Legal
Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of intoola, including the intoola Chrome extension, related websites, Cloudflare Worker services, subscription and billing flows, AI generation features, saved/shared materials features, and any related support or operational services (collectively, the "Service"). "intoola," "we," "our," and "us" refer to INTOOLA LLC, a New York limited liability company and the operator of intoola. "You" and "your" refer to the person who installs, accesses, or uses the Service.
Please read these Terms carefully. By installing, accessing, purchasing, subscribing to, or using intoola, you agree to these Terms and to intoola's Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree, do not use intoola.
1. Eligibility
You may use intoola only if you are legally able to agree to these Terms and if your use is permitted by applicable law, your school or institution's rules, your learning management system's rules, and any third-party terms that apply to the services intoola connects with.
Because intoola uses Google Gemini API services, you must also satisfy the eligibility requirements that apply to those services. You may not use intoola if you are prohibited from using Google Gemini API, Stripe, Chrome extensions, Canvas, Brightspace, Google Classroom, or any other integrated service in your location or under the applicable third-party terms.
You are solely responsible for any activity that takes place under your Chrome profile, Google account, or subscription. If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account, notify us immediately at the contact address in Section 22. It is your responsibility to maintain the security of your Chrome profile, Google account, and any device used to access the Service.
2. What intoola Does
intoola helps students and authorized users turn selected course materials into study aids such as flashcards, study notes, practice questions, explanations, chat responses, lecture notes, and related learning materials. intoola may connect to Canvas, Brightspace, Google Classroom, Google Gemini, Firebase, Stripe, Chrome APIs, and other services needed to provide the Service.
intoola is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected to Instructure, Canvas, D2L, Brightspace, Google Classroom, Google, Stripe, any school, university, instructor, or educational institution unless we expressly state otherwise in writing.
3. Changes to the Service; Beta Features
intoola reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service or any part of it, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice. You agree that intoola will not be liable to you or any third party for any such modification, suspension, or discontinuance.
If we label a feature "beta," "early access," "experimental," or similar, that feature is provided for testing and feedback, may be incomplete or unreliable, and may be changed or removed without notice. Beta features are provided on an "as is" basis in addition to, not instead of, the disclaimers in Section 16.
4. Your Responsibility for Course Content
You are solely responsible for the course content, files, screenshots, lecture transcripts, prompts, notes, and other materials you select, upload, paste, record, transmit, process, save, share, or otherwise use with intoola ("User Content").
By using intoola with any User Content, you represent and agree that:
- You own the User Content or have all rights, licenses, consents, and permissions necessary to access it, use it with intoola, submit it to third-party AI services for processing, and receive AI-generated outputs from it.
- You are authorized to access the LMS account, course, classroom, files, pages, assignments, modules, recordings, discussions, or other materials you use with intoola.
- Your use of intoola with the User Content does not violate copyright law, privacy law, your school's policies, your instructor's rules, an LMS provider's terms, or any confidentiality, academic, contractual, or institutional restriction.
- You will not use intoola to access another person's account, scrape institutional data, bypass access controls, redistribute restricted course materials, or process materials marked confidential, embargoed, proprietary, private, or otherwise restricted from external processing.
- If you use recording or transcription features, you have all legally required consent from instructors, speakers, classmates, meeting participants, and any other affected people before recording, transcribing, summarizing, or processing the content.
intoola does not independently verify that you have permission to use course content. If you are unsure whether you may use specific materials with intoola, do not submit them until you have permission. You must not create an intoola account or first-open record under any false or fraudulent pretenses, including by automated means, and you must not impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with any school or institution.
5. License You Grant to intoola
You retain whatever rights you have in your User Content. intoola does not claim ownership of your User Content. You grant intoola a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to access, transmit, process, format, display, and otherwise use User Content only as necessary to provide, secure, maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the Service, as described in these Terms and the Privacy Policy.
This license includes permission for intoola to transmit selected User Content and prompts to Google Gemini or another AI provider used by intoola to generate study materials, and to disclose User Content where necessary to comply with law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of intoola, its users, or the public. This license terminates when your User Content is deleted from the Service, except to the extent retention is required for backups, legal compliance, or the other purposes described in the Privacy Policy.
6. AI Processing and Third-Party Services
intoola uses third-party services, including Google Gemini, to process prompts and selected materials. Your use of those features is subject to the third-party terms and privacy policies that apply to those services.
AI-generated outputs can be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, offensive, outdated, non-unique, or inappropriate for your specific course or assignment, and similar or identical outputs may be generated for other users from similar inputs. You are responsible for reviewing outputs and comparing them against official course materials, instructor guidance, and reliable sources before relying on them.
intoola does not guarantee grades, test scores, academic performance, learning outcomes, admission outcomes, employment outcomes, or any other result.
