Terms of service

1. Using SyllabusDB

By using SyllabusDB, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service. The platform provides past syllabi and student experiences for educational reference and course planning.

SyllabusDB is an independent project and is not an official source of college requirements. Check current policies and course details with your instructor or institution.

2. Accounts and responsible use

You may browse without an account. Some features use Google sign-in or an anonymous session identifier. Keep your account secure and do not impersonate another person, submit misleading information, interfere with the service, bypass access controls, or use it to distribute spam or harmful content.

The service is intended for college students and is not directed to children under 13. Do not use it if you are under 13.

3. Uploads and reviews

Only submit material you have the right and any required permission to share. Receiving a syllabus in a class does not necessarily give you permission to publish it. Follow the upload guidelines, including the rules on private information, restricted materials, and respectful reviews.

You are responsible for your files, course details, ratings, and written experiences. Do not upload assessments, answer keys, textbook material, or confidential documents. Student reviews must reflect your own experience and must not include harassment or private information.

4. Ownership and permission to host

Original rights holders retain ownership of syllabi and other submitted material. SyllabusDB does not claim ownership of them.

To the extent you have the necessary rights, submitting content gives SyllabusDB a non-exclusive permission to store, reproduce, display, and distribute that content as needed to operate the service, including document previews and public access. This does not authorize unrelated reuse by other users or override the rights of the original owner.

5. Review and removal

Submissions are reviewed before they are publicly listed. We may edit course metadata, reject or remove content, and restrict access where needed to address misuse, rights concerns, or violations of these terms. Review is not a guarantee of accuracy, safety, or permission to share.

To report copyright, privacy, or other content concerns, follow the removal request process. Include the page URL and enough information for us to review your concern.

6. Privacy and external services

The Privacy Policy explains how the site handles account information, uploads, analytics, and browser storage. Documents and external links may open services operated by third parties, whose own terms and privacy practices apply.

7. Availability and limitations

SyllabusDB is provided "as is" and "as available" to the extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access or that submitted content is complete, accurate, current, or appropriate for your situation. The service and its features may change or be discontinued.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, SyllabusDB is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of the service or reliance on submitted content. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or liability that cannot legally be excluded.

8. Changes and contact

Updates to these terms will be posted here with a revised date. Review the current terms when using the service. Questions about these terms, your uploads, or your account can be sent to katophh@gmail.com.
