Last updated: November 3, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Canary Tech, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Canary", "we", "us"). Our address is 3229 Greenpoint Ave, PMB 276, Long Island City, NY 11101, USA. You can reach us at team@laxir.us.
These Terms cover the Canary mobile apps, the website https://www.singwithcanary.com and everything you can do in them (together, the "Service").
Canary Tech, Inc. provides the Service. Laxir Corp is identified as the app's publisher in Apple's App Store. Each company remains responsible for obligations the law places on it. These Terms do not limit your rights against either company. The app store you download from may have its own terms, which also apply to your download and purchases there.
Our Privacy Policy, at https://www.singwithcanary.com/privacy, explains how we collect and use personal information. Agreeing to these Terms does not provide any separate privacy consent required by law.
The Lesson & Refund Policy applies when you book a paid lesson as a learner. The Tutor Terms apply when you provide lessons as a tutor. You can read the applicable agreement in the app before accepting it. For a learner's booking, the agreed price and time come first, then the Lesson & Refund Policy, then these Terms. For your work as a tutor, the agreed booking price and time come first, then the Tutor Terms, then these Terms. The Tutor Terms do not impose tutor obligations or liability limits on you when you act as a learner. Mandatory law always applies.
These Terms apply when you accept them through an action clearly identified as agreement to these Terms. You must have an opportunity to read them before accepting.
For US users, section 18 allows either party to require individual arbitration instead of a court trial for covered disputes. It includes a class-action waiver, exceptions, and a 30-day right to opt out. Read section 18 before accepting. A valid arbitration opt-out under these Terms, the Lesson & Refund Policy, or the Tutor Terms applies to all three agreements. Accepting another Canary agreement or a later version does not cancel an earlier valid opt-out. Canary will not rely on another of these agreements to override that opt-out.
Canary helps you learn languages through music and people. Depending on your app version, country and account, the Service may include:
Some features are offered only to some users, for example as a test. We may change the Service to comply with law, address security risks, maintain compatibility, or improve its operation. Changes must be reasonable and proportionate to their purpose. We will provide updates required by law. We will not charge extra for a change during a paid subscription period.
If a change has more than a minor negative effect on your access to or use of the Service, we will explain it in advance and provide any notice required in a form you can keep unchanged. You may end the affected contract without a termination fee and receive a proportionate refund for any unused prepaid period. You may exercise this change-related right within 30 days after receiving the notice or the change taking effect, whichever is later. Any longer or additional legal rights still apply. Store subscriptions must also be canceled through the store.
Refunds and withdrawal:
Withdrawal form. To Canary Tech, Inc., 3229 Greenpoint Ave, PMB 276, Long Island City, NY 11101, USA; team@laxir.us. I withdraw from my contract for: ______. Ordered on: ______. Consumer's name: ______. Consumer's address: ______. Signature, only if sent on paper: ______. Date: ______.
"Your content" means what you create or share in the Service, such as your profile, photos, messages, voice and video recordings you choose to send, notes and reviews.
You must not:
You can block and report people in the app. Report illegal or unsafe content in the app or at team@laxir.us. Include where it appears and why you believe it breaks the law or these Terms. You may ask us to review a moderation decision at the same email address. Our decision does not prevent you from using legal remedies or contacting a regulator.
The Service includes content from Canary, users and third parties. Rights in your content are addressed in section 6. Third-party content remains subject to its owners' rights. Availability through the Service does not give you ownership of that content.
Unless a separate license or applicable law permits more, you may use content supplied through the Service only for personal, noncommercial learning through the features provided.
When you use embedded YouTube features, you agree to YouTube's Terms of Service at https://www.youtube.com/t/terms. Embedded videos are supplied through their third-party player. Their availability does not grant permission to extract audio, download media, or reuse songs, lyrics or translations outside rights separately granted by the relevant rights holder or applicable law.
Some features use artificial intelligence from our providers. AI answers, translations, scores and recaps are generated automatically and may be wrong, incomplete or inappropriate. AI output is a language-learning aid. It is not medical, legal, financial or other professional advice. Check important information before acting on it. Scores and feedback are estimates, not certifications of language ability. These warnings do not reduce your rights to a service provided as described and with the care and skill required by law.
AI practice partners are not real people, even when they have a name and a photo. Do not put sensitive personal information into AI features. AI features may process the text or voice input you provide to those features, as explained in our Privacy Policy. Agreeing to these Terms does not provide any separate consent required for that processing. Paid lesson recaps follow the data-use description in the Lesson & Refund Policy.
