Terms
Terms of Use
These terms govern free use of Studiume during early access. By registering, a user accepts these terms and separately confirms that they have read the Privacy Policy.
Beta status and operator
Studiume is the name of a service operated by ФОП Ярмолюк Сергій Петрович, a Ukrainian sole proprietor. The service operates as a controlled beta before public opening. The operator’s postal address and Ukrainian taxpayer number will be added separately before public registration opens; until then, these Terms apply to the controlled beta with restricted access.
Acceptance and right to use
An adult may create an account independently. If a user cannot lawfully enter into this arrangement independently, the involvement or valid consent of their legal representative is required.
An institution may arrange a user’s access or enter learning data only where it has appropriate authority and a lawful basis. An invitation, provision of access or data entry by an institution does not by itself mean that the institution accepted these Terms on the user’s behalf unless that representation expressly follows from law or separately verified authority.
Choosing to learn, teach or support a child during onboarding only configures guidance and does not limit future account capabilities. The right to use Studiume is personal and cannot be transferred to another person together with the account.
Account and access
Users must provide accurate information, keep passwords confidential and promptly report suspected unauthorized access. Users are responsible for their own actions and those of people to whom they deliberately gave access; this does not remove the operator’s responsibility for service security.
Users must not share access with unauthorized people, bypass permissions or use another person’s data without a lawful basis.
Managing learning-workspace participants
An owner or authorized administrator of a learning workspace may invite participants, grant or change their permissions, and restrict, suspend or terminate their access to that workspace, its courses and materials. The owner or administrator must act within applicable law and their own arrangements with participants, and must have proper authority to enter participant data.
Studiume provides the technical means to carry out that decision but does not make it on behalf of the owner or administrator. A restriction in one learning workspace does not by itself terminate the user’s account or access to other workspaces. Studiume may separately restrict access to the platform only on the grounds set out in these Terms.
Grades, attendance, progress and reports are working service records. Storage of a record in Studiume does not by itself make it an official document; that status is determined by applicable law and the relevant institution’s procedures.
Educational relationships between participants
Learning content and quality, schedules, grading, decisions by a teacher or institution, access to a particular course, a promised certificate, and payment or refunds for a separate educational service are governed by the arrangement between the learner or legal representative and the relevant tutor, teacher, institution or other provider of that service.
Unless a separate offer, order or agreement expressly identifies Studiume as the seller or provider of the relevant educational service, the platform operator is not a party to that separate educational arrangement and does not decide the merits of a dispute on behalf of its participants. This allocation does not limit Studiume’s duties concerning the platform itself or change any responsibility imposed on Studiume by mandatory law based on its actual role.
Separate agreements
Where a separate written offer, order or agreement with Studiume expressly governs the same issue and conflicts with these Terms, that document prevails only within its subject matter. Separate data-processing terms or a DPA prevail for documented roles, instructions and personal-data processing obligations; these Terms continue to apply in all other respects.
No separate document limits mandatory user rights or obligations imposed on a party by law based on its actual role.
Content, Studiume and rights
Users retain rights to content they add and, while it is lawfully retained, grant the operator a non-exclusive, royalty-free and worldwide permission to store, technically reproduce, transmit to authorized participants and engaged providers, cache, index for search, format, convert, create technical previews and thumbnails, back up, restore and export that content. These acts are permitted only to the extent needed to operate, protect and develop the stated Studiume functions or fulfil an explicit user request, including optional AI processing described in the Privacy Policy.
This permission does not allow the operator to sell user content, use it for advertising or voluntarily provide it for training general-purpose AI models. The permission ends when lawful retention ends, except for limited processing in backups, logs or other cases where retention remains necessary by law or to protect rights.
Users must have the right to add materials, assignments, quizzes, files and personal data. A report of possible copyright or other intellectual-property infringement must follow the IP notice procedure. Studiume may proportionately restrict access to disputed material during review but does not decide ownership of rights in place of a court.
Rights in the Studiume software, interface, design, name, logo, documentation and service-owned materials belong to the operator or relevant rightsholders. While access is valid, the user receives a limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the service under these Terms. This does not grant a right to copy or resell the service, appropriate its branding, remove rights notices, obtain source code or circumvent technical restrictions, except where applicable law expressly permits otherwise.
AI assistant
The AI assistant is an optional feature. Its responses are generated automatically, may be inaccurate, incomplete or inappropriate, and must be checked by the user. They are not an official grade, a decision by a teacher or institution, or professional advice, and important decisions must not be based solely on AI output.
