Your agreement with AI POWER ACADEMY 3 LTD.
Swarm44 Science Check is operated by AI POWER ACADEMY 3 LTD., a private company limited by shares registered in England and Wales under company number 16547011, with its registered office at 20 Wenlock Road, London, N1 7GU, England. These terms govern your account and your access to our review instructions and resources. You accept them when you register. A paid order is a separate agreement for the offer you purchase.
The service
You pay for access to Science Check’s scientific-review instructions and resources. Your chosen AI assistant retrieves them through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and follows them to review your work. The analysis, output and discussion take place in your AI provider’s service.
Your order defines the access period, included resources and connection or user allowance. An AI-provider subscription and separately booked human services are not included unless your order expressly says so.
Your account
Registration and sign-in are free. Selecting a plan or creating an account does not place a paid order. Choose Individual or Institution when you register; the account type remains fixed after registration. Individual registration requires you to be at least 14 and have any authorisation required to enter the agreement. Institutional registration requires you to be authorised to create and manage the account and accept these Terms on behalf of the named institution. We do not request your birth date or identity documents.
Keep your sign-in methods and recovery codes secure. Use accounts you are authorised to control and tell us about suspected unauthorised access. Purchases on behalf of an organisation require authority to act for it.
Your AI provider
You choose and maintain your own AI-provider account. That provider supplies its AI service under your separate agreement with it, including its own permissions, usage limits, charges, safeguards and data policies. We do not operate that service or undertake the provider’s obligations.
Signing in to Science Check is separate from connecting an AI assistant to the review instructions and resources. Revoking a connection does not cancel or extend a purchased access period.
Use of the review instructions and resources
Your purchase gives you non-exclusive permission to retrieve and use the resources during the access period and within the user and connection allowance of your offer. You may use them for research, teaching, supervision and editorial work, and retain the findings generated for your work.
The resource files and instructions remain the property of their rights holders. Do not resell, publish or redistribute them, share access outside your authorised users, bypass access controls or interfere with the service. Applicable third-party licences and statutory rights remain unaffected.
Your work
You retain your rights in your research. You provide your material to your chosen AI provider; Access through your AI assistant does not require you to upload manuscripts or AI conversations to this website. Use material you are entitled to process and follow the confidentiality, data-protection and research-integrity requirements applicable to your work.
Review findings
AI findings can be incorrect or incomplete. Check important claims, calculations and sources. Science Check supports scientific review; it does not certify correctness, award grades, guarantee publication or replace human academic judgement. AI-writing signals are not proof of authorship or misconduct. Website examples and animations illustrate the method and do not promise a particular result.
Prices and access periods
Your paid order specifies the included access, total price and applicable taxes, currency, duration, and any renewal conditions. Registration alone creates no payment obligation. The order confirmation records the purchase. Displayed offers and your checkout confirmation determine the price and currency of your order.
Purchased plan days are consecutive and start on the first qualifying service use. Payment, connecting an AI provider and read-only account or access-status checks do not themselves start unused plan days. A top-up during active access extends the applicable paid period. Earned free days have separate activation and rolling 24-hour access rules.
Initial purchases do not renew automatically. Optional auto-renewal requires a separate recurring agreement confirmed through Stripe, showing the recurring price, interval and first billing date. You can turn auto-renew off in your dashboard; access already paid for remains available until its end. Other offers and separately booked services follow their order details. Consumer rights depend on the purchase and applicable law, not on whether you bought as a student, supervisor or institution.
Withdrawal and refunds
Applicable statutory withdrawal rights remain available. Eligible EU/EEA and UK consumers generally have 14 days from the conclusion of an online service or digital-content contract to withdraw. The purchase information states the rights for the offer. Send a clear withdrawal statement identifying your order to the contact below or our postal address before the deadline. No reason is required. Refunds follow the applicable statutory deadlines and payment rules.
Accepting these account terms does not waive withdrawal rights or request immediate paid supply. For qualifying digital content, loss of withdrawal rights requires the prescribed express consent, acknowledgment, confirmation and commencement of supply. Starting an ongoing service does not by itself end the right; any proportionate charge must satisfy the legal conditions. Rights relating to defective supply remain unaffected.
Account deletion, withdrawal, refunds and cancellation of renewal are separate actions.
Access and service changes
We maintain and update our review instructions and resources and can interrupt access for maintenance or security. Changes do not remove the scope or mandatory remedies attached to an existing paid order. Contact us if Science Check access is defective or does not match your order. Your AI provider controls the availability and features of its separate service.
Restrictions and account deletion
We can restrict access to address a security threat, unlawful use, a material breach of these terms or a legal obligation. We explain the reason and allow a response unless urgent protection or a legal restriction prevents this.
You can delete your account in account settings after confirming your identity. Deletion removes the active account and its sign-in records. Purchase refunds and legally retained transaction records are handled separately. The privacy notice explains data deletion.
Responsibility and liability
AI POWER ACADEMY 3 LTD. is responsible for the Science Check access, review instructions and resources it supplies under your agreement. Your AI provider operates its own service under your separate agreement with it. We do not assume responsibility for that provider’s independent processing, outputs, acts or service failures. You remain responsible for how you use and assess review findings.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, our total aggregate liability to you arising from the affected agreement or Service is limited to the greater of US$20 and the fees you paid us for the affected Service during the 30 calendar days before the first event giving rise to the claim. If a claim concerns a prepaid access plan purchased earlier than that period, the purchase price paid for that affected plan is also included when determining the cap. A payment is counted only once. Related claims arising from the same event or series of related events share that cap; multiple claims or legal theories do not multiply it. If the affected Service was provided without payment, including free account use and earned free days, the cap is US$20.
