Terms of Service

By accessing or using Studimoe (the "Service"), provided by Studimoe Inc. ("Studimoe," "we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the Service, via email, or by updating the "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after such modifications constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

Studimoe is an AI-powered academic assistant that helps students organize their coursework and study more effectively. The Service includes:

• Assignment Sync: A Chrome extension that scrapes assignment data from supported Learning Management Systems (Canvas, Blackboard, Google Classroom, and PrairieLearn) and syncs it to your Studimoe dashboard.
• AI Chat: An AI-powered conversational assistant that helps you understand assignments, generate study ideas, and receive academic guidance.
• Study Guide Generation: AI-generated structured study guides based on your assignments and context material.
• Writing Style Profiles (Tone Sheets): AI-analyzed writing characteristics from documents you upload, used to generate responses in your personal voice.
• Citation Tools: Automatic citation formatting in APA, MLA, and Chicago styles.
• Notes: A note-taking feature for organizing your study materials.
• Subscription Management: Stripe-powered billing for Free and Pro plan tiers.

The Service is available only to individuals with a valid Studimoe account. Some features require the Studimoe Chrome extension to be installed and active.

To use Studimoe, you must:

• Be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required by applicable law in your jurisdiction).
• Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.
• Provide accurate and complete information when creating your account.
• Maintain the security of your authentication credentials (email-based magic-link tokens).
• Not share your account credentials with any other person.

If you are under 18 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), you may use the Service only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian. Parents or guardians are responsible for their minor child's use of the Service.

You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. If you suspect unauthorized use of your account, notify us immediately at support@studimoe.com.

Studimoe provides a Chrome browser extension ("Extension") that interacts with Learning Management Systems (LMS) to scrape assignment data. By installing and using the Extension, you agree to the following:

• Permissions: The Extension requires access to read page content on supported LMS platforms, store data locally in your browser, communicate with Studimoe servers, and manage scheduled sync alarms.
• Data Scraping: The Extension reads assignment information (title, course, due date, points, URL) from LMS pages you visit. It does not access or transmit any other content from those pages.
• LMS Credentials: Studimoe does not store your LMS login credentials. Authentication to LMS platforms is handled through your existing browser session.
• Local Storage: The Extension stores assignment data, authentication tokens, and configuration settings locally in your browser using chrome.storage.local. This data is not shared with any third party.
• Third-Party LMS Terms: Your use of LMS platforms is governed by their respective terms of service. Studimoe is not affiliated with Canvas, Blackboard, Google Classroom, or any other LMS provider. We are not responsible for any changes to those platforms that may affect the Extension's functionality.

You may uninstall the Extension at any time through your Chrome extension settings. Uninstalling the Extension will not delete data already synced to Studimoe servers; you must request account deletion separately if desired.

Studimoe integrates artificial intelligence (AI) powered by third-party language models (primarily OpenAI's GPT models). By using AI features, you acknowledge and agree:

• Probabilistic Output: AI-generated content ("Output") is inherently probabilistic and may contain inaccuracies, inconsistencies, or inappropriate suggestions. Output is provided "as is" without any warranty of accuracy or fitness for a particular purpose.
• User Responsibility: You are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and deciding whether to use any AI-generated Output. You must ensure that your use of Output compl with your educational institution's academic integrity policies.
• No Professional Advice: AI Output does not constitute professional academic, legal, medical, or any other form of advice. You should exercise independent judgment and consult qualified professionals when appropriate.
• Streaming, Not Stored: AI chat messages are streamed in real time and are not persisted to our database. Study guides, citations, tone sheets, and notes generated by AI are stored under your account.
• Tone Sheet Analysis: When you upload a document for writing-style analysis, the raw document text is sent to the AI model for analysis and is not stored. Only the AI-extracted characteristics (voice patterns, grammar patterns, commonly used words, etc.) are saved to your account.
• Input Limits: To maintain service quality and security, we impose character limits on messages (4,000 characters per message, maximum 20 messages per chat turn) and document uploads (50,000 characters for Tone Sheet analysis).

You agree to use Studimoe in a manner that is lawful, ethical, and consistent with the academic integrity policies of your educational institution. Specifically, you agree not to:

• Use the Service to facilitate plagiarism, cheating, or any other form of academic dishonesty.
• Submit AI-generated content as your own original work if prohibited by your institution or instructor.
• Use the Service to impersonate another person or misrepresent your authorship.
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the underlying code or models from the Service.
• Use the Service to transmit unlawful, defamatory, obscene, or harmful content.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other users' accounts, or our computer systems.
• Use automated tools (bots, scrapers, scripts) to access the Service except through our official Extension and API.
• Exceed rate limits or otherwise attempt to abuse or disrupt the Service's infrastructure.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated these Terms. We may also report academic misconduct to your institution when required by law or institutional policy.

We encourage you to review and follow your institution's specific guidelines on the use of AI tools for academic work. Our Academic Integrity page provides additional guidance.
