1. Acceptance of these terms
By downloading, installing, or using the Whisper Glide app or the Whisper Glide keyboard (together, the "App"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the App. These terms form a binding agreement between you and Whisper Glide ("we", "us", "our").
2. License to use the app
We grant you a personal, limited, non exclusive, non transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, in accordance with the Apple App Store Terms of Service and these terms. This is a license, not a sale. We retain all rights, title, and interest in the App, including its software, design, trademarks, and content.
You may not copy, modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, create derivative works from it, rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, or redistribute it, or remove any proprietary notices from it, except where such restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
3. Eligibility
The App is not directed to children under 13, and you may not use it if you are under 13. If you are a minor in your jurisdiction, you may use the App only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these terms on your behalf.
4. Acceptable use
You agree to use the App lawfully and responsibly. Specifically, you agree not to:
- Use the App to create, transmit, or store content that is unlawful, harassing, defamatory, hateful, or that infringes the rights of others.
- Record any person without the consent required by the laws of your jurisdiction, including laws governing the recording of conversations.
- Interfere with, disrupt, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App, our processing endpoints, or any related systems.
- Use automated means to access the App or its services, or attempt to circumvent rate limits or other technical protections.
- Use the App in any way that violates applicable law or the rules of the Apple App Store.
You are responsible for anything you write, dictate, save, or send using the App.
5. Purchases and subscriptions
The App may offer paid features, one time purchases, or auto renewing subscriptions. All purchases are made through the Apple App Store and are charged to your Apple Account. We do not process payments and never receive your payment details.
- Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the price then in effect for your plan.
- You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple Account settings at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
- Where a free trial is offered, any unused portion of the trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
- Refunds are handled by Apple according to Apple's policies. We cannot issue refunds for App Store transactions, though we are glad to help you understand a charge.
Prices, plans, and the features included in them may change. Changes will not affect a billing period you have already paid for.
6. Your content
Anything you dictate, type, or save in the App is yours. We claim no ownership of it. Scratchpad notes, snippets, custom vocabulary, and settings are stored on your device. You are responsible for keeping your own backups of anything you would not want to lose, since deleting the App deletes the data it holds.
When you use optional cloud cleanup, you grant us the limited right to transmit and process that specific transcribed text solely to return the cleaned up result to you. That right ends when the request is answered. We do not store the text, and we do not use it for training.
7. Privacy
Our handling of your information is described in the Privacy Policy, which is part of these terms. In short: audio is captured only during active dictation in the main app, speech recognition is on device by default, audio is never uploaded, and there is no tracking of what you type.
8. Third party services
The App relies on services provided by Apple, including the App Store, iOS system frameworks, and Apple's speech recognition. Your use of those services is governed by Apple's own terms and policies. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or behavior of third party services, and their terms apply in addition to these.
9. Availability and changes
We work to keep the App reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features, including optional cloud cleanup, at any time, and we may release updates that your device must install to keep the App working correctly. Language support, recognition quality, and cleanup behavior may vary by device, iOS version, and locale.
10. Disclaimer of warranties
The App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, and non infringement.
Speech recognition and automated text cleanup are probabilistic technologies. They can misrecognize words, alter meaning, or produce output you did not intend. You are responsible for reviewing what the App produces before you send it, and you should not rely on the App for communications where an error would cause harm, including medical, legal, financial, or emergency contexts.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunity, arising out of or relating to your use of the App, whether based in contract, tort, strict liability, or any other theory, and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the App is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the App in the twelve months before the claim arose, or twenty five United States dollars.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you. In that case, our liability is limited to the smallest extent permitted by applicable law.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Whisper Glide and its officers, contractors, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of your misuse of the App, your violation of these terms, or your violation of the rights of any third party.
13. Termination
You may end this agreement at any time by deleting the App from your devices. We may suspend or terminate your license if you materially breach these terms, or if we are required to do so by law. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including sections 6, 10, 11, 12, and 15, will survive.
14. Apple specific terms
You acknowledge that these terms are between you and us, not with Apple, and that Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to a legal requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation. Apple is not responsible for investigating, defending, settling, or discharging any third party claim that the App infringes intellectual property rights. Apple and its subsidiaries are third party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.
15. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles, except where the mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence provide you with greater protection. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States, and you and we consent to that jurisdiction and venue.
Note: the specific state and venue for governing law will be named here once the operating entity is finalized.
16. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the App changes. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. If a change is material, we will give reasonable notice in the App or by another practical means before it takes effect. Continuing to use the App after an update means you accept the revised terms.
