Terms of Service

Language Roots · Last updated November 05, 2026

Welcome to Language Roots. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our Plains Cree (nēhiyawēwin) language-learning app. By creating an account or using the app, you agree to these Terms. Please read them carefully.

Using the app

• You must provide accurate information when creating an account and keep your login credentials secure.
• The app is provided as a learning aid. You agree to use it for personal, non-commercial educational purposes.
• You agree not to misuse the app, attempt to disrupt its operation, access it through unauthorized means, or use it in any unlawful way.

Your account

• You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account.
• You may delete your account and all associated data at any time from within the app or on our account deletion page.
• We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or are used to harm the app or other learners.

Educational content

Our lessons and vocabulary are a respectful learning starter set drawn from commonly documented Plains Cree in Standard Roman Orthography (SRO) and syllabics. They are intended as a learning aid and are not an authoritative dictionary or a substitute for guidance from fluent speakers, Elders, and community knowledge keepers. Language and spellings may vary by community and dialect.

Intellectual property

The app, its design, and its content are owned by Language Roots and its partners and are protected by applicable laws. You may not copy, redistribute, or create derivative works from the app’s content without permission, except for your own personal learning.

Audio and voice features

Pronunciation practice sends a short recording of your voice to a speech provider to return a result. Audio playback and speech features are provided for learning purposes. You are responsible for using microphone features in an appropriate environment.

Disclaimer & limitation of liability

The app is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that content is complete or perfectly accurate. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Language Roots and its partners are not liable for any indirect or incidental damages arising from your use of the app.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

If you have any questions about these Terms, please contact the Bonnyville Friendship Centre.
