Terms of Sale

Effective 12 August 2026 · Last updated 20 August 2026

1. Who you are agreeing with

Caminantes: Spanish for the Camino, the paid Spanish courses served at spanish.caminantes.co and, once it moves, at caminantes.co/spanish/ (the "service"), is operated by AFK Ventures, a sole proprietorship (enkeltmandsvirksomhed) registered in Denmark, CVR 46057791, owned by August Frederik Kramer.

Address: Marskensgade 2, 3. tv., 2100 København Ø, Denmark.
Contact:contact.afkventures@gmail.com.

Using the service means accepting these terms and thePrivacy Policy. If you do not accept them, do not use it.

These terms are version 2026-08-20. The version is stated so that "which terms did I agree to" has an answer, rather than being whatever this page happened to say on the day you looked.

The Caminantes mobile application and the free guides on this website are a separate product. These terms do not cover them; see the separateTerms of Service.

2. What the service is

A tool for learning Spanish vocabulary: word lists you build yourself, flashcard practice, statistics, goals, and curated courses of vocabulary organised around situations a walker actually meets.

One chapter of one course is open to everybody, with no account, to show what the thing is before anyone is asked for anything.

3. Accounts

The rules below apply to every account, whenever it was made.

• You must be at least 13 years old.
• Give a real email address you control. It is how a lost password gets reset, and if it is not yours, an account cannot be recovered.
• You may sign in with an email address and a password, or with a Google account. Either way the account is the same account and these terms apply to it identically.
• An account is for one person. Keep whatever gets you into it to yourself; anything done through your account is treated as done by you.
• Tell us promptly at the address above if you think somebody else has got into your account.

You may close your account at any time. ThePrivacy Policy sets out how, and exactly what that removes.

4. What this is for, and what it is not for

What this is, positively stated: a self-study tool for learning vocabulary before you travel. It is not a translator, not an interpreting service, and not something to hold up in front of somebody during a conversation that matters. It has no live translation feature and is not built to acquire one.

This applies with particular force to the course about pharmacies and symptoms. It exists to make an unfamiliar conversation less frightening by teaching you the words in advance, not to conduct that conversation for you.

The same goes for definitions and example sentences fetched from Wiktionary and Tatoeba. They are community-contributed, we do not control them, and we do not warrant them.

It follows that the vocabulary will change. Finding a mistake is a reason to correct it, not to defend it. Words, translations, notes and example sentences may be revised, replaced or removed.

Corrections apply to everyone, so a word you have already practised may read differently the next time you see it, and occasionally a word may go altogether. Your own progress is preserved across a correction wherever it can be. Your own words, the ones you added yourself, are never touched by this: they are yours and we do not edit them.

5. What you make, and what we make

Your content stays yours. The words, translations, notes and tags you add belong to you, and nothing here transfers any ownership of them to us.

To actually run the service we need your permission to handle them, so you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, back up, reformat, transmit and display that content, solely in order to operate and provide the service to you. The narrow part is the purpose, not the verbs: sending your words to your phone, writing them into a nightly backup, and turning them into a JSON file when you press Export are all copying and reformatting, and a licence that only said "store and display" would not honestly cover them.

The licence goes no further than that purpose, and it ends when your content does. We do not publish your content, show it to other users, sell it, or use it to train anything, and deleting your account ends the licence along with the data.

The courses are ours. The selection, ordering, glosses, notes and example sentences in the curated courses are the work that this product consists of, and they are the property of AFK Ventures. Your account gets a personal, non-transferable licence to use the courses it holds, for your own learning.

If you send us a correction, thank you, and we will use it. Telling us a gloss is wrong is the single most useful thing anyone can do for this product, and we would rather ask for it plainly than leave the position ambiguous. If you send a correction, a better sentence or a suggestion, you allow us to use it in the courses without payment, credit or obligation, and you confirm it is yours to give. You keep every other right in it. If you would rather be credited, say so and we will.

The courses and the borrowed material are separate things, deliberately. Every gloss and every example sentence in a curated course is written by hand for that course. None of it is copied or adapted from Wiktionary, from Tatoeba, or from any other licensed corpus, which is what makes it ours to license to you.

The material that does come from elsewhere is the dictionary lookup and the example sentences shown in Read, which are fetched live. Definitions from Wiktionary are licensed CC BY-SA 4.0 and sentences from Tatoeba CC BY 2.0 FR. The glossary we build from Wiktionary is released under CC BY-SA 4.0 in turn, as that licence requires. Those licences travel with that material, they are credited in the app, and they do not attach to the courses.

6. Money

There is a free tier and it stays free. One chapter of one course, Camino basics, is open with no account at all. Making an account opens a second chapter of that same course. Nothing in this section applies unless you choose to buy something.

