Terms of Service

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. By creating an account, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. If you are between 13 and 18 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction), you may use the Service only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

We do not knowingly accept users under 13. If you are a parent and believe your child has created an account, contact privacy@practiceapp.io and we will delete it.

2. Your account

You agree to provide accurate information at signup, keep your credentials confidential, and be responsible for activity under your account. You may not create multiple accounts or share your account with others.

You may delete your account at any time via Settings → Account → Delete Account.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service in violation of any law.
• Upload content that is illegal, infringing, defamatory, abusive, or otherwise objectionable.
• Harass other users or use the Service to harm minors.
• Reverse-engineer the Service or circumvent its security features.
• Use bots, scrapers, or automated tools to access the Service.
• Resell, redistribute, or sublicense access to the Service.
• Inflate sales, ratings, or earnings of your own published content (for example, by purchasing your own content through alternate accounts or coordinating with other users).
• Promote third-party services, payment links, contact methods, or off-platform transactions inside your published content.
• Upload content that is sexually explicit, violently graphic, hate speech, defamatory, threatening, or otherwise unlawful in any jurisdiction where it may be accessed.
• Upload content without obtaining all necessary rights, including consent from any identifiable individuals featured in images or audio.

4. Your content

You retain ownership of the content you create or upload, including flashcards, decks, voice recordings, and images ("Your Content"). To operate the Service, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, transmit, display, and process Your Content for the purpose of providing the Service to you and to other users who purchase your content through the creator marketplace.

You represent that Your Content does not infringe any third-party rights. We do not use Your Content for advertising or AI model training, and we do not sell it to third parties.

We may remove Your Content if it violates these Terms or applicable law.

You bear sole responsibility for all content you create, upload, or publish. You warrant that you have every right necessary to publish it and that it complies with all applicable laws, including copyright, trademark, privacy, defamation, hate-speech, obscenity, and age-rating laws of every jurisdiction in which the content may be accessed.

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from any third-party claims, damages, liabilities, fines, settlements, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from Your Content, your conduct on the Service, or your breach of these Terms.

We act as a neutral hosting platform. We do not pre-screen, curate, or endorse user content; we make no representations as to its accuracy, legality, or suitability for any purpose; and you access user content at your own discretion and risk.

Important: storage and risk of data loss. The Content you create in the app (folders, flashcards, audio recordings, images, and other material) is stored locally on your device. The Service does not currently offer cloud backup or cross-device sync for unpublished local Content — if your device is lost, damaged, factory-reset, replaced, or if you uninstall the app or clear its storage, that Content may be permanently lost and we will not be able to recover it. The only Content that is stored on our cloud servers is Content you have explicitly published. Published Content survives device loss and can be re-downloaded on a new device when you sign back into your account. We strongly recommend publishing any Content you cannot afford to lose.

Cloud Content is hosted on third-party infrastructure we contract with (databases, media storage, content-delivery networks, and similar providers). While we maintain reasonable safeguards and backups, we cannot guarantee against data loss caused by third-party service interruption, outage, corruption, account suspension on the provider's side, force majeure, or other failures outside our reasonable control. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for the loss of either local Content or cloud Content, however caused, and we do not assume responsibility for the acts or omissions of third-party service providers.

5. Purchases, coins, and subscriptions

In-app purchases of coins and voice subscriptions are processed by Apple App Store (iOS), Google Play (Android), or Whop (web). Their respective terms govern the transaction.

Coins are a virtual currency usable only within the Service. Coins have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for real money, and expire 12 months after the last activity on your account. Opening the app, signing in, or making a purchase resets the 12-month inactivity counter and your coin balance is preserved. Real-currency equivalents are shown next to coin amounts at spending decision points.

Auto-renewing subscriptions (required disclosure). Voice subscriptions are auto-renewing. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription automatically renews for the same period at the same price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the cost of the renewing subscription. You can manage and turn off auto-renewal in your Apple ID or Google Play account settings after purchase. No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during the active subscription period.

EU/EEA consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal under the EU Consumer Rights Directive, except where you have already used the digital content. Refund requests are handled by the merchant of record (Apple, Google, or Whop) per their respective policies.

We may change prices for coin packs and other one-time purchases at any time; the price displayed at checkout is the price you pay, and previously purchased coins keep their original value. For active subscriptions, price changes take effect at your next renewal after at least 30 days' notice via email or the app store's notification system. If you do not accept the new price, you may cancel your subscription via the relevant app store before the renewal date.

Full details of our refund handling — including the EU/EEA/UK 14-day right of withdrawal and its digital-content exception, refund routing through Apple, Google, and Whop, and how to request a refund — are set out in our Refund & Return Policy, which is incorporated into and forms part of these Terms by reference.

No personalized pricing. We do not personalize prices based on user data — all users see the same prices for the same products. Promotional prices, regional currency conversion, and platform-specific pricing tiers (Apple, Google, Whop) apply uniformly to all eligible users.

6. Creator marketplace

If you opt into the creator program, you may publish flashcard sets for purchase by other users. Creators earn 50% of the gross coin value of each purchase. The remaining 50% is retained by the platform.

Payouts are processed monthly through Whop, subject to a $100 minimum threshold. By becoming a creator you also agree to Whop’s Terms of Service. Whop performs identity verification (KYC), holds funds on your behalf until payout, issues tax forms where required by law, and charges its own processing fees, deducted from your payout.

