2. Service Usage Rules & Academic Integrity

You agree to use LECFLOW solely for personal, educational productivity. You shall not use the Service for any illegal, harmful, or abusive activities, including but not limited to:

• Academic Misconduct: Using LECFLOW to access unauthorized materials, notes, or recordings during proctored examinations, quizzes, or graded assessments in violation of your institution's academic integrity policies.
• Scraping & Automation: Extracting data, scraping course calendars, or downloading content through automated means (bots, spiders, scripts) to build competing databases or AI models.
• System Interference: Attempting to reverse engineer our source code, probe our network for vulnerabilities, or impose an unreasonable load on our Supabase infrastructure.

3. Third-Party Integrations and External Links

Calendar Syncing

LECFLOW functions by reading calendar links (e.g., public iCal/Google Calendar URLs) you provide. You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to access and sync the calendar URLs you input. We use Google Identity Services to request a short-lived, read-only access token. We never store your Google password or persistent access tokens.

External Video & Recording Links

LECFLOW does not host, store, or distribute any video recordings or lecture slides. We merely fetch and display hyperlinks (e.g., Google Drive, YouTube, LMS links) attached to your calendar events. We have no control over third-party platforms and are not responsible if a recording link is broken, removed by the instructor, restricted by IIT Madras, or if a third-party service experiences downtime.

4. Intellectual Property and User Content

• Your Content: You retain full ownership of the Markdown notes, tags, and personal inputs you create within LECFLOW. We do not claim ownership over your personal study notes. We will never sell your notes or study data.
• Our Intellectual Property: The LECFLOW software, user interface, source code, and branding belong to Shubham Chaurasiya. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service.
• Institutional Content: All copyrights and intellectual property rights regarding the actual lecture videos, course materials, and syllabi remain the exclusive property of IIT Madras or the respective instructors.

5. Fees and Subscriptions

Currently, the core features of LECFLOW are provided completely free of charge. We reserve the right to introduce premium features or subscription tiers in the future. Any changes to the pricing model will be communicated in advance, and you will not be charged without your explicit consent.

6. Warranty Disclaimer

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. LECFLOW MAKES NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY.

• No Guarantee of Accuracy: We do not warrant that the synced calendar events, live Meet links, or recording URLs will be accurate, uninterrupted, or error-free.
• No Academic Advising: LECFLOW is a productivity tool and does not constitute official academic advising. You are solely responsible for verifying your exam schedules and course requirements with official institutional portals.
• Data Loss: While we implement autosave features for your notes, we do not guarantee that your data will never be lost. You are encouraged to periodically export your notes as a backup.

Under no circumstances shall our total cumulative liability exceed the greater of ₹1,000 INR or the amount you have paid us in the past six (6) months.

8. Termination and Suspension

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from your dashboard. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service, without prior notice, if we determine at our sole discretion that you have violated this Agreement, engaged in academic dishonesty using the tool, or attempted to compromise the security of our infrastructure.
