PrepochTerms of Use
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Prepoch ("Prepoch", "we", "us") about the Prepoch app for iPhone (the "App"). By downloading, signing in to or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the App.
You download the App from the Apple App Store, so Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Apple EULA") also applies. If these Terms and the Apple EULA conflict on a point the Apple EULA covers, the Apple EULA applies on that point.
Questions about these Terms: puhustudios@gmail.com
1. What Prepoch is
Prepoch is a practice app for people preparing for the TOEFL® test. It offers practice tasks and timed section exams for Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking, a vocabulary module, grammar lessons, a writing coach, a Notebook with review cards and progress tracking. It is an educational tool. It is not an official test and it does not guarantee any test result.
2. Independent from ETS
Prepoch is not affiliated with, endorsed, sponsored or approved by Educational Testing Service (ETS). TOEFL® is a registered trademark of ETS and are used only to describe what the App helps you prepare for. The questions, passages and audio in the App are original content written and produced by us, some with the help of AI, to follow the published test format. They are not real test questions. Always check the official TOEFL website for current test rules.
3. Your account
- You can start as a guest or sign in with Apple or Google.
- Keep your sign-in details safe and give us accurate information. You are responsible for activity under your account.
- You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you need your parent's or guardian's permission to use the App and to make purchases.
- A guest account is tied to your device. If you delete the App or lose the device before signing in, a guest account and its credits may not be recoverable.
4. Licence and acceptable use
We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App on Apple devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial study, under these Terms and the Apple EULA.
You agree not to:
- copy, resell, publish or share the App's questions, passages, audio or explanations in bulk, or use them to build a competing product;
- use bots, scrapers or scripts, or try to get around credits, limits or security checks;
- create multiple accounts to collect free credits or invite rewards;
- reverse engineer, decompile, attack or overload the App or our servers, or probe them for weaknesses;
- submit unlawful, hateful, harassing or infringing content, or other people's personal information;
- use the App to cheat on, or help others cheat on, an official exam.
5. Credits, plans and payment
Credits. Practice sessions and exam tasks use credits. Currently a practice or a single exam task costs 1 credit and a full section exam costs 2 credits. The App shows the cost before you start. Credits have no cash value, can't be transferred between accounts and can't be exchanged for money.
Free features. The Vocabulary page, today's words, the Notebook and its reviews are free.
Free first practice. After you sign in with Apple or Google, your first practice that costs 1 credit is free. It is given once per person: if the same Apple or Google sign-in or email has already used it, on any account, it is not given again. Section exams are not included. After that, practice sessions and exams need credits from a plan or a credit pack.
Plans. Weekly and monthly plans are auto-renewing subscriptions. Each plan gives a credit allowance for the current billing period and unlocks subscriber features, such as the Vocabulary tests and the full word list. The plan allowance is renewed at the start of each period. Unused plan credits do not carry over to the next period and end when the plan ends. When you have both plan credits and purchased credits, plan credits are used first.
Credit packs. One-time purchases that add credits to your account. Purchased credits do not expire while your account exists. They are lost if you delete your account.
Billing. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same length and price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple ID is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple ID settings. Deleting the App or your Prepoch account does not cancel a subscription.
Refunds. Purchases are handled by Apple, so refund requests go to Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com. Nothing in these Terms limits any refund or withdrawal right you have under the mandatory consumer law of your country.
Changes. We may change prices, plan allowances and credit costs. We will tell you before a change affects an active subscription, as the App Store requires.
6. AI feedback and scores
Parts of the App, including Writing feedback, Speaking scores, the coach and some practice content, use artificial intelligence. AI can be wrong or inconsistent. Scores, bands and CEFR levels in the App are practice estimates to help you follow your progress. They are not official TOEFL scores and they don't predict your test result. Use your own judgement and, for important decisions, rely on official sources and qualified teachers.
How we handle the content you send for feedback is explained in our Privacy Policy.
7. Your content
You keep ownership of the text and recordings you create in the App. You give us a limited licence to process, store and transmit them, including to our hosting and AI providers, only as needed to run the App for you, as described in the Privacy Policy. You are responsible for your content and confirm that you have the right to use it.
8. Our content
The App and everything in it, including its design, software, questions, passages, explanations, audio, illustrations and branding, belong to Prepoch or its licensors and are protected by law. These Terms don't give you ownership of any of it.
9. Ending your use
You can stop using the App and delete your account at any time in the App's Settings. We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms or misuse the App, or if we stop offering the App. If we stop offering the App, we will give reasonable notice where we can. Sections that by their nature should continue after your use ends (such as ownership, disclaimers and limitation of liability) continue to apply.
10. Disclaimers
The App is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent the law allows, we don't promise that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, that its content, feedback or scores are complete or accurate, or that it will help you reach a particular test score. Some features need an internet connection and depend on third-party services.
11. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, Prepoch is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost data, lost opportunities or test results, arising from your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid for the App and in-app purchases in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, and nothing limits your rights under mandatory consumer law.
12. Apple
These Terms are between you and Prepoch, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
- Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.
- If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the App, if any. To the extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the App.
- Apple is not responsible for any claims by you or any third party relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer protection or privacy claims.
- If a third party claims that the App infringes its intellectual property rights, Apple is not responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement or discharge of that claim.
- You confirm 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 on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
13. Applicable law
These Terms are governed by the law that applies to your use of the App. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in the courts there.
14. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms when the App or the law changes. We will change the effective date above and, for significant changes, tell you in the App. If you keep using the App after a change, the updated Terms apply.
