Terms of Service

Class Speedrun is run by [Operator legal name], in Pennsylvania, USA ("we", "us"). These terms are an agreement between you and us.

To reach us, email help@classspeedrun.ai or use the Contact page.

You agree to these terms by ticking a box when you add your first class or ask for a sign-in link. The box says: "I'm 18 or older, agree to the Terms and have read the Privacy Policy." We keep a record of which version you agreed to and when.

The Privacy Policy explains what we do with your data. Ticking the box confirms you've read it.

If you delete your account, we keep a small record that it agreed: a scrambled code that can't be turned back into your email, which version, and when. The Privacy Policy says how long.

These policies are part of these terms too: Academic Integrity & Acceptable Use, the Copyright & DMCA Policy and the AI Disclosure.

If you don't agree, don't use the app.

Privacy PolicyAcademic IntegrityCopyrightAI Disclosure

You must be 18 or older. Class Speedrun is made for college students. If we learn that someone under 18 is using it, we close the account and delete its data.

You must be able to make a binding agreement where you live, and not be barred from using the app by law.

An account is for one person. Don't share it or use someone else's.

When you first open the app we make a guest account in your browser, so you can try it without signing up. A guest account lives in that browser: if you clear your browser data before adding an email, your classes can't be recovered.

Add your email to keep your classes and open them on any device. We send a sign-in link; there's no password. Keep access to your email safe: anyone who can open your sign-in links can open your account.

When you add your email, everything in the guest account moves to your account, including the record that you agreed to these terms.

Tell us right away if you think someone else got into your account.

It's for studying. You're responsible for following your school's academic integrity policy and your instructors' rules, including rules about AI tools and about uploading or sharing course materials. If a course rule and these terms differ, follow whichever is stricter.

You agree not to use it to:

• cheat, or get or give help on graded work that your instructor hasn't allowed;
• use it during an exam, quiz or other graded assessment, unless your instructor clearly allows it;
• upload or share exam content: exams or quizzes you were told to hand back, answer keys or solutions for graded work, test banks, solution manuals or instructor-only materials, or post exam questions anywhere;
• hand in what it writes as your own work, unless your instructor allows AI help and you follow their rules for saying so;
• break your course's or school's rules, such as rules about AI tools, sharing course materials or recording class;
• get around its limits or safeguards (for example, splitting an assignment into pieces to get answers, or asking it to reword text so it reads as yours);
• post or spread claims about real people, such as your professors;
• break into other accounts, scrape or overload the app, make accounts in bulk, or use it to harm anyone or break the law.

It's built to decline homework, essays and answers to graded questions, and to explain the idea instead. We don't act for your school, and your school may have its own process.

Academic Integrity & Acceptable Use

The first time you add a class, you tick: "I'll only upload materials my course policies allow." That's a promise to us. Some courses don't allow uploading slides, exams or other course materials to AI tools. Check your syllabus before you upload.

When we read a syllabus, we show you any line that looks like a rule about AI tools or sharing materials. That check can miss things. It's still your job to follow your course's rules.

How the check works

"Your content" means files you upload (slides, notes, study guides, practice exams, photos, pasted text), the Prof. Hints and notes you type, and your answers and reports.

You keep it. You (or whoever owns it, such as your instructor or a publisher) keep every right in your content. We don't claim ownership of anything you upload or type.

You promise you're allowed to upload it: you have the right to use it for your own study, for example because your instructor gave it to your class, you made it yourself, or you have permission. Don't upload other people's personal information beyond what's in normal course materials.

The only permission you give us: a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free permission to store, copy, read and process your content (including by sending it to the AI service that reads it for us) only to provide the app to you: reading your files, ranking topics, writing your practice questions and cards, and keeping your account working. This permission:

• doesn't let us show your files or their text to anyone else, publish them, sell them, or use them to train AI models;
• covers the topic-level facts described in the Privacy Policy (like which topics an exam covered), which may be combined with other students' facts, never a file or its text. You can turn that off on the Account page;
• ends when you delete the content or your account. Two exceptions: a copy can stay in a backup until that backup is deleted (we're still setting how long backups are kept, and the Privacy Policy will say), and some records are kept longer where the law requires (for example records of a copyright notice).

Things we make for you (practice questions, flashcards, summaries, rankings) are for your own study. You may use them for that and keep them. Don't sell them or post them as exam content.

We may remove content or limit an account if we reasonably believe it breaks these terms or the law, and we'll tell you in the app when we do.

If someone tells us your upload uses their work without permission, we follow our Copyright & DMCA Policy. We may remove it, tell you, and let you send a counter-notice. We aim to act on a complete notice within 2 business days.

Repeat infringers lose access. If 2 valid notices are filed against your account within 12 months, you can't add files for 30 days. At 3 within 12 months, we close the account.

Copyright & DMCA Policy

Rankings, Skip and Low priority labels, the Test Plan, practice questions, flashcards, explanations, answer checks and review sheets are written by AI from your files and other sources. They can be wrong, incomplete or out of date. Wherever AI writes, the app says so: "Study aid. Can be wrong; check your course materials."

A ranking is a prediction about what's likely on an exam. It isn't a statement of what's on your exam or what your course requires. We don't promise any grade, score or result.

Check your Skip and Low priority topics against your study guide, and don't rely on the app alone for a grade that matters.

AI Disclosure

If you enter your professor and school, we search public web pages for how the course's exams usually work (format, what's covered, what's allowed). Each line shows where it came from and the source's year. We don't use review or discussion sites in it. It's about how exams are run, never a rating or review of a person.

What it finds is kept with the course, so other students in the same course see the same findings.

Anyone, including the professor, can report a problem with a line, ask for a correction or opt out on the For Professors and Schools page. We aim to answer a correction within about 2 business days and an opt-out within about 5.

