Terms of Service
The rules for using plud. Written like a person, still legally real. Grab a snack.
Effective date: August 1, 2026
TL;DR
The deal
These Terms of Service are a real agreement between you (a person or a company) and plud. They cover your use of the plud study workspace and related services.
By using plud, you confirm you have read these terms and agree to them. If you do not agree, close the tab. That is the cleanest exit.

Who owns what
Our stuff
plud owns the product: the code, design, features, and brand. Those are protected by copyright, trademark, and other IP laws. Looking does not mean copying.
Your stuff
You keep the rights to what you upload. By putting content in plud, you give us a limited license to:
- Store and process your files so the product works
- Use Tina with your materials to generate study tools
- Keep backups so we do not lose your work
- Show your content back to you inside plud
That license ends when you delete the content or close your account.
Keeping it running
| Thing | Our aim | Your side |
|---|---|---|
| Uptime | 99.9% target | Sometimes the internet has a bad day |
| Maintenance | Quiet hours when we can | We warn you when it matters |
| Updates | We ship improvements | Features can shift over time |
| Support | Email reply within 48 hours | Paid plans get priority |
We can change the product
Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows:
- We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages
- Our total liability caps at what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim
- Keep your own backups. We are not your only copy of anything important
- We do not promise perfect uptime, perfect security, or zero bugs
- Output from Tina is provided as is. Treat it as a study aid, not gospel
No magical warranties
If something blows up
You agree to defend and hold harmless plud and our team from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including legal fees) that come from:
- How you use or misuse plud
- Breaking these terms
- Stepping on someone else's rights
- Your User Content
Ending things
You can leave
Close your account anytime by:
- Deleting your account in settings
- Emailing [email protected]
- Cancelling your subscription first if you are on a paid plan
We can show you the door
We may suspend or end access if:
- You break these terms
- You run fraud
- Your account sits quiet for 12 months or more
- The law says we have to
After goodbye
Law and fights
Governing law
These terms follow the laws of the jurisdiction where plud operates, without the conflict of law detours.
How we settle it
Talk it out
Email us first. Most issues die in a normal conversation.
Mediation
If that fails, we try mediation before anyone gets dramatic.
Arbitration
Still stuck? Binding arbitration. Court is not plan A.
When these change
We can update these terms. For material changes, we will:
- Post the new terms on this page
- Update the effective date up top
- Email you when the change is big
- Show a clear notice inside plud
Keep using plud after changes take effect and you accept the new terms. If you hate the update, stop using the Service.
