Terms

Last updated 11 November 2026

What xread is

xread fetches a public X Article you choose and translates it into your language, keeping its format and layout. It is an independent service. It is not made, endorsed or supported by X Corp.

By using xread you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it.

Your account

• You sign in with your X account. There is no password.
• One account per person. Keep access to the email or account you sign in with to yourself; what is done from your account is your responsibility.
• You must be at least 13, or the age your country sets for agreeing to this yourself.

The Articles

• Every Article belongs to its author. xread does not own them and does not claim to.
• A translation is for your own reading. Do not republish it, sell it or present it as your own.
• If you are an author and want your Article kept out of xread, write to support@xread.page and we will stop translating it.

Free articles and packs

• When you first sign in, you get 10 articles free. Once per person.
• After that, articles come in packs: 100 for $6, or 400 for $18.
• Translating an Article into a language you have not had it in uses one article. The same Article in a second language uses another.
• Some other actions, such as exporting a copy, also use articles. xread shows how many before you confirm, and never uses them without your confirming.
• For each person new to xread who opens a link you shared, we add 1 article to your balance, or 3 if that person then creates an account: up to 10 people for each Article you share, and 60 articles in all. These are a thank-you, not a payment: they cannot be exchanged for money, and we may withhold or remove them where the visits were not real readers. If you post your link on X to earn them, X’s rules ask you to label that post as a promotion.
• Reopening an Article you have already read never uses anything.
• An Article that has started translating always finishes, even if it uses your last one.
• Articles never expire. They have no cash value and cannot be transferred.
• Prices can change, but never for a pack you have already bought.

Paying

Packs are sold by Dodo Payments, who act as the merchant of record. They take the payment, handle any sales tax, and issue your receipt. Their terms apply to the payment itself. Your articles are added once Dodo confirms the payment.

Refunds

• You can have a full refund for a pack within 14 days of buying it, as long as none of it has been used.
• After 14 days, or once any article from it has been used, a pack cannot be refunded, except where the law where you live says otherwise.
• Free articles are never refunded.

To ask for a refund, write to support@xread.page with the email on your receipt.

Fair use

Use xread to read. Do not:

• copy Articles or translations in bulk, or use xread to build a collection of them;
• share an exported PDF or Markdown copy publicly or with others — it is for your own reading, and the Article belongs to its author;
• use scripts, bots or other automated means to use xread;
• get around the limits on reading without an account, or make more than one account to get more free articles;
• resell access to xread or to its translations.

Posting a whole translation. The Text export lets you copy a whole translated Article and post it wherever you choose — on X, a blog, a chat or anywhere else. That shares the author’s work under your name, so whether and where to post it is your decision and your responsibility. Keep the credit lines it ends with; the author can still ask for it to be taken down, and the rules of wherever you post it apply.

Translations

Translations are made by machine and checked so that nothing is moved or invented, but they can still be wrong. Treat them as a reading aid. Where it matters, the original is always one tap away.

If xread changes or stops

xread depends on X Articles being readable. If an Article cannot be fetched, nothing is used. If xread ever has to stop for good, we will refund the articles you have left.

Closing an account

You can delete your account at any time from Settings. We can close an account that breaks these terms. If we close yours without you having broken them, we refund the articles you have left.

The legal part

xread is provided as it is, without promises beyond what these terms say. As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for losses caused by using xread or by a translation being wrong, and our total responsibility to you is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the problem. Nothing here takes away rights you have by law where you live.

Changes to these terms

If we change these terms, the date at the top changes. If a change matters to you, we tell signed-in readers before it takes effect. Using xread after that means you accept the new terms.
