URflashcards Terms of Service.
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to and use of URflashcards, a language-learning flashcard application provided by Şerif Cin (“Provider”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).
The Terms are intended to be read together with the Privacy Policy, the Account Deletion information page, and any purchase terms shown by Google Play or another supported app store at the time of purchase.
Service and provider information
- The “Service” means the URflashcards application, the learning features available in the application, and urflashcards.com pages that support the application.
- The Service is designed for language learning, vocabulary review, flashcard practice, spaced-repetition scheduling, custom vocabulary management, optional cloud backup, and related study support.
- The Service is provided and administered by Şerif Cin. Support and personal-data questions can be sent to support@urflashcards.com.
- The availability, structure, design, and technical operation of the Service may change over time for maintenance, security, legal, provider, or product reasons.
Words used in these Terms
- User means any person who installs, opens, accesses, or uses the Service, or a parent or legal guardian who allows a minor to use the Service.
- Application means the URflashcards mobile or web application experience.
- Account means an optional sign-in account used for Cloud Sync, backup, restore, account deletion, Premium entitlement refresh, or related account features.
- Learning Data means progress, reviewed cards, answers, mistakes, mastery, SRS/FSRS review data, streaks, XP, statistics, settings, selected languages, and related study records.
- User Content means custom cards, categories, notes, examples, edits, or other content that a user creates, imports, modifies, or syncs through the Service.
- Premium means paid or subscription-based access shown in the Application or app store, which may remove ads or unlock additional limits or features.
Affirmative agreement to these Terms
- By using the Service, creating or using an Account, checking an in-app Terms and Privacy acceptance box, continuing past an in-app legal acceptance step, starting a study flow after the Terms are presented, or purchasing Premium, you confirm that you have had access to these Terms and agree to them.
- If you use the Service for a child or another person, you confirm that you have authority to accept these Terms for that person and that you are responsible for that use.
- Use of the Service is voluntary. URflashcards can only provide the Service under these Terms, so if you decline them, you should not continue into the Application experience governed by these Terms. You may uninstall the Application, clear local app data, or contact support for account-deletion questions.
- Consent is not inferred from silence, closing a screen, pressing the device back button, or leaving the Application. Where the Application asks for legal acceptance, acceptance requires an affirmative action such as checking the acceptance box or pressing a clearly labelled continuation button.
- The Application may store the accepted legal version locally so the onboarding flow can confirm that the Terms and Privacy Policy were accepted before the Premium offer is shown.
What the app may include
The Service may include vocabulary cards, grammar cards, predefined categories, examples, translations, pronunciation hints, text-to-speech, speech practice, study sessions, practice modes, SRS/FSRS review scheduling, statistics, streaks, achievements, local review reminders, custom cards, deleted-card restoration, Cloud Sync, backup and restore, ads, rewarded ad-free passes, Premium entitlements, and other features shown by the app interface.
Some features are local to your device. Some features depend on account sign-in, Premium status, network availability, app-store services, Firebase, AdMob, RevenueCat, browser features, operating-system services, or device permissions.
Account responsibilities
- Many learning features can be used without Cloud Sync. Account features require sign-in through a supported provider such as Google or Apple when available.
- You are responsible for keeping the Google, Apple, or other supported sign-in account used with URflashcards secure and for activity that occurs through your account.
- Please provide accurate account information when requested by the app, app store, or sign-in provider.
- If you are under 13, or under the minimum age required by your country or app store rules, you may use the Service only with permission from a parent or legal guardian.
- We may limit, suspend, or refuse access to account features where necessary to protect the Service, comply with law, respond to provider requirements, prevent abuse, or address serious violations of these Terms.
Your cards, notes, and progress
- You keep ownership of User Content that you create.
- You grant URflashcards a limited, non-exclusive permission to store, process, display, sync, back up, restore, and otherwise use User Content and Learning Data only as needed to operate, secure, support, and improve the Service.
- You are responsible for User Content you create, import, edit, or sync, including making sure you have any permissions needed to use it.
- Do not create, import, upload, or sync User Content that is unlawful, harmful, abusive, infringing, misleading, privacy-invasive, or designed to interfere with the Service or another person.
- Deleting an account removes cloud data controlled by URflashcards as described in the Privacy Policy. Local data may also need to be cleared from the device if you want to remove local-only data.
Monetization and app-store billing
- The free version may include limits, advertisements, or optional rewarded ads. URflashcards is designed so ads are not intentionally shown during active study or practice sessions.
- Because URflashcards is intended to be appropriate for a general audience, ad requests are configured for family-safe treatment and general-audience ad content. Personalized ad availability may therefore be limited even where a device or region would otherwise permit it.
- Rewarded ads may grant a temporary ad-free pass inside the app. Reward availability, fill rate, duration, and delivery depend on AdMob, consent status, device state, network availability, and app configuration. Rewards have no cash value and are not transferable.
- Ad-consent choices shown through Google’s User Messaging Platform are separate from accepting these Terms. Declining or withdrawing ad consent where available does not cancel your URflashcards account or your agreement to these Terms, but it may limit ad availability, personalized ads, or rewarded ad-free passes.
