1. Introduction and Provider


**Short Learn** is a mobile language‑learning application published by **Yanis Cherifi, Sole Trader (auto‑entrepreneur)**, with principal place of business at **8 rue Guynemer, 94300 Vincennes, France** (hereinafter **“the Publisher”**). The app transforms short‑form content from social networks into mini language lessons. When the user shares a link via the native share screen, Short Learn overlays an extension that displays vocabulary, grammar, expressions and cultural context while the video continues playing.


The Publisher acts as the **data controller** within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for personal data collected through the application.


2. Acceptance and Scope


By installing and using Short Learn, the user acknowledges having read and accepted these Terms of Service without reservation. The Terms constitute a contract between the Publisher and the user. In line with Apple requirements, this contract is concluded between the Publisher and the user, **not** with Apple; Apple is not party to the contract and assumes no responsibility for support or warranties. The Publisher reserves the right to amend these Terms. Users will be informed of any material change, and continued use of the application constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.


3. Licence to Use


The Publisher grants the user a **personal, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable and revocable licence** to use the application on Apple‑branded products. The user does not acquire any ownership rights in the app. Reproduction, modification, distribution, sale or commercial exploitation of the app or its content is prohibited without prior written consent from the Publisher.

4. User Responsibility and Copyright


Short Learn relies on **user‑generated content**. Users remain solely responsible for the links they share and warrant that they have all necessary rights to use and transform the content. The service does not allow downloading or re‑hosting of videos; it only displays an educational extract for private, non‑commercial use. The Publisher makes no claim to the underlying videos.


The user agrees to:


  • not submit content that violates copyright, neighbouring rights, privacy, trademarks or any applicable law;
  • comply with the terms of use of the source platforms and any copyright limitations in their jurisdiction;
  • indemnify and hold harmless the Publisher and its partners from any claims arising from the use of the service or the infringement of third‑party rights. Such indemnification clauses are recommended for services hosting user‑generated content.

    • If a rights holder believes that material processed via Short Learn infringes their rights, they may notify the Publisher (see § 16). Upon receiving a sufficiently detailed and substantiated notice, the Publisher will suspend access to the disputed content and/or disable the relevant user’s access.


    5. Prohibited Uses


    Users must not:


  • use the application for unlawful purposes (piracy, infringement, etc.) or in contravention of applicable laws;
  • extract or attempt to reconstruct the app’s databases or source code (reverse engineering);
  • share or publish generated lessons for commercial purposes without permission;
  • interfere with the app’s operation (e.g. through automated scripts).

    • The Publisher may suspend or terminate any user who breaches these rules and may disclose information to competent authorities.


    6. Maintenance, Support and Updates


    In line with Apple’s requirements, the Publisher alone is responsible for maintaining and supporting the application. The app may be modified, updated or discontinued at any time for technical or legal reasons. The Publisher will endeavour to inform users of any prolonged service interruption.


    7. Warranty Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability


    The application and services are provided **“as is”** without express or implied warranties (including fitness for a particular purpose, availability, accuracy or reliability). The Publisher does not warrant that the service will meet the user’s expectations or that its operation will be uninterrupted or error‑free. Use of the app is at the user’s own risk.


    To the extent permitted by law, the Publisher’s liability is limited to the amount, if any, paid by the user for the service. The Publisher disclaims liability for indirect, incidental or consequential damages (including lost data or profits) arising from the use or inability to use the app. Such limitation is consistent with guidance for limiting liability in user‑generated content services.


    8. Apple’s Obligations and Third‑Party Beneficiaries


    Users acknowledge that:


  • the Publisher, not Apple, is responsible for the app, its content and any claims or legal actions related to it (including intellectual property and privacy matters);
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third‑party beneficiaries of this agreement and may enforce these Terms against the user;
  • the user must comply with the terms of any third‑party services (social platforms, APIs, hosting) used with Short Learn;
  • the user certifies they are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo and are not on any restricted list.

    • 9. Intellectual Property


    All components of the application (text, graphical interface, logos, trademarks, source code) are the exclusive property of the Publisher or its licensors. Any reproduction or adaptation is prohibited without express permission.


    10. Personal Data


    The collection and use of personal data are described in the **Privacy Policy** (see below). By using the app, the user acknowledges having read and accepted the Privacy Policy.


    11. Term and Termination


    These Terms apply for an indefinite period. The user may cease using the app at any time. The Publisher may terminate the user’s access without notice or compensation in the event of a breach of these Terms or applicable laws. Provisions designed to protect the Publisher (liability, intellectual property, data protection, indemnity) survive termination.


    12. Severability


    If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. The invalid provision will be replaced by a valid one that reflects the original intent.


    13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution


    These Terms are governed by French law. In case of a dispute not settled amicably, courts in the Publisher’s jurisdiction have competence, subject to mandatory provisions protecting EU consumers.
