Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of IELTS Studio (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Who we are

IELTS Studio is an independent online preparation platform. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, authorised by or partnered with the IELTS partners (the British Council, IDP IELTS, or Cambridge University Press & Assessment), or any other examination body. “IELTS” is a registered trademark of the IELTS partners and is used here only to describe the examination for which the Service provides preparation.

2. Accounts

• You must provide accurate registration information and keep your password secure.
• You are responsible for activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any suspected unauthorised use.
• Accounts are for individual use. Sharing accounts or reselling access is not permitted.
• You must be at least 16 years old, or have the consent of a parent or guardian, to use the Service.

3. Free and Premium access

• The free plan includes a defined number of practice tasks in each skill and one full mock exam.
• Premium is offered as a subscription billed every 2 weeks (US$6.99), monthly (US$9.99) or every 3 months (US$19.99), and renews automatically at the end of each billing period until cancelled. Subscribers who joined at an earlier price keep that price for as long as their subscription remains active.
• Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your card details.
• You can cancel any time through the billing portal. Access continues until the end of the period you have already paid for.
• We may change pricing for future periods with reasonable notice; it will never apply retroactively.

4. Practice estimates — not official results

Listening and Reading conversions use published band anchors; Writing and Speaking bands are AI-estimated practice bands. All estimates are clearly labelled. They are provided for study guidance only and are not official IELTS scores, and they do not guarantee any result in a real examination.

5. Acceptable use

• Do not attempt to copy, scrape, resell, or redistribute practice content or assessment output.
• Do not upload unlawful content, attempt to breach security, or disrupt other users’ access.
• Do not use the Service to submit content that is not your own work for assessment.
• We may suspend accounts that abuse the Service, attempt to circumvent free-tier limits, or attack the platform.

6. Your content

You retain ownership of the essays and recordings you submit. You grant us the licence necessary to store, process and assess that content so we can operate the Service, including sending the minimum required content to our AI assessment providers. See the Privacy Policy for details.

7. Intellectual property

All practice content, explanations, diagrams, software and branding in the Service are owned by IELTS Studio or its licensors and are protected by copyright. You may use them only for personal study through the Service.

8. Availability and changes

We work to keep the Service available and accurate, but it is provided “as is” without warranties. We may modify, suspend or discontinue features, and we may update these terms; material changes will be notified in the Service or by email.

9. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for decisions made in reliance on practice estimates.
