Where changes materially affect paid Services or significantly impact users' rights, we will provide notice where required by applicable law.

Nothing in this section limits any rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law.

9. User Content

Edvias allows users to create, upload, submit, transmit and share content through the Services.

User Content may include, without limitation:

  • assignments; essays; notes; study materials; presentations; spreadsheets; images; audio recordings; voice recordings; OCR uploads; AI prompts; AI conversations; messages; Study Group posts; comments; profile information; files and attachments; and other content submitted through the Services.

You retain ownership of your User Content and any intellectual property rights you hold in it. These Terms do not transfer ownership of your User Content to Edvias.

By submitting User Content through Edvias, you grant Edvias a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, process, reproduce, transmit and display that User Content only to the extent reasonably necessary to provide, operate, secure and support the Services, comply with applicable law, and enforce these Terms and our policies.

Submitting User Content to Edvias does not automatically make it public or give other users a right to access or use it. Where you choose to share User Content with other users through features such as messaging, Connections or Study Groups, you permit those users to access, view and use that content within the Services for the purpose for which it was shared.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights and permissions to submit or share User Content. You must not upload or share content that infringes another person's intellectual property, privacy, confidentiality or other legal rights.

Edvias may remove or restrict access to User Content where reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms or our policies, protect users or the Services, respond to complaints, or comply with applicable law.

User Content may be processed by service providers acting on our behalf where necessary to provide the Services, as further described in our Privacy Policy.

Where User Content or an Account is deleted, information will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable retention requirements.

Account Deletion and User Content

Deleting your Edvias Account does not necessarily delete User Content that you previously created, posted or shared through the Services. Certain User Content may remain available after Account deletion, including content shared with other users or posted in Study Groups, discussions or other collaborative areas, where retaining that content is reasonably necessary to preserve conversations, shared resources or the operation of the Services.

Where appropriate, Edvias may remove or de-identify information that directly identifies you in connection with retained User Content, so that the content is no longer displayed as being associated with your deleted Account.

Private User Content and personal information associated with a deleted Account will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, including any applicable retention requirements and the practices of our service providers.

10. Licence Granted to Edvias

To operate the Services, you grant Edvias a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable (only where reasonably necessary to operate the Services), sublicensable licence to:

This licence ends when your User Content is permanently deleted from our active systems, subject to:

  • legal obligations;
  • backup systems;
  • fraud prevention;
  • dispute resolution;
  • security investigations; and
  • any rights retained under applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of your User Content to Edvias.

11. Your Responsibilities for User Content

You are solely responsible for the User Content you upload, create or share through the Services.

Public profiles may display information that you choose to make visible, including:

The Services, including all software, code, designs, branding, logos, graphics, databases, AI systems, documentation, text, audiovisual material and other content made available by Edvias (excluding User Content), are owned by or licensed to Edvias and are protected by copyright, trade mark and other intellectual property laws.

Except as expressly permitted by these Terms or applicable law, you must not:

Nothing in these Terms grants you ownership of the Services or any Edvias intellectual property.

Any breach of this clause is a material breach and may result in consequences including, but not limited to: disqualification, suspension or cancellation of your account. Edvias reserves all rights to also commence legal proceedings against you for any wilful breaches in these regards.

Where liability may lawfully be limited, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

The Services may integrate with or rely upon third-party products and services.

These may include:

  • authentication providers; cloud hosting providers; artificial intelligence providers; OCR providers; voice recognition providers; payment processors; analytics providers; communication services; email providers; educational integrations; and other technology providers.

These providers operate independently of Edvias and any defects, issues or faults with their products and services are not the responsibility of Edvias nor is Edvias obligated to rectify such defects or faults other than to use reasonable endeavors to request the 3rd party to do so.

Your use of third-party services may also be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

Edvias is not responsible for third-party services except to the extent required by applicable law.

26. Third-Party Authentication

You may choose to access the Services using third-party authentication providers such as:

  • Google; Microsoft; Facebook; or other supported identity providers.

