Terms of Use

By creating an account or otherwise using Atlas, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you may not use the service.

If you are using Atlas on behalf of an institution, you represent that you have authority to accept these terms.

Atlas turns lecture recordings and uploads into structured study notes, summaries, and transcripts, and lets you edit, organize, and export them.

The service is offered for personal, educational use and is under active development; features may change over time.

You need an account to use Atlas. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You agree to provide accurate information and to notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account.

You agree not to use Atlas to record people without the consent required by law, to infringe others’ rights, to upload unlawful content, or to attempt to disrupt, reverse-engineer, or gain unauthorized access to the service.

You must follow your institution’s policies and applicable laws regarding the recording of lectures — some instructors and venues require prior consent.

Atlas, including its software, design, and branding, is owned by Atlas Co. and protected by intellectual property laws. These terms do not grant you any right to our trademarks or other brand features.

You retain ownership of the audio you provide and the notes generated for you. You grant Atlas the limited permissions needed to process, store, and display your content in order to provide the service to you.

You are responsible for ensuring you have the rights to any content you record or upload.

You may stop using Atlas and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these terms or if necessary to protect the service or other users.

Upon termination, your right to use the service ends, and we may delete your associated content as described in our Privacy Policy.

Atlas is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee that notes will be complete or error-free, or that the service will be uninterrupted.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Atlas Co. will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Ontario, Canada.
