Terms of Use

Effective date: 2026-10-02 · Version 2

The QuizRead apps and website (the "Service") are a hosted service for learning a foreign language by reading, operated by an individual established in Türkiye. The QuizRead apps are published per reading language — for example QuizRead English and QuizRead Deutsch. All use of the Service is subject to these Terms of Use (the "Terms") and, incorporated by reference, to our Privacy Policy. By using the Service you accept these Terms.

1. Eligibility

Use of the Service is void where prohibited.

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. We do not offer a restricted experience or a separate child account for children under 13; because we do not ask for a date of birth, we do not verify your age.

• If you are under 18, you may use the Service only with the knowledge of a parent or legal guardian, and you represent that they have reviewed these Terms.
• If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or a country where the digital age of consent is higher, and you are under 16, your parent or guardian must consent to your use of the Service and to the processing described in the Privacy Policy.
• We do not knowingly allow anyone under 13 to use the Service. If we learn that an account belongs to a child under 13, we close it and delete the related data.

By using the Service you represent and warrant that your use of the Service does not violate any law that applies to you.

2. Your QuizRead account

When you first open a QuizRead app, a guest account is created for you on that device. You can sign in with Apple or Google at any time to keep your library, dictionary and progress across devices; a guest account that is not used for 60 days is deleted, as described in the Privacy Policy. QuizRead has no passwords of its own: the security of your account depends on the security of your Apple or Google account and of your device, and all activity under your account is yours.

Accounts are individual and used by a single person. You may not share, transfer or sell your account. If you notice unauthorised use of your account or any other breach of security, you must report it immediately to security@quizneu.com.

We are not liable for damage arising from your own acts and omissions. We may take the measures we reasonably consider necessary to operate the Service, including the usage limits described in section 3.

3. Subscriptions and payments

The Service has a free plan and a paid plan, QuizRead Plus. The features and limits of each are shown in the app before you buy.

• Per app. Each QuizRead app has its own plan. A subscription bought in one app — QuizRead English, for example — does not unlock another QuizRead app.
• The free plan includes, per app, a limited number of translations and of readings aloud per day, a limited number of your own texts, dictionary words and decks, and a limited number of study sessions per day; the current limits are shown in the app. Daily limits reset at 00:00 UTC. Unused allowance does not carry over. Some catalogue readings and books, full-page translation and reading a whole text aloud are available only with Plus.
• Where payment happens. Plus is sold through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Those stores are the seller and the payment institution; we never see or store your card details. Your purchase is also subject to that store's own terms.
• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. The renewal charge is taken from your store account.
• Free trial. Some plans start with a free trial; its length is shown at the time of purchase. The store grants one trial per Apple or Google account per product — if you have used it before, no trial is given and you are charged directly. At the end of the trial the subscription turns into a paid one automatically; if you do not want that, cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends.
• Cancellation. You can cancel your subscription at any time from the subscriptions section of your Apple or Google account settings. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep Plus until the end of the period already paid for, after which the app returns to the free plan. Deleting your account does not cancel your subscription — it stays at the store and continues to be charged until it is cancelled there.
• Restoring purchases. If you reinstall the app or change device, use "Restore purchases" in the app with the same Apple or Google store account.
• Termination by us. We may terminate a paid plan if you breach these Terms, where the law requires it, or if we withdraw the plan entirely. Because we do not hold your money, we cannot issue a refund ourselves — if the termination was for a reason other than your breach, write to support@quizneu.com; we will confirm the position to the store and you can claim the unused period from them. If we close your account for breach of these Terms, we have no obligation to support a refund of amounts already paid, except where consumer law requires it.
• Refunds — who refunds the money. The store you bought from is the seller and holds the money; we have no ability to charge you or to refund you. Every refund request therefore goes to Apple or Google and they decide — through "Report a Problem" on the App Store, or through order history on Google Play. If the store refuses your request and you believe you are entitled, write to support@quizneu.com; we cannot move money, but we can confirm what we see on your account and support your request with the store.
• When a refund goes through, the store tells us and Plus ends immediately, even if the period you paid for had time left. If the store later reverses the refund, Plus comes back.
• Your statutory rights. Except where the law requires otherwise, purchases are not refundable. If the consumer law of your country gives you a non-waivable right to cancel, withdraw or obtain a refund, that right applies in full — exercise it through the store.
• When we do not refund. A later price drop, a promotion we run afterwards, or a change to the plan that does not materially reduce what you paid for.
• Price and plan changes. Prices are set in the store. We may change prices or the scope of a plan. We give notice in advance; a price change takes effect at your next renewal and, where the store or the law requires it, only with your agreement. If you do not accept it, you can cancel before that date.
• Fair use. Plus is for your personal reading. We may apply reasonable technical limits to protect the Service — for example on the amount of new audio generated for one account in a day — and may suspend features in case of abuse or automated use.

