Terms of Service

1. Who we are

StoryHebrew is operated by Latitude Point Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales ("we", "us", or "our"). The Service is available at storyhebrew.com and related apps or home-screen installs.

By accessing or using StoryHebrew (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, you must not use the Service. We may update these Terms from time to time. We will change the "Last updated" date when we do. Continued use after a change means you accept the revised Terms.

2. The Service

StoryHebrew is an online Hebrew learning product. It includes graded stories, word-by-word help, vocabulary tools, audio, and related features. Some parts of the Service are available without an account. Others require an account or a paid Premium subscription.

3. Accounts

You can create an account with:

• Google: we receive the name, email address, and profile picture associated with your Google account.
• Email and password: you provide an email address, a password, and (where asked) a display name. We send a verification code to confirm the address. You can also request a password-reset link by email.

You must provide accurate details, keep them up to date, and keep your login details confidential. You are responsible for activity on your account.

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.

4. Subscriptions and payments

StoryHebrew has a free tier and paid Premium plans. Premium is billed by Polar, our merchant of record. Polar's terms apply to the payment. We license the Service to you under these Terms. We do not store your full payment card details.

By buying a subscription you agree that:

• You will pay the fees for the plan you choose, as shown at checkout.
• The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel before the next billing date.
• You can manage or cancel from your account, which uses Polar's customer portal.

Prices may change for future periods. A change will not affect a period you have already paid for.

Refunds are described in our Refund Policy. This is in addition to any rights you have under consumer law.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service unlawfully or in a way that harms others.
• Try to access accounts, systems, or data you are not allowed to use.
• Scrape, crawl, or use automated tools to copy stories, audio, translations, or other content without our written consent.
• Copy, redistribute, publicly display, or make derivative works from our content except as needed for your own personal study.
• Interfere with or overload the Service.
• Share, resell, or transfer your account or subscription.

6. Intellectual property

Stories, translations, audio, software, design, logos, and other material on the Service belong to Latitude Point Ltd or our licensors. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your own non-commercial learning. We do not grant you any other rights.

7. Your learning data

We store data you create by using the Service, such as saved words, reading progress, settings, and email preferences. You keep ownership of that personal learning data. You grant us a license to store, process, and display it so we can run and improve the Service, as described in our Privacy Policy.

8. Third-party services

The Service relies on third parties, including Polar (payments), Google (optional sign-in), and Supabase (accounts and database). Their terms and privacy notices also apply to what they do. We are not responsible for third-party sites we do not control.

9. Disclaimers

We work hard to keep StoryHebrew useful and accurate, but language learning is imperfect and content can contain errors. The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not promise uninterrupted, error-free, or fully secure access. Content is for learning; it is not a substitute for formal tuition, translation of legal documents, or professional advice.

Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have as a consumer under UK law that cannot be excluded, including the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

10. Limitation of liability

We do not exclude or limit liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that UK law does not allow us to exclude.

Subject to that, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, lost data, or loss of goodwill arising from your use of the Service, unauthorized access to our systems, or interruption of the Service. Our total liability for all claims connected with the Service is limited to the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the claim (or £50 if you have not paid us anything).

11. Termination

You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time by emailing us. We may suspend or end access if you break these Terms, if we have to for legal or security reasons, or if we shut the Service down. After termination, your right to use the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive (including intellectual property, disclaimers, liability, and this survival wording) remain in force.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, except that if you are a consumer living in Scotland or Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings in your local courts, and if you are a consumer living in the EEA you may also use the courts of your country of residence where the law gives you that right.
