Terms of Use

Last updated: October 7, 2026 / Effective: October 7, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the French Conversation iOS application (the "App"), which is provided by its developer ("Developer", "we", or "us"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you (the "User") agree to be bound by these Terms.

These Terms are the English translation of the original Japanese version. In the event of any inconsistency between the Japanese and English versions, the Japanese version shall prevail.

1. Scope

  1. These Terms set out the conditions for the provision of the App and the rights and obligations between you and the Developer concerning your use of the App.
  2. Any guidelines, notices, or supplementary terms posted by the Developer within the App or on related websites form part of these Terms.
  3. If there is any conflict between these Terms and such guidelines, these Terms will prevail unless expressly stated otherwise.
  4. The App is distributed via Apple Inc.'s ("Apple") App Store, and your use of the App is also subject to Apple's "Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions" ("Apple Terms"). In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Apple Terms, the Apple Terms will prevail with respect to the matters covered therein.

2. The App

  1. The App helps you learn conversational French for travel. It offers lessons, practice cards, tests, and spoken French played back using the speech synthesis built into iOS. The specific functionality, specifications, and form of the App may be determined and modified by the Developer from time to time.
  2. Some or all features of the App may vary depending on the App version, operating system version, device, region, language settings, and other factors. Spoken audio is generated by your device's speech synthesis, and its pronunciation and intonation may vary by device and OS version.
  3. The App does not guarantee that you will reach any particular level of proficiency, pass any examination, be understood while traveling, or achieve any other specific outcome. Results vary from person to person.

3. Use of Content

  1. The lessons, example sentences, translations, explanations, illustrations, audio, and all other materials provided in the App ("Content") are works owned by the Developer or its rights holders and may be used only for your personal study.
  2. You may not use the Content beyond your personal study without our prior permission, including by copying it and distributing, transmitting, or selling it to others, or posting it on the internet.
  3. The Developer may change, add to, or remove any Content without prior notice to you.

4. No Account; Data Storage

The App can be used without account registration or sign-in. Your study progress, profile answers, settings, and other data are stored only on your device and are not transmitted to any server operated by us. You acknowledge that such data may be lost if your device is lost, reset, or replaced, or if you delete the App, and that we cannot recover it.

5. Fees (One-Time Purchase)

  1. Some sections of the App are available free of charge. You are responsible for any data, device, and other costs associated with your use of the App.
  2. The App offers a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase that unlocks Content beyond the free sections (the "Purchase"). The Purchase is not a subscription; it does not renew automatically and you will not be charged on a recurring basis.
  3. The price of the Purchase is the price shown on the purchase screen in the App and on the App Store at the time of purchase, and is charged through your Apple ID. Payment is processed by Apple; we do not receive your credit card number or other payment details. The Purchase is subject to the Apple Terms and the App Store's purchase processes.
  4. You can restore the Purchase on devices signed in with the same Apple ID by using "Restore Purchases" in the App's menu.
  5. Refunds for the Purchase are decided and handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's refund policies and procedures. We cannot issue refunds directly.

6. Nature of the Purchase and Discontinuation

  1. The Purchase grants you a right to use the App and its Content in accordance with these Terms (the "Right of Use"). It is not a purchase of the Content itself. The Purchase does not transfer to you ownership of, copyright in, or any other rights to the Content.
  2. The Developer may change which parts of the App are free and which require the Purchase. As set out in Section 3.3, the Developer may also change, add to, or remove Content.
  3. Even after you have made the Purchase, the App or its Content may become unavailable if the App is removed from the App Store, if distribution or provision of the App ends, or for other reasons. This includes cases where, after reinstalling the App, changing devices, or updating your operating system, you are unable to obtain the App or it no longer works properly.
  4. If the App or its Content becomes unavailable for any of the reasons described in this Section, the Developer has no obligation to refund the price of the Purchase or provide any other compensation, except as required by applicable law.
  5. This Section does not apply where the unavailability results from the Developer's willful misconduct or gross negligence. If you are a consumer under the Japanese Consumer Contract Act, any part of this Section that is invalid under that Act will not apply.

7. License

  1. Subject to these Terms, the Developer grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on iOS devices for your personal, non-commercial purposes.
  2. All intellectual property rights in and to the App, including the Content, belong to the Developer or its respective rights holders. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, no rights to the App or the Content are transferred to you.
  3. You shall not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, create derivative works of, redistribute, rent, lease, sublicense, or transfer the App or any part of it, except to the extent such restrictions are prohibited by applicable law.

8. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

  1. violate any applicable law, regulation, or public order and morals;
  2. engage in conduct related to criminal activity;
  3. violate the terms of use of the Content set out in Section 3;
  4. infringe the intellectual property rights, portrait rights, privacy, honor, or other rights or interests of the Developer, other users, or third parties;
  5. interfere with the operation of the App, or probe or exploit security vulnerabilities;
  6. unlawfully obtain, analyze, or use the App's source code or communications;
  7. circumvent the Purchase mechanism or access paid Content by unauthorized means;
  8. manipulate the App's contents, reviews, ratings, or rankings by unfair means;
  9. use the App for any commercial purpose without our prior written consent;
  10. engage in any other conduct that the Developer reasonably deems inappropriate.

