Terms of Use

Last updated: 2 November 2026

These terms are the agreement between you and medidote. By creating an account or using the app you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use medidote. How we handle your information is explained in the Privacy Policy.

1. What medidote is

medidote is a study app for medical students. You can write or import question decks, upload lecture slides, have an AI write exam-style questions from those slides, and review the questions with spaced repetition. It is run by Malak Elsadek, based in Egypt ("we", "us").

2. Who can use it

You must be 18 or older.
You need an account. Keep your sign-in details safe, do not share your account, and tell us if you think someone else has used it.
You are responsible for what happens under your account.

3. A study aid, not medical advice

medidote is for exam revision only. It is not medical advice and must never be used to diagnose, treat or make decisions about a real patient.

Questions written by the AI can be wrong. They may contain mistakes, mark the wrong answer, or oversimplify. Always check them against your slides, textbooks and course material. The "Report it" button on the study screen lets you tell us about a bad question. We do not promise that any question, answer or explanation is correct or will match your exam.

4. Your slides and content

You keep ownership of everything you upload or create: slides, decks, questions and notes ("your content").
Only upload material you have the right to use. If your university, lecturer or publisher limits how their slides can be copied or shared, you are responsible for following that.
Never upload information that could identify a patient, or anything else you are not allowed to share.
You give us permission to store your content and to process it to run the app for you, including sending the selected slide pages to our AI provider (Anthropic) when you ask for questions to be generated. We use it for nothing else.
Questions generated for you are yours to study with. We do not guarantee they are original or free of third-party material that was in your slides.

5. Acceptable use

Please do not:

break the law, or upload content that is unlawful or infringes someone else's rights;
try to break, overload, scrape or reverse-engineer the app or its AI feature, or get around the usage limits;
access anyone else's account or data;
use the app to write content that is harmful, or to cheat in an exam you are not allowed to prepare for this way.

We may limit or suspend an account that breaks these rules.

6. Free trial, plans and payment

Creating, importing and studying decks, attaching slides and the statistics are free, always.
Free trial. New accounts get 7 days of free AI question writing, up to 250 AI questions. The current trial length and allowance are shown in the app.
Paid plan. After the trial, writing questions with AI needs a paid plan, "medidote Plus": EGP 600 a month, with an allowance of 600 AI questions a month. The allowance resets each month and unused questions do not carry over.
Founding price. The first 30 people to pay get the founding price of EGP 400 a month. The price is set when you first pay and does not change while you stay subscribed. If your access ends and you pay again within 30 days, you keep it. After 30 days your founding spot is released and the price that applies on your next payment is the one shown in the app at that time.
How you pay. Until online payment is available, you arrange payment with us by email and we switch your plan on by hand. Online payment in Egyptian pounds will then go through a third-party payment provider; we do not see or store your card details. Each payment buys one month of access and does not renew by itself unless the app clearly says it will.
Cancelling. You can stop paying at any time and keep access until the end of the month you paid for. Cancelling does not delete your decks, slides or progress; you only lose AI question writing.
Refunds. If you are not happy, ask within 7 days of a payment and, if you have used no more than 50 AI questions in that period, we will refund it in full. Otherwise payments are not refundable, except where the law says they must be.
We may change plans, prices and limits for new subscribers at any time. We will give notice in the app before a change to the price or allowance of an existing paid plan applies to you.

7. The service can change

We work to keep medidote available, but we do not promise it will always be available, error-free or uninterrupted. We may add, change or remove features. The AI feature depends on outside services and can be slow or unavailable at times.

8. Ending your account

You can stop using medidote at any time. You can delete your account and all your data yourself in Settings, or email emmykades@gmail.com and we will do it. Deleting your account does not cancel what you have already paid for or entitle you to a refund. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, or that has been inactive for a long time. If an account is closed, your content may be deleted.

9. Our rights

The app, its design, name and code belong to us. These terms do not give you any rights to them other than using the app as intended.

10. Limits of our responsibility

medidote is provided "as is". To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not responsible for exam results, for losses caused by mistakes in AI-written or imported questions, for lost data, or for any indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these terms limits any right you have by law that cannot be limited. Our total responsibility to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or zero if you have not paid us.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example when paid plans start. The date at the top shows the latest version, and we will tell you in the app about any significant change. If you keep using medidote after a change, you accept the new terms.

12. Law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of Egypt, and the courts of Egypt can hear disputes about them. Questions or complaints: emmykades@gmail.com.
