SLAN Terms & Conditions

The agreement between you and SLAN for using our AI learning assistants and related services.

Effective 2026-07-06 · Last updated 2026-07-06


1. Agreement to these Terms

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Nabita FZ-LLC, a company registered in the Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ), UAE, licence no. SFFO0689, registered address Compass Building, Al Shohada Road, Al Hamra Industrial Zone-FZ, Ras Al Khaimah, UAE ("SLAN", "we", "us", "our"), governing your access to and use of the SLAN website, applications, AI learning assistants, and related services (the "Services").

By creating an account or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Notice, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

These Terms apply to two types of users:

  • Learners — individuals who use the Services to learn and interact with our AI assistants.
  • Experts / Course Creators ("Experts") — individuals who contribute knowledge and materials used to build and operate AI assistants.

Sections that apply only to one group are marked accordingly. Additional terms (for example, a separate Contributor Agreement for Experts or paid-plan terms) may also apply and, where they conflict with these Terms, the additional terms control for that subject.


2. Eligibility

You must be 18 years of age or older to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. The Services are not directed to, and may not be used by, anyone under 18.


3. Your account

You agree to provide accurate information, keep your credentials secure, and be responsible for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at hello@slan.co of any unauthorised use. We may refuse, suspend, or terminate accounts as described in Section 13.


4. The Services and AI assistants

SLAN provides AI-powered learning assistants built using knowledge contributed by Experts.

  • Third-party AI models. Our assistants are powered in part by third-party AI model providers, which we use under their paid/enterprise terms. Under those terms, your prompts and the assistants' responses are not used to train the providers' AI models, and we do not use your personal data to train AI models. We may change providers over time while maintaining comparable data-protection commitments.
  • Memory (Learners). The optional Memory feature is off by default and only operates with your consent. You can view, edit, delete, or turn it off at any time, as described in the Privacy Notice.
  • Changes to the Services. We may add, modify, or discontinue features at any time. We will give reasonable notice of material adverse changes where practicable.

5. AI output — important disclaimers

Please read this section carefully; it affects your rights.

  • AI outputs may be inaccurate. Content generated by our AI assistants may be incomplete, out of date, or incorrect, and may not suit your specific circumstances. You are responsible for reviewing and independently verifying any AI output before relying on or acting on it.
  • Not professional advice. The Services and AI outputs are for learning and informational purposes only and do not constitute medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice. Do not rely on them as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.
  • No outcome guarantee. We do not guarantee any particular learning result, qualification, or outcome from using the Services.

6. Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

This AUP forms part of these Terms and applies to all users. You must comply with it, and you are responsible for ensuring anyone using your account does too. Because our Services rely on third-party AI providers, you must also comply with those providers' applicable use policies, which prohibit similar conduct.

You must not:

  1. Break the law — use the Services for any unlawful purpose, or to facilitate, promote, or carry out illegal activity.
  2. Harm others — generate, upload, or distribute content that is harassing, defamatory, hateful, threatening, sexually exploitative, or that depicts or facilitates abuse, in particular any content that sexualises or endangers minors.
  3. Infringe rights / upload content you don't have rights to — upload, paste, submit, or use any text, files, documents, images, or other material that infringes intellectual-property, privacy, or other rights, unless you own it or have the necessary rights, licences, or consent to upload it and to let us process it for the Services. Do not submit third-party personal data without a lawful basis or consent. This applies to all users, including Learners who upload or paste text or files into an assistant.
  4. Misuse personal data — use the Services or AI outputs to make automated decisions that significantly affect individuals in regulated contexts without appropriate human review.
  5. Attack or undermine the Services — attempt to gain unauthorised access, disrupt, overload, or interfere with the Services or their security, or circumvent usage limits, rate limits, or safety features.
  6. Reverse engineer or extract — reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or attempt to extract or replicate the underlying AI models, model weights, prompts, datasets, or other components of the Services, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law.
  7. Build competing models — use the Services, or any output, to train, fine-tune, or develop a competing AI model or service.
  8. Generate prohibited content — attempt to bypass safety measures or use the Services to produce content that violates these Terms or the applicable AI providers' use policies (for example, malware, weapons instructions, or other dangerous content).
  9. Misrepresent AI content — present AI-generated output in a deceptive way, or imply it is human-generated where this would mislead, contrary to applicable transparency laws.
  10. Resell or misuse — resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Services except as expressly permitted.

