Welcome to Instructron, operated by Instructron, Inc. ("Instructron", "we", "us", or "our"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the websites, applications, and services provided by Instructron (collectively, the "Services").
Our mission is simple: Help teachers support every student—efficiently, ethically, and with tools that actually make a difference.

1. Who Can Use Instructron
Age Requirement
To use Instructron, you must be at least 18 years old and agree to these Terms.
Educational Institutions
If you're using the Services on behalf of a school, district, or other educational institution ("Educational Institution"), you represent that you have the authority to bind that institution to these Terms.
If you use our student-facing tools as part of your instruction, your use may be subject to additional agreements between us and your Educational Institution.
2. Your Account and Responsibilities
Account Security
- Provide accurate and complete information
- Keep your login credentials secure
- You're responsible for any activity under your account
Usage Rights
- Limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right
- Solely for educational purposes
- No sharing accounts with others
- No building competing tools
License & Fair Use Policy
Each paid account is licensed for use by a single educator and their students.
- Sharing accounts across multiple teachers, staff, or departments is not allowed and may result in account suspension.
- For school, district, or organization-wide access, contact us about partnership options or multi-license plans.
- We offer generous plan limits designed for real classroom use. If you need clarification or a customized setup, we are happy to help.
AI Usage Policy
Premium includes generous access to all AI tools. While we do not charge per use, excessive or non‑classroom activity that affects service quality may trigger limits under our Fair Use policy. Typical classroom usage is fully covered.
What happens if limits are exceeded? Excessive usage may result in temporary throttling, reduced response speed, or a review of account activity. For most educators using the platform appropriately, these limits will never be reached.
Plan comparison: Essentials adds 100 AI credits to your balance each month (credits roll over while your account is active). Premium includes unlimited AI usage under Fair Use. We define generous, reasonable thresholds to ensure quality for all users.
We reserve the right to interpret and enforce Fair Use limits at our sole discretion to maintain a high‑quality experience for all users.
3. Student Data and Privacy
