These terms apply when you use Cinelingo — the website, the apps and the films we make available through them. Creating an account means you accept them. If you do not, do not create one.
Cinelingo is operated by Cinelingo Ltd. Where we say “we” or “us”, we mean that company.
You need an account to watch anything. Keep it to yourself.
Matinee is free and stays free. Cinelingo+ and Double bill are paid subscriptions, billed monthly or yearly in advance to the card you give us.
Cancel whenever you like, from your account settings. You keep access until the end of the period you have paid for, and your saved phrases stay in your account.
Most of the Cinelingo library is cinema in the public domain. Some titles are licensed, which means they can arrive and leave. We add and retire films as licences change, and we do not promise any single title will stay.
Films are for your own learning, streamed inside Cinelingo. Offline downloads on Cinelingo+ expire and are only playable in the app.
You get a personal, non-transferable licence to watch, pause and study the films inside Cinelingo. That licence does not extend to the following.
Your saved phrases, notes and progress belong to you. We store them so the product works, and we do not publish them or claim ownership.
If you send us feedback or an idea, we may act on it without owing you anything — but we will never quote you publicly without asking.
We work to keep Cinelingo up, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Maintenance, licence changes and problems at our providers can all interrupt playback.
If a paid service is unavailable for a long stretch, write to us and we will credit the time.
You can close your account at any time. We can suspend or close an account that breaks these terms — for piracy, payment fraud or abuse of our staff — and we will tell you why unless the law stops us.
On closure your licence to the films ends immediately. We handle the data as set out in the Privacy Policy.
Cinelingo is a learning tool, not a guarantee of fluency. We provide it as it is, and we do not promise any particular result.
Nothing here limits liability for death, personal injury or fraud caused by us. Otherwise, our liability is capped at what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Your statutory rights as a consumer are unaffected.
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and disputes go to its courts, unless the law where you live gives you the right to your own.
We update these terms occasionally. Material changes get emailed to account holders at least thirty days before they take effect, and the date at the top of this page changes with them.
If a clause here does not read plainly, tell us and we will explain it in writing.
