General terms and conditions Terms and Conditions Only the German version of these Terms and Conditions is binding.
Before you use the website www.lengalia.com, please make sure you have read the Terms and Conditions carefully. By using the services that are offered on this website, you are agreeing to the Terms and Conditions. Information about the right of withdrawal for customers, which is regulated by law, can be found under Paragraph V §2 of these Terms and Conditions. References for saving information can be found at Paragraph II of these Terms and Conditions.
The terms of business of Lengalia apply to natural and legal persons, hereafter named users, who use of the Lengalia service. Some services (i.e., Spanish courses and language exchange service) may be considered only under relevant Terms and Conditions. Those are highlighted separately with each particular service. The user, as understood by these Terms and Conditions, and as understood by § 13 “BGB“, refers to a person entering a contract for a the purpose that belongs neither to their commercial nor professional occupation.
The “AGBs“ can be found on www.lengalia.com at any time and can be printed at all times. Furthermore, the “AGBs“can be downloaded to the user's computer. III Subject Matter of the Contract For the purpose of learning Spanish on the Lengalia platform, the user is offered both free and non-free services. There is no legal claim for the service offered by Lengalia. Services requiring a fee consist of a range of uniquely designed Spanish courses. The free service offers a Spanish language exchange service and different learning material for the user (e.g. Spanish movies, podcasts, a choice of many Spanish courses). Further information can be found in the following “AGBs“and on the Internet website www.lengalia.com ('learning Spanish for free').
For the use of the platform, a computer with access to the Internet (preferably ISDN, ADSL) and a recent update of the browser are necessary. For the use of the auxiliary service 'Teacher-support' (V 1b) and V 3b) of these “AGBs“) a Headset and a Skype-account are also needed. Before concluding the contract, the customer is obligated to check if he/she can provide the technical requirements for receiving the service. The user is responsible for providing the technical requirements at his/her own cost.
The user is obligated to keep his/her user name and password confidential and therefore not to give away this data. The user is obligated to protect his/her user name and password from misuse by a third-party. Any activities that are carried out with the user's authorization are the responsibility of the user. The access to the platform is limited to the user. If more than one person is simultaneously logged in with the same user-account, the contract is dissolved and there is no claim for refund of the costs already paid for the course. Lengalia reserves the right to exclude the user and lock access to the platform if the contract is broken. § 3 Right of use
Persons who make use of the offered service from the Lengalia platform have the right to use only the offered data privately. Using this data for commercial purpose is not allowed. Furthermore, it is not permitted to give access to the user's account to a third-party. In case of infringement, the user is obligated to pay compensation for damages. Lengalia is then authorized to cancel the contract without further notice and without a user's claim for a refund of the costs for the courses. § 4 Extension and updates of the service
The Lengalia icon and the name of the Lengalia Company are protected by the Right to a Name. Use of the name needs to be permitted by the Lengalia Company. § 6 Links
The learning platform www.lengalia.com contains selected links to other Internet websites over which Lengalia has no influence. Nor does the company take responsibility for the data and content of other websites, nor does Lengalia accept liability. On May 12, 1998 the Regional Court of Hamburg judged that by placing links on the website, a company would be jointly responsible for damages that might occur from linked websites. This can only be prevented by explicitly disassociating oneself from any content of linked websites. Therefore Lengalia explicitly dissociates itself from any content of the linked websites on the Lengalia homepage and does not claim any of the contents as its own. Lengalia is not liable for any damage done by third-parties (unless such actions are intentional) given on the website.
See our about data protection policy. § 8 Applicable Law/ Place of Jurisdiction The Law of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) applies to any legal transaction or other legalities relating to Lengalia. The application of international arrangements, even if accepted into German Law, is not included. During the contract with a user, this is only the case if the user were to lose the security of various federal consumer-protection laws, which are essential to all persons. If the user is a businessman or a official of public law, the place of business of the Lengalia company is to be the place of jurisdiction for any civil dispute regarding these business conditions and about the validity of any conclusion of the contract with the Lengalia company. V Use of the free service
Lengalia offers a language exchange service on their Internet website. The use of this service is for the purpose of language exchange only. The language exchange enables a user to learn, improve or practice a certain language with the help of another user and in return he/she helps the other person to improve his language skills in another language. Therefore, both parties support each other in learning, improving and using the new language. For this purpose, the Lengalia users may browse for other users on the platform and contact them via Lengalia's email system. Use of the service for commercial purposes is not permitted. § 2 Registration / Use of the language exchange By registering on the Lengalia platform, the user gets the chance to create a personal profile on the website. This profile can be seen by other registered members. After registration the user can view other users' profiles as well. Language exchange members can contact each other by using the Lengalia email system. On all member profiles, the user can find contact information, and by clicking on the link “Write an Email”, all users can contact one another. The exchange of any private contact data on the Lengalia platform for any language exchange service between the users is at one's own risk. Lengalia reserves the right to view any email which is sent within the Lengalia email system and is able to match the email to its user. § 3 User Fee
Lengalia reserves the right to delete profiles and emails of users without their agreement and without indicating reasons should they be in breach of contract. In particular are entries not related to language learning and contain immoral or objectionable comments. § 7 Restriction of Liability

Every time the user accesses the service, the following data is saved: browser (type), browser version, IP address, operating system being used, date and time, sites called up/name of the file called up, amount of data transferred and a report whether the access was successful. This data will only be used for statistical purposes, analysed and afterwards deleted and may also be used to improve the range of services we offer. The data is not linked to any person.

This profile contains the following information: Your username, your native language, your age, your country and, if desired, information about your profession and a personal description of yourself. Your profile can be found and seen by other users who also use the online service. This enables all users of the language service to find suitable language exchange partners.

While you practice, the online trainer automatically creates statistics which record and analyse the progress of your learning. In your statistics we save and make use of data that is needed by other learning tools (for example “Last mistakes“). These tools would not be useable if the data was not available. Therefore we save and use the results and progress you made practicing, in other tools like the vocabulary trainer and the Verb conjugator. Your learning statistics are only visible to you and to the Lengalia teacher or Lengalia team responsible for you. When you book a Lengalia online language course for yourself or on behalf of another person, “teacher” means, for the purposes of this paragraph, any colleague of the Lengalia team. If you use an online course in the context of your company, a school or any other institution the teacher may be appointed by Lengalia or by your company, school, or institution respectively. This data will remain even after deleting the profile. Lengalia only uses this data for statistical purposes (in this case in order to improve the contents of the courses offered). Your information and data will not be passed on to third parties.
