Terms of Use

1. Scope and account responsibility

ActivityLock is provided for lawful educational, assessment, training, supervision, and activity management purposes. Account owners are responsible for the accuracy of account information, keeping credentials secure, preventing unauthorized sharing, and supervising how their users configure and use the platform.

Teachers, institutions, and administrators are responsible for ensuring that their use of ActivityLock is appropriate for the age, location, legal status, and consent requirements of their students or participants.

2. Monitoring and exam integrity tools

ActivityLock may include browser focus detection, fullscreen prompts, activity locking, screen or webcam permission flows, PDF annotation tracking, device and browser signals, timing records, activity logs, screenshots or evidence when enabled, live preview features, and related monitoring data. These tools support exam integrity but do not guarantee prevention or detection of all misconduct.

Institutions and teachers decide which monitoring features to enable. They must provide legally required notices and obtain legally required consents from students, parents, guardians, staff, or examinees before using monitoring features, especially where minors are involved.

Camera Monitoring is available only through an active Institution Plan. When an institution enables Camera Monitoring and optional violation capture, the student is shown a camera notice and browser permission flow before the activity starts. A camera image may be captured when a configured violation occurs and made available to authorized teachers or institution administrators as supporting evidence. Institutions must determine whether this processing is lawful, necessary, proportionate, and permitted by their policies before enabling it.

Institution administrators may apply default settings or lock supported monitoring, identity, download, question, and status-report settings for institution teachers. Teachers using an institution account must follow those controls. Institutions are responsible for configuring those controls appropriately and for informing affected users.

3. AI marking and analytics

AI marking, similarity flags, cognitive level labels, review warnings, and analytics are decision-support tools. They may be incomplete, inaccurate, delayed, or unsuitable for a particular exam. They must not be treated as a final disciplinary decision or final grade without teacher or institution review.

Teachers and institutions remain responsible for grading decisions, academic judgment, student accommodations, appeals, and any consequences based on monitoring or AI outputs.

4. Student data and educational records

ActivityLock may process educational records, submissions, marks, exam content, annotations, metadata, logs, and analytics on behalf of teachers or institutions. Where laws such as FERPA, GDPR, COPPA, UAE data protection law, or other local rules apply, the teacher or institution is responsible for using ActivityLock consistently with its legal obligations and notices.

For students under the age of majority, the school, institution, teacher, or authorized administrator is responsible for determining whether parental, guardian, institutional, or student consent is required before use.

5. Acceptable use

You must not use ActivityLock to break the law, infringe rights, harass users, conduct unauthorized surveillance, bypass security controls, reverse engineer the platform, overload systems, share accounts, manipulate monitoring results, upload malicious files, or use the platform in restricted jurisdictions or prohibited environments.

Students and participants must follow the rules set by their teacher or institution. Attempting to bypass exam controls, manipulate device signals, spoof identity, submit unauthorized work, or interfere with monitoring may lead to account restrictions or reporting to the relevant teacher or institution.

6. Device, browser, internet, and third-party services

ActivityLock depends on compatible browsers, operating systems, device permissions, internet stability, Firebase, Google Drive, OneDrive, Stripe, AI providers, email providers, and other third-party services. We do not guarantee that every device, network, browser, extension, firewall, school filter, camera, microphone, or screen sharing permission will work.

You are responsible for testing devices and networks before high-stakes exams. We are not responsible for outages, browser restrictions, denied permissions, lost connectivity, unsupported devices, third-party service changes, or failures outside our reasonable control.

7. Payments, subscriptions, credits, and refunds

Paid plans, add-ons, institution seats, AI marking credits, storage limits, and usage allowances may be billed through third-party payment processors. Payment approval, card authentication, taxes, exchange rates, bank failures, and checkout availability may be controlled by those providers.

Plans differ by activity limits, student limits, maximum duration, monitoring features, helper tools, file and storage quotas, result-delivery tools, and administrative controls. The plan comparison is a summary. The limits displayed at checkout and the entitlements applied to the account govern the purchased service. Institution Plans provide Examiner-level activity limits per assigned teacher plus central seats, teacher invitations and revocation, institution policy defaults and locks, Camera Monitoring, and institution-level reporting.

Monitor Plan pricing is the amount displayed at checkout per month for a one-month term, the amount displayed at checkout per month for a six-month term, and the amount displayed at checkout per month for a twelve-month term. Examiner Plan pricing is the amount displayed at checkout, the amount displayed at checkout, and the amount displayed at checkout per month for one-, six-, and twelve-month terms respectively. Institution teacher seats use the published Institution term rate, subject to the minimum seat and term requirements displayed at checkout. The full selected term is charged at checkout unless the checkout states otherwise.

The beta launch offer is limited to the first 300 eligible paying accounts. A qualifying first paid plan or Activity-credit purchase can establish beta membership; an account uses one membership place. Eligible accounts receive 50% off their first paid plan purchase, including Institution Plans and additional student seats. Eligible beta members receive 50% off every Activity-credit purchase while the beta offer is enabled. Activity-credit discounts are calculated once from the base subtotal: the best applicable beta or quantity discount is used, without stacking. AI token packs remain at their regular price. Eligibility, availability, and the final amount are confirmed by the server at checkout.

Usage allowances reset only as described in the account or checkout. Unused monthly activity allowances do not roll over unless expressly stated. Additional activity credits, where offered, are separate purchases and use the feature level of the active plan. Downgrading, cancellation, expiration, or removal from an institution may reduce available features and storage; users should export or move data before a change takes effect.

