1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service and Conditions (the “Terms”) form a legally binding agreement between you (“you”, “user”) and the operator of StudyTok (“StudyTok”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) regarding your access to and use of the StudyTok mobile applications for iOS and Android, related websites (including this landing page), APIs, cloud sync features, and any related services (collectively, the “Service”).
By creating an account, signing in with Apple or Google, scanning materials, creating decks, enabling cloud sync, purchasing a subscription, or otherwise using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms, including all disclaimers about data loss, AI accuracy, and limitation of liability.
If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” includes that organization.
2. Definitions
- “Content” means text, images, photos, notes, flashcards, decks, metadata, preferences, usage statistics, and any other materials you submit, generate, upload, store, or process through the Service.
- “AI Features” means automated generation, extraction, rewriting, or structuring of flashcards or related study materials using machine-learning or third-party AI providers.
- “Cloud Sync” means optional account-linked backup, upload, download, or incremental synchronization of decks, cards, and related data between your device and our servers (or processors we use).
- “Premium” means paid plans, subscriptions, or entitlements that unlock additional features (for example unlimited AI scans), as offered from time to time.
3. Eligibility & Accounts
You must be able to form a binding contract under applicable law. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account, including activity via Apple Sign In, Google Sign-In, or device-linked purchase accounts (e.g., Apple ID / Google Play). Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access.
We may refuse registration, reclaim usernames, require verification, or restrict accounts that appear abusive, fraudulent, automated, or in violation of these Terms or store policies.
Account deletion
You may request deletion of your account where the product provides that option or by contacting us. Deletion may be irreversible. Residual copies may remain in backups for a limited period for operational, legal, or security reasons, after which they are deleted or anonymized in the ordinary course.
4. Description of the Service
StudyTok helps users create and review flashcards, including by photographing study materials and using AI Features to propose cards, organizing decks by subject, applying spaced-repetition scheduling, tracking streaks and progress, and optionally syncing data via Cloud Sync.
The Service is provided for personal educational convenience only. It is not a school, university, exam board, professional licensing body, medical advice service, legal advice service, or tutoring guarantee. StudyTok does not promise improved grades, exam passage, career outcomes, or any particular learning result.
Features, free-tier limits (including scan quotas), Premium entitlements, and availability may change. We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
5. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer
AI Features may produce incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, biased, or misleading flashcards. Optical character recognition and language models can misread handwriting, diagrams, formulas, languages, or context. Generated cards are suggestions only.
Do not treat StudyTok output as authoritative for medicine, law, engineering safety, aviation, finance, or other regulated domains. We disclaim liability for decisions made based on AI Features or study materials created through the Service.
You must only scan or upload materials you have the right to use. You must not use the Service to infringe copyrights, exam confidentiality rules, or institutional policies.
6. No Guarantee of Data Persistence — Data Loss
Important: We do not guarantee that your decks, flashcards, progress, streaks, preferences, account data, or any other Content will be preserved, recoverable, or free from loss, corruption, delay, or deletion.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, data may be lost, altered, corrupted, delayed, or become unavailable due to any of the following (illustrative, non-exhaustive):
- device failure, theft, factory reset, OS update, app uninstall, cache clearing, or storage full conditions;
- bugs, crashes, race conditions, sync conflicts, incomplete uploads/downloads, or software defects in the Service or third-party libraries;
- network interruptions, timeouts, offline use, airplane mode, captive portals, or unstable connectivity during sync;
- server outages, maintenance, migrations, database failures, disk failures, or provider incidents;
- account revocation (including Apple or Google account issues), session expiry, credential loss, or unauthorized access;
- accidental deletion, archive actions, overwrite by sync, or conflicting edits across devices;
- force majeure events, cyberattacks, ransomware, denial-of-service, or security incidents;
- changes to free/Premium entitlements, feature removals, or termination of the Service;
- actions you take (or fail to take), including declining backups, signing out, or ignoring restore prompts.
Local storage and Cloud Sync are convenience features, not archival storage, not a substitute for your own backup strategy, and not a warranty of durability. If your Content is important, you must keep independent copies outside StudyTok (for example screenshots, exports if available, original notes, or your own files).
7. Cloud Sync, Backups & Your Responsibility
Cloud Sync, where available, may upload and download decks, cards, and related stats when you are signed in. Sync is best-effort. Conflicts may be resolved by last-write-wins or similar heuristics that can overwrite newer or older versions unexpectedly.
We do not promise continuous availability, zero-downtime restores, point-in-time recovery, version history, or that a restore will match a prior device state. “Restore from cloud” and similar actions may replace local data. Proceed carefully.
Your obligations
- Maintain your own backups of critical study materials outside the Service.
- Verify that sync completed successfully before wiping a device.
- Do not rely solely on StudyTok as the only copy of exam-critical content.
- Understand that free-tier, Premium, or account changes may affect sync capacity or retention.
We may impose reasonable technical limits (size, rate, retention). We may delete inactive accounts or orphaned data after notice or as disclosed in product communications, to the extent allowed by law.
8. Subscriptions, Trials & Payments
Certain features may require payment through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or other payment processors. Purchases are subject to the store’s terms, billing, taxes, refund rules, and chargeback policies. We do not control store refund decisions.
Subscriptions may auto-renew until cancelled in your store account settings. Manage or cancel renewals through Apple or Google as applicable. Deleting the app does not automatically cancel a subscription.
Prices, entitlements, and trial lengths may change. If a free trial converts to paid, you authorize the store to charge according to its disclosures at purchase time.
Unless required by law or store policy, fees are non-refundable. We are not responsible for payment failures, currency conversion, or account holds imposed by payment providers.
9. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- use the Service for unlawful, harmful, harassing, fraudulent, or infringing purposes;
- upload malware, attempt to probe or breach systems, scrape at abusive rates, or reverse engineer except where mandatory law allows;
- interfere with other users’ access or overload infrastructure;
- misrepresent identity, spoof auth tokens, or share accounts in a way that violates store or security rules;
- use AI Features to generate content that violates academic integrity rules when such use is prohibited by your institution (you are responsible for knowing those rules);
- submit content you do not have rights to process, including confidential exam materials when prohibited;
- use the Service to provide clinical, legal, or other professional advice to third parties as if StudyTok were a licensed professional.
We may investigate suspected violations and suspend or terminate access without liability for resulting data unavailability.
10. Intellectual Property
The Service, including software, branding, UI, logos, and documentation, is owned by StudyTok or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer ownership to you. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the app for personal, non-commercial study in accordance with these Terms.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or create derivative works of the Service except as expressly allowed.
11. Your Content & License to Us
You retain ownership of your Content to the extent you own it. You grant StudyTok a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, transmit, process, display, backup, and otherwise use your Content solely as needed to operate, maintain, secure, improve, and provide the Service (including AI processing and Cloud Sync), and to comply with law.
You represent that you have all rights necessary to submit Content and that doing so does not violate third-party rights or law. You are solely responsible for Content you create or upload.
We may remove Content that appears unlawful, infringing, abusive, or harmful to the Service, without duty to monitor all Content.
12. Third-Party Services
The Service may rely on third parties such as Apple, Google, RevenueCat, cloud hosting providers, analytics (if enabled), and AI model providers. Their availability, policies, outages, and data practices are outside our full control.
Links or integrations do not imply endorsement. Your use of third-party services may be governed by separate terms. We are not responsible for third-party acts, omissions, pricing, or data loss occurring in third-party systems.
13. Privacy
Use of the Service involves processing account identifiers, usage data, device information, and Content you choose to sync or scan. By using the Service you consent to processing reasonably necessary to provide features you request (authentication, AI generation, sync, subscriptions, abuse prevention, and support).
Scanned images and derived text may be transmitted to AI providers to generate flashcards. Do not scan highly sensitive personal data (e.g., government IDs, passwords, health records of others) unless you accept the risks of transmission and processing.
If a separate Privacy Policy is published for StudyTok, it forms part of your agreement with us. Where required by law, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data — contact us using the details below.
14. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, completeness, reliability, security, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.
We do not warrant that: (a) the Service will meet your requirements or exam deadlines; (b) defects will be corrected; (c) the Service is free of viruses or harmful components; (d) AI output is correct; (e) Cloud Sync will succeed; or (f) any data will be preserved.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty disclaimers. In those places, disclaimers apply to the fullest extent permitted, and mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
15. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, STUDYTOK AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND PARTNERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
WITHOUT LIMITATION, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR: FAILED EXAMS OR GRADES; MISSED DEADLINES; LOST OR CORRUPTED FLASHCARDS OR DECKS; FAILED OR CONFLICTING SYNCHRONIZATION; AI ERRORS; DEVICE OR NETWORK FAILURES; THIRD-PARTY OUTAGES; UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS RESULTING FROM YOUR CREDENTIAL MANAGEMENT; OR INABILITY TO ACCESS THE SERVICE.
These limitations are a fundamental part of the bargain and apply even if any remedy fails of its essential purpose. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law (for example, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence where such exclusion is prohibited, or fraud).
16. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless StudyTok and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your Content; (b) your use or misuse of the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms or law; (d) your infringement of third-party rights; or (e) disputes between you and academic institutions regarding academic integrity or permitted tools.
17. Suspension & Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access immediately if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, create risk or legal exposure, or if we discontinue the Service.
Upon termination, your license ends. We may delete or disable access to your Content. Sections that by nature should survive (including disclaimers, data-loss provisions, limitation of liability, indemnity, and governing law) survive termination.
Termination does not automatically refund subscriptions; store rules apply.
18. Changes to the Service or Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. Material changes may be communicated in-app, on the website, or by other reasonable means. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms, except where mandatory law requires express consent.
If you do not agree to updated Terms, you must stop using the Service and cancel any subscription via the applicable store.
19. Governing Law & Disputes
To the extent permitted by law, these Terms are governed by the laws applicable to the operator’s principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Consumers in the EU/EEA/UK and other jurisdictions may retain mandatory protections of their country of residence.
Before filing a formal claim, you agree to attempt to resolve disputes informally by contacting us and allowing 30 days for a response. Nothing prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief for IP misuse or unauthorized access.
If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Where local law prohibits class-action waivers or mandatory arbitration for consumers, those local rules control.
20. Miscellaneous
- Entire agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement regarding the Service and supersede prior understandings on the same subject, except any separate Privacy Policy or store terms that also apply.
- No waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later.
- Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
- Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond reasonable control.
- Language. These Terms are provided in English. Translations, if any, are for convenience; English controls unless mandatory law requires otherwise.
- Export & sanctions. You must comply with applicable export control and sanctions laws and may not use the Service if you are prohibited from receiving such software or services.
- Apple / Google notice. If you obtain the app via Apple or Google, you acknowledge that those platforms are third-party beneficiaries of certain license provisions as required by their standard EULA terms, and that support, warranties (if any), and claims related to the app are primarily our responsibility as stated in store requirements — subject always to the disclaimers in these Terms.

Questions about these Terms, data concerns, or account deletion requests can be sent to the StudyTok support channel associated with your app store listing or the contact method published on the StudyTok website.

Final reminder: StudyTok is a study aid. We do not guarantee learning outcomes, AI accuracy, uptime, or the safety of your data. Keep your own backups. Use the Service at your own risk.
