How to Contact Us
1. Who May Use the Service
Age. You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. The Service is designed for college and university students. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf, and only that parent or guardian may enter into a paid subscription.
Children under 13. The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly permit children under 13 to create accounts. If we learn that a user is under 13, we will terminate the account and delete the associated information.
Capacity and authority. By using the Service, you represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms, that you are not barred from using the Service under applicable law, and that if you are accepting these Terms on behalf of an institution or organization, you have authority to bind that entity.
Sanctions and export compliance. You may not use the Service if you are located in, or are a national or resident of, a country or region subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, or if you appear on any U.S. government restricted-party list.
2. Your Account
Registration. You must create an account to use most features. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it current.
Security. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at nate@duegooder.com if you suspect unauthorized access.
One account per person. Accounts are personal to you. You may not share, sell, transfer, or license your account or allow others to access the Service through your credentials. Institutional seats provisioned under Section 12 are governed by the applicable institutional agreement.
Account deletion. You may delete your account at any time through Settings → Delete Account. Deletion is handled as described in our Privacy Policy. Deleting your account does not automatically cancel a subscription purchased through Apple or Google — see Section 6.
3. The Service
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial educational use.
The Service currently includes features such as syllabus scanning and assignment extraction, assignment and deadline tracking, calendar sync and AI-generated study blocks, a materials Locker, lecture recording and transcription, AI-generated flashcards and practice tests, semantic search across your notes, and "Duey," our AI study assistant. Features vary by plan and platform and may change over time.
Beta and experimental features. We may offer features labeled beta, preview, early access, or similar. These are provided "as is," may be changed or withdrawn at any time, and are excluded from any service commitments.
Availability. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free. We may perform maintenance, impose usage limits, or modify or discontinue features as described in Section 24.
Fair use limits. We may apply reasonable limits on AI usage, uploads, storage, transcription minutes, or API calls to protect the Service and other users. Current limits, if any, are described at https://duegooder.com/pricing.
4. Subscriptions, Billing, and Cancellation
Plans and pricing. Paid plans, prices, and billing periods are described at https://duegooder.com/pricing. Prices are stated in U.S. Dollars (USD) unless otherwise noted and are exclusive of taxes unless stated otherwise.
Authorization to charge. When you start a paid subscription, you authorize us (or the applicable app store) to charge your payment method the then-current fee, plus applicable taxes, on a recurring basis until you cancel.
Automatic renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period — monthly, semester, or annual, depending on the plan you select — at the then-current rate, unless you cancel before the renewal date. We will send renewal reminders where required by law.
Semester-based plans. If you purchase a term- or semester-based plan, your access period and renewal date are as disclosed at checkout. Semester plans charge on fixed calendar dates disclosed at purchase rather than on the anniversary of your signup.
How to cancel. You may cancel at any time through Settings → Billing, or by emailing nate@duegooder.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You retain access through the end of the period you have paid for. Subscriptions purchased through Apple or Google must be cancelled through that platform (see Section 6).
Refunds. If you are not satisfied with a new paid subscription, you may request a full refund within fourteen (14) days of your initial purchase by contacting nate@duegooder.com. After that period, and for all renewal charges, fees are non-refundable except where required by law. Refunds for purchases made through Apple or Google are governed by that platform's policies and are handled by that platform, not by us.
Price changes. We may change our prices. We will give you at least thirty (30) days' notice by email before a price change takes effect for your subscription. If you do not agree, you may cancel before the change takes effect.
Failed payments. If a charge fails, we may retry, suspend paid features, or downgrade your account. You remain responsible for amounts owed.
Taxes. You are responsible for any sales, use, VAT, GST, or similar taxes associated with your purchase, other than taxes based on our net income.
Chargebacks. If you initiate a chargeback without first contacting us to resolve the issue, we may suspend or terminate your account.
5. Free Trials, Promotions, and Referrals
Free trials. We may offer a free trial of seven (7) days. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, your paid subscription will begin automatically and your payment method will be charged. Trial eligibility is limited to one trial per person, and we may revoke a trial at any time for suspected abuse.
Student and promotional pricing. Discounts, coupons, and promotional rates apply only as stated at the time of offer, may require verification of student status, and may not be combined unless expressly permitted.
