Welcome to Shoracy. These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the Shoracy app, including browsing and accessing past question papers and proposed solutions ("Papers"), uploading Papers as a contributor, and taking practice Quizzes. By creating an account, you agree to these Terms.
01Eligibility & Accounts
Shoracy is intended for university students, 16+ . You're responsible for your login credentials and all activity on your account. Provide accurate information.
02Papers & Access
- Papers and proposed solutions are available to signed-in users inside the App.
- We don't guarantee the academic accuracy of any Paper or solution; content is for practice/reference only, not a substitute for official course material.
- Papers and solutions are provided for in-app viewing only. Downloading, saving, printing, or exporting is not permitted, and screenshot and screen-recording functionality is disabled while viewing this content.
- These technical protections are a deterrent, not a guarantee. Regardless of whether a technical block succeeds, capturing Paper content by any means — including photographing the screen with another device, third-party recording tools, or copying text — is strictly prohibited and may result in suspension and legal action where applicable.
03Uploading Papers (Contributor Terms)
- By uploading a Paper or solution, you confirm you have the right to share it and that it doesn't infringe anyone else's rights or your institution's policies.
- All content you upload becomes the exclusive property of Shoracy once accepted, including rights to reproduce, distribute, and edit it. You waive any claim to ongoing ownership.
- Shoracy may review, reject, or remove any uploaded content at its discretion, including for quality, accuracy, or rights concerns.
04Practice Quizzes & Points
- Quizzes and Points are a separate, gamified feature for practice and engagement. Points are for motivation only and cannot be transferred, converted, or exchanged.
- We may reset or adjust Points/leaderboards at any time, including for suspected cheating.
05Acceptable Use
You agree not to: cheat or manipulate quizzes, Points, or leaderboards; upload plagiarized, unlawful, or rights-infringing content; misuse the referral system; impersonate others; attempt to bypass, disable, or work around content-protection measures (see Section 2); capture, copy, or redistribute Paper content by any means; or interfere with the App's normal operation. Violations may result in suspension or termination.
06Intellectual Property
Aside from user-uploaded Papers covered in Section 3, the App's design, branding, and software are owned by Shoracy. You get a limited, non-transferable license to use the App for personal, non-commercial, educational purposes.
07Privacy
Our separate Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and how it's used. Using the App means you consent to that policy.
08Disclaimers & Liability
The App is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Shoracy is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, including academic outcomes or lost Points.
09Termination
You may delete your account anytime. We may suspend or terminate accounts for violations of these Terms, fraud, or extended inactivity.
10Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms and will notify you of material changes in-app before they take effect. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
11Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Cameroon. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction, unless otherwise required by law.
