These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) apply to the ScanVocab app for mobile devices, together with any related services operated by Thao Tran, an individual residing in the State of Georgia, United States (collectively, the “Application”). Thao Tran is referred to in these Terms as the “Service Provider.”
By downloading, installing, or using the Application, you agree to these Terms. You should read them carefully before using the Application. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download, access, or use the Application.
License to Use the Application
Subject to your compliance with these Terms, the Service Provider grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Application on an Apple iOS device that you own or control, for personal, non-commercial use. The Application is currently available exclusively through the Apple App Store; the Service Provider does not warrant or represent that the Application is, or will be, available on any other platform or operating system.
You may not reproduce, distribute, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, modify, create derivative works from, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Application, or attempt to derive its source code, except as and only to the extent that such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this restriction.
Eligibility and Age
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Application. If you are under 18, you represent that you have reviewed these Terms with, and have the permission of, a parent or legal guardian to use the Application.
The Service Provider does not verify the age of any user at sign-up or at any other time, and has no independent means of confirming the age of any individual using the Application. By using the Application, you represent and warrant that the age and eligibility information you provide, and your continued use of the Application, is truthful and accurate, and you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Service Provider from and against any claims, damages, losses, or liabilities of any kind arising out of or related to a misrepresentation of your age or eligibility, or a parent or guardian’s failure to supervise a minor’s use of the Application.
By accessing and using this Application, you further represent that you are legally permitted to use it in your jurisdiction and that your use complies with all applicable laws.
Accounts
Each account is for individual, single-user use only. You may not share your account, login credentials, or access with any other person, and you are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
The Application is designed for single-session use: accessing or making changes to the same account from multiple devices at the same time may cause data loss, interface synchronization errors, or corrupted progress tracking. The Service Provider is not responsible for any data loss, corruption, or inaccurate study analytics resulting from simultaneous multi-device use of an account.
The Service Provider reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account found to be shared among multiple individuals or used in violation of this section.
Intellectual Property
The Service Provider owns all rights in the Application, including its code, design, and branding. Nothing in these Terms grants you any license or right to use the Service Provider’s name, logo, or branding for any purpose. You agree not to remove, alter, or obscure any copyright or other proprietary notices displayed in or on the Application.
Unauthorized copying, modification, or reverse engineering of the Application, or of the Service Provider’s branding, is strictly prohibited.
User Data
The Application lets you create study material by photographing text — such as vocabulary lists, textbook pages, worksheets, or handwritten notes — or by manually entering vocabulary terms and definitions (your “User Data”), to generate flashcards, spelling practice, multiple-choice practice, and related materials for your own personal use. Your User Data and any materials generated from it are not shared with other users or made public.
By submitting User Data, you represent that you own it, or otherwise have the rights, licenses, consents, and permissions needed to use, submit, and process it through the Application (including through the third-party AI processing described in the Privacy Policy), and that doing so does not infringe, misappropriate, or violate any third party’s rights.
You grant the Service Provider a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to process your User Data solely as necessary to operate and provide the Application’s features to you. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Service Provider from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to User Data you submit, including any claim that it infringes a third party’s rights.
If the Service Provider introduces social, sharing, or publishing features in the future, updated Terms will apply to those features and will be communicated to you as described in “Changes to These Terms and Conditions” below.
Artificial Intelligence and Accuracy of Generated Content
The Application uses a third-party AI service, Google Gemini, for two features: extracting vocabulary from photos you submit, and grading practice sentences you write using target vocabulary words. Flashcards, spelling practice, and multiple-choice questions are generated by the Application itself from your vocabulary entries, not by Gemini.
AI-generated content — including extracted vocabulary and sentence feedback — may contain errors, omissions, mistranslations, or inaccuracies. The Application and its generated study materials are provided as a study aid only, and the Service Provider makes no guarantee, warranty, or representation as to the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any content generated by the Application. You are solely responsible for independently verifying any vocabulary, translation, definition, or feedback produced by the Application before relying on it, including by consulting a teacher, instructor, dictionary, or other authoritative source. The Service Provider is not liable for any loss resulting from your reliance on AI-generated content.
