We do not collect any data in general that we do not use in order to provide you with access to the Site or improve your experience and those of other teachers that use the Site. All data that we do have (your name and email, and your actions on the site such as which questions you select), we store securely, at rest and in transit, and we do not sell it to anyone.

Personal Data Ownership 

QuestionWell acknowledges that all personally identifiable information (PII) about students, teachers, administrators, and parents is the property of our customers.

We will not sell or share your information to any third party.

We will not use your information to train large language AI models except anonymized and aggregated to improve our services. If we do that, we will not use your personal information, only information such as what context you uploaded and which questions you selected, or how you edited them. 

Intellectual Property

The Content created by QuestionWell AI, including all Questions, Learning Outcomes, Vocabulary, Text, and exported files (“Content”), can be freely used, modified, and distributed for personal, professional, or commercial purposes. However, unless otherwise specified in your Enterprise plan, if purchased, content cannot be copyrighted because this could result in a conflict if QuestionWell AI produces the same or very similar questions again in the future.

OUR SITE IS OPERATED ON AN "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NONINFRINGEMENT FOR OUR WEBSITE AND ANY SERVICES YOU UTILIZE THROUGH IT.

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CLAIM EXCEED $100.00 OR THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO US FOR SERVICES GIVING RISE TO SUCH DAMAGE CLAIM.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE, CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) SHALL QUESTIONWELL AI (OR ITS LICENSORS OR SUPPLIERS) BE LIABLE TO YOU OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON FOR (A) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOST TIME, LOSS OF DATA, OR (B) ANY AMOUNT, IN THE AGGREGATE, IN EXCESS OF THE GREATER OF (I) $100 OR (II) THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO QUESTIONWELL AI IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THIS APPLICABLE CLAIM.

Acknowledgement for state school systems

If you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of a state school or institution, QuestionWell AI acknowledges that mandatory state law may limit or supersede certain terms and conditions. In such cases, state law will take precedence over any conflicting provisions of these Terms.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Massachusetts, USA, disregarding any conflict of laws provisions. Federal laws, such as the Federal Arbitration Act, remain applicable.

Resolving Disputes

Disagreements or claims related to these Terms will be resolved not in court, but through arbitration led by the American Arbitration Association, and if necessary, the International Centre for Dispute Resolution following their current Consumer Arbitration Rules (see www.adr.org for details). This means:

  • You and we both agree to give up the right to a trial by jury.

  • You and we both also waive the right to proceed in any class action or representative manner; instead, disputes will be resolved on an individual basis by a qualified arbitrator.

The arbitration process will primarily involve the exchange of documents, without the need for in-person or oral hearings unless the arbitrator determines such a meeting is necessary. The arbitrator, or any court upholding an award, is strictly prohibited from granting punitive or other forms of damages not directly tied to the actual damages incurred by the winning party, except where statute mandates. Furthermore, the arbitrator is barred from granting consequential damages in any arbitration initiated under these terms.

To maintain confidentiality, no part of the arbitration proceedings, including the existence, content, or outcomes, can be disclosed without the prior written consent of both involved parties.
