2. What the service provides
Sound It Out is an educational phonics practice app. Children hear phonemes, tap them in order, and blend words. Parents can create child profiles, view progress, and manage practice. The app is not a replacement for a teacher, tutor, or reading intervention professional.

- You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure.
- You control the child profiles linked to your account and may delete them at any time.
- Do not create profiles for children you do not have legal authority to supervise.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to misuse the service, including attempting to access another user's account, scraping data, uploading harmful content, or interfering with the app's operation. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules.
5. Intellectual property
The content, design, audio, and code of Sound It Out belong to us or our licensors. You may use the service for personal, non-commercial purposes only. You may not copy, reverse-engineer, or resell the app or its content.
6. Termination
You may stop using the service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if we believe these terms have been violated or if continued use would harm the service or other users.
7. Disclaimers
The service is provided "as is" for educational practice. We do not guarantee specific learning outcomes. We are not responsible for technical issues outside our control, such as internet outages or device problems.
