These terms govern your use of the Voc'iz app. By creating an account, you accept them.
This is a translation. The French version is the authoritative one and prevails in case of discrepancy.
Voc'iz is published by NL-Development, a SARL with share capital of 5 000 €, trade register 981 011 315 R.C.S. Rouen, registered office 41 rue Rémy Sevestre, 76230 Bois-Guillaume, France ("the Publisher"). Full details are in the legal notice.

Voc'iz is a multi-language vocabulary learning app. It offers word translation sessions, tracks your progress, and provides social features letting you challenge friends individually or in groups.
The service is free. There are no purchases, no subscription and no advertising.
You must be 15 or over to create an account. That threshold is the age of digital consent in France.
You must provide a valid email address, which you confirm with a six-digit code. An account is personal: you are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activity carried out from your account. Tell us without delay if you suspect unauthorised access.
The Publisher grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable right of use, for strictly private purposes.
You may not: extract or reuse all or part of the vocabulary corpus for any purpose other than your own learning; copy, decompile or modify the app; access it through automated means or a modified client, in particular to distort a score or a ranking; or attempt to disrupt its operation.
The app, its visual design, the Voc'iz trade mark and the vocabulary corpus — the words, translations, examples and their organisation into domains and levels — belong to the Publisher and are protected by intellectual property law. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of them to you.
Your content means: your display name, the names of groups you create, the words you suggest and the mistake reports you write.
You undertake that they are not unlawful, abusive, defamatory or indecent, and that they contain no third party's personal data and no promotional links. A group's name is visible to all of its members: choose it accordingly.
Word suggestions. When you suggest a missing word, your submission is reviewed by the Publisher and, if accepted, added to the app's corpus and recorded in the code repository that is its source. For that purpose you grant the Publisher, free of charge, a non-exclusive, worldwide, transferable licence for the legal term of protection, to use, reproduce, adapt, translate and distribute that submission within the app and its corpus. You warrant that you are entitled to grant this licence. An accepted submission becomes inseparable from the corpus: it can no longer be withdrawn at your request.
Challenges, groups and friend lists expose your display name, your picture if you have one, your scores and your times to your friends. Your email address is never disclosed to other users.
When you invite someone by entering their email address, you declare that you know that person personally and are sending a personal invitation, to the exclusion of any commercial or bulk solicitation. Invitations are capped and carry an opt-out link; the details are in the privacy policy. Misuse of this feature justifies suspension of the account.
Notifications. If you allow them, the app sends you a notification when someone sends you a friend request or challenges you. These notifications are service-related only: we never use them for advertising or promotion. You may decline them when asked, or turn them off at any time in your phone's settings, without restricting your use of the app. Their delivery depends on your operating system and is therefore not guaranteed.
The corpus is built with care, supplemented by automated tools and corrected as reports come in. The Publisher does not warrant the accuracy, completeness or contextual appropriateness of the translations and examples offered. Voc'iz is a practice tool: it replaces neither a dictionary, nor a teacher, nor a professional translation, and must not be relied on where an error would have consequences.
A report button sits on every card: using it is the fastest way to get a mistake fixed.
The Publisher endeavours to keep the app accessible, without being bound to do so continuously. The service may be interrupted for maintenance or updates, or by an external cause (host or network failure, force majeure). It may also change: features may be added, modified or removed.
The Publisher is liable for direct damage resulting from a failure to meet its obligations. Its liability cannot be excluded in cases of personal injury, gross negligence or wilful misconduct, in accordance with French law.
It is not, however, liable for indirect damage, for the consequences of using the app contrary to these terms, or for data loss resulting from your own deletion of your account.
By you: you may delete your account at any time from the Profile tab, without reason or notice. The effects of deletion are described in the privacy policy.
By the Publisher: in the event of a breach of these terms — in particular unlawful content, misuse of invitations, or an attempt to distort rankings — the account may be suspended and then terminated. Save in an emergency or in cases of manifest illegality, you will be informed beforehand and may submit your observations to [email protected].
These terms may be amended. Any substantial change will be signalled in the app before it takes effect. If you do not accept it, you should stop using the app and delete your account.
These terms are governed by French law.
If a problem arises, please first send a complaint to [email protected]: most disputes are settled that way.
Failing an amicable solution, if you are a consumer you may refer the matter free of charge to a consumer mediator within one year of your written complaint, in accordance with Article L.612-1 of the French Consumer Code.
Failing agreement, the dispute will be brought before the competent courts. If you are a consumer, you retain the right to bring proceedings either before the court of the place where you resided when the contract was concluded, or before that of the place of the harmful event.
The following applies where you obtained Voc'iz through Apple's App Store. As between you and Apple, it prevails over any conflicting provision of these terms.
