6. Description of Service

6.1. Vokabulo is a vocabulary learning application that provides the following core features:

• Vocabulary Management: Capture, organize, and study words with translations across multiple language pairs;
• AI Translate Service: AI-powered automatic translation and context generation for vocabulary entries;
• Quiz and Study Sessions: Flashcard-based learning with a Spaced Repetition System (SRS);
• Scenes: AI-generated vocabulary sets tailored to real-life situations and your proficiency level;
• Streak Tracking: Daily study streak monitoring with milestone checkpoints, configurable study days, and pause functionality;
• Sets: Curated vocabulary collections provided by Vokabulo, available to download and study within the App;
• Text-to-Speech: High-quality pronunciation powered by third-party AI voice services;
• Gamification: Points, badges, and an optional global leaderboard;
• Push Notifications: Optional study reminders (iPhone and iPad app).

6.2. The App is available for iPhone and iPad (requires iOS 26 or iPadOS 26) and as the Web App in current versions of common web browsers on computers, tablets and phones. On Android, Vokabulo runs as the Web App in the browser and can be added to the home screen; there is no app in the Google Play Store. The same Account works in both, and your words and progress sync between them. Some features are available only in the iPhone and iPad app, including the Home Screen widget, the Lock Screen countdown, study reminders, Siri and Shortcuts, adding words while offline, and the Pro Family plan. A macOS version may be made available in the future.

6.3. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, subject to applicable law.

7. AI Features: Disclosure and Limitations

7.1. AI Technology Providers: The App uses third-party artificial intelligence (AI) language models to power the AI Translate Service and Scenes features. We work with multiple AI providers and may change, add, or replace AI providers at any time without notice to you. The specific AI provider(s) used at any given time are an implementation detail and do not affect the nature of these Terms.

7.2. AI-Generated Content: Content generated by the AI Translate Service and Scenes (including vocabulary translations, contextual example sentences, and situational word lists) is AI-generated content produced by third-party large language models.

7.3. No Guarantee of Accuracy: AI-generated content is provided for educational purposes only and may contain inaccuracies, errors, or inappropriate suggestions. You acknowledge that:

• AI-generated translations, context sentences, and vocabulary suggestions are not guaranteed to be accurate, complete, or appropriate;
• AI handles the vast majority of cases well, but can occasionally err with slang, ambiguity, rare meanings, or nuanced expressions;
• You should treat AI-generated content as a capable assistant, not an unquestionable authority;
• You are responsible for reviewing and verifying AI-generated content before relying on it;
• We do not guarantee the suitability of AI-generated content for any particular purpose.

7.4. EU AI Act Compliance (Article 50): In accordance with the EU AI Act, we disclose that certain content within the App is generated using generative AI systems. AI-generated text content is clearly identified as such within the App interface. We employ appropriate technical measures to ensure transparency regarding AI-generated outputs.

7.5. Voice Input: Scenes, the word field and hands-free study accept voice input through your microphone. In the iPhone and iPad app, Apple's speech recognition converts it into text, on your device or on Apple's servers, depending on your device, the feature and your connection (hands-free study uses Apple's servers whenever you are online). In the Web App, your browser's speech recognition does this, and most browsers send the audio to their maker's online service for that purpose, for example Chrome to Google. We receive only the text and never store your voice. See Section 12 for details on microphone permissions.

8. User Content

8.1. Ownership: You retain ownership of any vocabulary words, translations, and other personal content you create within the App. This content is stored for your personal use only and is not shared with other users.

8.2. Vokabulo Sets: All Sets available within the App are curated and owned by Tathros GmbH. You may download and use Sets for personal language learning purposes within the App. You may not copy, redistribute, or use Set content outside of the App.

