Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you ("you" or "User") and Talevonia (the "App", "we", "us", or "our") governing your access to and use of the App and any related features or services. By downloading, installing, registering, accessing, or using the App, you confirm you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

If you are below the legal age to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction, you may only use the App with the consent of a parent or legal guardian, who is deemed the User for purposes of these Terms.
