Terms of Use for LearnReader

Effective and last updated: September 8, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the LearnReader mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By downloading, accessing, purchasing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be legally capable of entering into these Terms. If you have not reached the age of legal majority where you live, your parent or legal guardian must review and accept these Terms on your behalf.

You can use LearnReader and purchase subscriptions without creating a personal account. Sign in with Apple is optional and is used for account-based features, such as syncing supported learning data across devices. If you use Sign in with Apple, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your Apple account and for activity performed through your LearnReader account. Information provided through your account must be accurate. Notify us promptly at learnreader@proton.me if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.

2. The Service

LearnReader provides language-learning tools that may include:

• reading and viewing user-selected books, manga, websites, and videos;
• discovering and downloading selected public-domain ebooks from third-party sources;
• on-device text recognition and text selection;
• local and AI-assisted translations and language explanations;
• flashcards, review scheduling, progress tracking, and learning analytics;
• AI voice practice using a chosen topic, selected flashcards, or a limited book excerpt, with an automatically generated lesson report and, where included in the plan, personalization based on up to three recent reports for the same language. You can review and clear this report memory inside the AI Teacher section; and
• optional account-based synchronization and premium features.

Features, limits, supported languages, and availability may change over time. The current product description and purchase screen controls if they differ from a general description in these Terms.

3. AI-Generated Content

Some translations, explanations, pronunciations, voice conversations, corrections, and learning suggestions are generated using artificial intelligence. AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, offensive, outdated, or unsuitable for a particular context. You must review important output independently and must not rely on LearnReader as a substitute for professional, medical, legal, financial, safety-critical, or certified translation advice.

Do not submit confidential, sensitive, regulated, or third-party personal information for AI translation or voice practice unless you have the right and a lawful basis to do so.

4. User Content and Third-Party Content

You retain any rights you have in content you import, select, save, speak, or submit. You grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, process, transmit, reproduce, and format that content only as needed to operate, secure, and improve the Service.

You represent that you have the necessary rights to use content with LearnReader. You may not use the Service to infringe copyrights, privacy rights, contractual restrictions, or other rights. LearnReader may host catalog metadata and optimized cover thumbnails, but does not host or redistribute ebook files listed in the free book catalog. An ebook download is initiated by you and delivered directly from the identified third-party source to your device.

The initial free book catalog uses Project Gutenberg metadata, selected cover images, and official OPDS links. Project Gutenberg identifies listed works as public domain in the United States; copyright status may differ in your country, including for a particular translation, illustration, introduction, or edition. You are responsible for complying with the law where you access or use a work. Availability, source addresses, metadata, and rights status may change, and we may remove a catalog entry at any time. LearnReader is independent from and is not endorsed by Project Gutenberg or other third-party content providers. Third-party source pages and downloads remain subject to the provider's applicable terms.

5. Subscriptions, Billing, and Trials

LearnReader may offer auto-renewable subscriptions through Apple's In-App Purchase system. The purchase screen displays the subscription name, duration, included service, price, billing period, and any trial or introductory offer before you confirm a purchase. Sign in with Apple is not required before purchasing an App Store subscription, but you may sign in later if you want to use account-based synchronization features. Subscription access is intended to be available on supported devices associated with your Apple Account through Apple's purchase and restore systems.

• Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.
• A subscription automatically renews unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.
• Your Apple Account may be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.
• You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple subscription settings. Deleting LearnReader or deleting your LearnReader account does not itself cancel an App Store subscription.
• If a free trial or introductory offer is available, the purchase screen will state its duration and the price charged afterward. Any unused portion may be forfeited when you purchase a subscription, where permitted.
• You can use Restore Purchases in the Service to restore eligible purchases on supported devices using Apple's purchase systems.
• Apple processes payments and refund requests. Refund eligibility is governed by Apple's policies and applicable law. You may request a refund through Apple's Report a Problem service.

LearnReader may also offer consumable translation-credit packs through Apple's In-App Purchase system. The purchase screen states the number of credits and price before you confirm. Credits are consumed only for eligible AI translation requests and have no cash value. They are not an auto-renewable subscription. Consumable purchases may not be restorable through Apple's Restore Purchases flow after they have been consumed. An anonymous balance is linked to the app's internal installation identity and may be lost if the app is deleted before that identity is linked to a LearnReader account.

Free feature allowances and voice trials are promotional service limits, not purchased property or cash credits. A subscription purchase does not reset a voice trial that was already used. Current plan eligibility, included limits, and any additional purchase rules are shown in the app before purchase.

We may change subscription offerings or prices prospectively. Apple will provide any notice or consent flow required for a price increase. Changes do not affect a period already paid for.

If your subscription ends or premium access is otherwise no longer active, premium limits may revert to free limits. Existing synchronized flashcards are not deleted solely because your subscription ends, but creating or synchronizing additional cloud flashcards may be limited until your account is within the free limit or premium access is restored.

Subscription availability, trials, introductory offers, restore behavior, refunds, and billing are subject to Apple's App Store rules and systems. If Apple reports that a subscription is inactive, expired, refunded, revoked, or otherwise unavailable, premium access may be suspended or adjusted accordingly.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• use the Service for unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, or harmful activity;
• submit content you do not have the right to process;
• attempt to bypass usage, access, subscription, or security controls;
• interfere with the Service, servers, networks, or another user's access;
• use automated means to scrape, overload, or access the Service without permission;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or derive source code except to the extent such a restriction is prohibited by applicable law or allowed by an open-source license;
• resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service without written permission; or
• use AI output to mislead others about its source, accuracy, or human authorship.

7. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, branding, and original content, is owned by LearnReader or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms grant you only a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Service in accordance with these Terms and the App Store Usage Rules.

The Service may include third-party and open-source software components. Those components remain subject to their own license terms and notices, which are available in our Open-Source Notices. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you may have under an applicable open-source license.

8. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, shared, and retained. It is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

9. Account Deletion and Termination

If you use Sign in with Apple, you may initiate account deletion from Settings > Account > Delete Account. Account deletion does not cancel an Apple subscription; cancellation must be completed in Apple subscription settings.

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially or repeatedly violate these Terms, create security or legal risk, misuse the Service, or if we are required to do so by law. Where reasonable, we will provide notice and an opportunity to address the issue. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will remain effective.

10. Changes and Availability

We may update, add, limit, suspend, or discontinue features to improve or secure the Service, comply with law, or reflect technical and business changes. We do not guarantee that every feature will always be available, uninterrupted, or supported on every device, language, or location.

We may update these Terms. The updated Terms will be posted at this URL with a revised effective date. Where required, we will provide additional notice or request consent. Continued use after an update takes effect constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.

11. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." WE DISCLAIM IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR AI OUTPUT WILL BE ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR UNINTERRUPTED.

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties, remedies, or consumer rights that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LEARNREADER AND ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR USD 50. These limitations do not apply where prohibited by law or to liability that cannot legally be limited.

13. Apple-Specific Terms

If you obtained LearnReader through Apple's App Store, Apple is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the Service, maintenance, support, warranties, or claims relating to LearnReader. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce the Apple-specific provisions against you.

Unless a custom end-user license agreement is presented in App Store Connect, your license to the app is also subject to Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement. If these Terms conflict with Apple's mandatory App Store terms, those mandatory terms control for your use of the iOS app.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Kazakhstan, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. This choice does not deprive you of mandatory protections or rights available under the laws of your country of residence. Any dispute forum requirement applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

15. General Terms

If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will remain effective. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them as part of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or transfer of the Service, subject to applicable law. These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and applicable Apple terms form the agreement concerning your use of the Service.
