Terms of service

These terms are the agreement between you and Johannes Schießl, who runs Memorics (“we”, “us”; see the Impressum), about using Memorics. How we handle your data is explained in the privacy policy.

1. The agreement

You agree to these terms after you sign in to Memorics for the first time, by ticking the box that you agree to them and choosing Continue. We record which version of the terms you agreed to, and when. The agreement is in English. These terms are always available at memorics.app/terms. We don’t keep a separate copy of your agreement for you, so save or print this page if you’d like one.

2. Who can use Memorics

You must be at least 16 years old. If you’re under 18, you need the permission of a parent or guardian. You may have one account, for yourself. Memorics is made for your own studying.

3. What Memorics offers

Memorics helps you study: you organize what you learn in topics, add sources such as files and links, make cards from them, by hand or with the assistant, and review the cards on a schedule that adapts to how well you know them. You can plan for exams, share or publish topics, and add friends. The help describes every feature.

We keep improving Memorics, so features can change, be added or be removed. We tell you in advance about changes that matter for how you use it.

4. Plans

Memorics has two plans. Their limits are on the pricing page.

• Free costs nothing.
• Plus gives you more of the assistant, the Premium model, more storage and more. It isn’t for sale yet. Every new account gets Plus for its first week, and we may give you Plus for free for a while, for example when you ask for early access. When that time ends, your account moves to Free on its own. You are never charged.

If you go over a limit of your plan, Memorics doesn’t let you add more until there is room again. Nothing is deleted because of it. When Plus goes on sale, buying it will come with its own terms, which apply only if you buy it.

5. Your account

You sign in with your Google account, so keep it secure. If you think someone else is using your Memorics account, sign out the device in Settings and tell us.

Your username is shown to everyone signed in to Memorics. Don’t choose one that pretends to be someone else, insults others or breaks the law. If it does, we may ask you to change it, or change it ourselves.

6. Your content

What you upload and make in Memorics stays yours: your topics, cards, sources, exams and chats with the assistant.

So that we can run Memorics for you, you allow us to store, copy and process your content, also with the AI providers named in the privacy policy, and to show it to you. When you share a topic by link or publish it, you also allow us to show its cards (with their images) and subtopics to other people signed in to Memorics, and allow them to study them in Memorics: open them, pin them, review the cards and use the assistant on them. This permission is free and not exclusive. It ends when you stop sharing or publishing the topic, or delete the content or your account.

Your sources are always only yours. People who open a topic you shared or published see its cards, never its sources.

7. Copyright: what you may upload and publish

Only upload what you’re allowed to use, and only share or publish what you’re allowed to show to others. The two aren’t the same:

• For your own studying, you may usually add material you got legitimately, such as your lecture slides or your own notes. Copying a whole book is often not allowed even for yourself.
• For a topic you share or publish, its cards and their images become visible to others. Only share or publish what you made yourself, or what you have permission to show publicly or what is freely licensed. Don’t put copied pages, other people’s slides, photos of book pages or other people’s images on cards you share or publish, unless you have permission.

You are responsible for the content you upload, share and publish. If someone claims that your content infringes their rights, we may remove it or stop showing it to others (see section 9).

8. Rules

Don’t use Memorics to:

• upload, share or publish anything illegal, or anything that infringes the rights of others
• harass, threaten or insult others, or spread hatred against people
• share sexual content, or anything that endangers children or young people
• advertise or spam, also not in published topics or usernames
• spread malware, attack Memorics or other users, or try to get around its security or the limits of your plan, for example with several accounts
• access Memorics with automated tools, except your own normal use of the app

9. Reporting content and what we do about it

Reporting. If you find content in Memorics that you think is illegal, for example a published topic that infringes your copyright, report it to legal@memorics.app with:

• the link to the topic or card
• why you think it’s illegal
• your name and email address (you can leave them out when reporting content showing the sexual abuse of children)
• a statement that you believe in good faith that your report is correct and complete

We confirm that we got your report, look at it carefully and without undue delay, and tell you what we decided.

How we decide. Every report and every decision is handled by a person. We don’t use automated tools to moderate content. We look at whether content is illegal or breaks these terms, and take your rights and those of others, such as freedom of expression, into account.

What we may do. Depending on how serious it is, we may remove content, stop showing it to others, unpublish or unshare a topic, change a username, temporarily suspend an account, or close it. We close the accounts of people who repeatedly upload or publish illegal content. Where the law requires it, we report crimes to the authorities.

Your rights. If we restrict your content or account, we tell you what we did and why, unless the law forbids it. If you disagree, reply to our message: a person will look at the decision again. You can also go to court.

10. The assistant and AI

The assistant is an AI. It answers questions, makes cards and can change your topics and cards for you. Depending on your settings, it asks you before it changes something, and you can undo its changes.

What the assistant writes, including the cards it makes, can be wrong or incomplete. Check it before you rely on it, especially for an exam. Memorics is a study aid: it doesn’t give professional advice and can’t promise you a grade. Its estimates, such as how ready you are for an exam, are estimates. How much you can use the assistant depends on your plan.

11. Availability

We work to keep Memorics running and your data safe, but Memorics is offered for free and we can’t promise that it’s always available or free of errors, for example during maintenance. Memorics isn’t a backup: keep your own copies of files that are important to you.

If we stop offering Memorics, we tell you at least 30 days in advance, so you have time to download your files.

12. Ending the agreement

You can end the agreement at any time by deleting your account under Settings, Account, Delete account. This deletes your account and everything in it.

We can end the agreement with at least 30 days’ notice. We can end it immediately, and close your account, for an important reason, especially a serious or repeated breach of these terms.

When the agreement ends, your data is deleted as the privacy policy describes.

13. Liability

We are liable without limit for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz), and where we gave a guarantee.

For damage caused through slight negligence, we are only liable if we breach an obligation that is essential for the agreement and that you may regularly rely on, and only for the damage that is typical and foreseeable for such an agreement. As long as you use Memorics for free, we are, beyond the cases in the first paragraph, liable only for intent and gross negligence.

If you break these terms through your own fault, for example by publishing content that infringes the rights of others, you are liable for the damage that causes us.

14. Changes to these terms

If we want to change these terms, we tell you what changes at least 30 days before the new terms take effect, by email or in the app. From that day, Memorics asks you to agree to the new terms before you go on using it. You can read them before you decide.

If you don’t agree, you can’t go on using Memorics, and the agreement ends on that day: our message about the change is also our notice that we end it (section 12). Until you delete your account, you can still sign in and agree after all, and the agreement continues, or delete your account and everything in it.

Fixing mistakes, such as a typo or a contact address, isn’t a change you need to agree to.

15. Law and disputes

German law applies. If you’re a consumer living in another country, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of that country.

We are neither willing nor obliged to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

If a part of these terms is invalid, the rest stays valid.
