Duolingo makes no guarantees that the app will work properly, be available when you need it, or be fit for your particular purpose — you use it at your own risk.

If the service goes down, contains errors, or fails to meet your learning needs, you generally cannot hold Duolingo responsible for any resulting harm under this clause.
Interpretive note: EU and UK consumer protection law may render portions of this disclaimer unenforceable, limiting its practical effect for users in those jurisdictions.
This clause removes implied warranty protections that consumers might otherwise rely on, meaning Duolingo is not obligated to ensure the platform works as expected or is suitable for your specific language learning goals.

"THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. DUOLINGO DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES ARE ERROR-FREE OR THAT ACCESS THERETO WILL BE CONTINUOUS OR UNINTERRUPTED.— Excerpt from Duolingo's Duolingo Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Disclaimer of implied warranties is standard in U.S. consumer technology terms and is generally permissible under the Uniform Commercial Code for service contracts. However, in EU jurisdictions, the Consumer Sales Directive and national implementations may impose minimum conformity guarantees for digital services that cannot be fully disclaimed, limiting the practical effect of this clause for EU users. The UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 similarly provides non-waivable implied terms regarding digital content quality. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. This is a standard disclaimer present in virtually all consumer software and digital service agreements. Its practical effect in the EU and UK is limited by mandatory statutory protections. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users retain statutory protections that may override broad disclaimer clauses. Consumer-facing warranty disclaimers are subject to the reasonableness test under applicable consumer protection law in these jurisdictions. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Institutional purchasers of Duolingo services (schools, enterprises) should assess whether the warranty disclaimer in the standard consumer terms is appropriate for institutional deployment or whether a separate agreement with service level commitments is warranted. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams reviewing this clause for EU or UK deployments should confirm that applicable statutory consumer rights are not inadvertently communicated as waived, and that institutional agreements include appropriate service level and availability commitments not present in the consumer terms.
