Terms of Service

1. Who May Use Clivea

The Services are intended for people preparing for the MCAT and are not directed to anyone under 16 years of age. By using the Services you confirm that you are at least 16, and that you are able to enter into this agreement. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may only use the Services with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

2. What Clivea Is Today

Clivea is a study platform for the MCAT built around a personalized AI tutor. When it opens, it will provide study content — concepts, passages, practice questions and full-length exams — observe your study sessions, analyse them, and recommend what to study next.

None of that is available yet. Right now the Services consist of this website, the waitlist, and the question form. Descriptions of the platform on this site describe what we are building, and features, content and timing may change before launch.

3. The Waitlist

Joining the waitlist costs nothing and buys nothing. It is not a purchase, a reservation you have paid for, or a promise of access.

What joining does and does not mean

• We will email you about your place on the list and about the launch.
• We may invite people to the platform in stages, in an order we choose.
• We cannot promise that you will receive access, or when.
• Pricing has not been set. Nothing on this site is an offer of a particular price, and any founding-access terms will be described to you before you are asked to pay anything.
• We may change, pause or discontinue the waitlist, and we may remove an entry that appears to be fake, automated or abusive.

You can leave the waitlist at any time — use the unsubscribe link in any email, or write to hello@clivea.ai.

4. Acceptable Use

When using the Services, you agree not to:

• Break the law, or use the Services to harm, harass or impersonate anyone.
• Submit someone else's personal information, including signing them up without their knowledge.
• Copy, scrape, republish or resell our content, or use it to train a machine learning model.
• Probe, disrupt or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Services or the systems behind them.
• Use bots or automated means to create entries, submit forms or collect data from the Services.
• Once the platform opens: share your account, or use it to commit academic misconduct, including reproducing our questions in a live exam setting.

We may suspend or end your access to the Services if you break these rules or if we reasonably believe it is necessary to protect other people, our systems or ourselves.

5. Our Content

The Services and everything in them — the site, the sample report, and the concepts, passages, practice questions and full-length exams we write — belong to Clivea or our licensors, and are protected by copyright and other laws. We write our own study material; we do not host or redistribute anyone else's.

You may use the Services for your own MCAT preparation. That is a personal, non-transferable permission, and it does not give you ownership of anything. Everything not expressly permitted here is reserved.

6. What You Send Us

You keep ownership of what you send us — your questions, your feedback, and, once the platform opens, your study work. You give us permission to use it to run and improve the Services, as described in our Privacy Policy.

If you send us feedback or a testimonial, you allow us to use it. We will ask before attaching your name or school to anything public, and you can withdraw that permission by writing to hello@clivea.ai.

Do not send us anything confidential, and do not send us anything you do not have the right to share.

7. No Guaranteed Results

Clivea is a study tool. It is not a guarantee of a score, of an improvement in your score, or of admission to any programme. Your results depend on your own preparation and on factors outside our control, and nothing on this site should be read as a promise about your outcome.

The Services are not medical, legal, admissions or career advice. Analysis and recommendations produced by Clivea, including anything produced by AI, may be incomplete or wrong, and you should use your own judgement alongside them.

8. MCAT and the AAMC

Clivea is an independent study platform. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Association of American Medical Colleges. MCAT is a registered trademark of the AAMC. We use the term only to describe the exam our Services help you prepare for.

Other names and marks appearing on the Services belong to their respective owners.

9. Third-Party Services and Links

The Services rely on third-party providers, and may link to sites we do not run. We are not responsible for the content, policies or practices of anyone else, and a link is not an endorsement. The providers we use to run the Services are named in our Privacy Policy.

10. Disclaimers

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, or that any content will be accurate or complete. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Clivea and the people who work with us will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or loss of goodwill, arising out of your use of the Services.

Our total liability for any claim relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or one hundred US dollars. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold Clivea harmless from claims, losses and reasonable legal costs arising from your misuse of the Services, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of someone else's rights.

13. Changes and Termination

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Services, and we may update these Terms. If we make a material change, we will update the date at the top of this page and, where it affects you meaningfully, tell you by email. Continuing to use the Services after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

You may stop using the Services at any time. The sections that by their nature should survive — our content, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity and governing law — will survive the end of this agreement.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. You and Clivea agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Arizona for any dispute that is not otherwise resolved.

If any part of these Terms is held unenforceable, the rest stays in force. Our not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it.

15. Contact

Questions about these Terms can go to hello@clivea.ai, and we will answer.
