Terms & conditions

Slidebites is operated by Slidebites. You can reach us at hello@slidebites.com. By creating an account, using the service, or contributing financially, you accept these terms. If you are using Slidebites on behalf of an employer, trust, university or other organisation, you confirm you have authority to accept these terms for them. If you are an individual, you confirm you are of legal age in your country.

Slidebites helps clinicians and educators build short, evidence-referenced teaching sessions, present them, poll a room, issue attendance records and revise with flashcards.

Slidebites is a teaching aid, not clinical advice. Nothing produced by or shared through the service is a diagnosis, a treatment recommendation, or a substitute for your professional judgement, your local guidelines, or the care of a qualified clinician. You are responsible for verifying every clinical statement against current, local, authoritative guidance before teaching or acting on it.

• You must give accurate registration details and keep them up to date.
• You are responsible for keeping your password and any linked sign-in account secure, and for everything done under your account.
• You may sign in with email and password, or with Google or Apple. See our privacy notice for exactly what those providers share with us.
• Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.
• You can download a copy of all your data, and delete your account and the content in it, from your profile page at any time. Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone.
• We handle your personal data as described in our privacy notice, and you have the full set of UK and EU data protection rights set out there.

You must not:

• Upload or generate content containing patient-identifiable information, or any personal data you do not have a lawful basis to use.
• Use Slidebites for anything unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive or harmful, including spam.
• Infringe anyone's intellectual property, confidentiality or privacy rights.
• Interfere with the security or integrity of the service — malware, probing, penetration testing without written consent, brute-forcing, or attempts to bypass usage limits.
• Scrape, bulk-download, resell, sublicense or redistribute the service or the content of other users.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code or model prompts, except to the extent that restriction is unenforceable by law.
• Impersonate another clinician, institution or organisation.

Our full acceptable use policy forms part of these terms.

• Parts of Slidebites use automated (AI) generation to draft slides, questions, summaries, flashcards and images from the topic you provide.
• Output can be incomplete, out of date or wrong. It is not professional, clinical, legal, financial or regulatory advice, and must not be relied on without your own review.
• You are responsible for the prompts and material you submit, for confirming you have the rights to use them, and for how you use the output — including anything you present, share or publish.
• You must not use generation features to create unlawful, hateful, harassing, deceptive or deliberately misleading medical content, to produce deepfakes, or to attempt to bypass safety limits.
• Citations and links are provided to help you check claims. Always open the source and confirm it says what the slide says.
• We may filter, refuse, remove or restrict generated content, and may suspend accounts that misuse generation features.

You keep ownership of the sessions, slides, uploads, notes and flashcards you create. You grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, adapt and display that content solely to operate and improve the service for you — for example, to render your slides to an audience, generate flashcards, or produce attendance records.

If you choose to share a session, deck or card set publicly (to the library or your public profile), you grant other users a licence to view it and to teach it onward within Slidebites. You can unshare at any time; copies others have already made may remain with them.

If you believe content on Slidebites infringes your rights, email hello@slidebites.com with the material, your rights in it and your contact details. We will review, and remove content where appropriate. Repeat infringers lose access.

We own the service and everything in it that is not your content — software, design, templates, themes, documentation, the Slidebites name, logo and branding. You get a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the service for your own teaching and learning, within any plan or usage limits that apply. No other rights are granted.

We work hard to keep Slidebites reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free or loss-free operation. Features may change, be added or be withdrawn, and we may perform maintenance. We may update these terms; material changes will be posted on this page with a new "last updated" date, and continued use means you accept them.

Slidebites is free to use for education. Voluntary contributions (one-time or monthly) help cover running costs.

Payments are securely processed by Stripe, Inc. Stripe handles card processing, tax where applicable, and secure payment storage. We do not store your card details. You can change or cancel monthly support at any time through the link in your receipt, or by emailing us at hello@slidebites.com.

Monthly contributions renew automatically until cancelled. Our own refund policy also applies.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these terms, if a contribution is not paid, if we reasonably suspect fraud or a security risk, or if we are required to by law. Where it is safe and lawful to do so, we will tell you first and give you a chance to put things right. You may stop using Slidebites and delete your account at any time. On termination your licence ends; we will give you a reasonable window to export your content before deleting it, unless we must keep it by law.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the service is provided "as is" and we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, and we do not warrant that content is clinically accurate or current.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these terms is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you paid or contributed to us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) GBP 100. We are not liable for indirect, consequential or special loss, including loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or anticipated savings, or for clinical decisions taken by you or anyone attending your teaching.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law. Your statutory consumer rights are unaffected.

You will indemnify us against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your content, your use of the service in breach of these terms, or your breach of applicable law.

• You may not assign these terms without our consent; we may assign them as part of a merger, acquisition or reorganisation.
• Neither party is liable for failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
• If any provision is unenforceable, the rest continues in force.
• These terms are the entire agreement between us about the service.
• These terms and any dispute are governed by the laws of the United Kingdom, and the courts there have exclusive jurisdiction, unless mandatory local consumer law gives you the right to bring a claim where you live.
