Terms of Service
These terms apply to all Periagoge AI platforms including Hypatia and Aurelius. By using any Periagoge AI product, you agree to these terms and to our Community Content Policy, which governs what you can and cannot do on our platforms.
Contents
1. The Service
Periagoge AI is a California-based AI education company operating a constellation of AI wisdom platforms including Hypatia (personal development) and Aurelius (executive development), with principal place of business in Carlsbad, California.
The Service provides AI-guided learning and personal development delivered through conversational AI learning partners and through courses, prompts, concepts, tools, and community features.
The Service is designed for personal and professional development and education. It is not a substitute for professional advice. For medical, legal, financial, psychological, or other professional decisions, please consult a qualified professional.
2. Accounts and Eligibility
Age requirement
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are under 18, you represent that a parent or guardian has reviewed and agreed to these terms on your behalf. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we discover we have done so, we will delete it promptly.
Account responsibility
You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Keep your credentials secure and notify us immediately at security@periagoge.ai if you believe your account has been compromised.
You may not create accounts for other people, share account access, or use automated systems to interact with the Service without our written permission.
One account per person
Each person may maintain one account. Creating duplicate accounts to evade enforcement actions is a violation of these terms and will result in termination of all associated accounts.
3. Subscriptions and Billing
Free tier
The Seeker tier provides limited free access. We may change what is included in the free tier with reasonable notice.
Paid subscriptions
Paid plans are billed monthly or annually as selected at checkout. Prices are shown before you subscribe. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled.
Cancellation
You may cancel at any time from your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You retain access until the period ends. We do not offer refunds for partial billing periods except where required by applicable law.
Price changes
We will give you 30 days' notice before increasing the price of your current plan. You can cancel before the change takes effect if you do not agree.
Chargebacks
Filing a chargeback without first contacting us at billing@periagoge.ai to resolve the issue may result in account suspension. We'll work with you to resolve billing disputes fairly.
4. Acceptable Use
You may use the Service for lawful personal learning and development. The following are prohibited:
- Using the Service to harass, threaten, or harm any person
- Attempting to extract, scrape, or systematically copy our content at scale
- Reselling, sublicensing, or providing others access to the Service through your account
- Using the Service to generate content that violates applicable law
- Attempting to reverse-engineer, bypass, or undermine any security measure
- Using the Service in any way that disrupts its operation for others
- Impersonating any person, organization, or AI system
- Using automated tools to interact with AI features in ways that circumvent usage limits
This list is illustrative, not exhaustive. We reserve the right to determine what constitutes a violation of the spirit of these terms.
5. Content Policy and Enforcement
Your use of the Service is subject to our Community Content Policy, which is incorporated into these terms by reference. The Content Policy defines prohibited content categories, graduated enforcement actions, and appeal procedures.
Automated enforcement
We use automated systems to detect and respond to content that violates our policies. These systems may act immediately—including removing content and suspending accounts—without prior human review. Automated actions are subject to human review and appeal.
Appeals
Except for Tier A violations (absolute prohibitions including child sexual abuse material), you may appeal any enforcement action through your account settings or by emailing safety@periagoge.ai. We will review appeals within 5 business days.
Reporting
To report content or conduct that violates our policies, use the Report button on any content or contact safety@periagoge.ai. We investigate all good-faith reports and do not tolerate retaliation against people who report.
6. AI Systems and Limitations
What our AI guides are
Hypatia, Aurelius, and other Periagoge AI guides are AI characters powered by large language models. They are designed to support personal and professional development through Socratic dialogue, wisdom-based education, and genuine examination of your life and work. They are not therapists, doctors, lawyers, or financial advisors.
AI systems can be wrong
AI systems can produce inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading outputs. Do not treat AI responses as professional advice. For important decisions—medical, legal, financial, psychological—consult qualified professionals.
What AI guides will not do
Our AI guides will not generate content that violates our Content Policy regardless of how requests are framed. Certain refusals are absolute and cannot be overridden by any instruction, framing, or claimed context.
AI conversations are not confidential professional relationships
Conversations with our AI guides do not constitute a therapist-client, attorney-client, or any other professionally privileged relationship.
7. Intellectual Property
Our content
All course content, prompts, concepts, tools, AI guide characters and personas, and all other content on the Service are owned by Periagoge AI or licensed to us. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without written permission.
Your content
Reflections, personal responses, and session content you create belong to you. By submitting content to community features, you grant Periagoge AI a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display that content to other community members as part of the Service. You can delete your community content at any time.
Feedback
If you provide feedback or suggestions about the Service, you grant us permission to use that feedback without restriction or compensation to you.
8. Your Data
How we collect, use, and protect your data is described in our Privacy Policy. Key points:
- We use your behavioral data to improve your experience and to develop our AI systems
- We do not sell your personal data to third parties
- You can export your data or delete your account at any time
- We use your data to develop aggregate, anonymized models that improve the platform for everyone
The examined life requires trust. We take the responsibility of holding your data seriously.
9. Availability
We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features. For material changes, we will provide reasonable advance notice.
If we ever discontinue the Service entirely, we will give you at least 60 days' notice and provide a means to export your data.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
- The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind
- Periagoge AI is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages
- Our total liability for any claim arising from your use of the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim
Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties or liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.
11. Termination
By you
You may delete your account at any time from account settings. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Your data will be removed according to our data retention schedule described in the Privacy Policy.
By us
We may suspend or terminate your account for violations of these terms or the Content Policy. Tier A violations result in immediate permanent termination. Other violations follow the graduated enforcement process described in the Content Policy.
If we terminate your account for reasons other than policy violations, we will refund any prepaid subscription amount for the unused portion of the billing period.
12. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these terms will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in San Diego County, California. You consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms. When we do, we will update the date above. For material changes, we will notify you by email at least 30 days before the change takes effect. Continued use after the change date constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
If you disagree with a material change, you may cancel your subscription before it takes effect and receive a prorated refund for the unused portion of your billing period.
