Welcome to ClassLecture.ai. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of our AI-powered lecture transcription and assistant service. By creating an account, uploading content, or using any part of our service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
Please read these Terms carefully before using ClassLecture.ai. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use our service.
By accessing or using ClassLecture.ai (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. These documents together constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and ClassLecture.ai ("we," "us," or "our").
Definitions:
If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
ClassLecture.ai is an AI-powered platform designed to help students and professionals manage, transcribe, and interact with educational content. Our Service includes:
We continuously update and improve the Service. Features may be added, modified, or removed at our discretion.
To use ClassLecture.ai, you must:
If you are under 18 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), you may only use the Service with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that provide false information about age, identity, or eligibility.
To use most features of ClassLecture.ai, you must create an account. When creating an account, you agree to:
You may only create one account per person. You may not share your account credentials with others or allow others to access your account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent usage quotas or free trial limits is prohibited and may result in termination of all your accounts.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account and password. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account credentials.
If you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account or any security breach, you must notify us immediately at khalid@classlecture.ai.
You retain all ownership rights to your User Content. This includes:
By uploading User Content to the Service, you grant ClassLecture.ai a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license solely as needed to provide the Service to you, including to:
This license is strictly limited to providing the Service to you. We do not:
You represent that you own the User Content you upload or that you have sufficient rights, licenses, permissions, or other legal authorization to upload it and to allow ClassLecture.ai to process it for your personal study use. You may not upload material that violates another person's intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other rights.
You are responsible for your uploaded materials. You are responsible for determining whether you are allowed to record lectures or other people, and for providing any legally required notice and obtaining any legally required recording consent. Recording laws and institutional rules vary. ClassLecture.ai does not determine whether a particular recording is lawful and does not provide legal advice.
Whether a particular use qualifies as fair use or another copyright exception depends on the facts of that use. Educational purpose alone does not automatically make a use lawful. ClassLecture.ai does not grant you permission to copy copyrighted works, and the Service is a private study workspace rather than a public repository of course materials.
You should only upload materials you are authorized to use. We may remove or restrict access to content we believe violates these rules, and we may restrict or terminate accounts of repeat infringers. We may also comply with valid copyright takedown requests. See our Copyright & DMCA Policy.
Important for Students: Some universities prohibit recording lectures without permission. You are responsible for complying with your institution's policies and obtaining any necessary consent from instructors before uploading lecture recordings.
Content generated by our AI (transcripts, summaries, chat responses) is provided to you for your personal use. While we generate this content using your User Content, the AI-generated output is created by our systems and you should verify its accuracy before relying on it.
You may delete your User Content at any time. Upon deletion, we will remove the content from our active systems within 30 days (backup copies may persist longer for disaster recovery purposes).
ClassLecture.ai and its licensors own all rights, title, and interest in and to:
You may not:
ClassLecture.ai, our logo, and any other product or service names or slogans displayed on the Service are trademarks of ClassLecture.ai and may not be used without permission.
If you provide us with feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Service, you grant us the right to use that feedback without any obligation to you.
You agree to use ClassLecture.ai only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree NOT to:
While ClassLecture.ai is designed to help you learn, you are responsible for using the Service in accordance with your institution's academic integrity policies. We do not endorse or encourage using AI-generated content to:
We reserve the right to investigate violations of these Terms and take appropriate action, including:
We are not obligated to monitor User Content but reserve the right to do so to enforce these Terms.
