Terms and Conditions

By creating an account, accessing, hosting a room, participating in a game session, or subscribing to any paid tier on GamifyTL (operated by NorthNode Technologies), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"), our Privacy Policy, and our Cancellation & Refund Policy. If you do not agree to all of these terms, you must not access or use GamifyTL.

2.1 Individual Named License: Author accounts are personal and non-transferable. Each account is licensed solely to a single named individual educator or host. Accounts may not be pooled, shared across a school department, resold, or transferred to another person.

2.2 Technological Single-Device Enforcement: To preserve session security, prevent unauthorized access, and ensure fair server allocation, GamifyTL enforces a strict single-device policy across all plans (Free, Pro Monthly, Pro Yearly, and Lifetime). At any given time, an account may maintain only one active authenticated device session.

2.3 Session Supersession / Device Switching: You may use GamifyTL across different hardware (e.g., home PC, classroom interactive whiteboard, laptop). However, logging in from a new device, browser, or environment will immediately and automatically terminate, supersede, and invalidate the active session on any prior device.

2.4 Prohibition on Credential Sharing: Sharing your login email, password, or session tokens with colleagues, students, or third parties is strictly prohibited. If your institution requires multiple teachers to host simultaneous sessions, each teacher must register an independent individual account.

2.5 Anti-Abuse & Termination for Sharing: GamifyTL deploys automated telemetry to detect concurrent session attempts, anomalous IP hopping, and credential sharing. We reserve the absolute right to suspend or terminate accounts found violating the single-device license without notice, without liability, and with forfeiture of refund eligibility.

3.1 Free Guest Play: Participating in live classroom games is 100% free. Learners, students, and attendees do not need to create an account, provide an email address, submit payment, or install software. Guests join by scanning a room QR code or entering a 6-digit pin at gamifytl.com/join with a transient screen nickname.

3.2 Educator Responsibility & Compliance: If you use GamifyTL with minor students or within an educational institution, you represent and warrant that you possess all requisite institutional, parental, or guardian permissions required under applicable laws, including COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act), FERPA, and the Indian Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA).

3.3 No Advertising or Profiling: GamifyTL does not track students across the web, build advertising profiles on learners, or sell student gameplay data.

4.1 Scope of Tools: Authors have access to all 10 interactive classroom tools and modes, including Quiz Battle, Live Polls, Link Sprint / Wiki Race, Word Search, Flow Connect, Jumble Jam, Jigsaw Mission, Connect Dots, Target Hunt, and Resource Drop file sharing, subject to the limits of their selected plan.

4.2 Content Ownership: Authors retain full intellectual property ownership of all questions, answers, explanations, images, documents, and media uploaded to GamifyTL.

4.3 Operational License to GamifyTL: By uploading content, you grant GamifyTL a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, limited license to store, process, cache, format, and transmit your content solely for the purpose of operating, displaying, and delivering your live classroom sessions to connected participants.

4.4 Content Restrictions: You agree not to upload, transmit, or share content that: (a) infringes any third-party copyright, trademark, patent, or intellectual property; (b) contains malicious code, viruses, or harmful payloads; (c) contains unlawful, defamatory, obscene, sexually explicit, abusive, or harassing material; or (d) exposes personal or regulated data of minor learners. We reserve the right to remove non-compliant content and terminate offending accounts immediately.

5.1 Assistive Nature: GamifyTL incorporates artificial intelligence features (powered by third-party providers including Google Gemini, OpenRouter, and NVIDIA) to assist educators in rapidly generating questions, distractors, puzzle layouts, and options.

5.2 Mandatory Educator Review: AI outputs are probabilistic and may contain hallucinations, factual errors, curriculum inaccuracies, or phrasing inappropriate for your students' grade level. The Author bears the sole and non-delegable responsibility to inspect, verify, and edit all AI-generated content before presenting it to learners.

5.3 Disclaimer of AI Warranties: GamifyTL disclaims all liability and warranties regarding the factual accuracy, educational efficacy, completeness, or curriculum alignment of any content produced by AI generators.

5.4 Prompt Data Restrictions: Authors must not include personally identifiable, confidential, or regulated learner information in AI generation prompts.

6.1 Plan Tiers: GamifyTL offers Free, Pro Monthly, Pro Yearly, and Lifetime plans. Limits regarding participant capacity (up to 100 on Free, up to 200 on Pro), room lifespan, concurrent active rooms, Resource Drop file sizes, and AI quotas are clearly specified on our Pricing page and incorporated herein.

6.2 Pricing & Currency: All prices are displayed and charged in Indian Rupees (INR) as the final GamifyTL charge.

6.3 Payment Processing: Payments are processed through Razorpay. GamifyTL does not store credit card numbers, debit card numbers, CVVs, or UPI PINs. You agree to provide truthful and accurate billing information.

6.4 Automatic Renewals & Cancellation: Pro Monthly and Pro Yearly subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless cancelled prior to the renewal date. You may cancel recurring billing at any time with a single click in your Author Billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the conclusion of the currently paid cycle, and you retain Pro access until that date.

6.5 Lifetime Plan Terms: The Lifetime plan is a single one-time payment that grants Pro features for the active operational lifetime of the GamifyTL service for that individual account. Lifetime plans have no recurring renewal fees. Lifetime accounts remain strictly subject to the single-device active session policy, fair use guidelines, and all terms set forth herein. Lifetime licenses are non-transferable.

6.6 Fair-Use Unlimited AI: Pro tiers include "fair-use unlimited" AI generations intended for human classroom preparation. Automated bot scripts, headless scraping, API proxies, or mass generation flooding are prohibited and will result in rate throttling or suspension.

7.1 Seven-Day Refund Window: Eligible initial purchases and renewals may be refunded upon written request submitted within seven (7) calendar days of the transaction date. Requests may be initiated via the Author Billing portal or by emailing support@northnode.live from the registered account email.

7.2 Investigation & Processing: Refund requests are verified against payment records, account usage, duplicate claims, and terms compliance. Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method via Razorpay within 5 to 7 business days.

7.3 Ineligibility & Exclusions: Refunds will not be issued for: (a) accounts suspended or terminated due to credential sharing, single-device policy violations, or terms breaches; (b) requests submitted after the 7-day period; (c) fraudulent payment disputes or chargebacks; or (d) accounts that have engaged in abusive or bad-faith bulk consumption. For complete details, review our Cancellation & Refund Policy.
