Using Acacia
1. Agreement to these Terms
You agree to these Terms, and to the Privacy Policy, when you create an account, and you continue to agree to the current version each time you use Acacia. These Terms apply to everyone who uses Acacia, whether you use your own account or open a link that someone shares with you, and whether or not you have signed up. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use Acacia.
If you accept these Terms on behalf of someone else, such as a parent or guardian accepting for a child, you confirm that you have the authority to do so and that you accept these Terms for both of you.
2. Who can use Acacia
You must be at least 13 years old to use Acacia. If you are between 13 and 17, a parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms with you, and by using Acacia you confirm that they have. If you are under 13, you may not use Acacia.
When you sign up, the information you give must be accurate, and you confirm that you are allowed to use Acacia under the laws that apply where you live. Acacia is available to people in many places, and you are responsible for following your own local laws when you use it.
3. What Acacia is
Acacia is a study aid. You provide your own learning material, and Acacia uses artificial intelligence to turn it into study content, check how well you understand it, and give you feedback as you work toward mastering it. Acacia supports your own studying. It is not a teacher, a school, a professional tutoring or advisory service, or a substitute for your own work and judgment.
Acacia is a new and evolving product, and its features may be added to, changed, limited, or made temporarily unavailable at any time.
4. Your account
You can create an account with an email and password, or by signing in with Google. Keep your login details secure. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
An account is for one person. A parent or legal guardian may set up and oversee an account for their own child. You may not share your login with others, and you may not use a single account to run Acacia on behalf of several people.
You may share a link to a study session or a folder with someone else. To use it, that person must create their own account, and by doing so they agree to these Terms.
Acacia may set and change limits on how much you can use or generate, for example to manage costs and to keep the service running for everyone.
We may suspend or close an account that breaks these Terms.
5. Acceptable use
Acacia, including its software, its design, the way its artificial intelligence is instructed, and the study method behind it, is original work. To protect that work, and to keep Acacia safe and available for everyone, you agree that you will not do any of the following, and will not help or allow anyone else to do them.
- Copy, reproduce, republish, sell, rent, sublicense, or commercially distribute Acacia, any part of it, or the materials it generates for you. Sharing a session link with another student so they can study is fine; reselling or commercially distributing Acacia or its materials is not.
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise try to discover or reconstruct the source code, the prompts or instructions given to the artificial intelligence, the grading logic, or the study method behind Acacia.
- Use Acacia, your access to it, or anything it generates to build, train, or improve any product, service, or artificial intelligence that competes with or imitates Acacia.
- Use bots, scrapers, or any automated means to access Acacia or to collect or copy its content in bulk.
- Bypass, disable, or interfere with any security measure or access control, or access any part of Acacia you are not authorized to use.
- Get around any limit Acacia places on your use, in order to use the app beyond what it allows you.
- Break the law, infringe anyone's rights, upload content you do not have the right to use, upload malware, or interfere with the operation, integrity, or security of Acacia or the providers it relies on.
These restrictions are central to this agreement. A serious violation of this section is a serious breach of these Terms, and may result in immediate suspension or closure of your access, in addition to any other rights available under the law.
Ownership and your content
6. Ownership and intellectual property
Acacia is ours. The parts of Acacia that we created are owned by us, including its software and source code, its design and visual style, the name and logo "Acacia," the prompts and instructions given to the artificial intelligence, the grading criteria, and the structure, methods, and refinements behind how Acacia works. All of this is protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other laws, and we reserve every right in it that we do not clearly give you in these Terms.
The prompts, the grading criteria, and the specific way Acacia works are confidential and proprietary. Nothing in these Terms, and nothing you can see while using Acacia, gives you any right to copy, use, or disclose them.
Acacia also relies on third-party software, libraries, fonts, and artificial intelligence models that we do not own. Those belong to their owners and are used under license. We claim no ownership of them, and your use of Acacia gives you no rights to them.
You are given a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable permission to use Acacia for your own learning, and nothing more. This permission gives you no ownership of Acacia and no right to use it beyond what these Terms allow.
7. Your content and the outputs Acacia creates
Your content is the material and information you put into Acacia, including the text you type or paste, the files and documents you upload, the photos of your work, the voice you record, the answers and explanations you give, the names you give your sessions, and any extra information you provide. You keep ownership of your content.
You give us permission to store, copy, process, display, and transmit your content, and to share it with the providers in Section 8, so that Acacia can work for you. We may also access and review your content when we need to operate Acacia, fix a problem, or improve how it works, and we limit that to what is reasonably needed. We do not sell your content, we do not use it to train our own artificial intelligence, and we never show your work to other users.
Everything Acacia generates for you is owned by us. This includes the study groups, explanations, questions, feedback, grading, and practice tests it produces, and each study session as a whole, including its structure and its data. These generated materials are part of Acacia, and they are protected and reserved to us in the same way the rest of Acacia is under Section 6.
While you are using Acacia under these Terms, you have a personal license to use the sessions and material Acacia generates for you, within Acacia, for your own studying. Your use of anything Acacia generates is also subject to the restrictions in Section 5. In particular, you may not resell or redistribute it, use it to build or train a competing product or artificial intelligence, or use it to reverse-engineer how Acacia works.
