Terms of Service

These terms are the agreement between you and us when you use KartuLearn. We've kept them short and plain. If anything is unclear, please ask us.

Who we are

KartuLearn is made by Nathan Brosnan, a sole trader in Ireland. In these terms, "we" and "us" means Nathan Brosnan, and "you" means the person using KartuLearn.

Our Privacy Policy explains what we do with personal data. Our Credits list the work of others that KartuLearn uses.

What KartuLearn is

KartuLearn is an app for iPhone and iPad, from the App Store; Macs with Apple silicon can run it too. It has a course in the Georgian language: the alphabet, then levels A1 and A2. You can use it without an account: your progress stays on your device, and if you use iCloud, it syncs between your devices through your own iCloud account. If you make an account, with Sign in with Apple or Google, your progress and what you've bought go with it to your other devices (see "Your account", below). If you agree, the app sends us usage figures, as our Privacy Policy explains; you can say no, or change your mind in Settings, and the app works the same either way. Friends, if you use them, let you see friends' streaks, keep a shared streak and nudge each other once a day (see "Friends", below). A2 downloads from Apple by itself after you install or update the app, whether or not you've bought it, and stays locked until you do. A2's text and exercises are complete; its audio is coming in a free update.

The free part

These parts are free, with no time limit:

• the whole alphabet, with sound
• the reading test
• unit 1: five lessons, a reading and the unit test
• the placement test
• reviews of everything you've learned, for as long as you like
• Friends

There are no ads, ever.

The paid levels

You can open the rest of the course inside the app, in one of two ways:

• For life: one payment, which doesn't renew. It's €19.99 for the three months after launch, and €30 after that (the app shows the date it changes).
• Monthly: €5 a month, renewed each month until you cancel.

Either way you get every level: A1 and A2 now, and any level we add to this app later, at no extra cost. We plan to add more levels, but we can't promise when, or that we will. "For life" means we'll never take a level away from someone who bought KartuLearn for life, or ask them to pay for it again. Once the App Store has confirmed the purchase, it stays open in the app on your device for good, with or without a connection, even if KartuLearn is no longer on the App Store. It closes only if the purchase is refunded, or if the App Store, when the app reaches it, no longer has it for the Apple Account on your device.

These are the prices in Ireland. Prices vary by country, and the App Store shows yours, including VAT, before you buy.

If you're under 18, please ask a parent or guardian before you buy.

The monthly plan renews automatically at the end of each month, and Apple takes the payment from your Apple Account, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the month you've paid for ends. To cancel, open Settings on your iPhone or iPad, tap your name, then Subscriptions (on a Mac: the App Store, your name, then Subscriptions); KartuLearn's own Settings has a Manage subscription button that opens the same page (on a Mac, the App Store's). When you cancel, the levels stay open until the end of the month you've paid for. After that the free part stays, and so does everything you've learned: your progress stays on your device and carries on if you pay again.

If the monthly price changes. We may raise the monthly price only for these reasons: a rise in what it costs us to make KartuLearn (such as the voices, Apple's fees or the tools we use), a change in tax or the law, a change in exchange rates, or a large addition to the course, such as a new level. Apple tells you by email at least 30 days before a rise and, where the law or Apple's rules require it, asks you to agree. A rise never applies to a month you've already paid for. If you don't want to pay the new price, cancel before it starts; if you're asked to agree and don't, Apple ends the plan before the new price starts.

You pay through Apple. You buy KartuLearn's levels in the app, through the App Store. Your agreement for them is with us; Apple acts for us in selling them. Apple takes the payment, collects the VAT and runs the App Store's own refunds, under its Media Services Terms. We never see your payment details.

The app's licence. Apple's standard licence agreement for apps also applies to KartuLearn, between you and us. These terms add to it, and where the two differ, these terms apply. In particular, the law that applies, and our responsibility to you, are as these terms say.

Family Sharing is on. If someone in your Family Sharing group buys KartuLearn for life or pays monthly, you can use it too, while you're both in the group.