Referral program. If we operate a referral program, referral rewards are subject to the program terms at https://duegooder.com/referral-terms. We may modify or terminate the program at any time and may withhold rewards for self-referrals, fake accounts, or other abuse.
6. Purchases Through Apple and Google
If you subscribe through the Apple App Store or Google Play:
Your purchase, renewal, and billing are processed by Apple or Google, and are subject to that platform's terms.
You must cancel through that platform. Deleting the Due Gooder app or your Due Gooder account does not cancel an app store subscription. Cancel via your Apple ID subscription settings or Google Play subscription settings.
Refunds are requested from and granted by that platform under its policies.
Your subscription renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, as disclosed at purchase.
7. Your Content and the Rights You Grant Us
"Your Content" means anything you upload, submit, record, or create through the Service — syllabi, course and assignment information, notes, PDFs and slides, lecture audio and transcripts, brain dump entries, messages to Duey, and AI-derived outputs generated from your materials (flashcards, practice tests, extractions, embeddings, proposed study blocks).
You own Your Content. We claim no ownership of Your Content or of AI outputs generated from it.
License to us. You grant Due Gooder a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, display, transcribe, index, and create derivative works from Your Content solely to (a) operate and provide the Service to you, (b) generate the outputs you request, (c) maintain security and prevent abuse, and (d) comply with law. This license ends when you delete the relevant content or your account, subject to backup retention described in our Privacy Policy.
What we will not do. We do not train, fine-tune, or otherwise modify AI models on Your Content, and we do not permit our AI subprocessors to train their foundation models on it. We do not sell Your Content. See Section 8 of our Privacy Policy.
Your responsibility for uploads. You represent that you have the necessary rights to upload Your Content and that doing so does not violate any law, contract, institutional policy, or third-party right — including copyright in course materials, textbooks, and publisher content, and including any law or policy governing the recording of lectures or conversations.
Recording consent. Many institutions and jurisdictions restrict recording lectures, classes, or conversations without consent. You are solely responsible for obtaining any required consent from instructors, institutions, and other participants before recording, and for complying with all applicable recording and wiretapping laws. We may remove recordings upon a valid complaint.
Backups. You are responsible for maintaining your own copies of important materials. We are not a backup or archival service.
8. AI Features — How They Work and Their Limits
The Service uses third-party AI models to power syllabus extraction, study-block generation, lecture transcription, flashcards, practice tests, semantic search, and Duey. Details on how your data is handled by these providers are in Section 8 of our Privacy Policy.
AI output can be wrong. AI-generated content — including extracted due dates, transcriptions, flashcards, practice questions, explanations, and study plans — may be inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading. Outputs are probabilistic and are not verified by a human before you see them.
You must verify. Always confirm assignments, due dates, exam dates, and course policies against your official syllabus, your LMS, and your instructor. Do not rely on the Service as your sole source of academic deadlines. We are not responsible for missed deadlines, incorrect extractions, failed syncs, transcription errors, or academic consequences resulting from reliance on AI output.
Not professional advice. The Service is a study aid. It does not provide legal, medical, financial, mental-health, academic advising, or other professional advice, and it does not make grading, admissions, advising, disciplinary, or other high-stakes decisions about you.
Labeling. AI-generated content is labeled in the interface as AI-generated.
Availability. AI features depend on third-party providers and may be degraded, rate-limited, or unavailable.
9. Academic Integrity
Due Gooder is built to help you learn, organize, and prepare — not to complete graded work for you.
Your institution's rules control. You are solely responsible for knowing and following your institution's and instructors' academic integrity, AI-use, and recording policies. Those policies vary widely and may prohibit uses that our Service technically permits.
You agree not to use the Service to generate or submit work you present as your own where doing so is prohibited; to complete exams, quizzes, or assessments in violation of applicable rules; to circumvent proctoring or academic monitoring; or to otherwise engage in conduct your institution would treat as cheating or plagiarism.
We are not responsible for academic discipline, grade penalties, or other consequences arising from your use of the Service. When in doubt, ask your instructor before using an AI tool on graded work.
10. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
Violate any law or third-party right, or use the Service for any unlawful purpose.
Upload content that is infringing, defamatory, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, or that depicts or facilitates harm to others.
