These terms govern the use of Lernie by institutions and by the staff and students they invite. If your institution has signed a separate agreement with us, that agreement takes priority where it differs.
By creating an account, buying a plan or using Lernie you agree to these terms and our privacy policy. If you accept them for an institution, you confirm you have authority to do so.
Institutions decide who gets an account and which role they have, and are responsible for the people they invite.
Don't use Lernie to:
Institutions can require secure exam settings, including the Lernie Lockdown app and activity monitoring. These tools produce signals for instructors; decisions about academic misconduct are made by the institution under its own policies.
Institutions and their users own the course materials, submissions and messages they create. You give us permission to host, copy, process and display that content only to provide and improve the service for your institution. You're responsible for having the rights to anything you upload.
Lernie AI generates drafts of courses and quiz questions. Drafts can contain mistakes, so instructors must review them before publishing. Don't upload material you don't have the right to use as AI input.
Paid plans are billed monthly or yearly in advance at the price shown on our pricing page, any active discount, or the price in your order. Prices exclude taxes unless stated.
Plans bought online are charged through our payment providers. If a payment fails or an invoice goes unpaid after notice, we may suspend the institution's access until it's settled. Payments are non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise or we agree in writing.
Each plan includes a student limit and set of features. If you go over your limit, we'll contact you to move to the right plan; we won't lock students out of their work without notice.
We process personal data as described in our privacy policy and act on the institution's instructions for the data inside its Lernie space. A data processing agreement is available on request.
We work hard to keep Lernie available around the clock and publish live status on our status page. We sometimes need short maintenance windows and will try to schedule them outside busy teaching times. Unless a separate agreement includes a service level, we don't guarantee uninterrupted availability.
Lernie connects to services such as Google sign-in, payment providers and email delivery. Their own terms apply to your use of them, and we're not responsible for services we don't control.
Institutions can cancel at the end of any billing period. We may suspend or close accounts that seriously or repeatedly break these terms, giving notice where we reasonably can. Before an institution's data is deleted it will have an opportunity to export it.
Lernie is provided as described in these terms and your order. Apart from that, and to the extent the law allows, we don't make other promises, for example that the service will meet every need or be free of all errors.
To the extent the law allows, neither party is liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the fees the institution paid in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
We may update these terms as Lernie evolves. We'll tell institutions about important changes in advance, and continuing to use Lernie after they take effect means you accept them.
The governing law and courts for disputes are those set out in your institution's order or agreement with us. We'll always try to resolve concerns informally first, so please contact us.
