Terms of use

1. Who we are

Ebiblo is a publishing and knowledge-check platform operated by Ebiblo Pty Ltd (ABN 60 155 467 833), Sydney, New South Wales, Australia ("Ebiblo Pty Ltd", "we", "us"). These terms govern your use of the Ebiblo website and web app (the "Service"). Ebiblo Pty Ltd also operates Emidox, the engine whose AI agents draft posts, sections and question sets for Ebiblo; where you use both with one sign-in, each product's terms apply to that product.

2. Your account and roles

One account holds two roles: Admin, who owns pages — blogs, documents and quizzes — approves what their agents draft and invites learners, and Learner, who reads and answers them. Anyone can read a public blog without an account; following, liking and commenting need one. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in details secure and for activity under your account. Tell us through the contact page if you think your account has been used without your permission.

3. Learners under 18

Many learners are children. An Admin who invites a learner under 18 confirms that they have the authority to do so — as the child's parent or guardian, or as a school or tutoring centre acting with parental consent — and that they will tell the parent or guardian how the child's answers are used. A learner under 18 may only use the Service through an invitation from such an Admin.

4. Your material stays yours

Anything an Admin uploads or writes — files, prompts, posts, sections and question sets — remains theirs. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to store and process it so the Service can draft from it, mark answers, and show results to the people you share them with; and, for anything you publish on a public page, to display it to anyone, including search engines, AI assistants and the previews shown when a link is shared. A comment belongs to the reader who wrote it, who grants us the same licence to show it on the page it was written on. Learners' answers belong to the learner and to the Admin whose page they answered on. We do not use material, comments or answers to train AI models, and apart from what you publish publicly we do not share them with other customers.

5. AI-drafted content and your approval

Posts, sections and question sets are drafted by a page's AI agents in Emidox from the page's brief and the Admin's material, and written answers are marked by an AI model against an answer the Admin approved. A draft is not shown to readers until a person on the account publishes it — unless the Admin has turned approval off on a quiz page, in which case its new question sets publish as soon as they are written. The Admin is responsible for what their pages publish, whether they reviewed it first or let it publish itself; we do not guarantee that drafted content or AI marks are accurate, complete or suitable for a particular purpose. An AI mark on a written answer is shown with its reason and cannot be changed by hand; if a mark is wrong, the Admin can revise the approved answer and the learner can retake the set. Every attempt a signed-in learner makes is kept and is visible to the Admin and the learner.

6. AI models and providers

Drafting and marking run on AI models from third-party providers — Amazon Web Services (through Amazon Bedrock), OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, xAI and Moonshot AI — which Emidox reaches through our own accounts, so you do not need an account or a key of your own with any provider. Models shown as included in your plan cost nothing extra; other models are paid for with credits (section 8), at the price in credits shown for each model on Billing in Emidox. Which models are offered depends on your plan, and we may add, change or withdraw models as providers change theirs. We may set reasonable limits on AI use for each plan, and will tell you before a limit applies to you. We do not control providers' availability or output.

7. Acceptable use

You must not upload or publish material you do not have the right to use; write comments that are unlawful, abusive, misleading or spam; use the Service to harass, mislead or collect information about people without a lawful basis; invite a learner you have no authority to invite; attempt to access another person's pages, answers or results; or interfere with the Service. We may unpublish a post, section or set, remove a comment, or suspend or close an account, that breaches this clause.

8. Plans and payment

Every account starts on the free plan, which needs no card and has the limits shown on the pricing page; we may change those limits with reasonable notice. Paid plans are charged when you subscribe, with your card entered on Stripe's checkout page. Paid plans are billed in US dollars, monthly or yearly in advance, at the prices shown on the pricing page when you subscribe. Prices are shown before tax; any tax that applies where you are (for example GST or VAT) is added at checkout and shown on its own line. Prices may change with at least 30 days' notice; a change applies from your next billing period. On a Pro plan the account owner pays one invoice for every seat; people on the account never enter a card of their own. You can cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for.

Credits. Credits pay for AI models beyond those included in your plan, and one balance serves your account in both Ebiblo and Emidox. A paid plan includes credits each month, and a new account comes with welcome credits for its first month; included and welcome credits not used by the end of their month lapse. You can buy more on Stripe's checkout page, in the amounts and currency shown when you add them; they are added once the payment goes through. Credits you buy don't run out while your account is open. If you turn on auto top-up in Emidox, your saved card is charged the amount you chose whenever your balance falls below the level you set, up to the monthly limit you set, and you can turn it off at any time. Section 12 says what happens to credits when you delete your account.

Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. If the Service fails to meet a consumer guarantee you may be entitled to a remedy, including a refund.

9. Availability and changes

We aim to keep the Service available on the web — in any modern browser, including when it is added to a device's home screen — but do not promise uninterrupted access. We may change or withdraw features, and will give reasonable notice of any change that materially reduces what a paid plan includes.

10. Intellectual property

The Service, its software, design and name belong to Ebiblo Pty Ltd or our licensors. These terms give you a licence to use the Service, not ownership of it. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer or resell the Service except as the law allows.

11. Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for any loss arising from a third-party provider, from AI-drafted content or marks that an Admin published, or from decisions made in reliance on results. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited, at our option, to resupplying the Service or refunding what you paid for it in the preceding 12 months. This clause does not exclude any guarantee, right or remedy under the Australian Consumer Law.

12. Ending an account

You can delete your account from the Security tab of your Account page once any plan on it has stopped billing; deletion takes effect at once. If the account still holds credits you bought, you are asked first what happens to them: credits from top-ups in the last 30 days can be refunded to the card they were paid with and the rest given up, or you can give them all up. Included and welcome credits end with the account. We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms, and will tell you why unless the law prevents it. On closure we delete material, answers and results as described in the privacy policy.

13. Privacy

Our privacy policy explains what personal information we collect — including about learners — and how we handle it, in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

14. Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of its courts. Questions about these terms can be sent through the contact page.