7. Academic Integrity
intoola is a study aid. You agree not to use intoola to cheat, plagiarize, impersonate another person, complete graded work dishonestly, bypass proctoring or assessment rules, violate academic integrity policies, or use AI-generated content in a way your instructor or institution prohibits.
You are solely responsible for understanding and following your school, course, instructor, department, employer, and institution rules about AI tools, collaboration, recordings, citations, and submitted work.
8. Usage Limits and Fair Use
intoola may apply usage limits, rate limits, token limits, file-size limits, request-size limits, feature limits, free-trial limits, anti-abuse checks, and other technical or operational restrictions. These limits help keep the Service reliable, affordable, and available.
Unless a different limit is shown in the product or agreed by intoola in writing, each user is limited to 50,000 total AI tokens per day. This daily token limit may include prompt tokens, selected file or context tokens, cached-context tokens, output tokens, and other token usage reported by the applicable AI provider or measured by intoola's systems. Daily limits reset according to intoola's server-side usage systems and may not match your local time zone exactly.
intoola may count usage by Chrome profile email, account identifier, install identifier, Stripe customer, IP address, subscription record, device, or other operational signals. intoola may block, throttle, suspend, or terminate use that exceeds limits, appears abusive, attempts to evade limits, or threatens the reliability or cost structure of the Service.
Published usage limits are not guaranteed entitlements. intoola may modify limits, add limits, reduce limits, or temporarily disable features at any time to address cost, security, capacity, abuse, reliability, legal, or product concerns.
9. Free Access, Trials, Subscriptions, and Billing
intoola may offer free access, free trials, paid subscriptions, promotional access, coupons, referral credits, or other purchase options. Free access and trials may be limited by number of generations, tokens, features, time, email, device, Chrome profile, install, or other anti-abuse signals.
Paid subscriptions are processed by Stripe or another payment provider. intoola does not store your full payment card number. Billing, payment methods, invoices, renewals, cancellations, and payment-provider data handling may be subject to Stripe's terms and privacy policy.
Unless otherwise stated at checkout:
- Subscription fees are charged in advance, in U.S. dollars, and any applicable taxes are added as required.
- Subscriptions renew automatically for the selected billing period until canceled.
- You are responsible for canceling before renewal if you do not want to continue.
- We may correct pricing or billing errors, even if we have already requested or received payment, and may change prices for future billing periods with any notice required by applicable law; a price change does not authorize us to retroactively change a charge you already paid.
- Loss of access, failed payment, cancellation, chargeback, refund, abuse, or violation of these Terms may affect your ability to use paid features.
Refunds, if any, are provided at intoola's discretion unless required by law or expressly stated in a written refund policy. If you are unsatisfied with the Service, contact us at the address in Section 22.
10. Privacy and Data Handling
intoola's Privacy Policy explains what information intoola collects, uses, stores, transmits, and shares. By using intoola, you agree that intoola may process information as described in the Privacy Policy.
Prompts and selected materials are transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections, but intoola does not provide end-to-end encryption for AI processing. intoola's Worker and the applicable AI provider must be able to read prompts and selected materials to process requests.
Do not submit sensitive personal information, protected health information, financial information, government identifiers, confidential institutional records, or other highly sensitive materials unless you have the right to do so and are comfortable with the processing described in these Terms and the Privacy Policy.
11. Saved and Shared Materials
intoola may allow you to save, rename, delete, import, or share generated materials. You are responsible for what you save or share and for ensuring you have permission to share any underlying content or derivative study materials.
Sharing features may create share codes, access records, metadata, or stored generated materials. Do not share materials that reveal private, confidential, copyrighted, restricted, or personally identifying information unless you have permission and the sharing is lawful. No storage system is guaranteed against loss; you are responsible for maintaining any copies or backups you need.
12. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use intoola for any unlawful, harmful, abusive, deceptive, infringing, or unauthorized purpose.
- Violate academic integrity rules or help others do so.
- Upload or process content you are not authorized to use.
- Circumvent usage limits, paywalls, security checks, subscription checks, rate limits, or access controls.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, tamper with, overload, scrape, resell, sublicense, or interfere with intoola or its infrastructure, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction.
- Transmit any virus, worm, defect, Trojan horse, or other item or computer code of a destructive nature, or otherwise designed to interrupt or limit the functionality of any computer software, hardware, or infrastructure used to provide the Service.
- Use automated means, including bots, scrapers, or crawlers, to access, query, or collect data through the Service beyond its supported features.
- Impersonate another person or entity, misrepresent your affiliation with any school or institution, or create an account under false or fraudulent pretenses.
- Use intoola to generate malware, harassment, threats, hate, sexual content involving minors, illegal instructions, or other prohibited content.
- Submit content that violates third-party rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, copyright, trademark, trade secret law, school policy, or any applicable terms.
intoola may investigate suspected violations and restrict, suspend, or terminate access to protect users, third parties, intoola, or its infrastructure, as described in Section 15.
