Terms of Service | LearnSpark

Welcome to LearnSpark.io! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the LearnSpark.io website, platform, and services (collectively, the "Service"), operated by LearnSpark Inc. ("LearnSpark", "we", "us", or "our").

Summary of key points

Free accounts: your account is locked when your free access ends and permanently deleted (with all data) if no plan is chosen within 30 days. No charge ever occurs without you selecting a plan.
Subscribing: your card is charged at purchase, at the price shown at checkout. Every new subscription is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee — see the Refund Policy.
See the Free Accounts and Billing section for full details, and Section 14 for affiliate / partner / API program terms.

You have the legal authority to enter into these Terms
You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations

2. Use of the Service

Transmitting obscene or offensive content

LearnSpark provides educational content and personalized learning recommendations. While we strive for accuracy, we:

Make no guarantee regarding the accuracy, completeness, or utility of educational content
Are not liable for any educational, academic, or learning outcomes
Recommend consulting with qualified educators for critical academic decisions

4. Intellectual Property

All content, features, and functionality of the Service (including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, images, and software) are the exclusive property of LearnSpark Inc. or its licensors. The Service is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.

5. User-Generated Content

Any content you submit, post, or display on the Service remains your property, but by submitting it, you grant LearnSpark a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, copy, modify, and distribute it for Service delivery and improvement purposes.

6. Free Accounts and Billing

LearnSpark accounts start free. The terms below describe free access and what happens when you subscribe. By ticking the "I agree to the Terms of Service" box at checkout (including in Stripe Checkout), you confirm you understand and accept the charge amount shown to you at checkout and the cancellation process described below.

6.1 Personal free accounts

No payment method is required and you will not be charged. When your free access ends, your account will be locked and you will not be able to use any LearnSpark features (including lesson generation, planning, student profiles, and uploaded materials) until you select a paid plan. If you do not select a paid plan within 30 days after your free access ends, your account and all associated data — including student profiles, lesson history, plans, and uploaded materials — will be permanently deleted. No automatic billing ever occurs under a free account; you will only be charged if you affirmatively select a paid plan and add a payment method.

6.2 Subscribing and billing

When you subscribe, you authorise LearnSpark to charge your payment method immediately, at purchase, at the price and billing interval shown at checkout (see our Pricing page for current rates). There is no card-on-file trial and no deferred first charge — your subscription starts, and your card is charged, on the day you subscribe. Every new subscription is covered by the First Five Lessons guarantee: a 30-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee on your first subscription payment; see Refund Policy §3.1 for how it works. You can cancel anytime in Settings → Billing.

6.3 Organization / agency billing

Organization / agency accounts are billed at the organization rate of $12 per active student per month, with a 10-student minimum, unless a different rate is agreed in writing for your organization. Billing details, thresholds, and any evaluation period for your organization are disclosed during organization onboarding. You can cancel anytime in Settings → Billing. Refund eligibility for organizations is described in our Refund & Cancellation Policy.

6.4 Partner / Developer API trials

Approved developers and partners may receive a scoped sandbox API key for evaluation. Sandbox keys are rate-limited and intended for testing only. Conversion to a paid API plan requires explicit upgrade through your developer account; sandbox trials do not auto-convert. API keys are revoked immediately on cancellation or termination. See /programs/developers for program details.

6.5 Renewal and cancellation (all paid plans)

Your subscription renews automatically at the same interval and price until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from Settings → Billing; cancellation is self-service (no need to contact support), takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and partial periods are not prorated. You will not be charged again after cancellation. Refund eligibility is described in our Refund & Cancellation Policy.

6.6 Currency and changes to pricing or features

All prices displayed on the Pricing page and elsewhere on the LearnSpark website are in U.S. Dollars (USD). We reserve the right to modify plan features, credit allocations, included usage limits, or pricing terms at any time. Any such changes will be communicated through our website or by email to registered users in advance of the next renewal. Continued use of LearnSpark following any such change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms; if you do not agree, you may cancel your subscription before the change takes effect as described in §6.5.

7. Lesson Recording & Participant Consent (Spark Insights)

LearnSpark includes an optional in-product feature called Spark Insights that allows the account holder to record a lesson so LearnSpark can generate educational feedback, mastery observations, and personalized next steps. Recording is always initiated by you; LearnSpark never records without you affirmatively starting a recording.

By starting a lesson recording, you represent and warrant that:

You have informed all participants in the lesson (including children, co-parents, tutors, and any other adults present) that the session will be audio-recorded and analyzed for educational feedback.
You have obtained any consent required under the laws of your jurisdiction, including in "all-party" or "two-party" consent regions where every participant to a recorded conversation must consent.
Where minors are present, you are their parent or legal guardian, or you have the parent's or legal guardian's authorization to record the session on their behalf.
You will use Spark Insights only for the educational purpose of the Service, and not to record individuals who have not been informed, to capture unrelated conversations, or to circumvent applicable recording, wiretap, or privacy laws.

How LearnSpark handles the resulting audio, transcript, and derived analysis notes — including the retention and deletion rules (the original audio is deleted immediately after it is transcribed, and the transcript is deleted once learning insights have been extracted, within 72 hours; only the derived insight notes are retained) — is described in Section 3.5 of our Privacy Policy.

You are solely responsible for the legality of any recording you initiate. To the fullest extent permitted by law, LearnSpark is not liable for your failure to obtain any required participant consent, or for any claim arising out of a recording you chose to start. LearnSpark may suspend or terminate access to Spark Insights or your account for misuse of this feature in violation of these Terms or our Acceptable Use Policy.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

Data Retention:

We retain your personal data and account information indefinitely while your account is active, to maintain your learning history, progress records, and account functionality.

Account Deletion and Data Deletion:

You may request deletion of your account at any time by contacting [email protected]
Upon receipt of a valid deletion request, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days
Some data may be retained longer if required by law or for legitimate business purposes
Anonymized data may be retained for analytics and service improvement

Data Processing Agreements:

We have Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with all third-party processors. These agreements are available upon request and define the terms under which your data is processed.

9. Termination

LearnSpark may terminate or suspend your account and access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including if you breach the Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease.

If LearnSpark terminates your account for a reason other than a breach of these Terms by you, you will receive a pro-rata refund for any unused portion of a pre-paid subscription period, in accordance with our Refund & Cancellation Policy.

If your account is terminated due to your breach of these Terms, no refund is payable except where required by applicable law (see Section 8 of our Refund & Cancellation Policy for statutory consumer rights by jurisdiction).

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, LearnSpark shall not be liable to you in relation to the contents of, or use of, or otherwise in connection with, this Service for any indirect, special, or consequential loss, or for any business losses, loss of revenue, income, profits, or anticipated savings.

11. Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in that state. This choice of law does not limit any mandatory statutory consumer rights you may have under the laws of your jurisdiction.

13.3 Developer / API Program

API keys are issued to a single developer or organization and are non-transferable. You are responsible for keeping keys confidential and for all activity under your keys.
Rate limits and scopes (sandbox vs. production) are enforced; circumventing or attempting to circumvent limits is grounds for immediate revocation.
You may not resell, redistribute, or expose raw model output from third-party AI providers as a standalone product, scrape the API to train competing models, or use the API in ways that violate the underlying providers' terms.
End users of any application built on the API must be presented with these Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Acceptable Use Policy.
We may suspend or revoke API access at any time for security, abuse, or policy reasons. Program details: /programs/developers.
