Last updated: 2026-08-20 · Effective date: 2026-08-20
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) form a binding agreement between you andLight Nova Design Co., Ltd.(光辰設計有限公司)(“we,” “our,” or “us”) governing your use of the LingoWeb Multilingual Browser mobile application (the “App”). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
本服務條款構成您與光辰設計有限公司之間就 LingoWeb 多語言瀏覽器行動應用程式所訂立之契約。您下載、安裝或使用本 App 即表示同意本條款;若不同意,請勿使用本 App。
1. The Service
The App is a web browser with built-in translation features. It lets you browse websites, translate page content into a target language you choose, display bilingual or translated-only text, look up selected text, and maintain a personal dictionary. Translation is performed by a third-party translation service (currently Google Translate), as described in our Privacy Policy.
2. Eligibility and Age
The App provides unrestricted access to the open web and is rated for mature audiences. You must be at least 17 years old, or the age of digital consent in your country of residence if that age is higher, to use the App. If you are under that age, you may use the App only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who accepts these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use of the App. We do not knowingly permit use of the App by children under 13.
3. Licence
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App on any Apple-branded or Android device that you own or control, in accordance with the usage rules of the applicable app store. This licence does not permit you to:
- copy, modify, translate, or create derivative works of the App, except as permitted by mandatory law;
- reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by law;
- rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, or redistribute the App;
- remove or obscure any proprietary notices; or
- use the App in a way that interferes with, disrupts, or overloads any service the App connects to.
We reserve all rights not expressly granted. The App, its source code, design, and trademarks remain our property or that of our licensors.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the App:
- for any unlawful purpose, or in violation of any applicable law or regulation in your jurisdiction;
- to access, transmit, or store content that infringes the intellectual property rights of others;
- to attempt to gain unauthorized access to any website, account, network, or system;
- to submit content for translation that you are not permitted to disclose to a third-party translation provider (for example, confidential business information, credentials, or regulated personal data of others); or
- to circumvent access controls, paywalls, or usage restrictions of websites you visit.
You are solely responsible for the websites you visit and the content you submit for translation.
5. Third-Party Content and Services
The App is a browser: the websites, games, media, and other content you reach through it are provided by third parties, not by us. We do not control, endorse, verify, or assume responsibility for third-party content, and your use of it is governed by that third party’s own terms and privacy policy.
Translation is provided by a third-party service. Your use of the translation feature is additionally subject to that provider’s terms. If a third-party service changes, becomes unavailable, or restricts access, the corresponding App feature may be degraded or unavailable.
6. Translation Accuracy
Machine translation is imperfect. Translated output may contain errors, omissions, or misleading renderings, and accuracy varies by language pair, subject matter, and page structure. The App is a reading aid.Do not rely on translations produced by the App for legal, medical, financial, safety-critical, or other consequential decisionswithout independent verification by a qualified human translator or professional.
7. Your Data
Your settings, custom dictionary, browsing history, and translation cache are stored locally on your device. We do not operate servers that store your data. You are responsible for backing up any data you wish to retain, for example by using the dictionary export feature — uninstalling the App permanently deletes all locally stored data. Details are set out in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
8. Price and Availability
The App is currently offered free of charge and contains no advertising. We may change the features, pricing, or availability of the App, or discontinue it entirely, at any time. If we introduce paid features in the future, they will be clearly disclosed and billed through the applicable app store, subject to that store’s payment and refund policies. We do not process payments directly and cannot issue refunds for app store purchases; refund requests must be directed to Apple or Google.
9. Updates
We may release updates that add, change, or remove features. Some updates may be required for the App to continue functioning. We do not guarantee support for older App versions or older operating system versions.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided “as is” and“as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any defect will be corrected. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case, such warranties are limited to the minimum period and extent permitted by law.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to your use of or inability to use the App, including any reliance on translated content, however caused and under any theory of liability.
Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the App, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), statute, or otherwise, and whether for damages, penalties, fines, or compensation of any kind, shall in no event exceed the total amount of fees and revenue we have actually received from you for the App over the entire period of your use of it. Where the App is supplied to you free of charge, that amount is zero, and this cap applies to all claims in the aggregate rather than per claim.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. This includes, without limitation, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; and, under Article 222 of the Civil Code of the Republic of China (Taiwan), liability arising from our intentional misconduct or gross negligence. If you are a consumer, you retain all mandatory statutory rights under the consumer protection law of your country of residence — including, for consumers in Taiwan, rights under the Consumer Protection Act — and nothing in these Terms affects those rights. Where any limitation in this Section is held unenforceable, it applies to the maximum extent permitted by law rather than being disregarded in its entirety.
12. Termination
These Terms remain in effect until terminated. You may terminate them at any time by deleting the App from your devices. We may suspend or terminate your licence if you materially breach these Terms. Sections 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 14, and 16 survive termination.
13. Apple App Store — Additional Terms
The following applies if you obtained the App from the Apple App Store:
- Acknowledgement. These Terms are concluded between you and Light Nova Design Co., Ltd. only, and not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”). We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content.
- Scope of licence. The licence granted to you for the App is limited to a non-transferable licence to use the App on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules set out in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the App may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
- Maintenance and support. We are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the App. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services.
- Warranty. Light Nova Design Co., Ltd. is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the App to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the sole responsibility of Light Nova Design Co., Ltd.
- Product claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App or your possession and use of it, including product liability claims, any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation. Nothing in these Terms limits our liability to you beyond what is permitted by applicable law.
- Intellectual property claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of any third-party intellectual property infringement claim relating to the App.
- Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App, including the terms of the translation service provider and of any website you access through the App.
- Third-party beneficiary. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
- Contact. Questions, complaints, or claims regarding the App should be directed to us at[email protected].
14. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of China (Taiwan), without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be submitted to the Taiwan Taipei District Court as the court of first instance, unless mandatory law in your country of residence grants you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts, in which case that right is unaffected. If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection afforded to you by the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence.
15. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when the current version took effect. For material changes, we will give you notice in the App at least thirty (30) days before they take effect. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you may stop using the App and uninstall it at any time, before or after they take effect; that is your only remedy in respect of the change. Non-material changes — such as clarifications or updated contact details — take effect when published.
16. General
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
