Terms of Service

By accessing or using brightsat.today or any BrightSAT feature ("the Service") you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and by our Privacy Policy, Refund Policy, and Score Improvement Guarantee page, each incorporated here by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

BrightSAT is an independent, web-based study service for the Digital SAT. It offers Bluebook-style full-length practice tests, a question bank with per-choice explanations, targeted practice, vocabulary tools, score estimates on the 400–1600 scale, and study analytics. Some features are free with a confirmed-email account; others require an active Premium subscription.

Fair-use limits apply to keep the Service available for every learner. Practice sessions, question fetches, and answer checks are rate-limited; abusive traffic may be throttled or blocked automatically.

You must be at least 13 years old to use BrightSAT. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom you must be at least 16 unless a parent or guardian consents on your behalf. If you are between 13 and 18 (or the age of majority in your country) you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or guardian, and your parent or guardian agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf. By using BrightSAT you confirm that you meet these requirements.

You need a BrightSAT account with a confirmed email address to use any study feature. You are responsible for keeping your password (or provider login) secure, for all activity under your account, and for keeping your email address current so we can reach you about the Service. Notify us at amangeldibekaidar00@gmail.com if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.

One person, one account. You may not share your account, sell it, or let another person practice under it.

You agree not to do any of the following, and not to help anyone else do them:

• Use BrightSAT for any illegal purpose or in violation of any applicable law.
• Copy, scrape, mirror, resell, redistribute, or make derivative works from BrightSAT questions, explanations, tests, or analytics.
• Use BrightSAT during a live SAT, PSAT, or other exam, or to cheat on any exam.
• Circumvent rate limits, authentication, subscription checks, or other security measures.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the Service.
• Upload malware or harmful code, or use the Service to attack any user or system.
• Use bots, crawlers, or headless browsers except for search-engine indexing of public pages.
• Submit content that infringes intellectual-property, privacy, or publicity rights of others.
• Post content that is unlawful, harassing, hateful, threatening, sexually explicit involving minors, or otherwise abusive.

You keep ownership of the content you submit ("Your Content") — for example, your answers, notes, and profile information. You grant BrightSAT a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, process, transmit, and display Your Content solely to operate, secure, and improve the Service for you.

BrightSAT does not use Your Content to train its own AI models. BrightSAT's AI providers (Anthropic and OpenAI) are contractually prohibited from training their models on Your Content and operate under zero data-retention terms for our workloads.

You represent and warrant that you have the right to submit Your Content and that Your Content does not violate these Terms or any third-party right.

Explanations, score estimates, targeted-practice recommendations, summaries, and similar outputs may be generated in whole or in part by AI models. AI output is probabilistic. It may contain factual errors, hallucinations, or content that does not match the intent of your question. You are responsible for using judgement before relying on AI output, and you should not treat AI output as legal, medical, financial, or academic-admissions advice.

Score estimates are educational estimates only. They are not official College Board scores and are not a prediction of your official Digital SAT result.

You acknowledge that BrightSAT uses AI models operated by third parties (currently Anthropic and OpenAI) to generate parts of the Service. Their availability and behavior are not fully within our control. BrightSAT does not guarantee that AI output will be accurate, complete, current, useful, or free from bias. BrightSAT is not liable for decisions you make based on AI output, including study decisions, test-registration decisions, or admissions decisions.

The Service uses third-party providers to operate: Supabase for authentication and database, Stripe for subscription checkout and billing, Anthropic and OpenAI for AI features, and the hosting and CDN provider disclosed at the time. Your use of features that involve those providers is also subject to their terms and privacy policies, listed in our Privacy Policy.

Premium is a paid, auto-renewing subscription. Pricing, tax, and billing frequency are shown at checkout by Stripe, our payment processor. By subscribing you authorize Stripe to charge your chosen payment method on each renewal date until you cancel.

