Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Lectly ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not use the Service. Lectly is operated by its founding team ("we," "our," or "us").

2. Description of Service

Lectly is an AI study tool for university students. You upload photos of notes, PDF or Word documents, or audio recordings of lectures, and Lectly turns each one into a study pack: notes, flashcards, quizzes, Learn Mode lessons, a tutor you can ask questions, Solve Mode for worked problems, PDF export, and a link for sharing a pack with classmates.

Lectly uses artificial intelligence to generate educational content. While we strive for accuracy, AI-generated content may contain errors, inaccuracies, or omissions. Lectly is a study aid and should not be used as the sole source of academic information. Always verify important information with your course materials, textbooks, and instructors.

3. Account Registration

To use Lectly, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate information during registration and to keep your account credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account and use Lectly.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use Lectly only for lawful educational purposes. You may not:

• Upload content that you do not have the right to share
• Use the Service to engage in academic dishonesty, plagiarism, or contract cheating
• Attempt to circumvent rate limits, usage restrictions, or security measures
• Use automated tools, bots, or scripts to access the Service in ways that exceed normal usage
• Upload content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, or otherwise objectionable
• Resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit Lectly's AI-generated content without permission
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the underlying AI systems or prompts

5. Content Ownership

Your Content

You keep ownership of everything you upload: photos, documents, recordings and the problems you give Solve Mode. By uploading, you give us permission to store and process that content, including sending it to the AI providers named in our Privacy Policy, only so we can provide the Service to you. If you share a pack, anyone with the link can read it until you turn sharing off or delete the pack.

AI-Generated Content

Notes, explanations, quiz questions, and other educational materials generated by Lectly's AI are provided for your personal educational use. You may use this content for your own studying. You may not commercially redistribute AI-generated content at scale.

6. Free Plan, Plus and Payments

The free plan includes 10 study packs in total, with every feature. Lectly Plus gives you 25 packs a month and is paid through Paystack as a one-off payment for a month or for a semester (five months). It does not renew by itself: when the period ends you go back to the free plan unless you pay again. Prices are shown in the app before you pay and may change for future purchases with reasonable notice.

Because packs are generated the moment you upload, payments are not refundable once the period has started, except where the law requires it or where Lectly was unable to provide the service you paid for. If you believe you were charged in error, email us and we will put it right.

We implement rate limiting to ensure fair usage across all users. Exceeding rate limits will result in temporary restrictions on your ability to use certain features.

7. AI Disclaimer

Lectly's AI features are designed to assist your learning, not replace it. Important disclaimers:

• AI-generated notes may not capture every detail from your lecture
• Quiz questions and answers are generated by AI and may occasionally contain errors
• The AI Tutor provides educational guidance but is not a substitute for your lecturers or course instructors
• Explanations and analogies are AI-generated and may not always be perfectly accurate
• Resource links suggested by the AI may not always be valid or current

Always cross-reference AI-generated content with your official course materials. We are not responsible for academic outcomes resulting from reliance on AI-generated content.

8. Service Availability

We strive to keep Lectly available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, server issues, or circumstances beyond our control. We are not liable for any loss or inconvenience caused by service downtime.

9. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms of Service, engage in abusive behavior, or use the Service in ways that negatively impact other users or our infrastructure.

You can delete your account at any time from Profile → Account → Delete account. Your uploaded files, packs, progress, tutor conversations and sign-in are removed permanently and straight away; this cannot be undone, and any remaining time on a paid plan is forfeited. Paystack keeps its own payment records as the law requires.

10. Limitation of Liability

Lectly is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to loss of data, academic outcomes, or service interruptions.

11. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the updated terms on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Continued use of Lectly after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