6.1 What is for sale

You must be 18 or over to buy anything, or have a parent or guardian's permission. An account can be held from 13, and the free tier is open to any account, but a purchase is a contract and a person under 18 cannot enter one on their own.

Three things, and they are different in kind:

• A single course, once. You keep it. There is no renewal and nothing further to pay.
• Any three courses, once, chosen by you at checkout. You keep them, on the same terms as a single course.
• A subscription, monthly, which gives access to every course while it is running, together with the word list, the Read tool and the word map. A subscription isaccess, not ownership: see 6.5.

Prices are shown on the plans screen at the shop, and on thepricing page, before you buy, in euro, and include VAT where it applies. The price you are shown at checkout is the price you pay. We may change prices for future purchases; a change never alters what you have already bought, and for a subscription we will tell you before a changed price is charged.

6.2 Who you are buying from

Payments are handled by Paddle.com Market Ltd, who are the merchant of record. That means the sale itself is a contract between you and Paddle: they take the payment, they issue the receipt and the VAT invoice, and their terms apply to the transaction. We never see or hold your card details, and no card details are stored anywhere in this system.

These terms still govern your use of the service and what you get for the money. Where this document and Paddle's differ about the purchase itself, theirs governs the purchase.

6.3 Your right to withdraw, and how it is lost

As a consumer in the EU you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a purchase of digital content, without giving a reason.

You lose that right if you ask for immediate access.What you buy is delivered to your account the moment the payment completes, so before a payment can even be started we ask you, on a screen of our own, to agree to two things together: that delivery begins straight away, and that you therefore lose the right to withdraw once it has begun.

It is a real gate, not a formality. The box is not ticked for you, the button does nothing until you tick it, and the server refuses to open a payment at all without it. Your answer is recorded against the transaction along with the version of these terms you were shown at the time, so which text you agreed to has an answer rather than an assumption.

If you have not given that consent, or delivery has not begun, the 14 days run as normal and you can withdraw by writing tocontact.afkventures@gmail.com or by contacting Paddle.

None of this touches 6.4 below, which is broader than the withdrawal right and applies whether or not you gave that consent.

6.4 Refunds beyond the withdrawal right

Separately from anything above, write to us if a purchase was a mistake or the thing is not what you expected. This is a small operation and a refund costs less than an unhappy customer. Refunds are issued by Paddle.

Your statutory rights are untouched by any of this. If the content is faulty or not as described, the remedies you have by law apply whatever this section says.

6.5 Subscriptions, renewal and cancelling

A subscription renews automatically until you cancel: monthly plans each month, at the price shown when you subscribed. You may cancel at any time, without giving a reason, and cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for. There is no cancellation fee and no minimum term.

Cancel through the link on your Paddle receipt, or write tocontact.afkventures@gmail.com and we will do it.

What happens when it ends. Access to the courses the subscription was covering stops, and so does access to the word list, the Read tool and the word map. Two things do not stop:

• Courses you bought outright stay yours. A purchase and a subscription are recorded separately, on purpose, so a lapse cannot take away something that was paid for permanently.
• Nothing is deleted. Your progress and the words you added are kept. If you subscribe again you carry on where you left off rather than starting over. Deletion happens only if you delete the account, or under the dormancy rule in section 9.

6.6 If a course is withdrawn

If we withdraw a course you have bought outright, you keep your access to it for as long as the service runs. If the service itself is discontinued, section 8 applies: reasonable notice, an export, and a refund of anything paid for and not delivered.

7. What you may not do

The service is small and runs on one server. Please do not:

• Extract, scrape, copy or republish the course vocabulary, whether by hand or by machine. The courses are the product; taking them is taking the product.
• Send automated or bulk traffic, or otherwise try to get around the request limits.
• Try to reach content your account does not hold, or another user's data, by any means.
• Probe, attack or interfere with the service or the systems it runs on. Reporting a flaw you find in good faith is welcome and is not this.
• Resell, sublicense or redistribute access to the service or its courses.
• Use the service unlawfully, or to store unlawful material.

One more, and it is for your benefit as much as ours. Your words carry free-text notes and tags, and they are yours to fill in as you like. Please keep out of them:

• Other people's personal information. A phrase you overheard is fine. Somebody's name, address, phone number or health is not yours to store on our server.
• Anything genuinely sensitive about yourself that you would not want held by a small operation: medical details, religious or political beliefs, anything of that kind. The pharmacy course teaches you to say "my knee hurts"; it is not a place to record that it does.
• Passwords or card numbers. This is a vocabulary app.