Restore purchases. On a new device, or after reinstalling the app, tap Restore purchases in Settings. The app asks the App Store for everything bought with your Apple Account.

Purchases are checked on your device, so they work without a connection. A lifetime purchase stays open with no connection for good. The monthly plan stays open with no connection for 30 days after the app last reached the App Store; when it reaches it again, the plan opens again at once. The monthly plan also needs a connection to see that it has renewed: with none, it carries on for three days past its renewal date.

Cancelling and refunds

Changing your mind within 14 days. If you live in the EU or the EEA, the law usually lets you cancel something you buy online within 14 days, without giving a reason. For App Store purchases, Apple's terms say how: in your Apple Account's Purchase History, choose the purchase, then Withdraw Transaction. You can also use Request a refund in KartuLearn's Settings, or reportaproblem.apple.com. For the monthly plan, this covers your first month, not later renewals.

For digital content you get straight away, like the levels in the app, the right to cancel ends once you start getting it, but only if, when you bought, you asked for it to start straight away and accepted that you'd lose the right. Whether you did depends on Apple's purchase screens.

Cancelling the monthly plan stops the next payment. It doesn't refund the month you're in, unless you're cancelling within 14 days of first subscribing, as above, or something is wrong with KartuLearn (see "Your legal rights").

Other refunds are Apple's decision, under its own terms, which may give you more than the law requires.

Your legal rights

If you're a consumer, the law protects you, and nothing in these terms affects your legal rights.

Under Ireland's Consumer Rights Act 2022, digital content you pay for must:

• match its description
• be fit for its purpose and of the quality you'd reasonably expect
• get the updates it needs to keep working as it should, for as long as you'd reasonably expect

If it doesn't, you can ask for it to be fixed. If it can't be fixed, or isn't fixed within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience to you, you may be entitled to a price reduction or, unless the fault is minor, your money back. Please tell us at kartulearn@nathanbrosnan.com, so we can fix it. If you're owed money back, you can ask Apple with Request a refund in Settings or at reportaproblem.apple.com. If Apple doesn't refund you for a fault we couldn't put right, we will, within 14 days of your asking us.

You can read more about your rights on the website of the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission.

The course

We work hard to get the Georgian right, but the course may still contain mistakes. If you find one, please tell us: tap Report a mistake in the app.

The voices you hear are AI-generated (synthetic), made with ElevenLabs, except the letters of the alphabet, which a native Georgian speaker recorded. The app says so.

The level names A1 and A2 come from the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). They describe what the course aims to cover. KartuLearn is not a qualification or a certificate, and we don't promise any exam result.

Changes to KartuLearn

Some changes keep KartuLearn working and correct: putting right mistakes in the Georgian, and updates for new versions of iOS, iPadOS and macOS. Beyond those, we may change the app or the course only for these reasons: to improve how it teaches, to replace a voice or a recording we can no longer use (for example when a voice provider retires a voice), to take out something we no longer have the right to use, for security, or because the law or Apple's rules change. A change never costs you anything.

If a change makes your access to KartuLearn, or your use of it, worse in more than a minor way, we'll tell you beforehand, and you may end the contract free of charge within 30 days of being told or of the change, whichever is later. Email us, and we'll refund you: for the monthly plan, the part of the month you won't use; for a lifetime purchase, the full price you paid.

Using KartuLearn fairly

KartuLearn is for your own personal, non-commercial learning. Please don't:

• copy, scrape, extract or republish the course, or its text, audio, pictures or exercises
• use the course's text or audio to train an AI model
• sell or rent access to KartuLearn
• unlock paid levels without buying them, or get around the app's security
• reverse engineer the app, except as far as the law allows
• use KartuLearn to break the law

Your account

An account is optional and free. You make one by signing in with Apple or Google, and it's for one person: you. Keep your Apple or Google sign-in to yourself, since anyone who has it can use your account.

