Terms of Service

Last updated: 29 August 2026

The service

Paralelo shows public-domain and openly licensed texts beside a machine translation, aligned phrase by phrase, to help you learn a language by reading.

Translations are machine-made

Every translation and every alignment on this site is produced by a model. They are good enough to read alongside an original and learn from; they are not authoritative, and they should not be relied on for anything that matters legally, medically or commercially.

Rights in the texts

Source texts are public domain or openly licensed. Availability can differ by country, because copyright terms do, and a text may therefore be readable in one territory and not another.

Payments

Paid plans are sold through Lemon Squeezy, which acts as the merchant of record. That means your contract for the purchase is with Lemon Squeezy, they handle payment and any sales tax or VAT, and their name is what appears on your statement and on your invoice. Paralelo never sees or stores your card details.

Cancelling and refunds

You can cancel a subscription at any time from your account; it stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for, and is not renewed. If you are a consumer in the EU or the UK you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a purchase of digital content. Because a subscription gives you the paid features immediately, you are asked to agree at checkout that access begins at once, which ends that withdrawal right as soon as you start using it. Beyond that, write to hello@paralelo.app: if something did not work as described, you will be refunded.

Acceptable use

Read as much as you like. Do not scrape the site in bulk, resell the translations, or attempt to circumvent the limits attached to your plan.
