Terms of Use

Last updated: 18 November 2025

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the FRANCELY mobile application (the “App”) and any related website or services (collectively, the “Service”) provided by App Tricks Studio (“we”, “us”, or “our”).

By downloading, accessing, or using FRANCELY, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You may use FRANCELY only if:

  • You are at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction, or you have the consent of a parent or legal guardian, and
  • You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.

If you are using the Service on behalf of another person or entity, you represent that you are authorized to do so and that you agree to these Terms on their behalf.

2. Description of the Service

FRANCELY is a language-learning application designed to help users learn French through lessons, exercises, and audio content.

We may update, modify, or discontinue parts of the Service at any time, with or without notice, as long as this does not materially violate applicable law or your paid rights.

3. Account Registration

To access some features of the Service, you may need to create an account.

You agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information
  • Keep your login credentials secure and confidential
  • Notify us promptly at thibault@apptricksstudio.com if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if we believe you have violated these Terms or applicable laws.

4. Subscriptions, Purchases, and Billing

4.1 In-App Purchases

FRANCELY may offer paid features, subscriptions, or one-time purchases processed through:

  • Apple App Store in-app purchases

All purchases are processed by the platform provider, not directly by us. Your billing relationship is primarily with Apple, and their terms and payment policies apply.

4.2 Subscription Terms

If you purchase a subscription:

  • Your subscription may automatically renew at the end of each billing period (for example, weekly, monthly, or yearly), unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
  • The renewal will be charged to your Apple ID account at the price displayed in the App at the time of purchase or renewal (unless changed by Apple or us, in which case updated pricing will be displayed before renewal).

You can manage and cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings.

4.3 Free Trials

From time to time, we may offer free trials for a limited period.

  • At the end of the trial, the subscription may automatically convert to a paid subscription unless you cancel before the trial ends.
  • Eligibility for free trials may vary and is determined by us and/or the platform provider.

4.4 Refunds

Refunds for in-app purchases and subscriptions are generally handled by the platform provider (for example, Apple).

You must contact Apple Support (or the relevant platform) to request refunds, in accordance with their policies.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we do not provide direct refunds for purchases made through app stores.

    • (b) fifty euros (€50).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain liabilities, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.

  • We decide to discontinue the Service (where reasonably possible, we will provide notice)

You may stop using the Service at any time and, if applicable, delete the App from your device.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination (such as Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Governing Law, and Indemnification) will remain in effect after termination.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time.

  • When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
  • In case of material changes, we may notify you via the App or through other reasonable means.
