You are responsible for your own Content.

While we perform regular backups, you bear sole responsibility for all data transmitted or stored in connection with your use of the Site. You agree that we assume no liability for loss of or damage to such data and waive any claims against us arising from such loss or damage.

You confirm that you have (and will maintain) all the rights necessary to authorise us to use your Content within the scope of the Service and these Terms.

We do not endorse or recommend any Users or their Content. Your interactions with other Users are at your own risk. We accept no legal responsibility for the accuracy of flashcards or other Content, nor for transactions between Users.

Users are required to pay subscription fees to access certain features and services on rethoria.com. Subscription fees are charged in advance, either through a subscription (monthly, yearly, or as described at the point of purchase) or as a one-time payment, as applicable. Prices, subscription periods, and accepted payment methods are set out in our Service.

All payments on rethoria.com are processed securely through our third-party payment processor Stripe. Users must provide accurate payment information and ensure its ongoing accuracy.

You can cancel your subscription at any time via the Stripe Billing Portal accessible through our website.

By providing payment information, you authorise us to charge the specified amount to the payment method of your choice. If you choose a subscription-based payment model, your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless cancelled. It is your responsibility to keep your payment details up to date.

Discount codes are subject to the additional specific terms set at the time of issue. We reserve the right to terminate or modify discount codes at our sole discretion without prior notice.

You have the right to terminate this contract at any time, regardless of the cancellation of your subscription, by deleting your account as described in our Service. To delete your account, please go to the settings page. Deleting your account will delete all your data, including decks, flashcards, learning history, uploaded files, and other data you have created.

We reserve the right to terminate this contract at any time if:

• you breach this contract;
• fees you owe remain unpaid or are charged back;
• we reasonably believe it is necessary to protect you, us, or others;
• we are required to do so by applicable law or regulation, or to comply with an order, instruction, or request from a competent authority.

We cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free performance of the Service.

Where you are a consumer, you are liable for any reasonably foreseeable loss or damage we suffer (including third-party claims) arising from your breach of this contract or misuse of our Service.

You retain ownership of the intellectual property rights in your flashcards and all Content you submit to us for display on our Service.

We may collect and analyse data about the use of our services, including flashcards created and learning progress, to optimise our platform and for analytics purposes. This data may also be used to improve our AI models and algorithms. You can rest assured that this analysis is performed in aggregated and anonymised form to protect your privacy.

You also authorise us to take all necessary legal steps to protect your intellectual property rights in the Content. In addition, to the extent permitted by law, you waive all moral rights associated with the Content.

If you share your flashcards or other Content, you grant our other Users the right to use your Content in accordance with these Terms.

Rethoria is not liable for materials uploaded by Users.

Rethoria is not liable for external links (e.g. YouTube, PDFs, URLs) provided by Users.

By uploading learning material or providing external links, Users of the platform confirm that they hold the necessary usage rights and do not commit any copyright infringement.

Users may only use Content to the extent necessary or appropriate for the proper use of the Service. In particular, Users may not reproduce, download, or distribute Content to third parties.

The Content and services of Rethoria must not be used abusively.

Users are responsible for all materials they upload, distribute, or make accessible on this platform. Users acknowledge and agree that the service provider is under no obligation to review or filter these materials.

Rethoria reserves the right to delete any User Content on the platform without giving reasons.

By using this platform, the User agrees that their data, including uploaded Content, may be transferred to and stored on servers in various regions worldwide, including EU and non-EU countries, for processing. The service provider will take appropriate measures to protect the data in accordance with applicable regulations, but the User acknowledges that the data may be subject to the laws of the respective jurisdiction in which it is processed.

The flashcards, quizzes, and summaries generated by Rethoria are created with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Although we strive for high accuracy, AI-generated content may contain errors or inaccuracies. Rethoria makes no warranty as to the correctness or completeness of generated Content and it does not constitute professional (medical, legal, financial, or educational) advice.

Users may set a desired grade or learning goal within the platform. Rethoria does not guarantee that using the platform will result in achieving this goal. Learning outcomes depend on various factors, including individual study habits, correct self-assessment during study sessions, and external influences beyond the control of the platform.

Passing on or publicly sharing learning Content generated based on uploaded material (e.g. by sharing flashcard decks with other Users) is only permitted where the User owns the rights to the source material or has corresponding permission from the rights holder.

The platform operator reserves the right to review and, where necessary, remove Content in cases of a justified suspicion of copyright infringement, and to suspend corresponding User accounts.

Our subscriptions enable generous document uploads for automated creation of flashcards, quizzes, and summaries. However, to ensure fair use and prevent abuse, this offer is subject to a fair-use policy. The internal limit on processed documents is set so that Users can comfortably process an entire semester’s worth of material. This limit serves to ensure system integrity, quality of service for all Users, and cost control. If this limit is reached, the ability to upload further documents is temporarily restricted. Customers who have reached their limit are asked to contact us to request re-activation for further uploads. This measure ensures continuous and fair access to our services for all Users.

This contract is subject to German law, and any disputes will be decided exclusively by the courts of Germany. Where you are a consumer, you benefit from the protective provisions of the mandatory law of your country of residence. These Terms do not affect your right as a consumer to rely on such mandatory provisions of national law.

For complaints, please contact us using the contact details provided below.

Consumers within the EU have a statutory right of withdrawal. The full cancellation policy, including the consequences of withdrawal and the sample cancellation form, can be found on our separate Cancellation Policy page. /widerruf
