About these terms
These terms are an agreement between you and Kilian Baier & Fabian Baier (“we”, “us”), the operators of the Aloud app. By using the app you agree to them. If you downloaded the app from Apple’s App Store, Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies; where the two differ, these terms take precedence to the extent that agreement allows.
The app
Aloud is a speaking and knowledge trainer: you get a topic, prepare, speak about it, and answer a short quiz. The topics, questions and explanations are written for practice. We try to keep them accurate, but we cannot guarantee that every fact is complete or current, and they are not professional advice.
Your account
An account is created for you when you first open the app. You are responsible for what happens under it. You may delete it at any time in Settings → Delete account, which also deletes your data as described in our Privacy Policy. Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription; cancel that in your store account first.
Aloud Pro
Without a subscription you can play the daily topic once a day. Aloud Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, offered monthly or yearly, that unlocks every topic and unlimited rounds. The price and period are shown in the app before you buy.
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account when you confirm the purchase, or when a free trial ends.
- Renewal: the subscription renews automatically for the same period and price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends.
- Free trial: if a plan comes with a free trial, you are charged when the trial ends unless you cancel before then. Any unused part of a trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
- Cancelling: manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store or Google Play account settings. You keep Pro until the end of the period you have paid for.
- Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies; we cannot issue them ourselves.
- Restoring: if you reinstall the app or change phones, use “Restore” on the subscription screen to get Pro back.
Fair use
Your display name is shown to other players on the leaderboard. Do not choose one that is offensive, impersonates someone else, or infringes anyone’s rights. Do not try to manipulate scores, interfere with the app or its servers, or access other players’ data. If you do, we may rename, reset or remove your account.
Our content
The app, its design, topics and questions belong to us. You may use them within the app for your own practice, but not copy or redistribute them. What you say in a round stays yours.
Availability and liability
We work to keep Aloud running, but we cannot promise it will always be available or free of errors, and we may change or discontinue features.
We are liable without limitation for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, and for injury to life, body or health. Otherwise, to the extent permitted by law, our liability is excluded. Nothing in these terms limits your statutory rights as a consumer.
Changes
We may update these terms. If a change matters, we will let you know in the app before it takes effect. If you keep using the app afterwards, the new terms apply.
Law and contact
These terms are governed by Austrian law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, this does not take away the protection of the mandatory laws of the country you live in.
