AAA Words

Terms and Conditions

Last updated: June 29, 2026

1. Agreement to These Terms

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and IF LLC, a company organized under the laws of the State of California ("we," "us," or "our"), governing your use of:

  • the AAA Words website at https://www.aaawords.com (the "Website");
  • our AAA Words mobile application for iOS on the Apple App Store; and
  • our AAA Words mobile application for Android on Google Play

(together, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Who May Use the Service

The Service is intended for learners who want to improve their English vocabulary. You must be able to form a binding contract where you live. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only with permission of a parent or legal guardian.

The Service is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). If you are under that age, do not create an account or use the Service without appropriate parental consent where required by law.

AAA Words is designed for learners at roughly intermediate level and above. You are responsible for deciding whether the Service is appropriate for your current English ability and learning goals.

3. Description of the Service

AAA Words is an English vocabulary learning platform. Depending on how you use the Service, features may include:

  • Word and phrase lookups with leveled definitions, examples, and related content;
  • Learning modes, such as surprise discovery, review, and mixed practice;
  • Bookmarks, lists, and list sharing (including optional public share links);
  • Sentence practice and feedback using automated review of sentences you submit;
  • Text-to-speech pronunciation for supported content;
  • Points, leaderboard, and referral features when available;
  • Account settings, including learning preferences and theme choices;
  • Optional paid subscriptions (for example, Pro or Enterprise plans) with additional features described in the Service.

An account is required to use the Service. You must create an account and sign in to access vocabulary lookups, learning modes, lists, points, referrals, subscriptions, and other features described in these Terms. Features may change, expand, or be discontinued over time.

The Service is provided for educational and personal learning purposes. It is not professional, academic, legal, medical, immigration, or employment advice, and it is not a substitute for formal instruction, official exams, or qualified human judgment.

4. Accounts and Security

4.1 Registration

To use the Service, you must create an account with accurate information and keep it current. Sign-up currently uses email and password. We do not offer social sign-in (for example, Sign in with Apple or Google) at this time.

4.2 Your responsibilities

You are responsible for:

  • maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account credentials;
  • all activity that occurs under your account;
  • choosing a username that does not impersonate others, infringe rights, or violate these Terms;
  • notifying us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.

4.3 Username and public visibility

Your username may appear on the leaderboard, in referral links, and in other parts of the Service where usernames are shown. Choose a username you are comfortable displaying publicly.

4.4 Account termination by you

You may stop using the Service at any time. To request account deletion, open Profile and use the Delete tab on the Website or in the mobile app. Your account and associated data will be permanently deleted 30 days after your request is received, which gives you time to change your mind if you contacted us by mistake.

5. Free Use, Subscriptions, and Advertising

5.1 Free tier

Core vocabulary features are available free of charge, subject to these Terms and any usage limits shown in the Service (for example, daily lookup limits on the free plan).

5.2 Paid subscriptions

Paid plans such as Pro and Enterprise, if offered, are billed through Stripe and subject to Stripe's terms and policies. Pricing, billing interval, renewal, cancellation, taxes, and refunds are described at checkout, on our pricing pages, and in the Service. Failure to pay may result in downgrade or loss of paid features.

We may change plan names, features, or pricing with notice where required by law or platform rules. Changes generally apply going forward and not retroactively to completed billing periods unless stated otherwise.

5.3 Advertising

We may display advertisements on the Website or in the mobile apps (for example, through Google AdSense on the Website or Google AdMob in the apps) when those features are enabled. Advertising practices are described in our Privacy Policy. Third-party ad providers are not sponsors of the Service and are not responsible for our learning content.

5.4 Referral ad-free perks

When ads are enabled, our referral program lets you invite others using your username as a referral code. Referral perks have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged for cash or credit, and do not create any property right.

When someone you referred reaches 500 points through normal use of the Service (not merely by signing up with your code), both you and that user may receive banked ad-free days (as described in the Service, currently about five days) that each of you may activate when you choose. Signing up with a referral code alone does not grant ad-free access until that point milestone is met.

Once activated, ad-free access continues until you stop it or you run out of banked ad-free days. If you choose to stop ad-free access, it ends at the end of the current 24-hour day block in use, not immediately.

We may change referral rules, point thresholds, ad-free durations, or discontinue referral perks at any time and may revoke benefits obtained through abuse, fraud, or multiple accounts.

6. How the Service Works

6.1 Lookups and server processing

When you search for a word or phrase, request learning content, or use related features, your query and related settings (such as language or difficulty level) are sent to our servers to provide the Service.

