Terms of Use

Last updated: 6 October 2026

These are the rules for using Pudding. They are short on purpose. By using Pudding you agree to them.

What is Pudding, and who am I dealing with?

Pudding, in full "Pudding for Study", is a study app at pudding4study.app. It makes flashcards, quizzes and lecture notes from your own course. It is made and run by one independent developer in Adelaide, South Australia: [[OWNER: legal name]], ABN [[OWNER: ABN if registered]]. In these terms "we" and "us" mean that developer.

Who can use Pudding?

Accounts are for people aged 16 and over. Keep your password to yourself. Your account is for you, not for sharing. Paying for a plan is entering a contract. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian needs to agree to the purchase and make the payment with you.

What plans are there, and what do they cost?

  • Free. No payment.
  • Weekly. Billed every week. You can cancel any week. You can pause it for up to 12 weeks.
  • Annual, when the app offers it. Billed once a year, renews every year until you cancel. It cannot be paused.
  • Lifetime. One payment.

Prices are shown in the app before you pay, and they are in Australian dollars. The price on the button is the whole price: there are no sign-up, booking or exit fees. If a discount or student price applies, the button already shows the discounted amount. Payments are taken by Stripe. Pudding never sees or stores your card number. If your card is not in Australian dollars, your bank may add its own conversion fee; that fee is your bank's, and we never receive it.

How do I cancel or pause Weekly?

Weekly renews automatically every week, at the price shown beside the button when you bought it, until you cancel. You can cancel in any week, and you will not be billed again after that. You can also pause the plan for up to 12 weeks.

To cancel: open Pudding, go to Settings, then Your plan, and press Manage billing or cancel. That opens Stripe's billing page, where you cancel with one button. Cancelling stops the next charge. The week you have already paid for runs to its end. Pausing is on the same card.

How does the free trial work?

When the app offers it, Weekly can start with a free trial. The plans page says how many days it lasts, and the date and amount of the first charge, before you give a card. During the trial you get everything Weekly includes, with a limit on AI time; when that limit is reached you can start your paid week early or keep studying cards and tests until the trial ends.

  • The card. A card is needed to start the trial. Nothing is charged while it runs.
  • Before the first charge. We email you one day before the trial ends with the date and the amount, and a link that cancels in one tap.
  • Cancelling. Cancel before the trial ends and you are never charged. Use the link in that email, the trial banner in the app, or Settings, then Your plan, then Manage billing or cancel.
  • If you do not cancel. Weekly starts at the end of the trial and renews every week at the price shown, until you cancel.
  • One per person. One free trial per account and per card. If a card has already had a trial, the new trial is not started and nothing is charged; the app tells you so, and you can still choose Weekly and pay from that day.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. This is our refund policy.

  • Seven days, any plan. Within seven days of any payment (a Lifetime purchase, an Annual payment or a weekly charge) you can have that payment refunded in full, no questions asked.
  • How to ask. Use the Feedback button inside the app, or email __SZ_SUPPORT_EMAIL__. Tell us the email on your account.
  • How it is paid. The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe. Stripe usually shows it on your statement within 5 to 10 business days, depending on your bank. When a payment is refunded, the access that payment bought ends.
  • After seven days. Cancelling stops the next charge, and what you have already paid for runs to the end of its period. That is on top of, not instead of, the rights below.

Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law. Pudding comes with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. If there is a major failure with the service, you are entitled to cancel and to a refund for the unused part, or to compensation for its reduced value. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. If a failure is not a major failure, you are entitled to have it fixed within a reasonable time, and if that does not happen, to cancel and get a refund for the unused part. These rights apply whatever else these terms or the payment screen say, and at any time, not only in the first seven days.

What does "Lifetime" mean?

It means the lifetime of the product, not your lifetime. You keep Lifetime access for as long as Pudding keeps running.

If we ever shut Pudding down, [[OWNER: state the notice you intend to give before a shutdown, and how long students will have to export their data.]] You can already export everything as a file at any time from Settings, Your data. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law still apply.

What am I allowed to do with Pudding?

Use it for your own study. Please do not:

  • break into it, overload it, or get around plan limits;
  • resell it or share your account;
  • upload material you have no right to use, or anything unlawful;
  • upload files made to harm a computer or to get around the safety checks (programs, macros, hidden scripts and the like);
  • use it to harm or harass anyone.

