Terms of Use

Last updated: 16 August 2026

These terms — also the End User Licence Agreement, or EULA — are a plain-English agreement between you and the developer of Blort. By downloading or using Blort, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.

1. Who you're agreeing with

Blort is made and published by Angus Malcolm, an independent developer based in England, United Kingdom ("the developer", "we", "us"). This agreement is between you and the developer only — not with Apple or Google. You can reach us through the contact form on this website.

2. What Blort is

Blort is a language-learning app. It offers practice exercises, a lesson road, stories and explanations for several languages. It is an educational aid — we work hard on accuracy, but no guarantee is given that every exercise, translation or explanation is error-free, and using Blort does not guarantee any particular learning outcome. If you spot a mistake, we'd genuinely love to hear about it.

3. Who can use it

Blort is suitable for all ages. If you are under 18, or under the age at which you can enter a contract where you live, please use Blort with a parent or guardian's agreement — and any purchase must be made by whoever owns the store account being charged.

4. Your licence to use Blort

You get a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Blort on any device you own or control, for your own learning. Where you downloaded from the App Store, this licence is limited to devices you own or control as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service, including any Family Sharing rules that apply. You may not copy, sell, rent, sublicense, redistribute, reverse-engineer or extract the app's content or code, except where the law expressly permits it despite this restriction.

5. Free app and Premium hearts

• Blort is free: every language, every exercise topic, the lesson road and the whole story are available to everyone at no cost.
• Practice uses a hearts system: wrong answers cost a heart, and hearts refill on their own over time. Reviewing your mistakes never costs hearts. New installs get unlimited hearts for their first 10 days.
• Premium is an auto-renewing subscription with a single benefit: infinite hearts, so you are never asked to wait for a refill. The exact price in your currency is shown in the app before you buy. Premium does not unlock any content — there is nothing content-wise to unlock.

6. Subscription terms

• Payment is charged to your Apple App Store or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase.
• The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before that period ends.
• Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period, at the price then shown.
• You can manage or cancel it any time in your App Store or Google Play account settings — deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
• Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own policies; the developer cannot issue store refunds directly.
• If the price changes, the store will notify you as required and, where required, ask for your consent before charging the new price.
• If you are a consumer in the UK or EU you may have a legal right to cancel within 14 days of purchase. Because this is digital content supplied immediately, that right may not apply once supply has begun with your consent. Store refund policies apply either way, and nothing here removes a right you have by law.

7. Your data

Blort keeps your learning progress on your device only. There are no accounts, and the developer runs no servers that receive your data. See the Privacy Policy for the full picture. Deleting the app deletes your progress.

8. Acceptable use

Don't use Blort unlawfully, don't attempt to disrupt or exploit it, and don't misrepresent it as your own work. You confirm you are not located in a country subject to a UK, EU or US embargo, and that you are not on any restricted-party list that would prohibit you from using the app.

9. Intellectual property

The app, its exercises, stories, characters (including Blort himself) and artwork are the developer's, protected by copyright. The languages being taught belong, happily, to everyone. If you believe something in Blort infringes your rights, tell us through the contact form and we will look into it promptly.

10. Support and maintenance

The developer is solely responsible for supporting and maintaining Blort. Apple and Google have no obligation whatsoever to provide any maintenance or support for it. Questions of any kind should come to us through the contact form, and we'll do our best.

11. As-is, and limits on liability

Blort is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind to the maximum extent permitted by law. To the same maximum extent, the developer is not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the app. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

If the app fails to conform to any warranty that applies despite the above and you bought it through the App Store, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation at all in respect of the app. The developer, not Apple or Google, is responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the app — including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar law — and for investigating and defending any claim that the app infringes a third party's intellectual property rights.

12. Apple and Google

This agreement is between you and the developer only. Apple and Google are not parties to it and are not responsible for Blort or its content. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and upon your acceptance Apple has the right — and is deemed to have accepted the right — to enforce these terms against you as a third-party beneficiary. Your use of the app must also comply with the App Store Terms of Service or Google Play Terms of Service that apply to you.

13. Ending this agreement

You can end it at any time by deleting the app (cancel any subscription separately in your store account). We may suspend or end your licence if you materially breach these terms — for example by attempting to reverse-engineer or redistribute the app. Sections about intellectual property and liability survive the agreement ending.

14. Changes

The developer may update the app and these terms. Material changes will be shown in the app; continuing to use Blort after that means you accept the updated terms. If you don't accept them, please stop using the app and cancel any subscription.

15. If part of this doesn't hold up

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in force and the unenforceable part applies to the greatest extent the law allows.

16. Governing law and your local rights

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Wherever in the world you use Blort, that choice does not take away the mandatory consumer protections of the country where you live — those rights still apply in full, and nothing here limits them. If you are a consumer, you may bring a claim in the courts of your own country; where the law allows, the developer may do the same. This lets Blort be offered worldwide while your local protections always come first.

17. Contact and complaints

Questions, corrections, complaints, or fan mail for Blort: please get in touch through the contact form on this website. We read everything and aim to reply within a few days.