6.2 AI-generated and cached content

If content is not already in our database or cache, we may use third-party AI service providers to generate definitions, examples, and related learning material. We also use caching services to improve performance.

6.3 Pronunciation audio

For text-to-speech, we may send text to third-party speech synthesis providers to generate audio and may store resulting audio files using cloud storage for faster playback later.

6.4 Sentence practice

When you submit sentences for usage feedback, those sentences are processed by automated systems (including AI) to generate judgments, explanations, or suggested corrections. Do not submit sensitive, confidential, or personal information in practice fields.

6.5 Account-based use

The Service requires a signed-in account. Your history, lists, points, sentence history, referral relationships, and other data are tied to your account as described in our Privacy Policy.

6.6 On-device storage

The Website and apps may store preferences and some progress on your device (for example, theme choice, sign-in token on mobile, or sentence-challenge progress). See our Privacy Policy for details.

6.7 Clipboard and sharing

If you use copy or share actions, content is placed on your device clipboard or shared through your device's normal sharing tools. We do not receive clipboard data unless you paste it into the Service.

7. User Content, Lists, and Public Sharing

You may create lists, add words and phrases, write practice sentences, submit feedback, and report content issues. You retain ownership of the original content you submit, subject to the license below.

By submitting content to the Service, you grant IF LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, display, and use that content solely to operate, improve, and provide the Service (including generating AI feedback, caching, moderation, and support).

If you set a word list to public, anyone with the share link may view that list's name, description, and items without signing in. You are solely responsible for what you choose to publish. Do not include personal, confidential, or sensitive information in public list titles, descriptions, or items.

We may remove or restrict content that violates these Terms, applicable law, or our reasonable content standards, but we are not obligated to monitor all user content.

8. Points, Leaderboard, Referrals, and Promotions

Points, badges, leaderboard rankings, referral programs, and promotional perks are offered at our discretion for engagement and fun. They have no cash value and do not create any property right. Referral perks—including any ad-free periods earned through referrals—have no monetary value and cannot be sold, transferred, or redeemed for cash.

Leaderboard displays may include usernames and point totals for selected time periods, as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not display email addresses to other users or the public on the leaderboard or elsewhere in the Service.

We may change point rules, leaderboard periods, referral benefits, or promotional offers at any time; correct errors; or revoke benefits obtained through cheating, automation, multiple accounts, fraud, or other abuse.

9. Educational Purpose and Accuracy Disclaimer

We strive to provide helpful vocabulary content, but we do not guarantee that any definition, example, pronunciation, translation, sentence judgment, point total, leaderboard position, or other information in the Service is accurate, complete, current, culturally appropriate, or suitable for your specific purpose.

You are solely responsible for how you use the Service and for verifying important information through authoritative sources when needed—for example, before exams, professional communication, publications, immigration filings, or other high-stakes uses.

AI-assisted content may contain errors, omissions, outdated usage, or inappropriate examples. Automated sentence feedback is educational only and may misjudge correct or incorrect usage.

10. Third-Party Services and Platforms

The Service relies on or interacts with third parties, including cloud hosting, database and cache providers, AI model providers, speech providers, payment processors (Stripe), email providers, and Google services (analytics, advertising, and crash reporting when enabled, as described in our Privacy Policy). We may change or replace providers over time and do not publish a vendor-by-vendor list of our internal infrastructure in these Terms.

Your use of the iOS app is also subject to Apple's applicable terms and policies. Your use of the Android app is subject to Google's applicable terms and policies. Apple and Google are not responsible for the Service or our content.

We are not responsible for third-party outages, policy changes, pricing, or content outside the Service. Links to external websites are provided for convenience only.

11. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • use the Service for any unlawful, harmful, fraudulent, harassing, or abusive purpose;
  • attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, our systems, other users' accounts, or related third-party systems;
  • scrape, crawl, harvest, or systematically extract data from the Service except as expressly permitted;
  • interfere with or disrupt the Service, including through automated abuse, overload, or attempts to bypass usage limits or security;
  • use bots, scripts, or multiple accounts to manipulate points, referrals, leaderboards, or promotions;
  • submit content that infringes others' intellectual property or privacy rights, contains malware, or includes sensitive personal data you should not share;
  • misrepresent your identity or affiliation;
  • copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or create derivative works from the Service or our content except as allowed by these Terms or applicable law;
  • remove or alter proprietary notices.

We may investigate violations and suspend, restrict, or terminate access if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or pose a risk to the Service or other users.

