Effective date: November 13, 2026
The short version. Translate Omatic gives free, automated translations, sample phrases and reference exchange rates. They can be wrong. Don't rely on them for anything where a mistake could hurt someone or cost money: medical care, medicines, allergies, emergencies, legal or immigration matters, contracts, or payments. For those, use a qualified human interpreter or professional. You use the site at your own risk, and our responsibility to you is limited as far as the law allows.
If you live in the United States: section 13 requires most disputes to be settled by individual arbitration instead of in court, and waives jury trials and class actions. You can opt out within 30 days.
This summary is for convenience. The full terms below are what apply.
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Daniel Roy (together with any successor or company that later operates the Service, "we", "us", "our"), the operator of Translate Omatic (the "Service"). The Service includes the website at this domain, its pages, and any copy added to a device's home screen.
How you accept. The first time you open the Service, and again whenever these Terms change in an important way, the Service shows a notice and can't be used until you tap "I agree". By tapping "I agree", and by using the Service after that, you accept these Terms. If you don't agree, don't tap the button and don't use the Service. The Service keeps a note of the version you accepted, and when, in your own browser.
Who may use the Service. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority where you live if that is higher, to accept these Terms. If you are younger than that, you may use the Service only if your parent or legal guardian has read and accepted these Terms for you and is responsible for your use. The Service is not for children under 13 (or under 16 in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), and they must not use it. You must not use the Service if doing so would be unlawful where you are.
Our Privacy Policy explains how information is handled. It is a notice for your information, not part of this agreement.
The Service provides (a) automated machine translation of text you type, paste or speak, supplied by a third party; (b) a small set of sample phrases written in advance; (c) currency conversions based on reference exchange rates from a third party; and (d) related tools such as text-to-speech, speech-to-text, a full-screen "Show" view, saved history on your device and an on-screen keyboard. Everything the Service displays, speaks or produces ("Output") is generated automatically or comes from third parties, is general information only, and is not checked by a human for your situation.
The Service is a convenience tool for casual travel use. It is not a professional, certified or sworn translation or interpreting service; not medical, legal, financial, tax, immigration or safety advice; not a medical device; not an emergency or alerting service; and not a money-changing, payment or financial service. We do not act as your interpreter, adviser, agent or fiduciary, and using the Service creates no professional or special relationship between you and us.
Machine translation is imperfect. Output may be inaccurate, incomplete, out of context, out of date, impolite, culturally inappropriate, offensive, or the opposite of what you meant. It can drop or change words such as "not", names of foods and medicines, numbers, units and amounts. Speech recognition may mishear you or the person you're speaking with. The speaking voice may mispronounce words, and romanised spellings are approximate. Sample phrases are generic: they may not suit your situation, region or the person you're speaking to, and they can't describe your particular needs (for example, the food-allergy phrase does not name any allergen and does not tell anyone how serious an allergy is). Results saved on your device are shown again exactly as first received and are not re-checked. The person reading or hearing Output may still misunderstand it.
You agree that you will not rely on the Service or any Output:
For these purposes, use a qualified human interpreter, translator or professional, and written information prepared or checked by one. You are solely responsible for deciding whether Output is suitable for your purpose, for checking it independently, and for anything you say, show, send, sign, eat, take, buy or do based on it. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you knowingly accept the risk that Output may be wrong.
The short warnings shown in the Service (for example under a translation) are reminders only. They don't replace these Terms, and we have no duty to warn you about any particular mistake or risk.
Currency figures are estimates based on third-party reference (mid-market) rates that are updated only from time to time, typically about once a day, and may be delayed, rounded, incomplete or wrong. When you're offline or the rate source can't be reached, the Service uses the last copy saved on your device, which may be old; the "updated" time shown comes from the rate source or your device and may itself be wrong. The figures are not an offer, quote or guarantee of any rate, and nobody is obliged to trade with you at them. Banks, card issuers, cash machines, exchange offices and merchants use their own rates and add their own fees and margins. Always confirm the actual amount with the provider before you pay or exchange money. The Service does not give financial advice.
The Service relies on third parties we don't control, including the MyMemory translation service (Translated srl), ExchangeRate-API, your browser's or device's speech and voice services (for example those of Apple or Google), our hosting provider, and Google AdSense where advertising is switched on. Their content, availability, accuracy, security and practices are their responsibility, not ours. Your use of them may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies, and they may limit, change or withdraw their services at any time (for example, daily translation limits).
