StudyBuddy Terms of UseStudyBuddy Kullanım Koşulları

English

1. The service

StudyBuddy is a real-time multiplayer study-room web application. It lets people create or join rooms, run synchronized study timers, chat, manage shared tasks, and view study statistics when signed in. The service is independently operated and is not currently operated by a registered company.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You may use StudyBuddy only if you can lawfully agree to these terms and are old enough under the law that applies to you. The service is not directed to children who require a parent or guardian's consent. You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. By registering, you confirm that you meet this minimum age requirement. Keep account credentials and recovery access secure, and provide accurate information when creating an account.

Guests are first-class users. No account is required to create or join a room, use the timer, chat, or shared tasks. Guest access is subject to the same room rules, safety controls, rate limits, and moderation as account access.

3. Acceptable use

You must use the service lawfully and respectfully. You must not:

• harass, threaten, stalk, impersonate, discriminate against, or target another person;
• send spam, scams, malware, illegal material, or unsolicited commercial content;
• use bots, scripts, scraping, automation, or bulk requests to abuse, enumerate, or overload the service;
• probe, bypass, or weaken authentication, rate limits, moderation, room capacity, or other security controls;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code or secrets of the service, except where applicable law expressly permits it;
• launch or assist a denial-of-service attack, interfere with Firebase/Vercel/Cloudinary/other providers, or disrupt another user's room; or
• use the service to violate privacy, intellectual-property, export, sanctions, or other applicable laws.

4. User content and room content

You keep ownership of content you submit, including chat messages, task text, room names, profile information, and images. You grant StudyBuddy a limited, non-exclusive licence to host, reproduce, transmit, and display that content only as needed to operate, secure, moderate, and improve the service. Do not submit content you do not have the right to share.

Room content can be visible to other room members and may be copied by them. You are responsible for what you publish. StudyBuddy may hide, delete, or restrict content that violates these terms, creates a safety or legal risk, or is reported through the service. Automated moderation is limited; reports may be reviewed by the operator.

5. Moderation, suspension, and termination

We may limit a room, remove content, suspend or terminate an account, or block access where necessary to protect users, investigate abuse, comply with law, or enforce these terms. We may also close inactive rooms through automatic cleanup. We may act without advance notice where delay would create risk. You may stop using the service at any time and may delete a signed-in account through Profile where that feature is available.

6. Pro status and payments

Pro sales are not open yet and PRO_ENABLED remains false. The planned prices are Monthly at $1.99, Yearly at $12.99, and Lifetime at $29.99. Prices exclude sales tax and VAT; where they apply, Lemon Squeezy adds them at checkout and shows the total before you pay. A waitlist entry, interface label, test checkout, or future feature reference is not a purchase or promise of access. These purchase terms apply once StudyBuddy opens Pro sales.

Lemon Squeezy is the merchant of record for Pro purchases. It processes the payment, issues the invoice or receipt, and handles payment-related refunds and chargebacks. StudyBuddy does not receive card details. Every Pro purchase, including Lifetime, has an unconditional 14-day refund window. Use the link in the Lemon Squeezy receipt or contact StudyBuddy support to request a refund.

Losing or ending Pro access does not delete study sessions, task history, presets, or other study data. A Pro-only view or control may become unavailable, but the underlying study data remains unless it is deleted under the account-deletion rules.

7. Availability and changes

StudyBuddy is provided as an evolving service. Features, room limits, providers, integrations, or availability may change, be paused, or stop at any time. We do not promise that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure against every threat, or available for any particular period.

8. Disclaimer

The service is provided “as is” and “as available” to the extent permitted by law. StudyBuddy is a productivity tool, not a medical, educational, legal, employment, or emergency service. Timer, statistics, ranking, message, and task data may be delayed, lost, inaccurate, or removed during maintenance, outages, cleanup, or moderation.

9. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the operator is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or loss-of-data damages arising from use of or inability to use the service. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited, including liability for intentional misconduct or mandatory consumer rights.

10. Contact and governing law

Contact partner.studybuddy@gmail.com for questions or reports. These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections or jurisdictional rights that apply to you.

11. Changes to these terms

Material changes will be published on this page with a new effective date. Your continued use after that date means the updated terms apply. If a change is not acceptable, stop using the service.

12. Copyright notices and removal (DMCA)

If you believe that content hosted in a StudyBuddy room infringes your copyright, send a notice to partner.studybuddy@gmail.com. Your notice should identify the copyrighted work, identify the material you believe is infringing and where it appears, provide your contact details, include a good-faith statement that the use is not authorised, include a statement that the information is accurate and that you are authorised to act for the rightsholder, and include your signature.

We may review a complete notice and restrict or remove the reported material where appropriate. Repeat infringers may have their accounts suspended or terminated under these terms. If your material was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake, you may send a counter-notice to the same address with your identifying and contact information, the removed material and its former location, your good-faith statement that the removal was mistaken, and your signature.
