Terms of Service

Effective date: June 1, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of engsteady.com, the EngSteady mobile app, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Service

EngSteady provides English-language practice tests, AI-assisted grading, and progress tracking. The Service is provided "as is" and may evolve over time as we add, change, or remove features.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Service. By using EngSteady you confirm that you meet this requirement and that the information you provide is accurate.

3. Your account

• You are responsible for keeping your sign-in method secure.
• You are responsible for activity that happens under your account.
• Notify us at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access.

4. Subscriptions and credits

• Some features require a paid subscription. Pricing and billing terms are shown at the time of purchase.
• Subscriptions are processed by Stripe and renew automatically until cancelled. You can manage or cancel your subscription from your account.
• Test attempts may consume credits. Credits are granted with your subscription and are not redeemable for cash.
• Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable once a billing period has started.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Misuse, disrupt, or attempt to break the Service or its infrastructure.
• Access the Service through automated means, scrapers, or scripts not provided by us.
• Share your account with others or attempt to resell access to the Service.
• Upload content that infringes others' rights, is unlawful, or contains malicious code.
• Reverse-engineer or copy substantial portions of the Service.

6. Your content

You retain ownership of the answers and recordings you submit ("Your Content"). You grant EngSteady a non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, process, and display Your Content solely to operate, secure, and improve the Service (for example, to grade your test, show you a review, and analyze quality of grading).

7. Our content

Tests, questions, prompts, audio, branding, and software are owned by EngSteady or its licensors. You may use them only as part of the Service and may not copy, redistribute, or create derivative works without our written permission.

8. AI grading

Open-ended writing and speaking responses are graded with the help of automated systems (including Google Gemini). Scores are estimates and are not an official certification of language proficiency. We do not guarantee that any score you receive corresponds to a score on any third-party exam.

9. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and request account deletion as described in our Privacy Policy. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe pose a security or legal risk.

10. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that grading will be accurate in every case.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, EngSteady will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or goodwill arising out of or in connection with the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

12. Changes to the Service or these Terms

We may modify the Service or these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Service or by email. Continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, except where mandatory local consumer-protection law in your place of residence provides otherwise.