9. Subscriptions and Payments

9.1. The App can be used free of charge and without a time limit. A free account gives access to the App's functions, with certain features subject to usage limits (in particular the number of language pairs, AI translations, Scenes and article glossaries, the AI tutor, and bulk import of your own word lists). No payment details are required for free use, and there is no trial period that converts automatically into a subscription. These limits can be lifted by taking out a paid subscription ("Vokabulo Pro") at the price displayed in the App at the time of purchase; the subscription renews automatically for further periods until it is cancelled. You can cancel it at any time where you bought it (Sections 9.4 and 9.6); it then remains active until the end of the current period. When a paid subscription ends, the App continues in its free form with the limits described above; content you have saved remains visible. Details are provided in the App.

9.2. Where You Buy, and From Whom: You can take out a Subscription in two places. In the iPhone and iPad app you buy it from Apple through the App Store (App Store Subscription). In the Web App you buy it through Link, a service of Stripe, which sells it to you as the merchant of record and is shown at checkout as "Sold through Link" (Web Subscription). Either one unlocks Vokabulo Pro for your Account wherever you sign in, in the iPhone and iPad app and in the Web App. You change or cancel a Subscription where you bought it: the iPhone and iPad app shows a Web Subscription as billed through the web app, and the Web App refers you to the iOS app for an App Store Subscription. The Pro Family plan is available only as an App Store Subscription; the Web App offers the annual and the monthly plan.

9.3. Subscription Plans: Available plans and prices are shown before you buy: for App Store Subscriptions in the iPhone and iPad app and on the App Store product page, and for Web Subscriptions in the Web App and on Link's checkout page.

9.4. App Store Subscriptions: App Store Subscriptions are sold and billed by Apple, and all payments are subject to Apple's terms and conditions for in-app purchases. They renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period, and your Apple ID account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel an App Store Subscription at any time in your Apple ID account settings (Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep access until then. Refund requests are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's refund policies; contact Apple Support or visit reportaproblem.apple.com.

9.5. Web Subscriptions: the Seller and Its Terms: Web Subscriptions are sold to you by Link, a service of Stripe, as the merchant of record. Link takes the payment, charges and pays the VAT or sales tax that applies, and sends your receipts and invoices. Your card statement shows "LINK.COM* VOKABULO SUB". Your purchase is subject to Link's terms for purchases sold through Link, which are shown on the checkout page; these Terms continue to govern your use of the App. Tathros GmbH remains responsible for providing Vokabulo Pro and for support with the App itself. Promotional codes redeemed in the Web App apply only to the plan and period stated with the code.

9.6. Web Subscriptions: Renewal, Cancellation and Refunds: A Web Subscription renews automatically for the same period until it is cancelled, and each renewal is charged to the payment method you used at checkout. You can change or cancel it at any time in the Web App under Settings > Subscription > Change or cancel your plan, or in your Link account at link.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep Vokabulo Pro until then. Link handles payment questions, renewal reminders, refunds and disputes through its support, under its terms. You can also write to us at info@vokabulo.com; we can change or refund a Web Subscription for you.

9.7. Right of Withdrawal: If you are a consumer, your statutory right of withdrawal applies to your contract with the seller of your Subscription. For App Store Subscriptions, Apple is the seller, and withdrawal and refunds follow Apple's terms (reportaproblem.apple.com). For Web Subscriptions, Link is the seller, and withdrawal follows Link's terms for purchases sold through Link, including the withdrawal period they provide for consumers; you withdraw through Link's support. This does not affect your statutory rights.

9.8. Deleting Your Account: Deleting your Account does not cancel a Subscription. Cancel it first: an App Store Subscription in your Apple ID account settings, a Web Subscription in the Web App or in your Link account. Otherwise the Subscription keeps renewing and being charged. If you have already deleted your Account, you can still cancel a Web Subscription in your Link account at link.com.

10. Intellectual Property

10.1. The App, including its design, code, features, trademarks, Sets, and all associated content (excluding your personal vocabulary data), is owned by Tathros GmbH and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

10.2. Subject to these Terms, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on Apple-branded devices you own or control, in accordance with Apple's Usage Rules where you obtained it from the App Store, and to use the Web App in a web browser, in each case in accordance with these Terms.

