Terms of Use

1. Operator and contact

This website and the BetterTranslator application are operated by SZEINER s.r.o., a limited liability company established in the Czech Republic.

Registered seat and postal address: Zbýšov 90, 683 52 Zbýšov, Czech Republic.

Company registration number (IČO): 05822882. Entered in the commercial register kept by the Regional Court in Brno (Krajský soud v Brně), section C, insert 106323.

Contact address for enquiries and complaints: [email protected]

2. Scope and subject matter

These terms cover your use of this website, the download of the BetterTranslator application, and the licence under which the application may be used.

BetterTranslator is a Windows desktop application. It runs translation models on your own machine. It is not a browser translator and not a cloud service. Text you translate is not sent to the operator through this website, and this website performs no translation.

This website has no user accounts, no sign-in, no forms and no payment. The download controls lead to a release published elsewhere, so nothing is bought, registered or supplied here.

3. AI-generated output

BetterTranslator translates by running machine-learning models on your own machine. Every translation it produces, whether a piece of text, a translated file or a value in a resource file, is generated by those models and is not written by a person.

Generated text can be wrong. A translation may carry an error of meaning, an invented word form, a term used inconsistently, or a segment left in the source language. The application shows a notice to the same effect where you compose a translation.

Read the output before you rely on it. Where a translation will be binding, or will be used in a legal, medical, financial or safety-critical context, have it reviewed by a person competent in both languages before it is used.

This section describes how the application works. It states no exclusion of liability and no acceptance of a defect. Your statutory rights as a consumer, including the rights to conformity of digital content and to the updates needed to keep it in conformity, apply in full whatever this section says.

4. Who may use the site and the application

Anyone may read this website. Both consumers and business users are addressed. Where a rule applies only to consumers, it says so.

These terms set no minimum age. This website creates no account, concludes no contract and takes no payment, so there is nothing here for an age condition to attach to. The site is not directed at children and runs no age check.

5. Licence to use the application

The application is published under the MIT License, Copyright (c) 2026 SZEINER s.r.o. It permits use, copying, modification, merging, publication, distribution, sublicensing and the sale of copies, on one condition: the copyright notice and the permission notice go into every copy or substantial portion of the software. The licence text published with the application is the document that makes that grant.

That licence supplies the application as is, without warranty of any kind, express or implied. These terms add no warranty in its place. Section 10 states what liability is not excluded, and section 11 states the consumer rights that apply whatever this document says.

The licence covers the application's own code. Components supplied by other people carry their own terms, and the Hunspell notice one of them requires is given on the licence page.

6. Third-party components

This website loads components supplied by other parties. They carry their own licence terms, which apply to them instead of these terms, and the licence is named beside each component below. The licence text itself is published by the project that supplies the component. The components the application itself ships with are listed on the licence page, together with the notice one of them requires.

• d3-array 3.2.4, Copyright 2010 to 2023 Mike Bostock, under the ISC licence
• d3-geo 3.1.1, Copyright 2010 to 2024 Mike Bostock and 2008 to 2012 Charles Karney, under the ISC licence, with the GeographicLib parts under MIT
• topojson 3.0.2, Copyright 2012 to 2016 Michael Bostock, under the BSD 3-Clause licence
• countries-110m.json from world-atlas 2.0.2, under the ISC licence, built from Natural Earth Admin 0 country boundaries at 1:110 million
• The typefaces Archivo, IBM Plex Mono and Source Serif 4, each under the SIL Open Font License 1.1

7. Acceptable use

Use this website lawfully. Do not disrupt it, do not try to gain unauthorised access to it, and do not copy it beyond what the applicable licences allow.

This website does not host, store or transmit content that you submit, so it carries no content moderation rules and no complaint procedure about user content.

8. Downloads and updates

The application is supplied as a single Windows executable, published as a release asset in its public repository. The download controls on this website lead to that release: this website does not host the file and counts no download.

Updates are published in the same place, as new releases in that repository, and you install one by taking the new file. They are published when a new version is ready. These terms promise no release schedule, no update frequency and no fixed support period. The application performs no update check and installs nothing by itself. For consumers the law sets a floor for conformity and for the updates needed to keep it, and nothing in this section reduces that floor.

9. Availability

This website is provided as published. The operator does not promise that it is available without interruption or free of error.

This section does not reduce any right a consumer holds under Czech or European Union law, including rights to conformity of digital content and digital services. No term here applies to a defect or a change before that defect or change is notified to you.

10. Liability

The operator is liable under the law that applies. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for:

• harm to life or health,
• damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence,
• anything that cannot be excluded or limited under the law that applies.

These terms set no cap on liability, toward consumers or toward business users. Liability follows the law that applies. The application is supplied free of charge under the MIT License, and section 5 says where to read the warranty position that licence states for the software itself.

11. Consumer rights

If you are a consumer, the rights you hold under Czech and European Union law apply whatever these terms say. These terms do not reduce them and they cannot be waived.

No paid contract is concluded through this website at this time. The application is presented as free, and there is no payment path, no subscription and no account. The fourteen day right of withdrawal attaches to a distance contract concluded for payment, so it has nothing to attach to yet.

If a paid path is added later, this section has to be rewritten before that path goes live. It then has to cover the right of withdrawal, the model withdrawal form and, for digital content supplied at once, the separate consent and acknowledgement step that a waiver of the withdrawal right requires.

12. Changes to these terms

The operator may change these terms only for a stated reason, such as a change in the law, a change in how the application is supplied, or the correction of an error.

A change is published on this page before it takes effect, together with a new version number and a new effective date. Continuing to use this website is not by itself acceptance of a change.

If you do not accept a change, stop using this website and the application. Where a paid or continuing supply exists, an adverse change also carries a right to end that supply.

A change takes effect no earlier than thirty days after it is published on this page, and the version number and the effective date above record when. There is no account and no mailing list, so this page is the only channel of notice. If a supply relationship with a named channel ever exists, notice is given through that channel as well.

13. Termination

You may stop using this website and the application at any time.

There is no account and no paid relationship today, so the operator has nothing to terminate.

If accounts, licence keys or paid plans are introduced, this section is rewritten with the grounds for termination and the notice given, and that happens before they go live.

14. Governing law and courts

Czech law governs these terms.

If you are a consumer, this choice does not remove the protection given to you by the mandatory rules of the country where you live, and it does not remove your right to bring proceedings before the courts of that country. Those rights apply whatever this section says.

15. Complaints and out-of-court dispute resolution

Send a complaint to the operator first, using the contact address in section 1.

If you are a consumer and the complaint is not settled, you may use out-of-court dispute resolution. The Czech Trade Inspection Authority (Česká obchodní inspekce) runs out-of-court resolution of consumer disputes in the Czech Republic.

The authority publishes these details: Česká obchodní inspekce, Ústřední inspektorát, Gorazdova 1969/24, 120 00 Praha 2, data box x7cab34.

16. Version and effective date

This document carries a version number and an effective date. Both change together whenever the text changes. This is the first version in force, so it takes effect on the date below rather than after a notice period.