Payout timing depends on settlement to us from the upstream payment processors (Apple, Google, Whop, and others). If settlement to the Platform is delayed by a processor — for example because of verification holds, regulatory review, technical issues, document requests, frozen balances pending review, or extended settlement cycles — your payout will be deferred to the next monthly cycle in which we have actually received the corresponding funds. By becoming a creator you acknowledge that this is a known characteristic of multi-party marketplace flows, that a sale recorded in one month may settle to the Platform one or more months later, and that the Platform is not liable for upstream delays.

We may remove your published content if it infringes third-party rights, violates law, or breaches these Terms.

You warrant that you own all rights to the content you publish, including text, images, audio, and translations, and that publication does not infringe any third-party intellectual property right or contractual obligation. We act on credible infringement notices and may suspend creators who repeatedly publish infringing content.

Creators are independent contractors, not our employees, partners, or agents. You are responsible for reporting your own income to the tax authorities of your country of residence. We retain payout records for at least 10 years to comply with applicable tax law.

We may adjust the creator revenue-share percentage from time to time. We will notify active creators by email or in-app at least 30 days before the change takes effect. Earnings accrued before the effective date keep the original percentage; continued participation in the creator program after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the new percentage.

7. Copyright and IP claims

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright or other intellectual property right, contact privacy@practiceapp.io with: (a) your contact information; (b) a description of the work you claim is being infringed; (c) the location of the allegedly infringing content; (d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized; and (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

We review notices in good faith and remove or restrict access to allegedly infringing content where appropriate. Repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated.

Reporting other illegal content (EU Digital Services Act, Article 16). To report content on the Service that you believe is illegal — for example, hate speech, threats, doxxing, non-consensual intimate imagery, fraud, or any other unlawful material — send a notice to support@practiceapp.io containing: (a) a sufficiently substantiated explanation of why the content is illegal; (b) a clear indication of the exact electronic location of the content (URL, in-app deep link, or set ID); (c) your name and an email address, unless the content relates to an offence under Articles 3 to 7 of Directive 2011/93/EU (in which case anonymous notices are permitted); and (d) a statement confirming your good-faith belief that the information is accurate and complete. We will acknowledge receipt without undue delay, review notices diligently and objectively, and inform the notifier of our decision and any redress available. We will provide a written statement of reasons to the affected user whenever we restrict, remove, or demote their content as a result of such a notice, as required by Article 17.

8. Third-party services

The Service integrates with third-party payment processors (mobile app stores and our web checkout provider) and other infrastructure providers (cloud database, media storage, monitoring, AI voice generation, and over-the-air updates). Your use of these services is governed by their respective terms. We are not responsible for third-party services.

9. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages.

Our total liability for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) USD 100.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including consumer-protection law in your country of residence.

Fair design commitment. We do not use deceptive design patterns: no false urgency or scarcity countdowns, no hidden costs at checkout, no forced opt-ins, no confirm-shaming on cancellation flows, and no obstructive paths for deleting your account or unsubscribing. We are committed to healthy use: the Service has no infinite-scroll feed, no engagement-streak shaming, no manipulative notifications, and is designed for short, deliberate learning sessions. If you encounter anything that you believe is a deceptive pattern, email support@practiceapp.io and we will investigate.

10. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your account immediately and without prior notice for a material breach of these Terms or of applicable law — including, without limitation, posting illegal content, fraud, hate speech, child-exploitative material, non-consensual intimate imagery, repeated infringement of third-party rights, or any conduct that poses immediate harm to other users, the Service, or third parties. For non-material, curable breaches, we will give you notice and a reasonable cure period before terminating. If we discontinue the Service entirely, we will provide at least 30 days notice.

Statement of reasons (EU Digital Services Act, Article 17). Whenever we remove, demote, restrict the visibility of, demonetize, or otherwise restrict your Content, or suspend or terminate your account, we will provide you with a written statement of reasons identifying: (a) the action taken and its territorial and temporal scope; (b) the facts and circumstances relied on; (c) the specific Terms provision or legal ground on which the action is based; (d) the role, if any, of automated detection in the decision; and (e) the redress options available to you, including the internal complaint-handling channel at support@practiceapp.io and any out-of-court dispute settlement bodies that apply to you. Where the underlying matter is the subject of an active criminal investigation, certain details may be withheld for as long as required by law-enforcement authorities.

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time via Settings → Account → Delete Account.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced in-app or by email at least 30 days before they take effect for active users.

We may require you to re-accept the updated Terms in-app before you can continue using the Service. If you do not accept the updated Terms, you may delete your account, and active subscribers may cancel their subscription via the relevant app store before the effective date. Continued use of the Service after the effective date — or active re-acceptance via the in-app prompt — constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

If you do not delete your account or cancel your subscription before the effective date, the updated Terms govern your continued use of the Service from that date forward. The next time you open the app, you will be shown the updated Terms via an in-app prompt and asked to confirm your acceptance before continuing.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ukraine, the jurisdiction in which the operator is currently registered. For EU/EEA consumers, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence.

Before initiating any formal dispute, please email support@practiceapp.io so we can attempt to resolve the matter informally within 30 days.
