MAAK SkillOrbit Terms of Service
Effective date: October 18, 2026 · Version: 1.0 · Last updated: October 18, 2026
These Terms are an agreement between you and AI APP Developer, LLC ("we", "us"), a Minnesota limited liability company, 8758 Hawthorne Dr, Eden Prairie, MN 55347-1714, United States, about your use of MAAK SkillOrbit on the website maakskillorbit.com and in our mobile apps (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy (https://maakskillorbit.com/privacy/). Please read section 13 (Dispute resolution) carefully.
1. Accounts
- Accounts are opened by adults or by students aged 13 and older. A family account is opened by a parent or legal guardian who is at least 18 (or the age of majority where they live); a class account by a teacher, tutor or school. A student aged 13 or older may open their own student account; if the student is under 18 (or the age of majority), a parent or legal guardian must agree to these Terms for them.
- Children under 13 use the Service only through an adult's family or class account. They never need their own email address or password.
- Keep your password and 4-digit grown-up PIN private. You are responsible for activity under your account. Tell us at support@aiappdeveloper.net if you think someone else has accessed it.
- Give accurate information. A child's profile should use a first name or nickname only.
2. Children's use and parental supervision
The Service is designed for children to use with a grown-up in charge. You are responsible for deciding which features your child may use (for example Avah live chat, games and time limits) and for supervising your child's use. Settings and purchases are behind the grown-up PIN, and the app shows a notice before it opens an outside website. Guest mode ("Start free" without an account) keeps progress only on the device until a grown-up saves it to an account.
3. Acceptable use
You and your children agree not to:
- use the Service for anything unlawful, harmful, or unrelated to learning;
- type personal information (full names, addresses, phone numbers, school names) into Avah or other free-text fields;
- try to get around limits, safety filters, the PIN or the parental gate, or trick Avah into producing unsafe content;
- copy, scrape, resell or redistribute lessons or questions;
- reverse engineer, overload or interfere with the Service, or access other families' data;
- share an account outside your household (Family plan) or class (Classroom and School plans).
We may suspend features or accounts that break these rules.
4. Plans, subscriptions and auto-renewal
Plans. Start free costs nothing. Paid plans are Student (one learner) and Family (up to 8 children in one household), monthly or yearly; Classroom Pro for teachers and tutors (yearly); and School and District licenses under a separate school agreement (by quote, paid by invoice or purchase order). The current prices are shown on the Plans page of your program and at checkout, in U.S. dollars or in the local currency where we offer one, plus any applicable tax; the price shown at checkout is the one that applies. Paid plans may not yet be open in every program or app: until they are, the Plans page says "Coming soon" and nothing can be bought.
Automatic renewal. Paid subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or yearly) at the then-current price, and you will be charged using your payment method on file, until you cancel. The checkout page (Stripe on the website, Google Play or Apple in the apps) shows the price, the billing period and that the plan renews automatically before you pay. Your payments are listed in your Google Play or Apple account, or, for website purchases, under Manage subscription. Where the law requires it, we will remind you before a yearly plan renews.
How to cancel. Cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period, and you keep paid features until then. Your children's progress is not deleted when you cancel.
- Website (Stripe): Parents → Plans → Manage subscription (the Stripe customer portal; your PIN is needed), or email support@aiappdeveloper.net.
- Google Play: Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. We cannot cancel Google Play subscriptions for you.
- Apple App Store (if you subscribed in an iPhone or iPad app): Settings → your name → Subscriptions. We cannot cancel Apple subscriptions for you.
- Deleting your account does not cancel a store subscription. Cancel in the store too.
Free trials. The Student and Family plans can be tried free for 30 days, once per family, and Classroom Pro can be tried free for 30 days. No payment details are needed for a trial, and you are never charged automatically when a trial ends: the account goes back to Start free, and everything your children learned is kept. A paid subscription starts only if you choose to pay.
Price changes. We will give notice of a price increase before it applies to your next renewal, and you may cancel before then.
Refunds. Website purchases: unused parts of a billing period are not refunded, except where the law requires it. If you think a charge was made in error, contact us at support@aiappdeveloper.net within 14 days and we will review it. App Store and Google Play purchases are refunded only through Apple or Google under their policies.
Purchases need the grown-up PIN. Only the adult account holder may make purchases.
5. Avah, the AI helper
- Avah's live chat is an optional feature on paid plans, off until a parent turns it on. It uses an artificial-intelligence model provided by Anthropic. On the Free plan, Avah shows built-in hints and explanations only.
- Avah is a computer program, not a person, and not a teacher, tutor, counselor, doctor or therapist.