These limits and the exclusions below do not apply to our intentional misconduct or gross negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability that applicable law does not permit us to exclude or limit. Mandatory consumer rights, statutory guarantees and remedies remain unaffected. A separately negotiated agreement may provide a different applicable cap.
Excluded losses
To the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the exceptions in Responsibility and liability, we exclude liability for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive loss or damage. This includes lost profits, lost business opportunities, business interruption and loss of data only to the extent those losses fall within an excluded category under applicable law. These exclusions do not remove nonwaivable rights or remedies and do not excuse our own obligations under your agreement.
Warranties and service limitations
Subject to our express commitments and mandatory rights, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and noninfringement, and do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation. This does not override a mandatory consumer guarantee, a statutory conformity remedy or an express promise in your order. The review limitations above do not remove our responsibility for the access and resources we supply.
Complaints and informal resolution
Contact us using the contact below or our registered postal address about a dispute, identifying your account or order, the relevant facts and the remedy you seek. We will try in good faith to resolve it with you. For disputes covered by the US arbitration agreement below, both parties agree to allow 30 days after receipt of a written notice for informal resolution before starting arbitration.
This process does not prevent an eligible small-claims case, urgent relief, a filing needed to preserve a right, a complaint to a competent regulator or another remedy that applicable law permits without delay. We agree that applicable claim deadlines are suspended during that informal process to the extent permitted by law.
US agreement to individual arbitration
This arbitration agreement and the class and jury waivers below apply only if you are an individual resident in the United States who has reached the applicable age of legal majority, or a business established in the United States acting through an authorised representative. They apply only to this version of the Terms that you affirmatively accept and do not retrospectively alter accrued claims or rights under an earlier agreement. They do not apply where prohibited by law or after a valid opt-out.
Subject to the exceptions below, you and AI POWER ACADEMY 3 LTD. agree to resolve disputes arising from these Terms or the Service by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules for consumer disputes or Commercial Arbitration Rules for business disputes, including applicable mass-arbitration procedures. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this agreement to arbitrate. The rules are available at www.adr.org.
There will be one neutral arbitrator. Consumer hearings will take place in the US county where the consumer lives, or remotely or elsewhere if the parties agree and the applicable rules permit. Business hearing arrangements follow the applicable AAA rules. Consumer fees and the Company’s share of administration and arbitrator costs follow applicable law and AAA’s consumer rules; this clause does not shift prohibited charges to consumers. Business fees follow the applicable rules. The arbitrator may award the individual remedies available under applicable law, subject only to lawful contractual limits.
Either party may use an eligible small-claims court. Nonarbitrable claims and nonwaivable remedies remain available in a competent court. A court decides whether an agreement to arbitrate was formed, the enforceability of the class waiver and any issue that law reserves to courts; other arbitrability questions follow applicable law and rules. If AAA cannot lawfully administer the dispute, the parties may agree on another provider after the dispute arises; without such agreement, either party may use a competent court.
AAA arbitration rules and consumer information
US class and representative action waiver
Where the US arbitration agreement applies, you and we agree to bring covered claims only in our individual capacities, not as a plaintiff or class member in a class, collective or representative proceeding or class arbitration. This does not remove any nonwaivable right or remedy. Administration of multiple individual demands under applicable provider rules does not itself authorise class arbitration.
If this waiver is unenforceable for a particular claim or remedy, that claim or remedy may proceed in a competent court, subject to mandatory jurisdiction rights. It will not become class arbitration without a separate agreement made after the dispute arises. Remaining claims proceed individually in arbitration only to the extent lawful.
US jury trial waiver
Where the US arbitration agreement applies and applicable law permits, you and we knowingly and voluntarily waive trial by jury for covered disputes that proceed in court. This does not waive a nonwaivable right. A valid arbitration opt-out below also removes this jury waiver and the class waiver from this version of the Terms.
US arbitration opt-out
You may reject the US arbitration agreement, class waiver and jury waiver by sending a clear notice within 30 days after first accepting this version of the Terms. Use the email contact below with the subject “Arbitration opt-out,” or write to AI POWER ACADEMY 3 LTD. at its registered address. Identify the account or agreement concerned and state that you opt out; do not send passwords or identity documents.
A timely opt-out applies to both parties, does not close your account and leaves the other Terms in force. These new waivers do not apply to you merely because you previously registered or accepted an earlier version.
Severability and court fallback
An unlawful or unenforceable provision will not be enforced to that extent. Applicable law governs the affected issue, and the remaining Terms continue only to the extent legally permissible. The specific court fallback in the class waiver takes precedence over this general provision; severability does not create class arbitration or remove mandatory remedies. Where arbitration does not apply, the courts competent under applicable law remain available.
Privacy
Our privacy notice explains the account, security, support and purchase information we process. Account and security messages concern the service you request. Marketing consent is separate from account registration. We do not sell your personal information.
Changes to these terms
The version above identifies these Terms. We communicate material changes before they take effect and obtain fresh acceptance where required. New restrictions do not retrospectively alter paid orders, accrued claims or mandatory rights. Existing acceptance records keep their original version; this page alone does not record your acceptance of a newer version. You can save or print this page.
Applicable law
The law of England and Wales governs this agreement, subject to the Federal Arbitration Act for the US agreement to arbitrate where applicable. Consumers retain mandatory protections and court rights under the law that otherwise applies to their agreement. Where arbitration does not apply, a competent court under applicable jurisdiction rules may hear the dispute. We do not require consumers to give up a nonwaivable right to their local courts. The US provisions are not a worldwide waiver of consumer or collective rights.