We may investigate suspected violations and may remove content, suspend, or terminate access (Section 13). We may also be required to report certain activity to our AI providers or to authorities.


7. Your content and licence to us

"Your Content" means content you submit to the Services, including messages to AI assistants and, for Experts, contributed materials.

  • You keep ownership. As between you and SLAN, you retain the rights you hold in Your Content.
  • Licence to operate the Services. You grant SLAN a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, process, and use Your Content solely to provide, secure, and improve the Services for you, consistent with the Privacy Notice. We do not use Your Content to train third-party AI models.
  • Uploads — your responsibility. You may be able to upload, paste, or attach text and files. You represent and warrant that, for everything you submit, you own it or have all rights, licences, and consents needed to submit it and to let us process it for the Services, and that it does not infringe any third party's intellectual-property, privacy, or other rights or violate any law or the AUP. You are solely responsible for what you upload.
  • Removal. We may, but are not obliged to, review content, and we may remove, disable, or restrict access to any content that we reasonably believe breaches these Terms or the law, or in response to a valid complaint. To report content you believe infringes your rights, contact us at privacy@slan.co with details of the content and your rights; we will review and may remove the content and, for repeat infringers, restrict or terminate the account.

8. Expert / Course Creator content (Experts only)

This section applies in addition to Section 7.

  • You retain your intellectual property. You keep ownership of and all intellectual-property rights in the materials and knowledge you contribute ("Contributed Materials").
  • Licence to SLAN. You grant SLAN a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, process, adapt, and incorporate the Contributed Materials solely to build, operate, and improve the AI learning assistants and the Services (including retrieval-augmented generation and related processing).
  • Automated processing. You acknowledge that building and operating an assistant involves automated, internal processing of the Contributed Materials to generate learning structures and other intermediate materials used to run the Services.
  • Warranties. You represent that you own or are licensed to provide the Contributed Materials, that they do not infringe any third-party rights, and that they comply with the AUP.
  • Removal. If you remove Contributed Materials or your account is terminated, we will cease using them on a forward-going basis within a reasonable period, subject to our need to retain copies as required by law or for backup/security.

Commercial, compensation, and detailed licensing terms for Experts are set out in these Terms and the applicable plan agreed at signup.


9. Our intellectual property

The Services — including the platform, software, user interfaces, AI assistant configurations, documentation, trademarks, and all frameworks, syllabi, structures, and other materials generated by the system in operating the Services — are owned by SLAN or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited rights expressly granted to you, we reserve all rights, title, and interest in and to the Services and any improvements to them.

Output to Learners. Subject to these Terms and your compliance with them, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the AI outputs generated for you for your own learning. You acknowledge that the Services may generate the same or similar output for other users.

You agree not to remove or obscure any proprietary notices, and not to use our name, logos, or trademarks without our prior written consent.


10. Fees and payment

Paid plans are purchased by Experts / Course Creators (the "paying customer"), who then make assistants available to their Learners. Learners generally do not pay SLAN directly; where Learner usage is billed (for example, guest-mode overages), it is billed to the Expert who configured that access. This Section sets out the general payment terms for Experts.

10.1 Plans, limits, and usage

The Services are offered under the plans described at pricing page, including monthly subscriptions, per-cohort runs, and annual commitments. Each plan includes defined limits (for example, numbers of courses, AI assistants, files, web sources, enrolled students, active cohorts, cohort duration, and messages). You are responsible for staying within your plan's limits and for the size of the cohort you enable. We may meter usage and display it in your account.

10.2 Overages and add-ons

Where a feature is billed by usage (for example, guest-mode message overages or seat conversions), additional charges apply as described at pricing page or as agreed with our sales team. We will measure usage as described in the Service, and overages may be billed automatically. Setup and onboarding ("professional services") fees are billed separately from platform fees and are described at pricing page or in a separate order/statement of work.

10.3 Payment processing (Stripe)

Payments are processed by Stripe, our third-party payment processor, by card and/or by invoice. By providing a payment method, you authorise us (via Stripe) to charge that method for all fees due, including recurring subscription fees, per-cohort fees, applicable overages, and professional-services fees, on the schedule for your plan. Your use of Stripe is subject to Stripe's applicable terms and privacy policy. We do not store full payment-card details; these are handled by Stripe. SLAN is the merchant of record for payments processed through Stripe (standard Stripe billing, confirmed).

