Terms of Service

Effective November 4, 2026 · Last updated November 4, 2026

The short version Lesson Plan Factory writes lesson plans and student handouts from text you supply. You keep your content; we keep the service running. The output is a draft, not a verified curriculum — you are the teacher and the final judgement is yours. We never collect student data.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Lesson Plan Factory ("Lesson Plan Factory", "we", "us"), which operates lessonplanfactory.com and the related services (the "Service"). By creating an account, using the Service, or clicking to accept these Terms, you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Who may use the Service

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into this agreement. If you use the Service on behalf of a school, district, or other organisation, you represent that you are authorised to accept these Terms for it, and "you" includes that organisation. The Service is intended for educators and is not directed to children.

2. Accounts

You must provide accurate account information and keep it current. You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your password and any API credentials confidential. One person per account; do not share credentials or resell access. Notify us promptly at support@lessonplanfactory.com if you believe your account has been used without your permission.

3. Credits and payment

The Service is sold in credits. A plan generation costs one credit, an import reserves one credit per variant produced, and scanning (OCR) is priced per hundred pages; the current prices are shown in the app before you spend anything. Credits have no cash value and are not transferable.

Purchased credits do not expire. Promotional credits, including the free signup allowance, expire on the date shown in your account. A paid plan includes a monthly allowance that is replaced at each renewal: unused allowance does not roll over, so an account with 15 of 20 left renews to 20, not 35. When more than one kind of credit is available, the credits that expire soonest are used first and purchased credits are used last. Failure of a paid operation is refunded automatically to your balance.

A plan renews only after its renewal payment succeeds. If a payment fails, we retry it through our payment processor, and the plan continues during a short grace period (currently seven days) so a declined card does not interrupt teaching. If payment is not collected by the end of that period, the account returns to the free plan: credits already granted stay until they expire, and purchased credits are unaffected. You can restore the plan at any time by updating the payment method.

Payments are processed by a third-party payment processor. You authorise us and our processor to charge your payment method for the credits you purchase. Prices are in U.S. dollars and exclude taxes, which are your responsibility where applicable. Refunds are governed by our Refunds & Cancellations policy.

4. Your content

You retain ownership of the text and other materials you upload, and of the lesson plans you generate from them ("Your Content"). You grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to store, copy, transmit, and process Your Content solely to provide the Service — for example, to extract text, to send it to a model provider to draft a plan, and to render handouts and PDFs for you.

You represent that you have the rights needed to upload Your Content and to have it processed as described. Do not upload material you do not have the right to use, and do not upload student work, student names, rosters, grades, or other student records. See Student Data.

5. AI-generated output

The Service uses large language models to draft plans, questions, answer keys, and handouts. Output can be wrong, incomplete, or misaligned with a standard, and it can cite a passage that does not say what it claims. We validate quotations and line references against your source text where we can, but we cannot guarantee accuracy. You are responsible for reviewing everything before you teach it or hand it out. See How Lesson Plan Factory Uses AI.

6. Standards and alignment

Standard codes and text come from the published state standards we support. We transcribe them carefully, but the authoritative source is the state itself. A plan's coverage claims are only as good as the evidence recorded against them, and only standards you confirm count toward coverage.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

use the Service in violation of any law, or to infringe anyone's intellectual property or privacy rights;
upload malware, or content that is unlawful, harassing, or that you lack the rights to use;
attempt to access another user's account, data, or workspace;
copy, scrape, reverse engineer, or resell the Service, or use it to build a competing product;
circumvent credit accounting, rate limits, or other technical controls;
use the Service to make decisions about individual students, or to process student records.

We may suspend or terminate an account that violates this section, and may report unlawful content to the authorities.

8. Our intellectual property

The Service — its software, prompts, templates, design, and documentation — is ours and is protected by copyright and other laws. These Terms grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive right to use the Service for your own teaching. No other rights are granted.

9. Third-party services

We use third-party providers for model inference, hosting, email delivery, and payment processing. Their services are subject to their own terms, and an outage or change on their side can affect the Service. We are not responsible for third-party services, but we choose them with care and list the categories in our Privacy Policy.

10. Availability and changes

We work to keep the Service available, but we do not promise uninterrupted service and we do not offer a service level agreement unless we sign one separately. Features may change, and features marked beta may be withdrawn. We may suspend the Service for maintenance or for security reasons.

11. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR SUITABLE FOR YOUR STUDENTS.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THESE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

13. Indemnification

You will defend and indemnify us against claims, damages, and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from Your Content, your use of the Service in violation of these Terms, or your violation of another person's rights.

14. Termination

You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if your account poses a risk to the Service or to others. On termination, your right to use the Service ends; sections 4, 5, 8, and 11–16 survive.

15. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of West Virginia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

16. Dispute resolution and arbitration

Before filing a claim, contact us at support@lessonplanfactory.com and give us 30 days to resolve the issue. If we cannot resolve it, any dispute will be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, seated in West Virginia, and conducted by written submission or by telephone unless the arbitrator requires otherwise. You and we each waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. You may opt out of arbitration by emailing us within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, email, and that you opt out; opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. If a change is material, we will notify you by email or in the app before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.
