Translated Content
Lingpad assumes no liability or responsibility for the nature of the Translated Text forwarded to you by the Translation Provider, its accuracy, its completeness, its compatibility for a certain purpose, its quality, or any other property of it.
In the event you are not satisfied with the results of a task forwarded to you, please rank the Translation Provider responsible for that task accordingly and email us at
hello@lingpad.com stating "Dissatisfied" in the subject of the email message.
In such cases, we will try to mediate between you and the relevant Translation Provider, to see if he/she can provide you with any corrections to the Translated Text. Any such process may take substantial time since we need to process it manually.
Data Retention Policy:
During the initial 12-month period, all your articles’ translations will be stored exclusively on Lingpad. Therefore, if you choose to delete any articles or projects during this time, your data will be permanently removed. However, if you maintain a paid account for a minimum of 12 months, there will be no risk of data loss due to deletion. Beyond the initial 12 months, there will be no data loss, if you decide to delete any articles or projects.

Pricing Page.
Committed-use Discount: This modality allows you to receive significant discounts for high-volume requirements when you prepay for a year.The discount is personalized to the customer's localization requirements, as mentioned within the contract.

hello@lingpad.com for the details.
Billing Modes
Monthly Billing: Lingpad’s monthly Plans provide month-to-month access, with monthly charges being paid on each renewal day. Monthly Plans automatically renew every month. If you cancel before an upcoming renewal day, you will have access to the product through to the end of the billing cycle.
Annual Billing: Lingpad’s annual Plans provide year-to-year access and some savings compared to the month-to-month Plans. Annual Plans automatically renew every year, unless a Customer terminates the Subscription. If a Customer cancels the Subscription before the upcoming renewal date, said Customer will have access to the product until the end of the paid Subscription.
Annual charges will be paid on each renewal date (the same date of the year that you originally signed up for the Plan) or when the stipulated plan inclusions run out - whichever happens first - unless agreed otherwise. In this case, fees will be charged on the dates specified.
Auto-Renewal
A Subscription will automatically renew at the end of the Subscription for a new period equal to the preceding term, unless you cancel the Subscription as set forth herein.
Fees during any automatic renewal term will remain the same as they were during the preceding term unless we have notified you of any change of Fees in advance.
Once a Customer cancels the Subscription, no additional charges will be taken, and the Customer can use the product until the prepaid Subscription term expires. However, no refunds (prorated or otherwise) are provided upon cancellation. In the interest of fairness to all our customers, no exceptions will be made.
Termination
We reserve the right to suspend, terminate, or restrict your access to Lingpad at any time and for any reason without prior notice. Upon termination, all licenses and rights granted to you under these Terms will cease to exist.
Cause for such termination shall include, but not be limited to:
(a) breaches or violations of the Terms and Conditions, other incorporated agreements or guidelines;
(b) requests by law enforcement or other government agencies;
(c) a request by you (self-initiated account deletions);
(d) discontinuance or material modification to the product (or any part thereof);
(e) unexpected technical or security issues or problems;
(f) extended periods of inactivity;
(g) engagement by you in fraudulent or illegal activities; and/or
(h) non-payment of any fees owed by you in connection with the product or any other Lingpad services.

We are not liable for any matter unless all monies owed to Lingpad by you have been paid in full in a timely manner. We must be provided with at least 14 days' notice of any matter for which we may be liable, and we must be afforded a reasonable period to remedy any such breach before you incur any costs or expenses in remedying the matter yourself.
If you do not provide any such written notice, we shall not be liable. We reserve the right to request written evidence of any claims that you allege together with full details as to how any liability was incurred and what measures you have taken to mitigate the loss.
We are not liable to you for any: consequential losses (including but not limited to loss of profits, damage to goodwill, damage to reputation, loss of data, loss of programs and/or service interruptions); economic and/or other similar losses; and/or special damages and/or indirect losses.
As a member of the user community, you hereby acknowledge that you are under a duty to mitigate any loss, costs, expenses, or damages that you may incur.

Nothing in this contract is designed to exclude or limit any of your statutory rights which are not capable of exclusion or limitation as a consumer.
We shall not be liable to you for any delays in the provision of the services or for any other events to the extent that such events are due to things that are outside reasonable control including, but not limited to, emergencies, war, flood, fire, labor disputes, strikes, lock-outs, riots, civil commotion, malicious damage, explosions, prohibitive governmental regulations or actions, and any other similar events.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless our company and our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers and employees, from any loss, cost, damage, claim or demand, including reasonable legal fees, made by any third party or incurred/suffered by us or by our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers and employees arising from a breach of this agreement, the content you transmit to or through the product, as well as your conduct on or arising from your use thereof.
