Terms of Service

Thesisroom helps candidates prepare to defend academic work. Its rooms run a defense practice session grounded in your thesis, check your citations against the academic record, audit your chapters for structural weaknesses, and help you find sources.

Thesisroom is not a writing service. It does not write your thesis, draft your chapters, or produce text for you to submit as your own.

Thesisroom never invents a citation. Any paper it suggests is a real record from a public academic database, shown with its source, and you decide whether to read it or cite it.

Thesisroom is designed to support honest preparation, not to replace your work or to evade scrutiny. You remain the sole author of your thesis and the sole owner of the ideas in it.

You are responsible for using Thesisroom in line with the rules of your institution, your programme and your examiners. Some institutions restrict or prohibit AI-assisted tools, and some require disclosure. Those rules come first. If your institution prohibits a service like this, do not use it for that work.

You agree not to use Thesisroom to fabricate data, invent citations, or present as your own work that is not. Thesisroom does not write prose for you and does not invent citations, and you agree not to try to make it.

Thesisroom does not produce text intended to defeat plagiarism or AI-detection systems, and offers no such feature. Chapter Audit returns comments and revision prompts, not replacement prose.

It will not write your thesis. It will not invent a citation: a paper it suggests is a real record from a public academic database, shown with its source. It will not produce text designed to bypass detection. The decisions about what to read, cite and write stay yours.

You keep all rights to your thesis and everything you upload. Thesisroom claims no ownership of your work.

You grant Thesisroom only the permission needed to provide the service: to store your uploads, to process them and what you type as described in the Privacy Policy, and to show you the results. This permission ends when you delete the content or your account.

Your thesis is never used to train any AI model.

Thesisroom's analysis is an aid, not an authority. Generated questions, flags and comments can be incomplete or wrong. Check anything before relying on it; where a result rests on a passage or a source, it shows it so you can.

Thesisroom is not a substitute for your supervisor, your examiner or your institution's guidance, and it does not give legal or professional advice. The service is provided as is, without a promise that it will be uninterrupted or error-free.

You must be 16 or older to hold an account. You must give accurate information, keep your sign-in secure, and not share your account. One person may hold one account, and you are responsible for activity under it.

Paid plans are billed through Stripe. Prices and what each plan includes are on the pricing page.

You can cancel at any time from Settings. Your plan then runs to the end of the period you have paid for, and your account returns to the free tier. Your saved work stays readable for 30 days after that and is then locked until you subscribe again. Cancelling deletes nothing, and subscribing again restores access.

Apart from the first-payment refund in section 8, payments are not refunded by default. If your circumstances change, such as a defense cancelled by your institution, write to us and we will consider it.

If Thesisroom is not useful to you, your first payment is refunded in full. Email support@thesisroom.com within 30 days of your account's first payment and we refund that payment. This applies to the first payment on any plan, once per account.

This refund includes, and goes beyond, the 14-day right of withdrawal that consumers in the European Union have for contracts made online. The service starts as soon as you pay.

Later payments are not refunded. They follow normal cancellation in section 7: you can cancel at any time, and you are not charged again.

A Lab Cohort gives a group shared access under one subscription. The cohort owner manages seats and is responsible for who they invite. Members have access while the cohort subscription is active, and lose it if the cohort ends or their seat is removed.

You agree not to misuse the service: not to try to reach another user's data, not to scrape or overload the service, not to get around usage limits or access controls, not to reverse engineer the product, and not to use it for anything unlawful.

We may suspend or end access if these terms are broken, if the service is misused, or if the law requires it. You can stop using Thesisroom and delete your account at any time. The sections that by their nature should survive, such as ownership, limitations and liability, continue to apply.

As far as the law allows, Thesisroom is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for academic outcomes, for decisions made by your examiners, or for reliance on output you did not check. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited.

We may update these terms. If a change is material, we update the date at the top and, where appropriate, tell you. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept the updated terms.

These terms are governed by French law. If you are a consumer, you keep the protections of the law of the country where you live that cannot be set aside, and you can bring a claim before the courts of that country.
