Terms of Use

Pick Up: Learn Phrasal Verbs · Last updated: 27th of August 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Cassio Lemos, the developer of Pick Up: Learn Phrasal Verbs ("the app", "we", "us"). By downloading, installing, or using the app, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

The app

Pick Up is a phrasal-verb learning app. The app is free to use. It does not currently offer in-app purchases, subscriptions, or advertising. If that changes in the future, this page will be updated before any such feature is enabled.

Accounts and the weekly tournament

You can use the app fully without creating an account. If you choose to join the optional weekly leaderboard tournament, you create an account with an email address and password, and you choose a public alias. You are responsible for:

Keeping your account credentials secure
The accuracy of the information you provide when registering
All activity that happens under your account

Your chosen alias is permanent once set and cannot be changed later. See the Privacy Policy for what account data is collected and how it's used.

Acceptable use

When using the tournament or leaderboard features, you agree not to:

Cheat, exploit bugs, or use automated tools (bots, scripts) to inflate your score or ranking
Choose an alias that is offensive, impersonates another person, or infringes someone else's rights
Attempt to access another user's account or interfere with the leaderboard's operation
Use the app for any unlawful purpose

We may suspend or delete an account that violates these rules.

Intellectual property

The app, including its design, content, phrasal-verb material, and code, is owned by the developer or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You're granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the app for your own learning purposes. You may not copy, redistribute, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works from the app except as permitted by the app store terms you downloaded it under or by applicable law.

No warranty

The app is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted availability. Learning content is provided for educational purposes and we don't guarantee any specific learning outcome.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the developer is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the app.

Third-party services

The app uses Firebase (Google Cloud) for optional account authentication and the tournament leaderboard. Your use of those features is also subject to Google's Terms of Service.

Termination

You can stop using the app and delete your tournament account at any time from Settings, as described in the Privacy Policy. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms.

Changes to these Terms

If these Terms change, the updated version will be posted at this same address with a revised "last updated" date. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Australia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, unless a different law is required by the app store or jurisdiction through which you obtained the app.

Apple App Store users

If you downloaded the app from the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that:

These Terms are between you and the developer only, not Apple, and Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
In the event of any failure of the app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app.
Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app, including product liability claims, legal compliance claims, or claims under consumer protection law.
Apple is not responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, or discharge of any third-party claim that the app infringes their intellectual property rights.
Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance, Apple will have the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

Google Play users

If you downloaded the app from Google Play, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service.

This document is not legal advice. It reflects the app's current features (free, no purchases, optional Firebase-backed account for the leaderboard). If you add in-app purchases, subscriptions, or ads later, or if you're specifically targeting the EU/UK, California, or other jurisdictions with additional consumer-protection requirements, it's worth a review by someone qualified before publishing.