Subscriptions and In-App Purchases
The Application offers optional in-app purchases and auto-renewing subscriptions, processed through RevenueCat in conjunction with the Apple App Store. By purchasing a subscription, you authorize recurring charges to your Apple ID payment method until you cancel. Subscriptions automatically renew for the same term unless canceled before the renewal date, in accordance with the Apple App Store’s subscription and cancellation terms then in effect.
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your device’s Settings app (Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions), or through the Apple App Store. Canceling stops future renewals but does not entitle you to a refund of any amount already charged for the current billing period.
All purchases and subscriptions are non-refundable by the Service Provider. If you believe you were charged in error or wish to request a refund, you must contact Apple directly, as Apple independently administers its own refund policies and procedures for purchases made through the App Store, over which the Service Provider has no control and for which the Service Provider assumes no responsibility.
The Service Provider reserves the right to change subscription pricing at any time. Any price change will be displayed within the Application and, where required by applicable law, communicated to you before it takes effect for your then-current subscription term.
Usage Limits
AI features, such as camera scan and sentence grader, are subject to usage limits. We may set, adjust, or reset these limits at any time, including in response to changes in our operating costs, without prior notice. Continued use of the Service after any such change constitutes acceptance of the updated limits.
We do not guarantee unlimited use of any AI feature. We may also throttle, suspend, or restrict access to AI features for any account we determine, in our reasonable discretion, is using the Service in a manner inconsistent with normal usage patterns.
Third-Party Services and Service Dependencies
The Application relies on third-party infrastructure and services to operate, including but not limited to Google (authentication and AI processing via the Gemini API), Apple (authentication and payment processing), Google AdMob (advertising), RevenueCat (subscription management), Expo (application infrastructure and updates), Cloudflare (backend infrastructure), and Supabase (database hosting). The Service Provider does not control, and is not responsible or liable for, the availability, performance, security, or conduct of these third-party services. If the Application does not function properly, or is unavailable in whole or in part, because of an outage, change, restriction, or discontinuation of a third-party service the Application depends on, or because of any other cause beyond the Service Provider’s reasonable control (including natural disaster, internet or telecommunications failures, or similar events), the Service Provider will not be liable for any resulting loss or damage.
Some functions of the Application require an active internet connection, which may be provided by Wi-Fi or your mobile network provider. The Service Provider is not responsible if the Application does not function at full capacity due to lack of internet access, exhausted data allowances, or an uncharged device. If you use the Application outside of a Wi-Fi area, your mobile network provider’s agreement terms continue to apply, and you accept responsibility for any data charges, including roaming charges if you use the Application outside your home territory without disabling data roaming. If you are not the bill payer for the device you use, you are assumed to have obtained the bill payer’s permission.
Feedback
If you choose to submit ideas, suggestions, feature requests, or other feedback about the Application to the Service Provider, you agree that the Service Provider may use, modify, and incorporate that feedback into the Application, or otherwise exploit it in any manner, without any obligation, attribution, or compensation to you.
Disclaimer of Warranties
THE APPLICATION IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THE SERVICE PROVIDER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE APPLICATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT ANY CONTENT GENERATED BY THE APPLICATION WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.
Nothing in this section shall limit any rights you have under applicable consumer protection laws that cannot be lawfully excluded.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service Provider is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of profits or data, arising from your use of the Application. This limitation applies even if the damages result from the Service Provider’s ordinary negligence. These limitations do not extend to gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
The total liability of the Service Provider for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid to the Service Provider in the 12 months preceding the claim.
Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Service Provider, and the Service Provider’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents, from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or related to: (a) your breach of these Terms; (b) your intentional misuse of the Application; (c) your violation of any applicable law; or (d) your User Data, including any claim that material you photographed, entered, or processed through the Application infringes a third party’s rights.