Who owns what I upload, and who is responsible for it?

You own it, and you are responsible for it. Everything you add to Pudding (files, pasted text, links, photos, recordings) and everything Pudding makes from it for you (cards, questions, notes) is your material. We do not own it, we do not claim any licence to it beyond what the app needs to work for you, and we do not review, approve or endorse it.

  • Only add material you have the right to use. That means your own work, material you are licensed to use (for example, course material your university gives you for your study), or material you may lawfully copy for your own research or study. Do not upload anything that infringes someone else's copyright or other rights. Whether you have that right is your decision and your responsibility, not ours.
  • Your files stay with you. Pudding opens the files you add inside your own browser, on your own device. We do not upload your files to our servers, and we do not keep them or the text read from them. If you sign in, the study items made from a file (cards, questions, notes and your progress) are backed up to your account so they reach your other devices; the file itself and its full text are not. Photos, audio and video that you ask Pudding's model to read pass through our server to OpenAI to be read and are not kept by us. The Privacy Policy has the detail.
  • Safety checks. Before any file is opened, Pudding checks it automatically on your device and refuses files that are not what they claim to be, or that carry programs, macros, scripts or other hidden content. The checks reduce risk but cannot promise that every harmful file is caught, so only open files from sources you trust.
  • If a claim is made about your material. Because you choose what to upload and we do not store or control it, you are responsible for any claim that your material infringes someone's rights. As far as the law allows, if a claim is made against us because material you uploaded broke these terms, you agree to cover the reasonable losses and costs that your breach caused us. This does not apply to loss we caused ourselves, and it does not take away any right you have under the Australian Consumer Law.
  • The Pudding name, the panda, the app and the preset packs belong to us.

What if something here infringes my copyright?

Students put their own material into Pudding on their own devices, and they can share a set by link. We do not host that material, but we still respond to notices about anything reachable through Pudding. If you believe something reachable through Pudding infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated copyright agent. We act on valid notices promptly, and we close the accounts of people who infringe again and again.

Your notice needs: your physical or electronic signature; what work you say is infringed; what material you say infringes it and where to find it (a link is best); your name, address, phone number and email; a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised by you, your agent or the law; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you own the right or may act for the owner.

Designated agent (17 U.S.C. ยง512(c)(2)):
[[OWNER: agent name, exactly as registered with the US Copyright Office]]
[[OWNER: agent postal address, the same street address you register; the Copyright Office accepts a PO box only in narrow cases]]
[[OWNER: agent phone]]
Email: __SZ_SUPPORT_EMAIL__

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you can send a counter-notice to the same address. It needs your signature, what was removed and where it was, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe it was removed by mistake, your name, address and phone number, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, outside the US, any district where we may be found). If you are in Australia, you can also rely on your rights under the Copyright Act 1968 and can write to the same address.

Will Pudding write my assignment?

No. The Marking feature critiques your own draft against a rubric. It never writes the draft for you.

You are responsible for your own academic integrity obligations. Your university and your lecturers set the rules on which tools you may use and how. Check them, and follow them.

Can I rely on what Pudding tells me?

  • The preset degree packs are general first-year primers. They are not any university's syllabus, and they are not a substitute for your lecturer's material.
  • Cards, quizzes, notes, marking and transcripts are generated or extracted by software. They can be wrong. Check anything important against your course material.
  • The pace group in the league is simulated, and the app says so.
  • We do not promise that your marks or your study outcomes will improve.

What if something goes wrong?

You have guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be taken away. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits them.

Beyond those guarantees, and as far as the law allows, Pudding is provided as it is. We do not promise it will always be available or free of errors. Export your data now and then, so you have your own copy.

Can my account be closed?

You can delete your account at any time in Settings, Your data. Cancel an active Weekly plan first. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms. That does not affect your Australian Consumer Law rights.

Can these terms change?

Yes. When they do, we will update the date at the top of this page. If a change affects a plan you have paid for, [[OWNER: say how, and how far ahead, you will tell paying students.]]

Which law applies?

The law of South Australia governs these terms, and the courts of South Australia hear any dispute about them.

How do I contact you?

For a question, a refund or a complaint, you can email __SZ_SUPPORT_EMAIL__.
