Terms of Service

These terms apply to lingostories.app ("LingoStories", "we", "us"). By using the site you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

LingoStories helps you learn languages with short stories, audio, grammar lessons and phrases. All stories, lessons, phrases and audio are free to read and listen to, with or without an account. We may add, change or remove features and content at any time.

An account is free. Keep your password safe and give a real email address so we can reach you about your account. You are responsible for what happens in your account. You can delete your account at any time in Settings; your learning data is then deleted.

Premium is an optional paid plan that removes ads and adds extras such as unlimited word review and games, more streak freezes, word export, learning stats, reader options and themes. It never locks stories or lessons. Plans and prices are shown on the Premium page before you buy.

Payments are handled by our reseller, Lemon Squeezy, who acts as the merchant of record: they process the payment, add sales tax or VAT where it applies, send your receipt and handle billing questions under their own terms. We never see your card details.

Monthly and yearly plans renew automatically until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from "Manage subscription" on the Premium page or in Settings; Premium then stays active until the end of the period you paid for. A free trial, when offered, turns into a paid plan at its end unless you cancel before. Lifetime is a one-time payment for Premium as long as LingoStories offers it. Refunds follow Lemon Squeezy's refund policy and the consumer rights that apply where you live.

Please don't misuse the site: no attempts to break or overload it, no automated scraping or bulk copying of content, no accessing other people's accounts, and no use for anything unlawful. We may suspend accounts that do.

Our stories and lessons are licensed under CC BY-NC 4.0: you may share and adapt them for non-commercial use with credit to LingoStories. The site's design, code and name remain ours.

We work hard to keep stories, translations and audio correct and the site running, but it is provided "as is" without warranties. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect damages, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the last 12 months. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer under the law of your country.

We may update these terms. If a change matters for Premium subscribers, we will tell you by email before it applies.
