Terms of Service.

The agreement between you and Lingo Service Translations when you use LingoVoice. Plain terms for a real time interpreting service.

1. About LingoVoice®

LingoVoice® is a real-time interpreting and translation platform operated by Lingo Service Translations Ltd, a company registered in Cardiff, United Kingdom. By using LingoVoice, you agree to these terms.

2. Account Registration

To use LingoVoice, you must create an account using your email address or by signing in with Google or Microsoft. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure. You must provide accurate information when registering.

3. Free Minutes

Each new account receives up to 300 free interpreting minutes when the email address is verified. These free minutes expire 30 days after verification and cannot be transferred between accounts. Existing free balances without an expiry retain their existing terms. Paid minutes never expire.

You may purchase additional minutes through our top-up packages. Paid minutes are available at the rates displayed on our pricing page. Key terms:

  • Paid minutes never expire and remain in your account until used.
  • If you belong to an organisation, your personal free minutes are used first, then the organisation's shared pool, then your own paid minutes.
  • Payments are processed securely through PCI-compliant payment processor or PayPal.
  • All prices are displayed in GBP (British Pounds).

Need a human interpreter for legal, medical or safeguarding conversations? Lingo Service books qualified interpreters at its usual rates.

5. Refund Policy

Due to the nature of the service, minutes that have been used cannot be refunded. If you have purchased minutes but not used them, you may request a refund within 14 days of purchase by contacting us at support@lingovoice.ai.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Create multiple accounts to exploit the free minutes allowance.
  • Use the service for any unlawful, harmful, or fraudulent purpose.
  • Attempt to disrupt, overload, or interfere with the service.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to extract the source code.
  • Share or redistribute translations obtained through the service for commercial purposes without permission.

We reserve the right to flag or suspend accounts that violate these terms.

7. Service Availability

We aim to provide a reliable service but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. LingoVoice may be temporarily unavailable for maintenance, updates, or due to circumstances beyond our control. We are not liable for any losses resulting from service interruptions.

8. Translation Accuracy

LingoVoice uses multiple translation providers to deliver the best possible results. However, automated translations may contain errors. We do not guarantee the accuracy of any translation. For critical communications (medical, legal, financial), we recommend verifying translations with a qualified human interpreter.
