Terms of Service & Privacy Policy

Constellate (“we”, “us”, the “Service”) is an AI-powered Socratic learning platform, operated independently from the United Kingdom. Business identity details are available on request via the contact route in section 13.

By using the Service, or by creating an account or making a purchase, you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy in section 12, which forms part of them. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

Constellate teaches one concept at a time through guided AI conversation. The Service includes learning sessions built around curated concepts, graduation moments that mark genuine understanding, Flash artefacts that capture each idea in your own words, and a constellation map that reflects your progress.

The Service is intended for adults aged 18 and over. By using it, you confirm you meet this requirement.

The Service is powered by large language models from third-party AI providers. You acknowledge that AI-generated responses are not the views of Constellate, may contain errors or omissions, and are not professional advice of any kind, including legal, medical, financial, or psychological advice. Do not rely on the Service where professional advice is needed.

The Service is an educational platform, not a mental health service, therapy, or crisis resource. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact the emergency services or a crisis support line appropriate to where you are.

If a learning session ever feels distressing, stop the session and seek appropriate support. To the extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for emotional or psychological effects arising from use of the Service.

You can use the Service without an account; anonymous progress is saved to your device and can be lost if your browser data is cleared. Signing in with a magic link (no password) attaches your progress and any purchases to your email address so they follow you across devices. You are responsible for the security of your email account and of devices you use to access the Service.

Paid courses are sold at the price displayed at the point of purchase. Payments are processed by Gumroad, Inc. as the merchant of record; your purchase is also subject to Gumroad’s own terms, and charges will appear from Gumroad. A purchase attaches to the email address used at checkout: sign in to the Service with that same address and the course unlocks.

You are entitled to a full refund within 14 days of purchase, provided you have not completed the course. Once a course is completed, the digital content has been delivered in full and no refund is issued except where the law requires. Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights.

All content of the Service, including the curriculum, concept ladders, session design, visual design, and the constellation map, is owned by or licensed to Constellate and protected by intellectual property law. You may not copy, distribute, or create derivative works from it without written consent.

Text you write during sessions remains yours. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use it to provide and improve the Service, including generating your Flash artefacts. We will never sell your content. Your Flashes are your personal learning record; you are welcome to share them for personal, non-commercial purposes.

You agree not to: attempt to extract or replicate the prompt architecture or curriculum; submit unlawful, harmful, or abusive content; circumvent security, rate limits, or the payment gate; access the Service with automated tools or scrapers; or use the Service commercially without written consent. We may suspend or terminate access for violations.

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability in connection with the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud.

We may modify the Service, and may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email or a prominent notice on the Service; continued use after an update is acceptance of the revised Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, except where mandatory local consumer protection law provides otherwise.

The data controller is the operator of Constellate (section 1). We collect and process: the text you submit during learning sessions (to power the dialogue and generate your Flashes); your learning progress and constellation data; your email address, if you sign in or make a purchase; purchase records from Gumroad (email, product, sale reference); and basic usage data. Anonymous use stores progress in your browser’s local storage. We do not use advertising cookies or sell personal data.

We process this data to operate and improve the Service (contract and legitimate interests), and where required, to comply with law. We share data only with the categories of processors that run the Service: AI model providers, which generate session responses; database, authentication, and hosting infrastructure; and our payments provider, Gumroad, Inc., the merchant of record you transact with directly at checkout. All processors are bound by data processing agreements, and where data leaves the UK or EEA, safeguards such as standard contractual clauses apply.

We keep personal data only as long as needed to provide the Service. Under UK GDPR you have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, and may withdraw consent where processing rests on it. To exercise any right, contact us (section 13); we will respond within one month. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

For questions about these Terms, your data, or refunds, email us at support@discoverconstellate.com, or reply to any email the Service has sent you. We aim to respond within a few days.
