Terms and Conditions

Who we are

Parshn is a small product. When this page says "we" and "us", it means the team running Parshn. To reach a human, write to parshnapp@gmail.com.

Agreeing to these terms

By creating an account, installing the desktop app, or using this website, you agree to what is written on this page. If you don't agree, don't sign up and don't install. That is fair to both of us.

You also need to be old enough to enter a contract where you live. In many places that is 18, in some it is lower. Parshn is not aimed at children under 13.

Your account

You need an email address and a password to use Parshn. Keep the password to yourself. We will never ask you to share it. You are responsible for what happens under your account, including anything someone does with your password if you let it out.

You also need to verify your email through the one-time code we send you. That is how we make sure you can recover your account if you lose access. If you think someone else has signed in, change your password right away. The privacy policy explains why this is the practical fix.

Your license

When the purchase flow is live, buying Parshn gives you a personal lifetime license to use the desktop app on devices you own or control. "Lifetime" means as long as Parshn exists and we keep operating it.

We don't cap how many of your own machines you install Parshn on, but the license is for one person. Please don't share it with others or resell it.

Parshn is in early access. The purchase flow is not yet wired up on this site. During early access, licenses may be granted manually to people we invite. When the storefront opens, the exact purchase terms will be added here.

Your content stays yours

Anything you type into the desktop app (the vocabulary words, the meanings you write for them, the topics you organize them under) belongs to you. We do not get a license to it. We do not want one. That content stays on your machine, as described in the privacy policy.

What we own

The Parshn name, the logo, the desktop app, this website, the visual design, and the source code we publish are ours. Your license lets you use the app. It doesn't let you:

• Sell, sub-license, or rent the app to someone else
• Reverse engineer the app to build a competing product
• Claim the app or any of its parts as something you made
• Use the Parshn name or logo in a way that makes people think your project is Parshn or endorsed by Parshn

Things you can't do

Don't use Parshn for anything that:

• Breaks the law in your country or where our servers run
• Tries to gain access to accounts that aren't yours
• Tries to break, overload, or probe the backend in a way that affects other users
• Sends abusive content through the app or the support email

If you do, we may suspend or delete your account. We will try to give you a heads-up first when it makes sense.

Updates to the app

We release updates to Parshn. Updates may add features, fix bugs, change how features look, or remove features that aren't working. We try not to take away features people rely on, but we don't promise that every feature is permanent.

If we ever discontinue Parshn entirely, we will give existing license holders enough notice to get their data out. Since your vocabulary already lives on your computer, that part is mostly already done.

Pricing

We set prices and we may change them. A change to the price does not affect a license you have already bought. If we run a discount, it is a discount, not a promise that the price will stay there.

Payments

The purchase flow is not yet live on this site. When it opens, payments will be processed by a third-party payment provider that handles card details on their own systems. We will not see or store your full card number. The privacy policy will list the provider's name once that goes live.

Refunds

If you bought a license and Parshn doesn't work for you, email us within 30 days of your purchase and we'll refund you. You don't need to give a reason. After 30 days we look at refund requests case by case and decide what is fair.

Ending things

You can delete your Parshn account at any time. Email us and we will do it. The local data is already on your computer. Removing the desktop app deletes the local database file with it.

We can suspend or end your access if you break these terms, or if we have to shut Parshn down. If we end your access for breaking the terms, you don't get a refund. If we shut Parshn down, we will handle refunds case by case.

As is

Parshn is provided as is. We try hard to keep it solid, but we don't guarantee that it will be free of bugs, that notifications will fire on time on every operating system version, or that it will fit a particular purpose you have in mind. To the extent the law lets us limit responsibility, we do.

Liability

If something goes wrong and you suffer a loss because of Parshn, the most we are responsible for, in total, is the amount you paid for your license in the twelve months before the problem. We are not responsible for indirect losses, such as lost productivity, lost vocabulary you didn't back up, or lost income.

This cap does not apply where the law does not allow it, for example certain consumer protections in the EU and the UK.

Changes to these terms

If we change this page, we update the date at the top. If the change matters in practice, for example a new restriction or a change to refunds, we mention it on the changelog or surface a note when you sign in. If you keep using Parshn after a change, you accept the new version.

Disputes

If you have a problem with us, email parshnapp@gmail.com first. We would much rather sort things out by talking. If we can't agree, the laws that apply where you live and where we operate decide what comes next, including which courts can hear a formal claim.
