Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of these Terms

By downloading, installing, accessing, or otherwise using the App, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you are using the App on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you are authorised to bind that organisation, and “you” refers to that organisation.

This is the complete agreement between you and Ansuz LTD regarding the App and supersedes any prior agreement on the same subject. If you do not agree to any part of these Terms, you must not use the App and should remove it from your devices.

Your use of the App is also subject to Apple’s applicable terms, including the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and the Licensed Application End User License Agreement. Where Apple’s terms conflict with these Terms in respect of your purchase or download through the App Store, Apple’s terms govern that conflict.

2. Eligibility & age

SpeakLegends is intended for a general audience. To use the App, you must be at least 13 years old, or older if the minimum age of digital consent in your country is higher (for example, 16 in parts of the European Union). The App is not directed to, and may not be used by, children under that age.

• If you are under the age of majority where you live (typically 18) but at or above the minimum age above, you may use the App only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use of the App.
• By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet these age requirements and that all registration information you provide is accurate and current.
• If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child below the applicable minimum age, we will delete it — see the Privacy Policy.

You may use the App only where doing so is permitted by law. You are responsible for compliance with any local laws that apply to your use of the App.

3. Account registration & security

Some features of the App require you to create an account. SpeakLegends uses Sign in with Apple and Google Sign-In, so you authenticate through Apple or Google rather than by creating a separate SpeakLegends password.

Your responsibilities

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information when you register, and keep it up to date.
• Keep the Apple ID or Google account you use to sign in, and the device on which the App is installed, secure. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
• Do not share your account, and do not let anyone else use the App under your account.
• Notify us promptly at [email protected] if you suspect any unauthorised use of, or security breach affecting, your account.

One person may hold one account. We may refuse, suspend, or remove an account, or reclaim a username, if we reasonably believe these Terms have been breached, the account is being used unlawfully, or the information provided is false. You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Account → Delete Account in the App.

4. The lifetime unlock purchase

SpeakLegends is a freemium app: you can download and start learning for free, with certain content and features limited. Version 1.0 of the App offers exactly one paid option, and only one.

4.1 A single product — the lifetime unlock

The sole in-app purchase available in Version 1.0 is a one-time, non-consumable “lifetime unlock”. Buying it once permanently removes the free-tier limits and unlocks the full SpeakLegends experience for the account that made the purchase. There is no subscription, no recurring charge, and no auto-renewal — you are billed a single time.

4.2 Billing through the App Store

All purchases are processed by Apple through your App Store account using Apple’s In-App Purchase system. The price shown in the App at the time of purchase is the price you pay, in your local currency, and may include applicable taxes. Apple, not Ansuz LTD, is the merchant of record for the transaction. We never receive, see, or store your payment card or payment method details.

Your purchase is complete when Apple confirms the transaction. The App validates that confirmation to grant access. If a purchase is charged but the unlock does not activate, see Section 4.4 (Restoring your purchase) and then contact us.

4.3 No refunds, except as required by law

Because the lifetime unlock delivers digital content immediately upon purchase, all sales are final and the purchase is non-refundable, except where a refund is required by applicable law (including mandatory consumer-protection or cancellation rights that cannot be waived). Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable statutory right you may have.

• Refund requests are handled by Apple, not by Ansuz LTD. If you believe you are entitled to a refund, request one from Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
• We have no ability to issue, process, or guarantee App Store refunds; the decision rests with Apple under its policies and the law.
• If you are a consumer in a jurisdiction with a statutory cancellation or “cooling-off” right, that right applies to the extent the law provides, notwithstanding the “final sale” statement above.

4.4 Restoring your purchase

The lifetime unlock is tied to the Apple ID used to buy it. If you reinstall the App, set up a new device, or sign in elsewhere with the same Apple ID, use “Restore Purchases” in the App to re-activate your unlock at no additional charge. You will not be asked to pay again for a purchase you have already made.

4.5 Changes to pricing and the free tier

We may change the price of the lifetime unlock, the boundaries of the free tier, or the features included in either, for the future. Any such change does not affect a lifetime unlock you have already bought: an unlock you have purchased remains valid for the account that bought it. We may also add, modify, or discontinue features of the App over time as described in Section 9.

5. Acceptable use

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on Apple-branded devices you own or control, solely for your own personal, non-commercial language learning, and in accordance with these Terms and the App Store rules. You agree that you will not, and will not attempt to, or permit anyone else to:

• Copy, modify, translate, adapt, or create derivative works of the App or its content, except as expressly permitted by these Terms or by mandatory law.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, or otherwise try to derive its source code, except to the limited extent such a restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
• Sell, rent, lease, sublicense, distribute, or otherwise commercially exploit the App, the Service, or access to them.
• Circumvent, disable, or interfere with security, billing, licensing, or access-control features — including any attempt to obtain the lifetime unlock or premium content without paying for it.
• Use bots, scrapers, automated scripts, or other automated means to access, harvest data from, or interact with the Service.
• Overload, disrupt, or impair our servers or networks, introduce malware, or probe or scan our systems for vulnerabilities without authorisation.
• Access the Service to build a competing product, or use it in any way that violates these Terms or applicable law.
• Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice in the App.

We may investigate and take appropriate action against anyone who, in our reasonable judgement, violates this Section, including suspending or terminating access under Section 11.

6. Intellectual property

The App and the Service — including all software, source code, lesson and course content, text, exercises, illustrations, the SpeakLegends mascot and characters, graphics, audio, animations, user interface, design, and look and feel — are owned by Ansuz LTD or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. All rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms are reserved.

