US Terms of Service

Effective August 6, 2026

1. Provider and acceptance

EstudoGenial is operated by Mauricio Carvalho, an individual located in Brazil. The operator is not a corporation or other legal entity and has no company, headquarters, office, or business establishment in the United States. The operator's Brazilian taxpayer identification number is not published. Support and formal notices may be sent to estudogenial.ai@gmail.com. No public mailing address is offered; where applicable law requires another notice method, contact us by email so that an appropriate method can be arranged.

By creating an account, checking the acceptance box, or using a paid service, you agree to these Terms and the US Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not create an account, submit content, or purchase a plan.

2. Eligibility

The US service is available only to people who reside in the United States and are at least 18 years old. It is not directed to children or teenagers. You must provide accurate age, residence, account, and payment information and keep your account credentials confidential.

3. Independent educational service

EstudoGenial is an independent study tool. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or approved by GED Testing Service LLC or any government, school, testing authority, or credential issuer. EstudoGenial does not administer the GED test, issue a diploma or credential, or provide official GED questions.

The service supplements—but does not replace—a teacher, school, official study materials, academic counseling, or professional advice. Questions, explanations, study recommendations, and writing feedback may be incomplete, outdated, biased, or incorrect. Verify important information with official sources and qualified educators. We do not promise passing, admission, certification, a minimum score, score improvement, or any particular educational result.

4. AI-assisted content and user acknowledgement

Automated and artificial-intelligence systems may generate or assist with questions, explanations, recommendations, classifications, and writing feedback. AI output can fabricate facts, omit context, reproduce bias, misinterpret a response, or provide inconsistent results. It must not be treated as an official answer or the sole basis for an important educational, financial, legal, medical, employment, or other consequential decision.

When you deliberately submit writing for AI feedback, you instruct EstudoGenial to transmit the submitted text and necessary study context to the configured AI provider. Before the first such transmission, the product requires a separate disclosure and acknowledgement. The provider may process and temporarily retain inputs and outputs for service operation, safety, abuse prevention, legal compliance, and other uses allowed by the provider's terms applicable to our account. Provider practices can differ between paid and unpaid service tiers. EstudoGenial will not represent that content is excluded from model improvement unless the configured provider account and governing terms support that statement.

You remain responsible for reviewing AI-assisted output. Reporting a suspected error helps us investigate but does not make every output subject to human review.

5. Plans, prices, limits, and renewal

Current monthly prices, usage limits, billing frequency, renewal terms, and plan features are displayed immediately before purchase. Plus and Premium are monthly subscriptions that renew automatically at the disclosed price until canceled. The renewal checkbox is not preselected. No plan is unlimited. Taxes, if applicable, may be added or handled as disclosed at checkout.

Non-recurring offers may be introduced later. Any such offer will be governed by the price, duration, expiration, and non-renewal terms displayed before purchase; an unavailable offer described elsewhere is not an offer for sale.

Stripe processes payments and provides the hosted billing portal, receipts, and invoices. Stripe normally returns refunds to the original payment method. We do not store complete card numbers. We may give advance notice of a price increase; a changed recurring price will apply only as permitted by law and after any required notice or consent.

6. Cancellation

You may cancel monthly renewal online from your account through the Stripe billing portal. We provide confirmation after a cancellation request is accepted. Cancellation stops future renewal and normally preserves paid access through the current billing period. It does not delete your account or study history. No new recurring charge will be initiated after cancellation becomes effective, except an amount already properly initiated or otherwise legally due.

7. First-purchase refund

You may request one full voluntary refund within seven calendar days after your first successfully paid subscription purchase. This benefit is available once per person and account, applies only to the first paid subscription, and does not reset after cancellation, re-subscription, plan change, account recreation, or a later purchase. If you subscribe again, the checkout may warn that the first-purchase refund is no longer available.

An eligible request can be submitted through the authenticated account page. When eligibility and confirmation are verified, the system may process it automatically through Stripe. The refund is sent only to the original payment method; timing after issuance is controlled by Stripe, the card network, and the financial institution. Issuing an eligible refund immediately ends paid access and cancels the associated subscription. Duplicate or demonstrably unauthorized charges are reviewed separately through estudogenial.ai@gmail.com and any applicable Stripe or card-issuer process.

After the seven-day period, canceling does not provide a refund, credit, or prorated return for unused time, and access remains through the paid period, unless applicable law requires otherwise. Statutory refund and chargeback rights are not limited.

8. Failed payments and grace period

A first subscription does not receive paid access unless its initial payment succeeds. For a failed renewal of an already active paid subscription, Stripe may retry the payment and EstudoGenial may preserve paid access for a seven-day grace period. If payment is not recovered, access returns to the Free plan without deleting the account or study history. You may update billing information through the Stripe portal. Recovery of the subscription may restore paid access.

9. Acceptable use and suspension

You may not attack or disrupt the service; bypass limits or security; use abusive automation; scrape, systematically extract, republish, share, or resell the question bank; infringe intellectual property; facilitate academic dishonesty; commit fraud; abuse chargebacks; misstate age or residence; or create a material safety or legal risk.

For an ordinary remediable violation, we may provide notice and a reasonable opportunity to correct it. We may suspend or terminate access immediately for fraud, attacks, illegality, serious abuse, or security risk. Suspension caused by your violation does not automatically entitle you to a refund, but this does not limit non-waivable consumer rights.

10. Intellectual property and submitted content

The platform, software, design, and EstudoGenial materials remain owned by the operator or applicable licensors. You receive a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the service for your own study.

You retain ownership of original writing and other content you submit. You grant EstudoGenial a limited license to host, copy, transmit, technically reproduce, analyze, and process that content only as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, support, and improve the contracted service and generate requested feedback. This license does not permit us to sell your writing or use it in advertising. Third-party materials remain subject to their respective rights. Copyright notices may be sent to estudogenial.ai@gmail.com with identification of the work, the material, contact details, and a good-faith explanation.

11. Availability, disclaimers, and liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." WE DO NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED AVAILABILITY, ERROR-FREE OPERATION, ACCURATE AI OUTPUT, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR EDUCATIONAL RESULT, OR SUCCESS ON ANY EXAM. These disclaimers do not exclude warranties or remedies that applicable consumer law does not permit us to exclude.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE OPERATOR'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO ESTUDOGENIAL DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. This limit does not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, or any liability, remedy, or statutory damage that cannot lawfully be limited. You remain responsible for checking important AI-assisted content and for decisions made in reliance on it.

12. Privacy, account deletion, and records

Cancellation of billing and deletion of an account are separate. Account deletion is requested through the Privacy Center and may be delayed through a short safety period. Educational content is deleted or de-identified as described in the Privacy Policy, while limited billing, fraud, security, acceptance, tax, or legal records may be retained where reasonably necessary or required by law.

13. Changes

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be communicated through the service or email and may require renewed acceptance before continued use or a new purchase. The version and effective date identify the terms that apply.

14. Governing principles and disputes

There is no mandatory arbitration agreement and no contractual class-action waiver in these Terms. Before filing a claim, you and EstudoGenial should attempt in good faith to resolve it by email. Because the operator is located in Brazil and users reside in different US states, applicable law and forum may depend on mandatory conflict-of-law and consumer-protection rules. Nothing in these Terms waives a non-waivable right, an available small-claims procedure, or a mandatory forum available where you live. The operator does not use this section to require a US consumer to litigate exclusively in Brazil where applicable law does not permit that requirement.