When you use third-party authentication:

  • you authorise the provider to share approved account information with Edvias;
  • you remain responsible for complying with the provider's own terms;
  • Edvias is not responsible for outages or security incidents affecting those providers.

You may disconnect supported authentication providers where functionality permits.

27. Artificial Intelligence Providers

To provide AI-powered functionality, Edvias may engage authorised third-party AI service providers.

Depending on the feature used, information such as prompts, uploaded documents, OCR results or voice transcripts may be processed by those providers on behalf of Edvias.

The use of personal information in connection with AI Features is explained further in the Privacy Policy.

AI usage expectations are described in the AI & Academic Integrity Policy.

28. Availability of the Services

We aim to provide reliable and secure Services.

However, the Services may occasionally be unavailable due to:

  • maintenance; upgrades; security measures; technical failures; internet outages; third-party service interruptions; events beyond our reasonable control.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Services.

You will hold Edvias harmless and not be entitled to claim for any alleged losses, damages or other such claims in the event of any outages or disconnection.

Nothing in this section limits any non-excludable rights under applicable law.

29. Updates

We may release updates to:

  • software; mobile applications; AI models; security systems; educational content; APIs; integrations.

Updates may occur automatically where supported.

Some updates may be required to continue using certain features and may be made at Edvias' sole and unfettered discretion.

From time to time, Edvias may offer experimental or beta features.

Beta Features:

  • may be incomplete;
  • may contain errors;
  • may change significantly;
  • may be discontinued without notice;

You use Beta Features at your own discretion.

Educational content made available through the Services is provided for general educational purposes.

Unless expressly stated otherwise:

  • Edvias does not guarantee that educational content satisfies the curriculum requirements of every or a particular institution;
  • educational content should not replace independent study or professional educational advice;
  • users remain responsible for ensuring that submitted work complies with the requirements of their educational institution.

32. No Professional Advice

The Services, including AI-generated responses, educational content and study tools, are provided for general educational and informational purposes and are not a substitute for professional advice or services where these are required.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the Services do not constitute:

  • legal advice;
  • financial, investment, tax or accounting advice;
  • medical, health or clinical advice;
  • psychological, counselling or mental health advice;
  • professional or regulatory advice;
  • educational accreditation, certification or formal assessment;
  • examination supervision or invigilation; or
  • any other regulated professional service.

Edvias is not a school, university, registered training organisation or accreditation body merely by providing the Services.

AI-generated responses and educational content may be incomplete, inaccurate or unsuitable for a user's particular circumstances. Users should independently verify important information and obtain advice from an appropriately qualified professional where necessary.

The Services are intended to support learning and are not a substitute for a teacher, tutor, educational institution or other qualified professional where professional or individualised assistance is required.

Nothing in this section limits any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable law.

33. Privacy

Your privacy is important to us.

Our collection, use, storage, processing and disclosure of personal information in connection with the Services are described in our Privacy Policy and any additional privacy notices presented to you where applicable.

By using the Services, you acknowledge that your personal information will be handled as described in our Privacy Policy, subject to applicable privacy law.

Where consent is required by applicable law for a particular collection, use or disclosure of personal information, we will seek that consent where required.

34. Cookies

Edvias uses cookies and similar technologies to operate, secure, personalise and improve the Services and, where applicable, to understand how the Services are used.

Further information about the cookies and similar technologies we use, their purposes, third parties that may provide them, and the choices available to you is contained in our Cookie Policy.

Where required by applicable law, we will obtain consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

Third-Party Services and Providers

Edvias may use third-party service providers and technologies to provide, operate and support the Services, including hosting, cloud infrastructure, payment processing, authentication, artificial intelligence, communications, analytics and other technical services.

Your use of certain features may involve the processing of information by these providers as described in our Privacy Policy.

Where the Services enable you to access or interact with third-party websites, applications or services, those third-party services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies. Edvias is not responsible for third-party services that are not operated or controlled by Edvias, except to the extent responsibility cannot lawfully be excluded.

35. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect the Services and user information.

However:

  • no online service can guarantee absolute security;
  • users remain responsible for protecting their own devices and login credentials;
  • prompt reporting of suspected unauthorised access assists in protecting Accounts.

Further information is contained in our Security Policy.

36. Warranty Disclaimer

To the extent required by applicable law, the Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Edvias does not warrant that:

  • all AI-generated content will be accurate;
  • educational content will satisfy every curriculum or institution;

  • the Services will meet every user's expectations or requirements.

Nothing in these Terms excludes any guarantee or right that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable legislation.

Artificial Intelligence is a tool designed to support learning.

AI-generated responses are created automatically and may:

  • contain factual errors;
  • be incomplete;
  • become outdated;
  • contain biased or misleading information;
  • misunderstand prompts;
  • produce inconsistent responses.

AI output should always be reviewed using your own judgement.

Edvias does not guarantee that AI-generated content is suitable for:

  • examinations; assignments; academic assessment; legal decisions; financial decisions; medical decisions; professional advice; emergency situations.

You remain responsible for verifying AI-generated information before relying upon it.

Further information is contained in the AI & Academic Integrity Policy.

38. Educational Disclaimer

Edvias provides educational tools to assist learning.

The Services are intended to complement—not replace:

  • teachers; tutors; educational institutions; textbooks; independent research; professional advice.

Users remain wholly responsible for:

  • their learning;
  • their academic work;
  • complying with institutional requirements;
  • checking references;
  • verifying calculations;
  • ensuring submitted work satisfies applicable academic integrity rules.

Edvias is not responsible for academic outcomes resulting from reliance on AI-generated or educational content.

39. Availability Disclaimer

We aim to provide continuous access to the Services.

However, access may occasionally be interrupted because of:

  • maintenance; software updates; security measures; hardware failures; telecommunications outages; failures of third-party providers; cyber security incidents; events beyond our reasonable control.

We may suspend access where reasonably necessary to:

  • maintain security; protect users; investigate abuse; comply with legal obligations; improve the Services.

40. Third-Party Disclaimer

The Services may integrate with third-party providers including:

  • authentication providers; AI providers; cloud hosting providers; payment processors; analytics providers; communication providers.

While we carefully select service providers, we cannot control their systems, availability or policies.

Edvias is not responsible for interruptions, failures or acts or omissions of independent third-party providers except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.

41. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Edvias and its directors, officers, employees, contractors and licensors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive loss or damage arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Services.

This includes, without limitation:

  • loss of profits; loss of revenue; loss of business opportunities; loss of goodwill; loss of data; business interruption; reputational damage; indirect financial loss.

Where liability cannot be excluded under applicable law, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by that law.

For Services supplied to consumers under the Australian Consumer Law, where liability may lawfully be limited, Edvias' liability is limited (at our option) to one or more of the following:

  • supplying the Services again; or
  • paying the reasonable cost of having the Services supplied again.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

42. User Responsibility

You acknowledge that you are responsible for:

  • how you use the Services;
  • how you use AI-generated content;
  • decisions made using information obtained through the Services;
  • protecting your Account;
  • protecting your own devices;
  • backing up important information where appropriate.

Edvias is not responsible for losses resulting from your failure to:

  • maintain account security;
  • verify AI-generated information;
  • comply with educational institution requirements; or
  • maintain appropriate backups of your own important data.

43. Indemnity

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Edvias, its directors, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates and licensors from and against any claims, actions, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal costs) arising from or relating to:

  • your breach of these Terms;
  • your misuse of the Services;
  • your unlawful conduct;
  • your infringement of another person's intellectual property or other legal rights;
  • your User Content;
  • your violation of applicable law.

This indemnity survives termination of these Terms and the contracted relationship between you and Edvias.

Nothing in this clause requires you to indemnify Edvias to the extent that the relevant claim arises from Edvias' own negligence, wilful misconduct or breach of applicable law.

