Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-06-05

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Larnnit. By creating an account or using the platform you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, our Acceptable Use Policy, our Cookie Policy, our Refund & Cancellation Policy, and (if you sell or tutor) our Marketplace Seller Terms or Tutor Agreement. Together with this page, those documents form the full agreement between you and Larnnit (the “Agreement”).

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Larnnit (16 in the European Economic Area unless your parent or guardian consents). If you use Larnnit on behalf of a university or organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind them.

2. Your account

  • Provide accurate registration information and keep it current.
  • You are responsible for activity under your account. Keep your password secret.
  • Notify us immediately at security@larnnit.com of any unauthorised access.
  • One account per person, except where Larnnit explicitly authorises additional accounts (e.g. tutor + student under one identity).

3. Acceptable use

The full list of prohibited conduct is in our Acceptable Use Policy. At a high level, you agree not to:

  • Post or share content that is unlawful, harassing, defamatory, hateful, sexually explicit involving minors, or that infringes intellectual property.
  • Impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with a university.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to any account, server, or system.
  • Use bots, scrapers, or automated tools to access the platform without our written permission.
  • Interfere with the operation of Larnnit (DDoS, deliberate overload, exploitation of bugs).
  • Use Larnnit to facilitate academic fraud (selling completed assignments, ghostwriting graded work).
  • Bypass content moderation, paid features, or platform fees.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules, with or without notice.

4. Your content

You retain ownership of the content you upload (posts, reels, comments, messages, tutor materials, listings). By uploading you grant Larnnit a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt, publish, transmit, and display that content solely to operate, promote, and improve the platform. This licence ends when you delete the content, except for backups and content already shared with other users.

5. Tutors, marketplace, and payments

  • Tutors set their own rates. Larnnit retains a platform commission (currently 35%) on tutor earnings; book sellers pay a 15% commission on marketplace sales.
  • Payments are processed by Paystack and Safaricom M-Pesa (and Stripe where enabled). You agree to their respective terms in addition to ours.
  • Refunds follow the Refund & Cancellation Policy. Disputes go to billing@larnnit.com.
  • Larnnit may withhold or claw back payouts for fraudulent, refunded, or charged-back transactions.
  • Sellers are bound by the Marketplace Seller Terms; tutors are bound by the Tutor Agreement.

6. Verified badges

Blue and silver verification badges are paid features confirming identity or affiliation. Verification can be revoked for misuse, false statements, or violation of these Terms. Fees paid for verification are non-refundable once a badge has been issued.

7. Intellectual property

Larnnit, the Larnnit logo, and the platform software are owned by us. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works of our platform except as permitted by law or by these Terms.

8. DMCA / copyright complaints

Send copyright complaints to dmca@larnnit.comincluding: identification of the work, the URL of the infringing material, your contact information, a good-faith statement that the use is unauthorised, and your signature. We respond to valid notices within a reasonable time and may suspend repeat infringers.

9. Termination

You may close your account at any time via Delete account. We may suspend or terminate your access for breach of these Terms, prolonged inactivity, or where required by law. Provisions that by their nature survive termination (payments, indemnity, limitation of liability) continue to apply.

10. Disclaimers

Larnnit is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or meet your specific needs. Content posted by other users is their responsibility, not ours, although we moderate in line with our published guidelines.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Larnnit's aggregate liability arising out of or relating to your use of the platform is limited to the greater of (a) the fees you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim and (b) USD 100. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Kenya, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of Nairobi, except where mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence provides otherwise.

13. Changes

We may revise these Terms. Material changes will be announced in-app and by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date is acceptance.

14. Electronic communications

You consent to receive communications from Larnnit electronically — by email, in-app notification, or push notification — and you agree that those electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that they be in writing.

15. Force majeure

Neither party is liable for failure to perform caused by events outside its reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, labour disputes, internet or power failures, third-party service outages, or epidemic. The affected party will notify the other and use reasonable efforts to resume performance.

16. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer this Agreement without our prior written consent. We may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or operation of law, on notice to you.

17. Severability and waiver

If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of that or any other provision.

18. Entire agreement

This Agreement (these Terms together with the policies referenced in §1) is the entire agreement between you and Larnnit about the platform and supersedes any prior understanding. If there is a conflict between this page and a referenced policy, the more specific document controls.

19. Apple App Store / Google Play additional terms

If you obtained the Larnnit mobile app through Apple's App Store or Google Play, you also agree to the additional terms required by those platforms — including that the relevant platform is a third-party beneficiary entitled to enforce these Terms against you in respect of your app use, and that the platform has no obligation whatsoever to provide maintenance or support for the app.
