Terms of Service

Corvus ("Corvus," "we," "us") is an independently operated service based in Massachusetts. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are the agreement between you and Corvus for using the Corvus web dashboard and Chrome extension (together, the "Service").

By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

Corvus is a student dashboard that overlays Blackboard Learn. A free Chrome extension reads your own Blackboard session in your browser and syncs your courses, assignments, grades, announcements, and materials into your Corvus account. The web dashboard then gives you weighted grade math, a cross-course assignment timeline, deadline-drift detection, a per-course AI TA loaded with your syllabus, and a syllabus viewer.

Corvus is a convenience and study tool. It is not an official record, and it does not replace Blackboard or your institution's systems. Your school's grades and records remain the authoritative source.

You must be at least 13 years old and an enrolled student (or otherwise authorized user) at an institution that uses Blackboard Learn to use the Service. By using Corvus, you represent that you meet these requirements and that the information you provide is accurate.

The Corvus extension reads only what you can already see when you are signed in to Blackboard as yourself. It uses your own authenticated browser session; it does not use administrator access, it does not scrape other students' data, and it does not bypass any access control.

You agree that you will:

• use the extension only with your own Blackboard account and session;
• not use Corvus to access data you are not entitled to see;
• not attempt to break, overload, reverse-engineer, or abuse the Service or its rate limits;
• not use the Service for anything unlawful or against your institution's policies.

You are responsible for making sure your use of Corvus is consistent with your school's acceptable-use and academic-integrity policies.

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for all activity under your account. Let us know promptly if you believe your account has been compromised. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from Settings → Danger zone.

The Corvus extension is free. Access to the web dashboard costs $8.99 per month or $30 per semester (the semester rate is deliberately below the monthly rate over the same period, so committing for the semester saves you money). Prices are in U.S. dollars and exclude any tax that may apply.

Both plans renew automatically. Unless you cancel first, your plan renews at the end of each billing period (monthly for the monthly plan, each semester term for the semester plan), and the payment method on file is charged the then-current price. This continues until you cancel.

You can cancel anytime from Settings → Subscription → Manage billing, which opens the Stripe billing portal. Cancelling stops all future charges. Your access continues through the end of the period you have already paid for, and then stops. We do not cut you off mid-period.

If you change your mind shortly after your first payment, contact us within 7 days at our contact page and we'll refund it. Beyond that, payments already made for a completed or in-progress period are not refunded automatically. If something went genuinely wrong, though, tell us and we'll make it right. Renewals you forgot about count as something going wrong; ask.

Payments are processed securely by Stripe. We never see or store your full card details. If we change prices, the new price applies only to billing periods that begin after we've told you, and we'll give you notice in the product with enough time to cancel first.

We treat your academic data as sensitive. We do not train AI models on it, we do not use it for marketing, and we do not sell it. We hold it only to provide the Service to you, and you can erase all of it yourself at any time. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail on what we collect and how it's handled.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Corvus reorganizes data from Blackboard and generates AI responses that can be incomplete or wrong; grade calculations, drift alerts, and TA answers are aids, not guarantees. Always verify important academic information (deadlines, grades, and requirements) against Blackboard and your instructors before you rely on it.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Corvus and its operator will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, grades, academic standing, or opportunity, arising out of or related to your use of the Service. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Corvus's total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid Corvus in the twelve months before the claim, or fifty U.S. dollars ($50).

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

Except where prohibited by law, you and Corvus agree to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service through binding individual arbitration, rather than in court, and on an individual basis only. You and Corvus each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or any other representative proceeding. The arbitration will be conducted under the rules of a recognized arbitration provider and will take place in, or remotely from, Massachusetts.

30-day opt-out. You can opt out of this arbitration and class-action waiver. To do so, send written notice through the Corvus contact form within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and that you opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in the courts described below, and opting out won't affect any other part of these Terms.

Either party may still bring an individual claim in small-claims court where it qualifies.

You may stop using Corvus and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, misuse the Service, or where we're required to by law. On termination, the license to use the Service ends; you can delete your data before you go, and account deletion removes it as described in the Privacy Policy.

We may update these Terms as the Service changes. When we make a material change, we'll update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the product. Your continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms. If you don't agree to a change, stop using the Service and delete your account.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to the arbitration section above, any disputes not subject to arbitration will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Massachusetts, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
