Lingio Terms and Conditions

Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) and our Privacy Notice at www.lingio.com/privacy-policy (“Privacy Notice”) carefully because they govern your use of the website located at www.lingio.com (the “Site”) and the services accessible via the Site and corresponding mobile application (“App”) offered by Lingio AB (“Lingio”, “we” or “us”). To make these Terms easier to read, the Site, our services and App are collectively called the “Services.”

 

1. Agreement to Terms

By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by these Terms, do not use the Services. If you are accessing and using the Services on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to that entity.

 

2. Privacy Notice

Please review our Privacy Notice, which also governs your use of the Services, for information on how we collect, use and share personal information.

 

3. Changes to these Terms or the Services 

We may update the Terms from time to time in our sole discretion. If we do, we’ll let you know by posting the updated Terms on the Site, to the App and/or may also send other communications. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we update them or you use the Services. If you continue to use the Services after we have posted updated Terms it means that you accept and agree to the changes. If you don’t agree to be bound by the changes, you may not use the Services anymore. Because our Services are evolving over time we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion.

 

4. Who May Use the Services? 

4.1 Use of the Services. You may use the Services, as an individual user, only if you are at least 18 years of age. By using our Services, you confirm and agree to meet the following requirements: (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to an EU or U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the EU or U.S. Government as a “terrorist-supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any EU or U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

4.2   Account Registration. For all features of the Services you’ll need an account. You are only permitted to open one account for free. It’s important that you provide us with accurate, complete and current account information and keep this information up to date. If you don’t, we might have to suspend or terminate your account. To protect your account, notify us right away of any unauthorized use. You’re responsible for all activities that occur under your account. 

4.3 Authorized Users. If you are a company or other legal entity, the Services may only be accessed and used by your employees or contractors who have been designated and authorized by you to be granted such access (each an “Authorized User”) for the sole purpose of performing their job functions for you. Each account for the Services may only be accessed and used by the specific Authorized User for whom such account is created. The account credentials are confidential and cannot be shared or used by more than one person. You are responsible and liable for: (i) all actions taken under an Authorized User’s credentials, whether or not such action was taken or authorized by the Authorized User; and (ii) all uses of the Services resulting from access provided by Lingio, directly or indirectly, whether such access or use is permitted by or in violation of these Terms. 

 

5. Subscription and cancellation 

5.1 Free or paid trial. Lingio may from time to time offer a free or paid trial subscription for the Services. Unless you cancel before the end of the trial period, you will be automatically charged the price indicated on the payment screen for the chosen subscription period. If a trial is offered, it will be explicitly stated on the price screen before checkout. Please note that Lingio may occasionally offer paid trial discounted offers that renew at the full not discounted price.

5.2   Subscription. Your subscription will be automatically renewed and charged for renewal at the end of each period until you cancel. The period will depend on the option selected by you at the time of purchase (for example each week, month, year, or otherwise). The unused portion of the free trial is forfeited after purchase.

5.3 Cancellation. You may cancel your free trial or subscription anytime by turning off auto-renewal. To avoid being charged for the next subscription period, you must turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the current subscription period ends (including the free trial period). You alone can manage your subscriptions. Note that deleting the app or account does not cancel your subscription(s). Cancelling your subscription means that auto-renewal will be disabled. You will still have access to all subscription features for the remaining time of your active subscription period.

 

6. Payment

6.1 Payment method. Payment is charged at confirmation of purchase, at the end of the trial period, or/and at the end of each subscription period until you cancel. You authorize us to charge the applicable subscription fees to the payment method that you use.

6.2  Refunds. Lingio provide refunds at its own discretion, and subject to applicable law, provided Lingio find the request acceptable. There are no refunds for partially used periods. Generally, a refund can only be claimed during the subscription period. If the subscription period has expired, the Services will be deemed consumed in full. Certain refund requests may be considered on a case-by-case basis and granted at Lingio’s sole discretion.

6.3 Changes. Lingio may change the price for recurring subscriptions from time to time. Price changes for recurring subscriptions will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. You accept the price change by continuing to stay subscribed after the price change takes effect. Promotion prices and limited-time opportunities may be available for qualifying purchases made during the promotional period. We are unable to offer price protection, refunds or retroactive discounts for previous purchases in the event that we offer a promotional offering or price reduction.
