Terms and Conditions of Access or Use

Last updated: 23rd July 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using the SpeakX application, you agree to comply with these Terms and Conditions. Please read them carefully, as they govern your use of our services.

2. Protecting Our Company

These Terms and Conditions protect SpeakX from legal claims and liabilities. By using the app, you agree to indemnify and hold SpeakX harmless from any losses, damages, or legal actions arising from your use of the app.

3. Subscription, Payments, & Cancellation

Mode of Payment & AutoPay Mandates

Payments for the products available on the Site may be made in the following ways:

  • Payment Options: Credit card, Debit Card, and Net Banking payment options are instant and recommended to ensure faster payment processing.
  • UPI Recurring Subscription: By subscribing to SpeakX, you agree to a monthly, quarterly, or yearly fee that will be automatically charged to your linked UPI account. When you start a trial or subscribe to SpeakX, you agree to a recurring fee for your chosen plan (monthly, quarterly, or yearly). This fee is deducted automatically (autopay) from your linked UPI account at the start of each billing cycle. You give this permission (a UPI AutoPay mandate) when you start your trial or subscription, and SpeakX cannot deduct any amount without your permission.
  • Third-Party/Bank Charges: Any additional charges incurred by your bank or during transactions, such as transaction or currency conversion fees, will be borne solely by you.
  • Account Balance: We recommend keeping a sufficient balance in your account to ensure uninterrupted access to the SpeakX platform.

Cancelling Your Subscription

You can cancel your subscription at any time — from the Membership page in the SpeakX app, or from your UPI app. When you cancel:

  • Your autopay is stopped, so you will not be charged again.
  • You keep your Premium access until the end of your current billing cycle.
  • Cancelling on its own is not a refund — refunds follow the rules outlined in Section 4 below.

4. Refund Policy

You can get a refund of your current subscription payment if, in your current billing cycle, you have completed 5 or fewer exercises. Exercises done during a trial are not counted.

If you have completed more than 5 exercises in your current billing cycle, the payment is not eligible for a refund.

Only your current billing cycle's payment can be refunded. Payments from earlier billing cycles are not eligible.

You can request a refund even if you have already cancelled your subscription, as long as you meet the condition above.

Exercises Done in Current Billing CycleRefund Eligibility Status
5 or fewer (including if you did not use the app)ELIGIBLE
More than 5 exercisesNOT ELIGIBLE
Trial amount (at any time)NOT ELIGIBLE

Note: You can see how many exercises you have completed in your current billing cycle on the home page of the SpeakX app.

4.1 Understanding Your Billing Cycle

Your billing cycle is the period covered by your current subscription payment. It begins on the day your payment is charged and runs for the length of your plan:

  • Monthly plan — about one month
  • Quarterly plan — about three months
  • Yearly plan — about twelve months

Your exercise count is measured from the start of your current billing cycle (the day of your payment). Exercises you completed during a trial are never counted. Only your current billing cycle's payment can be refunded — payments from earlier billing cycles cannot.

4.2 Scenario Examples

Note: The amounts below are only examples to show how the policy works.

  • Example 1 — Trial exercises are not counted: During free trial: 5 exercises completed. Subscription charged: ₹299 (new billing cycle). Current billing cycle: 5 exercises completed.
    • Result: ELIGIBLE — Full ₹299 refund. Only 5 exercises in current cycle count (trial exercises excluded).
  • Example 2 — Low usage: Subscription charged: ₹299. Current billing cycle: 3 exercises completed.
    • Result: ELIGIBLE — 5 or fewer exercises completed.
  • Example 3 — Higher usage: Subscription charged: ₹299. Current billing cycle: 8 exercises completed.
    • Result: NOT ELIGIBLE — More than 5 exercises completed.
  • Example 4 — Exactly 5 exercises: Subscription charged: ₹299. Current billing cycle: Exactly 5 exercises completed.
    • Result: ELIGIBLE — 5 or fewer qualifies (6 or more does not).
  • Example 5 — High trial usage does not affect eligibility: During free trial: 10 exercises completed. Subscription charged: ₹299. Current billing cycle: 2 exercises completed.
    • Result: ELIGIBLE — Only current cycle (2 exercises) counts.
  • Example 6 — Payment from an earlier billing cycle: User requests refund for a payment from a previous billing cycle (earlier month).
    • Result: NOT ELIGIBLE — Only current billing cycle's payment can be refunded.
  • Example 7 — Low trial use does not help high current usage: During free trial: 0 or 1 exercise. After trial, current billing cycle: 6 exercises completed.
    • Result: NOT ELIGIBLE — Current cycle has 6 exercises (more than 5).

4.3 Non-Refundable Items & Conditions

  • Trial amount: The trial amount is never refundable. Only a paid subscription payment can be refunded.
  • High Usage: Payments where more than 5 exercises have been completed in the current billing cycle.
  • Past Billing Cycles: Payments from earlier billing cycles. Only your current billing cycle's payment can be refunded. Payments from previous billing cycles (earlier months) are not eligible.
  • Duplicate Refunds: A payment that has already been refunded. A payment can be refunded only once.

4.4 Refund Processing & Timelines

  • Approved refunds are sent back to the same account or card you used to pay.
  • It can take up to 7 business days for the money to reach your account after the refund is approved. Actual times may vary depending on your bank.
