1. Purpose and Scope

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") set forth the rights, obligations, and responsibilities between Everyground Co., Ltd. (the "Company") and members regarding use of the Listen Repeat web/mobile service.

Users who agree to the Terms may use the app, website, API, and all services, and these Terms and relevant laws apply.

2. Definitions

Key terms used in these Terms are as follows.

  • "Service": all functions and services provided by the Company, including the audio player, wordbooks, script tools, AI-based audio script extraction, cloud storage, Librivox audiobooks, etc.
  • "Member": a user who agrees to the Terms and creates an account through the Company's process.
  • "Content": audio files, AI transcription results, wordbooks, notes, shared links, and all materials uploaded or created by Members and provided by the Service.
  • "Cloud Materials": audio, documents, and wordbook data stored in the Service storage space.
  • "Paid Services": any add-on services used in exchange for payment such as monthly or annual subscriptions.

3. Effect and Changes to the Terms

The Company posts these Terms on the initial or linked screens of the Service and may amend them for reasonable reasons within the limits of applicable law.

When changing the Terms, the Company will announce the effective date and reason at least 7 days in advance (30 days for material or adverse changes). If a Member does not expressly refuse or continues to use the Service, they are deemed to agree.

If a Member does not agree to the amended Terms, the Company may terminate the contract and proceed with account deletion and data removal.

4. Registration, Withdrawal, and Account Management

A Listen Repeat account is created with a single email address, and Members must provide accurate, up-to-date information. If another person's email or false information is used, the Company may restrict use.

Members must keep their account and password secure and notify the Company immediately of loss or misuse. The Company is not liable for damages caused by the Member's intent or negligence.

Upon account deletion, all member information and cloud materials are deleted without delay except for data required by law, and such data cannot be recovered.

5. Provision of the Service

The Company provides the following features for learning convenience.

The Company may add or change features to improve service quality and may suspend or terminate some services temporarily due to technical or operational reasons.

  • User interface and playback controls optimized for listening study
  • TTS-based learning tools that read wordbooks aloud
  • AI-based script extraction from audio files
  • Cloud storage to store and manage audio and learning materials
  • Wordbook cloud storage and sharing
  • Free public audiobooks (Librivox)
  • Ad display to support ongoing service operation

6. Paid Subscriptions and Billing

Listen Repeat offers monthly and annual subscriptions that provide extra storage, premium features, and more. Prices, benefits, and renewal cycles are shown on the payment screen and will be announced in advance if changed.

In-app purchases use the Google Play Store and Apple App Store payment systems; the Company does not collect or store payment details such as card numbers.

Refunds and withdrawal requests follow each app store's policies and must be submitted through the store's support. If the Company provides additional benefits and the conditions are not met, benefits may be revoked or restricted.

7. Content and Intellectual Property Rights

The Service and its text, UI, software, logos, designs, and more are protected by intellectual property rights of the Company or rightful owners. Members may not reproduce, distribute, or modify them without prior consent.

Rights to content uploaded or created by Members belong to the Members in principle, and Members permit the Company to store, back up, analyze, process with AI, and transmit such content as necessary to provide the Service.

Members must ensure that shared audio, documents, and wordbooks do not infringe third-party copyrights or privacy. Members bear civil and criminal liability for infringement. The Company may hide or delete content upon valid notice.

8. Cloud Storage and Sharing Policy

Materials uploaded to cloud storage are accessible only to the Member, and only explicitly shared links or invited users can view them.

The Service takes reasonable security measures, but data may be damaged due to network issues or device errors. We recommend backing up important materials separately.

Upon account deletion or share revocation, related cloud materials and links are deleted immediately and cannot be recovered. If laws require retention, minimal information is stored for that period.

9. Ads and External Content

The Company may display banners, videos, and partner ads. Members understand that ads may be shown during service use.

Free audiobooks and partner content from external sources (e.g., Librivox) are subject to the provider's terms, and the Company does not guarantee accuracy, legality, or safety.

If a Member navigates to third-party services through ads or external links, a separate contract is formed and the Company is not liable for any loss.

10. Restrictions and Suspension of Service

If a Member violates laws or these Terms or harms service stability, the Company may take measures such as suspension, data deletion, or termination after notice. In urgent cases, measures may be taken first with notice afterward.

The Service may be temporarily suspended due to regular maintenance, equipment repairs, server expansion, communication failures, or natural disasters. The Company will provide notice when possible.

The Company is not liable for damages from suspension unless caused by the Company's intent or gross negligence.

11. Limitation of Liability

The Company is not liable for service disruptions caused by the Member's fault, unstable networks, device errors, or third-party use of accounts without notice.

AI transcription, speech synthesis, recommendations, and other outputs may vary in accuracy due to technical limits, and the Company does not guarantee completeness or fitness for a particular purpose.

The Company is not liable for indirect or incidental damages to the extent permitted by law, and is liable for direct damages caused by intent or gross negligence within the ordinary scope.

12. Privacy, Notices, and Governing Law

The Company complies with privacy laws and processes personal data as described in the Privacy Policy. Details are available on the Privacy Policy page. View Privacy Policy
