These Terms of Use are the agreement between you and Noos. They govern your access to and use of the Noos website at noosflashcards.com and the Noos application (together, the "Service"). Please read them: they set out what we owe you, what you owe us, and the limits of both.
Publisher: Noos is published by Maxime Kaiser, an individual publishing on a non-professional basis, established in France.
Contact: official@noosflashcards.com. This is the address for every notice under these Terms, for support, for privacy requests, and for copyright complaints. We aim to answer within a few working days.
Hosting: the Service is hosted by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, on Google Cloud and Firebase infrastructure.
Noos is not currently operated through a company. If that changes, we will update this section and, where the law requires it, tell you directly.
You accept these Terms when you tick the acceptance box while creating an account. You cannot create an account without doing so. We record the date of your acceptance and the version of these Terms and of the Privacy Policy that you accepted.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not create an account and do not use the Service.
Noos is a flashcard application built around spaced repetition. With an account you can create folders, stacks and cards; study them on a review schedule; publish stacks for other people to find and copy; browse and import stacks published by others; use AI features that suggest card text, read images you upload and generate spoken audio; and study the official stacks we publish ourselves.
The Service is free. Noos does not currently sell subscriptions and does not take payment. Plans described elsewhere on the site as upcoming are not on sale, and nothing in these Terms obliges you to pay anything. If we introduce paid plans, we will publish the commercial terms (price, billing, renewal, cancellation and your right of withdrawal) and ask for your agreement before charging you anything.
Noos is still being built. Features may change, break, or be withdrawn. We may add, alter or remove functionality at any time.
You keep your rights. The folders, stacks, cards, text and images you create or upload remain yours ("Your Content"). Noos claims no ownership of them.
The licence you give us. So that we can run the Service, you grant Noos a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable licence to host, store, copy, adapt for technical purposes, publish, display and distribute Your Content, for as long as you keep it on the Service. This licence exists only to operate the Service. We do not sell Your Content and we do not use it for advertising.
What you promise. You confirm that you own Your Content or otherwise hold all rights needed to grant that licence; that it infringes nobody's intellectual property, privacy or other rights; that it is lawful; and that it contains no personal data about other people that you are not entitled to publish.
Keep your own copy. Noos is not a backup service. We may lose data, and deleted content generally cannot be recovered. Keep an independent copy of anything that matters to you.
Every stack has a visibility setting that you control, on every plan. New stacks are created public unless you change that setting; you can change it at any time, before or after saving.
Public means public on the open internet, not merely visible to other Noos members. If you set a stack to public, you authorise us to:
Making a stack private stops future publication, but it cannot undo the past. It does not delete copies other people have already imported. Those copies belong to the user who imported them, and they survive both your change of mind and the deletion of your account. It also does not remove the page from search engine caches, web archives or other third-party copies that we do not control.
Think of publishing a stack the way you would think of posting anything else publicly online: reversible going forward, not reversible backward.
Some features use third-party AI models to suggest card text, analyse images you upload, and generate spoken audio. To provide them, the text, images and language settings you submit are sent to those providers and processed on their systems. Our Privacy Policy names them.
AI output is generated automatically and is not checked by a person. It can be wrong in ways that look convincing: mistranslations, incorrect definitions, bad grammar, wrong pronunciation. You are responsible for verifying anything you rely on. We give no warranty that AI output is accurate, complete or fit for any purpose.
Noos is not a school, a certifying body or a translation service, and the Service is not a substitute for professional teaching or advice. Do not rely on it where being wrong carries a real cost, such as an examination, a medical or legal term, or a professional obligation.
As between you and Noos, suggestions generated for you are yours to use, and the section on Your Content applies to them once you save them. Because these models are generative, similar output may be produced for other users; we do not guarantee that any output is unique or that using it infringes nobody's rights.
Do not submit other people's personal data, confidential information, or unlawful material to these features.
