1. Agreement
By creating an account on thebue.site ("TheBue", "the service") you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the service. TheBue is operated by Al Moetasem Afifi (BUE 281785) and Mariam Omar (BUE 278094) as an independent project and is not affiliated with The British University in Egypt.
2. Your account
You must give accurate details when registering, keep your password private, and are responsible for activity on your account. You must be a student or staff member of BUE, or otherwise permitted to use the service. One person, one account, one BUE ID — free trials are tracked per BUE ID (see Privacy Policy, "What happens when you delete your account") specifically to keep this fair.
3. Acceptable use
Don't misuse the service: no attempts to break, overload, or gain unauthorised access to it or other users' data; no uploading of unlawful or harmful content; no using it to cheat or to break your university's own rules.
4. Your content
Your timetable, tasks and notes are yours. You grant TheBue only the permission needed to store and show them back to you and to operate features you turn on.
5. AI assistant
The AI can be wrong. It's a study aid, not an authority. Always check important facts (deadlines, room changes, requirements) against the official source. Some AI features are offered as a paid subscription or free trial, described in the app. Each BUE ID gets one free trial — see the Privacy Policy for exactly what that means if you delete and recreate an account.
6. Connecting your BUE email
If you choose to connect your BUE email, you sign in directly with Microsoft, and TheBue is authorised to read only the calendar and mail data needed to power the features you enable — detecting assignments, cancelled classes, room changes and announcements. TheBue never sees or stores your Microsoft password. You can disconnect at any time in Settings, which stops all further access immediately.
7. Administrator access
TheBue's administrators can view basic account information (name, BUE ID, faculty, year, verification and premium status) to run the service, and can delete an account entirely, including at a student's own request. Administrators cannot read your AI chat conversations, support messages, or email content — see the Privacy Policy for exactly what administrators can and cannot see.
8. Availability
The service is provided "as is", with no guarantee of uptime or that any feature will keep working. Features may change or be removed.
9. Liability
To the extent allowed by law, Al Moetasem Afifi (BUE 281785) and Mariam Omar (BUE 278094) are not liable for any loss arising from use of TheBue, including missed deadlines or reliance on AI output. You use it at your own risk.
10. Ending your account
You can delete your account at any time in Settings, which permanently removes your data as described in the Privacy Policy. We may suspend or delete accounts that break these Terms.
