Alatus Academy (the "Service") is provided by Alatus LLC ("Alatus," "we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not create an account or use the Service.
The Service is offered exclusively to parents and legal guardians who are at least 18 years of age and who are using the Service to support the home education of their own children or wards. There is no child-facing account, no student login, and no facility for a child to interact with the Service directly. You agree that you will not allow a child to use your account credentials.
The Service is intended for use only by residents of the United States. The Service is not offered to, and you may not access or register for the Service from, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland.
You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide, for maintaining the confidentiality of your password, and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately if you believe your account has been used without your permission.
The Service is offered on a paid subscription basis. A free trial period may be offered through our payment processor (Stripe) at signup; the length of any such trial is determined at our discretion and may change from time to time. Subscription pricing is presented at signup and managed through our payment processor. Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. You may cancel at any time from the in-app subscription portal; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Except where required by law, fees already paid are non-refundable. During any beta period of the Service, the Beta Program Addendum applies in addition to this Section.
Curriculum, assessments, weekly plans, and chat responses produced by the Service are generated by large language models. The Service is designed with the goal of aligning generated content to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills ("TEKS") standards and to a defined set of internal content guardrails; however, alignment to TEKS or to any other standard is not guaranteed and is not a warranty. AI output can contain factual errors, omissions, biases, hallucinations, or unexpected results, and may not be appropriate for any particular child. You are the teacher of record for your child and are solely responsible for reviewing all generated material before using it for instruction, assessment, record-keeping, accreditation, or any other purpose. The Service is not a substitute for your judgment as a parent and educator. We make no representation or warranty that generated content is accurate, complete, current, suitable, lawful in your jurisdiction, aligned to any educational standard, or sufficient to satisfy any homeschool reporting, accreditation, transcript, or graduation requirement.
We do not use parent-entered information, child profile information, weekly notes, chat messages, generated curriculum, or assessment responses to train, fine-tune, or otherwise improve any foundation model, our own or any third party's. Our AI service providers are contractually prohibited from using your inputs or the resulting outputs to train their models in the ordinary course. For details on retention by our AI provider, see Section 7A of the Privacy Policy.
Generated content does not constitute medical, psychological, special-education, legal, or other professional advice. If you have concerns about your child's learning needs, consult a qualified professional.
You agree not to:
The Service, its software, prompt designs, templates, and brand assets are owned by Alatus LLC or its licensors. We grant you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the Service in connection with your active subscription. You retain ownership of the profile data and weekly notes you enter; you grant us a limited license to process that data solely for the purpose of operating the Service for you, as described in our Privacy Policy.
Our handling of personal data — including data about children that you enter on their behalf — is described in our Privacy Policy and, with respect to information collected about children under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, in our COPPA Parental Consent Notice. By using the Service you confirm that you have the authority, as parent or legal guardian, to enter information about each child you create a profile for, and that you accept the data practices described in the Privacy Policy and the COPPA Parental Consent Notice.
We work to keep the Service available and reliable but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may perform maintenance, change features, or temporarily suspend access to address security or operational concerns.
You may stop using the Service and cancel your subscription at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, if your payment method fails and is not corrected within a reasonable period, or if continued provision of the Service to you is not feasible. We will give you reasonable notice unless immediate action is required.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. We do not warrant that generated content will meet your educational, regulatory, accreditation, or other requirements.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ALATUS LLC WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $100. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES; IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS, OUR LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. THIS SECTION DOES NOT LIMIT LIABILITY FOR FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR ANY OTHER LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED OR EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. During any beta period, the Beta Program Addendum applies and may modify the cap above.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Alatus LLC and its officers, members, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party, including intellectual property and privacy rights; (d) any content or information you submit to the Service, including information you enter about a child; and (e) your reliance on, distribution of, or use of any AI-generated content produced by the Service. Alatus LLC reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claim.
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Before filing any formal claim, you agree to first contact us at support@alatusacademy.com and provide a written description of the dispute and the relief you seek. We will attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least sixty (60) days before either party initiates arbitration.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that is not resolved informally will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, except as modified here. The arbitration will be conducted in Bexar County, Texas or, at your election, by telephone or videoconference, or based solely on written submissions where the amount in dispute does not exceed USD $25,000. The arbitrator's decision will be final and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
YOU AND ALATUS LLC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If this class action waiver is found unenforceable, then the entirety of Section 14.3 (Binding Arbitration) is null and void.
You may opt out of the arbitration agreement in Section 14.3 and the class action waiver in Section 14.4 by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to support@alatusacademy.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, the email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out. Opting out will not affect any other provisions of these Terms.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights.
For any action not subject to arbitration, you and Alatus LLC consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Bexar County, Texas.
We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe that material accessible through the Service infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") to our designated agent:
Your notice must include the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), including: (i) a physical or electronic signature of the rightsholder or authorized agent; (ii) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (iii) identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it; (iv) your contact information; (v) a statement of good-faith belief that the use is not authorized; and (vi) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act. We will respond to properly submitted notices in accordance with the DMCA. We may terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any addenda referenced or accepted at signup (including the Beta Program Addendum during any applicable beta period), constitute the entire agreement between you and Alatus LLC regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or to an affiliate, without your consent. Any prohibited assignment is void.
Neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil disturbance, labor disputes, governmental action, internet or utility outages, third-party service provider failures, or epidemics.
We may provide notice to you by email to the address on your account or by posting in the Service. You may provide notice to us at support@alatusacademy.com or, for legal notices, at Alatus LLC, Attn: Legal, 5900 Balcones Drive STE 100, Austin, TX 78731.
You and Alatus LLC are independent contractors. These Terms do not create any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship.
These Terms do not confer any rights on any third party.
You represent that you are not located in, and are not a national or resident of, any country subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, and that you are not on any U.S. government list of restricted parties.
Sections 5 (AI-Generated Content), 7 (Ownership and License), 11 (Disclaimers), 12 (Limitation of Liability), 13 (Indemnification), 14 (Governing Law and Dispute Resolution), and this Section 16 will survive any termination of these Terms.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email to the address on your account and posted at this URL with a new "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of an update constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
