Acceptance
These Terms of Use (the "Terms") are an agreement between you and Lijia (the "Developer," "we," "us" or "our") regarding iFloat (Chinese name: iFloat实时语音翻译, the "App").
By downloading, installing, accessing or using the App, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
If you are under 18, please review these Terms with a parent or guardian and use the App only with their consent.
License and Apple's Standard EULA
The App is distributed through the Apple App Store. In addition to these Terms, Apple's Standard End User License Agreement ("Standard EULA") applies to your use of the App. If these Terms conflict with the Standard EULA, the Standard EULA controls for App Store-related matters.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms and the Standard EULA, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, in accordance with the App Store Usage Rules.
Apple-specific terms
- These Terms are between you and us only; Apple is not a party to them.
- 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 may refund the purchase price (if any) for the App. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for product liability, consumer protection and intellectual property claims relating to the App.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
- You must comply with the App Store Terms of Service and Usage Rules and may not circumvent in-app purchases or membership restrictions.
The service
iFloat is an iOS app for real-time speech translation and subtitles. Its features include conversation, photo translation, live translation, floating translation, video subtitles, screen recording, table OCR and speech. The features available to you depend on the version you install and what the App displays.
Some features require a membership subscription. The scope of free and membership features may change between versions. Rights of an active subscription are governed by the membership screen in the App.
Speech recognition, translation, text recognition and subtitle rendering rely on Apple system capabilities and device performance. Some languages require a one-time resource download; features may be unavailable if storage is insufficient, the OS version is unsupported or permission is denied.
Membership, subscriptions and payment
The App offers auto-renewable subscriptions (for example, monthly and annual). The plans, prices, periods and benefits are those shown on the membership screen and the App Store purchase confirmation sheet.
- Payment: Apple charges your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.
- Auto-renewal: The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. The renewal price is the price shown by the App Store.
- Cancellation: Open iOS Settings → your Apple Account → Subscriptions → iFloat, or use "Manage Subscription" on the membership screen. After cancelling, membership remains active until the end of the current paid period.
- Refunds: Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies. You may request one through Apple's "Report a Problem" page; we cannot issue Apple refunds directly.
- Price changes: If a subscription price changes, Apple will notify you under applicable rules; you may cancel before the change takes effect.
- Restore purchases: After changing devices or reinstalling, use "Restore Purchases" on the membership screen to restore an active entitlement purchased with the same Apple Account.
Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription. You must cancel through Apple's subscription management page, or the subscription may continue to renew.
Acceptable use
You agree not to use the App, and not to help others use it, to:
- violate any applicable law, regulation or third-party right;
- record, transcribe, translate or distribute another person's voice, conversation, screen content or personal information without their consent;
- infringe copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity or other rights;
- create or distribute malicious, fraudulent, harassing or false content;
- reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, rent, sell, sublicense or circumvent technical protections;
- use automated scripts, crawlers or other means to interfere with the App or the App Store; or
- circumvent membership restrictions, forge purchase receipts or otherwise obtain paid features without paying.
When using Floating, screen recording or microphone features, comply with local laws on recording, eavesdropping and privacy, and respect the reasonable privacy expectations of people around you. You are responsible for your recording, transcription, translation, export and sharing.
Your content
You retain all rights in the content you input, select, record or generate through the App ("Your Content"). These Terms do not give us ownership of Your Content.
Because iFloat processes Your Content on your device, we do not receive, store or use it. You are responsible for ensuring that you have the rights to the content you input, record, translate and share, and that your use does not infringe the rights of others.
When you export or share content through the system share sheet, you choose the recipient; the recipient's handling of the content is governed by its own terms and privacy policy.
Third-party services
The App uses Apple system capabilities and services, including the App Store, StoreKit, Speech, Translation, Vision, Photos, ScreenCaptureKit and ReplayKit. Your use of those services is also subject to Apple's terms and privacy policy.
The App may open third-party websites or services (for example, Apple's subscription management page, App Store pages, or recipients in the system share sheet). We are not responsible for the content, availability or privacy practices of third parties. Read their terms and privacy policies before providing information to them.
Disclaimer
Speech recognition, translation, text recognition and subtitle output are generated by automated systems and may contain errors, omissions, delays or semantic inaccuracies. You should verify the results before relying on them, especially in medical, legal, financial, safety, emergency or other high-risk contexts.
The App does not provide professional translation, legal, medical, financial or other professional advice. Translations are not professional opinions of any kind.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the App is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," without any express or implied warranty, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, non-infringement and quiet enjoyment. The warranty disclaimer in Apple's Standard EULA also applies.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential damages (including lost profits, lost data, business interruption or device damage) arising from your use of or inability to use the App.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for these Terms or the App will not exceed the amount you paid for the App in the 12 months before the claim, or CNY 50, whichever is greater.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for intentional misconduct or gross negligence, or consumer rights that cannot be waived.
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms as features, legal requirements or the business change. The updated Terms will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date and version number.
If a change materially affects your rights, we will provide a prominent in-app notice. Continued use of the App after the change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the App and cancel any subscription.
Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. The parties will first try to resolve any dispute arising from these Terms or the App through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, either party may bring the dispute before the competent people's court at the defendant's domicile.
If you are a consumer outside mainland China, you may also have mandatory consumer protection rights under your local law; these Terms do not exclude those rights.
