Terms of Service

Last updated: 4 June 2026

1. About KovaVerse

KovaVerse is an educational platform for South African children aged 6–18, operated by KovaVerse (Pty) Ltd (“KovaVerse”, “we”, “us”). By creating an account or using our platform, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use KovaVerse.

Questions: hello@kovaverse.co.za

2. Accounts and eligibility

  • Accounts must be created by a parent or legal guardian aged 18 or older.
  • Children do not create their own accounts. All child profiles are managed by the parent account.
  • You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity on your account.
  • One parent account may have multiple child profiles.

3. Free and paid features

Free tier

Every account gets access to free missions in Neo Jozi City with no time limit. No credit card is required to use the free tier.

Subscriptions

  • A paid subscription unlocks all cities, missions, and features for one child profile.
  • Subscriptions are billed monthly or annually as selected at checkout.
  • Payment is processed by PayFast. KovaVerse does not store card or banking details.
  • Prices are displayed in South African Rand (ZAR) and are inclusive of VAT where applicable.
  • You may cancel your subscription at any time. Access continues until the end of the current billing period. No partial refunds are issued for unused days.

Refunds and cooling-off

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on your first subscription payment, in addition to your statutory 7-day cooling-off right. Full details — including how to cancel and how refunds are processed — are in our Refund & Cancellation Policy.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use KovaVerse for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any South African law.
  • Attempt to access another user's account or data.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or copy any part of the platform.
  • Upload or transmit malicious code, viruses, or harmful content.
  • Misuse the sync code system (e.g., applying another child's assessment results).
  • Sell, resell, or sublicense access to the platform.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules, without notice.

5. Content and intellectual property

  • All learning content, missions, city maps, characters, graphics, and code are owned by KovaVerse (Pty) Ltd or our licensors. All rights reserved.
  • You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without written permission.
  • Your child's learning data (mission responses, XP, progress) belongs to you. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle it.

6. AI features

KovaVerse uses AI (Claude by Anthropic) to evaluate handwritten answers. The AI evaluates responses and immediately discards the image — no handwriting is stored. AI evaluations are designed to be supportive and educational. They do not constitute professional academic assessment.

AI-generated feedback may occasionally be imperfect. If you believe a mission result is incorrect, contact us and we will review it manually.

7. Platform availability

We aim to keep KovaVerse available at all times but cannot guarantee uninterrupted access. We may perform maintenance, release updates, or temporarily suspend the service without prior notice. We are not liable for losses caused by downtime.

The platform requires an internet connection for syncing and unlocking new content. Core missions may be available offline on the mobile app once downloaded.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by South African law, KovaVerse is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the platform. Our total liability to you in any month will not exceed the subscription fees you paid in that month.

KovaVerse is an educational supplement, not a replacement for formal schooling. We make no guarantees about academic outcomes.

9. Changes to the service or terms

We may update these terms or the platform at any time. We will notify you by email of any material changes to these terms. Continued use of KovaVerse after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

We may also add, change, or remove features of the platform at any time. If we discontinue a paid feature, we will offer a pro-rated refund or equivalent replacement.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of South Africa. If you have a consumer dispute, you may also approach the National Consumer Commission or the relevant ombud.
