Terms and conditions

Welcome to Vebulo! Vebulo is owned and operated by Oleksandr Kovalenko. These are the terms and conditions for the Vebulo mobile app (available on Google Play and the App Store) and the website (https://vebulo.com). They govern access to and use of the Vebulo platform by registered users, understood as individuals who use the platform to build a personal phrase library and practice languages. By registering and using Vebulo, you expressly agree to be bound by these terms.

In these terms and conditions, the word "platform" refers to the Vebulo mobile app and the Vebulo website together, unless they are referred to individually; "we", "us", "our", and "Vebulo" refer to Oleksandr Kovalenko, the individual operator of Vebulo; and "you" and "user" refer to you, the user of Vebulo. Please read these terms carefully before using the services and features available on the platform.

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing and using the Vebulo platform, you agree to be fully bound by the terms and conditions set out in this agreement. If you do not agree with any of these terms, you must refrain from using the platform or its services. We reserve the right to modify this agreement at any time. Any modification takes effect once published on the platform. By continuing to use Vebulo after a modification is published, you expressly agree to be bound by the updated terms. For this reason, we recommend reviewing this agreement periodically to stay informed of any changes.

By using the platform, you represent and warrant that you have full legal capacity, power, and authority to enter into this agreement and fulfill your obligations under it. You also confirm that you are not subject to any legal, contractual, or other restriction that limits or prevents your ability to accept these terms and conditions. You warrant that you will use the platform in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and that your use will not infringe any third-party rights or contravene any applicable regulation.

Your acceptance of this agreement constitutes a binding commitment to adhere to the terms set out in this document and any additional policies published on the platform. This commitment includes your obligation to ensure that all information provided during registration and use of the platform is true, accurate, and up to date. Vebulo is not responsible for any breach of these terms by users, and any violation of these terms may result in suspension or termination of your access to the platform.

2. Notifications and newsletter

By providing your email address to Vebulo, you agree that we may use it to send you notifications about Vebulo. We may also use your email address to send you other messages, such as changes to service features, news, and special content. If you do not wish to receive these emails, you may opt out by sending your unsubscribe request through our contact information or by using the "unsubscribe" option in the emails. Opting out may prevent you from receiving notifications and emails about updates, news, or special content. Transactional emails required to operate your account, such as verification and password reset messages, are not affected by opting out of marketing communications.

3. Account registration

To use the features of the Vebulo app, you must create an account. When completing the registration process, you declare that the information provided is true, current, and complete, and you commit to keeping it up to date while using the platform.

You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs under your account, for the content of your phrase library, and for keeping your access credentials confidential. You agree not to allow unauthorized third parties to access your account. We reserve the right to suspend or delete any account that breaches these terms, provides false information, or, at our discretion, fails to comply with acceptable use of the platform.

4. Use of the platform

Vebulo is intended exclusively for personal, non-commercial language learning. Through the platform, you can build a personal library of phrases, organize them into topics, have them translated into your target languages, generate audio for them, and practice using the Listen, Shadow, and Recall modes.

You are directly responsible for the content you add to your library. Vebulo provides automatic translations and generated audio as learning aids and does not guarantee that translations are free of errors or suitable for any purpose other than personal practice.

You agree to use the platform in accordance with these terms and conditions, refraining from using it for unlawful or fraudulent purposes or purposes contrary to proper use. Any breach of these provisions may result in immediate suspension or cancellation of access to the platform, without prejudice to any applicable legal action.

5. Free trial and subscriptions

Every new account starts with a 14-day free trial that begins at account creation. During the trial you have full access to the learning experience, including starter phrase packs, custom phrase creation, and all practice modes, at no cost and with no payment method required. The trial does not convert into a paid subscription automatically: when it ends, continued use of the platform requires an active Pro subscription, which you may choose to purchase at any time. Content you created during the trial is not deleted when the trial ends; it becomes accessible again when you subscribe.

Pro subscriptions are offered as auto-renewing monthly or annual plans, purchased exclusively through Google Play or the App Store at the prices displayed there. All billing, payment processing, renewals, and subscription management are handled entirely by Google Play or the App Store; Vebulo does not process payments directly. Payment is charged to your store account, and the subscription renews automatically at the start of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. The store notifies you of upcoming renewals in accordance with its policies and applicable law.

You can cancel your subscription at any time through the subscription management settings of Google Play or the App Store. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep access to paid features until that period ends. Refunds for purchases made through the app stores are handled by the corresponding store under its refund policies; nothing in these terms limits any statutory right you may have.

Where required by law, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal for distance contracts. By starting the subscription immediately after purchase, you expressly consent to the service beginning within the withdrawal period and acknowledge that, once the service has been fully performed or digital content delivery has begun, the right of withdrawal may be lost to the extent permitted by law.

