End User Licence Agreement

1. Scope and contracting parties

This licence agreement governs the use of the Lingly app. It is concluded between you and Lufy Studios, Luis Fynn Schenk – not with Apple. By downloading, installing or using the app you agree to it. If you do not agree, please do not use the app.

2. What Lingly is

Lingly is a language course for German and Turkish in both directions. It leads through levels A1 to B1 and consists of vocabulary lessons, grammar topics with exercises and mnemonics, reading texts, writing tasks, speaking exercises and guided conversations. The content resides in the app; no internet connection is required in order to learn.

3. Right of use

You receive a simple, non-transferable, revocable right to use Lingly on the Apple devices that you own or control, within the scope of the App Store Terms of Service. Use is permitted for your own learning, private as well as professional. Not permitted are: reproducing or passing on the content, incorporating it into other offerings, renting or selling the app, reverse engineering it, or circumventing its technical protection measures.

4. Account

An account via „Sign in with Apple“ is optional. The app works fully without one; your progress then stays on that single device. You are responsible for the security of your Apple ID. We do not offer sign-in with email and password.

5. Free use and Lingly Pro

The course is fully accessible free of charge. Without a subscription you learn with a limited number of hearts: a mistake costs a heart, spent hearts replenish by themselves after a short time, and some of the guided conversations are reserved for Pro.

Lingly Pro lifts these limits: learning without hearts, access to all conversations, and every conversation either typed or spoken, as you prefer. A monthly and an annual subscription are offered; the annual subscription is preceded by a free trial week. The prices that apply are shown in the app and in the App Store and may differ by country.

6. Renewal, cancellation, refunds

The subscription renews automatically for the same period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it expires. Billing runs through your Apple ID. You can manage and cancel it at any time in the settings of your Apple account or in the app under Profile → Subscription; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period. If a free trial is not cancelled before it ends, it converts into a paid subscription.

Purchase and billing are handled by Apple. Refunds are therefore governed by the terms of the App Store and must be requested from Apple, not from us. Statutory rights, in particular a right of withdrawal for digital content, remain unaffected.

7. Content and copyright

Course texts, exercises, design and program code are protected by copyright and belong to Lufy Studios. What you write into the app yourself belongs to you; we neither process it nor see it, because it does not leave your device and your iCloud.

8. No substitute for tuition

Lingly replaces neither tuition nor exam preparation and does not prepare you for any particular examination. We take care with the content, but we cannot guarantee that every sentence is linguistically flawless, and no particular learning outcome can be assured. We are glad to receive reports of mistakes.

9. Third-party services

For syncing between your devices the app uses iCloud, for speech recognition and speech output the services of Apple, and for purchases the App Store. We cannot vouch for their availability or function; the respective terms of Apple apply.

10. Warranty

The app is provided as it is. We do not warrant that it is free of errors or available without interruption. Statutory rights in respect of defects remain unaffected. Should the app fail to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever.

11. Liability

We are liable without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence, and for injury to life, body or health. In cases of slight negligence we are liable only for the breach of material contractual obligations, and limited in amount to the damage foreseeable and typical for this type of contract. We, not Apple, are responsible for claims in connection with the app – including product liability, consumer protection and infringement of third-party rights.

12. Maintenance and support

We alone are responsible for maintenance and support. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish them. You can reach us at info@lufystudios.de or in the app under Settings → Help.

13. Export regulations

You represent that you are not located in a country that is subject to a United States embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a country supporting terrorism, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

14. Termination

You may stop using the app at any time, delete it, and remove your account in the app under Profile → Delete account. In the event of serious breaches of this agreement we may block access. A running subscription is unaffected by this and must be cancelled through your Apple ID.

15. Changes

Content and features continue to develop. We may adapt this agreement where there is a substantive need to do so; the version in force is shown here and in the app, and the date above is then updated.

16. Governing law

German law applies, excluding the conflict-of-law provisions of private international law. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence remain unaffected.

17. Apple as third-party beneficiary

Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this agreement. Upon your acceptance, Apple has the right to enforce this agreement against you.
