Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and [COMPANY LEGAL NAME], [REGISTERED ADDRESS] ("we", "us") for the use of the VoiceJots: Encrypted Notes application (the "App"). By downloading or using the App you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, these Terms supplement Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Standard EULA"); where they conflict, these Terms apply to the extent permitted by Apple. Section 14 contains terms required by Apple.

1. License

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on devices you own or control, as permitted by the rules of the store you obtained it from. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell or lease the App, or reverse-engineer it, except where the law or an applicable open-source license allows it.

Open-source components and machine-learning models included in or downloaded by the App are licensed under their own terms, listed in the App under Settings → About → Licenses and in our Third-Party Notices. Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under those licenses.

2. Your content

You own everything you record, write or attach in the App ("Your Content"). It is stored only on your device, encrypted, and we never receive it. You are solely responsible for Your Content and for any copies you export or share.

3. Recording other people

Laws on recording conversations differ between countries and states. In some places everyone taking part must agree to be recorded. You are solely responsible for obtaining any consent required by law before recording and for how you use recordings. The App's consent prompt is a convenience and does not guarantee compliance. Do not use the App to record anyone unlawfully.

4. AI-generated output

Transcripts, speaker labels, suggested speaker names, summaries and search results are produced automatically by on-device machine-learning models and may be incomplete or inaccurate. They are not legal, medical, financial or other professional advice. Check important information against the original recording before relying on it. You can edit transcripts and summaries; edited text is your responsibility.

5. Security, recovery phrase and data loss

The App encrypts your data with keys that only you control. At setup it shows a 24-word recovery phrase: keep it safe and private. We do not have your keys or your recovery phrase and cannot restore access to your data. If you lose your device and your recovery phrase, or delete the App or use "Delete everything", your data is lost permanently. App data is not included in iCloud or Android device backups. Keeping your own exports of important notes is your responsibility.

6. Free plan and Pro subscription

Free. Recordings are limited to 30 minutes each and to 3 hours of recording per calendar month. All other features are included. The monthly allowance is counted on your device.

Pro removes these recording limits. It is offered as an auto-renewing subscription:

Prices in other countries are set by the store in local currency and shown before you buy; taxes may apply.

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account when you confirm the purchase, or when a free trial ends.
• The subscription renews automatically at the same price and period unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends.
• You can manage or cancel the subscription in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the current paid period; deleting the App does not cancel it.
• If you cancel during a free trial, you are not charged. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
• Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies; we cannot issue refunds for store purchases.
• If we change the price, the store will notify you in advance as its rules require, and you can cancel before the new price applies.

Because the recording allowance is stored only on your device, reinstalling the App resets it together with all of your data.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the App to break the law, to record or process information you have no right to, to infringe anyone's rights, or to interfere with our servers (for example, by abusive automated downloads).

8. Model downloads and updates

The App downloads its models from our servers after installation and may need to download updated models later. We may update, change or discontinue features of the App. We will try to keep your existing data readable after updates, but you are responsible for keeping exports of anything important.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

To the extent permitted by law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that transcripts or summaries will be accurate.

10. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits or business, arising from your use of or inability to use the App. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid for the App in the 12 months before the claim, or USD 50, whichever is greater.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, and nothing affects your statutory rights as a consumer where you live.

11. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it. We may end your license if you materially breach these Terms. Sections 2–5 and 9–13 survive termination.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION], without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be decided by the courts of [VENUE], except that consumers may bring claims in the courts of their country of residence where the law gives them that right.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We will change the effective date and, for material changes, notify you in the App before they take effect. If you continue to use the App afterwards, the updated Terms apply.

14. Additional terms for Apple devices

If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store:

1. These Terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
2. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.
3. If the App fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the App.
4. Apple is not responsible for any product claims, including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, or consumer-protection claims relating to the App.
5. Apple is not responsible for investigating or defending any claim that the App infringes a third party's intellectual property rights.
6. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
7. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.
