Effective date: November 24, 2025
Welcome to Altera Labs. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Altera Labs services, including the web application, LTI Canvas integration, instructor dashboards, and associated APIs (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
The Service is intended for use by educational institutions, instructors, students, and administrators. You represent and warrant that you have the authority to accept these Terms on behalf of yourself or the organization you represent.
Certain features require an account or integration via your institution's LMS (for example, Canvas via LTI 1.3). You are responsible for maintaining the security of login credentials. For LMS integrations we rely on standards such as LTI 1.3 (OIDC/OAuth2) and Assignment & Grade Services (AGS); your institution's IT policies may apply.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Altera Labs grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Service for educational purposes. You agree not to:
The Service permits submission of course materials, student responses, assignments, and user-generated content ("Submissions"). Students retain ownership of their original work. By submitting content, you grant Altera Labs a non-exclusive license to process, analyze, store, and display that content as necessary to provide the Service (for example: to generate quizzes, update the Bayesian Knowledge Tracing model, or display analytics on instructor dashboards).
Altera Labs uses internal verification modules (the "Mathematical Judge") and may use third-party providers for AI services and hosting (for example, Google Vertex AI for vector embeddings or other retrieval services). We will only use such services as described in our Privacy Policy and where permitted by institutional agreements. You consent to such third-party processing as described in the Privacy Policy.
Some features of the Service may be offered on a paid basis. Any paid features will be subject to separate pricing terms and an order or subscription agreement.
Disclaimer: THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." ALTERA LABS DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED. THE SERVICE OFFERS PEDAGOGICAL SUPPORT AND ANALYTICS BUT DOES NOT REPLACE INSTRUCTOR JUDGMENT.
Limitation of liability: TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALTERA LABS' TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED DIRECT DAMAGES OF $100 (OR THE AMOUNT PAID BY YOU IN THE PRIOR 12 MONTHS, IF GREATER) — EXCEPT WHERE SUCH LIMITS ARE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
Either party may terminate access for breach of these Terms. On termination we may disable your access and delete your data in accordance with our retention policy; instructors and institutions should export any required records prior to termination as described in our Privacy Policy.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms and indicate the effective date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
