Historo — Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 10 September 2025

1. Who we are and how these Terms work

1.1 Provider. The Historo mobile application and related services (the “App” or “Historo”) are provided by Sapraxis, a sole proprietorship (auto‑entrepreneur) established in France (“we”, “us”, “our”). Legal and contact details appear in Section 18.

1.2 Contract. These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) are a legally binding contract between you and Sapraxis covering your use of Historo. By installing, accessing, or using Historo, you agree to these Terms.

1.3 Other documents. Our Privacy Policy explains how we process personal data: https://sapraxis.com/privacy. If there is a conflict, these Terms prevail except where consumer protection or data protection law requires otherwise.

1.4 Changes to the Terms. We may update these Terms to reflect legal, technical, or business changes. We’ll post the new version in the App and update the “Last updated” date. For material changes, we will provide reasonable notice (e.g., in‑app notice). Continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.

1.5 Languages. We may provide translations for convenience. To the extent permitted by law, the English version controls. In France, a French version may be provided; in case of discrepancy, the mandatory consumer protections of French law prevail.

2. What Historo is (and isn’t)

2.1 Purpose. Historo offers AI‑powered history learning experiences: short lessons, chats with a virtual tutor, quizzes, weekly challenges, progress/levels, adventures (interactive historical scenarios), and courses (structured learning).

2.2 No professional advice. Historo is for educational and entertainment purposes only. It does not provide academic, legal, medical, or other professional advice. You are responsible for how you use information from the App.

2.3 Availability. The App and its features may change over time. We may introduce, modify, or discontinue features; run experiments; or temporarily suspend access (e.g., maintenance, safety, or legal reasons).

3. Eligibility, accounts, and sign‑in

3.1 Age. Historo is intended for users aged 13+. If you are under the age of majority in your country, you may use Historo only with consent and under the supervision of a parent or guardian who accepts these Terms on your behalf. We do not knowingly permit children under 13 to use the App.

3.2 Account options. Registration is not required. You may:

use an anonymous device‑tied account; or
sign in with Google (Android/iOS) or Apple (iOS) where available.

3.3 Your responsibilities. You’re responsible for your device, internet connection, credentials, and any activity under your account. Keep your sign‑in details secure and notify us of suspected misuse.

3.4 One person per account. Do not share your account. We may take steps to prevent abuse (e.g., rate limits, anti‑fraud checks).

4. Acceptable use and community expectations

4.1 Play fair. Historo includes challenges, leaderboards, streaks, XP, and rewards. Do not cheat, exploit bugs, tamper with scores, farm ads or rewards, or otherwise manipulate results.

4.2 Prohibited conduct. You agree not to: (a) reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to access source code; (b) bypass security or access controls; (c) interfere with, disrupt, or overload our systems; (d) use automated means (bots, scrapers); (e) use the App in violation of law; (f) submit unlawful, defamatory, or infringing content; or (g) engage in harassment or hate speech.

4.3 Moderation. We may remove content, restrict features, or suspend or terminate access where we reasonably believe these Terms or applicable laws are violated.

5. AI‑generated content and important disclaimers

5.1 Nature of content. Historo uses AI to generate historical lessons, chats, courses, quizzes, and adventures (collectively, “AI Content”). AI systems may make mistakes. AI Content can contain errors, omissions, or outdated information.

5.2 No complete guarantee of accuracy. We make no promise that AI Content is factually correct, complete, or suitable for any purpose. You use AI Content at your own risk.

5.3 Reporting inaccuracies. The App offers a way to report problems with AI Content. We encourage you to submit reports; Sapraxis will review inaccuracies promptly and may update models, filters, or content.

5.4 Ownership of outputs. As between you and us, for AI Content generated specifically for you through your use of the App, we grant you a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty‑free license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, and commercialize such outputs without attribution. We do not claim ownership of your outputs.

5.5 Non‑exclusivity and similarity. AI systems can produce similar or identical outputs for different users. We do not guarantee exclusivity or uniqueness of any output.

5.6 Our training and improvement. We may use de‑identified or aggregated usage data (including prompts and outputs) to operate, secure, and improve Historo, consistent with our Privacy Policy.

6. Intellectual property

6.1 Our rights. Except for the license to your AI outputs in Section 5, all rights in the App—including software, code, design, branding, the “Historo” name, and the Historo mascot—are owned by Sapraxis or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws.

6.2 Your license to use the App. We grant you a limited, personal, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you control in accordance with these Terms and the applicable App Store/Play Store rules.

9.3 Availability. We may suspend or limit the App for maintenance, security, legal, or operational reasons. We will act reasonably but do not guarantee any uptime or service level.

10. Third‑party services and links

The App may integrate or link to third‑party services (e.g., sign‑in providers, app stores, ad networks). Your use of those services is governed by their terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for them.

11. Termination and suspension

11.1 Your termination. You may stop using the App at any time. To cancel a subscription, see Section 7.6.

12. Warranties and disclaimers

12.1 As‑is. The App is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non‑infringement, accuracy, and reliability.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sapraxis and its affiliates, licensors, and partners will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenues, data, goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or related to your use of the App.

13.2 Cap. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claims arising out of or relating to the App or these Terms is limited to the greater of: (a) the amounts you paid to Sapraxis for the App in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim; or (b) €50.

13.3 Consumer rights preserved. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law (e.g., for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud). Your statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.

14. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Sapraxis from and against any third‑party claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your unlawful use of the App, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of another’s rights.

15. Governing law and jurisdiction

15.1 EU/France. These Terms are governed by French law, without regard to conflict‑of‑laws rules. If you are a consumer residing in the EU/EEA/UK, you also benefit from mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence.

15.2 Courts. For any dispute that cannot be resolved amicably, the competent courts of Paris, France have non‑exclusive jurisdiction. Consumers may bring proceedings in the courts of their domicile where required by applicable law.

15.3 US users. For US residents, to the extent permitted by law, the laws of France govern these Terms, and courts in Paris, France have non‑exclusive jurisdiction. Nothing here deprives you of non‑waivable protections under US consumer law.

16. Consumer information (EU/France)

16.1 Right of withdrawal. Digital content and subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play may provide statutory withdrawal or refund options as defined by those platforms’ terms and applicable law. Where immediate access is requested and provided, you may acknowledge that you lose the 14‑day withdrawal right for that period, as permitted by law.

16.2 Mediation (France). French consumers have the right to seek mediation.
In the event of a dispute between the Client and the company, both parties shall make every effort to resolve the matter amicably (the Client shall submit a written complaint to the professional or, where applicable, to the professional’s Customer Relations Department). In the absence of an amicable agreement or if the professional fails to respond within a reasonable period of one (1) month, the consumer Client, within the meaning of Article L.612-2 of the French Consumer Code, has the possibility to refer the matter free of charge, should the disagreement persist, to the competent mediator listed on the register of mediators established by the Commission for the Evaluation and Control of Consumer Mediation pursuant to Article L.615-1 of the French Consumer Code, namely:
