TERMS AND CONDITIONS

dheelearn.com Effective Date: 21 April 2026 Version: 1.0

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Dhee application, website, and all related services (collectively, the "Service") offered through dheelearn.com ("Dhee", "we", "us", or "our").

Please read these Terms carefully before creating an account or using the Service. By registering, accessing, or using Dhee, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. DEFINITIONS

2. ELIGIBILITY AND ACCOUNT REGISTRATION

2.1 Who May Register

The Service is designed for children in Classes 3–7 studying under CBSE, ICSE, IGCSE, or IB boards. Only a parent or legal guardian aged 18 years or above may create an account. By registering, you represent and warrant that:

(a) you are at least 18 years of age; (b) you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement under the Indian Contract Act, 1872; (c) you are the parent or legal guardian of the Child for whom you are registering; and (d) all information you provide during registration is accurate, current, and complete.

Accounts must not be created by minors directly. If we discover that an account was registered by or for someone without parental consent, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate it immediately.

2.2 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You must notify us immediately at support@dheelearn.com if you suspect unauthorised access to your account. Dhee is not liable for losses arising from unauthorised use of your credentials.

2.3 One Account Per Child

Each Child may be linked to only one Parent Account at a time. Attempting to create multiple accounts to circumvent usage limits or obtain duplicate free trials is a material breach of these Terms.

2.4 Parental Consent Record

By completing the child profile setup, you provide explicit parental consent for the Service to collect and process the Child's learning data as described in Section 11. This consent is recorded and timestamped in compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDP Act").

3. THE DHEE SERVICE

3.1 What Dhee Does

Dhee is an AI-powered Socratic tutor. Rather than simply providing answers, Dhee engages the Child in a structured three-stage learning loop:

1. Surface — recalling facts and definitions;
2. Reasoning — understanding why and how concepts work;
3. Application — applying knowledge to real-world and cross-curricular scenarios.

Sessions are conducted through a combination of voice (text-to-speech and speech recognition) and text, delivered through the Dhee mobile application.

3.2 Curriculum Coverage

At launch, Dhee covers the Class 6 curriculum aligned to CBSE/NCERT. Coverage for Classes 3–5 and 7 will be progressively released. We do not guarantee that every topic, chapter, or sub-topic within a board's syllabus will be available at any given time.

3.3 Nature of the Service

Dhee is an educational aid, not a substitute for a qualified teacher or school. The AI tutor is designed to supplement, not replace, classroom instruction. Dhee does not award academic credentials, grades, or certificates recognised by any educational board.

3.4 AI Limitations

The Service uses large language model AI. While we take extensive steps to ensure accuracy and age-appropriateness, AI-generated responses may occasionally contain errors, omissions, or imprecise explanations. We encourage parents to review session transcripts and report concerns to us at feedback@dheelearn.com.

3.5 Service Availability

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Scheduled maintenance, infrastructure updates, or circumstances beyond our control (including Force Majeure events) may result in temporary downtime. We will endeavour to notify you in advance of planned maintenance.

4. SUBSCRIPTION PLANS AND BILLING

4.1 Plans

Dhee offers the following plans:

Daily session limits reset at midnight IST. Unused session time does not carry over to the next day. Plan pricing is inclusive of applicable Goods and Services Tax (GST) unless stated otherwise at checkout.

4.2 Free Trial

The Free Trial provides access to up to 5 Concepts at no charge. This is a lifetime allowance per Child profile — it does not reset and cannot be extended. Once exhausted, a paid Subscription is required to continue using the Service.

4.3 Purchasing a Subscription

Subscriptions are purchased exclusively through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store (each, an "App Store"). All billing, payment processing, and receipts are handled by the respective App Store under their terms. Dhee does not directly store or process your payment card details.

By initiating a purchase, you authorise the App Store to charge your payment method on a recurring monthly basis until you cancel.

4.4 Auto-Renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current plan price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the renewal date. You may manage or cancel your Subscription at any time through your App Store account settings.

Dhee does not process cancellations directly — cancellation must be completed through the App Store. Deleting the Dhee application does not cancel your Subscription.

4.5 Price Changes

We reserve the right to modify Subscription pricing. We will provide at least 30 days' advance notice via the email address linked to your Parent Account before any price change takes effect for existing subscribers. Continued use after the effective date of a price change constitutes acceptance of the new price.

4.6 Taxes

Prices displayed include GST at the applicable rate. You are responsible for any other taxes or duties applicable in your jurisdiction that are not collected by us.

5. REFUND POLICY

5.1 App Store Refunds

Because payments are processed by the App Store, refund requests are governed by Apple's or Google's refund policies respectively. Dhee does not independently process refunds for App Store purchases.

To request a refund:

• Apple: Visit reportaproblem.apple.com
• Google: Visit play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions

5.2 Exceptional Circumstances

If you believe you are entitled to a refund due to a technical failure attributable to Dhee (e.g., a Session could not be initiated despite valid quota), please write to support@dheelearn.com with details. We will investigate and, where we determine a failure on our part, coordinate with the App Store or provide equivalent Service credit at our discretion.

5.3 No Refund for Consumed Access

Sessions or Concepts that have been accessed and used are not eligible for refund, regardless of the outcome of the session or the Child's learning progression.

6. USER CONDUCT AND PROHIBITED USES

You agree that you and the Child will use the Service only for lawful, educational purposes. The following are strictly prohibited:

(a) Misrepresentation: Providing false information about the Child's age, grade, or identity.

(b) Account Sharing: Sharing login credentials with persons other than the registered Child.

(c) Automated Access: Using bots, scripts, crawlers, or any automated means to access or extract content from the Service.

(d) Circumvention: Exploiting technical loopholes to bypass daily limits, free trial limits, or access controls.

(e) Reverse Engineering: Decompiling, disassembling, or reverse engineering any part of the application or its AI models.

(f) Harmful Content: Attempting to prompt, coerce, or manipulate the AI tutor into generating content that is obscene, violent, discriminatory, or otherwise harmful or inappropriate for children.

(g) Intellectual Property Infringement: Copying, reproducing, distributing, or commercially exploiting any Content from the Service without our prior written consent.

(h) Disruption: Conducting denial-of-service attacks, uploading malware, or otherwise interfering with the Service's infrastructure.

(i) Commercial Exploitation: Using the Service or any Content for commercial tutoring, resale, or competing product development.

Violation of this Section may result in immediate account suspension or termination without refund.

Every feature of Dhee is designed with the safety and well-being of children as the primary consideration. The AI tutor is strictly constrained to age-appropriate educational content for Classes 3–7. Content safety filters are applied at all times.

9.2 No Child-to-Child Interaction

The Service does not include social features, forums, messaging, or any mechanism by which children can interact with other users. All interactions are between the Child and the AI tutor only.

Dhee personnel and contractors who access session data are subject to strict access controls and confidentiality obligations. No employee directly views live session interactions. Aggregated data may be reviewed for safety and quality improvement purposes only.

10. DISCLAIMERS

10.1 No Educational Outcome Guarantee

Dhee is designed to support learning but does not guarantee any specific academic result, grade improvement, or learning outcome. Educational progress depends on many factors beyond the Service, including the Child's individual learning needs, effort, and school instruction.

Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive or equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm.
