Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-09-12 · Effective date: 2026-09-12

1. Acceptance of Terms

By installing, accessing, or using the Screen Translate Android application ("App", "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not install or use the App. These Terms apply to the build distributed on Google Play, package name com.screen.translate.google.

2. License

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on Android devices you own or control, solely for personal, non-commercial use. You may not:

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except as permitted by applicable law
• Modify, distribute, sell, lease, or sublicense the App
• Remove or alter any proprietary notices
• Use the App to violate any law or third-party rights

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the App to:

• Translate content that infringes the copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights of others
• Process content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable
• Capture or translate another person's screen, messages, or documents without their knowledge or consent, or in breach of your obligations to an employer or other third party
• Bypass, disable, or interfere with security features, including subscription verification, credit accounting, and integrity checks
• Automate use through bots or scripts in a way that overwhelms our systems, or artificially generate ad impressions or credit grants
• Resell or redistribute translation results commercially without authorization

4. Accounts

Some features work without an account. Signing in with Google, TikTok, or Douyin creates an account that carries your entitlements and credit balance. You are responsible for the security of the third-party account you sign in with, and for activity that occurs under your account. You may delete your account at any time from the App (Profile → Account Settings → Delete Account); deletion is permanent, and unused credits and unexpired subscription time are forfeited.

5. Subscriptions, Credits, and Payments

The free version of the App is supported by advertisements. Premium "VIP" features require a subscription or a one-time purchase, and some AI features consume credits.

• Subscriptions and credit packs are sold and billed through Google Play, and subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. Pricing varies by region and is shown in your local currency in the store.
• Free trials, when offered, convert automatically to a paid subscription unless canceled before the trial ends.
• To manage or cancel a subscription, use the subscription settings in Google Play. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
• Credits are a prepaid entitlement to use specific AI features. They are consumed as you use those features, have no cash value, cannot be transferred or exchanged for money, and do not expire while your account is active. If an operation fails after credits are deducted, the credits are returned to your balance automatically.
• Subscribers can use the translation features covered by their plan without spending credits.
• The App may offer temporary VIP time in exchange for watching an advertisement. This is optional, and declining it does not restrict any feature you have otherwise paid for.
• Refunds are governed by Google Play's refund policy. We do not process refunds directly. Where a purchase is refunded or charged back, we may remove the corresponding credits or entitlement.
• We may change prices, plan contents, or credit costs. Changes do not affect a subscription period you have already paid for, and we announce material changes in the App before they take effect.

6. Your Content

You retain ownership of the text, images, and documents ("Your Content") you submit to the App for translation. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to process Your Content solely to provide the translation you requested. We do not store Your Content on our servers, and we do not use it to train models. Processing happens on your device or through the translation, recognition, or AI provider described in our Privacy Policy. You are responsible for having the right to submit Your Content for translation.

7. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights in the App and its source code, design, features, and content are owned by us or our licensors. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to you. "Screen Translate" and the App icon are our trademarks.

8. Third-Party Services

The App relies on third-party services — translation and recognition engines, the Mango translation platform, AI providers, advertising networks, and app store billing — all listed in our Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the availability, content, accuracy, or policies of these third parties, and their availability may change without notice. Your use of them is governed by their respective terms.

9. Translation Accuracy Disclaimer

Translations are produced by automated machine translation engines and may contain errors, including errors that change meaning. Do not rely on the App for medical, legal, financial, or safety-critical decisions. Always have important translations checked by a qualified human translator.

10. Availability and Changes to the Service

We may add, change, or discontinue features. Individual translation or recognition engines may be withdrawn when a provider changes or ends its service. We aim to keep the App working, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, and scheduled or emergency maintenance may make the Service temporarily unavailable.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ACCURACY. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP. OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US (IF ANY) IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including your statutory consumer rights.

13. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or engage in fraud, abuse, or unlawful behaviour. Where we suspend an account for suspected abuse, you may contest the decision using the contact details below. Sections 6, 7, and 9 through 12 survive termination.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the latest revision. Material changes will be announced in the App. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

15. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules, except where the mandatory consumer protection law of your country of residence applies. Any dispute arising from or related to these Terms shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation; if it is not resolved, exclusive jurisdiction lies with the competent courts at the developer's registered place of business.

16. Contact