• Your progress and the record of what you've bought go with the account to your other devices.
• What you buy is still bought from the App Store, under "The paid levels" above. The account only carries a record of it, so deleting the account takes nothing you bought away, and Restore purchases works as before. A purchase can be on one account at a time.
• You can download what your account keeps, or delete the account at once, in the app's Settings under Account.
• The account needs a connection, and our server. We'll do our best to keep it running, but it may sometimes be unavailable: your progress waits on your device and syncs once it's back, and the rest of the app works without it.
• We may close an account that's used against these terms (see "Using KartuLearn fairly"), and we'll tell you why where we can.

Friends

Friends is optional. You add a friend with an invitation link, which works once, for the first person who opens it, within a week. You can have up to 20 friends. You and your friends see each other's names and streaks, and a shared streak, which grows on the days you both practise. You can nudge each friend once a day, while their day isn't kept yet; a nudge sent in their night waits until 8am their time. A missed day of a shared streak can be saved, the day after it, by either of you spending one of your own streak freezes.

• Your name for friends is seen by all your friends. Choose one that's yours to use, and nothing offensive, misleading or someone else's. The app refuses links, phone numbers, rude words and names that pass for KartuLearn. You can change it in the Friends screen.
• Removing a friend ends the friendship; either of you can invite the other again. Blocking someone ends it too, and no invitation between you can be accepted until you unblock them; they aren't told. You can also block whoever sent you an invitation you don't want. The people you've blocked are listed at the foot of the Friends screen, where you can unblock them.
• Report this name tells us a friend's name is offensive or pretends to be someone. We look at every report. A name two people report is taken away at once, and its owner chooses another.
• Friends need a connection, and our friends server. We'll do our best to keep it running, but it may sometimes be unavailable; the rest of the app works without it. Friends play no part in your level or in what opens.
• We may remove a name, or end someone's use of Friends, if they break these terms.

Who owns what

The course's text, audio, pictures and exercises, the map and its artwork, and the app's code are ours or used by us with permission, apart from the works of others named in the Credits. Using KartuLearn doesn't make any of it yours.

The Credits list the work of others that we use, and the licences it comes under. Some of it is open source, and its own licence gives you rights in it.

Reports and ideas you send us

If you send us a report, a correction or an idea, we may use it to fix and improve KartuLearn, without paying you. Please don't put private or sensitive information in it. The Privacy Policy says what we do with the emails you send us.

Our responsibility to you

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that Irish law doesn't allow us to limit or exclude.

If we break these terms, we're responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach. Loss is foreseeable if it was obvious that it would happen, or if you and we both knew it might happen when you started using KartuLearn or, for something you bought, when you bought it.

KartuLearn is for personal use. If you use it for business, we're not responsible for business losses, such as lost profit, lost business or lost opportunity.

Changes to these terms

We may change these terms only for these reasons: a change in the law or in a regulator's guidance, a change in Apple's rules for the App Store, a change in what KartuLearn offers (such as a new level or feature), or to make them clearer or put right a mistake. New terms come with an app update, and the date at the top changes. If a change matters to you, we'll say so in the update's notes on the App Store before it applies. If you don't agree, you can stop using KartuLearn and cancel the monthly plan; for the monthly plan, a change that's worse for you applies only from your next renewal.

A change to these terms won't take away a level you've already bought, or change a price you've already paid.

If KartuLearn stops

If we ever stop offering KartuLearn, we'll say so in an app update at least three months before. The monthly plan then ends, and you won't be charged again. If you bought KartuLearn for life, the app and every level you have keep working on your device, with no connection needed.

The law that applies

These terms are governed by the law of Ireland.

If you're a consumer living elsewhere in the EU or the EEA, you also keep the protections of your own country's law that can't be set aside by agreement. You can bring a claim in the courts where you live, as well as in Ireland.

If something goes wrong, please contact us first at kartulearn@nathanbrosnan.com. We'll do our best to put it right. If you live in another EU country and we can't settle it between us, the European Consumer Centre Ireland can help.
