Subscriptions

Subscription period

The Application or some parts of the Application may be available only with a paid Subscription. You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (such as daily, weekly, monthly or annually), depending on the type of Subscription plan you select when purchasing Your Subscription.

At the end of each Subscription period, Your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless You cancel it or the Company cancels it.

Subscription cancellations

You may cancel Your Subscription renewal either through Your Account settings page or by contacting the Company. You will not receive a refund for the fees You already paid for Your current Subscription period and You will be able to access the Application until the end of Your current Subscription period.

If the Subscription has been made through an In-app Purchase, You can cancel the renewal of Your Subscription with the applicable Application Store.

Billing

You shall provide the Company with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, state, zip code, telephone number, and valid payment method information.

Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, the Company will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice.

If the Subscription has been made through an In-app Purchase, all billing is handled by the applicable Application Store and is governed by such Application Store’s own terms and conditions.

Fee Changes

The Company, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of Your then-current Subscription period.

The Company will endeavor to provide You with reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give You an opportunity to terminate Your Subscription before such change becomes effective.

Your continued use of the Application after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes Your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.

Refunds

Except when required by law, paid Subscription fees are non-refundable.

Certain refund requests for Subscriptions may be considered by the Company on a case-by-case basis and granted at the sole discretion of the Company.

If the Subscription has been made through an In-app purchase, the applicable Application Store’s refund policy will apply. If You wish to request a refund, You may do so by contacting the Application Store directly.

Free Trial

On the last day of the Free Trial period, unless You cancelled Your Subscription, You will be automatically charged the applicable Subscription fees for the type of Subscription You have selected.

At any time and without notice, the Company reserves the right to (i) modify the terms and conditions of the Free Trial offer, or (ii) cancel such Free Trial offer.

Limitation of Liability

Notwithstanding any damages that You might incur, the entire liability of the Company and any of its suppliers under any provision of this Terms and Your exclusive remedy for all of the foregoing shall be limited to the lesser of the amount actually paid by You through the Application or USD$100.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Company or its suppliers be liable for any special, incidental, indirect, or consequential damages whatsoever (including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, loss of data or other information, for business interruption, for personal injury, loss of privacy arising out of or in any way related to the use of or inability to use the Application, third-party software and/or third-party hardware used with the Application, or otherwise in connection with any provision of this Terms), even if the Company or any supplier has been advised of the possibility of such damages and even if the remedy fails of its essential purpose.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or limitation of liability for incidental or consequential damages, which means that some of the above limitations may not apply. In these jurisdictions, each party’s liability will be limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

“AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” Disclaimer

The Application is provided to You “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” and with all faults and defects without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, the Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates and its and their respective licensors and service providers, expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise, with respect to the Application, including all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement, and warranties that may arise out of course of dealing, course of performance, usage or trade practice. Without limitation to the foregoing, the Company provides no warranty or undertaking, and makes no representation of any kind that the Application will meet Your requirements, achieve any intended results, be compatible or work with any other software, applications, systems or services, operate without interruption, meet any performance or reliability standards or be error free or that any errors or defects can or will be corrected.

Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Company nor any of the company’s provider makes any representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied: (i) as to the operation or availability of the Application, or the information, content, and materials or products included thereon; (ii) that the Application will be uninterrupted or error-free; (iii) as to the accuracy, reliability, or currency of any information or content provided through the Application; or (iv) that the Application, its servers, the content, or e-mails sent from or on behalf of the Company are free of viruses, scripts, trojan horses, worms, malware, timebombs or other harmful components.

THE COMPANY DOES NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY REGARDING THE OUTPUTS THAT MAY BE GENERATED FROM USE OF GENERATIVE AI FEATURES, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE FACTUAL ACCURACY OF ANY OUTPUTS OR SUITABILITY FOR YOUR USE. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF ANY GENERATIVE AI OUTPUTS IS DONE AT YOUR SOLE RISK. DUE TO THE CURRENT NATURE OF GENERATIVE TECHNOLOGY, YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON THE COMPANY’S GENERATIVE AI AS A SINGLE SOURCE OF FACTUAL INFORMATION. NO INFORMATION OR ADVICE, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM OR THROUGH THE COMPANY SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY MADE HEREIN.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain types of warranties or limitations on applicable statutory rights of a consumer, so some or all of the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to You. But in such a case the exclusions and limitations set forth in this section shall be applied to the greatest extent enforceable under applicable law.

Governing Law

The laws of the State of Delaware, USA, excluding its conflicts of law rules, shall govern this Terms and Your use of the Application. Your use of the Application may also be subject to other local, state, national, or international laws.

Disputes Resolution

If You have any concern or dispute about the Application, You agree to first try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting the Company.

THEREAFTER ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR THE APPLICATION AND SEEKING MONETARY RELIEF SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ACCORDING TO THIS SECTION.

Prior to initiating any arbitration, the party seeking arbitration (“Claimant”) must first send a written Notice of Claim to the other party (“Respondent”) by email or USPS Certified Mail. This Notice must contain the Claimant’s name, address, and contact information; the identity of counsel (if any); the nature and basis of the claim; and the specific relief sought. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Notice, the parties shall engage in at least one good-faith settlement conference by telephone or video conference. An individual party must be personally present at this settlement conference, and an entity party must be present at this settlement conference through an employee with settlement authority, though both parties may bring counsel as well. Arbitration shall be initiated only if no settlement can be reached at this settlement conference.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) according to its Consumer Arbitration Rules, Procedures for the Resolution of Disputes Through Document SubmissionConsumer Fee Schedule, and Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings(“AAA Rules”), and the provisions of this section. Where they conflict, the provisions of this section shall take precedence over any AAA Rules. If the AAA is unavailable to conduct an arbitration, the parties shall arbitrate through another mutually agreed upon organization or on an ad hoc basis according to the rules in this section. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.

If a claim is within the jurisdiction of a small claims court, either party may choose to have the case heard in the small claims court on an individual basis, instead of arbitration.

If twenty-five (25) or more similar Demands for Arbitration are filed against or on behalf of the same party or related parties, and if representation of the parties is consistent or coordinated across the cases, then the AAA’s Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings shall apply. Counsel filing twenty-five (25) or more similar Demands for Arbitration against Duolingo must comply with the AAA’s Filing Requirements for Multiple Case Filings. There shall be no class or collective arbitration, or joinder of claims, except as provided for in the AAA’s Supplementary Rules for Multiple Case Filings.

If you do not want to arbitrate disputes with the Company and you are an individual, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending an email to [email protected] within 30 days of the day you first access or use the Application.

Notwithstanding the above, either party may apply for and obtain non-monetary, injunctive remedies or urgent relief in court without engaging in any arbitration or informal dispute resolution process.
