Terms of Services

Last Updated: January 26, 2024

Welcome to Ecole 601, an online community for learning languages. Ecole 601 is owned and operated by Lorelingo, a French SAS, 985 186 907 R.C.S. Paris and with its registered address at 78, Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Bureau 326 75008 Paris

For us transparency is very important, so our full Terms of Service are set out below, but to make it easier for you here is a short overview of the most important points:

• The basic version of Ecole 601 can be accessed free of charge.
• To access the language courses on Ecole 601 you must register for a free account.
• You have the option to purchase a Premium membership (“Membre 601”). With a Premium membership you have access to additional courses, exercises, games, certificates, etc. This is just an option; you can use Ecole 601 as basic member completely for free. If you purchase a Premium membership, it will renew automatically for the initial time period purchased, but you can cancel it at any time going directly to the payment portal here.
• There is a 14 days money back guaranteed to all our subscriptions.

This agreement is entered into by and between Ecole 601, and You (hereafter “Student”). Student’s use of Ecole 601’s Internet site (the “Site”) or any of the material or service offerings or other services offered on the Site including any off-line or third party components, data, lists, reports, dashboards, templates or services (collectively, the “Services”) is subject to these Terms of Use (this “Agreement”). If Student does not agree to this Agreement, Student agrees not to use or access the Services or the Site.