Upload content containing others' personal information without a lawful basis, or upload protected health information, payment card data, government identifiers, or other regulated data.
Attempt to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, or breach or circumvent any security or authentication measure, except under a written authorization from us.
Access the Service by automated means (scraping, crawling, bots) except as we expressly permit, or use the Service to build a competing product or to train a machine learning model.
Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code or model weights, except where such restriction is prohibited by law.
Resell, sublicense, or provide the Service to third parties, or share account access.
Interfere with the Service, impose unreasonable load, or bypass rate limits, usage caps, or paywalls.
Misrepresent your identity, affiliation, or eligibility for student or institutional pricing.
Use the Service to develop, deploy, or facilitate spam, malware, or fraudulent activity.
Remove, obscure, or alter any proprietary notice or AI-generated label.
We may investigate suspected violations and take any action we consider appropriate, including removing content, limiting features, suspending or terminating accounts, and reporting to law enforcement or your institution where warranted.
11. Third-Party Services and Integrations
The Service integrates with third-party platforms at your direction, including learning management systems (Canvas, Blackboard, D2L, Moodle, Sakai), calendar providers (Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook), and identity providers (Google, Microsoft Entra ID).
We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by these providers or your institution unless we state otherwise in writing. Third-party names and marks belong to their owners and are used for identification only.
Your use of a third-party service is governed by that provider's terms and privacy policy, not these Terms.
We are not responsible for third-party services, including their availability, accuracy, security, changes to their APIs, or termination of access. A change on their end may break an integration without notice.
You are responsible for ensuring that connecting your institutional account to Due Gooder is permitted by your institution's acceptable use policy.
You may disconnect an integration at any time in account settings, and revoke OAuth grants directly with the provider.
12. Institutional and Educational Institution Use
If you access the Service under an agreement between Due Gooder and your school, district, or institution:
That written agreement — including any Data Processing Agreement, security exhibit, or FERPA terms — controls over these Terms to the extent of any conflict.
Your institution may administer, restrict, or terminate your access, and may have rights with respect to data associated with your account.
With respect to student education records processed under an institutional agreement, Due Gooder acts as a "School Official" with a legitimate educational interest under FERPA, 34 CFR §99.31(a)(1)(i)(B), as described in our Privacy Policy.
Individuals may not accept these Terms on behalf of an institution without authority to bind it. Institutional inquiries: nate@duegooder.com.
13. Our Intellectual Property
The Service — including its software, design, interfaces, text, graphics, models and prompts we develop, documentation, and the Due Gooder and Duey names and logos — is owned by Due Gooder or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license in Section 3, no rights are granted to you.
You may not use our name, logos, or brand features without our prior written permission, except to accurately refer to the Service.
14. Feedback
If you send us ideas, suggestions, bug reports, or feature requests ("Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use and commercialize that Feedback without restriction or compensation to you. Feedback is not confidential.
15. Copyright Complaints (DMCA)
We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. To submit a notice, provide our designated agent with the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3).
Designated Copyright Agent Nate Royal, Copyright Agent Due Gooder Inc. 1205 E Washington Street Louisville, KY 40206 United States Email: nate@duegooder.com
We will remove or disable access to allegedly infringing content in appropriate circumstances and will terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. If your content was removed, you may submit a counter-notice as permitted by the DMCA. Misrepresentations in a notice or counter-notice may expose you to liability.
16. Privacy
Our collection and use of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you acknowledge that your information will be processed as described there, including transfer to and storage in the United States.
17. Electronic Communications and Notifications
By creating an account, you consent to receive communications from us electronically — including transactional emails (account, billing, security, and legal notices), in-app messages, and, if you enable them, push notifications. Electronic notices satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing.
You may opt out of optional marketing emails via the unsubscribe link or Settings → Notifications, and disable push notifications in your device settings. You may not opt out of transactional or legal notices while you maintain an account.
18. Suspension and Termination
By you. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time.
By us. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, if your use creates risk or legal exposure for us or others, if required by law, if your payment fails, or if we discontinue the Service. Where practical and lawful, we will give you notice and an opportunity to cure.
