By accessing, registering for, purchasing, or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Service.

1. Eligibility and Acceptance

1.1 Eligibility

The Service is not intended for individuals under the age of 13. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are at least 13 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company, organization, or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms.

1.2 Electronic Acceptance

You agree that your use of the Service, creation of an account, clicking of buttons such as "Sign up," "Continue," "Subscribe," or similar, and other electronic actions constitute your electronic signature and acceptance of these Terms, and that such acceptance is legally binding to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

1.3 Changes to the Service

We may update, modify, improve, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, including features, interfaces, usage allotments, integrations, or supported functionality.

2. Accounts and Security

2.1 Account Registration

Some features of the Service require an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep that information updated.

2.2 Account Responsibility

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. We are not liable for losses caused by unauthorized use of your account resulting from your failure to safeguard your credentials or devices.

2.3 Security Measures

You agree to use reasonable security precautions, including protecting your credentials, maintaining secure devices and browsers, and promptly notifying us if you suspect unauthorized access, account compromise, or misuse.

3. Plans, Usage Limits, and Fair Use

3.1 Plans and Features

We may offer free and paid plans with different features, quotas, usage allowances, rate limits, storage limits, and availability. Features and plan details may be described on our website, in the product interface, or in your account dashboard.

3.2 Usage Limits and Rate Limits

Your use of the Service may be subject to quotas, credits, hard caps, soft caps, concurrency restrictions, throttling, rate limits, audio processing limits, AI generation limits, storage limits, backup limits, or similar operational limits. These may be displayed in the Service, including in your dashboard.

3.3 Enforcement of Limits

We reserve the right to enforce such limits at any time to protect system stability, maintain fair access, prevent abuse, control third-party processing costs, and support the continued operation of the Service. If you exceed a limit, we may throttle, suspend, restrict, or stop certain functionality without liability.

3.4 Fair Use

You may not use the Service in a manner that is excessive, abusive, commercially exploitative beyond your plan's intended scope, or designed to circumvent limits, including through multiple accounts, automation, proxying, shared credential pools, scraping, batching strategies intended to evade quotas, or other techniques intended to extract disproportionate value from the Service.

4. Subscriptions, Billing, Renewals, and Cancellation

4.1 Paid Features

Certain features of the Service may require payment, including but not limited to premium AI usage, increased usage limits, cloud features, backups, or other premium functionality.

4.2 Billing Providers

Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers, including but not limited to Stripe, RevenueCat, app marketplace billing providers, or other processors. Your payments may also be subject to those providers' terms, policies, and procedures.

4.3 Recurring Billing and Renewals

If you subscribe to a recurring plan, you authorize us and/or the applicable billing provider to charge your payment method automatically on a recurring basis until cancellation. Billing intervals may be monthly, annual, or otherwise specified at the time of purchase.

4.4 Taxes

Prices may exclude applicable taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments unless otherwise stated. You are responsible for any such amounts associated with your purchase, except for taxes imposed on our income.

4.6 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through the billing method or account controls made available to you. Unless otherwise required by law, cancellation will take effect at the end of the current paid billing period, and you will retain access through that period. Deleting your account does not necessarily cancel an active subscription unless explicitly stated in the cancellation flow.

4.7 No Refunds

Except where required by law, all fees are non-refundable, including for partial billing periods, unused time, unused credits, unused usage allotments, or downgrades made before the end of a billing period.

4.8 Pricing Changes

We reserve the right to change pricing, plan structures, entitlements, and included usage at any time. Any such changes will apply prospectively and will not affect the price for your then-current billing period already paid, unless otherwise required by law or agreed by you.

4.9 Payment Failures

If a payment method fails, expires, or is declined, we may retry payment, suspend paid features, downgrade your account, limit functionality, or terminate access to premium features until payment is successfully received.

4.10 Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service and recover associated costs, to the extent permitted by law. Payment disputes involving third-party billing platforms may need to be resolved directly with the applicable platform.