- Premium may remove ads or unlock additional limits or features depending on the offer shown in the Application or app store.
- Google Play or another supported app store displays the final price, billing period, renewal terms, taxes, trial details, cancellation rules, and refund rules before purchase.
- Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled through the store account that made the purchase. Uninstalling the Application, clearing local data, or deleting your URflashcards account does not cancel a store subscription. Google Play subscriptions can be managed through Google Play’s subscription center.
- RevenueCat is used to read, restore, and manage entitlement status. It does not replace the billing relationship between you and the app store.
- Where Google Play billing rules, app-store rules, or mandatory consumer laws provide rights that differ from these Terms, those rules apply to the purchase or billing issue.
Data rules connected to the Service
The Privacy Policy explains what information the Application and its providers access, collect, use, store, share, retain, and delete. It covers Firebase Authentication and Firestore, Firebase App Check, AdMob and UMP consent, RevenueCat, Google Play services, local notifications, speech features, local diagnostics, Cloud Sync, and account deletion.
If you use Cloud Sync, Learning Data and User Content may be stored in Firebase so progress can be backed up and restored. Cloud Sync may be limited to Premium users.
Account deletion is available inside the Application for signed-in users and through the public Account Deletion page. Provider records such as purchase, tax, fraud-prevention, ad, or platform logs may be retained by third-party providers according to their own policies and legal obligations.
Educational use and no guaranteed result
- URflashcards is an educational practice tool. It is not a school, exam authority, translator, legal adviser, medical adviser, immigration adviser, or professional certification service.
- Flashcards, predefined categories, translations, grammar notes, pronunciation hints, examples, text-to-speech output, speech-recognition results, SRS/FSRS scheduling, scores, streaks, and review estimates may contain errors, may be incomplete, or may not match a particular dialect, curriculum, test, teacher, country, or personal learning goal.
- The Service may help you practice, but we do not guarantee fluency, exam results, grades, employment results, immigration results, certifications, or any specific learning outcome.
- You should independently verify important translations, study material, exam requirements, or professional decisions before relying on them.
Microphone, speech recognition, and playback
Some features use your microphone, speech recognition, text-to-speech, and temporary local playback. These features depend on device permissions, operating-system speech services, browser services, network availability, supported languages, and third-party provider behavior.
You can choose not to use speech features, and you can revoke microphone permission in your device or browser settings. Speech tools may be unavailable, inaccurate, delayed, or different across devices and languages.
Rules for using the Service
- Use the Service only for lawful, personal learning, backup, restore, and related study purposes.
- Do not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, scrape, overload, attack, interfere with, or attempt to discover source code or bypass protections in the Application, cloud services, ads, purchases, entitlement systems, storage, or sync.
- Do not fake purchases, tamper with local Premium or ad-reward state, abuse Cloud Sync, misuse account deletion, create excessive accounts, or interfere with another user or provider.
- Do not use the Service to host public content, distribute spam, distribute harmful content, infringe rights, violate privacy, or conduct unlawful activity.
App materials and permitted use
The app design, interface, text, graphics, icons, images, animations, software code, generated content files, names, branding, and other materials in the Service are owned by us or used with permission from their owners.
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Service for personal learning. You may not copy, sell, publish, redistribute, or use app content or exported learning data for commercial or public resources unless we expressly allow it in writing or applicable law gives you that right.
Providers outside our control
The Service depends on third-party services including Firebase, Google Play services, AdMob, RevenueCat, app stores, sign-in providers, operating-system speech services, browser/device features, and email clients. These services are controlled by their own terms, privacy policies, availability, security, and technical behavior.
Third-party links, app-store pages, provider policies, advertisements, billing decisions, outages, refunds, and service changes are not controlled by URflashcards. We are not responsible for third-party content, actions, omissions, or availability.
How the Service may change
- The Service may be updated, corrected, redesigned, interrupted, limited, or discontinued in whole or in part.
- Features may vary by platform, device, operating system, language pair, account state, Premium state, network status, provider availability, and app-store requirements.
- We may provide support at support@urflashcards.com, but support response times and outcomes are not guaranteed.
Limits that apply where permitted by law
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. We do not promise that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, compatible with every device, or capable of producing any specific learning result.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, URflashcards is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or lost-profit damages, or for data loss, learning errors, device problems, provider outages, inaccurate content, ad content, app-store decisions, subscription-store decisions, or third-party service behavior.
Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot legally be limited, including mandatory consumer rights.
Updates and continued use
We may update these Terms to reflect app changes, provider requirements, legal requirements, security needs, product improvements, or clearer wording. The latest version will be posted on this page with a new date.
If the Application presents a new acceptance step for updated Terms or Privacy Policy, continuing past that step records your acceptance for that version. For changes that require renewed consent, the Application may ask you to accept the updated version before continuing to affected features. Continued use of the Service after updated Terms are posted or presented means you accept the updated Terms.
General legal provisions
- These Terms and the Privacy Policy form the agreement between you and URflashcards regarding use of the Service.
- If a provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
- Failure to enforce a provision does not waive that provision or any right.
- Where mandatory local law or app-store terms give you rights that cannot be waived, those rights remain unaffected.
