Terms of use

The rules, in plain language.

Who runs GRIND.

GRIND. is an independent student project created and operated by Mehdi Douiri. For any question about these terms or a purchase, write to privacy@grindstudent.com. We answer as quickly as we can, and within 30 days at most.

The service

GRIND. is an online study workspace: syllabus import, deadlines, grades, schedule, course files and AI study tools. We work to keep it available and secure, but we cannot promise it will always be available or free of errors. We may improve, change or remove features over time.

Your account

You need an account to use GRIND. Keep access to your email address secure, since your sign-in codes are sent there. You are responsible for what happens in your account. One account per person. If you are under 14, ask a parent or guardian before creating an account.

Your content

What you put in GRIND. (courses, grades, notes, files) stays yours. You give us only the permission we need to store it, show it to you and process it to provide the service, as described in the privacy policy. Only upload material you have the right to use, and never anyone else’s personal information without their permission.

AI study tools

Quizzes, mock exams, notes and plans are written by AI from the material you choose. They can contain mistakes: check them against your course before relying on them. GRIND. is a study aid. It does not replace your instructor, your course material or your school’s rules on academic integrity, which you remain responsible for following. Practice scores never change your real grades. Fair use limits, such as a number of AI generations per day, can apply so the service stays available for everyone.

Fair use

Do not misuse GRIND.: no attempt to access other accounts or our systems, no overloading, copying or reselling of the service, and no use to cheat in a way your school forbids. We can suspend or close an account that breaks these rules, after warning you when we can.

Plans and payments

GRIND. is free to use. Paid plans (GRIND Plus) add more AI study tools; what they include and their price are shown on the pricing page before you pay. Prices are in Canadian dollars. Payments are processed by Stripe: we never see or store your card number.

Plus monthly and Plus yearly

Lifetime access

Earlier plans

Founding passes and semester plans bought before October 18, 2026 keep the terms they were sold with: the founding pass gives one year of GRIND Plus from the purchase, without renewal.

Closing your account

You can stop using GRIND. and ask us to delete your account at any time by writing to privacy@grindstudent.com. Deleting your account does not by itself refund a payment: the refund rules above apply.

Responsibility

We provide GRIND. as it is. We are not responsible for a missed deadline, a lost mark or another loss caused by an error in the service, an import, a sync or AI-written material: always check important dates and grades against your school’s official sources. Nothing in these terms limits the rights you have under the consumer protection law where you live.

Changes

If we change these terms in an important way, we will update the date above and tell you in the app before the change applies. A change never reduces what you have already paid for.

Applicable law

These terms are governed by the laws in force in Canada and in the province where you live.