You agree not to:
You also agree not to create, upload or publish through the Service any content that:
We may remove, unpublish or restrict access to content, and suspend or close accounts, where we reasonably believe these rules or the law have been broken. Where it is lawful and practical, we will tell you why.
If you believe content on Noos infringes your rights or is unlawful, write to official@noosflashcards.com with: the work or right concerned, the address of the page complained of, enough detail for us to locate the content, your contact details, and a statement that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them.
We review complaints promptly and act where they are well founded. We will normally pass the substance of a complaint to the user who posted the content so they can respond, and we will restore content removed in error.
The Service itself belongs to Noos and its licensors. That includes the software, the interface, the Noos name and logo, our text, graphics, and the official stacks we publish. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to use the Service for your own personal learning, in the way it is designed to be used. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
You may not copy, modify, decompile or reverse-engineer the Service, remove our notices, or use our name or branding without written permission.
Our Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and the rights you have over it. It forms part of these Terms.
The Service relies on third-party providers and may link to third-party sites. We are not responsible for their content, practices or availability, and their terms and privacy policies govern your use of them.
We give no uptime commitment. The Service may be unavailable for maintenance, upgrades, failures at our providers, or reasons outside our control, sometimes without notice. We may suspend, limit or discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, at any time.
We take reasonable care of your data but we do not guarantee that content can be recovered once lost or deleted, and we operate no restore service for individual accounts. If we discontinue the Service altogether, we will give reasonable notice where we can, so that you have an opportunity to retrieve your content.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that it will produce any particular learning result.
Nothing in this section affects rights that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including the statutory guarantees available to consumers.
To the fullest extent permitted by law:
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability where it would be unlawful to do so. That includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, and for any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited. Consumers' statutory rights are unaffected.
To the extent permitted by law, and where you are not acting as a consumer, you agree to hold Noos harmless from claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from content you publish through the Service, from your breach of these Terms, or from your misuse of the Service. We will tell you promptly of any such claim and will not settle it without consulting you.
We may suspend or close your account if we reasonably believe you have broken these Terms or the law, if your use puts the Service or other users at risk, or if we are required to. Where the breach is minor and can be put right, we will normally warn you first.
You may stop using the Service at any time.
You can delete your account yourself from the Settings page. Deletion is permanent: your profile, folders, stacks, cards and activity history are erased and cannot be restored.
Two things survive it, and you should know both before you delete. Copies of your public stacks that other users imported remain in those users' accounts. And pages that were public may persist in search engine caches and third-party archives we do not control.
If you ever hold a paid subscription, you will need to cancel it before deleting your account. The Service will tell you so, and will not delete the account while a subscription is live, precisely so that you are never left being charged for an account you no longer have.
We may amend these Terms. For material changes, such as new obligations for you, new uses of your content, or the introduction of fees, we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email or in the application before they take effect, and we will update the "Last updated" date above.
If you do not accept a change, stop using the Service and delete your account before the change takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after that date means you accept the amended Terms. We will never make a change that starts charging you money without asking you to agree to it first.
These Terms, and any dispute arising out of them or out of your use of the Service, are governed by French law.
We would much rather resolve a problem directly, so please write to official@noosflashcards.com first; most things are settled that way.
If a dispute cannot be resolved, the courts of France have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country. Consumers resident in the European Union may also use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform.
You have statutory rights that a contract cannot take away, and nothing in these Terms limits them. Where any clause here gives you less than the law guarantees you, the law applies instead of that clause.
Noos does not currently charge for the Service. If we introduce paid plans, consumers in the EEA and the UK will have a 14-day right of withdrawal, and we will set out how it works before you buy anything.
We may transfer these Terms, and our rights and obligations under them, to a company we form to operate Noos, or to a successor in connection with a reorganisation, merger or sale of the business. We will tell you if that happens. Your rights under these Terms will not be reduced by the transfer, and if you are a consumer you may close your account if you would rather not continue with the new operator.
You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our written consent.
