Lectur · Legal
Terms of use.
These early-access terms describe the rules of the road before general availability. They will be superseded by a full master agreement.
Last updated — August 2026
Early-access scope
Access to Lectur is granted per institution under signed agreements. Users at a partner institution are bound both by these terms and by the agreements their institution signed. Where they diverge, the signed writing prevails: the personal-information processing agreement on any privacy question, and the commercial terms on any commercial question.
Acceptable use
Do not use Lectur to host content you have no rights to, to target other users, or to probe for vulnerabilities outside an explicit disclosure programme. Do not share your credentials. The right of use granted carries no right to copy, modify, decompile, reverse-engineer, resell, rent or sublicense the platform. Do not attempt to reach another institution's data: isolation is enforced by the platform, and any attempt to work around it suspends the account concerned immediately. Termination of an institution's access follows the causes and notice set out in its agreement.
Intellectual property
Content you upload or create in the platform remains yours, or its authors', as your own internal rules provide. You grant Lectur a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to process it for the sole purpose of providing the service, for as long as the service runs. Lectur remains the owner of the platform, its software, its interfaces and its documentation. Aggregated, non-identifying statistics are governed by the personal-information processing agreement: no value rests on a group of fewer than ten students, and an institution's name is associated with them publicly only with its written consent.
Warranties and limits
We make reasonable efforts to keep the platform available during class hours, and we give reasonable notice of planned maintenance windows. We do not warrant uninterrupted availability. Some features rely on artificial-intelligence systems that can produce answers, analyses or content that is incomplete, inaccurate or inappropriate. They are decision-support tools: they do not replace professional judgement. The institution remains solely responsible for every pedagogical, academic, administrative or disciplinary decision, including where it draws on indicators the platform produced. We may suspend a feature, an AI flow or the service where that is needed to preserve security, fix a critical vulnerability or respond to an incident. We keep any such suspension as narrow and as short as we can.
Liability and changes
Each party's liability is capped and indirect damages are excluded, on the terms of the agreement signed with your institution. Those limits do not apply to gross or intentional fault, nor to bodily or moral injury, per article 1474 of the Civil Code of Québec. Any change to the contractual framework is made by a writing signed by both parties. This page describes the general rules of use; where it diverges, the agreement signed with your institution prevails.