10.4 Invoicing and late payment

Where we bill by invoice, payment is due within net 14 days of the invoice date unless stated otherwise. If a payment fails or is overdue, we may retry the charge, suspend or restrict access to the Services (including your Learners' access) until payment is made, and/or charge late fees or interest to the extent permitted by law. Continued use during any notice or grace period does not waive your obligation to pay.

10.5 Auto-renewal and cancellation

Subscription plans (monthly) and annual commitments renew automatically for successive terms at the then-current rate, and the applicable payment method will be charged, unless you cancel before the renewal date. You can cancel at any time from your account settings, and cancellation is as easy as signing up. Where required by law, we will send renewal reminders before charging. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid term; you keep access until then. Per-cohort runs are one-time purchases and do not auto-renew.

10.6 Refunds

Except where required by law or expressly stated, fees are non-refundable, including professional-services fees and fees for a started cohort run. Consumers in the EU/UK may have a statutory right to cancel within a withdrawal period; where you ask us to begin the Services during that period, you acknowledge you may lose that right once the Services are fully performed, to the extent permitted by law. Nothing here limits non-waivable consumer rights.

10.7 Taxes

Fees are exclusive of taxes (such as UAE VAT, or VAT, GST, or sales tax in your jurisdiction) unless stated. We may charge UAE VAT where applicable, and other taxes may be calculated and collected through Stripe based on your location and tax status. You are responsible for applicable taxes and for providing accurate billing and tax information.

10.8 Price changes

We may change fees and plan limits. For recurring plans, we will give at least 30 days' notice before a change takes effect, and the change applies from your next renewal. Your continued use after the change takes effect constitutes acceptance; if you do not agree, you may cancel before the change applies.


11. Privacy and data protection

Our handling of personal data is described in the Privacy Notice, which forms part of these Terms. By using the Services you acknowledge that data is processed as described there, including the use of third-party AI model providers and the storage and transfer arrangements set out in that notice.


The Services may integrate with or link to third-party services (including AI model providers). We are not responsible for third-party services, and your use of them may be subject to their own terms.


13. Suspension and termination

  • By you. You may stop using the Services and close your account at any time.
  • By us. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms (including the AUP), if required by law, or to protect the Services or other users.
  • Effect. On termination, your right to use the Services ends. Sections that by their nature should survive (including Sections 5–9, 14–17) will survive. We handle your data after termination as described in the Privacy Notice.

14. Disclaimers of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that AI outputs will be accurate or reliable. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you.


15. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • SLAN will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business, arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms.
  • SLAN's total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Services or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Services in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $100.
  • Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law (for example, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or certain consumer or data-protection rights).

16. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless SLAN and its affiliates from claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising out of your breach of these Terms (including the AUP), Your Content, or your misuse of the Services.


17. Governing law and disputes

17.1 Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and applicable UAE federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

17.2 Arbitration (ICC)

Subject to Section 17.3, all disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the said Rules. For the purposes of that arbitration:

  • the number of arbitrators shall be one (1);
  • the seat (legal place) of the arbitration shall be the DIFC, Dubai, UAE;
  • the language of the arbitration shall be English; and
  • the law governing these Terms is as stated in Section 17.1.

The arbitral award shall be final and binding on the parties, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

17.3 Consumers and exceptions

If you use the Services as a consumer, this arbitration agreement does not deprive you of any mandatory consumer-protection rights in your country of residence. Consumers in the EU/EEA and UK (and others where pre-dispute arbitration is not binding on consumers) may instead bring or defend claims in their local courts, and nothing in this Section limits those rights or any non-waivable data-protection rights. In addition, either party may (a) seek interim or injunctive relief from a competent court, including the DIFC Courts, to protect its intellectual property or confidential information; and (b) pursue claims that qualify in a small-claims forum where available.


18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the Services or by email and update the "Last updated" date. Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Services.


19. General

  • Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Notice, and any additional terms (including the Contributor Agreement) are the entire agreement between you and SLAN.
  • Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
  • Force majeure. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
