Legal Notice, Terms of Service, Terms of Sale and Privacy Policy

1. Legal Notice

2. Scope

These terms govern:

• access to and use of the website located at https://talktowrite.com,
• access to and use of the TalkToWrite desktop software,
• free trials,
• purchases of software licenses,
• and the processing of personal data in connection with the website and software.

By accessing the website, creating an account, starting a trial, purchasing a license, or using the software, you agree to be bound by these terms.

If you do not agree with these terms, you must not use the website or the software.

3. Eligibility

To purchase or use the paid version of the software, you represent and warrant that you are:

• at least 18 years old, or
• an emancipated minor, or
• a minor acting with the authorization of your legal representative.

You also represent that you are legally capable of entering into a binding agreement under applicable law.

4. Description of the Product

TalkToWrite is a desktop software application designed to help users turn spoken input into written text.

At the date of these terms:

• the software is currently available for Windows,
• macOS support may be introduced in the future but is not currently guaranteed,
• the software may include local features and cloud-related features,
• certain cloud-related features may require the user to connect their own third-party API key.

The software is distributed as a downloadable desktop application. After purchase of a paid license, the user receives a license key enabling licensed use of the software in accordance with the selected plan.

5. Free Trial

TalkToWrite may offer a 7-day free trial.

Unless otherwise stated at the time of signup:

• the trial is available without requiring a payment card,
• the trial grants access to the software for 7 days,
• the trial may include access to all features made available during the trial period,
• continued long-term use after the trial requires the purchase of a paid license.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, limit, or discontinue the free trial at any time, including in cases of abuse, fraud, repeated circumvention of the trial system, legal necessity, or technical necessity.

6. Paid Plans and License Scope

At the time of writing, TalkToWrite may offer different license plans, including:

• a plan intended for 1 user and 1 device at a time,
• and a plan intended for 1 user and up to 3 devices, subject to the technical limits of the selected plan.

Unless expressly stated otherwise:

• each license is granted to a single user,
• a license may not be shared between multiple users,
• licenses are personal, limited, non-exclusive, revocable, and non-transferable,
• licenses may not be resold, sublicensed, rented, redistributed, or otherwise commercially exploited as software products.

A user may move their license from one device to another. When a user activates the software on a new device, a previously activated device may be automatically disconnected according to the technical rules of the relevant plan.

We reserve the right to prevent abusive activations, fraudulent use, technical circumvention, or unauthorized sharing.

7. Meaning of “Lifetime”

If a plan is described as a “lifetime” purchase, “lifetime” means the lifetime of the software product as commercially offered by us, not the lifetime of the purchaser.

A lifetime license means:

• a one-time payment for the relevant licensed plan,
• continued access to the purchased license without recurring subscription fees charged by us for that plan,
• and access to updates that we choose to make available for that software during its commercial lifetime.

“Lifetime” does not mean:

• guaranteed updates forever,
• guaranteed support forever,
• guaranteed compatibility with all future operating systems, devices, or third-party services,
• or any obligation for us to continue developing, maintaining, or distributing the software indefinitely.

8. Orders and Payment

Payment methods and payment processors used on this website are indicated at checkout.

We may apply to use third-party payment partners or Merchant of Record providers, including Creem, for some or all transactions in the future. If and when purchases are processed through Creem, Creem may act as Merchant of Record for such transactions, and payment processing, invoicing, tax handling, and related checkout terms may then be governed in whole or in part by Creem’s own terms and policies.

Until such payment setup is live and indicated at checkout, nothing in these terms should be read as a representation that Creem is currently processing all transactions on this website.

By completing a purchase, you agree to the payment terms, pricing, and checkout conditions displayed at the time of purchase.

9. Prices

Prices are displayed on the website or at checkout.

Unless otherwise stated:

• prices are shown in the currency indicated at checkout,
• the final amount payable is the amount shown at checkout,
• and any taxes, where applicable, will be handled in accordance with the payment flow and checkout information presented at the time of purchase.

We reserve the right to change pricing at any time for future purchases. Such changes do not affect licenses already purchased, except where required by law.

10. Refund Policy

TalkToWrite offers a 7-day refund policy for paid purchases.

To request a refund:

• the request must be sent by email to talktowritepro@gmail.com,
• within 7 calendar days of purchase,
• and with sufficient information to identify the order.

Unless otherwise required by law:

• refunds are granted without requiring a specific reason,
• refund requests are subject to verification of the relevant purchase,
• and any refunded license may be deactivated immediately after the refund is issued.

Continued access to a refunded paid license is not permitted.

We reserve the right to refuse abusive or fraudulent refund requests, including fraud, payment abuse, or repeated misuse of the refund policy.

11. License Restrictions

Except where expressly permitted by applicable law, you may not:

• copy, reproduce, distribute, resell, or redistribute the software,
• sublicense, rent, lease, or commercially exploit the software itself,
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code,
• bypass, disable, or interfere with licensing, authentication, security, or technical usage limitations,
• share your license with multiple users contrary to your selected plan,
• use stolen, unauthorized, or fraudulent credentials, API keys, or license keys,
• use the software in a way that violates applicable law or the rights of others.

You may use the software for your own personal use or internal professional use, subject to these terms. What is prohibited is the resale, redistribution, or unauthorized commercial exploitation of the software itself.

12. Third-Party Services and User API Keys

Some features of TalkToWrite may allow or require the use of third-party providers, including cloud AI or API providers.

For such features:

• you may be required to connect your own API key,
• you are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining access to any such third-party service,
• any fees charged by third-party providers are entirely your responsibility,
• we do not guarantee the availability, continuity, pricing, legality, or quality of any third-party provider,
• and we may add, remove, or change third-party integrations at any time.

When you choose to use a third-party provider through your own API key:

• your data may be transmitted directly from your device to that provider,
• such transmission is governed by that provider’s own terms and privacy practices,
• and you remain solely responsible for ensuring that your use complies with the provider’s terms.

We are not responsible for downtime, pricing changes, model changes, service interruptions, policy changes, or output quality changes imposed by third-party providers.

13. Local Processing and Cloud Processing

TalkToWrite may offer both local and cloud-based functionality.

Local Features

When using local features, voice and text processing may occur directly on your device. In such cases, your voice data does not transit through our servers.

Cloud Features

When you choose to use cloud features through a third-party provider connected with your own API key, your data may be sent directly to that provider from your device. We do not guarantee the availability or continuity of such cloud features.

You are responsible for choosing whether to use local or cloud functionality depending on your privacy, performance, and cost preferences.

• in violation of any applicable law or regulation,
• in violation of the terms of any third-party provider you connect to the software,
• to attempt to disrupt, damage, overload, or compromise the website, software, licensing system, or related infrastructure.

You remain solely responsible for:

• your use of any output produced through the software,
• your API usage and costs with third-party providers,
• and your compliance with all applicable laws and third-party terms.

15. Account, Access, Suspension and Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to the website, software, account, free trial, or license, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe that:

• you have engaged in fraud or abuse,
• you have attempted to reverse engineer the software or bypass licensing restrictions,
• you have shared a license in violation of your plan,
• you have initiated an abusive or fraudulent chargeback,
• or suspension is necessary for legal, security, operational, or technical reasons.

Termination or suspension does not automatically entitle you to a refund, except where required by law or expressly provided under our refund policy.
