Terms of Service

Last updated: 24 October 2026

These terms explain the rules for using Lingtone, an online service for learning English vocabulary. Lingtone is run by Eshak Mikhail, based in England, United Kingdom (“we”, “us”). By creating an account or using Lingtone, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use Lingtone.

1. Who can use Lingtone

• You must be at least 13 years old to use Lingtone or create an account.
• If you are under 18, you need permission from a parent or guardian before you buy a subscription. A parent or guardian who buys a subscription for a student is responsible for it.
• If we learn that someone under 13 has created an account, we will close it and delete their information.

2. Your account

You sign in with your Google account or with a sign-in link sent to your email address. Keep access to your email and Google account secure, because anyone who can use them can sign in to your Lingtone account. Tell us at lingtoneenglish@gmail.com if you think someone else is using your account.

3. Free and Premium

Some of Lingtone is free. Lingtone Premium is a paid subscription that unlocks every topic, every word and every quiz. We describe what is included on our pricing section. We may add, change or remove features and words over time, but we won't remove the main features of Premium during a period you have already paid for.

4. Subscriptions, payment and automatic renewal

• Premium costs $10.99 USD per month or $99 USD per year. Prices shown at checkout are final for that payment.
• Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each month or year, and you will be charged the same price again, until you cancel.
• You can cancel at any time. Use “Manage subscription” in your Lingtone account, or email lingtoneenglish@gmail.com. When you cancel, you keep Premium until the end of the period you have paid for, and you will not be charged again.
• If we ever change the price, we will email you at least 30 days before it applies to your subscription, so you can cancel first.
• Checkout is provided by Stripe. Stripe's reseller service, shown at checkout and on your receipt as “Sold through Onelink”, is the seller of record for your payment: it takes the payment, handles any sales tax or VAT, and sends your receipt. Its own terms and privacy policy also apply to your payment. We never see or store your full card details. We remain responsible for Lingtone itself and for our Refund Policy.
• If a payment fails, Premium may be paused until the payment succeeds.

5. Refunds

Our Refund Policy explains when you can get your money back. It does not affect any rights you have under consumer law.

6. Using Lingtone fairly

Lingtone is for your personal learning. You agree not to:

• copy, download in bulk, sell or republish our word lists, definitions or example sentences;
• share your account with other people or resell access to it;
• use bots or scripts to collect content, or try to get around the Premium lock;
• try to break, overload or attack the website.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these rules. If we close a paid account for a reason that is not your fault, we will refund the unused part of your subscription.

7. Our content

The Lingtone name, website, word lists, definitions and example sentences belong to us. We work hard to make our content accurate, but it is a learning aid. It may contain mistakes, and it is not a substitute for a teacher or an official exam course. If you spot a mistake, please tell us at lingtoneenglish@gmail.com.

8. Availability

We aim to keep Lingtone available at all times, but it may sometimes be unavailable for maintenance or because of problems outside our control. Pronunciation uses the voices built into your own device or browser, so how it sounds depends on your device.

9. Our responsibility to you

Nothing in these terms limits any responsibility that the law does not allow us to limit, including your rights as a consumer. Apart from that, we are not responsible for losses that were not foreseeable, and our total responsibility to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the problem happened.

10. Closing your account

You can stop using Lingtone at any time. To delete your account and your personal information, email lingtoneenglish@gmail.com from the address you use to sign in. If you have an active subscription, please cancel it first.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example when we add features or when the law changes. We will change the date at the top of this page. If a change is important, we will tell you by email or on the website before it applies to you.

12. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live elsewhere as a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live, and you can bring a claim in your local courts. If you have a problem, please email us first at lingtoneenglish@gmail.com; we will try to sort it out quickly.
