the Study Slay website, web app and related services (the "Service").

You must be at least 13 years old to use Study Slay, or older where the law of your country sets a higher minimum age for agreeing to online services on your own (16 in parts of the European Union). If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms for you. If you use the Service on behalf of a school, company or other organisation, you confirm that you have authority to bind it and that "you" includes that organisation.

If you do not agree with these Terms, do not use the Service.

Study Slay turns material you provide (documents, slides, text, web links, YouTube links, audio files and lecture recordings) into study notes, flashcards, quizzes, translations and a chat assistant called Leo that answers questions about your notes. The output is generated automatically by artificial intelligence models.

We improve the Service continuously and may add, change or remove features, adjust plan limits and change the models we use. Where a change would substantially reduce a paid feature during a period you have already paid for, we will tell you in advance and, if you ask, refund the unused part of that period.

• One account is for one person. Do not share your account or sign-in method, and do not use someone else's account.
• Give us accurate information and keep it current. Sign-in happens through Google, Apple or a link we e-mail to you, so protect access to those accounts and to your inbox.
• You are responsible for everything that happens under your account. Tell us at once if you believe it has been used without your permission.
• We may refuse, suspend or close accounts that break these Terms, are used fraudulently or put the Service or other users at risk.

Study Slay offers a Free plan with limited usage and a paid Pro subscription billed monthly or yearly. The current prices, limits and what each plan includes are shown on the pricing page and in the app and form part of these Terms.

• Free trial. The yearly plan may include a free trial of a stated length. A payment method is required to start it, one trial is allowed per person, and the trial converts to a paid subscription at the end unless you cancel before it ends. We send a reminder before the trial converts.
• Automatic renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period, monthly or yearly, at the then-current price, until you cancel.
• Cancellation. You can cancel at any time in Settings (Manage subscription, which opens the Stripe customer portal). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep Pro until then and are not charged again.
• Payments. Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. You authorise Stripe to charge your payment method for the plan you choose and for renewals.
• Failed payments. If a renewal payment fails we will retry it and notify you. If it keeps failing, your account returns to the Free plan and your content stays available within Free plan limits.
• Taxes. Prices exclude VAT, sales tax and similar taxes unless stated otherwise; where we are required to collect them they are added at checkout.
• Price changes. We may change prices. A change applies to a running subscription only at its next renewal and only after we have given you at least 30 days' notice by e-mail; if you do not want the new price, cancel before the renewal.
• Fair use. Pro features described as unlimited are unlimited for ordinary personal study. We may apply reasonable rate limits or contact you if usage is far beyond that or looks automated.

Payments are non-refundable except where these Terms or the law say otherwise. If you were charged by mistake, charged twice, or could not use the Service because of a fault on our side, write to student@studyslay.com within 30 days of the charge and we will review it and refund where that is fair.

If you are a consumer in the European Union, the United Kingdom or another place with a statutory right of withdrawal, you may withdraw from a new subscription within 14 days of starting it without giving a reason. By asking us to start the Service immediately you agree that, if you withdraw, we may keep a proportionate amount for the days already used; if you used a free trial and withdraw before the first charge, nothing is owed.

You keep all rights to the material you upload and to the output generated from it (together, "your content"). You grant Study Slay a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide licence to store, copy, process, transmit and display your content only as needed to provide the Service to you: for example to transcribe a recording, send text to our AI provider to produce notes, show a note on a share link you created, or back up our systems. The licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for backup copies that expire on their normal schedule.

You are responsible for your content. You confirm that you have the right to upload it and to have it processed as described, that it does not infringe anyone's copyright, privacy or other rights, and that uploading it does not break the rules of your school, university or employer (for example rules on recording lectures or sharing course material). When you record a lecture, obtain any permission the law or your institution requires.

We do not claim ownership of your content and we do not use it to train AI models. We look at individual content only when needed to provide support you asked for, to investigate a reported violation, or when the law requires it.

Copyright complaints. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to student@studyslay.com with your contact details, a description of the work, the location of the material (for example a share link), a statement made in good faith that the use is not authorised, and a statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner. We remove or disable infringing material and may close the accounts of repeat infringers.

Notes, flashcards, quizzes, translations and chat answers are produced automatically. They can be incomplete, inaccurate, out of date or wrong, and they can misread your material. They are study aids, not a substitute for your course material, your teachers or your own judgement. Check anything that matters against the source, especially formulas, numbers, dates, names and legal, medical or financial statements.

