Terms of Service

By downloading, installing, or using the Wordie iOS app ("Wordie", "the App"), you agree to the terms below. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. The App

Wordie is a vocabulary-learning app for iOS that uses your iPhone camera, on-device translation, and a cloud-based recognition call to help you build language flashcards. It is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind.

2. Your Account

Wordie does not require an account. Your Apple ID is used by Apple to manage subscriptions; we never receive your Apple ID, email, or payment details. You are responsible for keeping your device passcode secure.

3. Subscriptions

• Wordie offers an optional auto-renewing subscription called Wordie+, billed monthly or annually via Apple.
• The annual plan includes a 7-day free trial for first-time subscribers. The monthly plan includes a 3-day free trial.
• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase or at the end of any free-trial period.
• Your subscription renews automatically at the original price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Manage or cancel any time in iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to: reverse-engineer the App except as permitted by law; use the recognition feature to identify other people, faces, license plates, or anything that would violate someone else's privacy; attempt to disrupt Wordie's recognition API by submitting abusive traffic.

5. Intellectual Property

Wordie and its visual design, including the "W" wordmark, are owned by Mehmet Akduman. Cards you create belong to you and remain on your device.

6. Third-Party Services

Wordie sends a downscaled thumbnail of each capture to Google's Gemini Flash for one recognition call. Your use of Google's service is governed by Google's Gemini API Terms. You can disable cloud recognition in the App's Settings to use only Apple's on-device classifier.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Wordie shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the App. Recognition is statistical and can be wrong — verify important translations.

8. Changes

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be surfaced in the App. Continued use after a change indicates acceptance.
