These Legal Terms shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Services. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE LEGAL TERMS, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR LIABILITY, DENY ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES (INCLUDING BLOCKING CERTAIN IP ADDRESSES), TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY REASON OR FOR NO REASON, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR COVENANT CONTAINED IN THESE LEGAL TERMS OR OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW OR REGULATION.

We reserve the right to change, modify, or remove the contents of the Services at any time or for any reason at our sole discretion without notice. However, we have no obligation to update any information on our Services. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, price change, suspension, or discontinuance of the Services.

These Legal Terms and your use of the Services are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Alabama applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed within the State of Alabama, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Legal Terms (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the "Disputes") brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration.

If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The arbitration will take place in United States, Alabama.

The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, MASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OF ANY KIND. Each Party may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of multiple individuals and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If a court or arbitrator determines that this waiver is unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) must proceed in court, and the rest of this Section 17 remains in force for every other claim.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to the Services or these Legal Terms must be filed within ONE (1) YEAR after the claim or cause of action arose, or it is permanently and forever barred. The Parties expressly waive any longer statute of limitations.

Notwithstanding the agreement to arbitrate, either Party may bring an individual action in small claims court for any qualifying claim, and we may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction for: (a) injunctive or equitable relief to protect our intellectual property, trade secrets, confidential information, or to prevent unauthorized access, fraud, abuse, security violations, or misuse of the Services; (b) collection of fees owed to us; or (c) any claim arising under intellectual property law. Seeking such relief in court does not waive our right to arbitrate any other Dispute.

You may opt out of the arbitration agreement and class-action waiver in this Section 17 within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Legal Terms by sending written notice to [email protected] with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and including your full name, the email address associated with your account, and a statement that you wish to opt out. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Legal Terms. If you do not opt out within 30 days, you are bound by the arbitration agreement and class-action waiver.

This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute about the formation, validity, applicability, interpretation, scope, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement, except that a court has authority to decide whether the class-action waiver is enforceable.

There may be information on the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, including descriptions, pricing, availability, and various other information. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or update the information on the Services at any time, without prior notice.

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN AS-IS AND AS-AVAILABLE BASIS. YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES AND YOUR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

NO ACADEMIC OUTCOME GUARANTEE. GRADEPATH IS A STUDY, ORGANIZATION, AND PLANNING TOOL. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE, PROMISE, WARRANT, OR REPRESENT ANY SPECIFIC ACADEMIC, EDUCATIONAL, OR PERSONAL OUTCOME, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION: (A) ANY GRADE, LETTER GRADE, NUMERIC GRADE, OR PERCENTAGE ON ANY ASSIGNMENT, QUIZ, EXAM, COURSE, OR TERM; (B) ANY GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA), CUMULATIVE GPA, OR CHANGE IN GPA; (C) PASSING ANY COURSE, EXAM, CERTIFICATION, LICENSURE, OR PROGRAM; (D) GRADUATION, DEGREE COMPLETION, OR ACADEMIC STANDING; (E) ADMISSION, RE-ADMISSION, TRANSFER, OR PLACEMENT INTO ANY SCHOOL, PROGRAM, MAJOR, MINOR, HONORS PROGRAM, OR INTERNSHIP; (F) ANY SCHOLARSHIP, GRANT, FELLOWSHIP, AID PACKAGE, OR FINANCIAL OUTCOME; (G) RETENTION OF ATHLETIC, ACADEMIC, OR MERIT-BASED ELIGIBILITY; (H) ANY EMPLOYMENT, INTERVIEW, OFFER, OR CAREER OUTCOME; OR (I) ANY OTHER EDUCATIONAL, PROFESSIONAL, FINANCIAL, OR PERSONAL RESULT. ACADEMIC OUTCOMES DEPEND ON MANY FACTORS OUTSIDE OUR CONTROL, INCLUDING YOUR EFFORT, ATTENDANCE, INSTRUCTORS, INSTITUTION POLICIES, GRADING CURVES, EXAM CONDITIONS, AND THE ACCURACY OF DATA YOU PROVIDE. ANY TESTIMONIALS, CASE STUDIES, OR EXAMPLES ON OUR MARKETING PAGES ARE NOT TYPICAL AND DO NOT CONSTITUTE A PROMISE OF SIMILAR RESULTS.

STUDY AID; NOT PROFESSIONAL OR ACADEMIC ADVICE. GradePath is a study aid and personal productivity tool. It is not a substitute for instructors, teaching assistants, academic advisors, tutors, counselors, mental health professionals, financial aid officers, registrars, or any licensed professional. Nothing produced by GradePath, including AI-generated explanations, study plans, grade predictions, exam-prep materials, scheduling recommendations, or agent actions, constitutes professional, academic, legal, financial, medical, or psychological advice. You should consult your instructors, advisors, and your institution's official policies for authoritative guidance. You are solely responsible for your academic decisions and outcomes.

