Terms of Use

1. Parties and acceptance

This agreement is between the service provider identified below ("Lernomi", "we") and the person using the Lernomi web app (www.lernomi.app) or the Android and iOS apps ("you"). The same person provides the service, is responsible for your data, publishes the app in the app stores and receives the subscription revenue, and is established in Türkiye. By creating an account or using the app you accept these terms and the Privacy Policy. Under Turkish Law no. 6563 this text is accessible and can be stored before the contract is concluded. If you do not accept it, do not use the app.

2. The service

Lernomi is a language learning app offering vocabulary, listening, speaking and writing study: spaced repetition rounds, the Path's Speaking steps (explanation and a chat with AI), walk mode, writing assessment, exam preparation, a weekly leaderboard and friend features. The courses are German (Hochdeutsch) and English; the course list may change over time and not every feature is ready in every course at the same time. Features may be added, changed or removed; we announce changes affecting paid features in advance.

3. Account and age

• Lernomi is intended for adults: you must be 18 or older to create an account. We close accounts we learn belong to someone under 18 and delete their data.
• You can also use the mobile app without creating an account (as a guest); these terms and the minimum age of 18 apply to guest use too. Social features, Premium and AI feedback (apart from a single trial assessment) require an account; reminders are set up only on that device. Your guest progress is tied to the guest identity on that device: it may be lost if you delete the app or do not use it for 30 days. When you create an account with email, your guest identity becomes your account; with a social sign-in your progress moves into the account; if you sign in to an existing account, you are asked whether to add the progress. You can delete your guest data in the app under Profile › Delete guest data.
• Your account details must be accurate; never share your password. You are responsible for activity on your account; tell us if you notice unauthorized use.
• You can delete your account at any time: in the app under Profile › Settings › Account › Delete account, or on the web via the account deletion page. Deletion cannot be undone.

4. Acceptable use

You may not:

• use insults, hate speech, harassment, sexual content, impersonation, disclosure of personal data or advertising in your display name or in any text you share,
• manipulate the leaderboard, streaks or quests through automation, fake accounts or cheating,
• reverse engineer, scrape or overload the service, or block others' access to it,
• use the AI chat to produce unlawful or harmful content, or content targeting other people,
• breach applicable law, including intellectual property, personal data and sanctions rules.

There is zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. Reports are reviewed within 24 hours; content that breaks the rules is removed, and the account of the user responsible is restricted or closed. We tell you the decision and its reason, and you can appeal at support@lernomi.app. Serious breaches do not require prior warning.

5. Your content and reporting

The texts you write, the transcripts of what you say and your display name are yours. You grant us only the worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license needed to provide the service: to assess your work, generate feedback and show as much as you choose (display name, progress) to other users. We do not use your content for advertising or model training; the license ends when you delete your account.

If you see content that is unlawful or breaches these terms (another user's name or behavior), you can report it with the "Report" button in the app or at support@lernomi.app; this is also the single point of contact for notices under the EU Digital Services Act (DSA). Reports are reviewed by a human within 24 hours; the decision and the route of appeal are communicated to the reporter and to the content owner, so you learn the outcome of your report. The friend features include block and report buttons. The "Report" button is also available on learning content across the app (words, exercises, exam questions, audio): if you see an error in the content (a wrong answer, spelling, translation, audio or a technical problem), you can report it there; these reports are also reviewed by a human and you are told the outcome when they are closed.

5a. Social features

• A username is 3-20 characters of letters, digits and underscores; you may not use someone else's name, a trademark or a misleading identity. Inappropriate names may be changed.
• Your social profile is public by default; you manage visibility, friend requests and activity sharing under Settings › Privacy.
• Blocking is mutual, and the other person is not notified. Reports are reviewed by a human; false or malicious reports are themselves a breach of the rules.
• There is no private messaging; reactions, nudges and shared quests are limited to your friends.

6. AI content

• Chat replies and assessments are produced by language models; the app states clearly where you are interacting with an AI. Answers can be wrong, incomplete or inconsistent; grammar corrections must not be treated as definitive.
• Features that use AI or server-side speech recognition need your text or short audio recordings to be sent to the providers named in the Privacy Policy. This happens only after you allow it in the app; if you decline, or withdraw permission under Settings › Privacy, these features run without AI in a limited form or stay off.
• You can report an offensive or incorrect answer without leaving the app, using "Report" under that answer.
• AI characters are not real people; they do not give medical, legal or financial advice.