4. Our content

The readings, books, quizzes, audio, translations, illustrations and other material we make available in the Service ("Our Content") are owned by us or used under licence, or are in the public domain. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Our Content within the Service for your own, non-commercial language learning. You may not copy, download outside the features the Service provides, extract, republish, sell or otherwise make available Our Content, or use it to build a competing product or to train a machine-learning model.

5. Your texts and other content

You can add your own texts to the Service by pasting them or uploading a plain-text file, and you create other content as you use it: dictionary entries, notes, decks, reports and messages to us (together with your texts, "Your Content"). You are entirely responsible for Your Content and for any harm it may cause us or third parties.

Your own texts are private: they are shown only to you, in the app you added them to, and are never published to other users. Features such as translation and reading aloud process Your Content automatically; how that processing works, and which providers receive the text, is explained in the Privacy Policy.

6. Prohibited content

You may add only Content you have the right to use for your own language learning. We reserve the right to investigate anyone we consider to be in breach of this provision and to pursue legal remedies against them, including removing Content, restricting access to any part of the Service and closing the account.

Prohibited Content includes, but is not limited to, Content that:

• infringes anyone's copyright, trademark, privacy, personality, contractual or other rights, including an unlawful or unauthorised copy of another person's copyrighted work;
• contains another person's personal information shared without that person's permission, or information that creates a privacy or security risk for anyone;
• exploits people sexually, including any material sexualising minors, or is otherwise unlawful;
• is abusive, threatening, defamatory, or promotes hatred or physical harm against any group or individual, in reports and messages to us as well;
• contains malware or other harmful code;
• violates applicable law.

7. Prohibited activities

While using the Service you may engage only in activities related to your own language learning. We reserve the right to investigate anyone we consider to be in breach of this provision and to pursue legal remedies against them, including closing your account or ending your access to the Service, reporting to the competent authorities where the law requires or permits it, and seeking other legal remedies.

Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:

• circumventing or modifying, or attempting to circumvent or modify, any security technology, plan limit or paywall that is part of the Service, or encouraging or assisting others to do so;
• creating guest accounts, reinstalling the app or using several devices or accounts in order to evade the free plan's limits;
• impersonating, or attempting to impersonate, another user, person or organisation;
• using another person's account, or allowing a third party to access your account;
• activity involving viruses, bots, worms or other code, files or programs that interrupt or limit the functioning of software or hardware, or that gain unauthorised access to a network;
• any automated use of the Service, including scraping or otherwise extracting the Service, Our Content or translations by automated means;
• interfering with, disrupting or creating an undue load on the Service or the networks it depends on; attempting to exceed rate limits;
• reproducing, copying, selling, reselling, trading or otherwise exploiting for commercial purposes any part of Our Content or of the functionality offered through the Service, unless expressly permitted by a separate agreement;
• using the Service in a way that does not comply with applicable law.

8. Your representations and warranties about content

By adding Your Content, you represent and warrant that:

• you own Your Content or have the right to use it for your own language learning in the way the Service processes it, and doing so does not infringe any third party's copyright, patent, trademark, trade-secret, privacy or personality rights;
• you have complied with all third-party licences relating to Your Content; and
• Your Content does not contain or install any virus, worm, malware, trojan horse or other harmful or destructive material.

9. The licence you grant us

Your Content is yours. These Terms do not transfer ownership of Your Content to us.

You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, process, translate, convert to speech and display Your Content only as needed to provide the Service to you — to keep it in your account, to show it to you, to translate it and read it aloud when you ask, and to keep backups. We may sublicense these rights, to the extent needed for that purpose, to the providers that run the Service on our behalf and that are described in the Privacy Policy. This licence ends when Your Content is deleted from the Service, subject to the backup periods in the Privacy Policy.

When you send us a report, a request, a suggestion or another message, you also allow us to use it to answer you, to correct Our Content and to improve the Service, without any obligation to you.

Your rights of erasure and objection under applicable law are unaffected; you can exercise them as described in the Privacy Policy.

10. Content on other websites

We have not reviewed and cannot review the content of websites we link to or that link to us. We have no control over third-party websites and are not responsible for their content or for your use of them. Linking to a third-party site does not mean we endorse it.

