Terms of use

Last updated: November 11, 2026

The service

SagEs helps you practise speaking German: a sentence is shown in your language, you say it in German, and the site compares your answer. The service is currently free. Some features may become paid later: you will be told beforehand, and nothing will be charged without your explicit agreement.

Your account

  • You must be at least 16 years old, or have a parent's consent.
  • Use an email address that belongs to you and keep your password secret.
  • An account is personal: do not share it.
  • If you think someone is using your account, change your password and let us know.

Rules of use

You must not:

  • try to access other people's data or non-public parts of the site;
  • attack, overload or disrupt the service;
  • get around usage limits;
  • copy content in bulk by automated means;
  • use SagEs for any illegal activity.

Content and scoring

Some sentences come from Tatoeba, under the Creative Commons CC BY 2.0 FR licence (see the Credits page). The other sentences, the design and the code belong to SagEs.

The score is calculated automatically and is only meant for learning. It can be wrong and does not replace an official certificate.

Availability

We do our best to keep SagEs running, but we cannot guarantee that it is always available (maintenance, outages, changes).

Liability

As the service is free, our liability is limited to intent and gross negligence. This limit does not apply to injury to life, body or health, nor where the law imposes unlimited liability (for example product liability).

Ending use

You can stop at any time and ask us by email to delete your account. We may suspend or delete an account that seriously breaks these rules.

Changes to these terms

If we change these terms in an important way, we will tell you in advance by email or on the site.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of the country where the site operator is established (see the legal notice). If you are a consumer living in the European Union, you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of your country of residence.
