Last Updated: June 1, 2023

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms", "Terms of Service") carefully before using the Language Gems website (the "Service") operated by Language Gems ("us", "we", or "our").

Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service.

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the terms, then you may not access the Service.

1. Accounts

When you create an account with us, you must provide information that is accurate, complete, and current at all times. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of the Terms, which may result in immediate termination of your account on our Service.

You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Service and for any activities or actions under your password, whether your password is with our Service or a third-party service.

You agree not to disclose your password to any third party. You must notify us immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account.

2. Intellectual Property

The Service and its original content, features, and functionality are and will remain the exclusive property of Language Gems and its licensors. The Service is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of both the United States and foreign countries. Our trademarks and trade dress may not be used in connection with any product or service without the prior written consent of Language Gems.

User-generated content that you create, upload, or otherwise submit to the Service remains your property, but you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, and distribute it in any media.

3. Educational Content

While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date language learning content, we make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any educational content provided through our Service.

The educational content available through the Service is intended for informational and learning purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for professional language instruction or translation services.

4. Free and Premium Services

Language Gems offers both free and premium (paid) services. By purchasing a premium subscription or any paid service, you agree to pay the applicable fees as they become due.

Fees for premium services are non-refundable except where required by law. We reserve the right to change our fee structure at any time, with any changes to recurring subscription fees taking effect in the next billing cycle.

You may cancel your subscription at any time, but no refunds will be issued for the current billing period.

5. School Accounts

For educational institutions using our Schools service, additional terms may apply. School administrators are responsible for obtaining proper consent from students (or their legal guardians for minors) before using the Service.

School accounts must comply with all applicable educational privacy laws, including FERPA (in the United States) or equivalent regulations in other jurisdictions.

6. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall Language Gems, nor its directors, employees, partners, agents, suppliers, or affiliates, be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (i) your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Service; (ii) any conduct or content of any third party on the Service; (iii) any content obtained from the Service; and (iv) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, whether or not we have been informed of the possibility of such damage.

7. Changes

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will try to provide at least 30 days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion.
