Agreement and eligibility
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Grant Williams, a Georgia sole proprietor doing business as Flante ("Flante," "we," "us," or "our"), governing this website, the Flante macOS application, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
The paid pilot is invitation-only and limited to currently enrolled Mercer University students with a confirmed eligible email domain. You must provide accurate account and eligibility information, may use only an account issued to you, and may be asked to reverify eligibility annually. You must be at least 18 and legally authorized to make a purchase. The Service is not offered for purchase by a minor.
Educational use only
Flante is an educational study and organization tool. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, patient-specific recommendations, or professional clinical guidance, and it is not a substitute for course requirements, clinical judgment, an instructor, or an authoritative clinical resource. Do not use Flante to make decisions about a patient or during a medical emergency. Always independently verify material before relying on it.
AI-generated material
Flante uses artificial intelligence. Output can be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, misleading, or unsupported, and may not be unique. Citations, links, evidence labels, coverage checks, and repair passes can help you review output but do not guarantee that a statement is correct, complete, noninfringing, or suitable for any purpose. You are responsible for reviewing outputs and for how you use, edit, share, cite, or submit them. Do not represent AI-generated work as solely your own where your school, instructor, publisher, or applicable rule requires disclosure or prohibits that use.
Your account
You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for activity under your account. One device may own an account session at a time, and a new sign-in may end an earlier device session. Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access. You may not share, sell, transfer, or provide access to your account. We may reject, suspend, or terminate access when reasonably necessary to protect the Service, enforce these Terms, meet legal obligations, or address suspected fraud or abuse.
Your materials and permitted resources
You retain any rights you have in materials you submit ("Input"). You may submit only material that you are authorized to use and disclose to Flante and its service providers. Authorization may arise from ownership, permission, a license, the public domain, or another lawful basis such as fair use; educational purpose alone does not automatically make every use lawful. You are responsible for complying with copyright, contract, confidentiality, academic-integrity, privacy, and institutional rules.
Flante is not configured for HIPAA-regulated use and does not enter into a business associate agreement through these Terms. Never submit identifiable patient information or protected health information. Do not submit confidential institutional data, nonpublic examinations or answer keys, education records, or another person’s sensitive information unless you have express authority to disclose it to Flante and every provider involved and Flante has expressly approved that use in writing.
Permission to process Input
You grant Flante a limited, worldwide, nonexclusive license to host, copy, transmit, format, analyze, and otherwise process Input and instructions only as needed to provide, secure, maintain, and improve the Service, comply with law, and enforce these Terms. This permission lasts while the Input is being processed or retained under the Privacy Policy. You represent that you have the rights needed to grant this permission.
Output and exports
As between you and Flante, and to the extent permitted by law, you may use and own the output created for you. This does not give you ownership of Input you did not own, third-party source material, trademarks, or material that cannot be owned under applicable law. Similar or identical output may be generated for others. You are responsible for exported files and for confirming that your use or distribution of Input and output respects third-party rights and applicable rules.
Acceptable use
You may not use the Service to violate law or another person’s rights; process material you lack authority to disclose; harm, threaten, exploit, or impersonate others; create malware or facilitate cyber abuse; submit deceptive or fraudulent requests; reverse engineer or extract nonpublic components except where law expressly permits; bypass eligibility, account, device, rate, safety, security, or generation controls; probe or disrupt the Service; use automated or excessive workloads outside provided interfaces; scrape or harvest data; resell, sublicense, or share access; use output to develop a competing AI model; or help another person do any of these things.
Google Drive, Anki, and other services
Optional integrations are governed by their providers’ terms and policies. Google Drive export accesses files the app creates or that you explicitly select under the requested drive.file scope. Flante may create folders, documents, and figure assets in the location you choose. AnkiConnect can read selected card content and, only after your review and confirmation, move approved existing cards and create approved cards and decks. Review the confirmation screens and back up important collections before approving changes.
We do not control and are not responsible for third-party services, their availability, or changes made outside Flante. Disconnecting an integration from Flante may not delete exported files or information held by that provider. "Mercer," "Google," "OpenAI," "Supabase," "Paddle," "Anki," and related names belong to their respective owners. Flante is an independent service and is not sponsored, endorsed, approved, or operated by Mercer University or those providers. Eligibility language identifies the intended users and does not imply affiliation.
