Last Updated: 14 May, 2025

Welcome to SpeakPrac! These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the SpeakPrac mobile application and web application (collectively, the “App” or “Service”), provided by Speakada LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”).

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE APP, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT USE THE APP.

1. Description of Service

SpeakPrac is an application designed to help English learners practice their speaking skills. Key features include:

  • Simulated IELTS speaking tests with timers and topics.
  • Ability to practice speaking on custom topics.
  • Recording, storage, and organization of user speeches (“Recordings”).
  • AI-powered automatic transcription of Recordings.
  • AI-powered generation of speech fluency metrics (e.g., WPM, PHW, Pause Duration).
  • AI-powered grading of Recordings based on IELTS Bands and CEFR Levels.
  • AI-powered generation of suggested improved versions of user speeches.
  • Feedback tailored to specific English variations (US, UK, AU, CA).
  • A speaking scheduler with reminders.
  • An optional “Community Mode” for sharing Recordings and profiles for feedback and motivation.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction to consent to use online services) to use SpeakPrac. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.

3. Accounts and Registration

  • Account Creation: To access most features, you must register for an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update such information to keep it accurate.
  • Account Security: You are responsible for safeguarding your account password and for any activities or actions under your account. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this security obligation.
  • Verification: We may require you to verify your account (e.g., via email) for security purposes.

4. User Content and Recordings

  • Your Content: You retain ownership of the content you create and upload to the App, including your audio Recordings and profile information (“User Content”).
  • License to Us: By using the App, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, process, store, reproduce, modify (e.g., for transcription and AI analysis), display, and distribute your User Content solely for the purposes of operating, developing, providing, and improving SpeakPrac and its features. This includes processing your Recordings through our own systems and third-party AI service providers to generate transcripts, metrics, scores, and feedback.
  • Responsibility: You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting or publishing it. You represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to grant the licenses herein and that your User Content does not infringe upon the rights of any third party.

5. Community Mode

  • Opt-In: SpeakPrac offers an optional “Community Mode.” Participation is entirely voluntary. You must explicitly opt-in to enable this feature, typically through a clear prompt or setting within the App.
  • Public Sharing: By enabling Community Mode, you understand and agree that certain User Content, including selected Recordings, your display name, profile picture (if provided), general location (e.g., country), and progress metrics (like average scores), may be made publicly available within the SpeakPrac community features and potentially shared by us on other public media (such as social media, our website, or promotional materials) for the purposes of:
    • Allowing other users and designated English experts to provide feedback on your shared Recordings.
    • Sharing your progress and learning journey to motivate others.
    • Showcasing user success stories.
  • License for Community Mode: If you enable Community Mode, you grant us an additional, broader license to your specifically shared User Content (the Recordings, profile elements, and progress you choose to make public via this mode). This license is worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, and allows us to publicly display, perform, distribute, and reproduce that shared content in connection with the Community Mode and related promotional activities for SpeakPrac.
  • Control: You can typically disable Community Mode at any time through your App settings. Disabling the mode will stop future public sharing of your content through this feature, but it may not remove content that has already been shared, cached, archived, or copied by others.
  • Responsibility: You are responsible for the content you choose to share in Community Mode. Do not share content that is illegal, offensive, infringing, or violates these Terms. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor or remove content shared in Community Mode.

6. SpeakPrac Content and Intellectual Property

  • Our Content: The App and its original content (excluding User Content), features, functionality, design, text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips (excluding user recordings), software (including the underlying code and AI models/algorithms developed or licensed by us), and data compilations are and will remain the exclusive property of Speakada LLC and its licensors. The App is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of the United States and foreign countries.
  • Limited License to You: We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the App solely for your personal, non-commercial English learning purposes, subject to these Terms.

7. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to engage in any of the following prohibited activities:

  • Using the App for any illegal purpose or in violation of any law.
  • Violating or encouraging others to violate third-party rights, including intellectual property rights.
  • Posting unlawful, defamatory, libelous, inaccurate, objectionable, profane, indecent, pornographic, harassing, threatening, hateful, or otherwise inappropriate User Content.
  • Interfering with security features of the App.
  • Interfering with the App’s operation (e.g., uploading viruses, spamming).
  • Attempting to compromise system integrity or security.
  • Attempting to reverse engineer, decompile, or discover the source code (except as permitted by law).
  • Using automated systems (bots, spiders) to access the App excessively.

8. AI Feedback and Accuracy

You acknowledge that the transcriptions, metrics, scores (IELTS/CEFR), and improved speech suggestions provided by the App are generated by artificial intelligence (AI). While we strive for accuracy, AI is constantly evolving, and the feedback provided:

  • Is an estimation and may not perfectly reflect official IELTS/CEFR scoring.
  • May occasionally contain inaccuracies or errors.
  • Should be used as a learning tool and guide, not as a definitive assessment.
  • We are not liable for any inaccuracies in the AI-generated feedback.

9. Payments, Subscriptions, and Free Trials (SpeakPrac Pro)

We offer enhanced features and functionality through our premium subscription plan, “SpeakPrac Pro.” This section outlines the terms related to payments, subscriptions, and any free trials we may offer.

