Terms of Service

Last updated: October 3, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern the use of the Language Fun platform ("Language Fun", "we", "platform"), including the website and the language-learning services offered online. By creating an account or using the platform, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.

1. What Language Fun is

Language Fun is an online language-learning platform, with lessons organized in stages (bilingual vocabulary, guided reading with audio, independent reading and, where available for the language, pronunciation assessment). Access to lessons and features varies with the account's membership type (Free or Premium), described below.

2. User accounts

To use the platform beyond the public content, you must create an account with a first name, a last name and a valid e-mail address. Each e-mail address is associated with at most one active account at a time. If you try to sign up with an e-mail address already associated with an existing account, you will be directed to log in to the existing account instead of creating a new one.

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for all activity carried out in your account.

3. Free membership

A Free account has access to the lessons the platform's administration explicitly marks as free. The remaining lessons are available only to Premium accounts.

4. Premium membership and recurring subscription

Premium membership gives access to every lesson published on the platform, whether or not it is marked as free, through a paid subscription billed monthly on a recurring basis.

As of this update, the standard price of the Premium subscription is $10.00 per month.Language Fun may update this amount from time to time; the exact amount to be charged is always shown on the subscription page (/upgrade) before the payment is confirmed, and it is the amount shown at the time of subscribing that actually applies to your subscription. A future change in the standard amount shown above does not, by itself, constitute a change to these Terms.

While your Premium subscription remains continuously active, future increases in the standard price do not affect the amount you are already paying ("Price Lock"). If you cancel and return to Free membership, that locked price is lost; a future re-subscription applies the standard (or promotional, where applicable) price in force at the time of the new subscription.

5. Payment providers

Payments for the Premium subscription are processed by specialized third-party providers: Stripe and PayPal. Language Fun does not directly collect or store your payment card details; that collection is done entirely on the payment pages hosted by Stripe or PayPal, depending on the method you choose.

By subscribing to Premium, you authorize Language Fun, through the payment provider you chose, to make recurring monthly charges in the amount applicable to your subscription, until it is cancelled.

6. Cancellation

You can cancel your Premium subscription at any time, directly on the Account page. Cancellation stops future charges; it is not a refund and does not return amounts already paid.

After cancellation, you keep Premium access until the end of the period already paid for and, from then on, your account returns to Free membership. You can also cancel directly with the payment provider used when subscribing (Stripe or PayPal); in that case, the cancellation is reflected in your account as soon as Language Fun receives the corresponding confirmation from the provider.

Deleting your account (see the "Account deletion" section below) also automatically cancels any active subscription, by an immediate request to the provider. A deletion confirmed by the member is immediate and permanent, as described below.

7. Failed payments and loss of Premium access

If a recurring charge fails, the payment provider (Stripe or PayPal) automatically retries the charge for a period determined by the provider itself. During that period, Premium access is kept. If the retries do not succeed, Premium access ends and the account returns to Free membership.

8. Right of withdrawal (14 days), refunds, chargebacks and disputes

Language Fun voluntarily grants a period of 14 calendar days for withdrawal and a full refund of your first paid purchase of the Premium subscription. This is a voluntary policy of the platform, applied regardless of your country of residence.

The period is counted in calendar days in the America/New_York time zone: a purchase made on a given date remains refundable until the end of the 14th day after that date. For example, a purchase made at any time on September 1 can be refunded until September 15 at 11:59:59 p.m.; from the start of September 16, the period has ended. The time of day of the purchase does not shorten your period.

This voluntary policy does not limit, replace or reduce the consumer rights provided by applicable law. Where the law guarantees more than this policy, the law prevails.

Within that period, you request the refund on the Account page itself. The amount returned is exactly the amount actually paid in that first purchase: if a discount coupon reduced the charge, it is the reduced amount that is returned, with no proration. The refund is made through the same payment method and the same provider used for the purchase (Stripe or PayPal).

Subscriptions obtained with a 100% discount coupon generate no payment and therefore have no amount to be refunded.

When the refund is approved, the corresponding paid subscription ends immediately and the Premium access obtained through it ends at the same moment; your account returns to Free membership.

The only exception is if you independently hold lifetime Premium access granted by the administration (a lifetime 100% coupon). In that case, the refund ends only the paid subscription that was refunded: the lifetime Premium access remains valid as usual, because it was not granted by that subscription.

Subsequent monthly renewals do not open a new 14-day period, and cancelling and subscribing again does not grant this voluntary right again: it applies once, to your first paid purchase.

After the 14 days, there is no ordinary voluntary refund. Cancellation remains available at any time (see the "Cancellation" section above) and stops future charges only. Language Fun may still grant exceptional refunds where appropriate or legally required, for example for a duplicate charge, a billing error or a technical failure, by contacting our support (see the "Contact" section below).

In the event of a chargeback or a payment dispute opened with Stripe or PayPal, Language Fun may suspend or cancel the Premium access associated with the disputed payment, and any referral commissions already credited on that payment may be reversed.