The output is not professional advice of any kind. Similar output may be generated for other users from similar material; to the extent the law allows, we assign to you whatever rights we have in the output generated from your content.

Use Study Slay to learn. You agree not to use it to cheat, to produce work you submit as your own where that is not allowed, or in any other way that violates the academic integrity rules that apply to you. You are solely responsible for complying with those rules.

You agree not to, and not to help anyone else to:

• upload or share content that is illegal, infringing, defamatory, hateful, sexually explicit involving minors, or that violates someone's privacy;
• upload malware or anything designed to interfere with the Service, or try to gain access to accounts, systems or data you are not authorised to access;
• use bots, scrapers or automated scripts to access the Service, to generate material at volume, or to circumvent plan limits, trials or billing;
• reverse engineer, copy, resell, sublicense or build a competing product from the Service, its design or its illustrations;
• attempt to extract our prompts, system instructions or model configuration, or use the Service to attack or misuse our AI providers;
• send unsolicited messages through share links, misrepresent who you are, or impersonate Study Slay;
• use the Service in a way that harms other users or the reliability and security of the Service.

We may remove content, limit usage, or suspend or close an account that violates this section, and we may report illegal activity to the authorities.

The Service, including its software, design, text, illustrations, the Leo character, the Study Slay name and logo, belongs to Study Slay and its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. These Terms give you a personal, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Service as intended. Nothing else is granted.

If you send us ideas, suggestions or feedback, you agree that we may use them without any obligation to you.

Signing in with Google or Apple, paying through Stripe, and adding YouTube videos or web pages as sources involve services we do not control. Their terms and privacy policies apply to your use of them. We are not responsible for third-party content, including the videos and pages you add, and a third party may stop us from accessing its content at any time.

We aim to keep the Service available at all times but do not promise uninterrupted or error-free operation. Maintenance, updates, our providers and events outside our control can cause interruptions, and generation of notes can take longer than usual or fail for a particular file. Features marked as beta or experimental may change or be withdrawn without notice.

Support is provided by e-mail at student@studyslay.com. We usually answer within a few business days.

You may stop using the Service at any time and may delete your account in Settings. Deletion permanently removes your content and cancels any subscription; amounts already paid are not refunded except as set out in section 5.

We may suspend or terminate your access, with notice where practical, if you materially breach these Terms, if we are required to by law, or if we discontinue the Service. If we discontinue the Service or close your account without a breach on your part, we will refund the unused part of any prepaid period.

Sections that by their nature should continue after termination (including your content licence for backups, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity and governing law) survive.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the output will be correct, that the Service will meet your requirements, or that using it will lead to any particular grade or result.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits the rights you have as a consumer under mandatory law.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Study Slay and its officers, employees and providers are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, loss of goodwill or the cost of substitute services, arising out of or related to the Service or these Terms, however caused and under any theory of liability, even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims relating to the Service in any 12-month period is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in those 12 months and 50 US dollars.

These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for wilful misconduct, and they do not affect mandatory consumer rights.

If you are not a consumer, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Study Slay from claims, damages and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising from your content, your use of the Service in breach of these Terms, or your violation of the law or of someone else's rights.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the country in which Study Slay is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes that cannot be resolved informally are brought before the courts of that country. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live and may bring a claim before the courts there.

Before starting any formal proceeding, please contact us at student@studyslay.com and give us 30 days to try to resolve the matter with you; most problems are solved this way. Where it applies, you may also use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform.

• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and Study Slay about the Service and replace any earlier agreements.
• Severability. If a provision is found unenforceable, it is limited to the minimum extent necessary and the rest of the Terms stays in force.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce a provision, that is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• Assignment. You may not transfer these Terms or your account. We may assign them to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, and will inform you.
• Force majeure. Neither of us is liable for a failure caused by events beyond reasonable control, such as outages at our providers, natural disasters, war or acts of government, except for payment obligations.
• Notices. We send notices to the e-mail address on your account; keep it current. You send notices to the address in section 19.
• Language. These Terms are written in English. Translations are for convenience; the English version prevails.

We may update these Terms as the Service or the law changes. The effective date at the top shows the current version. For material changes we will give you at least 14 days' notice by e-mail or in the app before they take effect, unless the change is required by law or concerns a new feature. If you do not agree with a change, stop using the Service and cancel your subscription before the change takes effect; continued use after that date means you accept the updated Terms.
