Terms of Use

Effective date: 17 October 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and Lingently ("we", "us") for the Lingently app for Android and the website lingently.com (together, "the service"). By using the service, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

Lingently is run by an individual developer, [legal name], based in [country].

1. The service

Lingently is an AI writing coach. It checks text you choose to send, explains mistakes, suggests corrected and improved versions, and turns your mistakes into practice and a word bank. Features can be used in the app, from the floating character, the text selection menu and the Share menu.

We may add, change or remove features over time.

2. Your account

• The app creates an anonymous account for you. You don't give us a name or email address.
• Your account lives on your phone. If you uninstall the app or clear its data, you get a new account. Your history, words and progress stay on your phone and are not restored.
• Pro is tied to your Google Play account, so you can restore it on a new install.
• You are responsible for activity on your device.

3. Plans, trial and subscriptions

Free

The Free plan has daily, weekly or monthly limits and shows an ad after a practice session. The current limits are shown in the app. We may change the Free plan's features and limits.

14-day Pro trial

• New devices get 14 days of Pro for free, once per device.
• No card or payment is needed, and you are not charged when the trial ends.
• When the trial ends, you move to the Free plan unless you subscribe.
• Reinstalling the app or deleting your account does not start a new trial.

Pro subscription

• Billing. Pro is sold through Google Play as a monthly or yearly subscription. Google Play charges your payment method and shows the price, including any taxes, before you buy. Prices may vary by country.
• Offers. We may offer a reduced price for the first period, such as the first year. The offer price and the regular price that follows are shown before you buy.
• Auto-renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, at the then-current price, until you cancel.
• Cancelling. Cancel any time in Google Play (Play Store › Payments & subscriptions › Subscriptions). You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for. Uninstalling the app or deleting your account does not cancel your subscription.
• Refunds. Refunds are handled by Google Play under its refund policies. You can request one through Google Play. This doesn't limit any rights you have under consumer law.
• Price changes. If the price changes, Google Play tells you in advance, as its rules require.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the service to break the law, or to create content that is illegal, harassing, hateful, or violates others' rights;
• send other people's personal data unless you have the right to;
• try to get around plan limits, the one-trial-per-device rule or payments;
• copy, modify, reverse engineer or redistribute the app, except where the law allows;
• access the service by automated means, overload it, or interfere with its security;
• use the service to build a competing product, or to resell it.

5. AI output

• Corrections, explanations and lessons are made by AI. They can be wrong, incomplete or unsuitable for your situation.
• Read the result before you use it. You decide what to send, and you are responsible for the text you send to others.
• Don't rely on Lingently for legal, medical, financial or other professional advice, or for translations where mistakes could cause harm.
• If a result looks wrong, tap Report. It helps us improve.

6. Your content

Your text stays yours. You give us permission to process it only to provide the service: to check it and return the result. Your text is sent securely to be checked, then deleted. If you send a report, you give us permission to use it to improve the service.

You may use the results you get for any lawful purpose.

7. Our property

The app, the website, the characters, the design and the lessons belong to us or our licensors and are protected by law. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the app on your own devices, under these terms. The name Lingently and its characters may not be used without our permission.

8. Third-party services

The service relies on Google Play (distribution and billing) and, for Free users, Google AdMob (ads). Their own terms apply to your use of them. We are not responsible for third-party services.

9. Disclaimers

The service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we make no promises that it will be error-free, uninterrupted, or fit for a particular purpose. Some features, such as the floating character, depend on your phone and Android version and may not work on every device.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows:

• we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, or for loss of data, profits or reputation, including from messages you send using AI output;
• our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for the service in the 12 months before the claim.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, such as for fraud, or your rights as a consumer.

11. Ending use

• You can stop using Lingently at any time, and delete your account in Settings › Privacy & data › Delete everything. See Delete your account.
• We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms or misuse the service. We may also stop offering the service. If we stop it, we will give reasonable notice where we can.
• Cancel any subscription in Google Play; ending use does not cancel it.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We will change the effective date above, and tell you in the app if the change is significant. If you keep using the service after a change, you accept the new terms.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [country]. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring claims in your local courts.
