If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Service.
2. Eligibility and Account Access
The Service is licensed to educational institutions for use by their enrolled students, teachers, and authorized staff. Access requires a valid school-issued Google account. Individuals may not self-register; accounts are provisioned by authorized school administrators or teachers through the platform's invitation system.
3. Permitted Use
Users may access Vexlore Companion solely for lawful educational purposes. Prohibited uses include: (a) submitting work generated by the Service as entirely your own without proper disclosure where required by your institution's academic integrity policy; (b) attempting to circumvent, reverse-engineer, or abuse the AI tools; (c) uploading unlawful, harmful, or personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary for educational use; (d) sharing account credentials with unauthorized individuals.
4. Institutional License
Vexlore Companion is licensed to educational institutions on a per-school or per-district basis under a separate written agreement. The Service may not be sublicensed, resold, or transferred. Access is limited to the institution's own students and staff during the term of the agreement.
5. AI-Generated Content
The Service uses artificial intelligence (Anthropic Claude) to generate educational assistance. AI-generated content is provided as a learning tool and may contain errors. Users are responsible for verifying the accuracy of AI responses. Vexlore makes no guarantee that AI outputs are factually correct, complete, or suitable for submission as academic work.
6. Student Data and FERPA
Vexlore operates as a "school official" under FERPA on behalf of the contracting institution. Student data is used solely to provide the educational services described herein. We do not sell, share, or use student data for advertising. Parents and eligible students may exercise FERPA rights through their institution. See our Privacy Notice for full details.
7. COPPA
For students under 13, the institution (not the student or parent) provides consent for the collection of information necessary to operate the Service. The institution is responsible for obtaining any required parental consent under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) before enrolling students under 13.
8. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its code, design, and branding, is the property of Vexlore and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Users retain ownership of content they create using the Service. By using the Service, users grant Vexlore a limited license to process submitted content solely to provide the requested AI assistance.

10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VEXLORE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOUR INSTITUTION FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
11. Termination
We may suspend or terminate access to the Service at any time for violation of these Terms, non-payment, or as required by law. Institutions may terminate their agreement per the terms of their written contract. Upon termination, your right to access the Service ceases immediately.
