Terms of Service

Last updated: May 2026

1. Introduction & Acceptance

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the PupilBot web application, iOS application, and Telegram bot (collectively, the “Service”), operated by Gabriel Policiuc (“we,” “us,” or “PupilBot”).

By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

You must be at least 16 years of age to use the Service, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) age threshold for consent to data processing. Some EU member states allow a lower age (no younger than 13); if you are between 13 and 16 and reside in such a member state, you may only use the Service with the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

2. Definitions

3. Account Registration & Security

The Service offers the following account types:

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorised use.

4. Service Description

PupilBot is an adaptive study application. Its core features include:

5. Your Content & Uploaded Materials

You may upload study materials to the Service. By uploading material, you represent and warrant that:

You retain full ownership of the material you upload and of the Derived Content tied to your account. By uploading material, you grant PupilBot a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store the material, perform OCR on it, transmit the extracted text to AI providers for topic and question generation, generate questions and grade answers, and make all of that available to you within the Service. This licence exists solely to provide the Service to you and terminates when you delete the material or your account.

We do not use your uploaded materials or Derived Content to train third-party AI models. We do not share or redistribute your uploaded materials to other users.

We reserve the right to reject, suspend processing of, or remove uploads that violate these Terms or applicable law.

6. AI-Generated Content

The Service uses AI models to generate questions and grade answers. By their nature, AI outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading. PupilBot makes no warranty as to the correctness of any generated question, any AI-judged grading, any explanation, or any mastery score.

Educational use only. The Service is a study aid. It is not a substitute for instruction by a qualified teacher, and it must not be relied upon for high-stakes decisions, professional, legal, medical, or safety-critical purposes. You are solely responsible for verifying the accuracy of generated content before relying on it.

You may not use the Service to generate content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, regardless of the input you supply.

7. Subscriptions & Payments

Premium features are available through paid subscriptions, processed via Apple In-App Purchase (on iOS) or Stripe (on the web).

8. Intellectual Property

Our Content: All content, features, and functionality of the Service — including but not limited to design, code, prompts, scheduling algorithms, and user interface — are owned by PupilBot or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Your Content: You retain ownership of the study materials you upload and of the answers you provide. Ownership of the Derived Content (questions, gradings, mastery scores tied to your account) sits with you for the purposes of your private study; we retain the right to use aggregated and anonymised data (data that cannot reasonably be linked back to you) to improve and operate the Service. For the specific licence you grant us in order to make the Service work, see Section 5.

9. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

PupilBot does not warrant that OCR text, generated questions, AI-judged gradings, mastery scores, or any other output of the Service is accurate, complete, current, or suitable for any particular purpose. OCR accuracy and question quality may vary based on the quality of your uploaded material, the underlying AI models, and other factors.

Nothing in this Section limits any non-excludable warranties or rights you may have as a consumer under mandatory EU consumer protection law.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

EU Consumer Rights: Nothing in these Terms shall limit or exclude any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable EU consumer protection law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for gross negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. Where you are a consumer in the EU, your statutory rights under the law of your country of residence are not affected by these Terms.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless PupilBot and its operator from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your misuse of the Service or violation of these Terms; or (b) any claim that material you uploaded to the Service infringes any third party’s intellectual property or other rights.

This indemnification obligation does not apply to the extent that the claim arises from our own negligence or wilful misconduct, and does not limit any rights you may have under mandatory EU consumer protection law.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or applicable law. Where the termination is not based on a material breach by you, we will use reasonable efforts to give advance notice and to refund the unused portion of any prepaid subscription on a pro-rata basis, in accordance with applicable EU consumer law.

You may terminate your account at any time by deleting your account through the Service. Account deletion will trigger cascading deletion of all associated data, including study materials, OCR text, generated questions, your answers, mastery scores, and subscription records held by us. Apple and Stripe retain their own records independently.

Sections 5 (licence grant for already-processed materials, to the extent needed to wind down), 8 (Intellectual Property), 10 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 11 (Limitation of Liability), 12 (Indemnification), and 15 (Governing Law & Dispute Resolution) shall survive termination.

14. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly. For material changes, we will notify registered users by email at least 14 days in advance. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you may terminate your account before the changes take effect.

15. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Romania, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

If you are a consumer residing in the European Union, you retain the benefit of any mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence. Nothing in these Terms affects your rights as a consumer under applicable EU law, including your right to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence under Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 (Brussels I recast).

The European Commission provides an online dispute resolution (ODR) platform, which you can access at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. You may also use that platform to lodge a complaint, although we prefer that you contact us first at [email protected] so we can attempt to resolve the issue directly.

16. Severability & Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and PupilBot regarding your use of the Service.
