These terms cover the Popup Dictionary browser extension and the website at this address. By installing the extension or buying a plan, you agree to them. They are written to be read, not to be survived.
Popup Dictionary is a browser extension. You select text on a page and it shows you a translation, a dictionary entry and the pronunciation. It is a reading aid. It is not a professional translation service, and its output should not be relied on where a mistranslation would cause harm — legal, medical, financial or safety-critical text included.
It is built and operated by one individual: Lê Văn Thiện, trading as Epitchi, based in Vietnam, contactable at thienvanlea1@gmail.com. There is no company behind it and no ticket queue — email goes straight to the person who wrote the code.
| Plan | What you get |
|---|---|
| Free | Translation, the dictionary, pronunciation and saved words. No account, no time limit, no expiry. This is not a trial. |
| Premium | Everything in Free, plus the AI actions — summarise, improve writing, check grammar. Up to 300 AI requests per calendar month, each up to 5,000 characters. |
| Business | Premium with a raised monthly limit, agreed with you in advance and invoiced for the team. Arranged by email — tell me the volume you need and I will quote it. |
There is no free trial, because the free plan does not expire. Use it for as long as you want before deciding whether the paid features are worth anything to you.
Payments are handled by Creem, which acts as the merchant of record. That means Creem is the seller for the transaction and is responsible for collecting and remitting any sales tax or VAT. Creem's own terms apply to the payment itself. Prices are shown in US dollars; tax, where it applies, is added at checkout.
Your licence is tied to the email address you pay with. Use the address you want it on. If you paid with the wrong one, email me and I will move it — do not buy twice.
A licence is for one person. Do not publish or share it.
Because the free plan never expires, you can evaluate everything the extension does before paying. For that reason I do not offer discretionary refunds once a subscription period has begun, and there are no partial refunds for unused time on a period already paid for.
Statutory withdrawal rights. If you are a consumer in the EU or the UK you have a statutory right to withdraw from this purchase within 14 days. Where you asked for immediate access at checkout and the service was supplied in full within that window, that right may be reduced or lost — but where it applies it applies regardless of anything else in these terms, and I will honour it. To use it, email thienvanlea1@gmail.com within 14 days of purchase, from the address you paid with. Refunds are issued by Creem, the merchant of record, to the original payment method.
Billing errors are always put right. Charged twice, charged after cancelling, or a paid feature did not work and I could not fix it — email me and I will arrange the refund through Creem. I would rather refund you than argue.
Monthly and yearly plans renew automatically until you cancel. You can cancel at any time through the customer portal Creem provides; you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for. The lifetime plan is a single payment and does not renew.
Prices may go up as features are added. If you are already subscribed, your price does not change for as long as that subscription stays active.
The AI actions cost real money per request, so the monthly cap in section 3 is the limit and it is enforced by the server. Do not attempt to work around it, resell access, or drive the service automatically.
Do not use the AI actions to generate or process unlawful content, content that infringes another person's rights, or material that sexualises minors. Access is terminated for doing so, without refund, and reported where the law requires it.
The free translation and dictionary features are served by third parties (Google Translate and dictionaryapi.dev). They are used without a contract and they can change, rate-limit or stop at any time. If that happens, the affected feature stops working until it is replaced. The paid AI features run on a third-party model provider and are subject to the same reality.
The extension is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. It is not guaranteed to be uninterrupted, error-free, or accurate. To the maximum extent the law allows, my total liability for any claim relating to the product is limited to the amount you actually paid for it in the twelve months before the claim — which, on the free plan, is nothing.
Nothing here removes any right you have under consumer law that cannot be removed by agreement.
There is no login, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking of your browsing. The free features store nothing about you on any server I run. Buying a plan creates one record — the email address you paid with, the plan on it, and a monthly request count — and you can have it deleted by asking. The server also counts requests per network address for a couple of minutes to block automated abuse. The AI actions send the text you selected to a third-party model provider. All of that, including who that provider is and how long each thing is kept, is set out in the privacy policy, which is part of these terms.
You can stop at any time by uninstalling the extension. I can suspend a licence that is being used in breach of section 8, or refuse service where the law requires it.
If these terms change, the date at the top changes with them. Continuing to use the extension after a change means you accept the new version. Material changes affecting an active subscription will be emailed to the address the licence is on.
These terms are governed by the laws of Vietnam, where the operator is based. Payment transactions are additionally subject to the terms of Creem as merchant of record.
