Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Study Share LLC's ("Study Share," "we," "our") websites, services, mobile experiences, and voice-enabled tools. By accessing studyshare.app or any related features, you agree to these Terms and to the policies referenced here.

If you are using the services on behalf of a school or organization, you confirm that you have authority to bind that entity. If you do not agree, you may not use Study Share.

• Study Share is available only to individuals 13 years of age or older.
• Students under 18 must obtain permission from a parent or guardian before purchasing premium plans or enabling paid add-ons.
• You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your login.
• We may suspend or delete accounts that violate these Terms, applicable law, or our Community Guidelines and Honor Code.

Study Share provides, among other things:

• AI-powered explanations, diagnostic tools, and practice tests for standardized exams.
• Advanced AI features including image processing capabilities that can analyze and explain visual content.
• Optional voice mode features that convert speech-to-text (STT) and text-to-speech (TTS) to keep your hands free while studying.
• Dashboards, analytics, and chat summaries to monitor your progress.

Study Share LLC continually improves the platform and may add, modify, or remove features at any time. We will not materially reduce paid features without reasonable notice.

When you enable voice mode you allow Study Share to process speech so we can provide hands free explanations:

• Speech is captured on your device, encrypted, and sent to our AI speech service provider for transcription. Only the text transcript is stored.
• Text-to-speech playback is generated on demand and is not retained after playback. Audio is never stored or replayed by default.
• Transcripts appear inside the chat summary as timestamped user and assistant turns so you can revisit prior explanations. This chat summary is stored server-side and synced across devices.
• Voice mode currently supports English. Filler words and background noise are removed to keep the chat summary clean and focused.
• It is your responsibility to ensure you have the right to speak aloud any content processed by voice mode and to keep sensitive information out of recordings.

You agree to maintain a respectful, academically honest environment. Prohibited conduct includes:

• Using AI features to obtain or distribute exam answers, test keys, or other materials that violate school or testing policies.
• Harassing, bullying, threatening, or discriminating against other users, including via voice mode.
• Misusing AI explanations or chat summaries to generate harmful, infringing, or deceptive content.
• Using AI features to process or share content that you do not own or lack permission to use.
• Interfering with the platform through bots, scraping, or denial-of-service attacks.

Study Share LLC may remove content, suspend accounts, or report activity to schools or authorities when necessary to enforce these rules.

You retain ownership of content you create or share through Study Share. When you use our AI features, including image processing, you grant Study Share LLC a limited license to process that content to provide the requested services. We do not claim ownership of your content.

You represent that you have all necessary rights to use any content you submit for AI processing and that such content does not infringe any third-party rights. See Section 10 for DMCA procedures.

• Paid plans renew automatically unless canceled before the renewal date. You can manage billing inside your profile or by contacting support.
• Fees are processed by our third-party payment provider. Taxes may apply based on your location.
• Refund requests are evaluated in good faith and may be denied for accounts that engaged in policy violations or excessive content downloads.

Study Share LLC relies on vetted service providers to operate the platform. These include:

• A managed database and authentication provider that secures user sessions and files.
• A cloud hosting provider that delivers the web application and APIs.
• AI and speech providers that power practice explanations, STT, TTS, and voice analytics.
• An analytics provider that aggregates usage and performance metrics.
• Payment, communication, and support providers that process transactions and support tickets.

Each provider is bound by contractual safeguards and may use your data only to provide services to Study Share.

Our collection and use of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. Voice transcripts are stored as chat summaries with timestamps; audio is not retained by default. We follow U.S. data protection laws and, where applicable, the rights provided by other jurisdictions.

Study Share LLC respects intellectual property rights and expects users to do the same. If you believe content infringes your copyright, send a DMCA notice to team@studyshare.app with:

• Your contact information.
• An identification of the copyrighted work.
• The URL or description of the allegedly infringing content.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

We may remove content and notify the user. Repeat infringement may result in account termination.

Study Share LLC may suspend or terminate your account at any time if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, engaged in fraud, or harmed other users. You may stop using the services at any point. Certain provisions (including Sections 6 through 13) survive termination.

• Study Share services are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied.
• We do not guarantee score improvements, admission outcomes, or uninterrupted availability.
• To the fullest extent permitted by law, Study Share LLC's total liability for any claim arising from the services is limited to the amount you paid for the applicable subscription in the 12 months preceding the claim.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Study Share LLC and its team members from any claims, losses, liabilities, and expenses arising out of your content, your use of the services, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You agree to resolve disputes in state or federal courts located in Delaware, unless a separate written agreement specifies a different forum. We encourage you to contact us first so we can resolve issues informally.

Questions about these Terms, voice mode, or DMCA requests may be sent to team@studyshare.app or through the Help Center. Study Share LLC is based in the United States and responds to requests within 30 days.
