StudyBridge AI is an educational technology tool. It is NOT a legal service, medical provider, licensed therapy practice, or professional advocacy organization. Nothing in this application constitutes legal advice, medical advice, or professional consultation of any kind.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using StudyBridge AI ("the Service", "we", "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. These terms apply to all users, including students, parents, educators, and school administrators.

2. Description of Service

StudyBridge AI provides an educational platform including AI-powered tutoring, homework tracking, note-taking, flashcards, quiz generation, study guides, and disability education resources ("Ability Hub"). The Service is intended for personal educational use.

3. Eligibility

The Service is available to users of all ages. Users under 13 must have verifiable parental consent in accordance with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act). By creating an account, parents or guardians of users under 13 confirm they have provided this consent. Schools using the Service on behalf of students represent that they have obtained appropriate parental consent where required.

4. User Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
You agree to provide accurate information when creating an account.
You may not share accounts or create multiple accounts to circumvent plan limits.
You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

5. Subscriptions and Billing

Paid plans are billed monthly through Stripe, our payment processor. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled. You may cancel at any time through the billing portal — cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. We do not offer refunds for partial months. Free plan limits (AI calls per month) reset on the first of each calendar month. We reserve the right to change pricing with 30 days notice.

6. AI Content and Limitations

The Service uses artificial intelligence to generate educational content. You acknowledge and agree that:

AI responses may contain errors, inaccuracies, or outdated information.
AI-generated content is for educational purposes only and should not replace professional advice.
The AI Rights Guide in Ability Hub provides general educational information — not legal advice.
You should verify important information with qualified professionals before acting on it.
We are not responsible for decisions made based on AI-generated content.

7. Ability Hub Disclaimer

The Ability Hub provides educational information about disability rights, special education law (IDEA, Section 504, ADA), and assistive technology. This information is provided for general educational purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is created. For legal questions regarding your child's education rights, consult a licensed special education attorney or contact your state's Parent Training and Information Center (PTI).

Violate any applicable laws or regulations.

10. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, software, and content, is owned by StudyBridge AI and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. User-generated content (notes, homework entries, etc.) remains yours. You grant us a limited license to store and display your content solely to provide the Service. We do not sell or use your personal content to train AI models without consent.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS. WE DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR USEFULNESS OF AI-GENERATED CONTENT.
