Terms of Service

• You must be at least 13 years old to use Bolo!. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may only use the app with the involvement of a parent or guardian.
• You are responsible for the activity that happens under your account and for keeping your login credentials secure. Authentication is handled by our identity provider, Clerk.
• Please provide accurate information when you sign up and keep it current.

When you use Bolo!, you agree not to:

• Use the app for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms or any applicable law.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the app, other users' accounts, or our systems and networks.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, or interfere with the operation, security, or integrity of the app.
• Upload or transmit content that is abusive, harassing, infringing, or that you do not have the right to share — including through the microphone recording features.
• Misuse the social features (such as friends and leaderboards) to harass or impersonate others, or to send unsolicited or automated requests.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that harm the service or other users.

Bolo! offers a free tier and a paid subscription ("All-Access") that unlocks additional features. The following terms apply to paid subscriptions:

• Billing. All-Access is billed in advance on a recurring basis (for example, monthly or annually) at the price shown at the time of purchase, plus any applicable taxes.
• Auto-renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date. You can cancel at any time.
• Managing your subscription. Where you purchased All-Access determines how you manage or cancel it. Web purchases are managed through the app's billing settings; purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play are managed through your Apple or Google account subscription settings.
• Cancellation. When you cancel, you keep All-Access through the end of the current billing period, and it does not renew after that. We do not provide prorated refunds for partial periods except where required by law.
• App store terms. If you subscribe through the Apple App Store or Google Play, that platform's payment, refund, and subscription terms also apply and may govern cancellations and refunds.
• Price changes. We may change subscription prices going forward. We will give you reasonable notice, and changes will not affect the period you have already paid for.

You retain ownership of the content you provide, including your voice recordings. You grant us a limited license to process that content solely to operate the app — for example, to transcribe and score your pronunciation and return feedback. How we handle your voice recordings and other data is described in our Privacy Policy.

The app, including its lessons, content, software, branding, and design, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app for your own language learning. You may not copy, resell, or redistribute the app or its content except as expressly permitted.

Bolo! is a learning aid. Pronunciation scoring and AI-generated feedback are provided for practice and may not be perfectly accurate; they are not a substitute for professional instruction, translation, or certification.

The app is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any content will be accurate.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, use, or goodwill, arising out of your use of the app. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the app will not exceed the amount you paid us, if any, in the twelve months before the claim.

You may stop using the app and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the app. When your account is deleted, we handle your data as described in our Privacy Policy. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (such as intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will continue to apply.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be communicated through the app or by email where appropriate. Your continued use of the app after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
