Preliminary version, not in force
This text is a draft under legal review. It doesn't apply yet and will be replaced by the approved version before launch.
DRAFT — NOT FINAL. NOT LEGAL ADVICE. DO NOT PUBLISH. This is a structural starting point for counsel to review and complete, grounded in what the product actually does as of 2026-10-23. Every bracketed
[TODO]is a fact or legal judgment call only Hafid or counsel can supply. SeeREADME.mdin this folder for what each factual claim is based on in the real code.
Terms of Service (draft)
Last updated: [TODO — date of actual publication, not this draft]
1. Acceptance
By creating an account or using TutoLys, you agree to these terms. If you are creating or managing a child’s profile, you represent that you are that child’s parent or legal guardian, or a school acting within its own authority over its students — not the child themselves. A child does not, and cannot, agree to these terms directly: they never create their own account.
2. Accounts and eligibility
- Only an adult (18+) may create and hold an account. Household, solo-tutoring, and school account types exist; [TODO — confirm whether any additional eligibility/verification requirement applies to school accounts].
- You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity under your account.
- A child accesses the product only through a device explicitly paired to your account by a one-time code you generate and control — not by creating their own login.
3. Subscriptions and billing
- TutoLys offers [TODO — confirm current real tiers/pricing before publishing: as of this draft, Starter/Family/Premium, billed via Stripe]. Prices and features may change; we will [TODO — counsel to specify the notice period/method for price changes].
- Payment is processed by Stripe. We never receive or store your card details.
- [TODO — cancellation policy: effective date of cancellation, whether partial-period refunds are offered, trial terms if any.]
- Failure to pay may result in your plan being downgraded or suspended; [TODO — confirm what happens to a kid’s existing data if a plan lapses — today it is archived, not deleted, pending this policy decision].
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the product for any purpose other than a child’s own education.
- Attempt to access another family’s, tutor’s, or school’s data.
- Attempt to bypass or interfere with the product’s security, including its device-pairing mechanism.
- Upload, or cause to be transmitted through the product, any content that is unlawful, harmful to a child, or infringes another’s rights. [TODO — counsel to expand this into a full acceptable-use clause appropriate for a children’s product.]
5. Content and curriculum
Exercises and curriculum content presented in TutoLys are derived from Quebec’s official PFEQ curriculum documents (public ministry publications) and TutoLys’s own original exercise content. [TODO — counsel to confirm the correct attribution/licensing language for ministry-sourced curriculum material, and to state TutoLys’s own intellectual-property claim over its original exercises, mascot, and branding.]
6. Your content and data
Any content you or your organization submit (e.g., tutor notes) remains yours; you grant us only the license needed to operate the product for you. Your rights over your kid’s personal data are described in the Privacy Policy, including real access, export, and erasure mechanisms that exist in the product today.
7. Disclaimers and liability
[TODO — standard disclaimer-of-warranties and limitation-of-liability clauses; a children’s education product may carry different expectations than a general SaaS product, and counsel should tailor this rather than reuse boilerplate.]
8. Termination
You may close your account at any time. [TODO — counsel to specify our right to suspend/terminate for violation of these terms, and what happens to data on termination — today, closing an account archives rather than erases a kid’s profile unless erasure is separately requested; see Privacy Policy.]
9. Governing law
[TODO — confirm Quebec/Canada as governing law and the dispute-resolution mechanism (courts vs. arbitration) — this interacts with Law 25 and should be set by counsel, not assumed.]
10. Changes to these terms
[TODO — standard “we’ll notify you of material changes” clause.]
