Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the PolyRead mobile application (the "App"), provided by PolyRead ("we", "us", or "our"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or otherwise using the App, you confirm that you are at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction) and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are using the App on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Description of the Service

PolyRead is an AI-powered reading and text-to-speech application that allows you to import, scan, read, and listen to documents and to use AI-powered features such as chat, summaries, quizzes, and podcast-style narration. Features may change, be added, or be removed at any time at our discretion.

3. Accounts and Security

• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
• You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
• You must notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account or any other security breach.
• We may suspend or terminate your account if we believe you have violated these Terms.

4. Subscriptions and Payments

• Certain features of the App require a paid subscription, managed through Apple App Store, Google Play, or our subscription provider (Adapty).
• Subscription fees, billing cycles, and renewal terms are disclosed at the point of purchase.
• Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, via your app store account settings.
• Refunds are handled by the app store where the purchase was made, subject to their refund policies.
• We may change pricing or plan features with reasonable notice; changes apply to future billing cycles.

5. User Content

"User Content" means any documents, text, images, notes, or other content you upload, scan, paste, or create within the App.

• You retain all rights to your User Content.
• You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and transmit your User Content solely for the purpose of operating the App and providing its features to you (including OCR, TTS, and AI processing through third-party providers).
• You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use, upload, and process any User Content.
• We do not use your personal documents to train AI models.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Upload, scan, or transmit content you do not have the right to use, including copyrighted material, without permission.
• Use the App to generate, distribute, or store unlawful, harmful, harassing, defamatory, or infringing content.

• Interfere with or disrupt the App, its servers, or associated networks.
• Circumvent subscription, rate-limiting, or security measures.
• Use automated scripts or bots to access the App except as explicitly permitted.
• Use the App to violate any applicable law or regulation.

7. AI Features and Output

The App uses third-party AI providers (including Qwen3 and Inworld) to generate summaries, chat responses, quizzes, podcast narration, OCR output, and synthesized speech. AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or otherwise unsuitable for your intended use. You are responsible for evaluating AI output before relying on it. Do not use AI output as a substitute for professional (legal, medical, financial) advice.

8. Intellectual Property

The App, including its software, design, text, graphics, and trademarks, is owned by PolyRead and its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any right to our trademarks, logos, or branding. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved.

9. Third-Party Services

The App integrates third-party services (Google Firebase, Google Sign-In, Apple Sign-In, Inworld, Qwen3, Adapty, Firebase Cloud Messaging). Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, content, or practices of third-party services.

10. Privacy

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and share information. By using the App, you consent to the practices described in the Privacy Policy.

11. Termination

• You may stop using the App at any time and delete your account via Settings → Account → Delete Account.
• We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or that your use poses a security, legal, or reputational risk.
• Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (e.g., intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability) will continue to apply.

12. Disclaimers

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT AI OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, POLYREAD AND ITS AFFILIATES, SUPPLIERS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO US FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) USD $50.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PolyRead and its affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in any way connected with (a) your use of the App, (b) your User Content, or (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

15. Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date above and, if the changes are material, notify you within the App or by email. Your continued use of the App after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

16. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which PolyRead is established, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the App will be resolved in the competent courts of that jurisdiction, unless mandatory local law provides otherwise.
