Terms of use
Updated 7 November 2026
These terms cover Laowai’s dictionary, reading, practice and Classroom services. The operator’s details appear below.
Your account
Use your own account and keep its sign-in details secure. You are responsible for the material you upload and for using the service lawfully. Do not access another person’s private lessons, submissions or account.
Teaching and student accounts
Teachers are responsible for inviting the intended students and having permission to share their information. A parent or guardian must authorize a child’s account or purchase where required. Avoid including unnecessary personal information in shared lessons and boards.
Your teaching material
You retain your rights in the material you create or upload. You allow Laowai to store, process and display that material as needed to provide the features you use. Only upload material you are entitled to use and share.
App Store purchases
Apple handles purchases made in the app. The App Store purchase screen shows the price, currency and any subscription renewal terms before you confirm. Manage renewal in your Apple Account settings. An existing lifetime purchase remains a one-time purchase.
Web subscriptions
Web purchases are sold and billed by Paddle under its Buyer Terms. Checkout shows the seller, final amount, taxes, billing period and renewal terms before payment. The monthly and annual offers are listed on the web pricing page.
Planned teacher plans
The free teacher plan will include five distinct active students across the teacher’s active classes; the same student in multiple classes counts once. Pro will allow more students. Account-based Pro is available on the website and in international Laowai 5.3.24 or later, using the same Laowai account. App support requires iOS/iPadOS 26 or later. Features differ by platform.
Renewal, cancellation and refunds
Subscriptions renew until cancelled. Cancelling renewal normally retains access for the paid period; a refund or revocation may end the access supplied by that purchase. Deleting an account or uninstalling the app does not cancel a subscription. Our refunds page explains which payment provider to contact.
Service access and changes
Do not use Laowai to distribute unlawful material, infringe others’ rights or bypass account permissions. Access may be restricted to address abuse or a security incident. Features can change, and material changes to these terms will be published with an updated date. Mandatory consumer rights continue to apply.
Privacy and questions
The main Laowai Privacy Policy explains how the current service handles personal information. The payment privacy notice describes the web billing integration. Contact the operator below with questions about these terms.
