Terms of Service

Who you're contracting with

KERNLO is operated by Self-Employed ("KERNLO", "we", "us"), trading as KERNLO. By creating an account or using the service you enter into a binding agreement with Self-Employed.

Acceptance of terms

By accessing or continuing to use KERNLO you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service. You confirm you are of legal age and have authority to enter this agreement.

What KERNLO provides

KERNLO is a homeschool operations platform: activity logging, AI-assisted summaries, reports, and messaging integrations. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the service within your selected plan. The service is provided "as is" with no guarantee of uninterrupted or error-free performance.

Misuse

You must not: (a) use the service unlawfully; (b) commit fraud, send spam, or infringe intellectual property; (c) interfere with security, probe, scan, or scrape; (d) upload malware; (e) reverse engineer, resell, or circumvent technical limits. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activity under your account.

Ownership

KERNLO and Self-Employed retain all right, title, and interest in the service, including software, documentation, and branding. You retain ownership of content you upload; you grant us a limited license to host and process that content solely to provide the service.

Billing and subscriptions

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns.

Payment, billing frequency, taxes, cancellation, and refund mechanics are governed by Paddle's Buyer Terms. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. See our Refund Policy for refund details.

AI-generated content

KERNLO uses AI to generate summaries, suggestions, and reports. Outputs may be inaccurate or incomplete and are not a substitute for professional educational, legal, or compliance advice. You are responsible for reviewing AI outputs before relying on them, for the prompts and content you submit, and for ensuring you have the rights to any input content. We may remove, restrict, or refuse outputs that violate these Terms.

Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate access for material breach, non-payment, suspected fraud or security risk, or repeated policy violations. You may cancel at any time from in-app settings. On termination, we will retain or delete your data in line with the Privacy Policy.

Warranties and liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. Our aggregate liability is capped at the fees you paid in the 12 months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, consequential, or special damages including loss of profits, data, or goodwill. Nothing limits liability for fraud, death, or personal injury where prohibited by law.

Governing law and contact

These Terms are governed by the laws of the seller's jurisdiction. We may update these Terms; material changes will be communicated in-app or by email. Questions: hello@kernlohq.com.
