About these terms
These terms apply when you use Lobe Limpet, a revision service run by Cary Gibbs in the United Kingdom. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to them. If you're under 18, please read them with a parent or carer.
Your account
- Please give accurate details and keep your password private.
- If you're under 13, a parent or carer must create your account or give permission for you to use it.
- Parents and teachers should only add or link accounts of students they are responsible for or teach. If you create an account for a student, you agree to these terms on their behalf and should go through them together.
- You're responsible for activity on your account. Tell us straight away if you think someone else has used it.
Using Lobe Limpet fairly
Please don't misuse the service: no trying to break or overload it, access other people's accounts, copy content in bulk, or upload anything unlawful, offensive or that you don't have the right to share. AI features have fair daily and monthly allowances so the service stays affordable for everyone.
Content and accuracy
We work hard to make questions, notes and model answers accurate and aligned to the relevant exam specifications, and some content and marking is produced with the help of AI. Mistakes can happen, so Lobe Limpet should support your revision alongside your teachers, textbooks and exam board materials, not replace them. If you spot an error, please let us know.
Lobe Limpet is independent and not endorsed by AQA or any other exam board.
Content you create
If you create revision packs, questions, notes or flashcards, you keep ownership of them. You give us permission to store and display them so the service can work, including to the students or classes you share them with.
Material you build revision from
You can turn material into revision: photos and files (such as worksheets and class notes), text you paste, and links to web pages (such as BBC Bitesize). When you do:
- Only use material you're allowed to use for your own or your students' revision. School worksheets and public revision websites are usually fine for this; selling or republishing them isn't.
- The AI reads it to write notes and questions in its own words. For web pages, we keep only the link (shown to students as "Read first"), not a copy of the page. We only read a page when you ask, and we respect sites that don't allow apps to read them.
- Don't upload personal details about other people, such as names or marks on a worksheet.
- Packs made from someone else's material are for your own students. Please don't share them in the library unless the material is your own or you have permission.
- Links to other websites are provided for convenience. We aren't responsible for their content, and their own terms apply.
If you think something in Lobe Limpet uses your work without permission, please contact us and we'll look into it and remove it where appropriate.
Sharing to the library
If you share a pack to the Lobe Limpet library, we check it before it appears. Once it's there, other users can copy it and use or change their copy for revision. You can ask us to remove it at any time, but copies already made may stay with the people who made them. We can turn down or remove packs, for example if they contain mistakes, personal details or material that isn't yours to share.
Free and Plus
Lobe Limpet is free to use, with no adverts. Lobe Limpet Plus adds extra features, such as creating revision with AI. Parents and teachers get a one-off free try of creating with AI. Plus is currently in early access and switched on by request; before we take any payment, we'll explain the price and terms clearly, including how to cancel, and nothing you're already using for free will be taken away without notice.
Availability and changes
We aim to keep Lobe Limpet running smoothly but can't promise it will always be available or error-free. We may update features or these terms; if changes are significant, we'll let you know in the app.
Ending your account
You can stop using Lobe Limpet and delete your account at any time from your profile (or ask us to). A parent who created a student's account can delete it too. We may suspend accounts that break these terms.
Our responsibility
Nothing in these terms limits your legal rights as a consumer. Beyond that, we're not responsible for exam results or for losses that weren't reasonably foreseeable.
The legal bit
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. If you have a concern, please contact us first and we'll do our best to sort it out.
