Terms of Service
Last updated: December 2024
Welcome to GuruTrans
These terms govern your use of GuruTrans translation tools and services. By using GuruTrans, you agree to these terms. If you disagree with any part, please don't use our service.
We've tried to keep this readable. The summary boxes are not legally binding—they're just there to help you understand each section.
What GuruTrans Does

- Personal communication and learning
- Creative projects and entertainment
- General-purpose translation assistance

Your Account
Many features work without an account. If you create one:
- Use accurate information when signing up
- Keep your password secure—don't share it
- You're responsible for all activity under your account
- Tell us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access
- One account per person (no sharing or selling accounts)
Acceptable Use
Use GuruTrans responsibly. You agree NOT to:
- Generate harmful content: No hate speech, harassment, threats, or content that promotes violence
- Spam or abuse: No automated mass requests, scraping, or overwhelming our servers
- Illegal activities: Don't use translations for fraud, deception, or any unlawful purpose
- Impersonation: Don't pretend translations are from official sources when they're not
- Circumvent limits: Don't bypass usage limits, rate limiting, or access controls
- Resell without permission: Don't commercialize our service without a business agreement
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.
Translation Accuracy Disclaimer
Important: GuruTrans uses AI for translations. AI is powerful but not perfect. Our translations:
- May contain errors, especially for complex or specialized content
- Should not be used for legal, medical, or safety-critical documents
- Are not substitutes for professional human translators
- May not capture all cultural nuances or idioms perfectly
For important documents, always have a qualified human translator review the output. GuruTrans is a tool to assist, not replace, professional translation services.
Your Content
You own the text you input and the translations you generate. By using GuruTrans:
- You confirm you have the right to translate the content you submit
- You're responsible for ensuring your content doesn't violate others' rights
- We don't claim ownership of your input or output
- We don't store your translations (see our Privacy Policy)
Paid Services & Refunds
For premium features and subscriptions:
- Prices are displayed before purchase and may change with notice
- Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled before the renewal date
- Refunds may be available within 7 days of purchase if you haven't used premium features extensively
- Credits and one-time purchases are generally non-refundable once used

Service Availability
We strive for reliable service, but:
- We don't guarantee 100% uptime—maintenance and issues happen
- Features may change, be updated, or discontinued
- Third-party AI services we depend on may have their own outages

To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- GuruTrans is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind
- We're not liable for damages from translation errors, service interruptions, or misuse of translations
- Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the past 12 months (or $100 if you haven't paid anything)
- We're not responsible for third-party content or services
Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so these may not fully apply to you.

Termination
Either party can end this agreement:

- Upon termination, your right to use the service ends
- Sections about liability, IP, and disputes survive termination
Changes to Terms