The assistant operates only within the user’s current permissions. A proposed data change is carried out only after the user’s explicit confirmation and a fresh access check by the service; AI output by itself does not expand permissions or confirm an action.
Users must not send passwords, access keys, payment details, excessive or special-category personal data, or information they have no right to process. The user’s duty to verify AI output and act only within proper authority does not exclude the operator’s responsibility for its own platform, security and personal-data obligations.
Free packages and future billing
During early access, the advertised beta packages are provided without charge. Free use does not create a debt, automatic renewal or obligation to purchase a paid package.
Before billing begins, prices, periods, package contents and commercial terms will be published separately. A paid service may begin only after a separate explicit user action and acceptance of the relevant terms.
Early access, changes and availability
Beta features may contain errors. Studiume may change, restrict by package or discontinue individual functions for substantial reasons, including product development, compatibility, defect correction, security, legal compliance, changes to third-party infrastructure or the structure of beta packages. Such a modification does not by itself create an additional charge without a separate explicit user action.
The free beta has no contractual SLA, guaranteed support response time or promise that every particular feature will remain available. This does not remove conformity, accessibility, security or other user rights that applicable law does not allow to be limited.
A user is informed of a planned modification in a clear and understandable manner. Where a change may materially and adversely affect access to or use of the service, Studiume gives advance notice on a durable medium where required by law and does not limit the right to stop using the service or invoke another remedy provided by law. Urgent changes for security, compliance with a binding requirement or remediation of an active failure may be applied without advance notice, followed by an explanation where permitted and reasonably practicable.
Technical interruptions may occur for updates, fixes, security and backup restoration. Planned discontinuation of the entire service will be announced in advance where reasonably practicable.
Learning outcomes and important records
Studiume is a learning-organization tool and does not guarantee a particular educational outcome, grade, certification or compliance with the internal procedures of a specific institution.
Users and institutions must not use the beta as the sole repository for documents they are required to retain. Studiume backups are intended for service recovery and do not replace a user’s or institution’s own archive.
Prohibited use
Users must not violate law, rights or privacy, add excessive data about children, upload malicious code, bypass access controls, test vulnerabilities without written permission, disrupt the service, distribute unlawful or abusive content, or use Studiume for spam.
Suspension and termination of access to Studiume
Studiume may temporarily restrict a feature, block access or terminate an account for a material breach of these Terms, unlawful or fraudulent use, an attempted attack or circumvention of safeguards, a threat to the security of the platform or users, infringement of another person’s rights, or compliance with a binding request from a court or competent authority.
The measure should be proportionate to the risk and last no longer than reasonably necessary. Unless doing so would create an additional risk, prejudice an investigation or be prohibited by law, the user will be told the reason, scope of the restriction, any available remedy and a channel for review.
Technical interruptions for updates, fixes, security or service recovery are not sanctions against a user and are governed by the availability section. A future restriction for non-payment may apply only after paid services launch and under separately accepted commercial terms.
A user may request review of a restriction, account closure and available data through the Contact page. Deletion or provision of data is handled with regard to other participants’ rights, learning-record integrity, backups and legal obligations.
Warranties and limits of liability
The operator uses reasonable efforts to keep Studiume secure and stable but does not promise that the free beta will be uninterrupted, error-free or suitable for every special purpose.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for indirect loss, lost profit, loss of an expected learning outcome, or decisions made solely from unverified working records. This limitation does not apply to intentional breach, injury to life or health, infringement of inalienable personal-data rights, or other liability that applicable law does not allow to be excluded or limited.
Requests, disputes and applicable law
Educational disputes between participants are handled by those participants or the relevant educational-service provider. Concerns about the platform itself, an account, a Studiume access-restriction decision, security, personal data or the operator’s own obligations may be sent to hello@studiume.com.
The user and operator may try to resolve such a concern before going to court, but this is not a mandatory pre-litigation procedure and does not restrict the right to contact a court, the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights or another competent authority.
The relationship between the user and the Studiume operator is governed by Ukrainian law without limiting mandatory rights that the user may have under another applicable law. This clause does not determine the law governing a separate educational arrangement between users.
Changes and contact
An editorial or technical clarification that does not materially alter the parties’ rights or obligations may take effect after publication with an updated date or revision history and without renewed acceptance. A material change to the Terms receives a new version and effective date, is notified in a manner appropriate to the change and, where required by law or the change itself, requires separate confirmation. Material new terms are not treated as accepted merely because the page text was replaced.