You can cancel future renewals at any time from your account or by contacting amangeldibekaidar00@gmail.com before the next renewal date. Cancellation stops future charges but does not automatically refund a billing period already paid, except as required by law or as described in the Refund Policy.

If a payment fails, is disputed, is refunded, or cannot be verified, Premium access may be reduced or removed until the issue is resolved.

Prices, features, and plan structure may change. We will provide reasonable notice of material price changes and give you the opportunity to cancel before they take effect.

BrightSAT and its licensors own the Service, the BrightSAT name and logo, the site design, source code, question bank, explanations, analytics, tests, and all related content, except for Your Content. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right, title, or interest in the Service other than the limited right to use it for your personal SAT preparation while these Terms are in effect.

SAT and Digital SAT are trademarks of College Board. BrightSAT is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by College Board.

You may stop using the Service at any time and can request account deletion from the Data Deletion page.

BrightSAT may suspend or terminate your account, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraud, abused the Service, damaged other users, or exposed BrightSAT to legal risk. On termination, your right to use the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive — including sections 5–8 and 11–18 — will survive.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. BRIGHTSAT DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR THAT ANY AI-GENERATED CONTENT WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, OR APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR PURPOSE. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM THE SERVICE CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. In those jurisdictions, the above exclusions apply to the maximum extent permitted by law, and you may have additional statutory rights that cannot be waived.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BRIGHTSAT AND ITS OPERATORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF REPUTATION, LOSS OF STUDY TIME, MISSED TEST-DAY OUTCOMES, MISSED ADMISSIONS OR SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, OR ANY SIMILAR LOSSES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BRIGHTSAT'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID BRIGHTSAT FOR PREMIUM IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. In those jurisdictions, the above limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted by law and you may have additional statutory rights that cannot be waived, including mandatory consumer rights.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BrightSAT and its operators from any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) Your Content; (b) your use of the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of any applicable law; or (e) your violation of any third-party right.

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the substantive laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. This choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection rules of the country where you live.

Informal resolution first. Before starting a formal proceeding, you agree to email amangeldibekaidar00@gmail.com describing the dispute so we can try to resolve it. If we cannot resolve it within 60 days, either of us may proceed.

Arbitration. Any dispute that is not resolved informally, and that is not brought in a court that has mandatory jurisdiction, will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the Kazakhstan International Arbitration Centre (KIAC) under its rules in force at the time the arbitration is commenced, by a single arbitrator, with the seat of arbitration in Almaty and the language of arbitration in English (or Russian at your election). The arbitrator's decision will be final and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class-action waiver. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you and BrightSAT agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. If a court finds this class-action waiver unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim will be severed and heard in court, but the remainder of this section will remain in force.

Opt-out. You may opt out of arbitration and the class-action waiver by emailing amangeldibekaidar00@gmail.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, with your account email and a clear statement that you are opting out. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved by the competent courts of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Kazakh consumers. If you are a consumer residing in the Republic of Kazakhstan, you retain the right under the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Consumer Rights Protection" to bring a claim in a court at your place of residence or at BrightSAT's place of registration, and the arbitration clause above will apply only to the extent permitted by Kazakh consumer-protection law.

Small claims. Nothing in this section prevents either party from bringing an individual claim in small-claims or equivalent lower-instance court where allowed.

Some jurisdictions do not permit binding arbitration or class-action waivers. If you are covered by such a rule, this section applies to the maximum extent permitted by law and your mandatory local rights remain in force.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes we will provide additional notice — for example an in-product banner or an email to the address on your account — before the change takes effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service and, if you have Premium, cancel your subscription before the next renewal.

For questions about these Terms, for account or billing issues, or to send a copyright takedown notice, email amangeldibekaidar00@gmail.com from the address connected to your BrightSAT account. Copyright notices should include the material you claim is infringing, the material that allegedly infringes it (with URLs), your contact information, and a good-faith statement under penalty of perjury that you are the rightholder or authorized to act for the rightholder.
