Terms

1. Using TypeCart

You can use TypeCart without an account. Some features — syncing between devices, and later leaderboards and races — need one. Typing on TypeCart needs a physical keyboard.

You may use TypeCart for your own practice, and teachers may use it with their classes. Don’t copy the site, scrape it in bulk, or put load on it that gets in the way of other people.

2. Accounts

• You must be 13 or older to make an account.
• Give a real email address that you can read; it is how you get back into your account.
• Keep your sign-in details to yourself. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
• Choose a display name that isn’t offensive, doesn’t pretend to be someone else, and doesn’t advertise anything.

You can delete your account at any time under Account.

3. Fair play

Results are only worth something if they are real. Don’t:

• use bots, scripts, macros, auto-typers or other tools that type for you
• paste text, change the page, or send made-up results to our servers
• attack, probe or overload TypeCart, or get around its limits
• harass other people or use TypeCart for anything illegal

We replay results sent to our servers and may refuse, hide or remove any result that looks automated or impossible. We may suspend or delete an account that breaks these rules, usually after a warning, and without one for serious or repeated abuse. If you think we got it wrong, write to us.

4. Your content and ours

Custom texts you type in stay in your browser; we never see them. Make sure you have the right to use any text you add. Feedback you send us may be used to improve TypeCart, without any obligation to you.

TypeCart’s design, code, lessons and texts belong to us or to their authors. Some content, such as word lists, fonts and the 3D hands, is used under open licences, listed on the credits page.

5. Third-party content

Word lists, quotes, fonts and the 3D hands were made by others and are used under open licences. Who made them, under which licence and what we changed: Credits.

6. Free and paid features

Most of TypeCart is free. Some features need Pro, a paid plan, and a feature that is free today may become part of a paid plan in the future. When you buy Pro, the Pro section below applies.

7. Pro: subscription and refunds

What you get. Pro adds what the pricing page lists to your account. What Pro includes may change over time, but we won’t take away a main Pro feature during a period you have already paid for.

Prices. The prices are on the pricing page, in US dollars. The price you pay, with any sales tax or VAT for where you live, is shown at checkout before you pay.

Free trial. Your first Pro plan starts with 7 days free, once per account. You give a card at checkout and it is charged on day 7 unless you cancel before. The date of the first charge is shown before you start, and you get a reminder by email before the trial ends. Cancel during the trial and you pay nothing.

Who sells it. Payments are handled by Stripe, which acts as the seller (the “merchant of record”) for your purchase: your receipt and any tax invoice come from Stripe, and Stripe’s own terms apply to the payment. We provide Pro.

Renewal. Your plan renews automatically at the end of each month or year, at the price then in effect, until you cancel. If we raise the price, we tell you at least 30 days before your next renewal, and you can cancel before it applies.

Cancelling. Cancel at any time from Account, in a few clicks. Pro stays on until the end of the period you have paid for, then your account goes back to Free. Your progress and history stay.

Refunds.

• Within 14 days of your first charge (the one after your free trial), if you change your mind, write to support@typecart.app and we refund you in full.
• After that, payments are not refunded, except where the law requires it or when Pro didn’t work because of a fault on our side.

Failed payments. If a renewal payment fails, we email you and Stripe tries again for a few days. If it still fails, your account goes back to Free.

Closed accounts. If we close an account for serious abuse (see Fair play), its subscription ends.

8. Changes and availability

TypeCart is still growing: we add, change and sometimes remove features. We try to keep it running at all times but can’t promise that it will never be down or lose data. Data kept only in your browser can be lost if the browser clears it — download a copy under Settings → Your data if it matters to you.

We may stop offering TypeCart. If we do, we will give account holders reasonable notice and a chance to download their data.

9. No warranty

TypeCart is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. We don’t promise that it will make you a faster typist or that it is free of errors.

10. Limits on our liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost data or lost profits, and our total liability to you is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and 50 US dollars. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer that the law says can’t be limited.

11. Law and disputes

If you live in the EU, the UK or another country whose consumer laws protect you, you keep that protection and may bring a claim where you live. Before going to court, please write to us — most problems can be solved by email.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We change the date at the top, and for important changes we tell you on the What’s new page and, if you have an account, by email before they take effect. If you keep using TypeCart after that, the new terms apply; if you don’t agree, you can delete your account.