Nothing checks this, and nothing could: the fields are free text and we do not read them. It is here because a note field on a language app is not built to hold that sort of thing and should not be asked to.

8. Availability

This is run by one person as a small operation. It is offered as it is and as it happens to be available. There is no uptime guarantee, no support hours, and no promise that a feature you like will still be here next year.

Features may change or be withdrawn, and the service may be discontinued. If it is discontinued, we will give reasonable notice and you will have the opportunity to export your data first. If you have paid for something that has not been delivered by then, you will be refunded for the undelivered part.

None of that reduces what a subscriber has already paid for. The paragraph above is about a free service being run by one person; it is not a licence to take away something you are currently paying for. If a feature named in your plan is withdrawn while your subscription is running, you may cancel and we will refund the unused part of the period. Section 6.6 says the same for a course bought outright.

Back-ups exist and are tested, but keep your own copy of anything you would be upset to lose. The Export button in the word list gives you a file, and it takes a second.

Things outside anyone's control. This runs on other people's computers. If a hosting provider, a network or a certificate authority fails, or something larger does, we are not liable for the interruption while it lasts, and neither of us is in breach for not performing during it. We will get it back as soon as we reasonably can. This does not touch your consumer rights or anything in section 10.

Automated protection. The service counts requests and will slow down or refuse traffic that looks like an attack, a scrape or a runaway script, without anyone looking at it first. That can occasionally catch somebody legitimate. If it catches you, write to us and we will sort it out.

9. Ending it

You can stop using the service and delete your account at any time, for any reason, without telling us why.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks section 7, or that we are obliged to close by law. Where it is reasonable to do so we will warn you first and give you a chance to put it right, and except where the breach makes it impossible, we will let you export your data.

Accounts nobody comes back to. If an account is not signed into for 24 months, we may delete it and everything in it. We will email the address on the account first, at least 30 days beforehand, and signing in during that time is enough to keep it: there is nothing to click and nothing to pay.

This never applies to an account that has bought a course.Section 6.1 says a course bought outright is yours to keep, and deleting the account it lives in would take it back. So the dormancy rule above is for accounts that have never paid for anything. If you bought a course and came back after three years, it is still there.

This is not housekeeping for its own sake. Keeping somebody's email address and study history indefinitely, years after they stopped walking and stopped caring, is holding personal data longer than there is any reason to. ThePrivacy Policy says we keep account data until the account is deleted, and this is the outer edge of that.

10. Liability

Your rights as a consumer come first. If you are a consumer, Danish and EU law gives you rights that a document like this one cannot sign away, and nothing below is intended to. Where anything here conflicts with those rights, those rights win and the conflicting part simply does not apply.

Subject to that, and to the extent the law allows: the service is provided as it is, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, and we are not liable for anything arising from your reliance on the vocabulary beyond the study use described in section 4.

We are never able to limit liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for gross negligence, and we do not try to.

On data: back-ups exist and are tested, but you can export everything at any time from the word list, and keeping your own copy of anything you would be sorry to lose is the sensible course with any service run by one person.

11. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by Danish law.

If you are a consumer, that choice cannot take anything away from you. You keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country you live in, you can bring proceedings in the courts of that country, and we can only bring proceedings against you there. Danish law and the Danish courts apply in full only where you are not a consumer.

Before any of that, please write to us. Nearly everything is a misunderstanding that an email fixes, and we would much rather fix it.

Danish consumers can take a complaint to the Danish consumer complaints system, currently run through Center for Klageløsning andForbrugerklagenævnet(forbrug.dk). Consumers elsewhere in the EU can use the equivalent body in their own country.

12. If part of this is unenforceable

If any part of these terms turns out to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest continues to apply. The invalid part is treated as removed, or narrowed to whatever the law does allow, rather than taking the whole agreement down with it.

If we do not enforce something straight away, that is not us giving up the right to enforce it later.

13. If the service changes hands

This is run by one person. If the service, or the business behind it, is ever sold or transferred, these terms and your account can transfer with it, and the buyer takes on the same obligations we have here. Your data would move as part of that, which thePrivacy Policy also says.

You would be told before it happened, and if you would rather not come along you can export your data and close your account. You cannot transfer your own account to somebody else.

14. Changes

These terms may change. The date at the top moves when they do, and material changes will be announced in the app before they take effect. Continuing to use the service after that means accepting the new version; if you would rather not, close your account and take your data with you.

If you have a subscription running, a material change does not reach you mid-period. You have paid for that period under the terms as they stood when you paid, so a change takes effect for you at your next renewal. If you do not want the new version, cancel before then and nothing changes for you at all; and if a change does somehow affect a period you have already paid for, write to us and we will refund the unused part.
