These terms cover use of the Skill Up app (thinking-fluency and typing practice for children). By creating an account or letting your child use the app, you agree to these terms. This is a product description, not legal advice.
1. Who can use Skill Up
- Skill Up is for ages 8 and up.
- Children under 13 must have a parent account linked to theirs. The parent manages consent, reviews learning data, and can revoke access or request deletion at any time (see Parent info & child safety note).
- Accounts are created through our login provider (Clerk) with email + password or Google sign-in. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials safe and for activity under your account.
2. Accounts and roles
- Every account is either a student or a teacher (self-selected; you can switch in settings). There is no separate "parent" account type — a parent is an account linked to a child through an accepted code or invite.
- A parent–child link requires both sides to act: the child generates a short code (valid 24 hours) or the parent saves an in-app invite, and the other side accepts. Invites live inside the app — we send no invite emails.
- Either side can revoke a parent–child link at any time.
3. Classrooms, assignments, and challenges
- Teachers create classrooms identified by a class code and enroll students who join with that code. Teachers can view enrolled students' progress and assignment work, export classroom reports, and remove students (a removed student cannot rejoin until readmitted).
- Friend challenges require parent approval on both sides before they proceed — a challenge involving your child will ask for your approval first.
- Classroom chat (where enabled) is limited to classroom members and visible in the classroom context. Chat is supervised by the classroom teacher; there is no automated moderation — teachers are expected to review classroom messages and remove students who misuse chat.
4. Shared links are preview-only
Parents can create read-only dashboard links and share weekly-insight cards. These links:
- open without sign-in for anyone holding the URL (treat them like a password — only share with people you trust),
- show only a small summary of learning, never the child's full typed writing,
- expire automatically, and can be disabled by the parent at any time (disabling immediately revokes access).
Any future option to share fuller detail will be per-session and require an explicit action — never automatic.
5. Acceptable use
Skill Up is a learning space for children. You agree that you and your child will:
- use the app for learning practice only — not to harass, bully, impersonate others, or disrupt classrooms;
- not enter sensitive personal information (home address, phone number, school name, passwords) into practice text, profiles, or messages;
- not attempt to access other users' accounts, guess or harvest share URLs or class codes you weren't given, or interfere with the service;
- not upload or transmit anything unlawful or harmful (note: the app currently offers no file-upload feature at all).
If an account is used abusively, we may suspend or remove it, including removing a student from a classroom.
6. Content and intellectual property
- Reading passages are generated for practice; your child's typed work remains theirs.
- If you send us feedback (via the in-app feedback form, which opens a Gmail draft you choose to send), you give us permission to use that feedback to improve the app.
- The app, its design, and generated learning content are provided for your personal, non-commercial learning use.
7. AI-generated content
Evaluations, encouragement, passages, and insights are produced with AI (see Privacy Policy §5) and may contain mistakes. They are learning aids, not professional assessments of your child's abilities.
8. Availability and changes to the service
We aim to keep Skill Up available and improving, but we don't guarantee uninterrupted service. We may add, change, or remove features; if a change materially affects children or parents, linked parents will be told in the app.
9. Account closure and deletion
You can stop using the app at any time. To delete learning data, follow Data deletion & contact — requests are currently handled manually by our team (there is no self-service delete button yet). Deleting data in Skill Up does not automatically delete your login-provider (Clerk/Google) account; manage that separately.
10. Disclaimers and limits
Skill Up is provided "as is" for learning practice. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect losses arising from use of the app. Nothing here limits rights you have under applicable consumer or child-protection law.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India. If you have a dispute with us, please contact divit.yadav44@gmail.com first so we can try to resolve it; unresolved disputes are subject to the courts of India.
12. Changes to these terms
We will update this page with a new date when terms change, and tell linked parents in the app about material changes affecting children.
Owner-confirmed defaults (kept visible for review)
- Governing law: India (owner timezone Asia/Kolkata) — §11.

Remaining open items (before publication)
