Terms of Service
Polymathic — web (polymathic.app) and iOS app · Effective 4 July 2026
1. The service
Polymathic is a learning application — a curriculum of concepts, briefs, study questions, and trails for general education. The core of Polymathic is free to use. An optional AI Tutor is available as a paid subscription (see section 6); everything else stays free. By using Polymathic you agree to these terms; if you do not agree, please don't use the service.
2. Accounts
An account is optional. If you create one, keep your credentials safe — you are responsible for activity under your account. You can delete your account at any time from inside the app; deletion is immediate. Our Privacy Policy describes what data an account stores.
3. Acceptable use
Don't abuse the service: no attempts to disrupt or overload it, no probing or circumventing security measures, no automated scraping of the service at scale, and no unlawful use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.
4. Content and ownership
The editorial content of Polymathic (briefs, study questions, trails, design) is © its developer, all rights reserved; it is provided for your personal learning, not for redistribution. Historical artworks displayed in the app are in the public domain and are served from Wikimedia Commons. Some illustrations are AI-generated by the developer. Your own notes and study data remain yours — we store and sync them solely to provide the service.
5. Availability and changes
Polymathic is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind to the extent permitted by law. We may change, suspend, or discontinue features at any time. Your data is always exportable from inside the app, and we operate routine backups, but you should not treat Polymathic as your only copy of anything important to you.
6. AI Tutor subscription
The AI Tutor is an optional paid feature offered as an auto-renewing subscription. Everything else in Polymathic remains free. The price and billing period are shown before you subscribe. The tutor's answers are AI-generated and may be wrong or incomplete — treat them as a study aid, not authoritative fact or professional advice.
On iOS, subscriptions are processed by Apple through your Apple ID. Payment is charged at confirmation of purchase, and the subscription renews automatically for the same period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends; renewals are charged within the 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings → your name → Subscriptions.
On the web, subscriptions are processed by Stripe. The subscription renews automatically until you cancel it through the billing portal linked in the app; cancelling stops future renewals, and access continues until the end of the period already paid for.
Refunds follow the policy of the platform you purchased through (Apple or Stripe) together with any mandatory statutory rights you have as a consumer. Cancelling the subscription does not delete your account or affect your free access to the rest of Polymathic.
7. Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the developer is not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of the service. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, and if you are a consumer you retain all rights granted by mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence.
8. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Sweden, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence.
9. Changes to these terms
If these terms change materially, the new version will be posted here with an updated effective date and highlighted in the app.
