Terms of Service

Last updated: September 21, 2026

This is a structured draft reflecting what this platform actually does. It has not been reviewed by a lawyer. Please have it reviewed before relying on it as your final published terms.

By creating an account or using PsiQ in any way, you agree to these Terms. If you're a student, employee, or client whose account was created by an institute or psychologist rather than yourself, these Terms still apply to your use of the platform.

1. What PsiQ is — and isn't

PsiQ provides psychology-related assessments for educational, research, screening, and (where explicitly labeled) professional use. Each assessment displays its own intended-use and evidence-status label — Standardized, Validated, Research Instrument, or Educational — reflecting what evidence actually backs that specific instrument. No assessment on PsiQ is a substitute for professional diagnosis, treatment, or clinical judgment unless that specific assessment's documentation explicitly states otherwise. PsiQ itself does not practice medicine or psychology; psychologists using the platform remain solely responsible for their own professional and ethical obligations to their clients.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be able to form a binding contract to create your own account (self-registration always creates an individual "end user" account, regardless of what role you may claim). Where a minor's account is created by an institute rather than through self-registration, the institute is responsible for that decision and any required consent. You're responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity under your account. Institute-provisioned accounts (students, institute-added psychologists) are set up and may be administered by the relevant institute administrator, including deactivation.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to: share your account credentials with anyone else; attempt to access, scrape, or infer another user's results or another institute's data; misrepresent your identity when taking an assessment on someone else's behalf without proper authorization to do so; tamper with or attempt to manipulate assessment timers, question data, or scoring (all of which are validated server-side specifically to prevent this); use the platform to generate or store content you know to be false about another identifiable person; or attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or bulk-extract assessment content or the platform's source code.

4. Role-specific terms

Institute administrators are responsible for the accuracy of student data they upload, for obtaining any consent required before adding students, and for managing seat/license limits under their subscription plan.

Psychologists represent that they hold any professional license or qualification their jurisdiction requires to administer, interpret, or bill for the type of assessment they are using with a client, and remain solely responsible for the clinical use they make of any result. PsiQ verifies professional-profile claims where a verification workflow exists, but this verification does not constitute PsiQ vouching for a psychologist's clinical competence.

Researchers are responsible for obtaining participant consent appropriate to their own institution's ethics requirements before inviting participants into a study; PsiQ's anonymized-export feature supports but does not replace your own ethics/IRB obligations.

5. Payments and subscriptions

Paid individual assessments are charged once through Razorpay at the price shown before purchase. Institute, psychologist, and researcher subscriptions are period-based with manual renewal — we do not automatically charge a saved payment method when a period ends; an unrenewed subscription simply expires, with any unused bundled credits forfeited as described on our Pricing page. See our Refund Policy for cancellation/refund terms.

6. Intellectual property

Assessment content, scoring methodology, question banks, norm tables, and the platform software itself are the property of PsiQ or its licensors. You may not copy, redistribute, publicly reproduce, or reverse-engineer assessment content. You retain ownership of any content you submit (such as case notes or study data you enter), and grant PsiQ only the license needed to store and display it back to you and to those you've authorized to see it.

7. Disclaimers

Assessments and reports are provided "as is." We do not guarantee that any assessment's results are clinically valid unless that assessment is explicitly labeled as a validated/standardized instrument with supporting scientific documentation. Where norm-based percentiles or stanines are shown, they reflect the specific normative sample data an assessment author has actually entered for that instrument — never a universal or assumed standard, and fields stay blank rather than showing an invented number where no norm set exists.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PsiQ and its team are not liable for any decision made, or harm arising from a decision made, based on an assessment result — particularly for assessments explicitly labeled as educational, research, or experimental rather than clinically validated. Our aggregate liability for any claim arising from your use of PsiQ is limited to the amount you paid us, if any, in the twelve months preceding the claim.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify PsiQ against claims arising from your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the platform, or (for psychologists, institutes, and researchers) claims brought by your own clients, students, or participants relating to your professional conduct rather than a defect in the platform itself.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate an account that violates these Terms, including the account-lockout mechanism that already applies automatically after repeated failed login attempts as a security measure rather than a punitive one. You may delete your own account at any time as described in our Privacy Policy.

11. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of PsiQ will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located where PsiQ is registered to operate.

12. Severability and entire agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and PsiQ regarding your use of the platform.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time as the platform evolves. Continued use of PsiQ after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