We reserve the right to modify the prices, conditions, and features of subscription plans at any time, with timely notice to users through the platform or the app stores. Changes apply from the next billing period. Continued use of the platform after such modifications implies acceptance of the new terms applicable to the subscription.

6. User content

You retain ownership of the phrases and other content you add to the platform. By adding content, you grant Vebulo a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, process, translate, and convert that content into audio, solely to the extent necessary to provide the platform's features to you. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except where limited retention is required to meet legal obligations.

You are solely responsible for the content you add and warrant that it does not infringe third-party rights or applicable law.

7. Limitation of liability

Vebulo is a self-study tool operated by an individual. It provides technology for building a phrase library, generating translations and audio, and practicing, and does not provide professional language instruction, certification, or any guarantee of learning outcomes. Results depend on your own practice, and no specific level of proficiency or progress is promised or guaranteed.

Vebulo does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability of the system, nor that the platform is free of technical failures, programming errors, interruptions, delays, or data loss. Although reasonable security and maintenance measures are adopted, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Vebulo shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or other damages resulting from the use of or inability to use the app, loss of data, service interruption, errors in translations or generated audio, failures in notifications, technical delays, or any other event arising from use of the platform.

Vebulo is not responsible for the accuracy or legality of the content users add to their libraries. Each user is fully responsible for the content they add or manage within the app and expressly releases Vebulo from any claim, dispute, damage, or loss that may arise from improper or negligent use of the platform.

You accept that use of Vebulo is at your own risk and that the platform is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for willful misconduct or gross negligence, nor does anything in these terms affect your statutory rights as a consumer. In all other cases, Vebulo limits its liability to the maximum extent legally permitted.

8. License to use the platform

Vebulo grants you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive license to download and use the Vebulo mobile app, available through the App Store and Google Play. This license includes access to modified versions, updates, improvements, extensions, and copies of the app, where available. The exclusive purpose of this license is to allow you to access and use the features offered by the platform in accordance with these terms and conditions.

You agree to use the platform diligently, lawfully, and in full compliance with applicable regulations, refraining from any negligent, fraudulent, or harmful activity or any activity that compromises the integrity of Vebulo, its services, or the experience of other users. Use of the platform for actions that may damage the reputation, interests, or rights of Vebulo or third parties is strictly prohibited, including but not limited to:

• Attempting to access unauthorized systems or reverse engineer the platform.
• Using automated techniques to interact with the platform in unauthorized ways.
• Engaging in activities that may disrupt, overload, or compromise the technical operation of the platform.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to suspend or cancel your access to the platform immediately and without liability if any breach of the established conditions is detected. This cancellation may be carried out with or without prior notice, depending on the nature and severity of the breach. We also reserve the right to take legal action if misuse of the platform causes economic, technical, or reputational damage. You acknowledge that the license granted is revocable and that its continuity depends on full compliance with these conditions.

Content you add to your own library remains yours as described in the User content section.

10. Copyright claims

We will respond to all inquiries, complaints, and claims related to alleged infringement of Spanish and international copyright and intellectual property laws and regulations. We respect the intellectual property of others and expect users to do the same. If you believe, in good faith, that any material provided on the platform infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, send your request through our contact information with the following information:

12. Disclaimer of warranties

Due to the nature of the Internet, Vebulo provides and maintains the platform "as is" and "as available" and does not promise that use of the platform will be uninterrupted or error-free. We will not be liable to you or any third party if we are unable to provide our platform and services for any reason beyond our control. Our platform may from time to time contain links to other platforms that are not under our control and are not maintained by us. These links are provided solely for your convenience, and we are not responsible for the content of those sites.

Except as provided above, we can give no other warranties, conditions, or other terms, express or implied, statutory or otherwise, and all such terms are excluded to the maximum extent permitted by law. You will be responsible for any breach of these terms by you, and if you use the platform in breach of these terms, you will be liable to and will reimburse Vebulo for any loss or damage caused as a result. Vebulo shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations under this document where such failure is due to any unforeseen event beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, Internet outages, communications outages, fire, flood, war, or force majeure. These conditions do not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.

Subject to the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Vebulo excludes liability for any loss or damage of any kind arising, including without limitation any direct, indirect, or consequential loss, and shall have no liability to pay any money by way of compensation, including without limitation all liability in relation to:

• Any incorrect or inaccurate information on the platform.
• The infringement by any person of any intellectual property right of any third party caused by their use of the platform.
• Any loss or damage resulting from your use of or inability to use the platform or resulting from unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data in circumstances beyond our control.
• Any loss of profit, wasted expenditure, corruption or destruction of data, or any other loss that does not arise directly from something we have done wrong.
• Any amount or kind of loss or damage due to viruses or other malicious software that may infect a user's computer equipment, software, data, or other property caused by persons accessing or using content from the platform or from transmissions via emails or attachments received from Vebulo.
• All representations, warranties, conditions, and other terms that, but for this notice, would have effect.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend and indemnify Vebulo and its operator from and against any claims, causes of action, demands, recoveries, losses, damages, fines, penalties, or other costs or expenses of any kind or nature, including but not limited to reasonable legal and accounting fees, brought by third parties as a result of:

• Your breach of this agreement or the documents referenced in it.
• Your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.
• Your use of our platform and services.

