Terms of Service

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and ("Due Next," "we," "us"), based in , USA. They cover your use of the Due Next website and app at duenextapp.com (also reachable at duenextapp.web.app) and any related apps and services (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

2. Who can use Due Next

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. We do not knowingly allow anyone under 13 to create an account. If you are between 13 and 17, you may use the Service only with the permission of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. A paid plan must be bought by a parent or guardian if you are under 18. If we learn that someone under 13 has an account, we will delete it. Clubs are only for people 18 and older. We ask your birth month and year to confirm this and store only whether you passed. [NEEDS ATTORNEY REVIEW]

3. Your account

You sign in with a third-party account such as Google (or Apple, when available). Your use of that account is also subject to that provider's terms.
One account is for one person. Don't share your sign-in or let others use your account.
You're responsible for activity on your account and for keeping your device and sign-in secure. Tell us right away if you think someone else has accessed your account.

4. What Due Next does

Due Next is a personal organizer for students. It helps you track classes, assignments, readings, due dates, time estimates, notes and grades, and includes tools like a focus timer. Due Next is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any school, college, university, professor or learning platform (such as Canvas), unless we clearly say so. It also includes Clubs, where student clubs can share events, chat, take attendance and plan meetings.

The Service is new and still being improved. Features may be added, changed or removed over time. Some features are labeled "coming soon" and are not yet available.

5. AI features and accuracy

Some features use artificial intelligence, such as reading a syllabus (or a club flyer) you upload and suggesting assignments, dates, grade weights and time estimates. You agree that:

AI output can be wrong or incomplete. It may miss items, misread dates, or produce estimates that don't match your situation. You must review everything before relying on it. The Service shows you a review screen for this purpose.
Your official sources control. Your syllabus, your school's systems (like Canvas) and your instructors are the official source for deadlines, requirements and grading. If Due Next differs from them, they are right.
You are responsible for your academic work. This includes meeting deadlines, submitting work and your grades. Grade projections and "what you need" calculations are estimates only.
To provide AI features, the content you submit (for example, syllabus text or page images) is sent to our AI provider for processing, as described in the Privacy Policy.
You must follow your school's academic integrity rules. Due Next is an organizing tool and is not meant to complete coursework for you.

6. Your content

You own your content, meaning the classes, assignments, notes, grades, files and other material you add ("Your Content"). You give us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free permission to host, store, copy, process and display Your Content only as needed to operate, secure and improve the Service for you, and to follow the law. This permission ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies we must keep for a short time as described in the Privacy Policy.

You promise that you have the right to upload Your Content and that it doesn't break any law or anyone else's rights. Upload course materials like syllabi and schedules, but don't upload other people's private or sensitive information.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

break any law, or use the Service to harass, threaten or harm anyone;
upload malware, or content that is illegal, hateful, sexually explicit, or that infringes someone else's rights;
try to get around usage limits (for example, syllabus read limits), create multiple accounts to get more free usage, or resell the Service;
access other users' data, probe or attack our systems, or overload the Service (including with bots, scraping or automated requests);
copy, reverse engineer or build a competing product from the Service, except where the law allows it;
use the AI features to generate content for cheating or other academic dishonesty.

7a. Clubs

[NEEDS ATTORNEY REVIEW]

Starting and running a club

Only real student clubs may be created. When you create a club, you confirm that you lead it and that the faculty advisor you name is real. We check clubs with their advisor and may ask for more information. New clubs work as a 7-day demo, then become read-only until we approve them. Clubs never approved are deleted after 30 days.
The person in charge and the club's leaders are responsible for running the club fairly: accepting members, choosing officers, and using moderation tools (mute, remove, delete messages) only for good reasons. Leader actions are recorded in an activity log that leaders and Due Next can see.
Paid club plans, seats and the free pilot are described in the app. Free Pro that comes with a club lasts while you're a member of an approved club, until the end of that semester.

Club conduct

In clubs, you agree not to:

harass, bully, threaten, intimidate or stalk anyone, or encourage self-harm;
post hate speech, sexual content, or violent or illegal content;
post spam, scams, phishing links, or advertising or selling that the club didn't approve;
share someone else's personal information (including home addresses, phone numbers, schedules or photos) without their permission;
impersonate another person, club, school or Due Next;
organize meetings in private homes through Due Next (meet on campus or in public places);
try to get around a mute, removal, block, limit or other safety feature, or use several accounts to do so.

Reporting and moderation

You can report any message, event, main message or club. Reports go to the club's leaders and to Due Next. If three different people report a message, it's hidden until a leader checks it. You can block anyone.
We may remove content, mute or remove members, freeze or delete a club, and suspend or close accounts that break these Terms, put others at risk, or when required by law. Where reasonable, we'll tell you why. We don't check all content before it's posted and aren't responsible for what users post, but we act on reports.
If you believe a moderation decision was wrong, contact us.

