Alcove supplemental terms

Last updated: October 14, 2026

These terms add to the Sanctum Terms of Service (https://sanctum.company/terms) when you use Alcove. Words defined there mean the same here.

1. Permission to transcribe a class

Alcove turns a class into a transcript. Before you transcribe a class, you need permission from the people the law and your school require — usually your instructor — and you must give any notice your school or the law requires to classmates.

Alcove asks you to confirm, for each class, that you have permission to transcribe it. That confirmation is your own statement to us. Alcove doesn’t check it. Don’t transcribe a class until it’s true, and stop if permission is withdrawn. Your confirmation for a class also covers that class’s posted lecture videos.

Alcove keeps everything said in class, so your transcripts contain your instructor’s and classmates’ words, and those of anyone else who speaks. Getting any consent the law or your school requires is your responsibility, not Alcove’s. Use transcripts only for your own study, and don’t use them to identify, embarrass or target anyone.

2. Your school’s rules

You are responsible for following your school’s academic-integrity, honor-code and AI-use rules, and each instructor’s rules for each class. When you add a class, Alcove asks you to confirm that AI tools are allowed in it. Alcove doesn’t read, interpret or judge those rules for you, and nothing Alcove does means a use is allowed.

3. Course materials you bring

You may bring in only materials you have the right to access and use for your own study: syllabi, slides, readings, handouts, files you forward, and course pages you open. Alcove’s browser extension reads course pages you open while signed in as yourself, on sites where you allow it. It never signs in for you and never posts to a course site. You remain bound by each course site’s terms and your school’s policies.

Don’t share or publish what Alcove makes from someone else’s materials.

4. School mail

If you connect your school mail, Alcove puts drafts in your Drafts folder when you ask. You read and send every message yourself.

5. Study aids, not answers

Alcove’s briefs, guides, outlines, practice questions, feedback and readiness views are study aids. They may be wrong or incomplete. Check them against your course materials and your instructor. Alcove never predicts a grade.

Alcove is not legal advice, even in a law course. It does not create a lawyer–client relationship, and nothing it produces is a legal opinion about any real situation. The same goes for medicine, accounting and any other professional subject.

The work you submit is yours, and you are responsible for it.