14. Electronic communications

Vebulo accepts no responsibility for failed, partial, or garbled computer transmissions, for any breakdown, failure, connection, or availability of computer, telephone, cable, network, electronic, or Internet hardware or software, for the acts or omissions of any service provider, for Internet accessibility or availability, or for traffic congestion or any unauthorized human act, including any error or mistake.

15. Changes

We may modify the platform and these terms at any time, at our sole discretion and without prior notice. You are responsible for staying informed about these terms. Your continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of any change to these terms, and any change supersedes all previous versions of the terms. Unless otherwise specified in this document, all changes to these terms apply to all users from the date they take effect.

16. Personal data

Any personal information you submit in connection with your use of the platform is used in accordance with our privacy policy. Please refer to our privacy policy.

17. Entire agreement

This agreement, together with the privacy policy and any other legal notices published by Vebulo, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Vebulo and governs your use of the platform.

18. Severability

If any section of these terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired. Our failure or delay in enforcing any provision of these terms at any time does not waive our right to enforce the same or any other provision in the future.

19. Force majeure

Vebulo shall not be liable for any failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, acts of civil authorities, acts of military authorities, riots, embargoes, acts of nature, and natural disasters, and other acts that may be due to unforeseen circumstances.

20. Termination

Both you and Vebulo acknowledge that failure to comply with these terms and conditions may result in termination of the agreement between the parties.

In case of breach by you: if you breach any of the terms set out in these conditions, we reserve the right to unilaterally cancel your access to and use of the platform. We may take this measure without prior notice, and you will automatically lose all rights to access and use the platform. We will not be liable for any loss of data or information associated with your account.

In case of breach by Vebulo: if we fail to comply with our obligations under the agreed terms and conditions, you are entitled to terminate the agreement and stop using the platform. You shall notify us in writing of the breach and grant a reasonable period to remedy the situation. If the breach is not remedied within the established period, you may proceed to terminate the agreement. Termination of the agreement shall not release either party from obligations and liabilities that arose before the termination date.

21. Disputes

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising between a user and Vebulo in connection with these terms and conditions and the use of the platform shall preferably be resolved through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, including mediation and arbitration, as detailed below.

First, both parties agree to make every effort to resolve any dispute informally. This includes direct communication between the parties involved to identify and address concerns or disagreements quickly and efficiently. You may contact Vebulo through the contact information to raise any dispute. We commit to responding within a reasonable time, providing the opportunity to resolve the issue without resorting to formal proceedings.

If the parties fail to resolve the dispute informally within thirty (30) days of the initial notification of the dispute, the dispute shall be submitted to mediation. Mediation shall be conducted before a neutral mediator selected by mutual agreement of the parties. If the parties fail to agree on a mediator within an additional fifteen (15) days, a mediator shall be appointed through a recognized mediation agency. The costs of mediation shall be shared equally between the parties, and mediation shall take place at a mutually agreed location or, if both parties agree, through a virtual platform.

If mediation does not result in a resolution satisfactory to both parties, the dispute shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with applicable commercial arbitration rules. The seat of arbitration shall be Spain. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve the dispute, including determining the applicability and validity of these dispute resolution terms. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding on both parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Nothing in this clause deprives you, as a consumer, of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence or of your right to bring proceedings before the courts or consumer authorities competent under applicable law. If you reside in the European Union, you may also use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform. This dispute resolution clause does not prevent Vebulo from seeking injunctive or equitable relief in case of infringement of intellectual property rights, misuse of the platform, or any act that may cause irreparable harm, in which case Vebulo may go directly to a court of competent jurisdiction.

22. Applicable law and jurisdiction

These terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Spain. Any dispute related to these terms shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Spanish courts, unless binding arbitration applies under the corresponding section. If you are a consumer, you also benefit from any mandatory provisions of, and the jurisdiction of the courts of, your country of residence.

23. Final provisions

Use of our platform is conditioned on acceptance of and compliance with all the terms and conditions set out. This authorization to use our services does not extend to jurisdictions where these provisions are not respected or applied. Our commitment to compliance with these terms is strictly governed by applicable laws and legal process. These terms do not restrict our ability to comply with legal or governmental requirements, including but not limited to those related to law enforcement and the use of our platform.

If any provision of these terms and conditions is declared invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by any court or competent authority, that decision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions. We reserve all rights not expressly granted in this document, at all times maintaining the protection of and respect for our intellectual property rights and prerogatives.
