LEGAL
Terms of Service
These Terms govern your use of SYNTAX.exe. By creating an account or using the app, you agree to them.
1. The service
SYNTAX.exe is a language-learning game that provides practice activities, progression, and related features. Features may change, and some modes may be unavailable or labeled as coming soon.
2. Eligibility and accounts
- You must be able to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction (generally 13+; parental consent where required).
- You are responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials secure.
- One person should not share an account in a way that breaks these Terms or game integrity.
3. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Cheat, abuse multiplayer/ranked features, or manipulate scoring systems
- Attempt to access other users’ accounts or data
- Reverse engineer, scrape, or overload our servers or providers beyond normal use
- Upload or transmit unlawful, harassing, or infringing content
- Use the app to train competing models by systematically extracting our content
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
4. Content ownership
- Our content. Decks, nodes, UI, branding, and game design remain owned by us or our licensors. You get a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use them inside the app.
- Your submissions. You keep ownership of content you create in practice (answers, recordings/transcripts used for grading). You grant us a license to process that content solely to operate and improve the service (including AI grading where enabled).
- Feedback. If you send product feedback, we may use it without obligation to you.
5. AI features
Some optional activities use OpenAI to generate dialog turns, grade responses, or provide live voice practice. Before the app sends answers, transcripts, or live microphone audio to OpenAI, it presents a separate disclosure and asks for your permission. You may decline and continue using non-AI lessons, or revoke permission later from ME under Legal. AI output can be wrong or incomplete. Do not rely on the app as professional language certification or medical/legal advice.
6. Virtual items and progress
In-app currencies, streaks, unlocks, cosmetics, and similar progress have no real-world cash value, are not redeemable, and may be adjusted or reset if needed for balance, abuse prevention, or service changes. v1 does not offer paid in-app purchases; if purchases are added later, additional terms will apply.
7. Disclaimers
THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.
8. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROGRESS, OR PROFITS, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE APP IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) USD $50.
9. Termination
You may stop using the app and delete your account at any time (ME → Legal → Delete Account). We may suspend or terminate access for violations of these Terms or to protect the service or other users. Sections that by nature should survive (ownership, disclaimers, liability limits) survive termination.
10. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data.
11. Changes
We may update these Terms. The effective date will change when we do. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the app and delete your account.
