Terms & conditions

These terms apply to your use of Learn Tamil (https://learntamil.msdevbuild.com/), a free educational website made by Suthahar Jegatheesan under the MSDEVBUILD name. By using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. Free educational use

Learn Tamil is free for personal, family, school and classroom use. You may show it to students, link to it and share it. You must not use it for anything unlawful or try to disrupt or misuse it.

2. Content and licence

The website's source code and content are published on GitHub under the MIT License, which allows reuse with attribution. Emoji pictures are drawn by your device's emoji font. Fonts are provided by Google Fonts under their own open licences. Names of other products and services belong to their owners.

3. Disclaimer: accuracy and pronunciation

All Tamil text on the site has been prepared and checked carefully. However:

• Letter sounds may be produced by your device's text-to-speech voice, which can mispronounce some single letters. Recorded or generated audio is used where it is available.
• Romanised sounds and English hints are simple guides for beginners, not exact phonetic descriptions.
• The site supports learning but is not a replacement for a qualified Tamil teacher.

If you hear any mistake in the voice, or find a wrong letter, word or bug, please report it as an issue on GitHub Issues so it can be corrected.

4. Voluntary support

Learn Tamil is free and will stay free. Supporting it through Buy Me a Coffee is completely voluntary, does not unlock any extra features, and is handled by Buy Me a Coffee under its own terms. Payments should be made by a parent or adult.

5. Certificates

Level certificates are made in your browser when a test is passed. They are practice certificates to encourage children, not an official or accredited qualification, and are not verified by any school or examination board.

6. Children

The site is designed for children. Parents, guardians and teachers are responsible for supervising how children use the internet, including this site. Learn Tamil collects no personal information, only anonymous usage statistics; see the Privacy & data policy.

7. Links to other websites

The site may link to other websites (for example the MSDEVBUILD blog or GitHub). We are not responsible for their content or practices.

8. No warranty

The site is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the author is not liable for any loss or damage arising from the use of, or inability to use, this free website.

10. Changes

These terms may be updated from time to time. The current version is always on this page with its “Updated” date. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