This indemnification does not apply to claims arising from the Service Provider’s own negligence, breach of these Terms, or violation of applicable law. In jurisdictions where consumer indemnification obligations are restricted by law, this clause is limited to the maximum extent permitted.
Dispute Resolution; Agreement to Arbitrate
Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights and requires you to resolve disputes with the Service Provider through individual binding arbitration rather than in court, except as set out below.
Informal Resolution First
Before filing a claim, you agree to first contact the Service Provider at support.scanvocab@gmail.com and describe the dispute and the relief sought, and to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.
Binding Arbitration
If a dispute is not resolved informally, you and the Service Provider agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Application shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies. The arbitration will be conducted in the State of Georgia or another mutually agreed location, or, where permitted by the applicable AAA rules, remotely or by written submissions.
Class Action Waiver
You and the Service Provider agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. Neither you nor the Service Provider may bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding.
Jury Trial Waiver
You and the Service Provider waive any right to a trial by jury with respect to any dispute covered by this section, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Severability of This Section
If any part of this Dispute Resolution section is found to be unenforceable, the remainder shall remain in full force and effect, except that if the Class Action Waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or dispute, that specific claim or dispute (and only that claim or dispute) must proceed in court and be severed from any arbitration.
This section does not limit any rights you may have that cannot be waived under applicable consumer protection law.
Right to Refuse or Suspend Service
The Service Provider reserves the right to refuse, suspend, or terminate your access to the Application, at its discretion, for any lawful reason, including violation of these Terms, subject to applicable anti-discrimination and consumer protection law.
Assignment
The Service Provider may assign or transfer these Terms, and its rights and obligations under them, at any time, including in connection with a sale, merger, or transfer of the Application or the Service Provider’s business. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without the Service Provider’s prior written consent.
No Waiver
No failure or delay by the Service Provider in exercising any right under these Terms shall operate as a waiver of that right, nor shall any single or partial exercise of a right preclude any other or further exercise of that right.
Notices
The Service Provider may provide notices to you through the Application, through the email address associated with your account, or by posting on this page. You may provide notices to the Service Provider at support.scanvocab@gmail.com.
Export Compliance
You represent that you are not located in, and will not access or use the Application from, any country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You agree to comply with all applicable export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations.
Termination
The Service Provider may suspend or terminate your access to the Application at any time, without prior notice, if you breach these Terms, violate applicable law, infringe intellectual property rights, or engage in conduct that could cause harm to the Service Provider or others.
Upon termination, your right to use the Application ends and you must delete all copies from your devices.
Application Updates and Availability
The Service Provider may update the Application from time to time. The Service Provider does not guarantee that it will always update the Application to remain compatible with your device’s operating system version. You should accept updates when offered; if you decline, the Service Provider may cease to support earlier versions, and the Application may not function properly.
The Service Provider may also cease providing the Application, or terminate its availability, at any time, without providing prior notice to you. Unless the Service Provider informs you otherwise, upon any such termination: (a) the rights and licenses granted to you under these Terms will end; and (b) you must cease using the Application and, if necessary, delete it from your device.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, excluding its conflict-of-law rules, except to the extent mandatory consumer protection laws provide otherwise. Subject to the Dispute Resolution section above, any dispute not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively before the state or federal courts located in Georgia, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Nothing in this section limits any right you may have to bring a claim in a court that is competent under mandatory law.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect.
Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Service Provider concerning your use of the Application, superseding any prior agreements or understandings.
Changes to These Terms and Conditions
The Service Provider may periodically update these Terms. You are advised to review this page regularly for changes. The Service Provider will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms on this page and updating the effective date below. Previous versions of these Terms will be maintained and made available upon request by contacting the Service Provider at support.scanvocab@gmail.com.
These Terms and Conditions are effective as of 2026-09-09.