If you stop using Acacia or delete your account, this license ends, and your sessions are removed as described in the Privacy Policy.
You are responsible for using Acacia, and anything it generates, honestly, and for following the rules of your own school or institution. Using Acacia does not entitle you to any grade or credit, and we are not responsible for how you choose to use what Acacia generates in your own coursework.
If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback about Acacia, we may use them freely, with no obligation to you.
8. Artificial intelligence and third-party services
To make Acacia work, we send your content to trusted third-party providers. These include artificial intelligence providers that help generate study content, process documents, grade work, and power voice and audio features, and infrastructure providers that handle secure storage, sign-in, and hosting. Using Acacia means you agree that your content will be sent to and processed by these providers as a necessary part of using the service.
Some of these providers process data in countries outside the United States. Each provider handles your content under its own terms, which also apply to that processing.
Disclaimers and liability
9. Disclaimers
Acacia is a study aid built to help you learn more effectively, and used well it can make a real difference. Like any study tool, what you get out of it depends on the work you put in.
We do not guarantee any particular grade, score, admission, or other result, and we do not owe you anything based on the results you do or do not achieve. How you perform depends on many things outside our control, including your own effort and how your work is assessed.
Acacia uses artificial intelligence, and the material it generates can sometimes be incomplete or incorrect. Use your own judgment, and check anything important against your own course material.
Acacia may change, may contain errors, may lose data, and may sometimes be unavailable. It is provided to you as it is and as available, without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent allowed by law. Where the law does not allow certain warranties to be excluded, those warranties are limited to the smallest extent the law allows.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for any loss of data, grades, opportunities, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of Acacia.
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the total amount we can be required to pay you for all claims relating to Acacia will not be more than the greater of the amount you paid us to use Acacia in the twelve months before the claim, or one hundred United States dollars (US $100).
Where the law does not allow these limits, our liability is limited to the smallest extent the law allows.
11. Indemnification
You agree to use Acacia in line with these Terms and the law. If you break these Terms or use Acacia in a way that violates someone else's rights, and that causes another person to bring a legal claim against us, you agree to cover the reasonable costs of that claim, to the extent the law allows. Where a parent or guardian agreed to these Terms for a minor, this rests with that adult, and it never covers our own wrongdoing.
Changes and ending your use
12. Suspension and termination
You can stop using Acacia at any time, and you can delete your account from within the app. When you delete your account, your study sessions are removed.
We may suspend or close your access to Acacia immediately, and without notice, if you break these Terms or misuse Acacia. We may also suspend or close access when we reasonably need to, for example to protect Acacia, its users, or the providers we rely on, or to comply with the law. Where it is reasonable to do so, we will try to let you know.
We may also remove accounts or study sessions that have been left unused for a long time.
When we close an account, the study sessions in it are removed, in the same way as when you delete your account yourself, except where we need to keep limited information to comply with the law or to deal with a violation.
Some parts of these Terms are meant to continue after your access ends. Sections 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 14, and 17 will continue to apply.
13. Changes to Acacia and to these Terms
Acacia is actively being built, and we may change, pause, add to, remove, or discontinue any part of it, or all of it, at any time. Where it is reasonable, we will try not to disrupt people who are actively using it, though we may not always be able to avoid it.
We may also update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we may let you know in different ways depending on the change, for example by posting the updated Terms with a new date, by showing a notice inside the app, by asking you to accept the new Terms, or by emailing the address linked to your account. For significant changes, we may ask you to accept the updated Terms before you continue. If you keep using Acacia after the changes take effect, you accept them. If you do not agree, please stop using Acacia and delete your account.
Legal details
14. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
If you have a problem, please contact us first at amogh@acacialearn.com. We will try in good faith to resolve it with you informally, and we ask that you give us a reasonable chance to do so before starting any formal action. If a dispute cannot be resolved that way, it will be handled by the state or federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California, and you and we agree to the jurisdiction of those courts, to the extent the law allows.
To the extent the law allows, any claim relating to Acacia must be brought within one year of when it arose.
15. Copyright complaints and takedown
We respect the rights of copyright owners, and we expect the people who use Acacia to do the same. If you believe that something on Acacia infringes a copyright you own or represent, send a notice to amogh.vasu@gmail.com that includes:
- a description of the work you say has been infringed;
- a description of the material you believe is infringing, and enough detail for us to find it;
- your name and contact information, so we can reach you;
- a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
- a statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act for the owner.
When we receive a proper notice, we will review it and remove the material where appropriate. We may also close the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe the rights of others.
16. Privacy
Your privacy matters. Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using Acacia, you also agree to our Privacy Policy, which is part of these Terms.
17. General terms
- Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about Acacia, and they replace any earlier agreements about the same subject.
- Severability. If any part of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest stays in effect, and the unenforceable part is applied as closely as possible to its original intent.
- No waiver. If we do not enforce a right or a term right away, that does not mean we give it up.
- Assignment. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our written permission. We may transfer ours, for example if Acacia later becomes a company or is acquired, and these Terms will continue to apply.
- Future operator. Acacia is currently operated by Amogh Vasudevan as an individual. If it is later operated by a company that he forms or controls, these Terms will continue to apply, and references to us will mean that company.
- Events beyond our control. We are not responsible for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, such as outages of the providers we rely on, network failures, or other emergencies.
