Terms of Service

These terms are an agreement between you and Axios Productions LLC about the Last Word app. Installing or using the app means you accept them. If you don't, don't use the app.

If you installed Last Word from the Apple App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies, and wins wherever it conflicts with this document. On Google Play, this document is the agreement.

1. What you're allowed to do

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use Last Word on devices you own or control, for your own use.

We keep every other right in the app itself: its code, its design, its bundled beats, and its rhyme word lists.

What you're not allowed to do

• Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the app, except where the law says that right can't be taken away from you.
• Redistribute, resell, rent or sublicense the app, or extract its bundled beats or word lists for use elsewhere.
• Use the app to break the law, or to harass, threaten or defame anyone.
• Record another person when the law where you are requires their consent and you don't have it.
• Work around the subscription, the free-use allowance, or the daily limits on AI features.

2. Your recordings are yours

You own everything you record. We claim no rights in it, we don't publish it, and we have no server that stores it. Recordings live on your device until you delete them.

There is one exception, and you trigger it deliberately: when you play a round against the AI, or turn on AI rating, you are asking us to send that round's recording to Google so a model can write a reply verse or score your verse. That happens only for rounds where you switched the feature on. The Privacy Policy sets this out in full.

Last Word has no accounts, no feed and no messaging. There is no way for one person's recording to reach another person inside the app. Anything you share, you share yourself, through your phone's own share sheet.

3. Free and paid

Freestyle, PvP and PvCOM are free and unlimited, and work with no internet connection. The app is never locked as a whole.

The AI features — a written and performed response verse, and AI rating — are what Last Word Pro pays for. A small number of AI rounds are granted free so you can try them before deciding. Subscribers also have a generous daily ceiling on AI use, which exists to stop abuse rather than to ration normal play.

4. Subscriptions and billing

Last Word Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, offered monthly or yearly.

• Who charges you. Payment is taken by Google Play (or Apple, on iOS), not by us. We never see or handle your card details.
• Renewal. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before that period ends.
• Cancelling. Cancel any time in the Play Store under Subscriptions. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep Pro until the period you already paid for runs out.
• Free trials. Where a free trial is offered, it converts into a paid subscription unless you cancel before it ends. If you buy a subscription while a trial is running, the rest of the trial is forfeited.
• Prices. Prices are set per country and shown in the app before you buy. If a price changes, the store will tell you and, where the law requires it, ask you to agree before charging the new amount.
• Refunds. Refunds are handled by the store under its own policy. We can't issue them ourselves, because we never received the payment.

5. What the AI features are, and aren't

The response verses and the ratings are produced by a machine-learning model. They can be wrong, dull, repetitive, or occasionally nonsense. A rating is entertainment. It is not an assessment of your ability, and nothing in it should be read as advice about anything.

These features need an internet connection and depend on a third-party service that may be slow, unavailable, rate-limited or discontinued. We may change the usage limits, or withdraw the AI features entirely. If we withdraw them permanently while you're paying for them, you can cancel your subscription; the store's refund policy applies.

6. Services we rely on

We're responsible for Last Word. We aren't responsible for those services' own availability or conduct.

7. Availability, updates and requirements

Last Word requires Android 7.0 or later. We may update, change or discontinue the app or any part of it. Updates may add, change or remove features, including free ones — though we won't put a mode that is free today behind the paywall without saying so.

8. The app is provided as is

To the fullest extent the law allows, Last Word is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We don't warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that recordings will never be lost.

Back up anything you can't stand to lose. Recordings are stored only on your device. Deleting the app deletes them.

9. Limits on our liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for lost data, lost recordings, lost profits or lost opportunities, arising out of your use of the app.

Where we are liable, our total liability to you is limited to the amount you actually paid us for Last Word in the twelve months before the claim arose.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law — including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you. If you're a consumer, you keep every right your local consumer law gives you.

10. Ending this agreement

You can end it at any time by uninstalling the app. Cancel any active subscription in the store first — uninstalling on its own does not cancel it.

We may suspend or end your licence if you materially breach these terms. Sections 2, 8, 9 and 12 survive.

11. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. When we do, we'll change the effective date at the top, and for changes that materially affect you we'll say so in the app or on the store listing. Continuing to use Last Word after a change means you accept the updated terms.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. If you're a consumer, this doesn't deprive you of the protection of the mandatory law of the country you live in.
