Terms of Use

Acceptance of these terms

These Terms govern your use of Kevra LMS and form an agreement between you and Diego Henao, the independent operator of Kevra. By creating an account, completing onboarding, or using authenticated features, you confirm that you have read and accepted these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the authenticated service.

About the service

Kevra is a free learning management system where teachers can create courses, publish learning materials, assign activities, receive work, and provide grades and feedback. It is currently offered as a public beta, so features may be adjusted as the service improves. Kevra is an independent educational project, not the educational institution responsible for a course.

Eligibility and accounts

You must provide accurate information, use only an account you are authorized to access, and keep access to your Google account secure. If you are under the age at which you can accept these Terms on your own, you may use Kevra only with the authorization and supervision required from your parent, guardian, teacher, or educational institution. Course and institutional rules may also apply to you.

Course responsibilities

Teachers and authorized teaching staff are responsible for the courses they manage, including their content, instructions, deadlines, enrollment decisions, grades, and compliance with their institution's rules. Students are responsible for the work they submit, meeting course requirements, and following applicable academic-integrity rules. Questions or disputes about teaching or grading should first be directed to the relevant teacher or institution.

Your content

You keep ownership of the original content you upload or submit. You confirm that you have the rights needed to use that content and that it does not unlawfully infringe another person's rights. You give Kevra a limited, non-exclusive permission to store, process, display, and transmit the content only as needed to operate the service. Course members with the appropriate role may access the content as part of teaching, learning, grading, support, and academic recordkeeping.

Acceptable use

When using Kevra, you must not:

• access or try to access another person's account, a restricted course, or private information without permission;
• disrupt the service, bypass security or visibility controls, introduce malicious code, or test vulnerabilities without written authorization;
• upload unlawful, deceptive, abusive, discriminatory, or rights-infringing content; or
• use Kevra in a way that violates applicable law, these Terms, or the rules of the relevant course or institution.

Kevra content and software

Kevra's name, branding, interface, and software are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. These Terms allow you to use the service for its intended educational purpose, but they do not transfer ownership of Kevra or give you permission to copy, sell, reverse engineer, or commercially exploit the service except where the law expressly permits it.

Privacy and account controls

The Privacy Policy explains how Kevra handles personal information. You can update your profile, export your account data, and request account deletion from your settings. Some academic records may remain available for the limited purposes and retention period described in that policy.

Third-party services

Kevra uses third-party services, including Google for sign-in, to provide parts of the platform. Your use of those services is also subject to their own terms and policies. Kevra is not responsible for third-party sites or services that it does not control.

Beta availability and changes

Kevra is provided free of charge during its public beta. We work to keep the service useful, secure, and available, but beta features may change and interruptions or errors may occur. We may add, change, pause, or discontinue features when reasonably necessary to improve or protect the service. Important changes will be communicated when practical.

Suspension and ending use

You may stop using Kevra at any time and may request account deletion through settings. Kevra may restrict or suspend access when reasonably necessary to investigate misuse, protect users or course data, comply with law, or enforce these Terms. Where appropriate, we will give notice and an opportunity to resolve the issue. Ending access does not automatically erase records that must be retained under the Privacy Policy.

Responsibility and legal rights

Teachers and educational institutions, not Kevra, make course-specific academic decisions. To the extent permitted by law, Kevra is not responsible for indirect or consequential losses caused by use of, or inability to use, the public beta. Nothing in these Terms excludes any warranty, remedy, or other right that applicable law does not allow to be excluded.

Changes to these terms

Kevra may update these Terms as the service or legal requirements change. The current version and its effective date are shown above. When a material change requires renewed consent, Kevra may ask you to accept the updated version before continuing to use authenticated features.

Governing law and contact

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Colombia, without limiting any mandatory rights you may have. Before starting a formal dispute, please try to resolve the issue through the relevant teacher or institution for course-specific matters, or email support@kevra-lms.com for platform matters.
