Effective Date: 29 March 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of products and services provided by Elentus, including the ReadingFox mobile application. Elentus is operated by an individual developer based in Australia. By creating an account or using any Elentus service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old.
The Services are designed for children in Australian school Years 3 to 7 (approximately ages 8 to 12). By adding a child profile, you represent that you are the parent or legal guardian of that child, or that you have proper authorisation from the child's parent or legal guardian.
You may create an account using an email address and password, or through Apple Sign In on iOS devices. You are responsible for providing accurate information.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us immediately at support@elentus.com if you believe your account has been compromised.
Child profiles are created and managed entirely by you. Children do not have independent accounts, passwords, or login credentials.
You are responsible for supervising your child's use of the Services and for all activity under child profiles associated with your account.
The collection and use of children's data is governed by our Privacy Policy.
The Services are provided for personal, non-commercial, educational use only.
You agree not to:
All Content provided through the Services is owned by or licensed to Elentus and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Services and Content for personal, non-commercial, educational purposes.
Some Content, including stories and vocabulary exercises, may be generated or assisted by artificial intelligence. All such Content is reviewed and curated for educational appropriateness.
The Services are currently offered free of charge. We reserve the right to introduce paid features or subscription plans in the future.
If we introduce paid features, we will notify you in advance. Any paid features will be clearly identified before purchase.
Purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play are also subject to the terms of those platforms.
The Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory.
The Services are designed to support reading and vocabulary development but are not a substitute for formal education, professional tutoring, or specialist intervention. We do not guarantee specific educational outcomes.
We do not guarantee that the Services will be available at all times. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the total liability of Elentus shall not exceed the amount you have paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or fifty Australian dollars (AUD $50), whichever is greater.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Elentus shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy conferred by the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010) that cannot be excluded by agreement.
You may terminate your account at any time by deleting it through the app or by contacting support@elentus.com. All your data will be permanently deleted.
We may suspend or terminate your account if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms. Where possible, we will provide notice.
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Australia. If you are located outside Australia, you agree that Australian law applies to these Terms, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Before initiating any formal legal proceedings, you agree to contact us at support@elentus.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. If informal resolution is unsuccessful, any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered under the rules of the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (ACICA), unless prohibited by your local law.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not as part of a class, consolidated, or representative action.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Elentus and its developer from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Services, your violation of any applicable law, or any activity under your account (including your children's use of the Services).
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Elentus. If any provision is found invalid, the remaining provisions continue in full force. Our failure to enforce any provision does not constitute a waiver. You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our consent. We may assign our rights and obligations without restriction.
