Effective date: July 26, 2026
These Terms of Use (the “Terms” or this “Agreement”) are a binding agreement between you and the operator of Flash Me (“we,” “us,” or “our” — identified at the end of these Terms under “Who we are”), and govern your access to and use of the Flash Me mobile application and any related services we provide (together, the “App”). Your privacy is covered separately by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
By using the App you confirm that you have read, understood, and accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you are using the App on behalf of another person or an organization, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms on their behalf. We may make the App available to you only on the condition that you accept these Terms in full.
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, if higher) to use the App. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the App only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms. The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. You also represent that you are not barred from using the App under the laws of Canada, your country of residence, or any other applicable jurisdiction.
Flash Me lets you turn photos and documents of your own study material into editable flashcards using artificial-intelligence (“AI”) models. You provide a photo, image, or document (“your content”); the App extracts text and images from it and uses a third-party AI service to generate flashcards, which you can then edit, organize, and study. The App also offers optional features such as Smart Organize (AI grouping of a deck), card editing, and study modes. Creating new cards and studying your decks are subject to the free allowance and subscription terms in Section 10.
The App is a study aid, not a source of truth. See Section 7.
The App is anonymous: there is no sign-up and no login, and we never ask for an email, name, or password. A random, anonymous identifier is created on your device so your content and purchases stay tied to your install. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device and for all activity that occurs through the App on it.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to download and use one copy of the App on a device you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial study use. This licence is assigned to you as a single user. You may not sell, rent, lease, sublicense, distribute, or share the App, or use the App on behalf of others as a service. We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you.
You keep ownership of your content. You grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, copy, transmit, process, and create flashcards from your content solely to operate and provide the App to you (including sending the relevant text and images to our processing service and AI provider for the sole purpose of generating your cards). This licence ends when your content and the resulting cards are deleted, except for backups or copies that take a reasonable time to remove and for any record we are required by law to keep.
Your content is private to you. Flash Me is not a sharing platform or marketplace: we do not publish your content, sell it, make it available to other users, or use it to train AI models, except as needed to provide the App to you or as described in our Privacy Policy.
You are responsible for your content. You represent and warrant that (a) you own your content or have all rights and permissions needed to upload it and have it processed into flashcards, and (b) your content and your use of the App do not infringe any third party’s rights (including copyright and privacy) or violate any law. Do not upload material you are not permitted to copy (for example, copyrighted textbooks or exam materials you do not have the right to reproduce), or other people’s private or confidential information.
Flashcards are created automatically by third-party AI services (currently Google’s Gemini models) from the content you provide. AI output can be incomplete, inaccurate, biased, out of date, or simply wrong, and the number of cards produced is an estimate, not a promise. Cards are provided as a study aid only and are not a substitute for your original source materials, nor for professional, medical, legal, financial, academic, or other expert advice. You are solely responsible for reviewing and verifying every card before relying on it. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, quality, or suitability of any card, or that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free.
You agree not to, and not to permit anyone else to:
We may monitor for, investigate, and act on violations, including by limiting, suspending, or terminating access.
You represent and warrant that your use of the App will at all times comply with these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and all applicable laws and regulations, including those governing online conduct, acceptable content, intellectual property, privacy, and the export or transfer of technical data.
A “page scan” is the unit of use: one photo, or one page or slide of a document, that the App turns into flashcards (on average about 20 cards per scan — an automatic estimate, not a promise). You are charged a page scan only when cards are actually created; a scan that produces no cards is normally free. To prevent abuse, after 10 such empty scans on a free account (a lifetime total) or 5 such empty scans in a day for a subscriber, an empty scan counts toward your allowance. Studying cards you already have never costs a page scan.