7. Premium subscription, payment and withdrawal

• Purchase: Premium is bought through the payment system of the store you downloaded the app from: Google Play Billing on Android, Apple in-app purchase on iOS. Payment is processed by the store and the store's own terms of service also apply. Price, currency, term, trial conditions and taxes are shown by the store at the moment of purchase; this information constitutes the pre-contractual information required by Turkish Law no. 6502 and the Distance Contracts Regulation.
• Renewal and cancellation: Unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the term, the subscription renews for the same period. You cancel in the store you bought it from: Play Store › Payments and subscriptions, or Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions on iOS. Deleting your account does not cancel the subscription. If you cancel before a free trial ends, you are not charged.
• Withdrawal and refunds: Premium is sold by the store you downloaded the app from, and it becomes available as soon as you buy it. You confirm the purchase on the store's own payment screen; the app does not ask for a separate withdrawal consent. You exercise your right of withdrawal and request refunds through that store, under its terms: through Play support on Google Play, and at reportaproblem.apple.com on the App Store. We honor refunds the store grants; if the store does not resolve an issue, you can write to us. Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected.
• Price changes: The subscription price can change over time. The rule is this: the price you paid holds for the period you paid for — an increase never applies retroactively and only takes effect from the next renewal. Before an increase you are notified through the store (e-mail and store notification) at least 30 days in advance, with the new amount and the date it takes effect. Depending on the size of the increase and the store's rules, one of two paths applies: for small, infrequent increases the subscription renews at the new price unless you cancel; for anything beyond that your explicit consent is required, and without it the subscription simply ends instead of renewing. In both cases, if you cancel before the effective date you are not charged the new price. Amount differences caused by a change of currency, region or tax rate (for example VAT) are applied by the store and are not subject to the notice period in this clause.
• Promotional prices and gifted time: A free trial, a discounted introductory price, a promo code and a referral reward are valid only for the stated period; when it ends the standard price applies, and this is shown at the time of purchase. Time gained from a gift or a code is not a monetary claim: it cannot be cashed out or transferred, and it does not mean future prices are fixed.
• Proof of purchase: The sale is made by the store, which issues the receipt and sends it to the email address on your store account; you can request a copy from the store's support. The service provider is not a company but a natural person, and because the earnings fall within the Turkish income tax exemption for mobile application development, no separate invoice is issued.

7a. Fair use

To protect AI and speech recognition provider quotas for everyone, daily per-account limits apply: 300 AI conversation messages, 400 server speech recognition requests and 120 pronunciation scoring requests. Content reports have no daily limit. When you reach a limit the app says so and it reopens the next day. The limits sit far above honest heavy use; they exist only to stop automation and abuse and may be updated when needed.

On a free account, some AI-powered features have limited allowances: the Speaking and Writing steps in Path, speaking and writing assessments in Skills, and mock exams are open in a set number per level; walk mode is used with the screen on and for a set number of rounds a day. New allowances unlock as you finish what is open and keep your streak going. The numbers and how they unlock are written on the Premium page in the app. A step or exercise you have started stays open even when your allowance runs out.

With Premium these allowances are open without waiting; Premium also has daily upper limits to prevent abuse (walk mode rounds, AI assessments and conversation messages). Because these are tuned together with the product, no fixed number is written here; the values in force are shown on the Premium page in the app and can be seen before you buy. If a limit is lowered, the change is announced on that same page. Premium is never advertised as “unlimited.”

7b. Third-party services

Sign-in with Google (Google Account terms), Sign in with Apple (Apple Account terms), the store you downloaded the app from (Google Play Terms of Service, Apple Media Services Terms and the relevant refund policies) and your device's or browser's speech recognition service are subject to their own providers' terms. The AI and speech recognition providers are listed in the Privacy Policy; they are our sub-processors and do not enter into a contract with you directly.

8. Intellectual property

The app, its design, the mascot, the sound effects and the learning content belong to Lernomi and are protected by Turkish Law no. 5846 on Intellectual and Artistic Works and by international conventions. The word lists were compiled by Lernomi. Any exam names mentioned in the app are trademarks of their respective owners and Lernomi is not affiliated with them. Copying, distributing or making derivative works is not permitted beyond personal learning use.

