Terms of Service
Who you're agreeing with
There's no company here. One person builds and runs the app, and the finished terms will name him.
Until then this section is blank.
Who can use this
You have to be at least 13. Signup asks for a date of birth and refuses anything under that, today, in the live app.
What the real document adds is the treatment around it: consent from a parent, and what happens to an under-13 account found after the fact.
Your account
A handful of things get collected to make an account work.
Keeping your login to yourself, and what happens when somebody else gets into it, is still to be written. Where the data goes is a privacy question, and the privacy page carries the fuller list.
- Email address
- Username
- First and last name
- Date of birth
- Phone number, for the verification text
What the app does
Fifteen minutes a day, split across four tasks in a fixed order: story podcast, reading, texting and listening. The story task includes twenty vocabulary cards after its audio.
One language at a time. Castilian Spanish is live and Catalan is being built. There's a genuine line between what's promised and what's simply how the app works today, and this draft can't draw it for you.
Paying for it
Where available, subscriptions bought on this website use Stripe Managed Payments, with Link as merchant of record. Link handles indirect tax and transaction support. Purchases made in an app use Apple or Google billing. The available offer, price, billing period, and any trial renewal appear before you pay.
Manage or cancel a website subscription through Link and use Link support for a website refund request. Apple and Google purchases use that store's cancellation and refund process. This draft makes no refund promise. Renewal and cancellation terms are shown before payment.
What you put in
You write Spanish. You send messages in the chat. You talk out loud during the onboarding interview and during the reading and listening tasks, and those recordings get transcribed. The spoken onboarding interview and the level exam are one thing rather than two: a single live voice call, once per phone per language. Most of what comes back is stored, because tomorrow's lesson is built out of it. The privacy page says which recordings are kept, which are thrown away, and where each one goes.
The license you grant for that content, meaning what the app is allowed to do with your words and your voice, is a real legal question. This page doesn't answer it.
What the app makes for you
Episodes, reading passages, cards and chat threads are generated for your account rather than pulled off a shelf. What you're allowed to do with them, including whether you can keep or share what was made for you, is left open here.
Rules for using it
The plain version: don't attack the service, and don't use it to hurt other people.
The finished document turns that into language that means something, and adds what happens to an account that ignores it.
The lessons are machine-made
Every episode, card and passage comes out of a language model, so some of it will be wrong. If a real teacher corrects you, the teacher wins.
This draft makes no promise about your results, and the formal version of that disclaimer isn't written yet.
Stopping, and being stopped
You can walk away whenever you like. Deleting the account has its own page.
The other direction, where an account gets suspended or closed from this end, isn't covered here.
Changes to the app and to this document
Both will change. How you find out about a change, and what counts as you accepting it, is one of the blanks.
The change to expect first is this whole page being replaced.
The parts left out on purpose
There's no warranty disclaimer here. No liability cap, no governing law, no arbitration clause, no class-action waiver.
Those sections decide what actually happens when something goes wrong, and a plausible-looking fake version of them would read exactly like the real thing. The space stays visibly empty until the vendor's text lands.
Getting in touch
Support runs on email: support@yapzee.ai, or the help page, which fills the mail in for you. One person reads that mailbox, and it's the person who built the app. Replies arrive from a personal address rather than a yapzee.ai one, which is expected and not someone impersonating support.
Legal and business notices go to admin@yapzee.ai. Anything about your own data goes to privacy@yapzee.ai, and the privacy page says what that covers.
