1. Acceptance of these Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement
between you and QuackPath. By creating an account,
downloading, or using the QuackPath app or any related
services (the "Service"), you confirm that you have read,
understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and the
Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age
required in your country to consent to online services) and
legally able to enter into a binding contract. If you use
the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that
you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
3. Accounts
- You may sign in using Google, Apple, or email and password.
- You are responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials secure and for activity that occurs under your account.
- You agree to provide accurate information when prompted and to keep it up to date.
- We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe are being misused.
4. License to use the app
Subject to these Terms, QuackPath grants you a personal,
limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license
to install and use the Service for your own personal,
non-commercial language learning. All rights not expressly
granted are reserved.
5. Acceptable use
- Do not use the Service in a way that violates any law or the rights of others.
- Do not harass, abuse, threaten, bully, stalk, impersonate, or otherwise engage in harmful conduct toward other users, including through display names, profiles, messages, challenges, or any other social or interactive feature.
- Do not upload, paste, scan, photograph, dictate, share, or otherwise import content you do not own or do not have the right to use for your own personal study.
- Do not submit content that contains another person's private or personal information without their permission.
- Do not attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, scrape, probe, overload, or interfere with the Service or its infrastructure.
- Do not bypass usage limits, authentication, rate limiting, or any access controls.
- Do not use the Service to generate or distribute infringing, hateful, harassing, sexual, deceptive, or otherwise unlawful material.
- Do not use voice features to record anyone other than yourself without their consent.
6. User Content and your responsibility for it
QuackPath lets you create study material from content you
provide ("User Content"). User Content includes text you type
or paste, text recognized from photos and document scans, text
and files you share into QuackPath from other apps, situation
descriptions you type or dictate, and your voice when you
speak to the AI tutor or practice pronunciation.
You are solely responsible for your User Content.
Each time you add content, you confirm — as the in-app
checkbox states — that you can use that content for personal
study. By submitting User Content you represent and warrant
that you own it or otherwise have all rights, permissions, or
licenses needed to use it with the Service. This applies
equally to song lyrics, books, articles, photographed or
scanned pages, and any other material protected by copyright
or other rights. QuackPath does not review, license, or clear
rights in your User Content for you, and nothing in the
Service should be understood as permission to use someone
else's content.
Private, personal study only. Study material
generated from your User Content is created for your own
account and your own personal learning. We do not publish it,
share it with other users, or redistribute it beyond what is
needed to provide the Service to you, and you agree not to
redistribute it yourself or use it to republish the underlying
content.
You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant QuackPath
a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, transmit,
process (including with the AI providers described in the
Privacy Policy), transform, and display your User Content
solely as needed to operate, secure, and improve the Service
for you. We may remove or disable access to any User Content
or generated material that we believe infringes someone
else's rights or violates these Terms, and we may suspend or
terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.
7. Copyright complaints
We respect the rights of content owners. If you believe
material stored through the Service infringes your copyright,
send a notice to
support@quackpath.com
with the subject "Copyright complaint" that includes: (a) a
description of the copyrighted work you believe is infringed;
(b) enough information for us to locate the material (for
example the account, course title, or content excerpt); (c)
your contact details; (d) a statement that you have a good
faith belief the use is not authorized by the rights owner,
its agent, or the law; (e) a statement, under penalty of
perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and
that you are the rights owner or authorized to act for them;
and (f) your physical or electronic signature.
On receiving a valid notice we will remove or disable access
to the identified material and notify the user who submitted
it. That user may respond with a counter-notice containing
their contact details, identification of the removed material,
and a statement under penalty of perjury that they have a good
faith belief the material was removed by mistake or
misidentification; where appropriate we may restore material
in response to a valid counter-notice. We terminate the
accounts of repeat infringers.
8. AI-generated content
Courses, translations, example sentences, hints, quiz
questions, tutor replies, and synthesized speech are generated
by automated AI systems. AI output can be incomplete,
inaccurate, mistranslated, or misleading, and may not reflect
the views of QuackPath. Verify anything important before
relying on it. AI output is provided for language practice
only and is not professional, medical, legal, financial, or
educational-certification advice. Your inputs are processed by
the third-party AI providers described in the Privacy Policy
in order to generate this output.
9. Third-party services
- The Service relies on third-party providers, including Google Firebase (authentication, notifications), Apple platform services (sign-in, purchases, on-device text recognition and speech recognition), AI providers (such as Google, Groq, OpenAI, and Inworld), and Cloudflare (hosting, delivery, and backups).
- Third-party services have their own terms and privacy policies, which govern your use of those services.