Advertisements are chosen and supplied by Google and its partners, not by us. An advertisement is not our recommendation. Links to third-party websites, including in advertisements, are provided for convenience only; we don't endorse and aren't responsible for them, their products, or any dealings you have with advertisers or other third parties.
You keep any rights you have in the text and speech you submit ("Input"). You give us, and the third-party providers that power the Service, a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free permission to process your Input as needed to provide the Service. The translation provider handles Input under its own terms, which may allow it to keep and use submitted text to run and improve its services; we don't control that. Don't submit anything you aren't allowed to share, anything confidential, or sensitive personal information about yourself or anyone else, such as passwords, payment card or bank numbers, government ID numbers or health records. See the Privacy Policy.
You agree not to: use the Service unlawfully or to harm, harass, defraud or deceive anyone; submit unlawful content or content that infringes anyone's rights; interfere with, overload, probe, scrape, copy, reverse engineer or attack the Service or its providers; get around usage limits; use automated means to access the Service or its providers in bulk; click on advertisements for any reason other than genuine interest, or encourage others to do so; resell the Service or offer it as your own; or present Output as a certified, professional or human translation.
If you show, play or send Output to someone else, you do so on your own responsibility. Those people are not our customers, and you are responsible for making sure they understand that the Output is automated and may be wrong.
The Service's design, code, text, graphics and name are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by law. We give you a personal, limited, revocable, non-transferable permission to use the Service for its intended personal, non-commercial purpose under these Terms. Nothing else is licensed to you. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them freely without owing you anything.
The Service is free, and we have no obligation to provide, maintain, support or update it. We may change, limit, suspend or discontinue any part of it, for anyone, at any time, without notice or liability. We don't promise that it will be available where you are, work on your device, work offline, or be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free. Your history and settings are stored only in your own browser; they can be lost at any time (for example if you or your browser clear site data) and we can't recover them. Using the Service may use mobile data, and roaming or data charges from your carrier are your responsibility.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service and all Output are provided "as is" and "as available", with all faults, and without warranties, conditions or guarantees of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory, including any implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, completeness, reliability, availability and security, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that any translation, sample phrase, speech recognition, pronunciation, romanisation, exchange rate or conversion is accurate, complete, current or suitable for any purpose, or that the Service is free of errors, viruses or other harmful components. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained from us or through the Service creates any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will we, or our owners, members, officers, employees, contractors, agents, successors, licensors or service providers (together with us, the "Protected Parties"), be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or opportunity, or for any personal injury, illness, emotional distress, property damage, financial loss, overpayment, missed or disrupted travel, or other harm, arising out of or relating to the Service, any Output, any mistranslation, misrecognised speech, sample phrase or misunderstanding, any exchange rate or conversion, any unavailability or loss of saved information, any third-party service, advertisement or website, or these Terms, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, statute or any other theory, and even if a Protected Party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total combined liability of the Protected Parties for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed ten US dollars (US$10). These limitations apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. They are an essential part of the bargain: the Service is provided free of charge in reliance on them, and we would not offer it otherwise.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the law that applies to you. In particular, where the applicable law does not allow it, these Terms do not exclude or limit liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for intentional misconduct or gross negligence, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. See also section 12.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Protected Parties from and against claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) brought or claimed by a third party and arising out of or relating to: (a) your Input; (b) your use of the Service in breach of these Terms or of any law; (c) your violation of anyone else's rights; or (d) your showing, sending or otherwise passing Output to anyone else, or anything you or they do in reliance on it. This does not apply to the extent a claim results from our own gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct, or where the law that applies to you does not allow a consumer to give this kind of promise.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release the Protected Parties from claims arising out of disputes between you and any third party connected with the Service, including advertisers, merchants, money changers and anyone you communicate with using Output. If you live in California, you waive California Civil Code section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party." This release does not cover claims that cannot be released by law.
Consumer laws differ from place to place. Some don't allow certain warranties to be excluded, certain liability to be limited, or certain rights to be waived. The exclusions, limits, time limits, indemnity and dispute terms in these Terms apply only to the extent the law that applies to you allows, and nothing in these Terms takes away a right you have that cannot be taken away by contract.
Please read this section carefully. If you live in the United States, it affects your legal rights, including your right to sue in court.