10.3. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works of the App or any part thereof, except to the extent permitted by applicable mandatory law (including EU Directive 2009/24/EC on the legal protection of computer programs).

11. Third-Party Services

11.1. The App integrates with third-party services to provide its functionality. These include, but are not limited to:

11.2. We may change third-party service providers at any time without notice, provided the change does not materially reduce the functionality or security of the Service.

11.3. Each third-party service operates under its own terms and privacy policy. We are not responsible for the practices or content of third-party services.

11.4. Apple is not responsible for any External Services accessed through the App.

12. Device Permissions

12.1. Microphone: The App may request access to your microphone to enable voice input for Scenes, the word field and hands-free study. In the iPhone and iPad app, audio is processed by Apple's speech recognition and is not stored or transmitted by us. In the Web App, your browser asks for this permission and converts your speech into text as described in Section 7.5.

12.2. Speech Recognition: The iPhone and iPad app uses Apple's speech recognition to convert voice input into text, on your device or on Apple's servers, depending on your device, the feature and your connection (hands-free study uses Apple's servers whenever you are online).

12.3. Push Notifications: The App may request permission to send push notifications for study reminders. Only the iPhone and iPad app sends push notifications.

12.4. You may deny or revoke any permission at any time through your device's Settings or, for the Web App, your browser's site settings. Denying permissions will disable the corresponding feature but will not affect other App functionality.

13. Data Protection and Privacy

13.1. Your privacy is important to us. Our collection and use of Personal Data is governed by our Privacy Policy, available at https://www.vokabulo.com/en/privacy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

We ensure appropriate safeguards for international data transfers, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) where required by GDPR, UK IDTAs where required by UK law, and equivalent mechanisms for other jurisdictions.

14.2. Germany

If you are located in Germany:

(a) TDDDG (Telekommunikation-Digitale-Dienste-Datenschutz-Gesetz): The App constitutes a "digital service" under the TDDDG. In accordance with § 25 TDDDG, we store information on your device or in your browser, or access information already stored there, only where this is strictly necessary to provide the Service you explicitly requested (§ 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG) or with your consent, for example when you press play on a video. Section 10 of our Privacy Policy describes what is stored.

(e) Dispute Resolution: We are neither obligated nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (Verbraucherschlichtungsstelle), unless required by law.

(f) Liability (BGB): Statutory warranty rights (gesetzliche Gewährleistungsrechte) remain unaffected. In cases of intentional misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit), full liability applies.

(c) Cookie and Tracking Guidelines: In accordance with the Garante's guidelines on cookies and tracking tools (Provvedimento n. 229/2021), we confirm that the iPhone and iPad app uses no cookies or comparable tracking technologies, that the Web App uses only the cookies and browser storage that are strictly necessary to provide it, such as your sign-in session and an offline copy of your words, and that our website sets no cookies of its own and uses no advertising or profiling trackers. To count visits, the website uses a statistics script that stores nothing on your device, sets no identifier and produces only aggregated figures for this website. Two further elements can store or read information on your device, and neither of them runs while you are simply reading a page. The first is the YouTube player, which is created only when you press play: your click is your consent, nothing is sent to Google before it, and YouTube may then set and read its own identifiers. The second is the bot check on our newsletter signup form and our business inquiry forms, which runs only when you use one of those forms and is strictly necessary to provide it. Section 10 of our Privacy Policy describes all of them in full, together with the legal basis for each.

(d) Consumer Protection (Codice del Consumo, D.Lgs. 206/2005): Italian consumers benefit from mandatory consumer protection provisions, including the right of withdrawal from distance contracts (14 days, exercised against the seller of your Subscription, see Section 9.7), protection against unfair contract terms (clausole vessatorie), and the right to conformity of digital content under Articles 128–135 of the Codice del Consumo.
