Terms of Service

Last updated February 19, 2026

Welcome to Studeli!

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our website Studeli.com, our mobile application, and all related services (collectively, our "Services"). Studeli B.V. ("Studeli," "we," "us," or "our") is a company registered in the Netherlands, providing AI-powered educational technology services.

Who Can Use Our Services

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. If you're under 18, you'll need a parent or legal guardian to oversee your use of our Services. When you create an account, you agree to provide accurate information and keep it updated. You're responsible for maintaining the security of your account and everything that happens when your account is used.

Our Educational Platform

Our Services provide AI-powered educational tools for creating study materials — including study guides, summaries, practice questions, and flashcards — as well as an AI Tutor chatbot. You can organize your study materials into learning environments for easier management. We use advanced AI technology from providers including Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini), and OpenRouter to create educational content. You understand that AI-generated content is provided "as is" and should be used as a learning aid, not as a sole source of information.

While we strive for accuracy in all AI-generated content on our platform — including study guides, summaries, practice questions, flashcards, and AI Tutor responses — we cannot guarantee their complete accuracy or suitability for specific educational requirements. Users should verify and validate all AI-generated content before use in formal educational contexts.

The AI Tutor is a supplementary learning tool designed to assist with understanding study materials. It is not a replacement for professional instruction, academic advising, or certified tutoring services.

We offer both private and public learning spaces. When you create content on our platform, you control its visibility. Private content is only accessible to you, while public content can be viewed by other platform users.

File Uploads and Processing

Our platform allows you to upload files for AI-powered content generation. When uploading files:

  • Accepted file types include PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, TXT, CSV, ODT, ODP, ODS, and common image formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP)
  • Files can be processed via text extraction (content extracted from documents) or AI Vision (files analyzed visually by AI)
  • Storage space is allocated based on your subscription tier
  • You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to upload and process any files you submit
  • You must not upload files containing malware, viruses, or malicious code
  • You must not upload content that infringes on intellectual property rights or violates applicable laws
  • Uploaded files are stored securely and are only accessible by you
  • Additional file types may be uploaded for organizational and reference purposes
  • All files are permanently deleted when you delete your account

Plans and Payments

We offer different subscription tiers (Free, Standard, and Plus) to meet various needs. Each tier has specific features and usage limits. When you subscribe to a paid tier:

  • You'll be billed in advance (monthly or annually) through our payment providers
  • Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled
  • We may offer free trials of premium features
  • See our refund policy on how we handle refunds
  • We accept major credit cards and other payment methods as specified on our website
  • In select European countries, we offer one-time yearly payments through iDEAL (Netherlands) and Bancontact (Belgium) as alternatives to recurring subscriptions
  • One-time yearly payments grant access for 12 months from the date of purchase and do not auto-renew

Each subscription tier includes specific generation and usage limits for AI-powered features, including study material generation and AI Tutor usage. These limits help ensure fair usage and maintain service quality for all users. Higher-tier subscribers receive increased generation allowances and access to additional features. Usage limits are strictly enforced per subscription tier. Exceeding these limits may result in temporary service restrictions until the next billing cycle or upgrade to a higher tier. For current limits and features per tier, see our pricing page.

Our subscription tiers are designed for regular educational use. While daily and weekly generation limits define the maximum available usage, they are not intended as guaranteed daily allocations. We reserve the right to review accounts that consistently and systematically exhaust their full generation limits over extended periods, as this level of usage may exceed the sustainable capacity of the subscription tier. In such cases, we may reach out to discuss your usage needs, suggest a more appropriate plan, or, where necessary, apply reasonable usage restrictions. We will always provide notice before taking any action that affects your access.

AI Tutor

Our platform includes an AI Tutor chatbot that provides educational assistance based on your study materials. When using the AI Tutor:

  • The AI Tutor is available to Standard and Plus subscribers
  • Usage is subject to daily spending limits based on your subscription tier
  • Chat conversations can be saved, with storage limits based on your tier
  • The AI Tutor offers two modes: Guided (Socratic method) and Free (direct answers)
  • AI Tutor responses are generated by AI and may not always be accurate or complete
  • The AI Tutor is a supplementary learning tool and should not replace professional instruction or academic advising
  • You should verify information provided by the AI Tutor before relying on it for academic purposes

PDF Downloads

Our platform allows you to download PDF versions of your study materials, including study guides, summaries, flashcards, and practice questions. PDF downloads:

  • Are available for preview to all authenticated users
  • Are available for download based on your subscription tier
  • Are rate-limited to ensure fair usage
  • Are generated from your existing study material content
  • Are intended for personal educational use only
  • Should not be redistributed commercially without appropriate rights

Your Content and Our Content

When you use our Services, you'll interact with different types of content. We own our platform, including its design, code, and features. When you create content using our platform ("User Content"), including by uploading files or providing text input, you keep ownership of your original content but give us permission to host and display it as part of our services.

