Ignis — Terms & Privacy

Effective: April 2026

By using Ignis, you agree to these terms. Please read them — they're written to be straightforward, not to confuse you.

1. About Ignis

Ignis Study ("Ignis", "we", "us") is a revision resource sharing platform for students and teachers in the United Kingdom. We are currently operating as an unregistered trading name based in England. These Terms govern your use of the Ignis website and all associated services.

2. Who Can Use Ignis

You may use Ignis if you are:

A student aged 13 or over
A teacher or educator at a UK institution
An adult learner (registered as a Learner account)

If you are under 13, you may not create an account. If you are between 13 and 18, you confirm that you have permission from a parent or guardian to use this platform.

3. Your Account

Registration

You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You are responsible for keeping your password secure and for all activity under your account.

Teacher Verification

Teachers are verified through one of three methods: institutional email domain (e.g. .sch.uk, .ac.uk), school administrator confirmation, or manual review. Submitting false information to obtain teacher status is a breach of these Terms and may result in account termination.

Account Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, upload inappropriate content, or engage in abuse of the platform or its users.

4. Content You Upload

Ownership

You retain ownership of the revision materials you upload. By uploading, you grant Ignis a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, display, and make your content available to other users on the platform.

What You Must Not Upload

Content you do not have the right to share (e.g. copyrighted exam papers without permission)
Offensive, discriminatory, or harmful material
Misleading or deliberately incorrect revision content
Personal data of other people without their consent
Anything illegal under English law

Moderation

All uploads are subject to review. We may remove content that violates these rules without notice. Users can report content they believe is inappropriate.

5. Pro Subscriptions & Payments

Ignis offers free and Pro plans. Payments are processed securely by Stripe — we do not store your card details. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled before the renewal date. Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis; contact us at ignis.revision@gmail.com within 14 days of a charge if you believe there has been an error.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

Attempt to access other users' accounts or data
Scrape, copy, or redistribute Ignis content or user uploads at scale
Use Ignis to spam, harass, or harm other users
Attempt to reverse-engineer or interfere with the platform
Create multiple accounts to circumvent download limits or bans

7. Availability & Liability

Ignis is provided "as is". We aim for high availability but cannot guarantee uninterrupted access. We are not liable for any loss of data, missed revision sessions, or exam outcomes resulting from use of or inability to access Ignis.

The revision materials on Ignis are user-generated. We do not verify their accuracy and accept no responsibility for errors in uploaded content.

8. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes by email or via an in-app notice. Continued use of Ignis after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

9. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

8. Cookies & Local Storage

Ignis does not use tracking cookies. We use browser localStorage to store your session token and theme preference. These are essential for the platform to work and are not used for tracking or advertising.

Ignis is available to users aged 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has registered, please contact us and we will delete their account promptly.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the platform grows. We will notify you of significant changes via email or an in-app banner. The date at the top of this page always reflects the most recent update.