9. Continuity of the service

We provide the service "as is". Maintenance, provider outages or quotas can temporarily disable some features (e.g. server speech recognition, AI conversation); the app shows this and falls back to the on-device alternative where possible. If a paid feature stays unavailable for a long period, we give a proportionate refund or extend the term.

10. Limitation of liability

Lernomi is a learning tool; it gives no guarantee about an exam result, a level of language proficiency or the correctness of a decision. Except for intent and gross negligence, we are not liable for indirect damage arising from the service; our total liability is limited to the subscription fees you paid in the last 12 months. Your rights as a consumer under Turkish law and under the mandatory provisions of your country of residence are unaffected; this clause does not narrow them.

10a. Indemnity

If third parties bring claims against Lernomi because you breached these terms or applicable law (e.g. content infringing someone else's rights, an attack on the service, cheating), you are responsible for those claims and damages to the extent of your fault. For consumers this clause applies only in cases of intent and gross negligence.

11. Termination

You can delete your account whenever you like. We may close an account with reasonable notice if these terms are breached or if the service ends; should the service end entirely, we give at least 30 days' notice, offer a way to download your data and refund the unused part of any subscription.

12. Governing law and dispute resolution

This agreement is governed by the law of the Republic of Türkiye. In a dispute we first seek an amicable solution via support@lernomi.app. Consumers in Türkiye may apply, within the applicable monetary thresholds, to the Consumer Arbitration Committees and the consumer courts; for other disputes the courts and enforcement offices of Adana have jurisdiction. This choice of law does not deprive consumers habitually resident in the EU, the EEA or the United Kingdom of the protection of the provisions of their country that cannot be derogated from by agreement (Art. 6(2) Rome I Regulation); their right to bring proceedings before the courts of their own country is also unaffected; for users in other countries local mandatory provisions are reserved.

12a. Force majeure

Obligations are suspended for the duration of events beyond the parties' control, such as natural disaster, war, epidemic, large-scale internet or infrastructure outage, provider insolvency and administrative decisions; if an interruption exceeds 30 days either party may terminate the agreement and the unused subscription period is refunded.

12b. General provisions

• Entire agreement: These terms, the Privacy Policy and the pre-contractual information on the purchase screen form the whole of the agreement between the parties.
• Severability: If a provision is held invalid, the others are unaffected; the invalid provision is deemed replaced by the valid provision closest to its purpose.
• Assignment: You may not assign your account or your rights under this agreement. We may assign the agreement in the event of a transfer of the service or if the activity is moved into a company structure, preserving your rights and notifying you.
• Waiver: Not exercising a right does not mean waiving it.
• Language: The binding language of the agreement is Turkish; translations are for information. In case of a difference in interpretation, the Turkish text prevails.
• Notices: Notices to us go to support@lernomi.app; notices to you go to the email address on your account or as an in-app message, and are deemed served upon arrival.
• Retention: This agreement is stored electronically. The version of the terms you accepted and the date of acceptance are recorded on your account; you may request the text of that version and its date.

13a. Additional terms for the Apple App Store

If you downloaded the app from the App Store, the following also applies. These are the minimum terms Apple requires from developers who do not use Apple's own EULA; they apply to the Apple version only and prevail in case of conflict.

• Parties: This agreement is concluded between you and us only, not with Apple. We alone are responsible for the app and its content.
• Scope of the license: We grant you a non-transferable license to use the app on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, within the Usage Rules of the App Store Terms of Service.
• Maintenance and support: We alone are responsible for maintenance and support; Apple has no such obligation.
• Warranty: We alone are responsible for any warranty. If the app fails to conform to an applicable warranty you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price; beyond that Apple has no warranty obligation.
• Claims: Claims relating to the app — including product liability, legal compliance, consumer protection and privacy — are addressed to us, not to Apple.
• Intellectual property: If a third party claims the app infringes their intellectual property rights, investigation, defense and settlement are ours alone.
• Legal compliance: By using the app you represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US embargo or designated by the US as "terrorist supporting," and that you are not on any US list of prohibited parties.
• Contact: For questions, complaints and claims, the contact details in section 1 apply.
• Third-party terms: You agree to comply with applicable third-party terms when using the app.
• Third-party beneficiary: Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement and have the right to enforce it against you.

13. Changes and contact

When we update these terms, the effective date and version change; we announce material changes to your detriment at least 30 days in advance in the app and by email, and you may close your account if you do not accept them. Questions: support@lernomi.app.