Free use includes 9 free page scans (a one-time allowance), usable for any mix of photos and documents. Once your free page scans are used up, creating new cards and studying your decks in flashcard mode both require an active Flash Me subscription or Lifetime purchase. You can always open, view, edit, organize, rename, delete, and manually add cards to your existing decks for free. To continue creating and studying, you may purchase the following through the Apple App Store or Google Play:
(a) Flash Me — Lifetime (one-time, non-consumable). A single one-time purchase that unlocks the full app without a recurring subscription. It is not a subscription and does not auto-renew. The following apply to the Lifetime purchase:
(b) Flash Me subscription (auto-renewable). Offered in Monthly, 6-month, and Yearly billing periods. All three periods include the identical features and differ only in billing period and price (longer terms cost less per month). The subscription includes, for ordinary personal study:
The subscription is licensed for a single user’s ordinary personal study. Automated, scripted, bulk, shared, abusive, or commercial-scale use may be throttled, rate-limited, suspended, or terminated, and we may adjust these allowances and limits, with notice where required.
(c) Smart Organize (available to everyone). Smart Organize is an optional AI feature that sorts a deck’s cards into named sub-decks. Every deck may be Smart Organized up to twice. This allowance refreshes when cards are added to the deck by scanning (for all users); for subscribers, it also refreshes when you add cards manually. Re-running it on an unchanged deck rarely changes the result, which is why it is capped, and the resulting groups are AI-generated and may be imperfect.
Prices are shown in the App at the point of purchase, are charged in your local currency, and may vary by region. Card counts are an estimate of value, not the unit you are charged (you are charged per subscription period, or once for the Lifetime purchase, as applicable).
The following apply to Flash Me subscriptions:
We may change the price of, or the features included in, the Flash Me subscription or the Lifetime option, and may add, modify, or discontinue plans. Price changes to a subscription take effect on your next billing period; your continued use after a change takes effect means you accept the new price, and if you do not agree you may cancel before the next period. We do not provide refunds or credits for price reductions or for plans you do not use. For purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play, price changes apply only as permitted by the store’s rules, which may require notice and, in some cases, your express consent before a new price takes effect.
All purchases are processed by Apple or Google. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies and applicable law; to request a refund, contact the store you purchased from (for Apple, reportaproblem.apple.com). We do not control store refunds.
The App relies on third-party services to function, including the Apple App Store and Google Play (distribution and payments), our hosting and processing provider, and our AI provider (Google). Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms and policies, and we are not responsible for them. The App is not sponsored, endorsed, or administered by these third parties except as expressly stated.
The App and all of its contents and features — including its software, design, text, graphics, logos, and the look and feel — are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Except for your own content and the cards generated from it, nothing in these Terms transfers any ownership to you. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, publicly display, or create derivative works from any part of the App except as expressly permitted by these Terms or by law.
“Flash Me,” our logo, and other marks, names, and graphics used in the App are our trademarks or trade dress. You may not use them in any way that is likely to cause confusion, or that disparages or discredits us, without our prior written permission.
Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, the third parties (including our AI provider) that process your content to provide the App, and how you can request deletion of your data. By using the App you consent to the practices described in the Privacy Policy.
The App and all content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, or that the App will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, to the maximum extent permitted by law. You download and use the App and rely on any generated content at your own risk. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we, our suppliers, and our licensors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, goodwill, or study outcomes, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the App, even if advised of the possibility. Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the App is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the App in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) CAD $20. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, and nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law (including, for consumers, certain statutory rights).
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to (a) your content, (b) your use of the App, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any law or of any third party’s rights.
These Terms apply for as long as you use the App. You may stop using the App and delete it at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the App or any feature at any time, with or without notice, including for any violation of these Terms or to protect the App, its users, or our rights. On termination, the licence in Section 5 ends and you must stop using the App. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 6 (your content licence to the extent needed to wind down), 7, 9, 13, 15–20, 23, and 25 — survive.
We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the App at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time; when we do, we will revise the “Effective date” above and, where appropriate, provide notice in the App. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not agree to a change, stop using the App.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable there, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Before filing any claim, you agree to first contact us at the email below and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in British Columbia, Canada, and you consent to that jurisdiction and venue, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection laws of your place of residence.
These additional terms apply when you obtain the App through the Apple App Store or Google Play (each, an “App Store”). To the extent these terms conflict with the rest of the Agreement, these terms control, but only with respect to the App obtained from that App Store.
Flash Me is operated by Odell Brown (sole proprietor), British Columbia, Canada.