OFFICIAL RECORDS CONTROL. Grade calculations, GPA estimates, deadline lists, and any other figures shown in GradePath are unofficial estimates derived from data you or your learning management system provided. Your institution's official systems (registrar, gradebook, transcript, financial aid office, and academic standing office) are the sole authoritative record of your grades, credits, GPA, standing, and academic progress. If GradePath conflicts with your institution's records, your institution's records control. You are responsible for verifying all figures with your instructor and your institution before relying on them for any decision, including dropping or adding courses, scheduling, financial aid, scholarships, athletic eligibility, graduation, or professional applications.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY; YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. You are solely responsible for using GradePath in compliance with your institution's academic integrity policy, AI-use policy, honor code, code of conduct, syllabus rules, and the rules of any specific assignment, course, exam, or assessment. Some instructors, courses, programs, and institutions prohibit or restrict the use of AI tools, study aids, or third-party software. We do not monitor or enforce your school's policies, do not determine whether your use of the Services is permitted in any particular course or assessment, and we are not responsible for any disciplinary, academic, or legal consequence arising from your use of the Services, including any allegation or finding of plagiarism, cheating, unauthorized assistance, or academic misconduct. When in doubt, ask your instructor in writing before using GradePath for an assignment.

AI OUTPUT. The Services use artificial intelligence, including large language models, which can produce inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, biased, or misleading output, including confident-sounding but incorrect explanations, citations, calculations, dates, and recommendations ("hallucinations"). You must independently verify any AI-generated content before relying on it for any purpose, including but not limited to studying, writing, calculations, decisions, or submissions. We make no warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, reliability, timeliness, or suitability of any AI output. AI output is not the work product of, and is not endorsed by, any human expert.

THIRD-PARTY DATA AND INTEGRATIONS. GradePath may import, sync, or display data from third-party services, including learning management systems (such as Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace, and Moodle), calendars, email, file storage, payment processors, and AI providers. We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, availability, security, or timeliness of data they provide, the operation of their services, any outage or change, or any consequence of their actions. You acknowledge that third-party data may be delayed, incomplete, or incorrect, and that you are responsible for verifying it against your institution's official records.

AGENT ACTIONS. The GradePath AI agent, in copilot or autopilot mode, may draft, schedule, suggest, or execute actions on your behalf based on the data and rules available to it. You are responsible for reviewing and confirming any agent action that affects your account, calendar, study plan, communications, or any third-party service. We are not liable for any consequence arising from an agent action you authorized, configured, failed to disable, or failed to undo, including missed deadlines, missed assignments, scheduling conflicts, communications sent, or data changes.

NO MEDICAL, MENTAL HEALTH, OR EMERGENCY USE. GradePath is not a medical device, mental health service, crisis line, or emergency service. Do not use GradePath in any emergency, medical, mental health, or safety-critical situation. If you are experiencing a crisis, contact your local emergency services, a licensed professional, or a crisis hotline.

USER DATA ACCURACY. The accuracy and usefulness of the Services depend on the data you provide, including syllabi, grades, weights, deadlines, and integrations you connect. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data you input, upload, or sync. We are not liable for any output, recommendation, prediction, or agent action that is based on inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated data.

IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFIT, LOST REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION, WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO US DURING THE SIX (6) MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our subsidiaries, affiliates, and all of our respective officers, agents, partners, and employees, from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, made by any third party due to or arising out of: (1) your Contributions; (2) use of the Services; (3) breach of these Legal Terms; (4) any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in these Legal Terms; (5) your violation of the rights of a third party, including but not limited to intellectual property rights; or (6) any overt harmful act toward any other user of the Services with whom you connected via the Services.

We will maintain certain data that you transmit to the Services for the purpose of managing the performance of the Services, as well as data relating to your use of the Services. Although we perform regular routine backups of data, you are solely responsible for all data that you transmit or that relates to any activity you have undertaken using the Services. You agree that we shall have no liability to you for any loss or corruption of any such data, and you hereby waive any right of action against us arising from any such loss or corruption of such data.

These Legal Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services or in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Legal Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Legal Terms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations to others at any time. We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control.

SEVERABILITY. If any provision or part of a provision of these Legal Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, that provision or part shall be deemed severed from these Legal Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving the Parties' original intent. To the maximum extent permitted by law, every disclaimer, limitation of liability, indemnity, waiver, and dispute-resolution provision in these Legal Terms shall apply independently of every other such provision; the unenforceability of one shall not affect any other.

FORCE MAJEURE. We shall not be liable for any delay, failure, interruption, error, loss, or damage caused by events outside our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, public-health emergencies, fire, flood, earthquake, severe weather, internet or telecommunications failures, power outages, denial-of-service attacks, vendor or third-party-provider failures (including AI providers, cloud hosting, payment processors, learning management systems, and email or calendar providers), labor disputes, or any other circumstance beyond our reasonable control.

SURVIVAL. All provisions of these Legal Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnification, limitations of liability, dispute resolution, class-action and jury-trial waivers, the time limit on claims, and these miscellaneous provisions.

BETA AND EXPERIMENTAL FEATURES. We may, from time to time, offer features designated as "beta," "preview," "experimental," "alpha," "early access," or similar. Such features are provided AS-IS, may change or be discontinued at any time, may contain bugs or errors, and are not subject to any service-level commitment. We disclaim all warranties and liabilities for beta and experimental features to the fullest extent permitted by law.

NO RELIANCE; NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, representation, assurance, or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not expressly set out in these Legal Terms. These Legal Terms are for the benefit of you and us only. There are no third-party beneficiaries to these Legal Terms, except that our officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, successors, and assigns are intended beneficiaries of the disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and waiver provisions.

HEADINGS; CONSTRUCTION. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. The words "include," "includes," and "including" are deemed followed by "without limitation." Ambiguities in these Legal Terms shall not be construed against the drafter.
