Terms of Use

Last updated: 2026-07-27.

These terms govern the use of the Anyvoc mobile app ("the App") and the associated websites at anyvoc.eu.

1. Provider

The App is offered by the person named in the imprint (hereinafter "the Provider"). Email: feedback@anyvoc.eu.

2. Scope and contract language

These terms govern the usage agreement between you and the Provider. The contract language is English.

You can view these terms on this page at any time, save them in your browser and print them. They are permanently linked in the App under Settings.

3. Subject matter and description of the service

Anyvoc is a vocabulary trainer that runs primarily on your device. From content you supply (texts, images, web links, voice input), vocabulary is extracted and translated with the help of a language model and then trained using a spaced-repetition system (Leitner).

The App is offered in two tiers:

Characteristics of the AI-assisted features. Vocabulary detection, translations, example sentences and the CEFR level classification are generated by a language model. Language models work probabilistically; their output can be incorrect, imprecise or contextually unsuitable. Anyvoc is therefore a learning tool and not a professional translation, legal, medical or safety-related service. The final check against a dictionary or with a native speaker is up to you. This paragraph describes the agreed characteristics of the service; your statutory rights in the event of defects (section 10) and the liability provisions (section 12) remain unaffected.

Functionality, compatibility and interoperability. Your vocabulary, content and learning progress are stored exclusively on your device; there is no cloud sync. Vocabulary training, vocabulary management and text recognition from images work without an internet connection. Text-to-speech and voice input use your operating system's speech functions and likewise run on the device, provided the corresponding offline language package is installed there. An internet connection is required for AI-assisted vocabulary extraction and translation, for fetching shared web links, and for the optional sign-in.

The App contains no advertising and no user-tracking or audience-measurement services, and no technical protection measures restricting its use. Which data the App processes in detail — including anonymous diagnostic signals from the text recognition component — is described in the privacy policy. The operating system versions currently required are stated in the App Store and Google Play listings.

Accessibility. The App supports your operating system's accessibility features: screen readers (VoiceOver, TalkBack) through labels on the interactive elements, system-wide text enlargement, and touch targets sized accordingly.

4. Conclusion of contract — two separate contracts

By downloading and first using the App, a free usage agreement covering the Basic version is concluded between you and the Provider. These terms apply to that agreement.

The paid Pro subscription is separate from it. It is handled by the store you obtained the App from:

The Provider is not a party to that subscription contract or to the payment processing and receives no payment data — only confirmation from the store of whether an active Pro entitlement exists. Withdrawal, refunds, cancellation and price changes are therefore governed by the terms of the respective store (section 6).

5. Minimum age and minors

Use of the App is permitted from the age of 13. Persons under 13 may not use the App.

Minors who have reached the age of seven have limited legal capacity under § 106 of the German Civil Code (BGB). They require the consent of their legal guardians in order to enter into the usage agreement, and all the more so for a paid subscription, unless § 110 BGB exceptionally applies.

The Provider does not ask for your age and cannot verify it — the App deliberately has no age gate, because a self-declared age could not be verified and would mean collecting personal data that is not necessary in order to provide the service. Apple and Google apply their own account age requirements and family / parental-control mechanisms to the account used to install the App.

If you are a parent or guardian and have reason to believe that a child under 13 has used the App or created an account, please write to feedback@anyvoc.eu. The Provider will then delete the sign-in account held there. Vocabulary and learning data are stored only on the device and are removed by deleting the account in the App or by uninstalling it.

6. Pro subscription

6.1 Plans and prices

At the time of publication of these terms, the following plans are offered:

All prices are final consumer prices including applicable VAT. The binding price is always the one shown to you in your store's payment dialog immediately before purchase. The purchase option becomes available with the public release of the App in the stores; until then this section 6 has no effect.

6.2 Term, renewal and price changes

Billing, automatic renewal, payment deadlines and price changes are governed by the terms of the store with which the subscription contract exists (section 4). The store charges the stored payment method at the start of each new term; the charge may be initiated up to 24 hours before the current period ends. The store informs you about price changes according to its own rules and obtains your consent where required. The Provider has no influence on this.

6.3 Cancellation

You can cancel the Pro subscription at any time:

You can also contact feedback@anyvoc.eu at any time; the Provider will then assist you with the cancellation as far as this is possible for him vis-à-vis the store.

There is no minimum term beyond the billing period you chose. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; until then the Pro features remain usable. The deadlines to be observed in detail follow from the terms of the respective store.

6.4 Right of withdrawal

Because the subscription contract is concluded with the respective store (section 4), your statutory right of withdrawal is governed by that store's terms; there you will also find the withdrawal instructions and the model withdrawal form, as well as the conditions under which the right of withdrawal for digital content lapses early. Your withdrawal must be declared to the store, not to the Provider.

The Provider is happy to assist on request, but has no access to payment data and cannot issue refunds himself.

7. Licence and scope of use

The Provider grants you the simple, non-exclusive, non-transferable right, limited to the term of the contract, to use the App on your devices for private purposes.

