Terms of Service & User Agreement

Effective Date: October 28, 2026 • Governed by the Laws of India

Welcome to MyTextbookAI (operated by MyTextbookAI, “we”, “us”, or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding electronic contract between you (“User”, “Student”, “Parent”, or “Guardian”) and MyTextbookAI, governed by the provisions of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, the Information Technology Act, 2000 (“IT Act”), and the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020.

By accessing, browsing, registering for, or using our web application, mobile interface, or voice services (collectively, the “Platform”), you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must discontinue using the Platform immediately.

1. Eligibility & Minors (Parental Consent)

Under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, individuals under the age of 18 are deemed minors and are not legally competent to enter into independent binding contracts:

  • K-12 Students Under 18: If you are under 18 years of age, you may access and use MyTextbookAI solely under the direct supervision, consent, and authorization of a parent or lawful legal guardian.
  • Parent / Guardian Responsibility: By permitting a minor to use the Platform, the parent or guardian agrees to be bound by these Terms and accepts full responsibility for the minor's conduct, subscription purchases, and compliance.

2. Scope of Educational Services

MyTextbookAI provides an artificial intelligence-powered study companion designed to supplement student learning for school syllabi (including CBSE, ICSE, GSEB, and State Boards):

  • Textbook-grounded chat and voice Q&A referencing official chapters and topics.
  • LaTeX-rendered mathematical proofs, formulas, and scientific explanations.
  • 5-minute quick revision sheets, formula reference summaries, and 10-question MCQ diagnostic quizzes.
  • Multilingual voice assistance and audio explanations in English, Hindi, and Gujarati.

3. Account Registration & Security

To access personalized textbooks and study tools, you must authenticate through authorized login methods (such as Google OAuth or verified phone login):

  • You agree to provide true, current, and accurate academic profile details (board, standard, medium, school).
  • You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and devices.
  • You agree to notify us immediately at mytextbookai@gmail.com if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account.

4. Acceptable Use & Student Code of Conduct

You agree to use MyTextbookAI exclusively for genuine personal educational and academic preparation. You strictly agree NOT to:

  • Use the Platform during live school examinations or proctored tests where outside aids are explicitly prohibited.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, spider, or systematically extract data, textbook indexes, or underlying AI logic from the Platform.
  • Upload, transmit, or solicit harmful, abusive, unlawful, harassing, obscene, or defamatory content.
  • Attempt to circumvent rate limits, security mechanisms, token restrictions, or authentication controls.
  • Share account credentials or resell platform access to third parties for commercial gain.

5. AI Educational Content & Academic Disclaimer

While MyTextbookAI utilizes curriculum-locked multi-modal AI to cite specific textbook pages and lines:

  • Educational Supplement Only: The Platform is intended as an interactive supplementary tutor. It does not replace school teachers, classroom instruction, or official textbooks issued by examination boards.
  • Independent Verification: Students and parents are advised to verify critical answers against their prescribed school board textbooks and syllabi before submitting formal board examinations.
  • No Guarantee of Marks: MyTextbookAI does not guarantee specific examination scores, school ranks, or academic results.

6. Subscriptions, Payments & Refund Policy

Access to premium features, extended voice calls, and unlimited textbook chats is offered via subscription plans:

  • Pricing & Invoicing: All subscription fees are stated in Indian Rupees (INR) or equivalent international currency and are inclusive of applicable statutory taxes (such as GST), where required.
  • RBI-Compliant Payment Gateways: Payments are processed securely via authorized third-party payment gateways (e.g., Cashfree). We do not store sensitive credit/debit card numbers or UPI MPINs on our servers.
  • Free Tier & Paid Upgrades: Users can utilize free trial queries every month before choosing to upgrade to an active billing plan.
  • Refund Policy: Due to the digital and instant nature of AI inference consumption, subscription fees are generally non-refundable once activated, except where required under Indian consumer protection regulations or in cases of proven double-billing errors.

7. Intellectual Property Rights & Textbook Copyright

We respect the intellectual property of educational publishers, authors, and regulatory bodies:

  • Textbook Trademarks & Curricula: All textbook titles, syllabi, and curricular trademarks (e.g., NCERT, CBSE, ICSE, GSEB) remain the property of their respective statutory bodies, councils, and publishers. References made on this Platform are solely for fair academic study, identification, and curriculum alignment.