For Professors and Schools

After an exam you can tell us which topics showed up. Your report stays private to you. Facts from it, and from the rest of your class, are added to private counts for your course (course insights), as the Privacy Policy describes.

Other students only see totals backed by at least 3 signed-up students (5 for grades, hours studied and study methods), never your own report.

Reports about an exam wait until 7 days after the latest date we know of for that exam, make-ups and other sections included. A student whose exam comes later never gets reports about that exam from the same semester.

Topic names you type or rename can become the course's shared topic names. Those stay with the course after you delete your class or account.

You can turn course insights off on the Account page. What you added is removed right away.

Course insights

The heavier AI steps (topic rankings, review sheets, syllabus reads, explainers and answer checks) have weekly limits per student, counted Monday to Sunday on your own clock. Opening something you've already made doesn't count, and neither does a step that failed. The Pricing page lists the numbers, and the app shows what's left before a step starts.

There are also daily limits, to keep the app fair and stop abuse. Each one counts the last 24 hours:

• questions about a topic: 25 a day per student, across all your topics;
• adding files: 100 a day per student (25 for a guest account);
• exam reports: 10 a day; topic fixes: 60 a day;
• changing a class's school, professor or course name: 10 a day; starting Test Plan research: 3 a day; downloading your data: 5 a day;
• Prof. Hints, flagged questions and other feedback: past a daily number, they still save for you but stop adding to course insights until the next day;
• AI requests from one network (like a dorm): 60 of the heavier ones and 600 in all, a day.

The whole app also has a monthly budget for AI. If it runs out, new AI steps pause for everyone until the next month starts. Everything you've already made still opens.

New Test Plan research is also capped for the whole app at 40 a day, so a new one may wait until the next day.

Don't try to get around any limit.

Pricing and weekly limits

It's free right now. One class is free, with every feature, and no card is needed. Nothing is for sale yet and we don't take payments. The Monthly plan on the Pricing page is planned, not for sale.

Paid plans aren't open. When they are, the plan we expect to sell first is a one-time semester pass that doesn't renew by itself. If we ever offer a plan that renews, we'll show the price, how often it renews and how to cancel before you buy, and ask you to agree to it separately.

Every paid plan will come with a 30-day money-back guarantee: ask within 30 days of paying and you get a full refund. The Refund & Cancellation Policy has the details. It isn't in effect until paid plans open.

If the free plan ever changes, we'll tell you first, and nothing you've made will be locked away.

Refund & Cancellation Policy

The app is new. We may add, change or stop features. If we stop a feature you rely on, we'll try to tell you first and give you a way to download your data.

You can stop any time. Delete a class from its page, or everything with "Delete all my data" on the Account page. Deleting everything ends this agreement.

We may limit features, pause uploads, suspend or close an account if we reasonably believe it breaks these terms or the law, puts other students or the app at risk, or belongs to a repeat copyright infringer. We'll tell you in the app and say why, unless the law or safety stops us. If you think we got it wrong, write to us.

If we stop running the app entirely, we'll give you notice and time to download your data.

Sections 7 (the parts about what happens to your content), 16 to 20 and 22 keep applying after the agreement ends.

We work hard on Class Speedrun, but we provide it "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no promises beyond those written in these terms, including that it will be accurate, uninterrupted, error-free or right for your purpose, or that using it will improve your grades.

Some places don't allow these disclaimers, so some may not apply to you.

What this means for you: if the app lets you down, what you can claim from us is limited.

To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses. Examples: a lower grade, a missed opportunity, or lost data you didn't keep a copy of.

Our total liability for any claim about the app is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or US$50.

These limits don't apply where the law doesn't allow them. For example, they don't cover losses caused by our fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, or rights you have as a consumer that can't be given up.

What this means for you: if a claim against us comes from your upload, or from you breaking these terms, you may have to cover our costs.

If someone brings a claim against us because of content you uploaded, or because you broke these terms or the law, you agree to cover our reasonable costs of that claim, to the extent the law allows.

We'll tell you about the claim and let you take part in defending it.

What this means for you: talk to us first. If that doesn't work, a court in Pennsylvania decides, or small claims court where you live.

Talk to us first. Most problems can be fixed quickly: email help@classspeedrun.ai or use the Contact page. If we can't sort it out within 30 days, either of us can take it further.

Courts: any dispute about these terms or the app goes to the state or federal courts in Pennsylvania, and you and we agree to those courts' jurisdiction. You can still bring a claim in small claims court where you live if it qualifies.

If we change this section, you'll be asked to agree to the new version. The change won't apply to a dispute that already started.

What this means for you: Pennsylvania law applies, but you keep the consumer rights your own state gives you.

Pennsylvania law governs these terms, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

If you live somewhere whose consumer-protection laws give you rights that can't be given up, you keep them.

Every version has a number and a date, and the Legal page lists what changed.

If we make a change that matters (to your rights, what you agree to, or how we use your data), we'll tell you in the app before it applies, with a short summary of what changed. You'll be asked to tick: "I agree to the updated Terms and have read the updated Privacy Policy."

Until you do, you can still open your classes to read them, and use the Account page to download, fix or delete your data, or sign out. Adding files, Prof. Hints and new classes, and the AI features (Test Plan research, topic questions, quizzes and re-ranking), wait until you agree.

Small fixes (typos, clearer wording) don't need a new agreement.

All versions

These terms and the policies they name are the whole agreement between you and us about the app. If a part can't be enforced, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a part right away, we haven't given it up. You can't transfer this agreement; we may transfer it to a company that takes over the app, and we'll tell you if we do.

Questions about these terms: email help@classspeedrun.ai or use the Contact page.
