Terms of Service

Governing your use of Saya — the AI classroom peer student platform for K–12 educators, parents, and students.

§1

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Saya (“the Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. These terms apply to all teachers, parents, school administrators, and any other users who access the Service.

§2

Description of Service

Saya is an AI-powered classroom peer student designed for K–12 educational environments. The Service is accessed by credentialed teachers, parents, and students (where permitted by the teacher). Saya participates in live classroom sessions as a synthetic peer — not as a tutor, authority figure, or teacher replacement.

Saya's purpose is to increase cognitive depth, participation breadth, and pedagogical quality. It is a supplementary tool that always operates under teacher supervision.

§3

Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful educational purposes. You may not:

Produce, distribute, or store content that is illegal, harmful, or inappropriate for minors
Attempt to circumvent content guardrails, safety systems, or prompt restrictions built into the Service
Share login credentials with unauthorised parties
Reverse-engineer, scrape, or extract model weights, prompts, system instructions, or training data
Impersonate Saya or use the Service in ways designed to deceive end users
Use the Service in violation of applicable laws including FERPA, COPPA, GDPR, or local equivalents
§4

Accounts and Registration

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity occurring under your account. You agree to notify us immediately at support@saya-io.com of any unauthorised use of your account. Saya reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, at our sole discretion, with or without prior notice.

§6

Intellectual Property

All content generated by Saya during classroom sessions is provided to you under a non-exclusive, non-transferable licence for personal educational use. Saya retains no ownership over your session transcripts or the student contributions recorded therein.

The Saya platform — including its codebase, prompt architecture, personas, voice system, and user interface — remains the exclusive intellectual property of Saya Intelligence Systems. Reproduction or distribution of any platform component without written permission is strictly prohibited.

§7

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not guarantee that Saya's responses are factually accurate, pedagogically optimal, or appropriate for every cultural or curricular context. Teachers retain full professional responsibility for all classroom decisions. Saya is a supplementary tool — it is not a replacement for human educators.

§8

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Saya Intelligence Systems, its directors, employees, and licensors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service — including but not limited to loss of data, loss of revenue, reputational harm, or harm arising from AI-generated content. Our total aggregate liability in connection with the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

§9

Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. We will endeavour to notify registered users of material changes by email at least 14 days before they take effect.

§10

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation. For questions or formal legal correspondence, contact us at support@saya-io.com.

Monthly subscriptions

You may cancel at any time from your account settings. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period. We do not offer prorated refunds for partial months.
