Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of terms

By creating an account or using TeacherAI (teacherai.ca), you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

These terms may be updated from time to time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms. We will notify registered users of material changes by email.

2. Service description

TeacherAI is an AI-assisted lesson planning platform designed for Ontario elementary teachers. The service includes:

• AI-generated lesson plans, student worksheets, reading resources, and assessment rubrics aligned to the Ontario curriculum
• Student worksheet delivery via shareable links (no student accounts required)
• Assessment tracking, grade tracking, and descriptive feedback generation
• Report card comment generation for use with PowerSchool and similar systems
• Teaching slide deck generation

TeacherAI is currently free to use. Paid subscription tiers may be introduced in the future; existing accounts will receive advance notice of any pricing changes.

3. Eligibility

TeacherAI is intended for use by qualified teachers and educational professionals. By creating an account, you represent that:

• You are a teacher, educational assistant, or educational professional
• You are 18 years of age or older
• You will use the service in a professional capacity consistent with your role
• You will comply with your school board's acceptable use policies when using this tool

TeacherAI is not intended for use by students directly. Students interact with the service only through anonymous worksheet submission links shared by their teacher.

4. Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You agree to:

• Use a strong, unique password for your TeacherAI account
• Not share your account with other users
• Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account
• Keep your account information accurate and up to date

One account per teacher. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent usage limits (when applicable) is not permitted.

5. Acceptable use

You agree to use TeacherAI only for lawful, educational purposes. You must not:

• Upload full IEP documents, psychological assessments, or sensitive student records
• Enter student data beyond what is described in our Privacy Policy (names, grade, accommodation notes)
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or abuse the service or its APIs
• Use automated tools to generate content at scale beyond normal classroom use
• Share generated content commercially without attribution
• Use the service in ways that violate PIPEDA, MFIPPA, or your board's privacy policies
• Attempt to access other teachers' data

6. Your content & ownership

You own your content. Lesson plans, worksheets, assessment notes, and other content you create or generate through TeacherAI remain yours. We do not claim ownership of any content you generate.

By using TeacherAI, you grant us a limited licence to store and process your content solely for the purpose of providing the service to you. We do not use your content for any other purpose, including advertising, model training, or sale to third parties.

AI-generated content (lesson plans, worksheets, comments) is produced using the Anthropic Claude API. You are responsible for reviewing and editing all AI-generated content before using it professionally. See Section 7.

7. AI-generated content

TeacherAI uses the Anthropic Claude API to generate educational content. While we prompt the model to align content with the Ontario curriculum, we cannot guarantee:

• Perfect curriculum alignment for every generated lesson
• Accuracy of all factual content in reading resources
• Appropriateness of every generated comment for every student's situation
• Compliance with your specific school board's report card requirements

You are responsible for the professional quality of all content shared with students, parents, and administrators. TeacherAI is a time-saving tool, not a replacement for your professional expertise and judgment.

Report card comments generated by TeacherAI are suggestions based on assessment data you have entered. They are drafted in your voice and require your review and approval before submission in PowerSchool or any other system.

8. Student data responsibilities

As the teacher using TeacherAI, you are the data custodian for any student information you enter. By entering student data, you represent that:

• You have the authority to enter this information as part of your professional role
• You will limit student data to what is reasonably necessary (first name, grade, brief accommodation notes)
• You will not enter full IEP documents, psychological reports, or other sensitive records
• You will comply with your board's policies regarding student data in third-party tools
• You will remove student data from TeacherAI at the end of the school year or upon request

TeacherAI stores all student data in Canada and applies technical safeguards (encryption, Row Level Security, authentication). However, we are not responsible for your compliance with board-level policies — that remains your professional responsibility.

9. Availability & changes

TeacherAI is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee:

• Uninterrupted service availability
• That the service will be error-free
• That AI-generated content will meet your specific needs

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service at any time. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes where possible. TeacherAI is under active development, and features may evolve regularly based on teacher feedback.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, TeacherAI and its operators shall not be liable for:

• Any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the service
• Loss of data, professional reputation, or employment arising from use of AI-generated content
• Any decisions made based on AI-generated lesson plans, assessments, or report card comments
• Service interruptions, data loss, or security incidents beyond our reasonable control

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from these terms or your use of the service shall not exceed the amount you paid for the service in the 12 months preceding the claim (or $0 during any free-access period).

Nothing in these terms limits liability for gross negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot be excluded by law.

11. Termination

You may delete your account at any time by contacting us. Upon account deletion, we will remove your personal data and associated student data within 30 days.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, particularly the acceptable use provisions in Section 5. We will provide notice where reasonably possible.

Upon termination, your access to the service ends immediately. Provisions of these terms that should reasonably survive termination (including ownership, limitation of liability, and governing law) will continue to apply.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of TeacherAI shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ontario.
