We may modify the Service or these Terms at any time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Effective Date” and, where required, by additional notice (e.g., email or in-app). Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
Subject to these Terms, SonLerni grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Service for personal, non-commercial language learning. Except as permitted, you shall not: copy, modify, distribute, publicly perform, or create derivative works; reverse engineer or attempt to derive source code; circumvent security or DRM; access the Service to build a competing product; or use the Service unlawfully.
You may submit or generate content (e.g., notes, flashcards, prompts to the AI tutor) (“User Content”). You retain ownership of User Content. You grant SonLerni a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to host, store, reproduce, process, adapt, and display User Content as reasonably necessary to operate and improve the Service. You represent you have all rights to grant the foregoing and that your User Content complies with law.
If you provide feedback, ideas, or suggestions (“Feedback”), you grant SonLerni a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use it without restriction or obligation to you.
The Service may surface third-party content (e.g., podcasts, transcripts) and links. SonLerni does not control and is not responsible for such content or sites, and your use is at your own risk and subject to third-party terms/policies.
