Terms of Use

Last updated: 15 June 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your download and use of the Dictera application (the "App") and the website at https://dictera.app (together, the "Service"). By downloading, installing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Who we are

The Service is operated by Zahorulko Yevhen (TIE: Z2053423B), an independent professional (Autónomo) established in Spain ("we", "us", "our").
Business address: Calle Pla de la Ramona 4, 46500 Sagunto, Valencia, Spain.
Contact: info@dictera.app.

2. License to use the App

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the App on Mac computers that you own or control. A single subscription license may be activated on up to two (2) Macs at a time; you may deactivate an activation to move it to another Mac.

You agree not to: (a) copy, redistribute, sell, rent, or sublicense the App; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law; (c) circumvent or tamper with licensing, trial, or security mechanisms; or (d) remove proprietary notices.

3. Free trial

The App offers a free trial period (currently 14 days) so you can evaluate it. We may change or end the trial offer at any time. When the trial ends, an active subscription is required to continue using features that depend on it; your locally stored data remains accessible.

4. Subscriptions and payments

4.1 Merchant of Record. Subscriptions are sold and processed by our payment provider, Lemon Squeezy, acting as the "Merchant of Record". Your purchase is also subject to Lemon Squeezy's terms and privacy policy. Lemon Squeezy handles billing, applicable taxes (such as VAT), and payment processing.

4.2 Billing and auto-renewal. Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or yearly, depending on the plan you choose) and renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled beforehand. By subscribing, you authorize the recurring charge until you cancel. Prices are shown at checkout and may vary by location; applicable taxes may be added or included as required by law.

4.3 Cancellation. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access to paid features until then.

4.4 Refunds. Refunds, where applicable, are handled by Lemon Squeezy in accordance with its refund policy and your statutory consumer rights. If you are an EU/EEA consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected by these Terms.

4.5 Non-payment. If a renewal payment fails or a subscription lapses, access to paid features may be suspended or terminated.

5. Acceptable use

You agree to use the Service lawfully and not to use it to create, transcribe, or distribute content that is illegal, infringing, or harmful, or in any way that violates the rights of others or applicable law.

6. Recording and your responsibilities

The App transcribes audio captured by your microphone. Laws regarding the recording and transcription of conversations vary by jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the App — including obtaining any necessary consents from other participants — complies with the laws that apply to you.

7. Intellectual property

The App and the Service, including their software, design, interfaces, graphics, logos, trademarks, and underlying technology (the "Materials"), are owned by us and/or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms grant you no rights in the Materials other than the limited license in Section 2. Text you create with the App belongs to you.

8. Third-party and open-source components

The App includes third-party open-source components, including FluidAudio (Apache License 2.0) for on-device speech recognition and Sparkle (MIT License) for software updates. These components are provided under their respective licenses, which continue to apply to them.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of transcriptions or AI-generated output. You are responsible for reviewing transcribed text before relying on it. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including your statutory consumer rights.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, or goodwill. Our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid for the Service in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) €100. This section does not limit liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and expenses arising from your misuse of the Service or your breach of these Terms or of applicable law.

12. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these Terms. You may stop using the Service at any time. Sections relating to intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law survive termination.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Continued use of the Service after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

14. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Spain, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. If you are a consumer, you may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence or in Spain, and you benefit from any mandatory consumer-protection provisions of your country of residence. If you are not acting as a consumer, the courts of Valencia, Spain shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms.
