1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Faithful Tutor ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, you may not use the Service. These Terms apply to all users, including parents, guardians, and students accessing the platform under parental supervision.

2. Eligibility & Parental Consent

COPPA Compliance

The Service currently requires students to be 13 years of age or older. A parent or legal guardian must create all accounts and add student profiles. Only a parent or legal guardian (18 years or older) may create an account. By creating a student profile, you represent that you are the parent or legal guardian of the child and you consent to the collection and use of their information as described in our Privacy Policy.

We plan to expand to younger students in the future, at which time we will implement additional COPPA-required safeguards including verifiable parental consent mechanisms.

3. Accounts

  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
  • You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
  • You must provide accurate and complete information when creating your account.
  • You must promptly notify us of any unauthorized access to your account.
  • One account per family household. Student profiles are managed within a single parent account.

4. Subscription & Billing

Faithful Tutor offers the following subscription tiers:

  • À La Carte: $6.99 per subject per student per month
  • Starter: $19/month, up to 3 students, all subjects included
  • Family: $39/month, up to 6 students, +$7/month per additional student above 6

À la carte subscriptions for individual subjects are billed separately and can be managed alongside or instead of a bundled plan.

  • Free trial: All tiers include a 7-day free trial. Payment information is collected at signup but not charged during the trial period.
  • Payment processing: All payments are processed securely by Stripe. We never store your credit card information on our servers.
  • Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time from your dashboard. Upon cancellation, you retain access through the end of the current billing period. No refunds are issued for partial months.
  • Price changes: We will notify you by email at least 30 days before any price changes take effect. You may cancel before the new price applies.

5. The Service

Faithful Tutor provides AI-powered, personalized tutoring for students in grades 4–12. The Service includes:

  • AI-powered adaptive tutoring across 11 subjects (Math, ELA, Science, History, Health, Geography, Civics, Economics, Fine Arts, Mexican Spanish, French)
  • Faith-integrated content configurable by the parent (three levels: deeply integrated, naturally present, light touch)
  • 8 parent-controlled content toggles for sensitive topics (all default OFF)
  • Placement tests to identify each student's starting level
  • Structured topic lessons generated by advanced AI and cached for all students
  • Kitchen-Table Labs: AI-generated hands-on activities at three difficulty levels (Easy, Medium, Hard)
  • I Wonder: daily Q&A exploration module
  • Bible Study: AI-guided study with 8 study plans
  • Daily Devotionals: 365 pre-generated devotionals
  • Writing Desk: rich text editor for essays with MLA citation builder, print support, and AI-powered essay review via the ELA tutor
  • Text-to-Speech on all student-facing AI content
  • Progress tracking with downloadable PDF reports
  • Parent dashboard with full visibility into all student activity and AI conversations

The Service is intended as a supplemental educational tool and does not replace a complete curriculum, certified teacher, or accredited institution. Academic results may vary.

5a. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

Faithful Tutor uses artificial intelligence (AI) to generate educational content, including tutoring responses, lesson content, lab activities, placement test questions, and essay feedback. While we implement extensive quality controls, AI-generated content may occasionally contain factual errors, inaccuracies, or inappropriate responses. Parents are encouraged to review their children's learning progress regularly using the tools provided on the Parent Dashboard. Faithful Tutor is not liable for educational outcomes based on AI-generated content.

5b. Theological Content

Faithful Tutor teaches from a conservative evangelical Protestant theological framework. Our full Statement of Beliefs is available at /beliefs. Families should review this statement before subscribing to ensure alignment with their values. The platform is transparent about its theological foundation — we teach from one consistent lens rather than attempting to serve multiple theological perspectives. The faith integration level setting controls how prominently faith appears in tutoring, but the underlying theological framework is always consistent with our Statement of Beliefs.

5c. Content Controls & Parent Responsibility

Parents are responsible for configuring content controls for each student. Eight content controls allow parents to enable or disable specific sensitive topic areas (including puberty, sexuality, evolution, mature literary themes, violent war, end times, and mental health). All controls default to OFF. When a control is OFF, the AI redirects questions on that topic to the student's parents. By enabling a content control, the parent consents to their child receiving age-appropriate, faith-integrated AI responses on that topic.

5d. Crisis Detection

If the AI detects that a student may be experiencing a crisis (including expressions of self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or abuse), it will immediately provide crisis resources including the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, Crisis Text Line, and Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline. This safety protocol cannot be disabled and operates independently of all content controls and settings.

5e. Student Writing

The Writing Desk provides a text editor for student essays and papers. The Writing Desk has no sharing, collaboration, or external communication features. Essays are visible only to the student and their parents/guardians. Student-generated content (essays, notes, answers) remains the property of the student's family. We claim no ownership over student work.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws
  • Attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with security features of the Service
  • Attempt to manipulate, jailbreak, or override the AI tutor's safety instructions or content controls
  • Use the AI tutor to generate content that is harmful, obscene, or unrelated to education
  • Allow unauthorized individuals to access student accounts
  • Share your account credentials with anyone outside your household
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any part of the Service
  • Use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to access the Service
  • Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service

7. Intellectual Property

All content, features, and functionality of the Service — including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, curriculum design, and software — are the property of Faithful Tutor and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

AI-generated tutoring content (lessons, explanations, quiz questions, lab activities) is generated dynamically and is provided as part of the Service. You may use this content for personal educational purposes but may not republish, redistribute, or commercially exploit it.

Student-generated content (essays, notes, answers) remains the property of the student's family as described in Section 5e.

8. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that:

  • The Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free
  • AI-generated educational content will be free from inaccuracies
  • The Service will meet specific academic outcomes or grade requirements

While we strive for accuracy in all educational content, AI-generated responses may occasionally contain errors. Parents are encouraged to review their children's learning progress regularly.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Faithful Tutor shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of data, academic outcomes, or any other intangible losses, resulting from your use of or inability to use the Service.

Our total liability for any claim arising from or related to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

9a. Dispute Resolution

Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be governed by the laws of the State of Michigan. You agree to resolve any disputes through good-faith negotiation before pursuing formal legal action. Any legal proceedings shall be brought in the courts of Wayne County, Michigan.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms. We may also suspend or terminate a student's access if our safety systems detect a pattern of attempts to circumvent content controls, safety features, or anti-cheating measures. You may delete your account at any time. Upon termination:

  • Access to the Service will cease immediately (or at end of billing period for voluntary cancellations)
  • All student data will be permanently deleted within 30 days, in accordance with our Privacy Policy
  • You may request an export of your data before account deletion

11. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated to registered users by email at least 14 days before taking effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you may cancel your account.
