Anton is provided by Furst Solutions (Pty) Ltd, a company registered in South Africa (registration number 2021/557066/07), of Nr 38 The River Hamlet, Gie Road, Milnerton, Western Cape, 7441, South Africa ("Anton", "we", "us"). These Terms govern your use of the Anton language-learning application at anton.spartacusv4.tech (the "Service"). By creating an account you agree to them. Our full contact details are on the Contact page.
Anton helps you build and practise your own set of sentence "cards" in a language you're learning — translation, AI-generated pronunciation audio, phonetic transcription where relevant, and games that draw on your own collection. Some languages (currently isiXhosa and isiZulu) have no reliable AI voice available anywhere, so their audio is recorded by you rather than generated — the app tells you this at the point it applies, not just here.
You need an account to use Anton. You're responsible for keeping your password secret and for anything that happens under your account. Tell us immediately if you think someone else has access to it. One account per person — accounts aren't transferable.
You must be at least 16 to use Anton. If you're under 18, your account stays inactive until a parent or legal guardian confirms their consent — Anton walks you through this at sign-up. See the Privacy Policy for how that works and how a guardian can withdraw consent.
New accounts get 14 days of full access with no card required. After that, without a subscription, your account moves to a read-only state: every card you've made stays visible and playable, but creating new cards and anything AI-generated (translation, audio, word lookups) is switched off until you subscribe.
Paid plans are billed in South African Rand (ZAR) through PayFast, our payment processor. Card payments recur automatically at the interval shown when you subscribe (monthly or annual) until you cancel. We don't see or store your full card details — PayFast handles that as a PCI DSS Level 1 provider.
A Founding Member price, where offered, is locked at the rate shown for as long as your subscription stays continuously active, for the first 100 subscribers who take it. It's withdrawn once that number is reached, or from a date we announce, whichever comes first.
We'll give you reasonable notice by email before any price change takes effect for existing subscribers.
Anton is a digital service. There is nothing to ship: access to a paid plan is enabled on your account as soon as PayFast confirms your payment, usually within a few minutes. Furst Solutions (Pty) Ltd is not currently registered for VAT, so no VAT is added to the prices shown.
Cancel any time from Settings. Cancelling stops future renewals — you keep full access until the end of the period you've already paid for, then your account moves to the same read-only state as an expired trial. See our Refund Policy for how refunds work; cancelling on its own does not refund the current period.
You agree not to:
We may suspend or close an account that does any of this, or that we reasonably believe is being used to abuse the underlying AI services.
The sentences, translations, custom notes, photos and recordings you create belong to you. We store them to provide the Service and back them up so you don't lose your work — see our Privacy Policy for detail. You grant us the limited right to process that content (for example, sending it to our AI providers to generate a translation or a pronunciation) solely to operate the Service for you.
Translations, transliterations and pronunciation audio are generated by third-party AI models. They're a study aid, not a certified translation service — they can be wrong, especially for idiom, dialect, or context the model doesn't have. Use your own judgement, particularly for anything where getting it wrong matters.
Anton relies on other companies to work: an AI provider for translation, transliteration and speech; PayFast for payment processing; and an email provider for account and billing messages. Each only receives what it needs to do its job. See our Privacy Policy for the full list.
The Service is provided "as is." We work to keep it available and correct but don't guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free. To the extent the law allows, our liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose. Nothing here limits liability we can't lawfully limit.
Nothing in these Terms takes away or reduces any right you have under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 or the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 that cannot lawfully be excluded. Where anything here conflicts with those rights, those rights apply.
You can close your account at any time by emailing us (see the Contact page), and you can ask us to delete the personal information we hold about you — see the Privacy Policy. We may suspend or terminate an account for breach of these Terms, non-payment, or abuse of the Service, with notice where reasonably possible.
These Terms are governed by the law of South Africa. Disputes are subject to the jurisdiction of the South African courts.
We may update these Terms as the Service changes. Material changes will be announced by email or in-app notice before they take effect.
