Terms of Service
Welcome to Lingotwice (https://lingotwice.com). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Lingotwice website, parallel bilingual reading applications, vocabulary flashcards, audio pronunciation tools, and associated services (collectively referred to as the "Service").
By accessing or using Lingotwice, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you may not access or use the Service.
1. Description of the Service
Lingotwice is a web-based educational technology platform that facilitates language acquisition through bilingual parallel reading (the "Two-Text Method"). The platform enables users to read literature, articles, and educational materials side-by-side in two synchronized languages, look up instant contextual definitions, listen to text-to-speech pronunciation, and review vocabulary using spaced repetition.
2. Disclaimer of Warranties & Automated Translation Accuracy
DISCLAIMER FOR AUTOMATED TRANSLATIONS AND EDUCATIONAL TOOLS:
Lingotwice utilizes machine translation algorithms, artificial intelligence models, and automated linguistic databases to provide bilingual alignment, word definitions, morphological analysis, and pronunciation. While we strive for high educational quality, no automated translation system is 100% accurate, error-free, or contextually complete.
THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. LINGOTWICE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
- The accuracy, grammatical completeness, contextual nuance, or fidelity of any automated translation or AI-generated definition;
- The fitness of translations for legal, medical, academic certification, or commercial contractual purposes;
- Uninterrupted, timely, secure, or completely error-free operation of the website;
- Specific language fluency outcomes or examination scores resulting from the use of the Service.
Users are advised to cross-reference important translations with certified professional human translators or authoritative reference lexicons when precision is required.
3. Intellectual Property Rights
Our Property: All software, algorithms, user interface designs, logos, graphics, brand features, audio players, synchronization code, and original instructional articles (such as our methodology guides) displayed on Lingotwice are the exclusive property of Lingotwice and are protected by international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
Curated Sample Library: Literary works presented in our public sample library are sourced from the public domain or licensed under open educational licenses (Creative Commons). Translations created or aligned by Lingotwice are provided for personal, non-commercial educational study.
User-Imported Content: Users may import their own study texts, articles, and documents into the platform for parallel reading. You retain full ownership of any text you import. By importing text, you represent and warrant that you possess the necessary rights or fair-use permissions to process and read that content on your personal device.
4. Acceptable Use Policy
You agree not to use Lingotwice to:
- Violate any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation;

8. Modifications to the Terms
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will provide at least 14 days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect by posting a notification on our website. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
