Terms of Service

By creating an account, opening the app, or otherwise using sayit, you agree to these terms. They’re a contract between you and us, so it’s worth a read. If you don’t agree with something here, that’s okay, just don’t use the service.

If you’re using sayit on behalf of a school, classroom, or organization, you’re confirming you have the authority to accept these terms for them. If you’re under the age where you can agree to a contract on your own, please have a parent, guardian, or teacher do it with you.

sayit is an offline-first English pronunciation coach. You read a line aloud, and the app marks your speech sound by sound, shows the IPA, and points to the exact vowel or consonant to work on. Most analysis runs on your own device. We built it that way on purpose.

There’s a Free plan that works in your browser with no card, and paid Premium and Teams plans that unlock unlimited practice, full progress history, and more. The current plans and what each includes live on our pricing page.

We’re always improving sayit, so features may be added, changed, or retired over time. We’ll try not to break anything you rely on without good reason.

Some features need an account. When you make one, please give accurate information and keep it up to date. You’re responsible for what happens under your account, so keep your password to yourself and let us know promptly if you think someone else has gotten in.

One account is for one person (or, for Teams, the seats you’ve been assigned). Please don’t share login details around or hand your account to someone else without telling us.

Keep it kind and keep it legal. In particular, please don’t:

• Misuse, overload, or try to break the service, or interfere with anyone else’s use of it.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, scrape, or copy the app except where the law specifically allows it.
• Upload or generate unlawful, hateful, or harmful content, or anything you don’t have the right to use.
• Use sayit to harass others, infringe someone’s rights, or pretend to be a person you’re not.
• Resell or rebrand the service as your own without a written agreement with us.

If you break these in a serious or repeated way, we may suspend or close your account; see Termination below.

Paid plans are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, whichever you choose) and renew automatically at the end of each period until you cancel. Prices are shown before you pay, and we’ll give you notice before any change to what you’re paying.

You can cancel anytime from your account settings. When you cancel, you keep your paid features until the end of the period you’ve already paid for, and you won’t be charged again. After that, your account drops back to the Free plan; your practice history stays put.

This is sample language, not a real policy: refunds are handled reasonably and case by case, and where the law gives you a cooling-off or refund right, that always applies. If something went wrong with a charge, just get in touch and we’ll sort it out.

We own sayit: the app, its design, code, models, name, and look. Using the service doesn’t transfer any of that to you; we’re giving you a personal, limited, non-transferable licence to use it under these terms.

Your recordings and content stay yours. The audio you record and the text you bring (like a book you import to read aloud) belong to you. We only use them to provide the service to you, for example, to analyze your pronunciation and show your progress. We don’t claim ownership of your voice or your words.

sayit gives you pronunciation guidance, not a certification. The feedback is here to help you practice and improve; it isn’t a formal assessment, an exam result, or proof of fluency, and it shouldn’t be treated as one for any official purpose.

The service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We work hard to make it accurate and dependable, but we can’t promise it will be perfect, uninterrupted, or error-free, and to the extent the law allows we make no warranties beyond what’s written here.

To the fullest extent the law allows, sayit won’t be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses (things like lost data, lost profits, or missed opportunities) arising from your use of (or inability to use) the service.

Where we are liable, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us for the service in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits anything that can’t be limited by law.

You can stop using sayit and close your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if we’re required to by law, or if we discontinue the service. And where it’s reasonable to do so, we’ll give you a heads-up first.

When your account ends, your licence to use the app ends with it. The parts of these terms that should survive (like intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) carry on after.

We may update these terms now and then, to reflect new features, legal requirements, or just clearer wording. When we make a meaningful change, we’ll update the “last updated” date above and, where it matters, let you know in the app or by email.

Continuing to use sayit after a change means you accept the updated terms. If you don’t agree with an update, you can stop using the service and close your account.

These terms are governed by the laws of [your jurisdiction], and any disputes will be handled in the courts of [your jurisdiction], placeholders to be filled in for the real, published version.
