Terms & Conditions — Pele Pilot

Dear parents, thank you for joining the pilot of Pele, software designed to improve reading fluency. The service is provided free of charge for two months and learning takes place at home. Please read and accept the terms below before your child begins.

1. Reading assessment and voice recording

The system includes a reading assessment in which your child reads text aloud. You acknowledge and agree that your child’s reading will be recorded and stored in the system.

Purpose of recordings: recordings and related data are used solely to analyse your child’s reading level and to operate the learning experience. Details appear in our Privacy Policy.

Research and development: any future use of data for research or product development will be fully anonymised, without identifiable details of the child or family.

Automated analysis: the service uses automated speech-recognition technology to compare your child’s reading to the expected text. It does not make binding legal or medical decisions—only educational feedback.

2. Terms of use and home learning environment

Equipment and internet: parents are responsible for stable home internet and working equipment (computer/tablet and microphone). The project team is not liable for technical failures caused by home infrastructure or equipment.

Quiet environment: to ensure recording quality and a valid assessment, parents commit to providing a quiet workspace without background noise (TV, conversations, etc.).

Independent work: for an accurate picture of your child’s level, the reading assessment must be performed by the child alone, without parental help or word correction during recording.

3. Limitation of liability and intellectual property

The system is in development (beta) and is provided “as is”. Assessment results and in-app metrics are for learning and product development only; they are not a formal diagnosis or binding professional opinion.

The project team is not liable for any damage or claim relating to use of the system, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

You may not copy, photograph, distribute, or transfer system materials or access credentials to third parties. The operators may end the pilot or access at any time.

4. Parent or legal guardian confirmation

By creating an account and checking the consent box at signup, you confirm that you have read and understood these Terms and the Privacy Policy and agree to them.

You give consent for your child to participate in the pilot, including voice recordings as part of the reading assessment described above.

This document provides general terms for the pilot. It does not replace individual legal advice. For privacy rights and data processing, see the Privacy Policy.
