Terms of Use

BeMyWords Skiwo AS · Pilestredet 17, 0164 Oslo, Norway · legal@skiwo.com Effective date: 2026-04-24

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern access to and use of the BeMyWords translation management platform and related services (the "Service").

BeMyWords is operated by:

Skiwo AS Org. no.: 916 636 660 Pilestredet 17, 0164 Oslo, Norway ("Operator", "we", "us")

"BeMyWords" refers to the translation management platform and brand operated by the Operator.

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

1. Purpose of the Service

BeMyWords is a cloud-based translation management platform. The Service allows developers and small teams to store source strings, manage translations across multiple languages, run machine-translation (MT) workflows with human review, and integrate translations into their applications via API, CLI, and code-level SDKs.

2. Who May Use the Service

The Service may be used by:

Individual developers
Small teams and businesses with software or content requiring translation
Translators working on behalf of a paying customer

You must be at least 18 years old or have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement to use the Service. Teams must have an authorised owner who accepts these Terms on the team's behalf.

3. Accounts and Access

You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for all activity carried out under your account or under API tokens issued to your account. You must notify us without undue delay if you suspect unauthorised access.

The Service is multi-tenant. Each tenant ("workspace") is logically isolated. You may not attempt to access data belonging to another tenant.

4. Your Content

"Your Content" means source strings, translations, glossary terms, screenshots, comments, and any other material you upload to or generate within the Service.

You retain all rights in Your Content. You grant the Operator a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to host, store, reproduce, modify, and process Your Content solely to the extent necessary to operate the Service for you — including routing source strings to machine-translation sub-processors on your instructions, storing translation memory for reuse, and serving translations back to your applications via API.

You represent that Your Content does not infringe any third-party rights and does not contain unlawful material.

5. Machine Translation

When you use the Service's machine-translation features, your source strings are transmitted to third-party MT providers listed in the Sub-processor List. The MT output is returned to the Service and stored as Your Content.

You are solely responsible for reviewing MT output before using it in production. The Service does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for purpose of any MT output.

6. Fees and Billing

Pricing is published on the Service's pricing page and may include a free tier with usage limits and paid tiers with higher limits and additional features.

Paid subscriptions are billed in advance per billing period. Invoices are issued and collected through Skiwo's invoicing partner (Payout Partner AS) on the Operator's behalf. Failure to pay an invoice by its due date may result in suspension of the Service for the affected tenant.

The Operator reserves the right to change fees with 30 days' written notice. Changes do not apply to periods already paid in advance.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. You must not:

Upload content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, or harmful
Attempt to access another tenant's data or otherwise circumvent the Service's isolation
Interfere with or disrupt the Service, including by running automated traffic beyond documented rate limits
Use the Service to train machine-learning models that compete with the Service
Resell or sublicense the Service without a written agreement with the Operator

8. Service Availability

The Operator targets but does not guarantee uninterrupted availability. Scheduled maintenance, third-party outages, and force majeure events may affect availability. The Operator will make reasonable efforts to communicate known outages via its status page.

9. Data Protection

Personal data is processed in accordance with applicable data protection law, including the GDPR. See our Privacy Policy and, for business customers, the Data Processing Agreement.

10. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights in the Service (excluding Your Content) belong to the Operator. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service for its intended purpose during your subscription.

11. Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided "as is". The Operator is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profits, lost data (beyond what is recoverable under the documented data-export features), or business interruption. The Operator's aggregate liability to you in any 12-month period shall not exceed the amount paid by you to the Operator during that period.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be excluded under Norwegian law.

12. Termination

You may terminate your subscription at any time via the dashboard. The Operator may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or fail to pay an outstanding invoice.

Upon termination, you may export Your Content for a period of 30 days, after which all Your Content will be deleted in accordance with the Privacy Policy and DPA.

13. Changes to These Terms

The Operator may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email to the tenant's owner address at least 30 days before taking effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

14. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by Norwegian law. Any dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of Oslo District Court.
