HxAi Terms of Service

These terms describe what HxAi offers, what it asks of you, and what it does not promise. They are a draft: nobody with legal standing has reviewed them, the version below says so, and no revision of this document has been published. They are written to describe what this product actually does today rather than what a product of this kind usually claims.

Version: draft-1-pending-owner-signoff
In force since: Not yet published as a numbered revision.

Nobody with legal standing has reviewed this document. It was drafted so the questions it raises are enumerated rather than open, and the version above says so instead of reading like a settled agreement. What it describes is how this product actually works today.

What HxAi is

HxAi is a learning platform. Adults enroll in courses, learn within them, ask an AI tutor grounded questions about the material, earn records of what they completed, and take part in communities, discussions and events. Some courses are published to a public catalog; others belong to an organization and are visible only inside it.

HxAi is in a free beta. Nothing on this platform is sold: no price, order, payment, subscription, invoice or creator payout is charged, taken or stored anywhere in this product, and enrollment costs nothing. If that ever changes it will be a change to these terms and you will be shown it.

Creating and publishing courses is invitation-only during the beta. Signing up gives you a learner account; it does not make you a creator and does not entitle you to become one.

Your account

HxAi is for adults. Creating an account requires you to confirm that you are 18 or older, and that confirmation is recorded against your account with the moment you gave it. Enrolling, learning, using the AI tutor, authoring, publishing, posting, messaging and every other social action require a verified email address and that recorded confirmation. If you are under 18, this product is not for you and you should not create an account.

You are responsible for what happens under your account. Sign in through a password you keep to yourself, or through Google or Kakao if you prefer — those two are identity providers HxAi does not control, and choosing one means signing in on their terms as well as these. Do not share an account, and do not create a second one to get around a restriction placed on the first.

An account can be suspended or restricted when a moderation decision says so. What that means, how it is decided, how long you have to appeal it and who decides the appeal are all published on the community rules page rather than described differently here.

What you may and may not do here

The conduct rules are the community rules, published in full and linked from the footer of every page. There are eight of them, they are the same eight the report control offers, and there is no ninth rule kept somewhere else. This document does not restate them and does not add to them.

Beyond conduct: do not attack the platform or the people on it. That means no attempts to reach another person's account or data, no automated scraping of the catalog or of anybody's content, no interference with how the service runs, and no use of the AI tutor to produce material that breaks the rules above.

Reports are read by people. Filing reports in bad faith — to harass somebody, or in volume to bury a queue — is itself a breach of the rules and is treated as one.

What you make, and who owns it

You own what you write, record, upload and publish here. Creating a course does not transfer it to HxAi and publishing it does not either. What you grant HxAi is the permission it needs to run the service: to store your content, to show it to the people you published it to, to translate it where you asked for a translation, and to include it in the catalog if you published it publicly. That permission exists so the product can do what you told it to do, and it ends when your content does.

Publish only what you have the right to publish. A rights complaint about a course, a lesson, a video, a set of slides or an image is a report under the copyright rule, and it results in the material being taken down rather than hidden.

One consequence of publishing is worth stating plainly, because it outlives your account. If you close your account while a course you published personally still has learners in it, you are offered the chance to hand it to somebody you work with on it first. If nobody takes it, the course passes to an anonymous platform custodian so the people already learning from it keep their access — with your name no longer on it, and with no way back: custody is one-way and permanent. This is described again in the privacy notice, because it is both a term of this agreement and a thing that happens to your data.

Records of completion are records of completion. A certificate says you finished a course on this platform; it is not an accreditation, not a qualification, and not a claim about you by anybody other than the person who published the course.

Ending your account

You can close your account yourself, from your account settings, without asking anybody. Closing it starts a 30-day period during which you can change your mind: sign-in and your public profile are blocked immediately, and the account is recoverable until that period ends. After it ends, your personal, authentication, AI and direct-message data is deleted, with the exceptions the privacy notice sets out one by one.

You can also take a copy of your data with you at any time, before or instead of closing the account. That is a control in the same place, and the archive it builds names every category it could not include and why.

HxAi may end or restrict an account when a moderation decision requires it, or when running the service otherwise requires it. Nothing here is a promise that this product will run forever; if HxAi shuts down, the honest thing to do is to say so and give people time to export, and that is the intention rather than a term anybody has drafted.

What this product does not promise

HxAi is a beta and is provided as it is. Nobody here promises that it will be available at any particular time, that a feature will keep working the way it does today, or that nothing will be lost. Keep your own copy of anything you cannot afford to lose — the export control exists partly for that.

The AI tutor is a tool and it is wrong sometimes. It answers from the course material it was given and shows what it drew on, and it is still not a teacher, not an expert, and not somebody to rely on for a decision that matters. Nothing it drafts is published by it: every AI suggestion in this product waits for a person to accept it.

Course content belongs to the people who wrote it, and HxAi does not vouch for it. A course about health, law, finance, safety or anything else is one person's teaching, not advice from HxAi and not a substitute for a professional.

HxAi is not an emergency service. If somebody is in danger right now, contact local emergency services rather than reporting it here.

Left open on purpose

Three things a document of this kind normally states are missing from it, and they are listed rather than invented. Each is a fact about who operates this product, and nobody but the operator can supply one.

The legal entity that operates HxAi, which no file in this repository names.
The law this agreement is governed by and the place a dispute would be heard.
The address to write to about this agreement, which is the same owner act the privacy notice's contact section is waiting on.
