Terms of Use

Last updated: January 2025

The short version

Use our free learning content as much as you want. Be nice. Don't redistribute our content as your own. Premium features require payment but the learning materials stay free.

What is Survival in Germany?

Survival in Germany is a German language learning tool that teaches everyday German through comic scenes. We provide visual stories with audio, vocabulary, grammar notes, and cultural insights to help you navigate life in Germany.

Free learning content

All educational content — comic scenes, dialogues, vocabulary cards, audio clips, grammar explanations, and culture notes — is free to access. No registration required. No trial period. Just open and learn.

You may use this content for personal learning purposes. You may share links to our content. You may not copy, redistribute, or sell our content as your own.

Premium features (coming soon)

We're building optional premium features for learners who want to track their progress:

  • Spaced repetition flashcards
  • Progress tracking across devices
  • Personal vocabulary lists
  • Review scheduling

These features will require a paid account. Pricing and payment details will be announced when these features launch.

Refunds

Since all learning content is free, there's nothing to refund for casual users. For premium feature purchases, we'll offer a reasonable refund policy (details to be announced with the premium launch). We want you to be happy with your purchase.

Educational disclaimer

Our content is designed for language learning purposes. While we strive for accuracy:

  • Language is living and regional variations exist
  • What's appropriate depends on context and relationships
  • Our scenarios are simplified for learning — real life is messier
  • We're not responsible for any miscommunications that may occur

Use common sense and adapt what you learn to your specific situation. When in doubt, err on the side of formality (use “Sie”).

Be nice

If you interact with our community (suggestions, feedback, comments), please be respectful. We're all here to learn. We reserve the right to remove inappropriate content and block users who violate basic standards of decency.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as our service evolves. Significant changes will be communicated through the app or website. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