44. Force Majeure

Edvias is not responsible for delays or failures to perform obligations under these Terms where the delay or failure results from events beyond our reasonable control.

Such events may include:

  • natural disasters; fires; floods; pandemics; industrial disputes; internet outages; cyber attacks; government actions; acts of terrorism; failures of utility providers; failures of third-party infrastructure.

We will use reasonable efforts to resume normal operation as soon as reasonably practicable in such events, but we are not obligated to do so if the costs of doing so are, in our sole opinion, unreasonable or disproportionally high.

45. Suspension of the Services

We may suspend or restrict access to all or part of the Services where we reasonably believe it is necessary to:

  • protect the security or integrity of the Services;
  • investigate suspected breaches of these Terms;
  • investigate reports of unlawful or harmful conduct;
  • protect other users;
  • comply with applicable law;
  • respond to a court order or lawful request from a government authority;
  • perform maintenance or emergency repairs;
  • prevent fraud or other misuse of the Services.

Where reasonably practicable, we will provide notice before a suspension takes effect. However, we may suspend access immediately where we reasonably believe doing so is necessary to protect users, the Services, or to comply with legal obligations.

46. Termination

You may stop using the Services and close your Account at any time.

We may suspend or terminate your Account if we reasonably believe that you:

  • have materially breached these Terms;
  • have repeatedly breached our Community Guidelines;
  • have engaged in unlawful conduct;
  • have attempted to compromise the security or operation of the Services;
  • have infringed the rights of another person;
  • have used the Services fraudulently;
  • have failed to pay applicable Subscription fees after reasonable opportunity to remedy the non-payment.

Where appropriate, we may issue warnings or provide an opportunity to correct the issue before terminating an Account. However, we are not required to do so where immediate action is reasonably necessary.

Termination of your Account does not affect:

  • rights accrued before termination;
  • outstanding payment obligations;
  • rights relating to intellectual property;
  • confidentiality obligations;
  • provisions intended to survive termination.

47. Effect of Termination

Following termination or closure of your Account:

  • your right to access the Services ends;
  • your Subscription may end in accordance with the Subscription & Billing Policy;
  • we may delete or de-identify your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and Data Retention practices; and
  • some information may be retained where required by law or reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution or legal compliance.

Shared and Collaborative Content

Termination or closure of your Account does not automatically remove User Content that you previously shared with other users or contributed to Study Groups, group projects, discussions or other collaborative areas of the Services.

Where reasonably necessary to preserve a group project, conversation, shared resource, academic record or the contributions of other users, Edvias may retain and continue to make that User Content available after termination or closure of your Account.

If you request removal of User Content that forms part of a group project or other collaborative content, Edvias may consider whether removal is reasonably practicable and whether it would materially affect the project, its context, the rights or contributions of other users, or the operation of the Services. Where appropriate, Edvias may remove or de-identify information identifying you rather than removing the underlying contribution.

Where removal would not materially affect other users, the integrity or context of collaborative content, or Edvias' legitimate legal, security or operational requirements, Edvias may remove the content following a reasonable request, subject to our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

Nothing in this section limits any rights you may have to request deletion of personal information under applicable law.

Any provisions of these Terms which by their nature are intended to continue after termination will survive termination.

48. Electronic Communications

By creating an Account or using the Services, you agree to receive communications from Edvias electronically.

These communications may include:

  • security notifications; verification emails; billing notices; updates to the Services; legal notices; support communications; information relating to your Account.

Where required by law, you may choose whether to receive marketing communications.

You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time, but you will continue to receive essential service-related communications where necessary.

49. Changes to the Services

Edvias may continually develop and improve the Services at its discretion.

Accordingly, we may:

  • introduce new functionality;
  • remove features;
  • improve existing tools;
  • change AI models;
  • modify interfaces;
  • introduce new subscription plans;
  • discontinue products or features.

We will use reasonable efforts to minimise disruption where practical.

50. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time.

Reasons for updating these Terms include:

  • changes to the Services;
  • technological developments;
  • changes in applicable law;