9.1 Free Trials

  • Offer: From time to time, we may offer a Free Trial subscription for SpeakPrac Pro (“Free Trial”). The specific duration of the Free Trial (e.g., 7 days) and the features included will be specified at the time you sign up for the offer.
  • Eligibility: Free Trials are generally available to new users or as otherwise determined by us at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to determine Free Trial eligibility and to withdraw or modify a Free Trial offer at any time without prior notice and with no liability, to the extent permitted under applicable law. Each user is typically entitled to only one Free Trial.
  • Payment Information: To start a Free Trial, you may be required to provide your payment details (e.g., via Google Play or Stripe, depending on your platform). Providing these details authorizes our payment processor to verify your payment method, and you agree that if you do not cancel before the end of the Free Trial, we (or our third-party payment processor) will automatically begin charging you for SpeakPrac Pro on a recurring basis for the subscription plan (e.g., monthly or yearly) you selected. The first charge will occur on the first day following the end of the Free Trial period.
  • AUTOMATIC CONVERSION AND BILLING AFTER TRIAL: UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PRIOR TO THE END OF THE FREE TRIAL PERIOD, YOUR FREE TRIAL WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONVERT TO A PAID SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE SPEAKPRAC PRO PLAN YOU SELECTED (E.G., MONTHLY OR YEARLY). ON THE FIRST DAY FOLLOWING THE END OF THE FREE TRIAL PERIOD, YOUR DESIGNATED PAYMENT METHOD WILL BE CHARGED THE THEN-APPLICABLE RECURRING SUBSCRIPTION FEE FOR THE CHOSEN PLAN.
  • How to Avoid Charges: TO AVOID BEING CHARGED THE SUBSCRIPTION FEE, YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS WITHIN THE APP OR VIA THE RELEVANT PLATFORM’S SUBSCRIPTION MANAGEMENT (E.G., GOOGLE PLAY STORE, OR OUR WEBSITE FOR STRIPE SUBSCRIPTIONS) BEFORE THE FREE TRIAL PERIOD ENDS.
  • Cancellation During Free Trial: If you cancel your subscription during the Free Trial period, you will continue to have access to SpeakPrac Pro features until the end of the Free Trial period. After the Free Trial period ends, your access to SpeakPrac Pro features will cease, unless you separately purchase a subscription.

9.2 Subscription Plans

  • Features and Pricing: Details of current SpeakPrac Pro subscription plans, their features, and pricing are available within the App or on our website. We reserve the right to modify features and pricing for our subscription plans with reasonable notice.
  • Billing Cycle: Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (e.g., monthly, yearly) as selected by you at the time of purchase or at the initiation of a Free Trial.

9.3 Billing and Payment

  • Authorization: By purchasing a subscription or initiating a Free Trial that converts to a paid subscription, you authorize us (or our third-party payment processors like Google Play or Stripe) to charge your chosen payment method for the applicable subscription fees on a recurring basis.
  • Payment Processors: Payments are processed through third-party services (e.g., Google Play Store for Android, Stripe for Web). Your payment information is provided directly to the payment processor, whose use of your personal information is governed by their privacy policy. We do not store your full credit card number.
  • Payment Failures: If your payment method fails, we may suspend your access to SpeakPrac Pro features until payment is successfully processed.

9.4 Automatic Renewal

  • YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO SPEAKPRAC PRO WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW AT THE END OF EACH SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD (E.G., MONTHLY OR YEARLY) UNLESS YOU CANCEL IT BEFORE THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD. You authorize us to collect the then-applicable subscription fee using any payment method we have on record for you.

9.5 Cancellation

  • How to Cancel: You can cancel your SpeakPrac Pro subscription at any time through your account settings within the App or through the platform you used to subscribe (e.g., Google Play Store settings for Android subscriptions, or your account on our website for Stripe subscriptions).
  • Effect of Cancellation: If you cancel your paid subscription, the cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period. You will continue to have access to SpeakPrac Pro features until the end of that period. We do not provide refunds or credits for any partial subscription periods (see Section 9.6 below).

9.6 Refunds

  • GENERAL POLICY: ALL SUBSCRIPTION FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AS EXPLICITLY STATED IN THESE TERMS. We do not provide refunds or credits for any partial subscription periods or unused services.
  • Exceptions: Any exceptions to this policy will be at our sole discretion. If you believe you are entitled to a refund, please contact our support team.

9.7 Price Changes

  • We reserve the right to change our subscription fees for SpeakPrac Pro from time to time. We will provide you with reasonable prior notice of any price changes by posting the new prices on the App or by sending you an email notification. If you do not agree to the price change, you must cancel your subscription before the change takes effect. Your continued use of SpeakPrac Pro after the price change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified subscription fee.

10. Third-Party Services

The App uses and may contain links to third-party websites or services (e.g., AI providers, authentication services, payment processors) that are not owned or controlled by us. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party services. Your use of third-party services is subject to their respective terms and policies.

11. Termination

  • By You: You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us or using account deletion features within the App (if available).
  • By Us: We may suspend or terminate your access to the App immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the App will immediately cease. Certain provisions (e.g., ownership, disclaimers, liability limits) survive termination.

12. Disclaimers

THE APP IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. YOUR USE OF THE APP IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT THE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF THE APP (INCLUDING AI FEEDBACK) WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SPEAKADA LLC, ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA) RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF THE APP. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE APP IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Speakada LLC and its associates from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including attorney’s fees) arising from your use of the App, your breach of these Terms, or your User Content (especially content shared via Community Mode).

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

Any dispute arising from these Terms shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures then in effect. The parties agree that the arbitration will be conducted remotely whenever feasible under the applicable JAMS rules. If remote arbitration is determined by the arbitrator or JAMS to be not feasible, the arbitration hearing shall take place in Cheyenne, Laramie County, Wyoming, USA. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.

Each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. Parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue for such purposes, or for the enforcement of any arbitration award, in the state and federal courts located in Laramie County, Wyoming, USA.

16. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will provide at least 30 days’ notice. Your continued use of the App after revisions become effective means you agree to the new terms.

17. Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App. If any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right.
