Last updated: October 2026
Mil Palavras ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website https://milpalavras.lovable.app and any related products and services that refer or link to these legal terms (the "Legal Terms") (collectively, the "Services").
Mil Palavras is a web application designed to help expats in Portugal build everyday vocabulary and communication confidence in European Portuguese through interactive flashcards, translation feedback loops, and a safe space to practise.
You can contact us by email at milpalavraspt[at]gmail.com.
These Legal Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity ("you"), and Mil Palavras, concerning your access to and use of the Services.

We may change these Legal Terms from time to time. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last updated" date, and you waive any right to receive specific notice of each change. Your continued use of the Services after revised Legal Terms are posted means you accept them.
The Services are intended for users who are at least 18 years old. Persons under the age of 18 are not permitted to use or register for the Services.
1. Our Services

We care about data privacy and security. By using the Services, you agree to be bound by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Legal Terms.
13. Term and Termination
These Legal Terms remain in full force while you use the Services. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion and without notice or liability, to deny access to and use of the Services to any person for any reason.
14. Modifications and Interruptions

We cannot guarantee the Services will be available at all times; maintenance or technical problems may cause interruptions, delays, or errors.
15. Governing Law
These Legal Terms are governed by the laws of Portugal, and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. If you are an EU consumer, you additionally keep the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence. Both parties agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Faro.
16. Dispute Resolution
The parties agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days, starting from written notice by one party to the other.
If unresolved, the dispute shall be determined by one arbitrator under the rules of the European Court of Arbitration, seated in Faro, Portugal, in English or Portuguese. This does not limit any consumer protection rights you have under applicable law.
17. Corrections
The Services may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions. We reserve the right to correct them and to update information at any time without prior notice.
18. Disclaimer
The Services are provided on an as-is and as-available basis, and your use is at your sole risk. Translations and corrections are AI-assisted and may contain errors; verify anything important (legal, medical, or official) with a qualified human translator. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
19. Limitations of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will we be liable to you or any third party for any direct, indirect, consequential, incidental, special, or punitive damages, including lost profit, lost revenue, or loss of data, arising from your use of the Services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
20. Indemnification
