Terms of Use

FrenchAlly is in a free, invitation-only beta. We don't charge for it and we don't ask for payment details.

• Because it's a beta, you'll come across inconsistencies and mistakes. Thank you for helping us by telling us about them with the Feedback button.
• Features may change, break, or be paused while we improve them.
• We may end the beta. If we do, we'll tell you in the app at least 14 days before, so you can download your notes and practice record.
• If we ever introduce paid plans, we'll ask you to accept new terms first. Nothing will ever be charged automatically.

• To keep FrenchAlly affordable, AI features have weekly limits for each beta user: writing corrections, speaking sessions, help-chat messages, and other AI tools such as translations, word cards and sentence checks. By using FrenchAlly, you accept these limits.
• Limits reset every Monday at midnight, Toronto time (Eastern Time). The app shows what you have left.
• Drills, the conjugator and the gender checker have no limit. We may adjust limits during the beta and will show the new ones in the app.

• You must be 18 or older.
• One account per person. Keep access to your email secure: anyone who can open your sign-in link can use your account.
• We may refuse, suspend or close an account that breaks these terms.

• FrenchAlly is an independent practice tool. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by France Éducation international (owner of the TCF and TCF Canada), Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), or the Centre for Canadian Language Benchmarks. “TCF”, “TCF Canada” and “CLB” are used only to describe what you can practise.
• Corrections, suggestions and rubric comments are AI-evaluated and may contain occasional irregularities. FrenchAlly doesn't estimate TCF scores or CLB levels from your practice. Its feedback is practice guidance, and we don't guarantee any exam result, language level, points or immigration outcome.
• FrenchAlly does not give immigration or legal advice. Information about CLB levels or IRCC requirements is general and may be out of date: always check the official IRCC website, or consult a licensed immigration consultant or lawyer.

• Your writing and speaking are evaluated by AI together with an automatic grammar checker. The examiner, the help chat, translations and word cards are AI too.
• Never share personal information, yours or anyone else's, in anything you write, say or ask: names and addresses, phone numbers, ID, passport or immigration file numbers, health, financial or banking details. What you send is processed by AI providers. When a task asks about your life, invent the details: only your French is evaluated.
• AI can be wrong. It can “hallucinate”: state rules, words or facts that sound right but aren't, miss mistakes, or answer the same question differently. Use your own judgement and double-check anything important.
• If the AI ever gives you something unintended (wrong, offensive, inappropriate or unsafe), please report it with “This is wrong” on the answer or the Feedback button. We read every report.

• You own what you write, say and save in FrenchAlly: texts, transcripts, notes and word cards (“your content”).
• You allow us to store and process your content, and to send it to the service providers listed in the Privacy Policy, only to run FrenchAlly for you — for example to correct a text, transcribe your voice or show your progress.
• We don't sell your content, we don't use it for advertising, and we don't use it to train AI models.
• Don't submit personal information (yours or other people's), or content you don't have the right to share.

When you send feedback, ideas or bug reports, you allow us to use them to improve FrenchAlly without any obligation to you. We won't publish your name or your content with it without asking.

Everything you write or say in FrenchAlly is evaluated by AI, so keep it respectful and lawful. Any violation of these rules will result in your access being withdrawn. Please don't:

• submit abusive, harassing, hateful, threatening, sexual or violent content, or anything illegal;
• ask FrenchAlly for help with anything illegal or harmful, or try to make its AI produce such content or get around its safeguards;
• upload real TCF exam questions or other material you don't have the right to share;
• try to get around the usage limits (for example with several accounts), overload the service, scrape it, or access it with bots;
• try to access other people's data, probe or attack our systems, or reverse-engineer them to do so.

Lessons, exercises, practice prompts and the app itself are ours (practice prompts are original, never copied from the exam). You may use them for your own, non-commercial learning. Some reference data comes from third parties under their licences: the Lefff lexicon (LGPL-LR, Benoît Sagot), conjugation tables generated with verbecc (LGPL-3.0), and LanguageTool.

You can download your data and delete your account at any time in Settings. If we close an account for a breach of these terms, we'll tell you why when we can. What happens to your data is described in the Privacy Policy.

The beta is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. We do our best to keep it working and accurate, but we can't promise it will be error-free or always available.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses (such as a missed exam score, immigration outcome, lost opportunity or lost data), and our total liability for any claim about this free beta is limited to CAD $50. Nothing in these terms removes rights you have under consumer protection laws that can't be waived, including in Québec.

We may update these terms as FrenchAlly grows. For important changes, we'll tell you in the app and ask you to accept the new version before you continue. The date at the top shows the current version.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, and disputes go to the courts of Ontario. If you live in Québec or another province, you keep any protections its consumer laws give you, including the right to bring a claim where you live when that law allows it.
