  • Export of notes in multiple formats (Markdown, HTML, audio)
  • Built-in accessibility profiles for diverse user needs

3. User Accounts

To use the Service, you must create an account using a valid email address or through your institution's single sign-on (SSO) system. You are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the security of your account credentials
  • All activity that occurs under your account
  • Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized access to your account

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes related to education and accessibility. You agree not to:

  • Upload content that you do not have the right to use or distribute
  • Upload content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, or otherwise objectionable
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other users' accounts or data

5. Content Ownership & License

5.1 Your Content

You retain all ownership rights to the lecture content you upload to the Service. By uploading content, you grant LectureAid a limited, non-exclusive license to process, store, and transform that content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you.

5.2 Generated Content

AI-generated transcripts, visual descriptions, and structured notes produced by the Service are provided to you for your use. You may export, share, and use these generated notes for educational purposes.

5.3 Institutional Content

For institutional accounts, all content uploaded and generated within the institution's account remains the property of the institution. Upon termination of the institutional agreement, we will return or destroy all institutional content as specified in the applicable Data Processing Agreement.

6. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

The Service uses artificial intelligence to generate transcripts, visual descriptions, and notes. While we strive for accuracy, AI-generated content may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. Specifically:

  • Transcripts may not perfectly capture all spoken words, especially with technical terminology, accents, or poor audio quality
  • Visual descriptions aim to convey the meaning of slides but may not capture every detail
  • Structured notes are AI-organized and should be verified against original lecture content

LectureAid is a supplementary study tool. It is not a substitute for attending lectures, official course materials, or accommodations provided by your institution's disability services office.

7. Service Availability

We strive to maintain high availability of the Service but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Processing times depend on lecture length, slide complexity, and server load. We may perform scheduled maintenance with advance notice when possible.

8. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and protect your data. For institutional accounts, data handling is further governed by the applicable Data Processing Agreement.

9. Termination

You may stop using the Service and request deletion of your account at any time by contacting us. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms or engage in activity that is harmful to the Service or other users.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. We will retain your data for a reasonable period to allow for data export, after which it will be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, LectureAid and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from or related to your use of the Service, including but not limited to damages for loss of data, academic outcomes, or interruption of service.

Our total aggregate liability for any claims arising from or related to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless LectureAid from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights.

12. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the courts of Los Angeles County, California.
