Terms of Use

The agreement that governs your use of Boringua.

Effective date: 11 July 2026 · Last updated: 11 July 2026

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a legal agreement between you and Boring Project Limited, a company registered in New Zealand (“Boring Project”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), for your use of the Boringua mobile application and related services (together, the “App”). These Terms also serve as the End-User License Agreement (EULA) for the App.

By downloading, installing, or using Boringua, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, if higher) to use Boringua. By using the App you confirm that you meet this requirement. Boringua is not directed to children under 13.

2. Licence

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and use Boringua for your personal, non-commercial use on Apple or Android devices that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store and Google Play terms.

This licence is also subject to the Apple Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Standard EULA”), available at apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula. Where these Terms conflict with the Standard EULA in relation to the Apple App Store version of the App, the more protective term for the user applies; otherwise these Terms govern.

3. Things you may not do

You agree not to:

copy, modify, or create derivative works of the App;
reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense the App;
extract, scrape, or bulk-download the dictionary, audio, or course content, or use the App to build a competing dataset or service;
remove or alter any proprietary notices; or
use the App for any unlawful purpose or in breach of these Terms.

4. Your account

You can use Boringua as a guest, or create an account by signing in with Apple or Google. You are responsible for maintaining the security of the account you sign in with and for activity that happens under it. Tell us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission. You can delete your account at any time from within the App; deletion removes your synced learning data as described in our Privacy Policy.

5. Your content

Boringua lets you save words, build word lists, and record your review history and streaks (“Your Content”). Your Content belongs to you. You grant us a limited licence to store, process, and sync Your Content across your devices solely to provide the App to you. We do not sell Your Content or use it for advertising.

6. Boringua Pro subscriptions

Boringua offers an optional auto-renewing subscription (“Boringua Pro”) that unlocks additional features and content.

Billing. Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google account at confirmation of purchase. Prices are shown in the App in your local currency before you buy.
Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
Managing and cancelling. You manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID or Google Play account settings, not within Boringua.
Free trials. If a free trial is offered, it converts to a paid subscription unless you cancel before the trial ends. Any unused portion of a trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
Refunds. Purchases are processed by Apple or Google. Refund requests are handled by them — for Apple, see reportaproblem.apple.com. We cannot issue store refunds directly.

Subscription entitlements are administered on our behalf by RevenueCat. See the Privacy Policy for details.

7. Intellectual property

The App — including its software, design, branding, and its dictionary, audio, and course content — is owned by Boring Project Limited or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms grant you no ownership rights. Feedback or suggestions you send us may be used without any obligation to you.

8. Third-party services

Boringua relies on third-party services (for example, Apple and Google for sign-in and payments, RevenueCat for subscriptions, and Sentry for error diagnostics). Your use of those services is also subject to their own terms. The open-source components bundled in the App are listed, with their licences, in the App’s Acknowledgements screen.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, OR THAT LANGUAGE CONTENT WILL BE COMPLETE OR ACCURATE. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have as a consumer under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or other mandatory consumer law that cannot be excluded.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORING PROJECT LIMITED WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE APP WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR NZ$50.

11. Termination

You may stop using Boringua and delete the App at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you breach these Terms or if we discontinue the App. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, and limitation of liability — survive.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the App. Your continued use of Boringua after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand, and you and Boring Project Limited submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts. This does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live.
