These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and Frisco Educational Ventures LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the ScholarTree application, website, and all related services (collectively, the "Service").

1. Eligibility and Acceptance

1.1 Age Requirements. The Service is intended for use by students, parents, guardians, teachers, schools, and educational administrators. If you are under 18 years of age, you represent and warrant that your parent, legal guardian, or school administrator has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. Children under 13 may only use the Service through managed accounts created by a parent, legal guardian, or school with verifiable parental or school consent as required by applicable law.

1.2 Authority. If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a school, school district, educational institution, or other organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and "you" and "your" shall refer to that entity.

1.3 Acceptance. By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree, you must immediately cease use of the Service.

2. Description of Service

ScholarTree is an AI-powered educational platform that provides tutoring, study materials, flashcards, quizzes, reading comprehension tools, writing assistance, and other learning tools for students. The Service also provides monitoring, management, and analytics tools for parents, teachers, and schools. The AI tutor is designed to assist with learning and is a supplementary educational tool. IT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTION, LICENSED TUTORING, OR QUALIFIED EDUCATIONAL GUIDANCE.

6. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

6.1 No Guarantee of Accuracy. The Service uses artificial intelligence, including third-party AI models, to provide tutoring assistance and generate educational content. AI-GENERATED RESPONSES MAY CONTAIN ERRORS, INACCURACIES, OMISSIONS, OR BIASES. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or suitability of any AI-generated content.

6.2 Not Professional Advice. AI-generated content does not constitute professional educational advice, medical advice, psychological advice, or any other form of professional advice. The Service should not be relied upon as the sole source of educational guidance.

6.3 No Guaranteed Outcomes. We make no representations or warranties regarding academic outcomes, test scores, grades, or any other educational results from using the Service. Individual results will vary.

6.4 User Responsibility. You are solely responsible for evaluating and verifying the accuracy and appropriateness of any AI-generated content before relying on it.

7. Intellectual Property

7.1 Our Property. The Service, including but not limited to all software, code, algorithms, text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio, video, data compilations, user interfaces, and the overall design and "look and feel" of the Service, is owned by the Company or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, or interest in the Service except the limited license to use it as expressly set forth herein.

7.2 Limited License. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial educational purposes (or for organizational educational purposes if you are a school or institution).

7.3 Your Content. You retain ownership of original content you create using the Service ("User Content"). By submitting User Content, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, and display it for the sole purpose of operating and providing the Service to you — for example, showing your work back to you, to a linked parent or guardian, or to a teacher whose class you are enrolled in. This license lasts only as long as we hold the content: it ends when you delete the content or your account. We do not use User Content to train AI models, and we do not publish, distribute, or use it to promote the Service.

7.4 Feedback. If you provide us with suggestions, ideas, feedback, or recommendations regarding the Service ("Feedback"), you assign to us all right, title, and interest in and to such Feedback, and we may use it without any restriction or compensation to you.

8. Children's Online Privacy Protection (COPPA)

The Service is designed for students ages 9 and up, including children ages 9 through 12. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") and other applicable children's privacy laws. For children under 13:

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or relating to:

13. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

13.1 Informal Resolution. Before initiating any formal dispute resolution proceeding, you agree to first contact us at legal@scholartree.app and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least sixty (60) days.

13.2 Binding Arbitration. If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (each, a "Dispute") shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in Collin County, Texas, or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

13.3 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's intellectual property rights or confidential information.

14. Class Action Waiver

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, BOTH YOU AND THE COMPANY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. You acknowledge and agree that you are waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, or representative proceeding.

15. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Subject to the arbitration agreement above, any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms that is not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Collin County, Texas, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

16. Termination

16.1 By You. You may delete your account at any time through the account settings in the Service. Termination of your account does not relieve you of any obligations accrued prior to termination, including any payment obligations.

18.2 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.