13.1 Talk to us first. Before starting any arbitration or court case, the party with a complaint must send the other a written notice of the dispute. Send yours to moldyandgreen@gmail.com with your name, the country and state where you live, a way to reach you, a description of what happened and when, and what you want us to do. If we have a complaint about you and have a way to reach you, we'll do the same. You and we will then try in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for 30 days after the notice is received. Any time limit for bringing the claim (including the one in section 13.7) is paused during those 30 days. A case may be started only after that period ends.
13.2 Binding individual arbitration (United States residents). This section 13.2 to 13.5 applies only if you live in the United States. Except as stated below, any dispute, claim or controversy between you and any Protected Party arising out of or relating to the Service, any Output or these Terms (including their formation, validity and enforceability) that is not resolved informally will be resolved by final and binding arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator, and not in court. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect when the arbitration is started (available at adr.org), as modified by these Terms. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this arbitration agreement. If the AAA can't or won't administer the arbitration, you and we will choose another established arbitration provider, or a court will appoint one.
13.3 Class-action and jury waiver. You and we each agree that claims may be brought only on an individual basis, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not combine more than one person's claims and may award relief only to the individual party and only as needed to resolve that party's claim. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and we each waive any right to a trial by jury. If a court decides that this section 13.3 can't be enforced for a particular claim or a particular kind of relief (for example, a request for public injunctive relief), then that claim or that relief, and only that, will be separated and decided in court after the arbitration of everything else is finished, and the rest of section 13 will still apply.
13.4 Your right to opt out. You may opt out of the arbitration agreement and class-action waiver in sections 13.2 and 13.3 by emailing moldyandgreen@gmail.com within 30 days after you first accept these Terms, with your name, the state where you live, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out doesn't affect any other part of these Terms, and we won't treat you differently for doing it.
13.5 Changes to this section. If we make an important change to sections 13.2 to 13.4, you may reject that change by emailing us within 30 days after you accept the updated Terms; the earlier version of those sections will then keep applying to you. A change never applies to a dispute that either of us had already given written notice of.
13.6 Governing law and courts. These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service, are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, and applicable US federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any claim that is not subject to arbitration must be brought only in the state or federal courts located in Florida, and you and we consent to the jurisdiction of those courts and to venue there. If you are a consumer living outside the United States, this choice of law does not take away the protection of mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in the courts of that country where its law gives you that right.
13.7 Time limit. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms must be started (by sending the notice in section 13.1) within one (1) year after the claim arose; otherwise it is permanently barred. This does not apply where the law that applies to you does not allow the time limit to be shortened.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date at the top shows when they last changed. Changes apply only from that date forward, never to things that happened earlier. When a change is important, the Service will show the notice again and ask you to accept the updated Terms before you continue. If you don't agree to a change, stop using the Service. A dispute is governed by the version of the Terms you had accepted when the events giving rise to it happened.
Whole agreement. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service and replace any earlier understandings about it. Severability. If any part of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, that part will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted (or removed if it can't be), and the rest will remain in full effect, subject to the specific rule in section 13.3. No waiver. Our not enforcing any part is not a waiver of it. Transfer. You may not transfer your rights or duties under these Terms. We may transfer ours, for example to a company we set up to run the Service or to a new owner, and these Terms will then benefit that company or owner. Others protected. The Protected Parties may rely on and enforce sections 9 to 13. Otherwise, these Terms give no rights to anyone but you and us. Events outside our control. We aren't responsible for failures or delays caused by things outside our reasonable control, including failures of the internet, networks, devices, browsers or third-party providers. Notices. We may give you notices by posting them on the Service. Send notices to us at the contact details in section 17. Lasting terms. Sections 3 to 7 and 9 to 16 continue to apply after you stop using the Service. Language. These Terms are written in English. If they are translated, or if you read them using any translation tool (including this Service), the English version controls, to the extent the law allows. Headings are for convenience only, and "including" means "including without limitation".
California. Under California Civil Code section 1789.3, California users are told the following: the Service is provided free of charge by Daniel Roy, who can be reached at the contact details in section 17. To make a complaint about the Service or to get more information about using it, contact us there. You may also contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.
Accessibility. We want the Service to be usable by as many people as possible, including older travellers. The main screen uses a fixed one-screen layout that limits pinch-zoom inside the page; your device's own accessibility features (such as its screen magnifier) are separate from the Service and remain under your control, and these legal pages can be zoomed normally. If you have difficulty using any part of the Service or reading these Terms, email moldyandgreen@gmail.com and we'll do our best to help or to provide the information another way.
