Terms of Service
Effective October 7, 2026
These terms are an agreement between you and Kush Patel, who builds and operates Stride. By creating an account or using the app you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use Stride.
What Stride is
Stride is a study app. It connects to your iCollege (D2L Brightspace) account, syncs your courses, and uses AI to build study material and answer questions grounded in your own course material. Stride is not affiliated with Georgia State University, D2L, or Brightspace, and nothing in Stride is an official record of your grades or standing.
Your account
- You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under 18, you confirm a parent or guardian allows you to use Stride.
- Your iCollege login is yours. By signing in to iCollege inside Stride you authorize Stride to access iCollege on your behalf, only for your own account, and you confirm you are allowed to do so.
- You are responsible for keeping your Stride password private and for what happens under your account.
Using Stride honestly
Stride is a study tool. You are responsible for following your school's academic integrity rules, and for how you use anything Stride produces. Stride declines requests to complete graded work on your behalf. Do not use Stride to access anyone else's iCollege account, to scrape or redistribute course material you are not allowed to share, to probe or overload the service, or to break the law.
AI content
Study material and answers are generated by AI from your course material. They can be wrong, incomplete, or out of date. Stride shows citations so you can check the source; check them before an exam. Stride is not a substitute for your instructor or your course.
Plans and billing
- Stride has a Free plan and two paid plans: Stride Plus at $15 per month and Stride Pro at $30 per month, in US dollars. Each plan has usage limits that Stride may adjust.
- Paid plans are billed monthly by Stripe and renew automatically until you cancel.
- Cancel any time from Settings in the app (Manage billing). Your plan stays active to the end of the period you paid for. Partial periods are not refunded.
- New accounts may receive Plus features free for a limited time. When that ends you move to the Free plan unless you subscribe.
- Prices can change. You will be told before a change applies to you.
Your content
Your course material, uploads, chats, and the material Stride generates for you stay yours. You give Stride permission to store and process them to provide the service, including sending excerpts to the AI providers listed in the Privacy Policy. Stride does not sell your content and does not use it to train AI models.
Stride's content
The app, its design, and its code belong to Stride. You may use them only through the app, for your own studying.
Ending things
You can delete your account in Settings at any time. Stride may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts the service at risk, and may change or discontinue features. If Stride discontinues the service, you will be given notice and a way to export your data.
No warranty
Stride is provided as is. Stride does not promise that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that synced data from iCollege is complete or current.
Limits on liability
To the extent the law allows, Stride is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost grades or academic consequences, arising from your use of the app. Stride's total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid Stride in the twelve months before the claim.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
Changes
If these terms change in a way that matters, the effective date above changes and the app will say so. Continuing to use Stride after that means you accept the new terms.
