What this is

A draft Terms of Service at frontend/public/termsofservice.html, served the same way as privacypolicy.html. Google Workspace Marketplace (and OAuth verification, which we hit via Google sign-in) requires a Terms of Service URL on our own domain — this fills that gap for the Google add-on.

It contains only the product-specific clauses. Everything a standard/off-the-shelf ToS would supply is left as clearly labeled [BOILERPLATE] placeholders to paste in later from a reviewed standard document. The prose is written fresh (not copied from the AI-generated privacy policy's voice).

Custom clauses included

  • Eligibility — 18+, with a school-consent path for minors (COPPA "school as parent's agent" model) so we can grow into K-12 later. Effective floor stays 18+ until the school agreement + a minors section in the privacy policy exist.
  • AI-generated suggestions — automated-system transparency (relevant to the EU AI Act transparency rules effective Aug 2, 2026) plus the accuracy disclaimer / user-must-review language.
  • Your content and AI suggestions — user keeps their content; output ownership assigned "as between you and us," without falsely promising AI text is copyrightable.
  • How we use Your Content — limited research license scoped to consented study-logging users, tied to the separate study consent; no general model-training use.
  • Academic integrity — user's own responsibility to follow their institution's rules.

Placeholders left for boilerplate

Introduction/acceptance, accounts, license to use, acceptable use, our IP, third-party services, warranty disclaimer, limitation of liability, indemnification, termination, changes to terms, governing law (Michigan), and contact.

Before this ships

  • Lawyer review of the whole document, especially eligibility/minors and liability.
  • The K-12 path assumes a written school agreement and a minors section in the privacy policy; it also interacts with the IRB protocol (research on minors). Confirm those before enabling under-18 use.
  • Fill in [DATE], provider identity, and contact.

Draft PR — not for merge as-is.

Generated by Claude Code

Adds frontend/public/termsofservice.html containing only the
product-specific clauses (eligibility incl. a school-consent path for
minors, AI-generated-suggestion disclaimer/transparency, content and
output ownership, research-data use, and academic integrity). Standard
boilerplate sections are left as clearly labeled placeholders to be
pasted in from a reviewed standard ToS. Draft for legal/IRB review.