11. Copyright infringement

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that material in the Service infringes your copyright, write to support@quizneu.com with: a description of the work, where the material is in the Service, your contact details, a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised, and a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner of the right or authorised to act for them. We respond to notices as necessary or appropriate, including by removing the material.

If a user infringes our or others' copyright or other intellectual property rights once or repeatedly, we may at our discretion block their access to the Service or close their account. On such a termination we have no obligation to support a refund of amounts already paid, except where consumer law requires it.

12. Trademarks

The QuizRead name, the QuizRead mark and logo, and the other trademarks, service marks, graphics and logos used in connection with the Service belong to us or to our licensors. Other marks, graphics and logos used in connection with the Service may belong to third parties.

Your use of the Service grants you no right or licence to reproduce or otherwise use our or third parties' trademarks. Audio and software accessed through the Service may not be sold, distributed or offered to others as a service.

13. Changes to the Service and to these Terms

We may change the Service — including Our Content, the features of each plan, our policies and these Terms — at our discretion. We may also stop offering an app or a reading language, giving reasonable notice where you have an active subscription in it.

When we make a material change to the Terms we update the effective date at the top of the page and notify you in the app. Continuing to use the Service after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept them, you can delete your account and stop using the Service.

14. Limitation of our warranties

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED OTHERWISE, THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". WE, OUR SUPPLIERS AND OUR LICENSORS MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE OR SECURE; THAT TRANSLATIONS, DEFINITIONS, LEVELS OR AUDIO WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE; OR THAT YOUR LEARNING GOALS OR EXAM RESULTS WILL BE ACHIEVED.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU USE THE SERVICE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK, AND THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE OR YOUR DATA RESULTING FROM USING THE SERVICE.

BECAUSE SOME COUNTRIES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION AFFECTS THE STATUTORY RIGHTS YOU HAVE AS A CONSUMER, WHICH CANNOT BE EXCLUDED.

15. Limitation of our liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE, OUR SUPPLIERS AND OUR LICENSORS ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE USE OF THE SERVICE, OF THE CONTENT HERE OR OF A LINKED WEBSITE — INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF REPUTATION OR LOSS OF LEARNING PROGRESS — WHATEVER THE BASIS OR NATURE OF THE CLAIM, AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL YOUR CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR CONNECTED WITH THE USE OF THE SERVICE, THE CONTENT HERE OR A LINKED WEBSITE SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE DATE THE CLAIM WAS RAISED. IF YOU USE THE SERVICE FREE OF CHARGE, THAT AMOUNT IS ZERO.

This section does not cover liability for death or personal injury, liability arising from our intent or gross negligence, or liability that cannot be limited under mandatory consumer law. Because some countries do not allow the limitation of incidental or consequential damages, some of the above may not apply to you.

The parties agree that this section reflects a reasonable allocation of risk between them.

16. Dispute resolution

Write to us first. Before starting any formal process, contact support@quizneu.com with "Dispute Notice" in the subject line. In your notice, state your name, the email address linked to your account (or, for a guest account, the app and device you use), the nature of the dispute, what you believe caused it, and what you want us to do. Give us 30 days to resolve it. Most problems are settled this way, at no cost to either side.

Governing law and competent courts. These Terms are governed by the law of Türkiye, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The courts of Türkiye have jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer, this provision does not deprive you of the protection given to you by the mandatory rules of the country where you live, and you may bring proceedings there:

• Türkiye — you may apply to the Consumer Arbitration Committee (Tüketici Hakem Heyeti) or the Consumer Court (Tüketici Mahkemesi) of your place of residence.
• EU/EEA — you may take the matter to a consumer alternative dispute resolution body in your country.

Nothing here prevents either party from seeking interim relief or from bringing proceedings before a competent court for intellectual property infringement.

17. Automated features

Parts of the Service are automated: words and passages are translated by machine translation, text may be read aloud by generated or device voices, your reading level may be estimated from a level test, and readings are ranked for you in Discover.

• Automated output can be wrong. Translations, definitions, example sentences, pronunciations and generated audio are learning aids, not a definitive source. Verify anything that matters — especially in legal, medical, financial and exam contexts.
• Third-party processing. Text you select for translation or reading aloud — including text from your own texts — is passed to the provider categories listed in the Privacy Policy so the feature can work.
• Recommendations. We rank readings from your level and your activity. This is explained in the Privacy Policy and produces no decision that has legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
• Reporting mistakes. If you find a mistake in a reading, a translation or a quiz question, use the report function in the app.

