Agreement to Our Legal Terms
These terms and conditions apply to the Vocabloot mobile application ("Application", previously published under the name Snavo) developed by Nirmal Jeffrey Bernard Wilson ("Service Provider") as a Freemium service.
By downloading or using the Application, you automatically agree to these terms. Please read them carefully before using the Application.
Intellectual property
Unauthorized copying, modification of the Application, any part of it, or the Service Provider's trademarks is strictly prohibited. Attempts to extract the source code, translate the Application into other languages, or create derivative versions are not permitted. All trademarks, copyrights, database rights, and other intellectual property rights related to the Application remain the property of the Service Provider.
Service modifications and pricing
The Service Provider is committed to making the Application as useful and efficient as possible and reserves the right to modify the Application or charge for services at any time and for any reason. Any charges will be clearly communicated to you before they are applied.
Free tier and quota
Vocabloot can be used for free with a limited number of snaps per day, shown in the Application (with a larger one-time welcome allowance on the day of your first snap). During pre-release testing phases, the free allowance may instead be a limited lifetime number of snaps. When you reach a limit, you can wait for it to refresh or subscribe to Vocabloot Premium; words and objects you have already learned always remain accessible.
Fair Use Policy (Vocabloot Premium)
Unlimited snapping is for normal personal use. To keep Vocabloot fast and affordable for everyone, a very high daily ceiling applies to each account. The limit is designed so ordinary personal use should not normally reach it. If you ever reach it, snapping resumes the next day. Automated, scripted, or shared-account use may be limited or suspended.
Subscriptions
Vocabloot offers auto-renewing premium subscription plans — Vocabloot Premium Monthly and Vocabloot Premium Annual — that unlock unlimited snapping, subject to the Fair Use Policy above. The price for each plan is the price displayed and confirmed by the Apple App Store or Google Play at the moment of purchase; stores localize prices per country. Where an introductory first-year price is shown for the annual plan, it applies only if the store confirms you are eligible for introductory pricing; the plan renews at the standard price after the introductory period. Purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play and managed through RevenueCat, which receives your purchase tokens and an app user identifier to keep your subscription state in sync across devices.
- Billing. Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase.
- Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal at the same price within 24 hours of the end of the current period.
- Manage / cancel. Subscriptions can be managed and auto-renewal turned off in your Apple ID or Google Play account settings after purchase. Deleting the Application does not cancel an active subscription.
- Refunds. Refund requests are handled by Apple or Google per their respective store policies. Contact Apple Support or Google Play Support to request a refund.
- Free trial. If a free trial is offered, you will not be charged during the trial period. The trial converts to a paid subscription unless cancelled before the trial ends. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
- Price changes. The Service Provider may change subscription prices. You will be notified in advance in the Application, and by your app store where it notifies you of subscription price changes. Continued use after a price change constitutes acceptance.
AI-generated content
Vocabloot uses AI to identify the objects in photos you snap and to generate the corresponding word, translations, definitions, and example sentences. AI-generated content is a learning aid, not a certified or professional translation. It may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies, and should not be relied on as a substitute for professional language instruction or for any professional, legal, medical, or safety-critical purpose. The Service Provider does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose of AI-identified objects or AI-generated translations, definitions, or example sentences.
You retain all rights to the photos you snap. Your photos are processed for recognition and remain stored only on your device — the Service Provider does not claim ownership of them and does not store them on its servers. The AI-generated words, translations, definitions, and example sentences produced for you are licensed to you for personal, non-commercial learning use; the Service Provider does not claim ownership of the word cards you build from them.
Acceptable use
You agree not to use Vocabloot to:
- Submit photos containing illegal, harmful, or exploitative content for recognition;
- Use the Application through automated or scripted means, or otherwise attempt to circumvent, automate, or abuse snap quotas, fair-use limits, or rate limits;
- Share, sell, or resell your access to the Application, or pool one subscription across multiple people or devices to exceed the usage limits;
- Overload, disrupt, or attempt to defeat the operation of the service or its usage limits;
- Reverse-engineer, scrape, or attempt to extract the AI provider's models, our backend, or any non-public component of the Application.
Content moderation. To enforce these rules, photos you submit for recognition are processed through the content-safety and usage-policy systems of our AI provider (OpenAI). The Service Provider may automatically filter, refuse to process, block, or remove content that violates these rules or the provider's usage policies.
Violations may result in immediate account termination and may be reported to authorities where required by law.
Personal data and security
The Application stores and processes personal data as described in the Privacy Policy. It is your responsibility to maintain the security of your phone and access to the Application. The Service Provider strongly advises against jailbreaking or rooting your phone, as such actions could expose your phone to malware and may result in the Application not functioning correctly.
Third-party services
The Application and website use third-party services with their own terms and conditions. By using the Application, you also agree to those terms:
- Google Play Services
- Google Analytics for Firebase
- Firebase Crashlytics
- RevenueCat
- OpenAI Usage Policies
- Loops.so — waitlist email delivery (website only)
- Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise — bot protection on the waitlist form (website only)
Backups and shared wordbooks
The Application can, at your option, back up your wordbook to your own Apple iCloud or Google Drive account and restore it on a new device. Backup is off until you turn it on. Backups are stored by Apple or Google under your own account and are subject to that provider's terms, availability and storage quota; the Service Provider does not operate, host or have access to your backup and cannot recover it for you if your cloud account is unavailable, over quota, or deleted. You are responsible for keeping access to that account. The Service Provider is not liable for loss of a backup caused by your cloud provider, your account settings, or turning backup off. A restore adds words to a device and never deletes anything already on it.
You may export your wordbook as a file and share it with others, and open files others share with you. Shared files are your content and your responsibility: only share them with people you trust, and only open files from people you trust. The Service Provider is not a party to that exchange and does not receive the files.
Connectivity and device responsibility
Some functions of the Application require an active internet connection (Wi-Fi or your mobile network provider). The Service Provider cannot be held responsible if the Application does not function at full capacity due to lack of access to Wi-Fi or if you have exhausted your data allowance.
If you use the Application outside a Wi-Fi area, your mobile network provider's terms still apply. You may incur charges from your mobile provider for data usage during use, including roaming charges if you use the Application outside your home territory.
The Service Provider cannot assume responsibility for your usage of the Application — for example, ensuring your device remains charged, or that you have access to suitable lighting for camera-based features.
Limitation of liability
While the Service Provider strives to keep the Application updated and accurate, it relies on third parties (its AI provider, cloud infrastructure, and store payment processing) to deliver functionality. The Service Provider accepts no liability for any loss, direct or indirect, that you experience as a result of relying on the Application or its outputs. AI-generated content is provided "as-is" without warranty of any kind. The Service Provider is not liable for any decisions you make based on AI-identified objects, translations, definitions, or example sentences.
Updates and termination
The Service Provider may update the Application from time to time. Operating system requirements may change, and you will need to download updates to continue using the Application. The Service Provider does not guarantee that updates will always be released or remain compatible with your specific OS version. You agree to accept updates when offered.
The Service Provider may also cease providing the Application or terminate its use at any time without notice. Upon termination: (a) the rights and licenses granted to you in these terms end; (b) you must cease using the Application and delete it from your device.
Changes to these Terms
The Service Provider may periodically update these Terms and Conditions. You are advised to review this page regularly for any changes. The Service Provider will notify you of changes by posting the new Terms and Conditions on this page.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Mandatory consumer protection rights of your country of residence are unaffected.
