3. Educational Purpose Only

Fala BJJ is intended solely for educational and informational purposes.

The Services are designed to assist users in learning Brazilian Portuguese and related Brazilian Jiu Jitsu terminology. We do not guarantee that use of the Services will result in language fluency, conversational proficiency, certification, employment opportunities, competitive success, or any particular learning outcome.

Language acquisition varies significantly between individuals and depends on many factors, including study habits, consistency, prior experience, and personal ability.

Any examples, translations, explanations, pronunciations, conversations, or instructional materials provided through the Services are intended as learning resources only and should not be considered professional translation, legal advice, medical advice, business advice, or any other form of professional guidance.

Users remain solely responsible for how they interpret and apply any information obtained through the Services.

4. Artificial Intelligence Features

Certain features of the Services may utilize artificial intelligence ("AI") to generate educational content, explanations, translations, quizzes, conversations, feedback, or other responses.

AI-generated content is produced automatically and may occasionally contain inaccuracies, omissions, outdated information, misunderstandings, or other errors.

Accordingly:

• AI responses should be used as educational assistance only.
• AI-generated content should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional translation or expert instruction.
• We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or suitability of AI-generated responses.
• You are responsible for independently evaluating any information generated by AI before relying on it.
• We may update, improve, replace, or discontinue AI models or AI-powered features at any time without prior notice.

5. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our Services, applicable law, business practices, or operational requirements.

When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of these Terms. In some cases, we may also provide additional notice, such as through the Services, by email, or by other reasonable means.

By continuing to access or use the Services after revised Terms become effective, you agree to be bound by the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Services and, if applicable, cancel your subscription.

6. Additional Terms

Certain features, promotions, subscription plans, contests, beta programs, or special services may be subject to additional terms, guidelines, or policies. Those additional terms are incorporated into these Terms by reference to the extent they apply.

If there is a conflict between these Terms and any additional terms governing a specific feature or service, the additional terms will control solely with respect to that feature or service.

7. Account Registration

To access certain features of the Services, you may be required to create an account.

When creating an account, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep your account information updated as necessary. You may not create an account using false information or impersonate another individual or entity.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account, whether authorized by you or not.

If you believe your account has been accessed without authorization or your credentials have been compromised, you must notify us immediately.

You may not transfer, sell, rent, lease, license, or otherwise assign your account to another person without our prior written consent.

We reserve the right to reject, suspend, restrict, or terminate any account that violates these Terms or that we reasonably believe presents a security, legal, or operational risk.

8. Account Security

You are responsible for taking reasonable measures to protect your account, including maintaining a secure password and safeguarding any authentication credentials.

We are not responsible for losses resulting from unauthorized access to your account caused by your failure to maintain appropriate security measures.

We may require additional verification before granting access to an account if we reasonably believe additional security measures are necessary.

9. User Responsibilities

• Share your login credentials with others.
• Allow multiple individuals to use a single subscription.
• Sell or transfer access to your account.

• Pursuing any legal remedies available to us.

Our decision to enforce or not enforce any provision of these Terms in a particular instance does not waive our right to enforce that provision or any other provision in the future.

13. No Ownership Rights

Your use of the Services does not grant you any ownership interest in the Services or any content made available through them.

All rights, title, and interest in and to the Services, including all software, lessons, educational materials, AI prompts, AI-generated instructional content, text, graphics, illustrations, logos, icons, designs, audio recordings, pronunciation guides, videos, animations, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, databases, user interfaces, and other materials are owned by or licensed to Fala BJJ and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

Except for the limited license expressly granted under these Terms, no rights are transferred to you.

You may not reproduce, publish, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, create derivative works from, modify, sell, license, or otherwise exploit any portion of the Services without our prior written permission.

14. Subscription Plans

Certain features of the Services are available only through a paid subscription ("Subscription").

Subscription plans, pricing, billing intervals, available features, promotional offers, and free trial periods may vary over time and may differ based on your country, platform, or method of purchase.

Current Subscription details are presented within the Services at the time of purchase.

By purchasing a Subscription, you authorize the applicable payment provider to charge all applicable fees, taxes, and other charges associated with your selected Subscription plan.

Your Subscription grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access premium features during the active subscription period. Purchasing a Subscription does not transfer ownership of any content, software, or intellectual property.

15. Billing and Automatic Renewal

Unless otherwise stated, all Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period until canceled.

By purchasing a Subscription, you expressly authorize recurring charges using your selected payment method until your Subscription is canceled.

