Terms of Service

Last Updated: October 8, 2023.

TranslateChat is a messaging service designed to translate all the messages you send. As a consequence, it currently does not employ end-to-end encryption. Please be aware that your messages are shared with TranslateChat and our Large Language Model ("LLM") provider to facilitate the translation process.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a contract between you and TranslateChat, governing your usage of TranslateChat's products, mobile apps, websites, services, and content (collectively referred to as "Services").

By using TranslateChat, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree to any of the Terms, you can't use TranslateChat. Do not continue to use TranslateChat if you do not agree to all of the Terms stated on this page.

We can change these Terms at any time. If a change is material, we'll let you know before they take effect. By using TranslateChat on or after that effective date, you agree to the new Terms. If you don't agree to them, you should delete your account before they take effect, otherwise your use of the Services will be subject to the new Terms.

Account Registration

To access our Services, you must register for a TranslateChat account by providing a phone number.

Content Rights & Responsibilities

You own the rights to the content you create and send using TranslateChat. You must have the necessary rights to such information that you submit for your TranslateChat account or send through our Services and the right to grant the rights and licenses in our Terms. You're responsible for the content you send or post. This means you assume all risks related to it.

To operate and provide our Services, you grant TranslateChat a worldwide, non- exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, create derivative works of, display, and perform the information (including the content) that you upload, submit, store, send, or receive on or through TranslateChat's Service. You grant this right for the limited purpose of operating and providing our Services (such as to allow us to display a profile picture, transmit a message, and store your unencrypted undelivered messages on our servers as we try to deliver them).

You can delete any of your content, or your account, at any time. To protect information from accidental or malicious destruction, we may not be able to immediately delete residual copies of your data.

Address Book. We take the security of your address book access seriously by minimizing data transfer to our servers. After you grant us access, if a contact isn't registered or lacks name/photo information, we use your address book for local display on your device, ensuring this data never leaves your device. When selecting a contact, only their phone number is sent to our servers, securely stored in a cryptographically hashed form without any identifying details, and strictly used to help you find friends on TranslateChat, with utmost respect for your privacy and data security.

Fees And Taxes. You are responsible for all carrier data plans, Internet fees, and other fees and taxes associated with your use of our Services.

Our Content and Services

We reserve all rights in TranslateChat's look and feel. Some parts of TranslateChat are licensed under third-party open source licenses. We may also make some of our own code available under open source licenses. As for other parts of TranslateChat, you may not copy or adapt any portion of our code or visual design elements (including logos) without express written permission from TranslateChat unless otherwise permitted by law.

You may not do, or try to do, the following: (1) access or tamper with non- public areas of the Services, our computer systems, or the systems of our technical providers; (2) access or search the Services by any means other than the currently available, published interfaces (e.g. mobile apps) that we provide; (3) forge any HTTP request or posting, or in any way use the Services to send altered, deceptive, or false source-identifying information; or (4) interfere with, or disrupt, the access of any user, host, or network, including sending malware, overloading, flooding, spamming, message-bombing the Services, or by scripting the creation of content or accounts in such a manner as to interfere with or create an undue burden on the Services.

You may not use our Services in any way, including uploading, posting, sharing, or linking to any information, that is, abusive, unlawful, fraudulent, harmful, tortious, defamatory, libelous, obscene, invasive of the privacy of another person, threatening, harassing, abusive, hateful, racist, infringing, pornographic, violent, or otherwise objectionable or inappropriate as determined in TranslateChat's sole discretion.

Crawling the Services is allowed if done in accordance with the provisions of our robots.txt file, but scraping the Services is prohibited.

We may change, terminate, or restrict access to any aspect of the service, at any time, without notice. You agree that TranslateChat shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Services.

NO ACCESS TO EMERGENCY SERVICES: There are important differences between our Services and your mobile phone and a fixed-line telephone and SMS services. Our Services do not provide access to emergency services or emergency services providers, including the police, fire departments, or hospitals, or otherwise connect to public safety answering points. You should ensure you can contact your relevant emergency services providers through a mobile phone, a fixed- line telephone, or other service.

You must provide certain devices, software, and data connections to use our Services, which we otherwise do not supply. To use our Services, you consent to download and install updates to our Services. You also consent to our sending you notifications via our Services from time to time, as necessary to provide our Services to you.

Under our Copyright and DMCA Policy, we'll remove material after receiving a valid takedown notice.