Effect of termination. Your license to use the Service ends immediately. We will handle your data as described in the Privacy Policy. If we terminate a paid subscription without cause, we will refund the unused prepaid portion. No refund is owed where we terminate for your breach, except as required by law.
Survival. Sections 7 (license grants that by their nature survive), 13, 14, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 26, and any accrued payment obligations survive termination.
19. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, timely, or error-free; that AI outputs, extractions, transcriptions, or synced data will be accurate or complete; that defects will be corrected; or that the Service will meet your requirements or produce any particular academic outcome.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.
20. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:
(a) Due Gooder and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, academic standing, grades, scholarships, or opportunities, arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages, and regardless of the theory of liability.
(b) Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (i) the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (ii) one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).
(c) These limitations apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.
(d) Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by negligence. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
(e) You acknowledge that the pricing of the Service reflects this allocation of risk.
21. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Due Gooder and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) Your Content; (b) your use of the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; (d) your violation of any third-party right, including intellectual property and privacy rights; (e) your recording of any lecture, class, or conversation; or (f) your violation of any institutional policy.
We may assume exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate with our defense. You will not settle any matter without our prior written consent.
22. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
22.1 Informal resolution first. Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by sending a written notice to nate@duegooder.com describing the dispute and the relief sought. We will do the same. Both parties agree to negotiate in good faith for sixty (60) days before initiating arbitration. This period tolls any applicable limitations period.
22.2 Agreement to arbitrate. If informal resolution fails, you and Due Gooder agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section.
22.3 Exceptions. Either party may (a) bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies, and (b) seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for actual or threatened infringement or misuse of intellectual property or confidential information.
22.4 Class action waiver. You and Due Gooder agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim must proceed in court and is severed from arbitration.
22.5 Arbitration procedure. Arbitration will be conducted in Jefferson County, Kentucky, or by telephone, video, or written submission at your election where the rules permit. The arbitrator's decision is final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Fees are allocated under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules; for claims seeking less than US $10,000, Due Gooder will pay all filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees that exceed what you would have paid to file the same claim in court.
22.6 Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing nate@duegooder.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, the email address on your account, and that you are opting out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
22.7 Changes. If we materially change this Section, the change applies only to claims arising after the change takes effect, and you may opt out of the change as described above.
22.8 Consumers outside the United States. If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction where pre-dispute arbitration agreements or class action waivers are unenforceable against consumers, this Section does not apply to you to the extent prohibited, and you retain any mandatory rights to bring proceedings in your local courts.
23. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and by the Federal Arbitration Act with respect to Section 22. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and Due Gooder consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Jefferson County, Kentucky, and waive any objection to that venue.
If you are a consumer resident outside the United States, nothing in this Section deprives you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the law of your country of residence.
24. Changes to the Service and to These Terms
The Service. We may add, modify, or discontinue features at any time. If we discontinue a paid feature that materially reduces the value of your subscription, you may cancel and we will refund the unused prepaid portion.
These Terms. We may update these Terms. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email to the address on your account, by in-app notice, or both, at least thirty (30) days before the changes take effect. The "Last Updated" date reflects the most recent revision.
Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and delete your account before the effective date. Changes will not apply retroactively to disputes that arose before the change.
25. Apple-Specific Terms
These terms apply if you obtained the Due Gooder app from the Apple App Store:
These Terms are between you and Due Gooder only, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content.
Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund your purchase price. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app.
Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the app, including product liability, legal or regulatory non-compliance, or consumer protection claims.
Apple is not responsible for investigating, defending, settling, or discharging any third-party intellectual property infringement claim relating to the app.
You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government restricted-party list.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
26. General Terms
Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any additional terms you accept for specific features constitute the entire agreement between you and Due Gooder regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements on that subject.
Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions remain in effect.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.
No third-party beneficiaries. Except as stated in Sections 12 and 25, these Terms create no third-party beneficiary rights.
Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, internet or utility failures, and third-party service outages.
Relationship. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship.
U.S. Government users. The Service is "commercial computer software" under FAR 12.212 and DFARS 227.7202. Government use is subject to these Terms.
Headings and interpretation. Headings are for convenience only. "Including" means "including without limitation."
Language. These Terms are drafted in English. Any translation is provided for convenience; the English version controls to the extent permitted by law.
