By creating an account, subscribing to any plan, or otherwise using our service, you confirm that you: (a) are at least 13 years of age (users under 18 represent that they have obtained parental or guardian consent); (b) have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms; (c) agree to our Privacy Policy; and (d) are authorized to enter into this agreement on behalf of yourself or any organization you represent.

2. Description of Service

EduMate provides an AI-powered tutoring platform that offers real-time conversational tutoring in subjects including mathematics, English, physics, and chemistry. This service is a digital software-as-a-service (SaaS) product delivered over the internet.

This service uses third-party AI model providers. Our primary AI tutor is powered by DeepSeek. We also use the Creem Moderation API for content safety filtering of user input. Service performance and availability may be affected by these providers' operational status. Significant interruptions will be promptly communicated to users.

3. Account Registration

You must provide accurate, complete information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities under your account. If you discover unauthorized use, contact us immediately at security@edumate.ai.

You must be at least 13 years of age to use this service. Users under 18 confirm that they have obtained parental or guardian consent.

4. Subscription Plans

We offer subscription plans to access our service. Current plan details and pricing are available on our Pricing page. We reserve the right to modify plan features or introduce new plans at any time.

5. Billing and Payment

All payments are processed by our PCI-DSS compliant payment processor, Waffo Pancake. Payment card data is handled exclusively by Waffo Pancake and is not stored on our servers.

Automatic Renewal: By subscribing to a paid plan, you authorize EduMate to charge your payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel your subscription. Your subscription auto-renews at the end of each billing cycle unless canceled before the renewal date.

Prices are exclusive of applicable taxes (VAT, GST, sales tax, etc.). Tax amounts, if applicable, will be added at checkout.

6. Cancellation Policy

You may cancel your subscription at any time through:

  • Online (recommended): Account Settings → Subscription → Cancel Subscription

Cancellation takes effect immediately. You will receive a confirmation email within 10 minutes. Your subscription remains active until the end of the current billing period. No further charges will occur after cancellation.

Account data will be retained for 90 days after cancellation, then deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

7. Refund Policy

Due to the immediate delivery nature of our digital service, subscription fees are generally non-refundable, except in the following cases:

  • 7-Day Guarantee for New Subscribers: First-time subscribers may request a full refund within 7 days of first charge, provided usage does not exceed 20% of plan quota.
  • Duplicate Charges: Full refund for charges resulting from billing errors.
  • Verified Service Interruption: If service is interrupted for more than 72 consecutive hours due to our fault, a prorated refund or service credit will be provided.
  • Legal Rights: Statutory withdrawal or refund rights (such as EU/UK 14-day cooling-off period) are preserved where applicable.

Consumed AI credits and usage are non-refundable as the service has been delivered. To request a refund, contact refunds@edumate.ai with your account email, transaction ID, and reason for the request.

8. Billing Disputes
