Terms of Service

1. Who We Are

The Jerusalem Bridge ("we", "us", "our") is a language learning platform operated by Yaacov Schlezinger, accessible at lashon.online. We offer structured language learning tools for Modern Hebrew, Biblical Hebrew, Yiddish, and Aramaic, as well as 1-on-1 tutoring sessions.

2. Acceptance

By creating an account or using our platform, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the platform.

3. Subscription Plans

We offer the following app subscription tiers:

• Explorer (Free): Limited access — up to 50 flashcards, alphabet guides, and read-only community.
• Learner ($9/month or $79/year): Full toolkit for one language of your choice.
• Immersion ($19/month or $179/year): All 4 languages, dialect TTS, advanced tools, and priority scheduling.

Subscription fees are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis. You may cancel at any time from your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — no partial refunds for unused time, except as noted in Section 6.

4. Lesson Payments

Live tutoring sessions are purchased separately from app subscriptions. A trial lesson (25 minutes) is available to new students. It is paid by card when it is booked, and what was paid comes off the first monthly lesson plan if the student continues (once, within 90 days). Regular lessons are a monthly lesson subscription (one, two or three lessons a week), paid by card through Stripe; single lessons can also be bought one at a time.

• A lesson subscription is charged in advance each month and renews automatically until you pause or cancel it.
• Each renewal gives you that month's lessons. Lessons not booked by the next renewal date do not carry over.
• You can pause from Settings before a renewal date to skip that month's charge, or cancel at any time; a cancellation takes effect at the end of the month already paid, and the lessons left in it can be used until then.
• Moving or cancelling a lesson more than 12 hours before it starts is free and the lesson goes back into your month. Inside 12 hours, or if you miss it, the lesson counts as taken.
• Lesson payments are non-refundable once lessons have been delivered, except at our sole discretion.

5. Your Account

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure. You must be at least 13 years old to use the platform. We reserve the right to suspend accounts that violate these Terms or engage in abuse of the platform or community.

6. Satisfaction Guarantee

If you are not satisfied with your app subscription during any billing period, contact us at samadeus@gmail.com for a full refund. No forms, no questions asked. This guarantee applies to app subscription fees only, not lesson payments already delivered.

7. Intellectual Property

All platform content — including lesson materials, audio recordings, flashcard data, and generated lesson guides — is owned by The Jerusalem Bridge or its licensors. You may use it for personal learning purposes only. You may not reproduce, distribute, or resell any content without written permission.

Content you upload (e.g., lesson transcripts, recordings) remains yours. By uploading, you grant us a limited licence to process and display it within the platform for your benefit.

8. AI-Generated Content

Some features use AI models (Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude) to generate lesson summaries, flashcards, and email content. AI-generated content may contain errors. We review all lesson content before it is published to student accounts, but you should use your own judgment and ask your tutor if something seems incorrect.

Lessons may be recorded and transcribed to produce your notes and practice material (see the Privacy Policy). If you prefer a lesson not to be recorded, tell your tutor before it starts.

9. Limitation of Liability

The platform is provided "as is". We are not liable for any loss of data, learning outcomes, or indirect damages arising from use of the platform. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid in the last 3 months.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you by email or in-app notice at least 14 days before material changes take effect. Continued use of the platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
