Terms of Use

✅ 1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using VocaBinder (the "App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

📖 2. Description of Service

VocaBinder is a personal vocabulary-building application that lets you create language pairs, add words, practice with flashcards and quizzes, translate words using third-party services such as Google Translate and Apple Translation, and get vocabulary suggestions, statistics analysis, and practice chat from an AI Assistant. The Assistant can run entirely on your device (the default), or — only if you explicitly opt in — on Google's Gemini API using your own Google API key; see the Privacy Policy for what the Gemini option sends off your device.

📝 3. User Content

All dictionary entries, notes, and language pairs you create are stored locally on your device. You are solely responsible for the content you enter. The App does not upload your data to any server.

💳 4. In-App Purchases

The App offers optional consumable tip purchases to support development. All purchases are processed through Apple's App Store and are subject to Apple's terms. Tips are non-refundable except as required by applicable law.

🌐 5. Third-Party Services

The App uses third-party services for translation and, if you opt in, for AI Assistant processing: web-based translation services such as Google Translate and various online dictionaries, and Google's Gemini API, which you access directly using your own Google API key. For the Gemini option, you are responsible for obtaining and safeguarding your own API key and for any usage limits or costs Google associates with it; the App does not operate or control any backend in that path. These services are subject to their own terms of use and privacy policies. The App does not guarantee the availability or accuracy of third-party translations or of AI Assistant responses from the Gemini cloud option.

🎨 6. Intellectual Property

The App and its original content, features, and functionality are owned by the developer. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer any part of the App.

⚠️ 7. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. The developer does not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

⚖️ 8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the developer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the App.

🔄 9. Changes to Terms

The developer reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
