Who provides the app
Paathshaala is provided by Tempestronics, which is based in India. Tempestronics is the trader for the app on Google Play. Questions about these terms go to developer@tempestronics.com.
By using the app you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it.
Who it is for
Paathshaala is made for adult volunteer teachers, and for the students they teach. Only adults create accounts. Students aged 13 to 17 use the app on their teacher's phone, to read and to take quizzes, and never sign in. The app is not directed at children under 13.
A volunteer who records students is doing so for their centre, and the centre is responsible for having the consent that recording needs. How that information is handled is set out in the privacy policy.
Free means free
The app costs nothing to download or use. There is nothing to buy inside it, no subscription, no advertising and no paid version, and there is no plan to add any. Because nothing is paid, no refund or billing terms apply.
Using the app
Please use Paathshaala to teach and to learn. In particular, do not:
- Record anything about a student beyond what the app asks for, or record anyone without the consent your centre needs
- Use someone else's account, or try to see another centre's records
- Try to break, overload or get around the app's security, or the service behind it
- Use the report button, or anything else in the app, to send abuse or harmful material
- Use the app for anything unlawful
If an account is used in one of these ways, we may suspend or remove it.
The learning content
Lessons, activities and quizzes come in packs, which are updated separately from the app. Facts in a pack are cited to the textbook they come from, with a page reference, so a teacher can find the spot. The wording is written by the pack's authors, not copied from the textbook. Images and other media made by someone else are used only under open licences (public domain, CC0 or CC BY) and are credited on screen.
For education, not for exams. We work hard to get the content right, but we cannot promise it is complete, free of mistakes, or matched to any particular syllabus or examination. Check anything important against the textbook and your teacher. If you spot a mistake, please tell us with the report button.
Who owns what
The Paathshaala app, its name and its logo belong to Tempestronics.
Each pack names its authors and the licence it is published under. The first packs are published under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0), which lets anyone reuse them as long as they give credit. Media made by others stays with its owners, under the licence credited beside it.
Your teaching notes and records are yours. We hold them only to back them up for you.
If you believe something in the app uses your work without permission, use the report button and choose copyright, or write to the address below.
Your account
Keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what is done with your account.
You can delete your account at any time: in the app, open Teach, tap You, and choose Delete everything. This removes your account and your records from the phone and from the server. Your centre's student roll stays with the centre. The privacy policy explains exactly what goes and what stays.
If the service is unavailable
The app is built to keep working offline, so a class can be taught with no signal. The backup service behind sign-in may sometimes be unavailable, and we do not promise any particular level of uptime or a response time for questions. We may change, pause or stop parts of the app or the service, and will try to give notice where we can.
Our responsibility
The app is provided as it is, free of charge. To the extent the law allows, Tempestronics is not responsible for indirect loss, or for loss caused by mistakes in the content, by the service being unavailable, or by misuse of an account.
Nothing in these terms limits responsibility that the law does not allow to be limited, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. If you live in the European Union, the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you keep every right your local consumer law gives you, and these terms do not take them away.
Which law applies
These terms are governed by the law of India. If you are a consumer living elsewhere, you also keep the protection of the laws of the country you live in, and you can bring a claim in your local courts.
Changes to these terms
If these terms change, this page changes first, and the date at the top moves. A change that affects what you can do will be shown in the app before it takes effect. These terms took effect on 12 November 2026.
