11. Termination
You may delete your account at any time from your profile page. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms or if continued provision of the Service to you would be unlawful or commercially impracticable. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (e.g., Sections 5–16) will survive.
12. Disclaimers
The Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Dr.Language, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, or agents be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the Service — even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

15. Dispute Resolution; Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Subject to Section 16, the state and federal courts located in Delaware will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes that are not subject to arbitration, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.
16. Informal Resolution & Arbitration (U.S. Users)
Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights.
Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at [email protected]. If we cannot resolve the dispute within 60 days, either party may bring a formal proceeding.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, except that small-claims-court actions and intellectual-property claims may proceed in court. The arbitration will be held in the county where you live or any other location we mutually agree to. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class action waiver. You and Dr.Language agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.
30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending us written notice to [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, account email, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out.
17. Changes to These Terms
We may modify these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we will provide reasonable notice (e.g., by email or in-product). Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
18. Miscellaneous
- Entire agreement: these Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
- Severability: if any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
- No waiver: our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
- Assignment: you may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger or acquisition.
- Force majeure: we are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
