Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Steepworks (the “Service”), including our first-party applications, you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Service. We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. For material updates, we will notify you via email or an in-product notice.

2. Description of Service

Steepworks provides AI-powered orchestration that manages workflows across our first-party and partner applications. Core capabilities include:

3. User Accounts

Creation

Provide accurate information (e.g., name, email, or OAuth credentials) when registering. You are responsible for maintaining account security and for all activity that occurs under your account.

Age Rules

If you are under 13 (or under 16 where applicable), you must obtain verifiable parental consent to use the Service. By registering, you confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement or have obtained the necessary permissions.

Management

Keep your account details current and notify us immediately of unauthorized use or security breaches.

4. Acceptable Use

Use the Service only for lawful, educational purposes. You agree not to:

• Cheat on assignments or violate academic integrity policies.
• Upload illegal, harmful, or offensive content.
• Attempt to hack, reverse-engineer, or disrupt the Service.
• Create fake accounts or impersonate others.
• Use the Service for commercial purposes without prior written consent.
• Violate any applicable laws or regulations.

We may monitor usage to enforce these rules and may suspend or terminate accounts for violations.

5. Academic Integrity

Steepworks is designed to support learning. Use AI-generated guidance responsibly, cite your sources, and comply with your institution’s policies. You remain accountable for how you apply the Service.

6. Content and Intellectual Property

Your Content

You retain ownership of materials you upload (e.g., assignments, notes). You grant Steepworks a limited license to process and store that content solely to provide and improve the Service.

Our Content

The Service, including logos, interfaces, and system outputs, is owned by or licensed to Steepworks and protected by intellectual property laws. Use it only as permitted by these Terms.

AI Content

AI-generated responses may contain inaccuracies or biases. Verify important information independently. We do not claim ownership of AI outputs, but you may not resell or misuse them.

7. Pricing and Payments

We offer free and paid plans. For paid subscriptions:

• Billing follows your selected cadence (e.g., monthly or annually).
• Payments are processed by secure third-party providers; we do not store full card details.
• You may cancel at any time; refunds follow our posted refund policy (pro-rated where applicable).
• We may change pricing with advance notice.

8. Disclaimers and Limitations

No Guarantees

The Service is provided “as is.” We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, accuracy, or specific results. AI systems can make mistakes; ultimate responsibility for outcomes rests with you.

Liability Cap

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Steepworks is not liable for indirect or consequential damages (including lost grades or data). Our aggregate liability is limited to the amounts you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Third Parties

We rely on third-party providers (e.g., AI model vendors). Their terms may apply to your use of related features.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Steepworks, its affiliates, and personnel harmless from claims or expenses arising from your misuse of the Service, violation of these Terms, or infringement of third-party rights.

10. Termination

You may close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for violations, suspected fraud, or other reasons. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends, but we may retain information as required by law.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Disputes will be resolved in California courts or through arbitration if mutually agreed.

12. Privacy

Refer to our Privacy Policy for details on how we collect, use, and protect personal data. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms.

13. Changes to Terms

We will post updates to these Terms with a revised “Last Updated” date. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-app notifications. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
