Terms of Service

The agreement governing your use of the Guiden platform

Effective Date: May 17, 2026
📌
Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using Guiden. By creating an account or accessing the platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are a minor, your parent, guardian, or school must agree to these Terms on your behalf. Schools accessing Guiden on behalf of students represent that they have authority to enter into this agreement.

1. Parties and Agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User") and Color Coded Kids LLC, a Missouri limited liability company ("Company," "we," "us"). The terms govern your access to and use of the Guiden AI tutoring platform, including all associated websites, mobile applications, APIs, and services (collectively, the "Service").

When a School, school district, or educational institution ("School Partner") accesses the Service on behalf of students and educators, the School Partner agrees to these Terms on behalf of its users and represents that it has the authority to do so.

2. Eligibility and Account Types

2.1 Student Accounts

Student accounts are intended for users enrolled in grades K–12 (approximately ages 5–18). Students under 13 may only access the Service through a School Partner that has agreed to these Terms and complied with applicable child privacy laws including COPPA. Students under 18 who access the Service independently (without a School Partner) must have parental or guardian consent.

2.2 Teacher and Administrator Accounts

Teacher and Administrator accounts are intended for adult educators and school staff (age 18 or older). By registering as a Teacher or Administrator, you represent that you are an adult and that your use of student data is within the scope of your professional responsibilities and compliant with FERPA.

2.3 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You agree to immediately notify us at hello@colorcodedkids.com if you suspect unauthorized access to your account. We are not liable for any loss resulting from unauthorized use of your account credentials.

3. Permitted Use

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for its intended educational purposes. You may use the Service to:

  • Engage in AI-assisted tutoring conversations for academic subjects
  • Submit assignments and receive AI-generated feedback and grades
  • Teachers: create classrooms, assign work, and review student activity
  • Teachers: access analytics and student performance data for enrolled students
  • Administrators: manage school-level settings, access codes, and usage data

4. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to, and not to permit others to:

4.1 Academic Integrity Violations

  • Submit another person's work as your own or assist others in doing so
  • Attempt to manipulate the AI tutor into producing answers without demonstrating understanding
  • Share assignment answers with other students in a manner intended to circumvent the learning process

4.2 Platform Abuse

  • Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or extract the source code of the Service
  • Use automated tools, bots, or scripts to access the Service at scale
  • Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any system or network associated with the Service
  • Attempt to bypass rate limits, safety filters, or content moderation systems
  • Access accounts belonging to other users

  • Attempt to elicit harmful, dangerous, or inappropriate content from the AI
  • Share personal information of other students or individuals without consent
  • Use the Service for any purpose other than lawful educational activities
⚠️
All student messages are screened by an automated content safety system before reaching the AI. Messages containing content that violates our safety policies will be blocked and may result in account suspension. Repeated violations may be reported to School Partners and, where legally required, to appropriate authorities.

5. AI Service Limitations and Disclaimers

⚠️
THE AI TUTORING AND GRADING FEATURES ARE POWERED BY LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL TECHNOLOGY THAT MAY PRODUCE INACCURATE, INCOMPLETE, OR CONTEXTUALLY INAPPROPRIATE RESPONSES. AI-GENERATED GRADES AND FEEDBACK ARE ASSISTIVE TOOLS AND DO NOT CONSTITUTE AUTHORITATIVE ACADEMIC ASSESSMENTS.

5.1 AI Accuracy

AI-generated content, including tutor responses, assignment grades, rubric scores, and student KPI analyses, may contain errors. The AI does not have access to real-time information and may produce responses based on outdated or incorrect knowledge. Teachers are encouraged to review AI grades and feedback and apply professional judgment before finalizing student assessments.

5.2 No Educational Guarantee

Use of Guiden does not guarantee any specific academic outcome, improvement in grades, mastery of subject matter, or qualification for any academic program. The Service is one educational tool among many and is not a substitute for qualified human instruction.

5.3 AI Safety Filters

While we implement content safety measures on all AI interactions, no automated system is perfect. If the AI produces content you believe is inappropriate, harmful, or inaccurate, please report it immediately to hello@colorcodedkids.com.

6. Intellectual Property

6.1 Platform IP

The Guiden platform, including its design, software, algorithms, brand elements, and content created by Color Coded Kids LLC, is owned by Color Coded Kids LLC and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the platform without our prior written consent.

6.2 Student-Generated Content

Students retain ownership of the original content they create through their chat messages and assignment submissions ("Student Content"). By using the Service, students (and their School Partners on their behalf) grant Color Coded Kids LLC a limited, non-exclusive license to process, store, and display Student Content solely for the purpose of providing the tutoring service, including AI processing and teacher review.

We do not claim ownership of Student Content. We do not use Student Content to train AI models. We will not publish, distribute, or commercially exploit Student Content without explicit written consent.

If you provide suggestions, feature requests, or feedback about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free license to use such feedback for any purpose without any obligation to you.

11. Disclaimers of Warranties

The service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to 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, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any AI-generated content including grades, feedback, or student assessments.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Color Coded Kids LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your access to or use of (or inability to use) the service, any conduct or content of any third party on the service, any content obtained from the service, or unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content.

In no event shall our total liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to the use of or inability to use the service exceed the greater of (a) the total amount paid by you to us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred US dollars ($100).

Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence, or for any liability that cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law.