- AI can make mistakes. Answers may be wrong, incomplete or unclear. Check important answers with a teacher, textbook or parent.
- Avah is not a substitute for teachers, school, or professional help. It is not for emergencies. If a child is in danger or thinking about self-harm, contact a trusted adult, call 911 (or your country's emergency number), or in the United States call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).
- We filter Avah's replies and limit daily use, but no filter is perfect. A child can tap Report under any of Avah's replies: the reply is then listed for the parent in Parents → Controls ("Reported AI messages"). Please also tell us about a bad reply at support@aiappdeveloper.net.
- Parents can turn Avah off at any time.
6. Educational content
MAAK SkillOrbit is a learning supplement. It follows school programs to help children practice, but it does not replace school, teachers, or the official curriculum. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any ministry of education, school board, or exam organization (such as the College Board, ACT, WAEC, or national Bac and Brevet offices). Test and exam names are used only to describe what the practice is for.
Lessons are written by us to follow the learning standards and school programs of the program you choose (for example U.S. state standards, or the French, Quebec, Nigerian or Cameroonian programs). We work to keep them accurate and correct errors when we find them, but we do not guarantee any grade, score, placement, admission or other result. Placement results, Orbit Scores, mock exams and progress reports are practice tools, not official assessments. Homeschool hours and records in the app are for your convenience; you are responsible for meeting the homeschool requirements where you live.
7. Test preparation and trademarks
Some sections include practice for school exams and for college-entrance and language tests. ACT® is a registered trademark of ACT Education Corp. SAT® is a registered trademark of the College Board. PSAT/NMSQT® is a registered trademark of the College Board and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. These organizations are not affiliated with, and do not endorse, MAAK SkillOrbit. The names of other tests and exams (for example WASSCE, NECO, UTME, GCE, the baccalauréat, the brevet, IELTS, TOEFL, TCF, DELF, DALF and TestDaF) belong to their owners, who are not affiliated with and do not endorse MAAK SkillOrbit. Our practice questions are original and are not official test questions. Other product names mentioned belong to their owners.
8. Third-party websites
Some sections (for example college and career) link to outside websites, such as scholarship, financial-aid and college sites. We show a notice before opening them. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices or offers. Never pay to apply for a scholarship, and talk with a parent or counselor before sharing personal information.
9. Our content and your content
- The Service — including lessons, questions, explanations, games, artwork, characters (including Avah), software and the MAAK SkillOrbit name and logos — is owned by AI APP Developer, LLC or its licensors and is protected by law. Our lesson content is written by us; we do not copy other learning products' text or skill lists.
- We give you a personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your family's (or, under a Classroom or School plan, your class's) non-commercial learning. Anything the Service lets you print may be printed for that use only.
- Settings, reward names and "cheers" you enter remain yours; you give us permission to store and display them only to run the Service for you.
- If you send us feedback, we may use it without obligation.
10. Termination and account deletion
- You may delete a child profile or your whole account at any time in the app (Parents → Family), on the website (https://maakskillorbit.com, Parents → Family), or by emailing support@aiappdeveloper.net. We delete the data as described in our Privacy Policy: within 30 days after the deletion, and from backups on our providers' regular backup schedule.
- We may suspend or end access if you break these Terms, if needed to protect children or the Service, or if we stop offering the Service. If we end the Service entirely, we will give reasonable notice and refund any unused prepaid period of a website subscription where the law requires it.
- Sections that by their nature should survive (ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, disputes) survive termination.
11. Disclaimers
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT PROMISE THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT AI OUTPUT WILL BE CORRECT. Some places do not allow these exclusions, so they may not apply to you.
12. Limitation of liability
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, AI APP DEVELOPER, LLC WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOST DATA OR PROFITS, AND OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR US $50. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
13. Dispute resolution
Most problems can be solved quickly: before starting any claim, please write to us at support@aiappdeveloper.net or at our mailing address with a description of the problem, and we will try in good faith to resolve it within 60 days. If we cannot, either of us may bring the claim in the state or federal courts located in Hennepin County, Minnesota, or, if the claim qualifies, in a small-claims court where you live. Nothing in these Terms takes away rights you have under the consumer-protection laws of the place where you live.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, except where the law of the place where you live requires otherwise.
15. App store terms
If you downloaded an app from Google Play or Apple's App Store, you also agree to that store's terms. For an iPhone or iPad app: these Terms are between you and us, not Apple; Apple is not responsible for the app or its support; Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies; and Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
16. Changes
We may update these Terms. For material changes we will notify you by email and in the app at least 30 days before they take effect. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the new Terms; if you do not agree, you may cancel and delete your account. The effective date at the top shows the latest version.
