3. Rights We Grant You

Company grants you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable, nonexclusive, revocable, and non-sublicensable license to access and use the Services. This license is for the sole purpose of letting you use and enjoy the Service's benefits in a way that these Terms and our usage policies, such as our Community Guidelines, allow.

Therefore, you agree not to:

•             use the Service or any content contained in the Service for any commercial purposes without our written consent.
•             copy, modify, transmit, create any derivative works from, make use of, or reproduce in any way any copyrighted material, images, trademarks, trade names, service marks, or other intellectual property, content, or proprietary information accessible through the Service without our prior written consent.

4. Rights You Grant Us

Many of our Services let you make calls, create, upload, post, send, receive, and store content. When you do that, you retain whatever ownership rights in that content you had to begin with. But you grant us a license to use that content. How broad that license is depends on which Services you use and the Settings you have selected.

For all Services, you grant the Company a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, use, display, reproduce, modify, adapt, edit, publish, and distribute that content. This license is for the limited purpose of operating, developing, providing, promoting, and improving the Services and researching and developing new ones.

Because Services are inherently public and chronicle matters of public interest, the license you grant us for content submitted to those Services is broader. In addition to granting us the rights mentioned in the previous paragraph, you also grant us a perpetual license to create derivative works from, promote, exhibit, broadcast, syndicate, sublicense, publicly perform, and publicly display content submitted to Services in any form and in any media or distribution methods (now known or later developed). To the extent it's necessary when you appear in, create, upload, post, or send content, you also grant the Company and our business partners the unrestricted, worldwide, perpetual right and license to use your nickname, likeness, and voice. This means, among other things, that you will not be entitled to any compensation from the Company or our business partners if your nickname, likeness, or voice is conveyed through Services, either on the Lingus AI: Language Learning application or on one of our business partner's platforms.

For more information about how to tailor who can watch your content, please take a look at our Privacy Policy.

We may record your conversations for safety and quality reasons, in particular to learn how you use the app and make your usage experience better.

While we're not required to do so, we may access, review, screen, and delete your content at any time and for any reason, including if we think your content violates these Terms. You alone, though, remain responsible for the content you create, upload, post, send, or store through the Service

The Services may contain advertisements. In consideration of the Company letting you access and use the Services, you agree that we, our affiliates, and our third-party partners may place advertising on the Services. Because the Services contain content that you and other users provide us, advertising may sometimes appear near your content.

We always love to hear from our users. But if you volunteer feedback or suggestions, just know that we can use your ideas without compensating you.

5. The Content of Others

Much of the content on our Services is produced by users, publishers, and other third parties. Whether that content is posted publicly or sent privately, the content is the sole responsibility of the person or organization that submitted it. Although the Company reserves the right to review all content that appears on the Services and to remove any content that violates these Terms, we do not necessarily review all of it. So we cannot—and do not—take responsibility for any content that others provide through the Services.

Through these Terms and our Community Guidelines, we make clear that we do not want the Services put to bad use. However because we do not review all content, we cannot guarantee that content on the Services will always conform to our Terms or Guidelines.

6. Privacy

Your privacy matters to us. You can learn how we handle your information when you use our Services by reading our Privacy Policy. We encourage you to give the Privacy Policy a careful look because, by using our Services, you agree that the Company can collect, use, and transfer your information consistent with that policy.

7. Respecting Other People's Rights

The company respects the rights of others. And so should you. You therefore may not upload, post, send, or store content that:

•             violates or infringes someone else's rights of publicity, privacy, copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights.
•             bullies, harasses, or intimidates.
•             defames.
•             spams or solicits our users.
•             spam, solicit money from, or defraud any users.
•             use another user’s account, share an account with another user, or maintain more than one account.
•             create another account if we have already terminated your account unless you have our permission.
•             post any Content that violates or infringes anyone’s rights, including rights of publicity, privacy, copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property or contract rights.
•             post any Content that is hate speech, threatening, sexually explicit, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence.
•             post any Content that promotes racism, bigotry, hatred, or physical harm of any kind against any group or individual.
•             solicit passwords for any purpose, or personal identifying information for commercial or unlawful purposes from other users, or disseminate another person’s personal information without his or her permission.
•             impersonate any person or entity or post any images of another person without his or her permission.
•             use the Service for any purpose that is illegal or prohibited by this Agreement.

You must also respect the Company’s rights. These Terms do not grant you any right to:

•             use branding, logos, designs, photographs, videos, or any other materials used in our Services.
•             copy, archive, download, upload, distribute, syndicate, broadcast, perform, display, make available, or otherwise use any portion of the Services or the content on the Services except as set forth in these Terms.
•             use the Services, any tools provided by the Services, or any content on the Services for any commercial purposes without our consent.

In short: You may not use the Services or the content on the Services in ways that are not authorized by these Terms. Nor may you help anyone else in doing so.

Other Users’ Content.

Although the Company reserves the right to review and remove Content that violates this Agreement, such Content is the sole responsibility of the user who posts it, and Company cannot always guarantee that all Content will comply with this Agreement. If you see Content on the Service that violates this Agreement, please report it within the Service or via support@cerasus.app.

Respecting Copyright

The company honors the requirements set forth in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. We therefore take reasonable steps to expeditiously remove from our Services any infringing material that we become aware of. And if a Company becomes aware that one of its users has repeatedly infringed copyrights, we will take reasonable steps within our power to terminate the user's account.

We make it easy for you to report suspected copyright infringement. If you believe that anything on the Services infringes a copyright that you own or control, please contact us at support@cerasus.app.

Your notice must:

•             contain the physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
•             identify the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
•             identify the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed, or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate the material.
•             provide your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and an email address.
•             provide a personal statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
•             provide a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Safety

We do our best to keep our Services secure and safe for all users. But we can't guarantee it. By using the Services, you agree that:

•             You will not use the Services for any purpose that is illegal or prohibited in these Terms.
•             You will not use any robot, spider, crawler, scraper, or other automated means or interface to access the Services or extract other user's information.
•             You will not use or develop any third-party applications that interact with the Services or other user's content or information without our written consent.
•             You will not use the Services in a way that could interfere with, disrupt, negatively affect, or inhibit other users from fully enjoying the Services, or that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the functioning of the Services.
•             You will not use or attempt to use another user's account, username, or password without their permission.
•             You will not solicit login credentials from another user.
•             You will not post content that contains pornography, graphic violence, threats, hate speech, or incitement to violence.
•             You will not upload viruses or other malicious code or otherwise compromise the security of the Services.
•             You will not attempt to circumvent any content-filtering techniques we employ, or attempt to access areas or features of the Services that you are not authorized to access.
•             You will not probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of our Services or any system or network.
•             You will not encourage or promote any activity that violates these Terms.

We also care about your safety while using our Services. So do not use our Services in a way that would distract you from obeying traffic or safety laws. For example, never use our Services and drive. And never put yourself or others in harm's way just to post or talk on Lingus AI: Language Learning.

11. Data Charges

You are responsible for any mobile data charges that you may incur for using our Services. If you're unsure what those charges may be, you should ask your service provider before using the Services.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, then that provision will be severed from these Terms and not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

18. Additional Terms for Specific Services

Given the breadth of our Services, we sometimes need to craft additional terms and conditions for specific Services. Those additional terms and conditions, which will be available with the relevant Services, then become part of your agreement with us if you use those Services.
