Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

By creating an account, installing the Oumie Chrome extension, or using any part of the Oumie platform, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use Oumie.

2. Account Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Oumie. To create an account you must provide either a valid student email address or sign up for personal use with any email address. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep your account credentials secure. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or guardian has reviewed and agreed to these terms on your behalf.

3. What Oumie Provides

Oumie is a study tracking platform. It includes a Chrome browser extension that automatically tracks time spent on websites while active, a web dashboard that displays your study analytics and Focus Score, an assignment calendar that syncs with your school's learning management system, an AI Coach that provides personalized study recommendations, and tools to help you understand your habits and patterns over time.

Universities pay for institutional analytics. Students never pay for the Oumie student product.

For university administrators using the Oumie university dashboard, separate enterprise terms apply as agreed in your institution's partnership agreement.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract data from the Oumie platform
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Oumie extension or platform
• Automate installation of the Oumie extension across accounts you do not own
• Use leaderboard or community features to harass, intimidate, or target other users
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with a university
• Transmit malware, spam, or any content designed to harm our systems or other users
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Oumie platform or its infrastructure

By installing and activating the Oumie Chrome extension, you consent to automatic session tracking as described in our Privacy Policy. This includes recording of domain names, session durations, and activity categories across all sites visited while the extension is active, and reading tab titles on supported study sites for assignment matching. You can disable or uninstall the extension at any time to stop data collection.

5. User Content

If you post content in any Oumie community or discussion feature — such as study group notes, comments, or shared resources — you own that content. By posting it, you grant Oumie LLC a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display and distribute it to other users within the platform for as long as you choose to keep it posted.

You are responsible for any content you post. Do not post content that is illegal, harassing, defamatory, or that infringes another person's intellectual property.

6. Intellectual Property

The Oumie platform, name, logo, algorithms, and codebase are the property of Oumie LLC. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use Oumie for your own personal academic use. You may not copy, resell, sublicense, or build other products using any part of the Oumie platform without our written permission.

Your data — your study sessions, assignment records, account information, and anything else you contribute — belongs to you. Oumie LLC does not claim ownership over any of your personal academic information.

7. Termination

You can delete your account at any time through your account settings. Deletion is permanent and triggers de-identification of your user record as described in our Privacy Policy.

We can terminate or suspend accounts that violate these Terms of Service. We will give you notice before termination except where immediate action is necessary to protect the security or integrity of the platform or other users.

8. Disclaimers

Oumie is a study tracking tool, not a source of academic advice. Your Focus Score and AI Coach recommendations are informational only — they reflect patterns in your tracked behavior and are not professional academic counseling. Oumie does not guarantee any academic outcome.

The Oumie platform is provided as-is and as-available. We work hard to keep it reliable, but we do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from loss of data. Always verify important assignment deadlines directly with your school.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Oumie LLC's total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these terms or your use of Oumie is limited to the greater of $100 or the total fees you paid to Oumie in the 12 months before the claim arose.

Oumie LLC is not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data, missed deadlines, or academic outcomes, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

10. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or your use of Oumie will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered in Arizona under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, not in court. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

Two exceptions apply: either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights.

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing oumiellc@gmail.com within 30 days of first agreeing to these terms. Opt-out does not affect any other part of these terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, without regard to conflict of law principles.

11. Changes to Terms

When we make material changes to these terms, we will notify you by email and by displaying a banner in your Oumie dashboard. You will have 30 days from notification to delete your account if you do not agree to the updated terms. Your continued use of Oumie after 30 days is your acceptance of the changes.
