terms of service

Ace provides ACT test-preparation tools that may include a personalized study plan, AI-generated lessons delivered on a shared whiteboard, practice questions, practice tests, and related educational content. The Service is currently offered free of charge as a beta release. Features, availability, and pricing are subject to change without notice.

• You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only with the consent and involvement of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
• You may create only one account per person, and you must provide accurate information. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account and for maintaining the security of the credentials you use to sign in.
• We may refuse, suspend, or terminate access for any user at any time in our sole discretion, including without notice, for conduct that violates these Terms or that we believe is harmful to other users, to us, or to third parties.

The diagnostic and the results discussion that follows it are free. After that, access to lessons, practice, and full tests requires a Season Pass.

• Price. The Season Pass is a one-time payment of $129 USD. It is not a subscription. It does not auto-renew, and there is nothing to cancel.
• How long it lasts. Access runs until the test date on your profile at the time of purchase, plus 7 days so the review days left on your plan stay reachable. If no valid future test date is set, or the date is very far out, access is capped at 300 days from purchase. Changing your test date after purchase does not extend access.
• What it includes. Everything described on the pricing page at the time you buy. We may add to the Service, and we may retire features that are not working; we will not remove the core of what you paid for during your access period.
• Payment processing.Payments are handled by Stripe. We never receive or store your full card number. Your use of Stripe is subject to Stripe's own terms and privacy policy.
• All sales are final. The Season Pass is non-refundable. This is why the diagnostic and the results discussion that follows it are free: you get to see exactly how the Service teaches, on your own weak areas, before you are asked to pay anything. Please use that before buying. We make no promise about score improvement. Nothing in this paragraph limits any refund or cancellation right you may have under the consumer law where you live, which we will always honour.
• Taxes. Prices are exclusive of any tax that may apply in your jurisdiction.
• Price changes. We may change the price of the Season Pass. Changes apply to future purchases only and never to a pass you have already bought.
• Complimentary access. We sometimes grant free access for testing or support reasons. Complimentary access can be withdrawn at any time and carries no refund value.

You agree not to:

• Scrape, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive or access the source code, underlying ideas, or algorithms of the Service.
• Copy, redistribute, publicly display, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit any lessons, passages, questions, explanations, or other content generated or provided by the Service, in whole or in part.
• Use the Service, including the AI tutor, to generate, store, or distribute content that is illegal, harmful, defamatory, obscene, harassing, hateful, or infringes the rights of any third party.
• Probe, scan, attack, or disrupt the Service or its underlying infrastructure, including via rate-limit bypass, automated high-volume requests, prompt-injection techniques intended to manipulate the AI into unsafe behavior, or the uploading of malicious code.
• Use the Service to train or fine-tune a competing machine- learning model, or to benchmark the Service against another product without our prior written consent.
• Use bots, automated tools, or accounts created in bulk to access or create data in the Service.
• Violate any applicable law or regulation, or encourage any third party to do so.

We reserve the right to monitor compliance with these rules and to take any action we reasonably believe is appropriate, including content removal, rate-limiting, account suspension, and account termination.

“Your Content” means the inputs you submit to the Service, for example, messages you send to the AI tutor, answers you record, notes, and drawings you produce on a whiteboard. You retain ownership of Your Content. By submitting Your Content to the Service, you grant Ace a worldwide, royalty- free, non-exclusive, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, adapt, process, and transmit Your Content as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, and improve the Service. You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant this license and that Your Content does not infringe any third-party right.

The Service, including its software, visual design, trademarks, text, audio, lessons, passages, questions, explanations, and any AI-generated outputs returned to you, is owned by Ace or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your own, non-commercial ACT-preparation purposes. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

The Service uses artificial-intelligence systems to produce lesson content, tutor responses, explanations, and voice narration. AI output is probabilistic; it can be incorrect, incomplete, or misleading. You are responsible for independently verifying any information you rely on for academic or real-world decisions. Ace does not represent AI output as authoritative and expressly disclaims any warranty that AI output is accurate, reliable, or appropriate for your particular purpose.

The Service relies on third-party service providers for cloud infrastructure, authentication, large-language-model inference, speech synthesis, analytics, and other functions. Your use of the Service may be subject to those providers' own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their acts or omissions.

Ace is not affiliated with, endorsed, sponsored, or approved by ACT, Inc. or any other test-publishing organization. “ACT” is a trademark of ACT, Inc. References to the ACT exam are nominative and are used solely for identification and educational purposes. All practice materials are produced independently; they are not copied or derived from official ACT materials and should not be used as a substitute for official preparation materials when preparing for the actual exam.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

The Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. Ace specifically disclaims all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. Ace does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of viruses or other harmful components, that defects will be corrected, that AI output will be accurate, or that the Service will improve your ACT score.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

In no event shall Ace, its affiliates, or its or their directors, officers, employees, agents, suppliers, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, including without limitation damages for loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your access to or use of, or inability to access or use, the Service, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, and whether or not Ace has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event shall Ace's aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service exceed the greater of (a) the amount, if any, you paid to Ace in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) fifty U.S. dollars (US$50).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Ace and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to or use of the Service; (b) Your Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.

You may stop using the Service at any time and delete your account from Profile → Delete account. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including for violation of these Terms. Upon termination, the rights granted to you under these Terms will immediately cease; Sections 4, 5, and 9 through 14 will survive.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.

You and Ace each agree that any claim must be brought in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative action. You and Ace waive any right to a trial by jury.

We may modify these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you (for example, by email or via the Service) and, where required, ask you to re-accept. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the updated Terms constitutes acceptance of the changes.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Ace concerning the Service and supersede all prior agreements. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them freely.
