These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Skoliq, including our website, mobile applications, web application, school portals, homeschool tools, teacher tools, study tools, communication features, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).
By creating an account, accessing, downloading, installing, or using Skoliq, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you use Skoliq on behalf of a school, company, homeschool group, tutor center, music school, or other organization, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on behalf of that organization.

2. About Skoliq

It may include features for schedules, subject workspaces, assignments, projects, submissions, teacher feedback, grading, study plans, Pomodoro focus sessions, notes, files, quizzes, flashcards, AI study kits, reports, portfolios, messages, announcements, and progress tracking.
Skoliq may be used by individual learners, schools, homeschool families, teachers, parents, tutors, training centers, review centers, music schools, and similar learning organizations.
3. Eligibility and Minor Users
You may use Skoliq only if you can legally agree to these Terms, or if your parent, guardian, school, teacher, or authorized organization has permitted your use.
- If you are a minor, you may use Skoliq only with appropriate parent, guardian, school, or teacher authorization.

4. Accounts and Security
To use certain features, you may need an account. You agree to provide accurate information and keep it updated. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account, except where caused by Skoliq's failure to use reasonable security measures.
You must notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access, account compromise, or misuse of the Services.
4.1 Role-Based Access
Skoliq uses roles such as student, teacher, parent, guardian, school administrator, tutor, homeschool administrator, and platform administrator. Features and visibility depend on account role, tenant settings, subscription plan, and organization policies.
4.2 Account Deletion
If your account allows deletion, you may request deletion through the in-app settings when available or by contacting privacy@skoliq.com. School-managed users may need to contact their school or tenant administrator because educational records may be controlled by the organization.
5. Schools, Teachers, Parents, and Student Workflows
Skoliq supports both personal study workflows and official school or teacher-controlled workflows.
5.1 Personal Study Work
Students may create personal tasks, notes, study plans, flashcards, quizzes, focus sessions, uploaded files, and practice materials. Personal notes are private by default unless shared, submitted, or attached to official work.
5.2 Teacher-Controlled Work
Teachers, schools, tutors, or authorized administrators may create official schedules, lessons, assignments, tasks, projects, quizzes, flashcard decks, submissions, deadlines, rubrics, feedback, grades, and reports. Students may not edit official teacher deadlines or grades unless the authorized teacher or administrator allows it.
5.3 Submissions, Feedback, and Grading
When students submit work through Skoliq, the submitting user grants Skoliq permission to store, display, transmit, and process the submission for classroom, grading, reporting, portfolio, and recordkeeping purposes. Teachers and authorized administrators may review, comment, grade, return, request revision, archive, or export submitted work according to tenant settings and school policy.
5.4 Educational Decisions

We may suspend or terminate access to Skoliq if we reasonably believe that you violated these Terms, created risk to users, caused security concerns, failed to pay fees, violated applicable law, or used the Services in a harmful or unauthorized way.
You may stop using Skoliq at any time. Account deletion and data deletion requests are handled according to our Privacy Policy, school agreements, legal requirements, and technical backup practices.
17. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Skoliq is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that all content, AI outputs, reminders, schedules, grades, or reports will be accurate or complete.
Skoliq is not a substitute for professional teaching judgment, school administration, legal advice, mental health support, emergency services, or parental supervision.
18. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Skoliq and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, affiliates, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill, academic opportunity, grades, or business interruption arising from or related to your use of the Services.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Skoliq's total liability for any claim related to the Services will not exceed the amount paid by you or your organization to Skoliq for the Services during the twelve months before the claim, or PHP 5,000 if no amount was paid, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
19. Indemnity
If you are using Skoliq on behalf of an organization, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Skoliq from claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses arising from your organization's use of the Services, violation of these Terms, violation of law, or misuse of student information, except to the extent caused by Skoliq's own unlawful conduct.
Individual consumers and student users may have different rights under applicable law, and this section applies only to the extent permitted by law.
20. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
Unless a separate written agreement states otherwise, these Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Courts located in the Philippines will have jurisdiction, unless applicable consumer protection or education laws require a different venue.
Before filing a formal dispute, please contact us so we can try to resolve the issue informally.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If changes are material, we will provide reasonable notice, such as posting the updated Terms, updating the effective date, sending an email, or providing in-app notice. Continued use of Skoliq after the effective date of updated Terms means you accept the updated Terms, unless additional consent is required by law.