SpeakLegends, the SpeakLegends logo, and the SpeakLegends mascot are trademarks of Ansuz LTD. You may not use them without our prior written permission. Other names and logos that appear in the App are the trademarks of their respective owners and are used for identification only.

The licence granted in Section 5 is a licence to use, not a transfer of ownership, and it ends when these Terms terminate. If you send us feedback, ideas, or suggestions about the App, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use them for any purpose without obligation or compensation to you.

7. User content & conduct

The App may let you create or submit content — for example, a display name, profile details, feedback, or messages you send to support (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content.

By submitting User Content, you grant Ansuz LTD a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, and display that content solely as needed to operate, secure, and improve the Service — for example, to show your display name on a leaderboard or your profile. This licence ends when you delete the User Content or your account, except for copies retained in routine backups or as required by law.

You represent and agree that your User Content will not:

• Infringe the intellectual-property, privacy, or other rights of any person.
• Be unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, threatening, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.
• Contain another person’s private information, malware, or unsolicited promotional material.
• Impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.

We are not obligated to monitor User Content, but we may review, refuse, or remove any User Content that we reasonably believe violates these Terms or the law, and we may restrict or terminate accounts accordingly. You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of submitting it.

8. Third-party services

The App relies on, and interoperates with, services provided by third parties. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, which we do not control and are not responsible for. Key third parties are:

• Apple — distributes the App through the App Store, processes In-App Purchases, provides Sign in with Apple, and operates Apple Push Notification service.
• Google — provides Google Sign-In if you choose that option to authenticate.
• Infrastructure provider — our backend runs on Cloudflare’s hosting and content-delivery infrastructure, which stores and serves App data on our instructions.

Links or references to third-party sites or resources are provided for convenience only and do not imply our endorsement. We are not liable for the availability, accuracy, content, or practices of any third-party service.

Apple-specific acknowledgement. These Terms are between you and Ansuz LTD only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no warranty obligation with respect to the App, and any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility, not Apple’s. Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

9. Disclaimers of warranty

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App and the Service are provided “as is” and “as available”, with all faults and without warranty of any kind. Ansuz LTD and its licensors and suppliers expressly disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that:

• The App will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that defects will be corrected.
• The Service, including any servers or content delivery, will always be available, or that data will never be lost.
• The App will meet your requirements, or that any particular learning outcome or result will be achieved — language progress depends on your own effort and many factors outside our control.
• Any educational content is free of errors or suitable for any specific purpose, including examinations or certifications.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or of implied terms in consumer contracts, so some or all of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In that case, any warranty implied by law is limited to the shortest period and narrowest scope permitted by that law, and nothing in these Terms affects your non-waivable statutory consumer rights.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Ansuz LTD and its directors, officers, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the App or the Service — whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the total aggregate liability of Ansuz LTD for all claims arising out of or relating to the App, the Service, or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid to us, through Apple, for the App in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) ten US dollars (US$10).

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law — including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that may not lawfully be limited. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the smallest extent permitted by law.

You acknowledge that the disclaimers and limitations in Sections 9 and 10 are an essential basis of the bargain between you and Ansuz LTD and reflect a reasonable allocation of risk for a freemium app offered at the price stated in the App.

11. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Ansuz LTD and its directors, officers, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers from and against any claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your use or misuse of the App or the Service.
• Your violation of these Terms or of any applicable law or regulation.
• Your violation of the rights of any third party, including intellectual-property or privacy rights.
• Your User Content.

We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defence of that claim. This Section does not apply to the extent a claim arises from our own breach of these Terms or our wilful misconduct, and it does not require you to indemnify us for amounts that cannot be the subject of an indemnity under the law that applies to you as a consumer.

12. Termination

These Terms remain in effect while you use the App. You may end this agreement at any time by deleting your account from Settings → Account → Delete Account and removing the App from your devices.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App or the Service, in whole or in part, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, used the Service unlawfully or in a way that harms us or other users, or if we are required to do so by law. Where it is reasonable and lawful to do so, we will give you notice.

On termination: the licence granted to you in Section 5 ends immediately, and you must stop using the App. Termination does not, by itself, entitle you to a refund of the lifetime unlock; refunds remain governed by Section 4.3 and Apple’s policies. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 6, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 15 — will continue to apply.

13. Governing law & disputes

These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter, are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING JURISDICTION — e.g. England and Wales], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The courts of [GOVERNING JURISDICTION] will have jurisdiction to resolve any dispute, except where mandatory law gives you the right to bring proceedings in, or requires the application of the law of, your country of residence.

Consumers. If you use the App as a consumer, nothing in this Section deprives you of the protection of the mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the law of the country where you live, and you may be entitled to bring a claim in the courts of that country. Consumers in the European Union may also use the European Commission’s online dispute-resolution platform.

Before starting formal proceedings, we encourage you to contact us at [email protected] so we can try to resolve the matter informally. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to the App, our practices, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the “Effective date” at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you within the App or by another reasonable means before the changes take effect.

Your continued use of the App after updated Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the App and may delete your account. We recommend reviewing this page periodically. Each version of the Terms applies to your use during the period it is in effect.

15. General terms

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable Apple terms, are the entire agreement between you and Ansuz LTD regarding the App and supersede all prior understandings.
• Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will stay in full force and effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision.
• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms, for example in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets; your rights as a consumer are not reduced by such an assignment.
• Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including outages of third-party infrastructure.
• Notices. We may provide notices to you within the App or by email. You may send notices to us at the contact details below.
• Language. These Terms are written in English. Any translation is provided for convenience; the English version controls in the event of a conflict.
