FreeLingo

1. About FreeLingo

FreeLingo is an open-source AI-powered language learning platform available in two modes: (1) self-hosted, where you run it on your own infrastructure at no cost, and (2) as a hosted service operated by the FreeLingo team, available via paid subscription. By using this service in either mode, you agree to these Terms of Service.

2. Acceptable Use

You may use FreeLingo solely for personal language learning purposes. You agree not to:

• —Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the system.
• —Upload malicious content or attempt to disrupt the service.
• —Share your account credentials with third parties.
• —Use automated scripts or bots to abuse the AI tutoring features.

3. User Accounts

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account and use FreeLingo. By registering, you confirm that you meet this age requirement. If we become aware that an account belongs to a person under 16, we will delete it and all associated data without notice. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. The operator of the instance — yourself for self-hosted deployments, or the FreeLingo team for the hosted service — may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

4. Content & AI Interactions

Conversations with the AI tutor are stored in the database for learning continuity. In the hosted service, AI chat and voice features are processed via OpenAI's API and your content is subject to OpenAI's usage policies. The AI may produce inaccurate responses — always apply your own judgement. FreeLingo is not responsible for content generated by underlying language models.

5. Service Modalities

Self-hosted deployments are free and the operator retains full control over their data and infrastructure. The hosted service operated by the FreeLingo team is provided via paid subscription, available on a monthly or yearly basis. In the hosted service your data is stored on servers operated by the FreeLingo team. The hosted service applies usage limits to AI tutoring features; your current usage is available in account settings.

6. Subscription & Billing

Subscriptions are available on a monthly or yearly billing cycle and renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date. New subscribers receive a free trial period (payment details required to start; no charge is made until the trial ends). You may cancel at any time from your account settings, effective at the end of the current billing period. If you cancel within 14 days of your first subscription payment and have not meaningfully used the service, you may request a full refund under EU consumer law. No partial refunds are issued for unused time beyond this statutory right. Current subscription prices are displayed at checkout.

7. Availability

This service is provided without uptime guarantees. The operator may suspend or discontinue the service for maintenance, updates, or any other reason, with reasonable notice where possible.

8. Limitation of Liability

FreeLingo and its contributors are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this service. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, total liability shall not exceed the amount paid by you in the three months preceding the claim.

9. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of Spain. Any disputes arising from these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Spain, unless mandatory consumer protection law in your country of residence provides otherwise.

10. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be updated at any time. We will notify users of material changes via the service interface. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
