These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are an agreement between you and Lexible LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Lexible," "we," "us," or "our"). They cover the Lexible mobile application (the "App") and our website, lexible.com (the "Website"). Together, we call the App and the Website the "Service."
Please read these Terms carefully. When you create an account, you check a box to agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. By doing so, or by using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, including recordings of children reading aloud, and how we use and protect it. When you agree to these Terms, you also agree to the Privacy Policy.
1. Who Can Use Lexible
Lexible accounts are for parents and legal guardians who are at least 18 years old. Children do not create accounts and cannot agree to these Terms.
A child uses Lexible only through a reader profile that their parent or guardian adds to the parent's account. When you add a reader, you confirm that you are that child's parent or legal guardian, and you give consent for Lexible to record the child's voice as the Privacy Policy describes.
You agree to these Terms for yourself and for every reader you add. You are responsible for how your readers use the App, and we encourage you to stay involved in their reading.
The App is currently offered only in the United States. The books you see depend on the country you are in.
2. Your Account
Give us an email address that is yours and that you check, and keep your password private.
You are responsible for what happens in your account. Deleting a reader or your account requires Face ID, Touch ID, or your password, so keep your device secure.
If you think someone has used your account without your permission, contact us right away at privacy@lexible.com.
3. What Lexible Is, and What It Is Not
Lexible is an educational reading tool. Runa, the App's reading companion, listens as your child reads aloud, helps with tricky words, and suggests practice.
Not a medical or clinical service. Lexible does not diagnose, treat, or cure dyslexia or any other condition. It is not a substitute for an evaluation or instruction by a qualified professional, such as a doctor, psychologist, reading specialist, or teacher. If you have concerns about your child's reading or development, please talk to a qualified professional.
No guaranteed results. Every child learns at their own pace. We do not promise any particular improvement in reading, grades, or test scores.
Runa is an AI. Runa is a computer program, not a person. What Runa says, including word meanings, story recaps, and conversations, is created by AI and can be wrong or incomplete.
Speech recognition can make mistakes. The App may count a word as read correctly when it was not, or count a correct word as a mistake. Progress information in the App is a guide, not a formal assessment.
If Runa says something that seems wrong or upsetting, please tell us at privacy@lexible.com so we can fix it.
4. Our Books and Content
Our books. The App includes classic stories that are in the public domain in the United States. The original stories belong to everyone. Lexible's versions of them, including our modernized text, illustrations, narration, and other audio, belong to Lexible.
What we own. Lexible owns the Service and everything we create for it, including the App's software, our speech recognition models, Runa (including the name, character, voice, and look), our books and artwork, and the Lexible name and logos. These are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Using the Service does not give you ownership of any of them.
Your license. Your license to the App itself comes from Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement. On top of that, we give you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Website and the books and other content in the Service for your family's own non-commercial reading, as these Terms allow.
Changes to the library. We may add or remove books and features at any time.
Copyright concerns. If you believe something in the Service infringes your copyright, email us at privacy@lexible.com with a description of the work and where it appears, and we will look into it.
5. Recordings and Reading Information
When your child reads, the App records their voice and keeps information about their reading and their conversations with Runa. You keep whatever rights you have in this information. You give Lexible permission to use it as described in our Privacy Policy, including to train and test Lexible's own speech recognition model (Section 2.1 of the Privacy Policy).
Lexible owns the speech recognition models and other technology it builds, including models trained using recordings as the Privacy Policy describes. Our models contain no recordings and no personal information.
6. Rules for Using Lexible
You agree not to:
Use the Service for anything illegal or harmful, or in any way that could hurt a child
Try to get into another person's account, or into parts of the Service you are not allowed to use
Copy, sell, rent, or share the App, its books, or its content, except as these Terms allow
Reverse engineer, decompile, or try to extract the App's source code or models, except where the law clearly allows it
Scrape the Service or use automated tools to collect its content or data
Disrupt or overload the Service, or get around its security, its parent protections, or the limits on which books are available where you are
Try to make Runa say harmful or inappropriate things
Use the Service to build a competing product
7. Price and Changes to the Service
The App is currently free. Parts of the Service are new or still being tested, and they may not always work as expected. We may change, pause, or stop any feature, book, or the Service itself. If we ever offer paid features, we will tell you the price before you are charged, and you will choose whether to buy them.
8. Third-Party Services
The Service relies on other companies to run, such as cloud hosting, AI language models, and text to speech. Our Privacy Policy lists them and explains what they receive. The Website uses Google reCAPTCHA, which is covered by Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We are not responsible for websites or services we do not control, including sites linked from the Service.
9. Feedback
If you send us ideas or suggestions about Lexible, we may use them without any obligation to you.
10. Ending Your Use of Lexible
You can stop using Lexible at any time. You can delete a reader, or your whole account, from the menu in the App. Section 6 of the Privacy Policy explains what happens to your information when you do.
We may suspend or close your account if you break these Terms, if we need to in order to protect a child, another user, or Lexible, or if we stop offering the Service. When we reasonably can, we will tell you first.
When your account closes, your license under these Terms ends. The parts of these Terms that by their nature should continue, such as ownership, disclaimers, limits on liability, and how disputes are handled, continue to apply.
11. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, LEXIBLE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT PROMISE THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR FREE, OR ACCURATE, THAT SPEECH RECOGNITION OR RUNA WILL BE CORRECT, OR THAT USING LEXIBLE WILL IMPROVE YOUR CHILD'S READING.
We work hard to protect your information (see Section 5 of the Privacy Policy). However, no method of storing or sending information electronically is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Some places do not allow some of these disclaimers, so some of them may not apply to you.
12. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, LEXIBLE AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS. LEXIBLE'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID LEXIBLE FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR $100.
These limits apply even if we were told that the damage was possible. They do not limit liability that the law does not allow us to limit, such as liability for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.
13. Indemnity
If you break these Terms or the law, and someone makes a claim against Lexible because of it, you agree to cover Lexible's reasonable costs from that claim, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to the extent the law allows.
14. Disputes and Governing Law
Talk to us first. If you have a problem with Lexible, contact us at privacy@lexible.com and give us 30 days to try to resolve it before you file a claim.
Governing law. The laws of the State of Washington govern these Terms, without regard to conflict of law rules.
Where disputes are heard. Any lawsuit about the Service or these Terms must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Pierce County, Washington, and you and Lexible agree to the jurisdiction of those courts. Either of us may bring a claim in small claims court instead, if it qualifies.
15. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make a material change, we will tell you by email or in the App before it takes effect, and we may ask you to agree again. If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you can delete your account. The date at the top of this page shows when these Terms last changed.
16. General Terms
These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and Apple's standard license for the App are the entire agreement between you and Lexible about the Service.
If any part of these Terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies.
If we do not enforce part of these Terms right away, we can still enforce it later.
You may not transfer these Terms to anyone else. We may transfer them as part of a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or reorganization.
No one other than you and Lexible has any rights under these Terms.
