Terms of Use
Effective date: October 1, 2026 Last updated: October 31, 2026
These Terms are an agreement between you and David Levinov, an individual trader operating under the name Whizzu ("Whizzu", "we", "us"). They cover whizzu.com, the free games, the founding member waitlist and the Whizzu apps. By using Whizzu you accept them. If you do not agree, please do not use Whizzu.
The service
Whizzu offers short lessons, quizzes and games for general learning. Some features are free; others need a paid subscription once the apps launch. Before launch, everything on whizzu.com is free and founding member perks may change.
Who can use Whizzu
You must be at least 16 years old. If you are below the age of majority where you live, you need a parent's or guardian's permission. By using Whizzu you confirm this is true.
Your account
You may need an account (by email, Apple or Google) to save progress. Keep your sign in details safe, do not share your account, and tell us at team@whizzu.com if you think someone else is using it. You are responsible for activity on your account.
Display names and leaderboards
If you sign in to a game, your display name and scores appear on public leaderboards. Your display name must not be offensive, impersonate anyone, or include personal contact details. We may change or remove a display name that breaks this rule. You allow us to show your display name and scores on whizzu.com and in the apps while they are listed.
Subscriptions
5.1 Buying. Prices, billing period and what is included are shown before you pay. App purchases are handled by Apple or Google; web purchases by our payment provider, which acts as the seller of record. We never see your full card details.
5.2 Automatic renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period at the then current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date.
5.3 Free trials. If a trial is offered, it turns into a paid subscription when it ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before. We will remind you before the first charge where the store allows it.
5.4 Cancelling.
- iPhone or iPad: Settings, your name, Subscriptions, Whizzu.
- Android: Google Play, Payments and subscriptions, Subscriptions, Whizzu.
- Web: the link in your purchase receipt, or write to team@whizzu.com.
Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep access until the end of the period you paid for. Deleting the app or your account does not cancel a subscription.
5.5 Refunds. App purchases are refunded by Apple or Google under their policies; please ask them directly. For web purchases write to team@whizzu.com. Otherwise payments are not refundable, except where the law says they must be.
5.6 EU, EEA and UK right of withdrawal. You may withdraw from a purchase within 14 days without giving a reason. When you buy, we ask you to agree that the service starts immediately and that you lose the right of withdrawal once it has started. If you do not agree to that, access starts after the 14 days. For web purchases write to team@whizzu.com; for app purchases ask Apple or Google.
5.7 Price changes. We will tell you about a price increase at least 30 days before it applies to you, and, where the store requires it, ask for your agreement. You can cancel before the new price applies.
5.8 Refund requests to Apple. If you ask Apple for a refund, Apple may ask us for information about your use of Whizzu (for example how much you used it after buying) to decide the request. We share only that information, and only for that purpose.
Acceptable use
Do not:
- break the law or anyone's rights using Whizzu;
- hack, overload, scrape or reverse engineer Whizzu, or use bots, except where the law allows;
- cheat in games or manipulate leaderboards;
- create fake accounts or abuse trials, referrals or promotions;
- copy, resell or republish Whizzu content without written permission.
We may suspend or close accounts that break these Terms, and will tell you why unless the law or safety prevents it.
Content and ownership
Lessons, games, text, images, design, software and the Whizzu name and logo belong to us or our licensors. We give you a personal, non transferable, revocable licence to use Whizzu for your own learning, not for commercial use. If you send us feedback, we may use it freely.
Educational content and AI
Whizzu is for general learning. It is not professional advice (medical, legal, financial or other). Some content or recommendations may be produced with the help of AI and checked by us, but mistakes are possible; tell us if you find one. Some lessons on art and history show classical artworks with nudity or historical violence in an educational context.
Availability and changes
We may add, change or remove features, and pre-launch or beta features may be unfinished. If we close a paid feature or the service, we will give reasonable notice and, for web purchases, refund unused prepaid time.
App stores
If you got Whizzu from the Apple App Store, these Terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to support the app and is not responsible for claims about it (including product liability, legal compliance or intellectual property claims); if the app fails to meet any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple for a refund of the purchase price, and Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple and its subsidiaries are third party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them. You confirm you are not in a country under a US embargo and not on a US list of prohibited parties. Google Play's terms also apply to downloads from Google Play.
Liability
Whizzu is provided "as is". To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits or lost data, and our total liability is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or USD 100.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or any liability that cannot be limited by law. If you are a consumer in the EU, EEA or UK, you keep all your statutory rights, including for digital content that is not as described.
Law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the law of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in the courts there. Please write to team@whizzu.com first; most problems can be solved quickly. EU consumers can also use their national consumer dispute resolution bodies.
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. For important changes we will tell you by email or in the app at least 14 days before they apply. If you do not agree, you can stop using Whizzu and cancel any subscription before the change applies.