9. Suspension, Modification, and Discontinuation

  1. The Developer may suspend or interrupt the provision of all or part of the App, without prior notice to you, in any of the following situations:
    1. maintenance, updates, inspection, or repair of the App;
    2. earthquakes, lightning, fire, power outages, natural disasters, war, terrorism, epidemics, or other events of force majeure;
    3. failure of computers or communication lines due to accidents;
    4. other circumstances under which the Developer reasonably determines that providing the App is impracticable.
  2. The Developer is not liable for any disadvantage or damage incurred by you or any third party as a result of such suspension or interruption, except in cases of willful misconduct or gross negligence by the Developer.
  3. The Developer may modify the contents of the App without prior notice to you.
  4. The Developer may discontinue the App with reasonable prior notice (typically 30 days). Where unavoidable circumstances exist, this notice period may be shortened. The treatment of the Purchase upon discontinuation is governed by Section 6.

10. Use Restrictions

The Developer may, without prior notice, restrict your use of all or part of the App if:

  1. you violate any provision of these Terms;
  2. the Developer reasonably determines that your conduct is likely to cause harm to the Developer, other users, or third parties;
  3. the Developer otherwise reasonably determines that your use of the App is inappropriate.

11. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

  1. The App is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Developer disclaims all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including without limitation warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, reliability, security, non-infringement, and absence of errors or bugs.
  2. While we strive to keep the Content accurate, we do not warrant that example sentences, translations, explanations, or spoken audio are correct in every situation or that they will be understood while you travel.
  3. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Developer will not be liable to you for any damages arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the App, except in the following cases:
    1. damages arising from the Developer's willful misconduct or gross negligence;
    2. cases in which liability cannot be excluded under applicable mandatory law.
  4. Even in cases where the Developer is liable under the preceding paragraph, the Developer's liability is limited to direct and actual damages ordinarily arising, and the aggregate amount of liability shall not exceed the amount you paid for the Purchase (or zero, if you have used only the free sections). Nothing in this paragraph limits liability for willful misconduct, gross negligence, or any other liability that cannot be limited under applicable law (including, where applicable, the Japanese Consumer Contract Act).
  5. The Developer is not liable for any transactions, communications, or disputes between you and any other user or third party in connection with the App.

12. Third-Party Services

  1. The App uses third-party services such as Firebase, provided by Google LLC, for analytics, and RevenueCat for purchase management (see the Privacy Policy for details). Your use of such services is subject to the respective providers' terms and privacy policies.
  2. The App may contain links to third-party websites or services (including our support form). The Developer is not responsible for the content of such third-party sites or services.

13. Privacy

Information collected in connection with your use of the App is handled in accordance with our separate Privacy Policy. By agreeing to these Terms, you also agree to the Privacy Policy.

14. Changes to These Terms

  1. On the premise that these Terms constitute a standard-form contract (teikei yakkan) under the Japanese Civil Code, the Developer may amend these Terms without obtaining your individual consent, in accordance with Article 548-4 of the Civil Code, where:
    1. the amendment conforms to the general interests of users; or
    2. the amendment does not contradict the purpose for which the App is provided and is reasonable in light of the necessity for the amendment, the appropriateness of its content, and other relevant circumstances.
  2. For any amendment other than one that conforms to the general interests of users, the Developer will set an effective date and, before that date arrives, will notify users of the fact of the amendment, its content, and its effective date through in-app notices, postings on the website, or other appropriate means. An amendment that conforms to the general interests of users takes effect when posted on this page.
  3. If you continue to use the App after the amended Terms take effect, you are deemed to have agreed to the amended Terms.

15. Contact

All inquiries and communications regarding the App should be sent to:

16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

  1. These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
  2. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with the App or these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tokyo Summary Court or the Tokyo District Court as the court of first instance, depending on the amount in controversy. The foregoing does not affect any non-waivable rights of consumers under applicable law to bring an action in their place of residence.

17. Apple End User License Provisions

Because the App is distributed via Apple's App Store, the following additional terms apply:

  1. These Terms are concluded between you and the Developer only, and not with Apple. The Developer, not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its contents.
  2. These Terms apply to the extent they are not inconsistent with Apple's applicable terms for the App Store. To the extent of any conflict, Apple's applicable terms will prevail.
  3. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the App.
  4. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession or use of the App, including but not limited to (i) product liability claims, (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
  5. In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession or use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, the Developer, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.
  6. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple has the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
  7. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms or any part of any provision is held to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law (including the Japanese Consumer Contract Act), the remaining provisions and remaining parts of the affected provision shall continue in full force and effect.

These Terms are provided by the Developer for general informational purposes and are not a substitute for individualized legal advice.