AI Marking is available through one-time AI token packs, starting at 500 tokens for $5.00, in 500-token steps at $5 per step. AI tokens can be purchased as needed inside the app after subscription. Institution buyers may choose an initial token pack for each teacher; the minimum is 500 tokens for $5 per teacher. Initial institution AI tokens and their price are multiplied by teacher seats once, and are allocated equally to those teachers. The selected subscription term does not multiply the AI-token purchase. Existing prepaid AI entitlements remain subject to the terms of their original purchase.

AI Page Token prices, pack sizes, discounts, availability, and included AI features may change prospectively because AI providers may change their charges, models, technical limits, acceptable-use rules, or other policies. The price, token quantity, and applicable terms displayed at checkout govern that purchase. A later pricing change will not reduce the number of tokens already credited from a completed purchase.

Additional Activity credits have a base price of $1.00 each and use the features of the active plan. One credit creates one extra PDF or Custom Activity; each purchased credit is used once. Purchases of 1 to 100 credits use the published best applicable discount. Eligible beta members receive 50% off each Activity-credit purchase while beta is enabled, including repeat purchases. The discount applies once to the base subtotal; it is not combined with the quantity discount. The server independently calculates the final amount at checkout, and completed payments credit only the purchased quantity.

AI tokens are usage units. One token AI-marks one PDF page in either marking mode, or one full Custom Activity submission, including its writing answers. Required activity preparation and analysis are included without additional token charges. The server confirms the PDF page count or full-submission count and the token charge before marking. Model selection does not add a capability surcharge. Explicit re-marking uses new tokens. Failed marking releases the applicable reserved tokens. Existing unused tokens remain usable and historical charges are not rewritten. Service input limits may apply to protect reliability, but do not change the stated token unit.

Where a future price change affects an automatically renewing paid service, we will provide notice and any cancellation rights required by applicable law before the changed price takes effect. Continued use after a properly notified change constitutes acceptance only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Unless required by law or expressly stated in a written order, subscriptions, add-ons, and consumed credits are not guaranteed to be refundable. We may correct billing errors, delay fulfillment during fraud review, and suspend access for failed payment, chargeback, abuse, or account misuse.

8. Intellectual property and user content

ActivityLock, its software, design, workflows, UI, documentation, and platform logic are protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, resell, reverse engineer, scrape, or build a competing service from the platform except where law expressly allows.

You retain rights to your uploaded exam content and submissions, subject to the rights needed for ActivityLock to host, process, transmit, analyze, display, export, back up, and secure that content for platform operation.

9. Security, storage, and data loss

ActivityLock uses technical and organizational safeguards, but no system is perfectly secure. You are responsible for secure devices, account credentials, authorized storage integrations, and avoiding malware or compromised networks. We are not responsible for breaches caused by user devices, shared passwords, third-party accounts, browser extensions, or misconfigured institution systems.

Free accounts must connect a supported Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive account before creating activities that require stored files. While a supported Drive is connected, it is the required destination for new uploaded files, including activity PDFs, logos, activity images, student-uploaded images, submissions, and related generated files. ActivityLock may process files in transit and retain identifiers or operational metadata needed to provide the service, but it does not intentionally keep a second ActivityLock Storage copy of a successful Drive upload.

Paid and institution accounts without a connected Drive may use the ActivityLock storage allowance assigned to their plan. If a paid plan expires, ActivityLock provides a seven-day grace period to renew or migrate ActivityLock-hosted files; after that period, those uploaded files are permanently deleted and may not be recoverable. If a downgrade reduces the storage allowance below current usage, the user has seven days to migrate or reduce usage, after which excess ActivityLock-hosted files are permanently deleted oldest first until usage is within the new limit. Files already stored in a user-owned Drive are governed by that provider and are not deleted by this storage-limit cleanup.

Users should keep appropriate backups of important exam materials and exported records. Cloud storage, sync delays, accidental deletion, third-party account disconnection, or provider outages may affect access to files.

10. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

ActivityLock is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted operation, error-free operation, non-infringement, and guaranteed exam integrity outcomes.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ActivityLock and its owners, operators, employees, contractors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, exemplary, or lost-profit damages; lost data; lost exam time; lost opportunity; monitoring disputes; grading disagreements; AI inaccuracies; or third-party service failures.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our total aggregate liability will be limited to the amount paid for the affected service during the three months before the event giving rise to the claim, or USD 100 if no amount was paid, unless a higher amount is required by law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ActivityLock from claims, damages, penalties, losses, and expenses arising from your content, your configuration of monitoring settings, your failure to obtain required consent, your misuse of the platform, your violation of law, or disputes with students, parents, guardians, employees, institutions, or payment providers.

12. Suspension, termination, and enforcement

We may suspend or terminate access, remove content, limit usage, refuse transactions, or preserve evidence where we reasonably believe there is abuse, fraud, security risk, unlawful use, payment failure, harm to other users, or violation of these Terms.

13. Disputes and governing principles

ActivityLock is operated by MYZ LLC, a limited liability company registered in the United States (state of registration: Wyoming), serving schools primarily in the United Arab Emirates.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Where a customer is a school, ministry, or institution in the United Arab Emirates, any separate signed agreement with that customer prevails over this section, and nothing here removes protections that UAE law makes mandatory for that customer.

Before starting a formal claim, the parties should first try to resolve disputes in good faith through written notice to activitylock@madrasatna.com and support escalation. Where legally allowed, disputes may then be resolved through confidential binding arbitration or the competent courts of the governing jurisdiction above. Nothing limits rights that cannot legally be waived.

Contact for legal notices: activitylock@madrasatna.com

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms prospectively. Material updates may be notified through the platform, by email, or through another legally permitted method and may require renewed acceptance before continued use. Changes do not override rights or obligations that cannot legally be waived, and changes to payment terms apply only as disclosed at checkout or through legally required advance notice. The version accepted by a user may be stored with timestamp, user agent, device information, and request metadata for audit purposes.
