Terms of service

1. The service

Study App converts documents you provide into audio and AI-generated study material. The service requires an internet connection for synthesis and AI features; downloaded audio can be played offline.

2. Accounts

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age in your country) and sign in with a Google account you control. You are responsible for activity on your account. You may delete your account at any time from the app or via our account deletion page.

3. Subscriptions and payment

• Study App is offered as monthly auto-renewing subscriptions: Standard ($9.99), Pro ($24.99) and Ultra ($49.99) per month; local prices may vary and are shown in the store before you confirm.
• In the iOS and Android apps, payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account at confirmation and at the start of each renewal period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends.
• You can manage or cancel an app-store subscription in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies.
• On the web app (https://studyapp.cognitivesquad.com/app), subscriptions are billed in Indian rupees by our payment processor Razorpay: Standard (₹899), Pro (₹2,199) and Ultra (₹4,399) per month. Razorpay charges your card, UPI or other method at confirmation and again at the start of each monthly period until you cancel; the plan is active only after the payment is confirmed to us by Razorpay.
• You can cancel a web subscription at any time from the Plan page of the web app. Cancellation stops future renewals and takes effect at the end of the current paid period; you keep the plan until then. Switching to another plan starts the new plan immediately and cancels the old one. Payments already made are not refunded for unused time, except for duplicate or erroneous charges or where the law requires it — write to contact@cognitivesquad.com and approved refunds are returned to the original payment method through Razorpay. A subscription bought in one store (Apple, Google or Razorpay) is managed and cancelled there.
• Each plan includes a monthly listening allowance (Standard 6 hours, Pro 18 hours, Ultra 12 hours plus 2.5 hours of Ultra voices; one hour is about 9,000 words) and a fair-use allowance of 200 AI actions. Time is counted when audio is first generated for a passage; replays and offline listening of already generated audio are free. Unused time does not roll over. We may adjust allowances with notice.

4. Your content

You keep all rights to the documents you import. You grant us a limited licence to store, process and transmit that content solely to provide the service to you, including sending relevant portions to our text-to-speech and AI providers. You are responsible for having the right to use any content you import.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the service to infringe copyright or other rights, or to distribute generated audio commercially without permission from the rights holder;
• attempt to bypass usage limits, security rules or subscription checks;
• reverse-engineer the app or use automated tools to access the service;
• upload malicious, illegal or abusive content.

6. AI-generated output

Summaries, quiz answers, podcast scripts, figure descriptions and assistant replies are generated automatically and may contain mistakes. They are study aids, not professional advice. Always verify important information against the original source.

7. Availability and changes

We work to keep the service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted operation. We may change, suspend or discontinue features, and will give reasonable notice of material changes that affect paid features.

8. Termination

You may stop using the app at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these terms. On termination your right to use the app ends; sections 4, 6, 9 and 10 survive.

9. Disclaimers and liability

The service is provided “as is”. To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all warranties and our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, and consumers keep their statutory rights.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of Bengaluru, Karnataka, unless local law gives you the right to bring claims elsewhere.