12. Intellectual Property

The Service—including software, design, text, graphics, logos, themes, audio, arrangement of features, and branding—is owned by IF LLC or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial learning in accordance with these Terms. "AAA Words" and related branding are our property. Third-party names and marks are the property of their respective owners.

Except for the limited license above, these Terms do not grant you any rights to our intellectual property. If you believe content in the Service infringes your rights, contact us using Section 22.

13. Ideas, Feedback, and Suggestions

From time to time, you may voluntarily send us ideas, feedback, bug reports, feature requests, or other suggestions about the Service (for example, by clicking "Get In Touch" on the Website, opening Profile and tapping the Feedback tab in the mobile app, or through other contact channels we provide). Any such material you submit will be deemed non-confidential and non-proprietary.

By submitting that material, you agree that:

  • your submissions and their contents, together with any related intellectual property rights, are assigned to IF LLC and become our sole property, without any compensation or credit owed to you;
  • we may use, reproduce, modify, publish, sublicense, and redistribute your submissions for any purpose and in any manner, on an unrestricted basis; and
  • we have no obligation to keep your submissions confidential, to review or implement them, or to compensate you for them.

This Section applies to unsolicited feedback about the Service itself. It does not change your rights or our rights regarding learning content you submit to use features within the Service, which are governed by Section 7.

14. Mobile Applications (iOS and Android)

14.1 License

Subject to these Terms and platform rules, we grant you a license to install and use the mobile app on devices you own or control, solely for personal, non-commercial learning.

14.2 Updates

We may provide updates through the App Store or Google Play. Some updates may be required for continued use or security.

14.3 App Store / Google Play

If you obtained the iOS app from Apple, these Terms are between you and IF LLC, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for the app and is not responsible for product claims relating to the app, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

Similar principles apply to distribution through Google Play to the extent required by Google's terms. You are responsible for internet access, mobile data charges, and device compatibility.

15. Privacy

Our collection and use of information is described in our Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read it. Analytics, advertising, and crash reporting apply when enabled, as stated in the Privacy Policy.

16. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT DEFINITIONS, FEEDBACK, AUDIO, POINTS, OR OTHER RESULTS WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers; in those jurisdictions, disclaimers apply to the fullest extent permitted.

17. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF LLC AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, LEARNING PROGRESS, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO IF LLC FOR USE OF THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID US DURING THAT PERIOD, THAT AMOUNT IS US $0.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (including, where applicable, liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct, or non-waivable statutory consumer rights). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted.

18. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless IF LLC and its affiliates from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your content, your misuse of the Service, your public lists, or your violation of these Terms, except to the extent caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct.

19. Changes to the Service and These Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, including features, plans, points rules, or referral perks.

We may update these Terms by posting a revised version on the Website with a new "Last updated" date. Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance, except where applicable law requires otherwise. If you do not agree to updated Terms, stop using the Service, cancel any paid subscription as described in the Service, and uninstall the mobile apps.

20. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, or remove content, if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive (including disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, intellectual property, and dispute resolution) will survive termination.

21. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California and applicable federal laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules that would apply another state's laws, except where mandatory consumer protection laws in your place of residence require otherwise.

Informal resolution

Before filing a claim, you agree to contact us using Section 22 and allow a reasonable time to try to resolve the issue informally.

Mediation

If a dispute, claim, or controversy arises out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve it through mediation administered by Community Boards, in good faith, including participation in at least one mediation session, before commencing litigation (except for small-claims matters described below).

Mediation shall be conducted through:

Community Boards
601 Van Ness Avenue, Suite 2070
San Francisco, CA 94102
Telephone: (415) 920-3820

Either party may request mediation under Community Boards' then-current rules. Mediation fees will be shared as required by those rules or as the parties otherwise agree.

Litigation; exclusive venue in San Francisco; no arbitration

If the dispute is not resolved through mediation, it shall be resolved only by litigation in courts located in San Francisco, California. You and IF LLC consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of:

  • the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco for state-law claims; and
  • the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco division (or the federal court sitting in San Francisco) for federal claims,

and agree not to bring or maintain any such lawsuit in any other court or forum, except as stated below.

No arbitration. No arbitration is required or permitted under these Terms, except where applicable law mandates arbitration for a particular claim.

Small-claims court

Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if the claim qualifies and the court has jurisdiction, including the San Francisco County Small Claims Court when applicable.

Class actions

To the maximum extent permitted by law, disputes must be brought only on an individual basis, not as a class, collective, or representative action. If that waiver is unenforceable for a claim, this dispute section may not apply to that claim.

Nothing in this Section limits rights you cannot waive under mandatory consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction.