Flante materials and feedback
The Service, excluding your Input and output, including its software, design, branding, documentation, and nonpublic systems, is owned by Grant Williams doing business as Flante or its licensors and protected by law. Subject to these Terms and an active entitlement, Flante grants you a personal, limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use the app for your own study. If you voluntarily provide feedback, you grant Flante a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free right to use it without restriction or compensation, without identifying you publicly unless you agree.
Subscription, trial, and renewal
Invited Mercer students may begin a seven-day full-product trial. Unless canceled before the trial ends, the subscription automatically converts to a paid monthly subscription. Eligible founding subscribers are charged $14.99 per month for their first 12 paid months; the standard $19.99 monthly price applies afterward. Applicable tax may be added at checkout. There is no annual plan during the pilot.
Paddle is the merchant of record and seller for the checkout transaction. Paddle processes payment information, applicable transaction taxes, receipts, payment recovery, refunds, and its buyer-facing billing support. Flante does not receive complete card details. Prices, the first charge date, automatic-renewal terms, and any tax are shown before purchase.
You may cancel online through the Manage Subscription link in Flante. Ordinary cancellation stops future renewals and access continues through the already-paid period. Deleting your Flante account requests immediate subscription cancellation and ends access; deletion is not a method for obtaining a prorated refund. If the first paid charge was accidental, contact support within 48 hours. Flante will normally authorize a full refund when there has not been substantial use. Other refunds are provided where required by law or when the purchased Service was not delivered. Paddle and payment-method processing times apply.
"Unlimited" means legitimate personal study use through the provided interfaces. It excludes automated, shared, resold, abusive, or unusually burdensome use. We may investigate unusual activity and apply proportionate safeguards, but we will not impose undisclosed per-objective charges. A failed payment may receive a short grace period before access is suspended.
Availability, changes, and termination
The Service is a paid pilot. Features, future prices, eligibility, limits, providers, and availability may change prospectively, and the Service may be interrupted, limited, or discontinued. We will not change the price of an already-started billing period. You may stop using the Service at any time and may delete your account in the app. We may suspend or terminate access for a violation of these Terms, risk to users or the Service, legal requirements, prolonged inactivity, loss of eligibility, or discontinuation. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination—including payment obligations, ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, and dispute provisions—will survive.
Copyright concerns
If you believe material processed or made available through Flante infringes your copyright, email flantenotes@gmail.com with your contact information, identification of the protected work and challenged material, its location, the basis for your claim, and a statement that the information you provide is accurate. We may remove or restrict material and terminate repeat infringers where appropriate. This contact procedure is not a representation that Flante has designated a Digital Millennium Copyright Act agent.
Disclaimer of warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service and all output are provided "as is" and "as available." Flante disclaims all express, implied, and statutory warranties, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, noninfringement, availability, and security. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, that citations will remain available, or that output will satisfy course, licensing, accreditation, or clinical standards. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Flante and its service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost data, lost profits, lost opportunities, academic consequences, or harm arising from reliance on output, even if advised that such harm was possible. Flante’s total liability arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid Flante for the Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or US $100.
These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law, and your jurisdiction may provide rights or remedies that override part of this section.
Disputes and applicable law
Before filing a claim, you and Flante agree to try in good faith for 30 days to resolve the dispute informally by emailing the contact below with a description of the issue and requested resolution. These Terms are governed by Georgia law, without overriding consumer protections that apply where you live. Nothing here prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief or using a court or other forum available under nonwaivable law.
Changes to these Terms
We may revise these Terms as the Service or legal requirements change. We will post revised Terms with a new last-updated date and provide additional notice when required. Changes apply prospectively from their stated effective date. If you do not agree to revised Terms, you must stop using the Service.
General
These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Flante regarding the Service unless separate written terms apply. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will remain effective. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; Flante may assign them in connection with a reorganization, financing, merger, acquisition, or transfer of the Service.
