Please read this part even if you skip the rest. Resurface is a revision tool, not a clinical reference and not medical advice. Questions and explanations, especially those written by AI, can be wrong or out of date. Never use Resurface to make a decision about a real patient, and check anything important against your course material and current clinical guidance.
Agreeing to these terms
By creating an account or using Resurface you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales deal with any dispute.
What Resurface is
A revision platform for UK medical students. It turns study material you provide, such as Anki decks, lecture slides, PDFs and notes, into exam-style questions, schedules them for review, and tracks your progress. You can also share decks with other students, and use decks that Resurface features for everyone.
It is a study aid. It does not replace your curriculum, lectures, textbooks or clinical teachers, and it is not affiliated with any medical school, examining body or the GMC.
Accuracy
Questions made with Generate and answers from Resurface AI are written by an AI model and are not checked by us before you see them. They can be wrong while sounding confident. Decks shared by other students, and decks Resurface features, are written by students and may contain mistakes too. Medicine also changes, so something correct when written may not be now.
We do not promise that any content is accurate, complete or current. If you spot a mistake, use Report on the question so it can be fixed.
Your account
- Use a real email address and keep your sign-in to yourself.
- One account per person. You are responsible for what happens on yours.
- Tell us at hello@tryresurface.com if you think someone else has access to it.
- You can delete your account at any time in Profile.
Names and photos
Your display name and profile photo are seen by other students on the leaderboard and on decks you share. Keep them appropriate: nothing offensive, explicit, or pretending to be someone else. We may remove a name or photo that breaks this, and repeated misuse can lead to your account being suspended.
Using Resurface fairly
Please do not:
- Upload or share material you do not have the right to use, such as textbooks or paid question banks you are not allowed to copy.
- Upload or type anything that identifies a real patient, or anything else confidential.
- Copy Resurface’s featured decks out in bulk, by hand or by script, or republish them elsewhere.
- Share or sell access to your account.
- Attack the service, test it for weaknesses without asking us first, or try to reach other people’s data.
- Use Resurface to cheat in an exam or assessment.
If you break these terms we may remove content or suspend your account. Where it is reasonable, we will warn you first.
Your content, and sharing it
Material you upload stays yours. You let us process it only to make questions for you; we do not add it to anyone else’s account or to the decks we feature. The questions generated for you are yours to use for your own study.
When you share a deck, you allow anyone with the link to view it and add a copy to their own account, and their copy stays theirs even if you later delete yours. If you agree to us featuring a deck you made, you allow us to show it to every Resurface user, with your name on it, for as long as it is featured. You can ask us to stop featuring it at any time.
What belongs to Resurface
The software, the name, the logo, the design, and the decks Resurface publishes belong to Resurface or the people who made them. Your account gives you a personal right to use them for your own study, and nothing more.
Fair use limits
Generating questions and using Resurface AI rely on an outside AI service with its own daily limits, so each account has daily limits too. We may change these limits to keep the service running for everyone.
Availability
Resurface is provided as it is, without any guarantee. We do not promise it will always be available, free of bugs, or that data can never be lost, so do not let Resurface be the only place you keep something important.
We may change, pause or stop any part of the service. If we close Resurface altogether, we will give reasonable notice and a way to export your questions first.
Cost
Resurface is currently free. If that changes, we will tell you clearly in advance, and you will never be charged without agreeing to it first.
Liability
As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for exam results, academic outcomes, lost study time, lost data, or any indirect loss arising from your use of Resurface.
Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot legally be limited. Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If a change materially affects you, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect.