For AI-generated content (including study guides, summaries, flashcards, practice questions, and AI Tutor responses), we provide you a license to use it for educational purposes. While we strive for accuracy, you should review and verify any AI-generated content before relying on it.

Content generated from your uploaded files is derived from your original materials. You retain rights to your original uploaded content. The AI-generated derivative content is licensed to you for educational use under the same terms as other AI-generated content on our platform.

You agree to use our Services responsibly and legally. This means:

  • Using the platform for learning and educational purposes

We don't allow:

Our platform is available as a mobile application in addition to our website. The same Terms of Service apply to both:

  • Your account and subscription work across both web and mobile platforms
  • Push notifications require your explicit consent and can be disabled at any time through your device settings
  • Mobile-specific features are subject to the same usage limits as the web platform
  • Apple App Store and Google Play Store terms and conditions also apply when downloading our mobile application

Your Privacy and Data

We care about your privacy and handle your data responsibly. We store data securely and give you control over your content's visibility. While our servers are located in various countries including the Netherlands and United States, we protect your data according to applicable laws.

For educational data, we:

  • Keep your learning progress private
  • Let you control what you share
  • Use secure storage and transmission

See our privacy policy for more information.

Changes to Our Service

We're constantly improving our Services and may make changes over time. We may add or remove features, change pricing, or update these Terms. We may notify you about significant changes through our platform and, where possible, by email. If you continue using our Services after changes take effect, you agree to the updated terms.

For subscription changes, we'll give you advance notice of any price modifications. If you don't agree with the changes, you can cancel your subscription before they take effect.

Ending Use of Our Services

You can stop using our Services at any time. If you cancel a paid subscription, you'll still have access until the end of your billing period, but we don't provide refunds for partial periods.

We may also need to suspend or terminate accounts that:

  • Violate these Terms
  • Have unpaid fees
  • Show signs of fraudulent activity, including the content reasons specified below
  • Harm other users or our Services

Inactive Accounts

To maintain platform performance and comply with data minimization principles, we reserve the right to delete accounts that have been inactive for an extended period (12 months or more without any login activity). If we choose to do so, we will:
  • Send you an email notification at least 30 days before the scheduled deletion
  • Give you the opportunity to log in and reactivate your account

If you do not log in or respond within the notice period, your account and all associated data (including study materials, files, and chat conversations) will be permanently deleted. Financial records will be retained as required by law.

If your account is terminated, we'll only keep information we're legally required to maintain.

Content Violations and Removal

Besides terminating your account, we reserve the right to remove specific content from your account if:

  • It violates intellectual property rights or copyright laws
  • It contains inappropriate, harmful, or offensive material
  • It violates our academic integrity standards or promotes academic dishonesty
  • It contains malicious code or poses security risks
  • It's flagged through our review processes or brought to our attention by users
  • It's required by law or court order
  • It's being used to circumvent our platform's intended educational purposes
  • It violates the privacy or rights of other users

We strive to be fair and transparent in our content moderation decisions. If you believe content was removed in error, please contact us with details about your case.

Our Promises and Limitations

We work hard to provide reliable educational services, but we can't guarantee perfection. Our Services are provided "as is," and we're not responsible for:

  • Brief service interruptions
  • Inaccuracies in AI-generated content
  • Third-party services or content
  • Your educational outcomes
  • Loss of data if you don't back it up

If something goes wrong, our liability is limited to the amount you've paid us in the past 6 months. This doesn't apply to anything we can't legally limit under Dutch or your local laws.

Resolving Disagreements

If you have concerns about our Services, please contact us first. We strive to resolve issues amicably. If we can't resolve a dispute informally, it will be handled by the courts in the Netherlands, though we may bring proceedings in your country when necessary. These Terms are governed by Dutch law, but you retain any consumer protection rights under your local laws.

We'll try to resolve any disputes within 60 days of receiving written notice. During this time, we ask that you work with us before starting any legal proceedings.

Other Legal Points

These Terms represent our complete agreement about our Services. If any part of these Terms doesn't hold up in court, the rest remain valid. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to others (like if our company is acquired), but you need our permission to transfer yours.

If we don't immediately act on a violation of these Terms, that doesn't mean we're giving up our right to do so later.
