Terms of service

Assessly is an evaluation and learning platform for universities and engineering teams. Depending on what your institution enables, it may include coding assessments and auto-grading, AI-graded written explanations, AI voice interviews, practice and learning tracks, the Ace teaching-and-learning copilot, the Pulse community, and analytics for instructors and administrators.

We improve the platform continuously and may add, change, or retire features. We won't make a change that materially reduces a paying institution's core functionality during its term without reasonable notice.

To use the platform you register for an account, directly or through your institution's invitation, and you agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information.
• Keep your credentials confidential and secure.
• Accept responsibility for everything done under your account.
• Tell us promptly of any unauthorised access or security breach.

Accounts are personal to you. You may not share, sell, or transfer your account, or let anyone else use it.

Many people reach Assessly through an institution. Where that's the case:

• Your institution administers its cohorts, it invites and removes users, assigns assessments, and configures integrity settings.
• Submissions, scores, and integrity reports are your institution's academic records, and access to them is controlled by the institution.
• If your institution removes you, or ends its use of Assessly, your access to its content may end too.

For data-protection purposes, the institution is the Data Fiduciary for this data and we act as its Data Processor, as set out in our Privacy Policy.

Assessly is an integrity-first platform. You agree not to:

• Use the platform for any unlawful purpose, or in breach of these Terms.
• Submit malicious code intended to damage infrastructure, or attempt to escape the code-execution sandbox or reach host networks.
• Bypass, disable, or tamper with browser fingerprinting, tab-switch detection, session locks, or other integrity mechanisms.
• Share proctored assessment content, answers, or exploit paths without the assessing institution's explicit authorisation.
• Reverse-engineer, scrape, or use bots or automated means to access the platform, except as expressly permitted.
• Infringe anyone's intellectual-property or privacy rights, or upload unlawful, harmful, or infringing content.

Assessly provides sandboxed execution environments (cloud compiler runtimes) for solving and testing code. Runtimes are subject to strict constraints:

• You must not run network scans, call-home requests, socket bindings, or port-mapping commands in the sandbox.
• You must not inject infinite loops, memory leaks, fork bombs, or large file-write processes designed to exhaust compute resources.
• We enforce strict execution timeouts and file-allocation limits. Attempts to override them are flagged automatically.

Our communication spaces, Pulse channels and direct messages, are built for professional collaboration. You agree to follow our community rules:

• Respectful conduct: harassment, hate speech, bullying, or sharing inappropriate media is prohibited.
• Academic integrity: you must not share solved answers, source scripts, or proctored test keys in active assessment rooms. Sharing general study material is fine.
• Spam & self-promo: mass DMs, marketing links, and automated bots are forbidden.

You own the content you post, and you're responsible for it. As an intermediary under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the IT (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, Assessly hosts user content but does not author or endorse it. You must not host, post, or share content that is unlawful under those rules, including content that is defamatory, obscene, harms a child, infringes intellectual property, or is otherwise prohibited by Rule 3(1)(b).

Assessly awards XP, streaks, and league divisions to encourage consistent practice. Manipulating these mechanics is prohibited:

• You must not use macros, auto-clickers, scripted pipelines, or bot accounts to spoof completed challenges or farm XP.
• Spoofing streak counts or manipulating system timestamps is a violation of platform integrity.
• We run automated anomaly checks. Accounts showing unnatural XP accumulation are flagged and subject to leaderboard bans and XP resets.

Assessly's AI features, automated grading, the Ace copilot, AI interviews, and explanation scoring are assistive. They are powerful but not infallible: AI output can be wrong or incomplete, and it is not professional, legal, or career advice. Final academic and evaluation decisions rest with your institution's faculty, not with a model.

AI features are included under our Fair Use Policy, which explains what "unlimited" means and where the soft limits sit. Using the AI features means you accept that policy.

The platform, its original content, features, and evaluation rubrics are owned by Assessly and protected by the Copyright Act, 1957, the Trade Marks Act, 1999, and other applicable laws. "Assessly" and our logo are our trademarks; you may not use them without our permission.

Your code and work. Your submissions remain yours. By submitting them, you grant us a limited licence to host, run, analyse, and test them strictly to evaluate your work and provide feedback to you and your institution.

Feedback & surveys. If you give us ratings, suggestions, emoji, or written comments, you grant Assessly a royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, and irrevocable licence to use them to operate and improve our services, without credit or payment.

Assessly is sold to institutions, not priced publicly. Fees, terms, and renewals are set out in the order form or agreement between Assessly and your institution. Where fees apply:

• Charges are exclusive of taxes; applicable Indian taxes, including GST, are added as required.
• Payment terms are those in the institutional agreement.
• Individual users are not charged for access provided through their institution.

Bug bounty rewards are governed by the bug bounty program terms, not by this section.

Assessly is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the extent permitted by law, we make no warranties, express or implied, about the platform's reliability, accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted availability.

While our execution pipelines are highly reliable, we don't guarantee the platform will be free of errors or latency spikes during peak load. AI-generated output may contain mistakes and should be reviewed before it is relied on.

Third-party services. The platform relies on third-party infrastructure and AI providers, our subprocessors, and may link to third-party sites. We are not responsible for third-party services or their terms.

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

• Assessly will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss, or for loss of data, profits, goodwill, or opportunity, arising from your use of the platform.
• Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the platform is limited to the fees paid for the relevant institution's account in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or, where no fees were paid, ₹10,000.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under Indian law, including liability for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.

You agree to indemnify and hold Assessly harmless from claims, losses, and reasonable expenses arising out of your misuse of the platform, your breach of these Terms or of any law, the content you post, or your infringement of someone else's rights. We will tell you about any such claim and may take over its defence.

You can stop using Assessly and delete your account at any time from your account settings.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if your institution's access ends, if required by law, or to protect the platform and its users. We'll give notice where it's reasonable to do so; serious breaches, such as integrity violations, may lead to immediate termination.

On termination, your right to use the platform ends. Provisions that by their nature should survive, such as intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, and governing law, continue to apply. Data handling after termination follows our Privacy Policy and your institution's agreement.

Assessly encourages responsible security research. If you participate in our bug bounty program, you agree that:

• You will not publicly disclose any vulnerability, exploit path, or security weakness without our explicit, written consent.
• You will immediately delete any sensitive data obtained through testing.
• You will not disrupt normal operations or access other users' data beyond what is strictly necessary to demonstrate a vulnerability.

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to the paragraph below, the courts at Belagavi, Karnataka, India have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute relating to Assessly or these Terms.

Resolving disputes. We'd much rather sort things out directly, please contact us first and we'll try to resolve any concern in good faith. Disputes that can't be resolved that way may be referred to arbitration by a sole arbitrator under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, seated at Belagavi and conducted in English. This does not stop either party from seeking urgent interim relief from a court.

• Changes: we may update these Terms; we'll update the effective date above and, for material changes, give notice. Continued use means you accept the update.
• Severability: if any provision is held unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
• Assignment: you may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Waiver: not enforcing a provision is not a waiver of it.
• Force majeure: we are not liable for failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
