Terms of Service

Welcome to Lyzard. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Lyzard web application and related services (collectively, the “Service”) operated by Lyzard (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Definitions

• “Document” means any PDF file you upload to the Service for processing.
• “Session” means a single document workspace containing your uploaded PDF, paraphrased content, and chat history.
• “AI Features” means the paraphrasing, chat, and parsing capabilities powered by third-party AI models.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent’s or legal guardian’s consent.

3. Account Registration

The Service requires authentication via Google OAuth. By signing in, you authorize us to access your Google profile information (name, email, and profile photo) to create and maintain your account. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately at getlyzard.app@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorized use.

4. Permitted Use

Lyzard is designed to help users parse, paraphrase, and chat with PDF documents using AI. You agree to use the Service only for its intended purpose and in compliance with applicable laws. You shall not:

• Upload Documents that contain illegal content or that you do not have the right to process.
• Use the Service to generate content that is fraudulent, misleading, or intended to deceive (e.g., submitting AI-paraphrased work as entirely your own in violation of academic integrity policies).
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service.
• Use automated scripts, bots, or scrapers to interact with the Service, except through our documented APIs.
• Sell, sublicense, or redistribute access to the Service without prior written consent.
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service or its underlying infrastructure.

5. AI-Generated Content

The Service uses third-party AI models to process your Documents. AI-generated outputs (paraphrases, summaries, chat responses) are provided “as is” and may contain errors or inaccuracies. You are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying any AI-generated content before using it. We make no guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of AI outputs for any particular purpose.

6. User Content & Data Ownership

You retain full ownership of all Documents you upload and all content you create within the Service (notes, etc.). By using Lyzard, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process this content solely for the purpose of providing the Service to you.

Document sessions are stored locally in your browser. We do not store your uploaded PDFs or paraphrased content on our servers beyond what is necessary to process AI requests during your active session.

7. Subscriptions & Billing

Lyzard offers free and paid subscription plans. Paid plans are billed monthly or annually through Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring basis. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. We do not offer refunds for partial billing periods.

8. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, code, branding, and documentation, is the property of Lyzard and is protected by intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use the Lyzard name, logo, or trademarks without our prior written consent.

9. Availability & Modifications

We strive to maintain high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or factors beyond our control. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature of the Service at any time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Lyzard and its officers, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, including but not limited to loss of data, inaccurate AI outputs, or reliance on AI-generated content. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, secure, or available at all times.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time by deleting your account. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or engage in activity that is harmful to other users or the Service. Upon termination, your right to access the Service ceases immediately.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through the Service at least fourteen (14) days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
