Terms of Service
Last updated 27 August 2026 · Effective 27 August 2026
1. Agreement
These terms are a contract between you and Offshore VC LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company ("Offshore", "we", "us") covering the Speedrun browser extension and the speedrun.study website (together, the "Service"). By installing or using the Service you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service.
Business mailing address: Offshore VC LLC, 945 Lake Murray Blvd, Ste D PMB 206, Irmo, SC 29063.
1a. What Speedrun does
Speedrun works through the questions in your own online SmartBook coursework, and keeps a record of each assignment you run: its title, how many questions it covered, how many you got right, and the time it took. It uses that record to show you your completion history, your accuracy, and how your performance changes over the term, so you can see your own progress in one place. Speedrun also includes a referral system that lets you invite friends and earn credits. Your history and stats are tied to your account, stored on our servers, and visible only to you.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service, and at least 18 to purchase. If you are between 13 and 18, you may only use the Service with the consent of a parent or guardian.
3. No affiliation, and your responsibility
Speedrun is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to any educational publisher, courseware provider, school, university, or other institution. All product names and trademarks are the property of their respective owners, and any reference to a third-party platform is for compatibility purposes only.
You are solely responsible for how you use the Service. That includes complying with your institution's academic-integrity policies and with the terms of service of any platform you use it on. We make no representation that use of the Service is permitted by your course, your instructor, your institution, or any third-party platform.
You accept all academic, disciplinary, and other consequences of your use. We give no guarantee as to grades, scores, accuracy, or outcomes of any kind. If you are unsure whether you are allowed to use a tool like this, ask your instructor before you do.
4. Your account
You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for everything that happens under your account. Tell us promptly if you think someone else has access. One person, one account.
5. Credits
Paid features run on credits. Credits are a limited, personal, non-transferable licence to use the Service. They are not money, they are not a deposit, they carry no cash value, and they cannot be transferred, sold, gifted, or redeemed for cash.
Free credits (from signup, referrals, or promotions) may be adjusted, expired, or withdrawn if we reasonably believe they were obtained by abuse, such as creating multiple accounts to farm referral rewards.
Credits are consumed as the Service works. A credit is spent whether or not you are satisfied with the result.
Credits expire 18 months after the purchase that granted them, or on account closure if that comes first. We will email you before purchased credits expire. Expiry is what keeps a credit a licence to use the Service rather than an open-ended obligation, and it lets us price credits as low as we do.
6. Subscriptions, billing, and cancellation
Payments are processed by Stripe. By subscribing you authorise recurring charges to your payment method until you cancel.
- Pro bills every month. Semester Pass bills once every four months. Prices are shown in the extension before you buy.
- Subscriptions renew automatically. You can cancel at any time from the billing portal in the extension, or by emailing us.
- Cancelling stops future charges. It does not refund the current period, and you keep credits already granted for it.
- We may change prices with at least 30 days' notice before the change affects you.
7. Refunds
Credit packs and subscription periods are generally non-refundable once credits have been granted, because the licence has been delivered. That said, we would rather have a fair outcome than a technically correct one: if the Service failed you, or you were charged by mistake, email offshore.vc@gmail.com within 14 days and we will look at it in good faith.
If a purchase is fully refunded, the credits from it are removed from your balance.
Nothing here limits any refund right you have under mandatory consumer law where you live.
8. Acceptable use
Do not: resell or redistribute the Service or the answers it provides; share your account; create multiple accounts to obtain free credits; attempt to reverse-engineer, bypass, or overload our systems; use the Service to harass anyone or break any law; or misrepresent your relationship with us.
We may suspend or terminate an account that breaches these terms, and we may withhold credits obtained through abuse.
9. Availability, interruptions, and discontinuation
The Service is provided as-is and may change. Third-party platforms we work with can change at any time and may break compatibility without warning. We do not promise uninterrupted availability, and we may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service.
Interruptions. Outages, maintenance, faulty updates, and periods where the Service is unavailable because a browser store, courseware provider, or other third party has restricted, delayed, or removed it are normal parts of a service like this one. They do not entitle you to a refund of credits already granted, and they do not extend or pause a subscription period. Credits you have not spent remain in your account and stay usable when service resumes.
Permanent discontinuation. If we permanently discontinue the Service, we will stop charging subscriptions straight away and will not bill another period. We will give you at least 30 days' notice by email where we reasonably can, so you have the chance to spend the credits you hold. Credits remaining after that carry no cash value and are not refunded, except where a refund is required by mandatory consumer law where you live.
10. Disclaimer of warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, that answers will be correct, or that results will meet your expectations.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, nor for any loss of data, grades, academic standing, scholarship, enrolment, reputation, money, or opportunity, arising from or related to your use of or inability to use the Service.
Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability to you is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the three months before the claim, or (b) twenty US dollars.
12. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, loss, or demand, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your use of the Service or your breach of these terms, including any claim brought by your institution or by a third-party platform.
13. Termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these terms, or if we discontinue the Service. Unused credits are not refunded on termination for breach.
14. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in South Carolina.
Talk to us first. Before either of us files anything, the complaining party will email the other a short written description of the problem and the outcome they want, and will give 30 days to resolve it informally. Nearly everything can be sorted this way, and we will genuinely try. This step does not stop either of us seeking urgent injunctive relief, and it does not stop you bringing an individual claim in small-claims court.
15. General
Assignment. You may not transfer your account or these terms to anyone else. We may assign these terms to a successor entity (including when the operating business is moved into a newly formed company), and your rights are unaffected by that.
Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it is limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest of these terms stay in force.
No waiver. If we do not enforce a provision, that is not a waiver of it.
Entire agreement. These terms and the privacy policy are the whole agreement between us about the Service, and they replace anything said or written previously.
Events outside our control. We are not liable for failure or delay caused by something beyond our reasonable control, including outages at a third-party platform or provider we depend on, or a change made by such a platform that breaks compatibility.
Third-party services. The Service depends on providers listed in our privacy policy. Their own terms govern their services, and we are not responsible for their acts or omissions.
Notices. We give notice by email to the address on your account, or in the extension. You give notice to offshore.vc@gmail.com.
Survival. Sections 3, 5, 7 and 10 to 14 survive termination.
16. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If a change materially reduces your rights, we will give notice in the extension before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the updated terms.