9. User accounts and account deletion

When you confirm the deletion from your account, the closure is immediate and permanent, with no recovery period. The cancellation of billing is requested immediately.

Deletions scheduled by the administration may have a 30-day recovery period. That rule does not apply to a deletion requested by the member. Pending refunds or payments are handled separately and do not delay the closure requested by the member.

The request and the final deletion have the following effects:

• Your access ends immediately.
• The cancellation of any active Premium subscription is requested immediately. Provider failures are kept for a new attempt.
• On final deletion, all referrals you hold as a referrer are permanently lost and pass to the administrative control of the platform.
• Your rights to future commissions from those referrals end permanently on final deletion.
• Your locked price (Price Lock), if any, is permanently lost.
• On final deletion, your personal profile data is deleted or anonymized when the deletion completes, except for information that must legitimately be retained for legal, accounting, tax, security, fraud-prevention or regulatory reasons (see also our Privacy Policy).

On a deletion requested by the member, available commissions of $20.00 or more are forwarded for payment when a verified payout account exists. Amounts below $20.00, or without a verified payout account, are permanently transferred to the administration, as are all referrals. Payments already in progress are preserved. Payment failures neither void an eligible amount owed nor delay the closure of the account.

A new sign-up made after the final deletion of the account is always a new member identity, starting from zero: it does not restore the previous member, referrals, locked price, lesson progress or any other benefit of the deleted account.

10. Referral program (referrals and commissions)

Every member automatically receives their own referral link (in the form /r/<identifier>), which can be shared to refer new members. The default identifier of that link can be customized once per account, over the whole lifetime of the account.

The referral relationship (who referred whom) is durably recorded at the moment the referred member signs up, based on the referral link actually used, and does not depend on browser cookies.

Referral commission accrues only while, simultaneously: (i) the referrer's account is active and on Premium membership; (ii) the referred member's account is active and on Premium membership; (iii) the referral has not been invalidated for fraud or irregularity; and (iv) no exclusion applies for a refund, chargeback or dispute related to the payment. The commission is 50% of the applicable amount (locked or current standard) paid by the referred member for their Premium subscription, per billing period in which the conditions above are met.

If the referrer downgrades their own account to Free membership, the accrual of commission on their referrals is paused (the referral relationship itself is not undone) and resumes prospectively from a new Premium subscription, with no retroactive effect for the period spent on Free membership. A referral is transferred to the administrative control of the platform only when the referrer's account is deleted, never merely for a downgrade to Free.

Commission payments are made by PayPal, to the account's e-mail or ID. We recommend that you have a PayPal account before joining the reseller program, since it is not possible to receive payments without one.

Not having a payout method does not prevent you from promoting the platform or from accruing commissions that meet the eligibility rules above. To receive the amounts, you must register and verify a PayPal account, reach the minimum balance of available commissions for withdrawal (currently $20.00) and meet the other payment conditions. You can register your payout method in the reseller dashboard before reaching that balance.

11. Customizing the referral link

Each account can customize the identifier of its own referral link (/r/<identifier>) once, over the whole lifetime of the account. After that customization, the identifier cannot be changed again by the member.

12. Fraud, manipulation and misuse of the referral program

The following, among other conduct, is expressly prohibited:

• Using multiple accounts, false identities or any other device to refer yourself;
• Falsifying, manipulating or forging referral identifiers or referral links;
• Creating fraudulent accounts in order to generate undue referrals or commissions;
• Claiming, in a conflicting or duplicate way, the authorship of a referral that does not correspond to the referred member's actual use of the referral link.

Language Fun may, at any time, invalidate fraudulent or irregular referrals and reverse the associated commissions, without prejudice to other applicable measures.

13. Intellectual property

The lesson content, texts, audio materials, brand and other elements of the Language Fun platform are protected by intellectual property rights. Using the platform does not transfer to you any ownership right over that content; you receive only a personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable license to use the content according to your membership (Free or Premium), for personal learning purposes.

14. Acceptable use

By using the platform, you agree not to:

• Copy, redistribute, resell or publicly make available the lesson content without authorization;
• Attempt to access accounts, data or content that are not yours by circumventing the platform's access controls;
• Use the platform for unlawful purposes or to violate the rights of others;
• Interfere with the normal operation of the platform or attempt to compromise its security.

15. Service availability

Language Fun seeks to keep the platform continuously available, but does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. The service may be temporarily unavailable for maintenance, updates or for reasons beyond our reasonable control.

16. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Language Fun is not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from the use of, or the inability to use, the platform. Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit rights that cannot be validly excluded or limited under applicable law, including applicable consumer-protection law.

17. Changes to the service

Language Fun may add, modify or remove features, lessons and resources of the platform at any time, seeking to preserve the experience of already registered members as far as possible.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When that happens, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the platform after an update to these Terms constitutes acceptance of the updated version.
