Terms of Service
Effective date: November 18, 2025
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Bubblegum Languages, LLC (“Bubblegum,” “we,” “our,” “us”) governing your use of our mobile apps, website, and related services (the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to these Terms.
1. Eligibility & Accounts
- You must be at least 13 years old (or the age required in your jurisdiction).
- You’re responsible for your account credentials and for all activity under your account. Keep your password secure.
- If you sign in with a third‑party provider (e.g., Apple or Google), their terms also apply to that sign‑in method.
Bubblegum Pro usage guardrails
Bubblegum Pro gives learners generous access to advanced AI, but “unlimited” still needs a few guardrails to keep the experience healthy and fair for everyone.
- No automated scraping, botting, or high-volume extraction.
- Accounts are for a single learner—please don’t share logins.
- Don’t resell Bubblegum access or package lessons as a third-party service.
If our systems flag potential misuse, we may temporarily pause or slow access while we review the activity. We’ll contact you if that happens so we can sort it out together. You can learn more about the values behind these guardrails in our design philosophy.
2. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use your information. By using the Services, you consent to our data practices.
3. License & Ownership
- We grant you a personal, limited, non‑exclusive, revocable, non‑transferable license to use the Services for your own learning in accordance with these Terms.
- The Services, including content, features, software, trademarks, and logos, are owned by Bubblegum and its licensors and are protected by law. Except for the license above, we reserve all rights.
4. User Content
If you submit content (e.g., feedback, comments), you grant Bubblegum a worldwide, royalty‑free, transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, and display that content to operate and improve the Services. You’re responsible for your content and must have the necessary rights to share it.
5. Acceptable Use
- No unlawful, infringing, or harmful activity.
- No reverse engineering, scraping, automated bulk access, or interference with the Services.
- No reselling, sublicensing, or using the Services to create a competing product.
- Respect others’ intellectual property and privacy rights.
6. Subscriptions, Trials & Billing
- We may offer paid subscriptions with recurring billing. Pricing, features, and limits are shown at purchase.
- If you subscribe via the Apple App Store or Google Play, billing, renewal, cancellations, and refunds are managed by the respective store’s terms. Follow the store’s instructions to manage your subscription.
- If you purchase on the web, billing is handled by our payment processor (e.g., Stripe). Unless stated otherwise, subscriptions auto‑renew until canceled.
- Free trials convert to paid plans unless you cancel before the trial ends. We may change plan features or pricing prospectively.
7. Cancellation & Account Deletion
- You can cancel renewal at any time in the same channel where you purchased (App Store, Google Play, or web). Access continues through the end of your current term.
- You can delete your account in‑app via Settings > Account > Delete Account. Deletion removes your personal data subject to legal retention requirements. Canceling a subscription does not automatically delete your account (and vice versa).
8. Changes to the Services
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features or the Services at any time. If we discontinue your paid plan, we’ll provide a pro‑rated refund where required.
9. Disclaimers
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON‑INFRINGEMENT. We don’t guarantee that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error‑free, or that learning outcomes will meet any particular goals.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BUBBLEGUM AND ITS AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR USE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICES IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM (OR $50 IF YOU HAVEN’T PAID).
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold Bubblegum harmless from claims, losses, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the Services or breach of these Terms.
12. Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA, excluding its conflicts of law rules. Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute with us informally by emailing support@bubblegum.la. If we can’t resolve it within 30 days, either party may pursue permissible claims in court or, where applicable, in small‑claims court. Where arbitration clauses are not required by your jurisdiction, you and Bubblegum agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of state and federal courts located in Boston, Massachusetts.
13. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or create risk or legal exposure for us or others. You may stop using the Services at any time.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms. If changes are material, we’ll provide notice (e.g., in‑app or by email). Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

16. Additional Terms for iOS App Distribution
When you download our iOS app through the Apple App Store, the following Apple-required terms apply in addition to everything above. These clauses ensure our Licensed Application End User License Agreement (“EULA”) satisfies Apple’s minimum requirements.
- Acknowledgement. This EULA is between you and Bubblegum Languages, LLC—not Apple. Bubblegum, not Apple, is solely responsible for the Licensed Application and its content. Usage remains subject to the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
- Scope of License. We grant you a personal, non-transferable license to use the app on any Apple-branded device you own or control, in line with the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. Family Sharing and volume purchasing programs may allow access for associated accounts.
- Maintenance & Support. Bubblegum alone is responsible for providing maintenance and support. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services for the Licensed Application.
- Warranty. Bubblegum is responsible for any express or implied warranties that have not been disclaimed. If the app fails to conform to an applicable warranty, contact Apple for a refund of the purchase price (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app, and any other losses, liabilities, or costs arising from a warranty failure are our sole responsibility.
- Product Claims. Bubblegum, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or third parties relating to the app or your possession or use of it—including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, and consumer protection or privacy claims (including any related to HealthKit or HomeKit).
- Intellectual Property. If a third party claims the app—or your possession and use of it— infringes their intellectual property rights, Bubblegum is solely responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and discharging that claim.
- Legal Compliance. You represent that you are not located in a U.S.-embargoed country or one designated by the U.S. Government as supporting terrorism, and you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You agree not to export or re-export the app to any such countries or parties.
- Developer Contact.Questions, complaints, or claims about the app should be directed to Bubblegum Languages, LLC at 68 Harrison Ave Ste 605 PMB 309915, Boston, Massachusetts 02111-1929 US, +1 (317) 800‑3288, or support@bubblegum.la.
- Third-Party Terms. You must comply with all applicable third-party agreements when using the app. For example, if you use a VoIP feature, you must not violate your wireless data service agreement.
- Third-Party Beneficiary. You and Bubblegum acknowledge that Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this EULA. By accepting these terms, you grant Apple the right (and Apple is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this EULA against you as a third-party beneficiary.
