Terms of Use

By creating an account or using Ownly Academy, you agree to these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) and able to form a binding contract to use Ownly Academy. If you use the service on behalf of a household, school, co-op, or organization, you represent that you have authority to do so.

You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

You agree not to upload, store, or share content that is illegal, including any sexual content involving minors (CSAM), which we report to the authorities as required by law.

You agree not to upload, store, or share content that is sexually explicit, pornographic, obscene, violent, self-harm related, harassing, hateful, defamatory, abusive, or invasive of another person's privacy.

You agree not to upload, store, or share content that infringes someone else's intellectual property rights, contains malware, disrupts the service, probes the service, or attempts to gain unauthorized access.

Uploading prohibited content may result in immediate removal of the content and suspension or permanent termination of your account.

You retain ownership of the homeschool records, student records, notes, uploads, portfolio evidence, and other content you add to Ownly Academy.

You grant us a limited license to store, process, display, back up, and transmit your content solely to operate the service for you, including AI-assisted features and automated moderation where enabled.

You are responsible for the content you upload and represent that you have the right to upload it, including any student information, images, documents, or records.

Ownly Academy is designed for parents, guardians, educators, and authorized household members to manage homeschool records. You are responsible for ensuring that student information is entered, shared, and retained in compliance with laws that apply to your household, school, or jurisdiction.

We may screen uploads, remove content, and suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, with or without notice. We may also preserve and disclose content where required by law or to protect safety, security, or the integrity of the service.

Paid plans are billed through Stripe or another payment provider on a recurring basis until canceled. Prices, limits, and features are described at checkout and in the app. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable.

Ownly Academy provides tools for planning, tracking, and organizing homeschool information. We do not provide legal, tax, education, or compliance advice. You are responsible for confirming that your records satisfy the requirements of your state, province, country, district, umbrella school, charter program, or other applicable authority.

AI-assisted scanning, summarization, classification, and moderation may be imperfect. You should review important records, reports, lesson data, attendance logs, and compliance information yourself before relying on them.

Ownly Academy is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, or that generated reports will satisfy any specific legal or administrative requirement.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ownly Academy is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, records, profits, or business opportunities arising from your use of the service.

You agree to indemnify and hold Ownly Academy harmless from claims arising out of your content, your homeschool records, your violation of these Terms, or your misuse of the service.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Ownly Academy operates, to be specified before launch.

We may update these Terms and will revise the version above. Material changes may require you to re-accept before continuing to use Ownly Academy.
