Nibit Parental and Guardian Consent

Effective date: 12 October 2026

Provider: Nibit AI, a sole proprietorship (eenmanszaak) registered in the Netherlands, with its business address at Staten Bolwerk 54, 2011 MN Haarlem, Netherlands. A sole proprietorship has no separate legal personality, so the party you contract with is the individual who owns the business and trades as Nibit AI. The Terms of Service say the same at their head.

1. Who this is for

You are reading this because someone too young to buy their own subscription holds a Nibit account in the European Union, the United States, or Canada, and a paid subscription is being set up for it. That means someone aged 13 to 17 in the European Union or the United States, or aged 14 to 18 in Canada, where the paying age is 19. Nibit asks a parent or legal guardian to be the person who buys that subscription, and this document is what you agree to when you do.

This document does not arise in India. The minimum age to hold a Nibit account there is 18, so an Indian account holder is always old enough to buy their own subscription and no guardian purchase is needed. Terms of Service section 2 explains why the Indian minimum is higher.

It sits alongside the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy rather than replacing them. Where this document and the Terms say different things about a subscription bought by a parent or guardian, this document governs.

If the account holder is 18 or over, or 19 or over for an account signed up from Canada, none of this applies to them. They buy their own subscription under the Terms.

2. Why we ask an adult to buy

A Nibit account is free and open to anyone aged 13 or over in the European Union and the United States, 14 or over in Canada, and 18 or over in India. Paying for one is a different matter, because a subscription is a contract, and the law in each market we serve limits the contracts a minor can enter into.

• The Netherlands and the EU. The age of majority is 18. A minor needs their legal representative's authorisation to enter a contract, and without it the contract can be annulled.
• The United States. The age of majority is 18 in most states and higher in a few. A contract with a minor is voidable, which means the minor can walk away from it and reclaim what was paid.
• Canada. The age of majority is 18 or 19, depending on the province or territory. Outside Quebec, a contract with a minor generally cannot be enforced against them. In Quebec, a contract a minor makes alone can be annulled, or their obligations reduced, if it works against their interests. Signup asks for the country but not the province, so for a Canadian account we ask the purchaser to be 19 or over, the higher of the two ages.
• India. A contract with a minor is void from the outset under the Indian Contract Act, not merely voidable. There is nothing to enforce, in either direction.

Asking you to be the purchaser answers all four at once. You are the customer, the contract is with you, and the account holder simply gets the paid features.

3. What you confirm when you subscribe

At the point of purchase you confirm each of the following. You confirm the first two in the app before continuing to payment, and the third on the payment page; we record those three and when you gave them. You confirm the last two by completing the purchase.

1. You are 18 years of age or over, or 19 or over for an account signed up from Canada.
2. You are the account holder's parent or legal guardian.
3. You agree to the Terms of Service in your own name, as the person contracting for this subscription.
4. You consent to the account holder continuing to use Nibit, and you have read the Privacy Policy.
5. You are the person paying, using a payment method you are entitled to use.

You become the account's payer and the party we contract with. The account holder stays the account holder: the notes, files, and content are theirs, and the Terms continue to govern how they use the Services.

4. What we verify, and what we do not

We should be plain about this. We do not verify your identity, your age, or your relationship to the account holder. A general-purpose study app is not required to do so in any of the markets we serve, and we do not.

What the process relies on is that completing a payment takes an adult's payment method. That is a meaningful check. The confirmations in section 3 are given in the app, on the account holder's device, so on their own they are only as good as the word of whoever gives them; the payment method is what backs them up.

It is not a guarantee. If a young person completes a purchase with an adult's payment method and without permission, section 6 is how that gets put right.

5. What you take on

• Payment. The subscription renews automatically until it is cancelled, and you are the person charged. Terms of Service section 8 covers renewal, price changes, failed payments, and cancellation.
• Supervision. You consent to the account holder's continued use of the Services. What they write, import, share, and generate is theirs to decide, within the Acceptable Use Policy.
• Telling us when things change. If you stop being the account holder's parent or guardian, or you no longer want responsibility for the subscription, cancel it or write to legal@nibit.ai.

6. Cancelling, withdrawing, and getting money back

These rights are yours rather than the account holder's, because the contract is yours.

• Cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid for. See Terms of Service section 8.
• Withdraw within 14 days. If you are a consumer in the EU or the EEA you have 14 days from the day the subscription starts to withdraw from it, without giving a reason. Terms of Service section 8.1 explains how and includes a model form.
• A purchase you did not authorise. If a subscription was bought on your payment method without your permission, write to legal@nibit.ai with "Unauthorised purchase" in the subject line. We will cancel it and refund the payments we received. We will not ask you to prove the relationship first, and there is no retention flow to sit through.

7. Withdrawing your consent

You can withdraw the consent in section 3 at any time by writing to legal@nibit.ai. Withdrawing it cancels the subscription. It does not delete the account or its contents, which belong to the account holder. If you want the account itself reviewed, corrected, or deleted, section 8 is the route.

8. Your rights over the account holder's information

As the parent or legal guardian of a user under 18, you can ask us to show you what we hold about them, correct it, or delete the account entirely. Write to privacy@nibit.ai from an address we can verify against the account. We will act on it, and we will not ask you for a court order first. Privacy Policy section 15 says the same and sets out how we treat users under 18 generally.

9. Information we collect about you

Becoming the payer means we hold some information about you, not only about the account holder:

• your name and billing address as given to our payment provider, and the country you are billing from;
• the email address you give us for receipts and billing notices;
• a record of the confirmations in section 3 that we collect: the version of the wording you saw, the version of this document in force, the date and time, and the IP address the in-app confirmation came from; and
• payment records, which tax law requires us to keep for seven years.

We do not receive or store your full card details. The Privacy Policy governs all of this, and the payment provider is named in the Subprocessors list.

10. India

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act treats everyone under 18 as a child and requires verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian. The confirmations in section 3 are consent, but the Act sets a higher standard of verifiability than a confirmation given at checkout.

Rather than rely on a consent that would not meet that standard, we do not offer accounts to anyone under 18 in India at all. The minimum age to hold a Nibit account there is 18, so this document does not arise for an Indian account: there is no Indian account holder who is a child under the Act, and therefore no guardian purchase to consent to.

This is an interim position, not a permanent one. It is chosen because the obstacle is not consent at the point of sale but consent for processing a child's personal data at all - and holding an account is itself that processing, so no purchase-time mechanism could cure it. If we later operate a consent mechanism meeting the Act's standard, we may lower the Indian account age and this section will change with it.

11. Changes

We may update this document. Where a change is material we will say so and give notice before it takes effect, and the version you agreed to stays reachable at its own dated URL. Privacy Policy section 16 explains how archived versions work.