- Availability of any third-party-dependent feature may change, be limited, or be discontinued without notice.
10. Intellectual property
The QuackPath name, logo, app, generated study scaffolding,
user interface, and underlying software are owned by
QuackPath and protected by intellectual property laws. These
Terms do not transfer any ownership of QuackPath's
intellectual property to you, and you may not copy, modify,
distribute, sublicense, or create derivative works of the
Service except as expressly permitted.
11. Subscriptions and billing
QuackPath offers an optional paid plan ("QuackPath Plus")
that unlocks additional features, including the AI voice
tutor. The current price and duration for each plan are shown
inside the app before you purchase.
- Apple billing. On iOS, QuackPath Plus is sold through Apple's in-app purchase system. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
- Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the period ends. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
- Manage or cancel. You can manage and cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings after purchase. Deleting the QuackPath app does not cancel a subscription.
- Free trials and offers. Where a free trial or introductory offer is available, any unused portion of the trial is forfeited when you start a paid subscription. Eligibility for trials is determined by Apple.
- Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple under its standard refund policies. Deleting your QuackPath account does not refund or cancel an active App Store subscription.

Use: /terms/
12. Account deletion
You can delete your QuackPath account from
Settings -> My Data. Deletion removes your
account and associated learning data from our active systems.
It does not cancel a subscription that is billed by Apple —
cancel that separately in your Apple ID settings.
13. Service changes and availability
QuackPath is under active development. We may add, change,
limit, or remove features at any time, and the Service may be
unavailable from time to time for maintenance or reasons
beyond our control. Generated study material, translations,
and other content may be incomplete, delayed, or imperfect.
14. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR
STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND
UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. THIS INCLUDES
AI-GENERATED COURSES, TRANSLATIONS, TRANSCRIPTS, AND TUTOR
REPLIES. QUACKPATH IS A STUDY AID AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR
PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION, TRANSLATION, OR LEGAL ADVICE.
15. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, QUACKPATH AND ITS
DEVELOPERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE
LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL,
EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS,
REVENUES, GOODWILL, OR DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM
ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE
GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO QUACKPATH IN THE
TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR
(B) USD 50. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN
LIMITATIONS, SO PARTS OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
16. Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless QuackPath
and its developers from any claims, damages, liabilities, and
costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your
misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your
User Content — including any claim that User Content you
submitted infringes the copyright or other rights of a third
party.
17. Enforcement, suspension, and termination
At our sole discretion, and with or without prior notice, we
may take any action we consider appropriate against your
account or your User Content. This includes the right to
restrict, suspend, limit, hide or make invisible to
other users, or permanently terminate and delete your
account and any associated content.
Grounds for such action include, without limitation:
harassment, abuse, threats, bullying, or other harmful conduct
toward other users; violation of these Terms or the acceptable
use rules in Section 5 (including repeat infringement of
others' rights); fraud, deception, or abuse of the Service; or
any activity that may harm other users, the Service, or
QuackPath. Where necessary to protect other users, the Service,
or QuackPath, we may take such action
immediately, which may include making the
account or its content invisible to other users.
Termination of an account may result in the
permanent deletion of the account and its data,
consistent with Section 12 (Account deletion) and the Privacy
Policy. Nothing in these Terms obligates us to monitor User
Content or user conduct, and the rights described in this
section are in addition to, and not in place of, any other
rights or remedies available to us at law or under these Terms.
You may stop using the Service at any time and delete your
account from inside the app. Sections that by their nature
should survive termination (such as User Content licenses for
residual copies, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation
of liability, indemnity, and dispute resolution) will survive.
18. Apple App Store terms
If you obtained the app through the Apple App Store, the
following also applies. These Terms are between you and
QuackPath only, not with Apple, and Apple is not responsible
for the app or its content. Apple has no obligation to
provide maintenance or support for the app. In the event of
any failure of the app to conform to any applicable warranty,
you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase
price for the app to you (if any); to the maximum extent
permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation
whatsoever with respect to the app. Apple and its
subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms,
and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple has the right
(and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these
Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.
19. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in
which the QuackPath developer is established, without regard
to its conflict-of-laws rules. To the extent allowed by your
local law, any dispute arising out of or relating to these
Terms or the Service will be brought in the courts located in
that jurisdiction. Nothing in these Terms removes any
mandatory consumer rights you may have under the law of your
country of residence.
20. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last
updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
Material changes will be communicated in the app or on this
page. Your continued use of the Service after a change takes
effect means you accept the updated Terms.