13. Intellectual Property
intoola, including its name, logo, code, design, interface, workflows, documentation, and related materials, is owned by intoola or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer ownership of intoola to you. intoola and any party that licenses intellectual property to intoola retain all rights in that intellectual property, and no rights are transferred or assigned to you except as expressly stated in these Terms.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, intoola grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for personal educational study purposes or other purposes expressly allowed by intoola. Except as expressly permitted by this license or by applicable law notwithstanding this restriction, you may not copy, modify, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or create derivative works based on the Service, in whole or in part, or reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service, or use it to build a competing product or dataset.
You may not co-brand or frame intoola, or use any means of attribution suggesting that another party has the right to display, publish, or distribute intoola or any content accessible within it, without intoola's prior written permission, and you agree to cease any unauthorized co-branding or framing immediately upon notice from intoola.
14. Copyright and Intellectual Property Infringement Notices
intoola respects the intellectual property of others and expects the same of its users. If you believe that material accessible through the Service infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, please send a written notice to info@intoola.com that includes:
- an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest;
- a description of the material you claim is infringing and, where possible, its location within the Service;
- your name, address, telephone number, and email address;
- a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law; and
- a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information is accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
intoola may, in its discretion, remove or disable access to material identified in a valid notice and may suspend or terminate the accounts of users who are found to infringe the rights of others.
15. Suspension and Termination
intoola may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, as described in Section 3. intoola may suspend or terminate your access if we believe you violated these Terms, created risk, caused harm, exceeded usage limits, attempted to bypass controls, or used the Service in a way that could expose intoola, users, schools, third parties, or infrastructure to legal, security, financial, or operational risk. You agree that any such suspension or termination is in intoola's reasonable discretion and that intoola will not be liable to you or any third party for it.
You may stop using intoola at any time by uninstalling the extension and canceling any active subscription. On termination, your license to use the Service ends and any payment obligations already accrued remain due. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including User Content licenses already granted, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and any other provision that by its nature should survive — survive termination.
16. Disclaimers
YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INTOOLA IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. INTOOLA DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
INTOOLA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, COMPATIBLE WITH EVERY SCHOOL OR LMS, FREE OF BUGS OR VIRUSES, ACCEPTED BY YOUR INSTITUTION, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR ACADEMIC OR PROFESSIONAL PURPOSE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SERVICE AND ITS CONTENT MAY INCLUDE TECHNICAL INACCURACIES OR TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS, AND THAT INTOOLA MAY MAKE CHANGES OR IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SERVICE AT ANY TIME. INTOOLA MAKES NO WARRANTY REGARDING THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR RESULTS OF ANY AI-GENERATED OUTPUT, AND ASSUMES NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE.
17. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INTOOLA, INCLUDING ITS AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS, AND DIRECTORS, WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, OR FOR ACADEMIC, DISCIPLINARY, PROFESSIONAL, FINANCIAL, REPUTATIONAL, DATA-LOSS, OR BUSINESS CONSEQUENCES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF INTOOLA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR SUCH DAMAGES WERE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, INTOOLA'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID INTOOLA FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE THREE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) 50 DOLLARS.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of these limits may not apply to you. Any claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to your use of the Service or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arose, or it will be permanently barred, except where applicable law requires a longer period.
18. Indemnification
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless intoola and its affiliates, licensors, service providers, employees, agents, officers, and directors (the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from or related to your User Content, your use of intoola, your violation of these Terms, your violation of law or school policy, or your violation of third-party rights. The Indemnified Parties will have no liability in connection with any such breach or unauthorized use, and intoola reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you.
19. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to intoola or these Terms, are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise. You agree to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York, for any dispute that is not resolved informally, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. These Terms do not include an arbitration agreement or class-action waiver.
20. General Provisions
Feedback. If you send ideas, suggestions, bug reports, or other feedback, you grant intoola a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license to use that feedback for any purpose, without attribution or compensation to you. Feedback is not treated as confidential unless intoola separately agrees in writing.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent; intoola may assign them as part of a reorganization, financing, merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to applicable law.
Severability. If a provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the parties' intentions as reflected in that provision will be given effect to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
Waiver. The failure of intoola to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver of these Terms by intoola must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of intoola to be effective.
Force majeure. intoola is not liable for a failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including provider outages, internet or infrastructure failures, natural disasters, or governmental action.
No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not create any right for a person or entity that is not a party to them.
Relationship of the parties. intoola and you are independent parties. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship, and neither party has authority to bind the other.
Electronic communications. You consent to receive communications from intoola electronically, including by email and through the Service, and agree that such communications satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing.
Interpretation; entire agreement. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any checkout disclosures form the entire agreement between you and intoola concerning the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral, or written, between you and intoola with respect to the Service.
21. Changes to These Terms
intoola may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date and may provide notice through the Service, Chrome Web Store listing, website, or another reasonable method. Your continued use of intoola after changes become effective means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you should stop using intoola.
