Terms of Service

Last updated: April 13, 2026

These terms govern your use of Gitit ("the Service"), an assignment-authenticity platform operated by the Gitit team ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

Who can use Gitit

• You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum digital-consent age in your country).
• If you are a student under 18, your school or guardian is responsible for your use of the Service.
• Teacher accounts are intended for educators evaluating student writing in good faith.

Accounts

Authentication is handled by Clerk. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials secure and for all activity that happens under your account. Notify us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service to harass, defame, or harm any student or teacher.
• Attempt to bypass authentication, access another user's data, or interfere with the integrity-check pipeline.
• Reverse-engineer, scrape, or resell the Service without our written permission.
• Upload content you do not have the right to share.
• Use the Service to violate any law or your school's acceptable-use policy.

Plans, billing, and Pro subscriptions

Gitit offers a Free plan with soft limits and a paid Pro plan ($5 USD per month or $48 USD per year). Paid plans are sold by our merchant of record, Paddle.com, who handles payment, invoicing, and applicable sales tax / VAT / GST on our behalf.

• Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period until canceled.
• You can cancel at any time from the billing page or by contacting Paddle support.
• Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you keep Pro access until then.
• Prices are in US dollars. Local currency conversion is performed by Paddle at checkout.
• We may change prices with at least 30 days' notice to active subscribers.

Refunds

Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy. In short: we offer a 14-day money-back guarantee for first-time Pro subscribers, no questions asked.

Student data and FERPA

Where applicable, we act as a "school official" under FERPA with a legitimate educational interest in student records. See our FERPA statement and Privacy Policy for details on how we handle student data.

Intellectual property

You retain all rights to the writing you create with Gitit. By using the Service, you grant us a limited license to store, process, and display your content for the purpose of operating the Service (e.g., showing replays to your teacher, generating integrity reports). We do not claim ownership of your work and we do not train AI models on student writing.

Service availability

We aim for high uptime but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. We may perform maintenance, deploy updates, or experience outages. We are not liable for losses caused by downtime.

Termination

You can stop using the Service and request account deletion at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, with or without notice, particularly where student safety is at risk.

Disclaimer

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. Integrity scores and replay analyses are tools to assist teachers — they are not infallible judgements of academic dishonesty. Final decisions rest with the educator.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of competent jurisdiction in India, except where local consumer-protection law gives you the right to bring a claim in your own country.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the date at the top and notify active users in-app. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