Renewal charges will generally occur within twenty-four (24) hours prior to the end of the current billing period, subject to the policies of the applicable payment platform.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your payment information remains current and valid.

If payment cannot be successfully processed, we or the applicable payment platform may suspend or terminate access to premium features until payment is successfully completed.

16. Free Trials

From time to time, we may offer free trial periods for eligible users.

Unless otherwise stated at the time of enrollment:

• Free trials automatically convert into a paid Subscription at the end of the trial period.
• Your payment method may be charged automatically unless you cancel before the trial expires.
• Eligibility for free trials is determined solely by Fala BJJ and may be limited to new users.
• We reserve the right to modify, terminate, or withdraw any free trial offer at any time.

We may limit free trial eligibility to prevent abuse, including multiple accounts, duplicate payment methods, or other attempts to circumvent trial limitations.

17. Pricing

Subscription prices may change from time to time.

If pricing changes apply to an existing Subscription, we will provide any notice required by applicable law or by the applicable app marketplace.

Price changes do not affect billing periods that have already been paid.

Applicable taxes may be added where required by law.

18. Payment Processing

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers, including but not limited to Apple, Google, Stripe, or other authorized payment processors.

We do not store complete payment card information.

Your use of any third-party payment processor is subject to that provider's own terms, conditions, and privacy policies.

We are not responsible for errors, delays, interruptions, or security incidents caused by third-party payment providers.

19. Apple App Store Purchases

If you purchase a Subscription through Apple's App Store:

• Billing is handled by Apple, not Fala BJJ.
• Subscription management is performed through your Apple ID account settings.
• Cancellations must be completed through Apple.
• Refund requests are subject to Apple's refund policies and approval process.
• Apple is solely responsible for processing payments made through the App Store.

To avoid renewal charges, you must cancel your Subscription through your Apple account before the renewal date.

20. Google Play Purchases

If you purchase a Subscription through Google Play:

• Billing is handled by Google.
• Subscription management occurs through your Google Play account.
• Refund requests are governed by Google's applicable policies.
• Subscription cancellations must be completed through Google Play.

21. Website Purchases

If we offer Subscriptions directly through our website, payments may be processed by one or more authorized payment providers.

Website subscriptions may have different billing methods, pricing, promotions, or payment options than subscriptions purchased through mobile app marketplaces.

Where permitted by law, subscriptions purchased through our website must generally be managed through your website account rather than through Apple or Google.

22. Cancellation

You may cancel your Subscription at any time.

Cancellation prevents future renewal charges but does not automatically entitle you to a refund for the current billing period.

Unless otherwise required by law, you will continue to have access to premium features until the end of your current paid subscription period.

Deleting the application from your device does not cancel your Subscription.

Deleting your account does not automatically cancel your Subscription if it is managed through Apple, Google, or another third-party billing provider.

You remain responsible for canceling recurring billing through the applicable payment platform.

23. Refund Policy

Except where required by applicable law, subscription fees are non-refundable.

We do not provide refunds or credits for:

• Partial billing periods.
• Unused time remaining on a Subscription.
• Failure to use the Services.
• Accidental purchases caused by failure to cancel automatic renewal.
• Promotional pricing changes after purchase.

If your purchase was made through Apple or Google, refund requests must be submitted directly to the applicable marketplace.

Nothing in these Terms limits any consumer rights that cannot legally be waived under applicable law.

24. Promotional Offers

We may offer discounts, promotional pricing, referral rewards, coupons, introductory offers, or other incentives.

Unless otherwise stated:

• Promotional offers have no cash value.
• Promotional offers cannot be transferred.
• Promotional offers may expire without notice.
• Only one promotional offer may be applied per eligible purchase unless otherwise specified.

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue promotional offers at any time.

If we determine that a promotional offer has been obtained through fraud, abuse, or violation of these Terms, we may revoke the promotion, suspend the associated account, or charge the standard applicable price.

25. Account Deletion

You may request deletion of your account at any time using the account deletion feature within the Services or by contacting us through the methods identified in these Terms.

Deletion of your account generally results in the permanent removal of your account information and associated data, subject to our Privacy Policy and any legal obligations requiring retention.

Certain information may be retained where necessary to:

• Comply with applicable laws.
• Resolve disputes.
• Enforce these Terms.
• Prevent fraud.
• Protect the security and integrity of our Services.
• Maintain legally required business records.

Account deletion does not automatically cancel recurring subscriptions managed by Apple, Google, or other third-party billing providers. You remain responsible for canceling recurring billing through the applicable platform before deleting your account.
