These terms cover what you can expect from Wordy and what Wordy expects from you. By using the service you agree to them. They're written in plain language; the goal is mutual understanding, not legal armor.
1. Who Wordy is
Wordy is a vocabulary-learning service operated by Gökhan Arlı, an independent developer. There is no parent company.
2. Your account
You need an account to use most of Wordy. To create one, you must:
- Be at least 13 years old.
- Provide an accurate email address you control.
- Choose a secure password and keep it confidential.
You're responsible for activity that happens through your account. If you suspect unauthorized access, change your password and email me.
3. Free and paid plans
Wordy has three tiers: Free, Curious, and Dedicated. Limits and prices are described on the pricing page.
Free plan
The Free plan is genuinely free. No credit card, no trial period. It includes limited monthly lookups and a single collection.
Paid plans
- Paid plans are billed monthly or yearly in advance.
- Prices are in USD. Local taxes may apply depending on your country.
- You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time from your account settings.
- When you cancel, you keep paid access until the end of your current billing cycle. There are no refunds for partial cycles.
- Yearly plans are non-refundable after 14 days of purchase. Inside 14 days, email me for a refund.
Prices and limits may change. If they do, the new prices apply only to new subscriptions and renewals — your existing subscription continues at the price you signed up for, until your next renewal.
4. How you can use Wordy
You can:
- Use Wordy for personal language learning.
- Save lookups, build collections, and run practice drills.
- Export your data anytime.
You cannot:
- Use Wordy to violate any law or someone else's rights.
- Try to abuse, overload, or reverse-engineer the service.
- Resell or sublicense access (a single account is for one person).
- Scrape definitions or audio in bulk to build a competing product.
- Use Wordy to generate or store content that is unlawful, harassing, or designed to harm minors.
5. Your content
The words you look up, the collections you build, and any data you create belong to you. Wordy stores them so the service can work, but Wordy claims no ownership.
The definitions, examples, and audio Wordy generates are produced by third-party AI (Anthropic and ElevenLabs). They're provided "as is" — they're generally good, but they can be wrong. If you spot a bad definition, please let me know.
6. Termination
You can delete your account anytime in Settings. When you do, your data is soft-deleted immediately and purged within 30 days.
I can suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, abuse the service, or fail payment after reasonable retries. Where possible I'll email you first; for clear abuse (spam, fraud, attacks on the service), I'll act immediately.
7. Disclaimer
Wordy is provided "as is" and "as available." I try hard to make it work well, but I can't guarantee it will be error-free, secure, or available 100% of the time. AI-generated definitions can be wrong; don't rely on Wordy for medical, legal, or other critical decisions.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Wordy disclaims all implied warranties (merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement).
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Wordy's total liability to you for any claim relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid in the 12 months before the claim arose, or $100, whichever is greater.
Wordy isn't liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages — including lost data, lost revenue, or downstream consequences of an AI-generated definition.
9. Changes to these terms
If I change these terms materially, I'll update the "Last updated" date at the top and email all active accounts. Continued use after a change means you accept the new terms; if you don't agree, delete your account.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute will be handled in the courts of England, unless consumer protection law in your country requires otherwise.