18. Suspension and termination

If we reasonably believe that you have breached these Terms or the law, or if it is necessary to protect users or the Service, we may remove Your Content, restrict features, issue a warning, suspend your account or close it. Where legally possible and practicable, we tell you the reason and how to appeal.

• Appeal. If you believe a decision is wrong, write to us from Support in the app or at support@quizneu.com. We review appeals and reverse our mistakes.
• We may investigate suspected breaches; where the law requires or permits it, we may report unlawful activity to the competent authorities and pursue any other legal remedy open to us.

If we close your account for breach of these Terms, we have no obligation to support a refund of amounts already paid, except where consumer law requires it.

You can stop using the Service at any time and delete your account from the app's settings.

19. Deleting your account

You can delete your account in the app's settings; for your security you are asked to confirm with Apple or Google first. If you cannot use the app, you can ask us to delete it through the account deletion form on our website or at privacy@quizneu.com.

• Your sessions end immediately. The deletion becomes final 30 days later. If you sign in again with the same Apple or Google account within those 30 days, the deletion is cancelled and everything is as you left it.
• When it is final, your name and email address are removed and your library, dictionary, decks, own texts, reading and study history, statistics and settings are erased. This cannot be undone, and we cannot restore your data from backups.
• The same Apple or Google account cannot be used again. After a final deletion, we keep the identifier Apple or Google gave us for that account, without your email address or name, and that account can no longer sign in to QuizRead. Write to support@quizneu.com if you want to use QuizRead again with it.
• Your subscription. Deleting the account does not cancel your subscription at the store. To stop being charged you must cancel it separately in your Apple or Google account settings.

A guest account's data can be deleted in the app's settings at any time; it is erased immediately. Details of what is kept in anonymised form, and for how long backups keep deleted data, are in the Privacy Policy.

20. Your general representation and warranty

You represent and warrant that your use of the Service will comply with our Privacy Policy, with these Terms, and with all applicable law on online conduct and acceptable content — including the local rules in your country, your city or the administrative area where you are.

21. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless us, our suppliers, our licensors and their directors, employees and agents against all claims, damages and costs — including reasonable legal fees — arising from Your Content, from your use of the Service in breach of these Terms or from your breach of any representation or warranty you gave in these Terms.

This obligation applies to the extent permitted by the mandatory provisions of consumer law.

22. Apps downloaded from the Apple App Store

If you downloaded a QuizRead app from the Apple App Store, the following also applies:

• These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the app and its content.
• Your licence to use the app is limited to a non-transferable licence to use it on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the app may be accessed by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for any maintenance and support of the app. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services for it.
• If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app to you, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app; any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility, to the extent they are not excluded by these Terms.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the app or your possession and use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation.
• If a third party claims that the app or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.
• You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a United States Government embargo or that has been designated by the United States Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any United States Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Our contact details for questions, complaints or claims about the app are in section 24.
• You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the app.
• Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

23. Other provisions

• Severability. If a provision is held invalid or unenforceable, it is interpreted, to the extent the law allows, as closely as possible to the parties' original intent, and the rest of the Terms remain in full force.
• No waiver. Not exercising a right immediately is not a waiver of that right; forgiving one breach is not forgiving later ones.
• Assignment. You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our consent. We may assign our rights to a successor of the Service, on notice and without reducing your rights. The Terms bind the parties, their successors and permitted assignees.
• Survival. Provisions that by their nature should survive — your representations and warranties about content, the licences in these Terms, intellectual property, the limitations of our warranties and of our liability, indemnity and dispute resolution — continue to apply after you close your account or stop using the Service.
• Feedback. If you send us a suggestion, bug report or idea about the Service, we may use it freely, without any obligation to you and without payment.
• Events outside our control. We are not liable for interruptions and delays caused by something outside our reasonable control — a hosting, network or provider failure, a power or internet outage, a strike, a natural disaster, war, or an administrative or judicial decision.
• Keep your own copies. Keep your own copy of any text you add to the Service. Content you delete is permanently removed, and we do not undertake to restore data from backups.
• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, form the entire agreement between us regarding the Service.

24. Contact

For copyright notices use support@quizneu.com as described in section 11, for security vulnerability reports use security@quizneu.com, and for requests about your personal data use privacy@quizneu.com.

These Terms were drawn up in Turkish; the texts in other languages are translations provided for convenience. In the event of a discrepancy between the translations, the Turkish text prevails. This provision does not remove any protection afforded to you by the mandatory law of the country where you are.
