Legal
Terms of Service
Rules for using the Protégé teaching workspace.
Agreement
By accessing or using Protégé (“the Service”), you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
The service
Protégé provides an AI-assisted environment for learning by teaching: you explain topics, the system asks focused questions, and it maintains a personal knowledge ledger. Features may change during beta; we may add, modify, or remove functionality with reasonable notice where practical.
Accounts
- You must provide accurate information and keep your sign-in credentials secure.
- You are responsible for activity under your account.
- You may delete your account in Settings; see the Privacy Policy for how data is removed.
- We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or pose risk to the Service or others.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for unlawful, harmful, or abusive purposes.
- Attempt to access another user’s sessions, ledger, or data without authorization.
- Probe, scan, or test vulnerabilities except through our coordinated disclosure process.
- Upload malware, spam automated traffic, or interfere with normal operation.
- Use the Service to generate or store content that infringes others’ intellectual property or privacy rights.
- Reverse engineer or resell the Service except where law expressly permits.
Your content
You retain ownership of content you submit (teaching text, code snippets, voice transcripts, and similar). You grant us a limited license to host, process, and display that content solely to operate and improve the Service, including sending portions to AI providers as described in the Privacy Policy.
AI outputs
AI-generated questions, feedback, and ledger suggestions may be inaccurate or incomplete. They are for learning support, not professional, medical, legal, or safety-critical advice. You are responsible for how you use outputs.
Our intellectual property
The Service, brand, UI, and underlying software are owned by us or our licensors. These Terms do not grant you rights to our trademarks or code except as needed to use the Service in a normal way.
Disclaimer
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION.
Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR SUPPLIERS ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS; IN THOSE CASES, LIMITATIONS APPLY ONLY TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED.
Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or end access for breach of these Terms, legal requirements, or discontinuation of the Service. Sections that by nature should survive (limitations, disclaimers, governing law) survive termination.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory consumer protection laws in your country of residence apply. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of Maricopa County, Arizona, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
Changes
We may update these Terms. The “Last updated” date shows the current version. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