Canary and tutors intend an independent business relationship. A tutor's legal status depends on applicable law and how the work is performed. Nothing in these Terms removes employment or worker rights that cannot be waived. Paid lessons are booked, paid and carried out under the Lesson & Refund Policy, and tutors provide them under the Tutor Terms. If these Terms conflict with the agreement applicable to your role, the order in section 1 applies.
Send copyright concerns to Canary Tech, Inc. at team@laxir.us or 3229 Greenpoint Ave, PMB 276, Long Island City, NY 11101, USA. Include: your contact details; the work you say is infringed; where the content is in the Service; a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; a statement that your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and your physical or electronic signature.
Our policy is to terminate the accounts of repeat copyright infringers in appropriate circumstances.
If your content was removed because of a copyright notice and you believe this was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice. Include your physical or electronic signature, the content removed and its former location, and a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith that removal resulted from a mistake or misidentification. Include your name, address and telephone number. Your counter-notice must state that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address. If your address is outside the United States, it must state that you consent to a federal judicial district where Canary may be found. You must also agree to accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person's agent.
We forward a valid counter-notice to the original complainant. Under the DMCA process, removed material is ordinarily restored between 10 and 14 business days after receipt of a valid counter-notice, unless we receive notice that the complainant has filed an action seeking a court order against the alleged infringement. Another lawful basis for restricting the content may still apply.
The Service, including its software, design, characters, logos and our own content, belongs to Canary or its licensors. We give you a personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use the app's features available to your account under these Terms. If you are approved as a tutor, this includes providing lessons under the Tutor Terms. This license does not grant additional rights in songs, lyrics or other third-party content. Suspension or termination of this license must follow section 13. For the iOS app, the additional license terms in section 21 apply. Feedback you send us may be used to improve Canary without payment to you; it does not give us ownership of your content.
We may restrict features, remove content, or suspend or close an account when reasonably needed because of a serious breach of these Terms, a credible safety risk, suspected fraud or misuse, a legal requirement, or a risk to other users or to the Service. What we do must fit the problem. We explain our decision and tell you how to ask for a review, unless the law lets or requires us to hold that information back. You may ask us to review a restriction or closure by emailing team@laxir.us. We give notice in advance when we reasonably can, and may act at once for urgent safety, fraud or legal reasons.
Ending access does not automatically forfeit prepaid fees. If we permanently end your paid access without a serious breach by you, you are entitled to a proportionate refund for the unused prepaid period. If we suspend paid access without a serious breach by you, you are entitled to a proportionate refund for the period of lost access. This includes renewal payments covering that period. We may offer an extension or credit instead, but you do not have to accept it in place of a refund. App store refunds use the applicable store process. Contact us if that process does not resolve a refund owed by Canary. Store procedures do not remove Canary's own refund obligations. Any deduction following your breach must be permitted by law and proportionate.
Closing or suspending your Canary account does not itself cancel a store subscription. Cancel future renewals through the store. We will help you identify the appropriate cancellation and refund process. Closing an account never takes away a refund or other right the law gives you.
We work hard to keep Canary running and useful, but we do not promise that it will always be available, error-free or right for your goals, or that you will reach a certain level in a language. To the extent the law allows, the Service is provided "as is". Nothing in these Terms limits warranties or rights that consumer law gives you and that cannot be excluded.
Canary is responsible for foreseeable loss caused by its breach of these Terms or by not using the care and skill the law requires. Canary is not responsible for loss that was not foreseeable, or for business losses if you use the Service for a business. The foreseeability rule does not restrict statutory compensation or other remedies that the law does not allow us to limit.
The following financial cap does not apply to consumers in the EU or UK. For other claims, and only to the extent enforceable under applicable law, Canary's total liability arising from the Service is limited to the greater of US$100 or the total amount you paid for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. Payments through Apple or Google count toward that amount. This cap does not limit refunds, other amounts Canary owes you under these Terms, or any liability excluded from limitation in the next paragraph. Learner claims about paid tutor lessons follow the Lesson & Refund Policy. Claims arising from your work as a tutor follow the Tutor Terms.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence, willful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability the law does not allow us to exclude or limit. Refunds and other mandatory consumer remedies stay available.
