Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using Glossary.dev (the “Service”), provided by Coovee Pty Ltd (ABN 25 686 831 327) (“Glossary,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. What Glossary is

Glossary is a personal learning tutor. It tracks what each learner already knows, quizzes them so it sticks, builds the foundations underneath, and keeps the record as a private learning glossary. It is organised into households, each with one account owner and one or more learner profiles, and is designed to be used by learners of any age, from young children to adults.

3. Eligibility and households

• You must be at least 18 years old to create an account and agree to these Terms.
• By creating an account you become the “account owner” for your household and are responsible for it, including every learner profile you create and all activity that occurs within it.
• You agree to provide accurate information and to keep your account secure. The Service uses trusted-device access within a household, so you are responsible for the devices on which your household is signed in.

4. Children and parental responsibility

• You are responsible for supervising children’s use of the Service and for the content they create through it.
• Children are not issued their own login credentials; they access their profile through your household on a trusted device.
• You can review, export, or delete any child profile and its data at any time.

5. Accounts and access

• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your sign-in and for all activity under your account.
• Notify us promptly at privacy@glossary.dev of any unauthorised use of your account.
• We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

6. Privacy and your data

Our collection, use, and protection of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy. We will only access your content to provide and improve the Service or as required by law, and we comply with applicable data protection laws including the Australian Privacy Act 1988.

7. Your content

• You own your content. You retain ownership of the terms, notes, answers, conversations, and other learning content you and your household create (“Your Content”). Your learning record is stored as portable, plain-text markdown.
• Licence to operate the Service. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to host, process, and transmit Your Content solely to provide the Service to you — which necessarily includes sending the relevant parts of it to the AI providers that power the tutor. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account.
• Your responsibility. You are responsible for Your Content and for ensuring you have the right to submit it, including any personal information about other people.

8. AI features and accuracy

• The Service is powered by third-party AI models. We currently use Google (Gemini) and xAI (Grok); we may add, change, or replace providers over time to use the model best suited to a task. The providers we rely on are listed in our Privacy Policy, which we keep current.
• AI output can be wrong. AI-generated explanations, answers, marking, and materials are provided without warranty of accuracy or completeness and may contain errors. You are responsible for reviewing and verifying anything that matters. The Service is an aid to learning, not a substitute for a qualified teacher, and is not professional, medical, legal, or financial advice.
• We do not use Your Content to train third-party foundation models.
• AI usage may be subject to fair-use limits to keep the Service running.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any illegal or unauthorised purpose, or violate any applicable law;
• Upload personal information about other people that you are not authorised to share;
• Submit unlawful, harmful, harassing, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable content;
• Transmit malicious code or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service or its systems;
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service, or attempt to circumvent its limits or security;
• Reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of the Service, except as permitted by law;
• Use automated systems to extract data from the Service without our permission, or otherwise abuse the AI features.

10. Third-party services and agents

• The Service relies on and integrates with third-party services (including Google for sign-in and AI, Supabase, xAI, and, if you connect it, Google Drive or Apple iCloud). Your use of those services is subject to their own terms, and we are not responsible for their availability or content.
• You may choose to connect an external AI tool that can read and update your learning record. You are responsible for any tools you authorise and for revoking that access when you no longer want it.

11. Fees and beta status

Glossary is currently provided free of charge as an early-stage beta. Features may change, break, or be removed as we develop the product. We may introduce paid plans in future; if we do, we will give you reasonable advance notice and you will not be charged for a paid feature without your agreement.

12. Availability and support

We aim to keep the Service available and reliable, but during beta it is provided on an “as available” basis without uptime guarantees, and your learning data, while important to us, may be affected by changes during this period. Support is offered on a best-effort basis by email at privacy@glossary.dev.

13. Intellectual property

• The Service and its original content, features, and design are protected by copyright and other laws. “Glossary,” “glossary.dev,” and associated marks are our property.
• Except for the limited licence in Section 7, nothing in these Terms transfers any of our intellectual property to you, and nothing transfers Your Content to us.

14. Disclaimer and Australian Consumer Law

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that AI output will be accurate.

For Australian consumers: our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law.

15. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, and subject to your non-excludable rights under the Australian Consumer Law, Glossary will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the Service. Where our liability cannot be excluded but can be limited, our liability is limited, at our option, to re-supplying the Service or paying the cost of having it re-supplied.

16. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify Glossary against claims brought by a third party to the extent they arise from your unlawful use of the Service, content you submit in breach of these Terms, your infringement of someone else’s rights, or your uploading of another person’s personal information without authority. Nothing in this clause limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, and it does not apply to the extent a claim is caused by us.

17. Termination

• You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from the app settings.
• We may suspend or terminate your access for breach of these Terms, and may discontinue the Service with reasonable notice.
• On termination your right to use the Service ends, and we will delete associated data as described in the Privacy Policy. Terms that by their nature should survive (such as ownership, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will continue to apply.

18. Changes to these terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. For material changes we will notify you in the app or by email. The current version is always available at glossary.dev/terms, and continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

19. Governing law and disputes

• These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales.
• Before starting legal proceedings, both parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute in good faith.
• Nothing in this section limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law or your ability to complain to the OAIC about privacy matters.

20. General

• These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
• If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest continue in effect.
• Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of it.
• You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them in connection with a reorganisation or sale of the business.
