Terms of Service
These terms explain how you and Semester agree to work together. They're short on purpose. Read them in about five minutes.
1. What Semester is
Semester is a student dashboard: tasks, classes, grades, exams, notes, a focus timer, flashcards and Study Rooms to work alongside other students. You create an account, your data is stored in your account, and you can delete it at any time.
These terms are an agreement between you and Semester ("we", "us"), which runs the service and sells Semester Pro.
2. Your account
You need an email address and a password to use Semester, and you need to be at least 13 (or older where the law in your country requires it). You're responsible for keeping your password safe. One person per account. You can wipe your dashboard from Settings → Data → Reset all data, or delete your account and everything in it from Settings → Data → Delete account. On a monthly or yearly Pro plan? Cancel it in Settings → Plan first.
If you think someone else got into your account, email security@yoursemester.com right away.
3. Acceptable use
We want you to use Semester the way it's meant to be used: as a study companion. Don't use it to:
- Break the law or anyone's rights
- Upload content that isn't yours to upload
- Try to access other people's accounts or data
- Disrupt the service, or reverse-engineer, scrape or redistribute Semester
4. Study Rooms
Study Rooms are shared spaces, so treat people there the way you'd want to be treated. Don't harass, threaten or bully anyone, share sexual or violent content, spam, or share anyone's personal information. Members can vote to remove someone from a room. To report abuse, email support@yoursemester.com with the room and what happened, and we may suspend accounts that break these rules.
5. Your content is yours
Tasks, grades, notes, flashcards. Everything you put into Semester stays yours. We don't sell your data, we don't train models on it, and we don't share it with partners. We keep it only because you asked us to. See the Privacy Policy for the details.
6. Semester Pro and payments
Semester is free to use, with limits on a few features. Semester Pro is an optional paid plan that lifts them. It's sold through our online reseller, which acts as the merchant of record: it takes the payment, charges any tax that applies and sends your receipts, and its buyer terms also apply to your purchase.
- Trial. Each account can try Pro free for 7 days, once, without a card. When it ends, the account goes back to Free unless you choose a plan.
- Renewal. Monthly and yearly plans renew automatically, and your payment method is charged at the start of each period until you cancel. The Semester pass is one payment for 5 months and doesn't renew.
- Cancelling. Cancel any time in Settings → Plan. Pro stays on until the end of the period you've paid for, and nothing more is charged.
- Refunds. Payments aren't refundable, except where the law requires. Payments & refunds has the details and is part of these terms.
- Under 18? You need a parent's or guardian's permission to buy Pro.
7. Changes to Semester
Semester keeps growing. We may add, change or remove features over time, and we'll tell you ahead of time about changes that affect how you use it.
8. Availability
Semester is provided as-is. We try hard to keep it running, but we can't guarantee zero downtime. If something breaks, we'll fix it as fast as we reasonably can. If a change affects your data in a significant way, we'll let you know in advance. Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under the consumer laws where you live.
9. Termination
You can stop using Semester and delete your account any time. We may suspend or end accounts that violate these terms. We'll try to give notice and a reason first. If we end an account, any Pro subscription on it is cancelled and nothing more is charged.
10. Changes to these terms
If we update these terms, we'll post the new version on this page and update the "last updated" date. If the change is material, we'll email you.
