Terms of Use

Effective November 7, 2026 · version 2026-11-07

SwitchLingo is a product of Nova R&D Labs (novard.ai), "we" or "us". It translates the speech in videos and audio with AI. By using it you agree to these terms, our Privacy Policy and the Acceptable Use rules below.

1. Who can use SwitchLingo

Ages 13–17 use Teen mode: translation, subtitles and the standard AI voice, with Clean mode always on. Voice cloning, lip-sync, premium voices, voice recordings and payments aren't available in Teen mode. Teens should use SwitchLingo with a parent or guardian's knowledge.
18 and older can use every feature.
Tell the truth about your age. Choosing a false age group breaks these terms. We may end access, delete content, and apply Teen mode or block access if we learn someone's real age is different. Parents can tell us through the report form.
Under 13: SwitchLingo isn't for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child under 13 used SwitchLingo, tell us through the report form and we'll delete it.

2. Your videos and your rights

Only upload or link videos and audio that you made, own, or have permission to use, or that you're translating for your own personal understanding.
Don't repost or sell translations of other people's videos without the owner's permission.
When you paste a link, you're responsible for following that website's rules. If a link doesn't work, upload a file you have the right to use.
You keep your rights in your content. You give us a limited permission to process it only to create your translation. Uploads and results are deleted automatically after 24 hours.

3. AI voices and voice cloning

Voice-overs are made by AI. Even with "Keep the speaker's voice" turned on, it is never the real person speaking.
Only use voice cloning on your own voice, or when you have the speaker's permission (a parent or guardian's for a minor, the estate's for someone who has died).
Every video we create carries a visible "AI translated" label and hidden metadata saying it's AI-generated. Don't remove or hide them, and don't present an AI voice as the real person.

4. Acceptable use — never use SwitchLingo to:

Create or spread sexual or intimate content of a real person without their consent, or any sexual content involving minors. (Child sexual abuse material is reported to NCMEC and law enforcement.)
Impersonate someone, commit fraud or scams (for example fake calls or messages "from" a family member, boss or official), or get around voice security.
Deceive voters: fake speech by candidates or officials, false election information, or political ads without required AI disclosures.
Harass, threaten, defame, or promote hate or violence.
Record people without permission. California and several other states require everyone's consent to record a private conversation.
Infringe copyright, trademark, privacy or publicity rights, or break any law.

We may remove content, block re-uploads and end access for anyone who breaks these rules. We remove accounts and content of repeat infringers.

5. Translations can be wrong

Machine translation and AI speech recognition make mistakes, especially for less common languages and dialects. Don't rely on SwitchLingo for medical, legal, immigration, court, financial, safety or emergency decisions. Use a certified human interpreter for those.

6. Reporting and takedowns

Intimate images (TAKE IT DOWN Act): report through our report form. We remove valid reports within 48 hours, usually right away, and block identical copies.
Your voice or likeness used without permission: report it and we'll remove it.
Copyright (DMCA): send a notice through the report form. Include the work, where it appears, your contact information, a statement that you believe in good faith the use isn't authorized, a statement under penalty of perjury that your notice is accurate and you're authorized to act, and your signature (typing your name counts). If your content was removed by mistake, you can send a counter-notice the same way.

7. Corrections, votes and sentences you contribute

When you rate or fix a translation, or teach a sentence or recording, you let us store it and use it to improve SwitchLingo's translations and models. Don't include anyone's private information. You can ask us to delete your contributions with the report form (choose "Privacy request").

8. Paid plans

Paid plans are for adults (18+). When paid plans are offered, checkout will clearly show the price, how often you're billed, that the plan renews automatically until you cancel, and how to cancel. You'll be able to cancel online at any time, and we'll send the renewal and trial reminders required by law.

9. No warranty and limited liability

SwitchLingo is provided "as is" without warranties. To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential damages, or for how you use translations or AI voices. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the last 12 months (or $50 if you paid nothing). You agree to cover claims that come from your content or your misuse of SwitchLingo.

10. Changes and governing law

We may update these terms and will change the date above when we do. California law applies, except where your local law gives you rights that can't be waived.

Questions or legal notices: use the contact & report form.
