Terms and Conditions

1. Provider and scope

These Terms and Conditions (the ‘Terms’) govern the contract between LECTURE GURU, s. r. o., with its registered seat at Bottova 8005/5, 811 09 Bratislava - mestská časť Staré Mesto, Slovak Republic, Company ID (IČO) 57517690, Tax ID (DIČ) 2122824154 (the ‘Provider’, ‘we’), and you, the user of the LectureGuru platform available at lecture-guru.com and app.lecture-guru.com (the ‘Service’).

The Terms apply to both consumers and business users. Where a provision is stated to apply only to consumers or only to business users (including organizations and their members), it applies accordingly. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights that consumers have under mandatory provisions of Slovak or EU law.

2. The Service

LectureGuru is a software-as-a-service platform that uses artificial intelligence to convert text inputs, uploaded documents (PDF, DOCX, PPTX and similar), and web pages into interactive slide presentations with AI-generated voice narration, exportable as narrated videos (MP4) and interactive PDF documents.

The Service further includes: an AI chat and editing interface; automatic monitoring of web pages for changes with e-mail notifications and content regeneration (WebWatcher); automated generation of demo videos from a website you specify (Magic Demo Video); live audience sessions with polls, quizzes and Q&A; integrations with third-party services you choose to connect (for example Notion, Google Drive, Slack); and a public API secured by API keys.

Some features are experimental and marked as such (for example the AI presentation agent). Experimental features are provided as-is, may be changed or withdrawn at any time, and may produce lower-quality results.

We may improve, change or discontinue individual features of the Service. If a change materially reduces the functionality you pay for, you may terminate the contract with effect from the date the change takes effect.

3. Account and registration

To use the Service you must create an account and provide accurate and current information. You can register with an e-mail address and password or through Google or Microsoft sign-in. You must be at least 18 years old.

You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activity under your account. We recommend enabling two-factor authentication, which is available in the account settings. Notify us immediately at support@lecture-guru.com if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

You may create or join an organization (team workspace). Members of an organization can see each other’s name, e-mail address and activity within the shared workspace. The organization’s administrators manage its members, content, billing and credit usage.

4. Plans, credits and payment

The Service is offered as a free plan and paid subscription plans billed in EUR. Current plans, prices and the credit cost of individual actions are shown on our pricing page and in the application; they form part of the contract at the moment of purchase.

Usage of the Service is metered in credits. Generating slides, videos, narration, images, exports and similar actions consumes credits at the rates shown in the application. Paid plans include a credit allocation for each billing period; additional credit packs can be purchased. The free plan includes a one-time credit allocation that does not renew.

Credits have no monetary value, are not exchangeable for cash and are not transferable outside your organization. Credits reserved for a generation that fails are released back to your balance.

Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your card details; payment data is handled by Stripe under its own terms. Subscriptions renew automatically for successive billing periods until cancelled; you can cancel at any time in the billing settings with effect from the end of the current billing period.

If your usage exceeds your included credits and your plan allows overage, the excess usage is charged at the overage rate shown at purchase. We may suspend metered features when your credit balance is exhausted.

We may change prices with at least 30 days’ notice; price changes take effect from the next billing period after the notice. If you do not agree with a price increase, you may cancel before it takes effect.

5. Right of withdrawal (consumers)

If you are a consumer, you have the right to withdraw from a distance contract within 14 days of its conclusion without giving a reason, in accordance with Act No. 108/2024 Coll. on Consumer Protection. To withdraw, contact us at support@lecture-guru.com within that period. You may also use the model withdrawal form in section 16 of these Terms.

By purchasing a subscription or credits and starting to use them, you expressly request that we begin providing the Service before the end of the withdrawal period and you acknowledge that, once the Service has been fully provided — in particular once credits have been consumed by generations you requested — you lose the right of withdrawal to that extent. If you withdraw after the provision of the Service has begun with your consent, you must pay for the part of the Service already provided (credits already consumed).

6. Your content

You retain all ownership rights in the documents, text, URLs and other materials you upload or submit to the Service (‘Input’). By submitting Input you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to host, process, reproduce and modify it solely to the extent necessary to provide the Service to you — including converting documents to text, sending content to the AI, text-to-speech and rendering providers listed in our Privacy Policy, and storing the results.

You are solely responsible for your Input. You warrant that you have all rights needed to use it in the Service, that it does not infringe third-party rights (including copyright and personality rights), and that — where the Input contains personal data of other people — you have a valid legal basis for processing it and comply with your own obligations under the GDPR.

Do not upload special categories of personal data (such as health data), payment card data, credentials to third-party accounts, or data of children, unless you have concluded a data processing agreement with us that expressly covers it.

We do not monitor Input systematically, but we may remove content or suspend accounts where we have reason to believe these Terms or the law are being violated.

7. AI-generated outputs

Presentations, narration audio, videos, images and other materials generated by the Service from your Input (‘Output’) are, as between you and us, yours. To the extent we hold any rights in the Output, we assign or license them to you upon generation. You may use Outputs for your internal and commercial purposes.

Outputs are generated by artificial intelligence and may be inaccurate, incomplete or misleading despite our verification steps. You must review Outputs before relying on them or distributing them, especially for legal, medical, financial, safety or compliance content. We do not warrant that Outputs are correct, fit for a particular purpose, free of third-party rights, or protectable by intellectual-property rights.

