Terms of Use

1General

The Lingomios website, apps and related services (together, the "Service") are provided by Lingomios. By accessing or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, you should not use the Service.

How your personal data is processed is explained separately in the Privacy Policy, and our use of cookies in the Cookie Policy.

2Description of the Service

Lingomios is a language learning service offering structured lessons, a personal AI teacher, written and spoken conversation practice, review and progress tracking. The first learning languages are German and English; the interface is available in Turkish, English and German.

We are constantly improving the Service. We may add, change, temporarily suspend or remove features. Some features may be rolled out gradually or to a limited group of users.

3Account and eligibility

You need an account to use some parts of the Service. You must provide accurate information when registering, keep your sign-in details confidential and understand that you are responsible for activity in your account. Tell us immediately if you think your account has been used without permission.

The AI teacher and voice practice features are only for users aged 18 and over. You will be asked to explicitly confirm your eligibility before using them.

4Acceptable use

Our goal is a positive, useful and safe learning environment for everyone. When using the Service, you agree not to:

• Use the Service for unlawful, harmful, harassing or hateful purposes, or in ways that infringe the rights of others.
• Try to bypass the AI teacher's safety rules, generate harmful content or misuse it for purposes other than language learning.
• Try to exceed or disable usage quotas, access limits or security measures.
• Scrape, copy, reverse engineer or redistribute the Service or its content without permission.
• Use someone else's account or open an account on someone else's behalf.
• Upload malware to the Service or disrupt its infrastructure.

5About the AI teacher

The AI teacher's answers are generated automatically. Although answers pass safety and format checks, they may sometimes be wrong, incomplete or out of context. The teacher's suggestions are for language learning only and do not replace legal, medical, financial or other professional advice.

We recommend not entering sensitive personal information in your conversations. For fair use and cost control, daily or per-session limits may apply to AI and voice practice. In voice practice we only ask for microphone permission when you start it, and a written alternative is always available.

6Your content

The answers you give in lessons, the conversation text you write or speak and your support messages (together, "Your Content") belong to you. So that we can provide the Service, you grant us the right to process, store and pass Your Content to the relevant service providers solely for operating, personalising and securing the Service and for the purposes described in the Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for making sure Your Content complies with the law and these Terms.

7Intellectual property

The Lingomios name, logo, orange fox mascot, lesson content, design and software belong to Lingomios or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property law. These Terms give you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive right to use the Service for personal, non-commercial learning; they do not transfer any other rights.

8Fees

The Service is currently offered free of charge. If paid plans or subscriptions are introduced in the future, prices and renewal, cancellation and refund conditions will be communicated separately and clearly before purchase; you will never be moved to a paid plan without your consent.

9Suspension and termination

You can stop using the Service at any time and request account deletion from your Profile page.

We may temporarily suspend or close your account if you breach these Terms, endanger the Service or other users, or if required by law. Where possible, we will tell you in advance and explain why.

10Disclaimer

We provide the Service with care; however, it is provided "as is" and "as available". We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that you will reach a particular language level, exam result or certificate.

11Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, Lingomios is not liable for indirect damages, loss of profit or loss of data arising from use of or inability to use the Service. This limitation does not affect damages caused by intent or gross negligence, or rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by contract.

12Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes in the Service or the law. The current version is always published on this page with its last updated date. We announce important changes in the Service or by email before they take effect. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms; if you do not accept them, you can delete your account.

13Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. As a consumer, you may bring disputes before the Consumer Arbitration Committee or Consumer Court where you live. If you live in the European Union, the mandatory consumer protection rules of your country and your right to bring proceedings before its competent courts remain unaffected.

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid, the remaining provisions stay in effect.