Attendance, availability and club records

Club check-ins use a code or QR code that changes every 30 seconds. Attendance in Due Next is a club organizing tool. It is not an official school record and doesn't prove that someone was physically present. Clubs and schools that need official attendance should keep their own records.
“When is everyone free” totals are estimates based on what members choose to share and may be incomplete.
Club messages are deleted after 6 months, and clubs can be deleted by their leaders. Keep your own copy of anything you need.

Content you post in clubs

You're responsible for what you post. Your messages, events and tasks are visible to the people in that club or channel, as described in the Privacy Policy. The permission you give us in section 6 also covers showing your club content to those people.

8. Plans, billing and automatic renewal

Due Next has a Free plan and paid plans (such as Pro). The current features, limits and prices are shown on the Plans page in the app before you buy. Paid plans may not be available yet. When they are:

Automatic renewal. Paid plans are subscriptions that renew automatically at the end of each billing period, for the same length and at the then-current price, and your payment method is charged each time, until you cancel. The price, billing period and renewal terms are shown clearly before you confirm, and we ask for your clear consent.
Billing periods. On the website: the Monthly plan renews every month, the Semester plan covers about 4.5 months and renews each semester, and the School Year plan covers fall and spring (about 9 months) and renews once a year. In the iPhone, iPad and Mac app, Pro is sold through Apple as Monthly, 6-month and Yearly plans, because Apple only offers those lengths.
Free trial. New subscribers can get a 7-day free trial. You enter a payment method when you start. We show the date the trial ends before you confirm, and we email you about 2 days before it ends. If you cancel before the trial ends, you won't be charged. If you don't cancel, your first charge happens when the trial ends, and your plan then renews as described above. One free trial per person.
Founding price. On the website, the first 100 subscribers can get the Semester plan at a lower founding price (shown on the Plans page). The founding price stays the same for every renewal as long as your subscription stays active. If you cancel, or your subscription ends because a payment fails and isn't fixed, and you subscribe again later, the regular price applies.
Reminders. For plans longer than one month (like the Semester plan), we'll send you a reminder 5 to 30 days before it renews, with the price and how to cancel. For monthly plans, each receipt repeats the renewal terms and how to cancel.
Payments. Payments are processed by a third-party payment processor (such as Stripe), or by Apple or Google if you buy through their app stores. We never see or store your full card number.
Buying in the Apple app. If you subscribe in the iPhone, iPad or Mac app, Apple charges your Apple Account and handles billing, the free trial and renewals under Apple's own terms. Your subscription renews automatically unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your device's Settings → your name → Subscriptions. A subscription bought through Apple is linked to the Due Next account you were signed in to when you bought it, and can't be moved to another Due Next account. Apple's standard license terms also apply to the app.
Price changes. We'll give you at least 30 days' notice of any price increase before it applies to your next renewal. You can cancel before it takes effect.
Taxes. Prices may not include applicable sales or similar taxes, which may be added where required.
Free plan and usage limits. Usage limits (such as syllabus reads per semester) reset each semester and don't roll over. A read counts only when it succeeds.

9. Cancellation and refunds

Cancel any time in the app (Plans → Manage plan), in the same place and just as easily as you signed up. If you bought through Apple or Google, cancel in that store's subscription settings. You can also contact us, and we'll cancel it for you.
When you cancel, you keep paid features until the end of the period you already paid for. Then your account moves to the Free plan. Your classes and data are not deleted.
7-day refund (website purchases). If you ask within 7 days of a charge, we'll give you a full refund of that charge, as long as you haven't used a Pro-only syllabus read during that billing period. A Pro-only read is any syllabus read beyond the Free plan's limit (for example, your 4th read in a semester), or any update of a class from a new syllabus. Once you've used one, that charge isn't refundable, but you can still cancel at any time so you aren't charged again. We show this rule on the Plans page before you buy.
After 7 days, charges are not refundable.
Where the law gives you more, the law wins. If you're in a place where the law gives you a right to cancel or a refund that these Terms don't (for example, some countries' rules for online purchases), you keep that right. Purchases made through Apple or Google follow that store's refund process, and those stores decide refunds themselves. For purchases in the Apple app, ask Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
If something went wrong on our side (for example, you were charged twice, or Pro didn't work), contact us and we'll make it right, including a refund when that's fair.

