The service

Burn the Pile provides grading suggestions generated by artificial intelligence. These suggestions may contain errors: the teacher remains solely responsible for the grades given and must review the results before using them.

Pages and payments

Packs are one-time purchases in Canadian dollars. A graded page counts as 1 page in quick mode and for language checks, and as 2 pages in in-depth mode; the answer key is not charged and a failed grading is not counted. Purchased pages do not expire while the service is offered. Unused pages are refundable on request within 30 days of purchase.

Access key

Your key gives access to your balance: keep it confidential. We may deactivate a key in case of abuse.

Acceptable use

The service is for grading schoolwork. Attempting to circumvent or overload it, or using it for unlawful content, is prohibited.

Liability

To the extent permitted by law, our liability is limited to the amount paid in the previous 12 months.