The following are not permitted in particular:

8. Your content

When you submit content for vocabulary extraction (texts, images, web links, voice input), you warrant that you are entitled to do so — for example because it is your own text, freely usable content, or content covered by a valid licence.

The Provider stores your content exclusively on your device. Transfer to third parties (language model providers) occurs only for the purpose of processing your request; how long the language model provider retains a request, and on what legal basis, is set out in the privacy policy, section 6.

The Provider takes no notice of the content of your requests. No review or moderation of submitted content therefore takes place; selecting the content, and checking that it is permissible, are your responsibility alone.

9. Updates

The Provider makes available the updates required to maintain the App's conformity with the contract, including security updates, and informs you of their availability. Both the updates and the information are delivered through the App Store or Google Play.

The relevant period is, for Pro, the duration of the subscription and, for the Basic version, at least 24 months from installation of the respective version.

Please note: if you fail to install an update that has been made available, the Provider is not liable for defects resulting solely from the absence of that update — provided you were informed of its availability and of the consequences of not installing it, and the installation instructions were not defective.

10. Statutory rights in the event of defects

Statutory warranty law applies. For contracts covering digital products, you as a consumer have in particular the rights under §§ 327 et seq. BGB — namely to the provision of a product conforming with the contract, to subsequent performance, to termination of the contract or a price reduction, and where applicable to damages. These rights are not restricted by these terms.

11. Availability

The core functions executed on your device — vocabulary list, training, text-to-speech, text recognition and voice input — are available independently of the availability of our servers.

The AI-assisted features require an internet connection, the reachability of the Provider's backend proxy and the availability of the language model provider used. Maintenance work, outages at hosting or language model providers, and force majeure may temporarily restrict these features. In such cases the App remains usable offline with the vocabulary already present on the device.

12. Liability

(1) The Provider is liable without limitation for damage arising from injury to life, body or health that is based on a negligent or intentional breach of duty by the Provider, his legal representatives or his vicarious agents.

(2) The Provider is further liable without limitation for other damage based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the Provider, his legal representatives or his vicarious agents, in cases of fraudulent concealment of a defect, where a guarantee has been given, and under the German Product Liability Act.

(3) In the case of a slightly negligent breach of an essential contractual obligation, liability is limited to the damage typical for such contracts and foreseeable. Essential contractual obligations are those obligations whose fulfilment makes the proper performance of the contract possible in the first place and on whose observance you as a user regularly rely and may rely.

(4) The Provider's liability is otherwise excluded.

(5) The above limitations of liability also apply in favour of the Provider's legal representatives and vicarious agents.

13. Term and termination

13.1 Basic version

The usage agreement covering the Basic version runs for an indefinite period. You can end it at any time without notice by uninstalling the App; all locally stored data is thereby removed from the device. If you have additionally created an account, you end the agreement via Settings → Account → Delete Account; this deletes the server-side sign-in account and the local data on the device.

The Provider may terminate the free usage agreement with one month's notice in text form, and may discontinue the free offer with reasonable prior notice. The right of either party to terminate for cause remains unaffected.

13.2 Pro subscription

The Pro subscription ends at the end of the current billing period following cancellation in the store (section 6.3). No pro-rata refund is given unless the terms of the store or mandatory law provide otherwise.

13.3 Data-protection declarations

If you withdraw a data-protection consent or object to processing, the existence of this contract remains unaffected. If, as a result, continuing the contract is unreasonable for the Provider, he may terminate it pursuant to § 327q (2) BGB. Claims for compensation by the Provider against you are excluded in that case.

14. Changes

14.1 Changes to these terms

The Provider may amend these terms where one of the following grounds applies: changes in legislation or in supreme court case law; changes at third-party providers used (language model providers, hosting providers, app store requirements); closing security vulnerabilities; or technical development of the App, provided that this does not shift the balance between performance and consideration to your detriment.

The Provider will inform you of intended changes at least six weeks before they take effect, in text form, in the App or — if an address is held — by email. You may end the usage agreement at any time up to the point at which the change takes effect. Consent is not deemed to be given by silence.

14.2 Changes to the App (§ 327r BGB)

Beyond the measures required to maintain conformity with the contract, the Provider may change the App where there is a valid reason for doing so — in particular adaptation to a changed technical environment, to new operating system versions or to changed requirements of third-party providers — where this causes you no additional cost and where you are informed of the change clearly and comprehensibly.

If such a change adversely affects your ability to access or use the App other than merely negligibly, the Provider will inform you, within a reasonable period before the change takes effect and on a durable medium, of the characteristics and timing of the change and of your rights under § 327r (3) and (4) BGB. In that case you may terminate the contract free of charge within 30 days. This does not apply where the adverse effect is merely negligible or where the unchanged App remains accessible to you at no additional cost.

14.3 Pro subscription prices

Price changes for existing subscriptions are governed exclusively by the rules of the store with which the subscription contract exists (section 6.2).

15. Applicable law

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you have your habitual residence in another state, the mandatory consumer-protection provisions of that state remain unaffected by this choice of law.

16. Final provisions

Should individual provisions of these terms be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is unaffected. Invalid provisions are replaced by the statutory rules.

The Provider is neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
