⚠️ READ BEFORE USING: Lumi Academy is a personal passion project — an AI-powered interactive learning game created by a parent for their own children and shared with other families for fun. It is NOT an accredited school, licensed educator, or certified curriculum provider of any kind. Using this app does not satisfy any legal homeschool reporting obligation in any state or country.
1. Nature of the Service
Lumi Academy ("the App," "we," "us," "our") is operated by YourSpace LLC, a limited liability company. The App is offered as an informal, supplemental, AI-powered educational entertainment platform — think of it as a very smart educational video game or interactive cartoon show, not a school. It is provided to families as a fun learning companion only. Nothing in the App constitutes formal instruction, tutoring, or academic advising.
2. Not an Accredited Institution
Lumi Academy is expressly NOT accredited by any federal, state, regional, or private accreditation authority — including but not limited to AdvancED, Cognia, WASC, NEASC, or any state department of education. Completion of content in this App does not constitute an official grade, academic credit, diploma, transcript, certificate, or any academic qualification recognized by any institution or employer. Do not rely on this App as your sole homeschool compliance mechanism. Parents are solely responsible for complying with their state's homeschool registration and reporting laws.
3. No Educational Warranties or Guarantees
While we strive to align content with broadly accepted K–8 and K–8 curriculum standards, YourSpace LLC makes absolutely no warranties, representations, or guarantees — express or implied — regarding the accuracy, completeness, appropriateness, timeliness, or suitability of any content for any child's educational needs. AI-generated content may contain factual errors, age-inappropriate suggestions, or incomplete information at any time. All content is provided strictly "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" for entertainment and enrichment purposes only.
4. Broad Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOURSPACE LLC, ITS MEMBERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages of any kind — including but not limited to: educational deficiencies or outcomes; developmental harm; psychological harm; data loss or corruption; service interruptions; errors in AI-generated content; subscription billing disputes; device damage; or any harm to any child or adult arising from use of or reliance on this platform. YOUR SOLE REMEDY FOR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE APP IS TO STOP USING IT.
5. Children's Privacy & COPPA Compliance
This App is designed to be used by children only under direct parental supervision and through a parent/guardian account. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. By creating an account, you represent that you are a parent or legal guardian (18+) who is creating the account on behalf of your child(ren). All data associated with child profiles is entered by you, the parent. You are solely responsible for supervising your child's interactions with the App and any AI-generated content they encounter. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal data without parental consent, contact us immediately.
6. Microphone & Voice Data
Some interactive lessons use your device's microphone for real-time speech recognition to evaluate a child's verbal responses. Microphone access is requested only during active voice-response activities. Speech audio is processed by the device's built-in speech recognition engine or a third-party speech API and is not recorded, stored, or retained by YourSpace LLC beyond the immediate recognition event. We do not build voice profiles or retain audio recordings of children.
7. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer
Lesson content, stories, quizzes, hints, and feedback are generated in real time by third-party artificial intelligence models, including Anthropic's Claude API. This content is algorithmically produced and not individually reviewed by a qualified educator before display. AI systems can and do produce inaccurate, outdated, or contextually inappropriate content. YourSpace LLC disclaims all responsibility for errors, omissions, or any harm arising from AI-generated content. Parents are encouraged to review lessons alongside their children and correct any errors.
8. Subscriptions, Billing & Refunds
Paid subscriptions are billed monthly at the then-current listed rate. Subscription fees are charged at the start of each billing cycle and are non-refundable for any partial or unused period. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings, effective at the end of the current billing period. YourSpace LLC reserves the right to modify pricing at any time with 30 days' advance notice. Continued use after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new rate.
9. Acceptable Use
You agree to use this App solely for its intended purpose of informal family learning and entertainment. You will not: (a) attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or scrape the App or its AI systems; (b) resell or redistribute App content; (c) use the App for commercial tutoring services; (d) attempt to circumvent subscription or access controls; (e) submit false or misleading information during account creation; or (f) use the App in any way that violates applicable law. Violations may result in immediate account termination without refund.
10. Intellectual Property
All App code, design, characters, curriculum structure, and branding are the property of YourSpace LLC and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws. User-generated content (drawings, saved work) remains the property of the user. By using the App, you grant YourSpace LLC a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store and display your child's in-app work solely to deliver the service.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless YourSpace LLC and its members, officers, employees, and agents from any claim, demand, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your use or misuse of the App; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your child's use of the App under your account; or (d) your violation of any applicable law or third-party right.
12. Dispute Resolution & Arbitration
Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or your use of the App shall first be attempted to be resolved informally by contacting us. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR CLASS ACTION PROCEEDING. Arbitration shall take place in the state in which YourSpace LLC is registered. Small claims court actions are exempt from this provision.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the state in which YourSpace LLC is registered, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts located in that state for any disputes not subject to arbitration.
14. Termination
YourSpace LLC reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account at any time, with or without notice, for any violation of these Terms or for any other reason at our sole discretion. Upon termination, your access to the App will cease and any stored child data may be deleted after a 30-day grace period.
15. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via the App or email. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance. The most current version is always available at lumi-learning.web.app.
16. Force Majeure
YourSpace LLC shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disasters, internet outages, third-party API failures (including Claude/Anthropic services), government actions, or other force majeure events.
👨👩👧 TL;DR for Parents:
Lumi Academy is a fun AI-powered learning game we built for our own kids because they didn't love mom and dad as teachers 😄. It covers K–8 subjects in a video game / cartoon format. It's not a real accredited school, it may have AI mistakes, and we're not liable for anything. It's just a really cool tool to make learning fun. Please supervise your kids, enjoy the ride, and help us make it better! 💜
