Section 2 - Conclusion of the Contract
1. Basic principles
The Service Provider offers foreign language learning services aimed at learners (for example, students) and/or teachers.
During the term of the Contract, the Customer shall receive the simple, non-transferable and locally independent right to use the Services of the Service Provider (including learning materials and features) exclusively for private purposes. Digital distribution or dissemination is not permitted. Publication is not permitted. Commercial use is not permitted.
For teaching purposes, worksheets made available for download in PDF format may be printed out for a maximum of 30 of the Customer’s students or made available in a closed system. Sources, links, and copyright information may not be removed from the worksheets. Audio files may be played in classrooms or as part of individual instruction.
Products explicitly designed for teachers (for example, “Lingua for Teachers”) may contain special conditions with extended usage rights.
2. Free offers
Because we want to make language learning possible and accessible to many, much content and features are available for free of charge for personal use. Some of this content can be accessed without registering. Customers who wish to have access to more content and features can register a basic account. The registration of a basic account is free of charge and no costs will arise from this registration in the future. This account can be deleted at any time by the Customer or via Customer Support.
3. Paid offers
We also offer premium content, for example, additional learning materials and features. This premium content is clearly marked and can only be accessed after registering for a premium membership. To conclude a premium membership, a payment method must be selected when ordering. The premium membership is concluded by ordering and paying the premium fee.