Narration in Outputs is synthetic (AI-generated) speech. Where you publish or distribute Outputs, you are responsible for complying with transparency obligations that apply to AI-generated or synthetic content, including Article 50 of the EU AI Act where applicable, and for not presenting synthetic content in a way that deceives its audience.

Similar or identical outputs may be generated for other customers from similar inputs; we make no exclusivity commitment regarding Output content.

8. Acceptable use

You may use the Service only in compliance with the law and these Terms. In particular, you must not:

• upload or generate content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, pornographic or otherwise inappropriate, or use the Service to create such content, including from adult/NSFW websites;
• infringe intellectual-property rights — for example uploading copyrighted material without the necessary rights;
• impersonate any person, or use generated voice or video to deceive (deepfakes, voice impersonation without consent);
• monitor, scrape or generate demo videos from websites you have no right to access or whose terms prohibit it — you warrant that you have the right to submit each URL for monitoring or recording; the automated demo-video pipeline must not be used to log in, purchase, post, submit forms or perform other state-changing actions on third-party sites;
• probe, disrupt or circumvent the security or technical limits of the Service, attempt to manipulate its AI systems through injected instructions (prompt injection), share account credentials, resell access, or use the Service to build a competing product;
• introduce malware or use the Service to send spam or unsolicited communications.

We may suspend or restrict access immediately where necessary to stop a violation, protect other users, or comply with the law; we will inform you of the reason unless prohibited from doing so.

9. Third-party services and integrations

If you connect third-party accounts (for example Notion, Google Drive, Slack, Confluence, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, GitHub or Gmail), you authorize us to access those accounts to the extent of the permissions you grant, in order to fetch or distribute content as you instruct. Your use of those services remains governed by their own terms, and we are not responsible for their availability or conduct.

The Service relies on third-party providers (AI models, text-to-speech, hosting, payment processing and others, as listed in our Privacy Policy). We select these providers carefully, but we are not liable for interruptions attributable to them beyond what is stated in section 12.

10. Intellectual property of the Provider

The Service, including its software, design, templates, trademarks and documentation, is owned by the Provider or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property law. Except for the rights expressly granted in these Terms, no rights in the Service are transferred to you. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service for your internal purposes during the term of the contract.

If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them freely and without compensation to improve the Service.

11. Privacy and data protection

Information about how we process personal data — including the list of our subprocessors, international transfers and your rights — is set out in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which form part of these Terms.

Where you or your organization upload content containing personal data of other people, we process that data on your behalf as a processor. For business users, our Data Processing Agreement (DPA) forms an annex to these Terms and applies automatically upon acceptance of these Terms; it is published on our website and enterprise customers may request a countersigned standalone copy at privacy@lecture-guru.com.

12. Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence, for death or personal injury, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law. Consumers retain all statutory warranty and conformity rights under Slovak law and Directive (EU) 2019/770; those rights are not limited by this section.

Subject to the above: the Service is provided with the functionality described at the time of purchase; we do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation. We are not liable for damage caused by your Input, by your use of Outputs without review, by third-party services you connect, or by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

For business users, our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or in connection with the contract is limited to the amount you paid for the Service in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential damage, lost profit or lost data.

13. Term and termination

The contract is concluded for an indefinite period. You may terminate it at any time by cancelling your subscription and deleting your account in the settings; an account that owns an organization can be deleted after the organization is deleted or transferred. Deleting your organization deletes its content, cancels its subscriptions and removes stored files, as described in the Privacy Policy.

We may terminate the contract with 30 days’ notice by e-mail. We may suspend or terminate it — including cancelling your account — with immediate effect if you materially breach these Terms, in particular where we detect unlawful use of the Service, the uploading or generation of illegal content, attempts to gain unauthorized access to, hack or disrupt the Service, or attempts to manipulate its AI systems through injected instructions (prompt injection); if we are required to do so by law; or if you fail to pay amounts due after a reminder. For consumers, immediate termination is reserved for serious breaches; in other cases we will first ask you to remedy the breach within a reasonable period.

Termination does not entitle you to a refund of fees for the current billing period or of consumed credits, except where these Terms or mandatory law (in particular consumer law) provide otherwise. Provisions which by their nature survive termination (in particular sections 6, 7, 10, 12, 15 and 16) remain in effect.

Export your content before deleting your account or organization; after deletion we are unable to restore it.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may amend these Terms, for example to reflect changes in the Service, the law or our business. We will notify you of material changes by e-mail or in the application at least 30 days before they take effect. If you do not agree with the changes, you may terminate the contract free of charge before the effective date; continuing to use the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms and the contract are governed by the law of the Slovak Republic. If you are a consumer habitually resident in another EU member state, you additionally retain the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of that state, and you may bring or face proceedings in the courts of your home state where EU law so provides.

If you are a consumer and are not satisfied with how we handled your complaint, you may submit a request for alternative dispute resolution to the Slovak Trade Inspection (Slovenská obchodná inšpekcia) or another authorized ADR body under Act No. 391/2015 Coll.; details are available at soi.sk.

Complaints and claims can be sent to support@lecture-guru.com. We will respond without undue delay, at the latest within 30 days.

16. Final provisions and model withdrawal form

If any provision of these Terms is invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect. These Terms are drawn up in Slovak; versions in other languages are provided for convenience and, in the event of a discrepancy, the Slovak version prevails.
