Terms of Service
Welcome to LinguaCue. These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User" or "you") and LinguaCue Inc. ("LinguaCue", "we", "us", or "our") governing your access to and use of our mobile applications, software, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service").
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using LinguaCue, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
1. End User License (Apple & Google Play)
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, LinguaCue grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use the application on compatible iOS or Android devices that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial educational purposes.
You acknowledge that this agreement is concluded between you and LinguaCue only, and not with Apple Inc. or Google LLC. Apple and Google are not responsible for the application or its content.
2. Subscription Terms & In-App Purchases (LinguaCue Pro)
LinguaCue offers both a comprehensive free tier and an optional premium subscription known as LinguaCue Pro.
A. Billing & Auto-Renewal
- Cadence: Subscriptions are available on a monthly or annual auto-renewing basis.
- Payment Processing: Payment is charged to your Apple ID account or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase.
- Auto-Renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing cycle.
- Renewal Charges: Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the rate of the selected plan.
B. Managing & Canceling Subscriptions
You can manage your subscription or turn off auto-renewal at any time:
- iOS: Go to your device
Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions → LinguaCue. - Android: Open the Google Play Store app, tap your profile icon →
Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → LinguaCue.
Canceling a subscription stops future renewals; you will retain access to Pro features until the conclusion of your current billing period.