9a. Referral program

How it works. Each user gets a personal invite link. A friend counts toward your rewards when they are new to Due Next, sign up through your link (or enter your invite code within 7 days of creating their account), subscribe to a paid plan, their first payment clears, and 7 days have passed since that payment without a refund. Free trials don't count until the first real payment.
Rewards. 2 counted friends: 1 free month of Pro. 5: 1 free semester of Pro. 10: 1 free school year of Pro and an Ambassador badge. 25: Campus Ambassador status, which includes Pro+ while you are an ambassador. Each reward unlocks once. Rewards are free Pro time added to your account automatically (Campus Ambassador status is confirmed by us personally). If you already pay for Pro, the free time starts when your paid time ends, so it isn't wasted. On the website, rewards may instead be applied as credit toward your subscription. Rewards have no cash value and can't be transferred or exchanged. No one can earn more than 2 years of free service in total.
Fair play. No referring yourself, creating fake or duplicate accounts, or paying for friends. A friend who pays with the same card as you doesn't count. Don't spam people or post your link where it isn't allowed. We may remove rewards or close accounts that break these rules.
Say you get a reward. When you share your link publicly (for example on social media), you must clearly say you get a reward if people sign up, such as "I get a free month if you join." The message in the app already includes this.
Changes. We may change or end the referral program at any time. Rewards you've already earned stay yours.

10. Our rights and changes to these Terms

The Service, including its design, software, logos and the name "Due Next," is owned by us and protected by law. These Terms don't give you any rights to our trademarks. If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them without owing you anything.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is important, we'll tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. The "Effective" date at the top shows the latest version. If you keep using the Service after changes take effect, you accept them. If you don't agree, stop using the Service and you may delete your account. Changes won't apply to disputes that arose before the change.

10a. Copyright complaints

Respect other people's work. Upload syllabi and course materials only for your own use, and don't post copyrighted material in clubs without permission. If you believe content in Due Next infringes your copyright, send us a notice with: your contact information; a description of the work; where the content appears in Due Next; a statement that you believe in good faith the use isn't authorized; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and your physical or electronic signature. We'll remove or disable the content when appropriate and may close the accounts of repeat infringers. Send notices to . [NEEDS ATTORNEY REVIEW]

11. Ending your use

You can stop using the Service at any time and delete your account in the app (menu → Contact us → Delete my account). We may suspend or close accounts that break these Terms, put others or the Service at risk, or where required by law. Where reasonable, we'll tell you first and give you a chance to fix the problem or save your data. If we ever shut down the Service, we'll give reasonable notice and refund any unused prepaid time on paid plans. Sections that by their nature should continue (like 6, 10, and 12–16) survive after your use ends.

12. Disclaimers [NEEDS ATTORNEY REVIEW]

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not promise that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, that data will never be lost, or that AI output, reminders, estimates or grade calculations will be accurate or complete. The Service may be unavailable at times (for example, during updates or outages at our providers), and features may change. Keep your own copy of important deadlines, grades and club records; don't rely on Due Next as your only copy.

Some places don't allow certain disclaimers, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that can't be waived.

13. Limitation of liability [NEEDS ATTORNEY REVIEW]

To the fullest extent allowed by law: (a) we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any lost grades, missed deadlines, academic consequences, lost data, lost profits or loss of opportunity, arising from or related to the Service, even if we were told they were possible; and (b) our total liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or fifty U.S. dollars ($50).

These limits don't apply where the law doesn't allow them, such as for liability that can't be excluded for gross negligence, intentional misconduct, or under consumer protection laws that can't be waived.

14. Indemnity

To the extent allowed by law, you agree to cover reasonable losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) that we face because of a third-party claim arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Service, or content you upload that violates someone's rights.

15. Disputes and arbitration [NEEDS ATTORNEY REVIEW]

Please read this section carefully. It affects how disputes are resolved.

Talk to us first

Most problems can be fixed quickly. Before starting any formal claim, contact us and describe the issue. Both sides agree to try in good faith to resolve it for at least 30 days.

Individual arbitration

If we can't resolve it, you and we agree that any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, instead of in court. This doesn't apply to: (a) claims that qualify for small-claims court, which either side may bring there; (b) requests to stop infringement or misuse of intellectual property; or (c) anything the law says can't be arbitrated. The arbitration may take place online or by phone, or in the county where you live. For claims under $10,000, we'll pay the AAA filing and arbitrator fees beyond what you would pay to file in court, unless the arbitrator finds your claim frivolous. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section.

No class actions

To the extent allowed by law, you and we agree to bring claims only individually, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, group or representative action. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable for a claim, that claim will go to court instead of arbitration.

You can opt out

You can opt out of this arbitration section by contacting us within 30 days of first accepting these Terms and saying that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out won't affect anything else in these Terms.

16. General terms [NEEDS ATTORNEY REVIEW]

Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any court case allowed under these Terms will be brought in the state or federal courts located in , , unless the law says you may sue where you live.
Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service.
Severability. If any part of these Terms can't be enforced, the rest stays in effect.
No waiver. If we don't enforce a part of these Terms right away, we can still enforce it later.
Assignment. You may not transfer these Terms. We may transfer them in connection with a merger, sale or reorganization, including if Due Next becomes a company, and we'll tell you if that happens.
Events outside our control. We're not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, such as outages at our providers.
App stores. If you get the app from Apple or Google, their store terms also apply, and they have no responsibility for the app or these Terms beyond what those store terms say.