If you use the Service for a business, you will repay Canary reasonable amounts finally awarded to a third party, or paid in a settlement you approved, to the extent caused by your fraud, intentional misconduct, infringement of someone's rights, or material breach of these Terms. This does not apply to you as a consumer, or where the law does not allow it. This indemnity does not cover Canary's own fault or obligations the law places on Canary. Canary must notify you promptly, cooperate reasonably, and allow you to control the defense with competent lawyers, subject to reasonable safeguards for conflicts of interest. Neither party may settle a claim in a way that admits the other's fault or imposes nonfinancial obligations on the other without consent. For claims arising from your work as a tutor, the Tutor Terms apply instead. Booking or attending a lesson as a learner does not make you responsible for a tutor's indemnity obligations.
Delaware law governs these Terms, but this choice does not take away mandatory protections of the law that would otherwise apply to you. As a consumer, you may bring a claim in any court available to you under mandatory law, including the courts where you live when that right applies. Subject to those protections, either of us may choose arbitration as provided in section 18. Disputes that remain for a court go to the state courts in New Castle County, Delaware, or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware when it has jurisdiction, unless applicable law or section 18 allows another court. Either of us may bring an eligible individual claim in a small claims court.
This section applies only if you live in the United States. It does not apply to consumers in the EU or the UK, or anywhere the law does not allow it.
Either of us may choose binding individual arbitration of a dispute about these Terms or the Service, except: an eligible individual claim in a small claims court; a claim about employment or worker status or related legal rights; or a claim the law does not allow to be arbitrated under this section. The American Arbitration Association runs the arbitration under its consumer rules (https://www.adr.org/consumer) when the claim is a consumer claim, and its commercial rules otherwise. A court decides whether this arbitration agreement was formed, whether it can be enforced, and whether it covers a claim.
You may choose a hearing by video or in the county where you live. If you start arbitration, your filing fee will not exceed the lower of the amount allowed by the applicable AAA rules and the fee you would pay to bring the claim in your local court, including any applicable fee waiver. Canary pays the remaining AAA and arbitrator fees and any additional amount the rules or law require. If Canary starts arbitration, Canary pays the AAA and arbitrator fees. The arbitrator may award the remedies available for an individual claim.
To the extent the law allows, claims covered by this section go ahead individually, not as class claims. This section never waives public injunctive relief or any other representative or statutory remedy that cannot be waived. A claim or remedy that cannot lawfully go ahead in individual arbitration may go to court. Either of us may contact a regulator, or ask a court for temporary relief needed to protect rights while the arbitration runs.
You may opt out of this section by emailing team@laxir.us within 30 days after you first accept it, or after you accept a material change to it. Include your name and account email. Opting out does not change your access to Canary. If the American Arbitration Association cannot run a covered dispute under these Terms, either of us may bring it in a competent court.
We may update these Terms to reflect changes in law or changes to the Service permitted by section 2. Subscription price changes follow section 5. We explain material changes and give at least 30 days' notice in the app or by email, or longer where the law requires. An urgent legal or security change may apply sooner only where the law allows. A change never takes away rights you already have for past events, paid periods or confirmed bookings. Where your agreement is required, a change applies to you only after you accept it. Rejecting a change does not forfeit rights for an existing paid period or confirmed booking. If we cannot continue the affected Service on the existing terms, the termination and refund protections in sections 2 and 13 apply. The date at the top shows the latest version.
If you obtained the app from Apple's App Store, these Terms are between you and Canary, not Apple. As between Canary and Apple, Canary is responsible for the app and its content.
Your license is nontransferable and allows you to use the app on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. The app may also be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing, as those rules permit.
Canary is responsible for maintenance and support required by these Terms or applicable law. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support.
If the app fails to meet an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple. Apple will refund the app's purchase price, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. As between Canary and Apple, Canary is responsible for other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to a failure to meet an applicable warranty.
As between Canary and Apple, Canary is responsible for addressing claims about the app or your possession or use of it. These include product-liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer-protection, privacy or similar laws. If a third party claims that the app or your possession or use of it infringes intellectual property rights, Canary, not Apple, is responsible for investigating, defending, settling and discharging that claim.
You must comply with applicable third-party agreements when using the app, including your wireless service agreement.
You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US government embargo or designated by the US government as a country that supports terrorism. You also represent that you are not on a US government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Upon your acceptance, Apple has the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
Nothing in this section limits rights or liability that applicable law does not allow to be limited.
