Effective date: May 19, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Narration Room iOS app ("Narration Room," "we," "us," or "our").
By downloading, accessing, or using the iOS app, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
1. Scope
These Terms apply to the Narration Room iOS app.
The Narration Room website, Mac app, website analytics, Mac app diagnostics, Mac app local AI-assisted features, and other website or Mac-specific features are governed by the general Narration Room Terms of Service unless separate terms apply.
2. Eligibility
You must be legally capable of entering into a binding agreement to use Narration Room. If you use the app on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
Narration Room is not directed to children. If you are under the age required to consent to data processing or enter contracts in your location, use the app only with permission from a parent or guardian.
3. App License and Apple Terms
If you obtain Narration Room through Apple, your use of the app is also subject to Apple's applicable terms and Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement, unless a separate custom end-user license applies.
Subject to your compliance with these Terms and Apple's applicable terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the iOS app on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by Apple.
Apple is not responsible for the Narration Room service itself except as required under applicable law. To the extent Apple's required terms apply, Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of the app license terms for the iOS app.
4. Local Transcription and Your Content
Narration Room helps you turn speech into transcripts you can review, rename, share, and delete. Your speech, transcripts, transcript titles, speaker labels, exports, and other content you create, rename, sync, share, or distribute using the app are "Your Content."
You retain your rights in Your Content. You are responsible for Your Content and for how you record, transcribe, use, store, sync, share, and distribute it.
You confirm that:
- you have the rights, permissions, and lawful basis needed to record, transcribe, store, sync, share, and use Your Content,
- Your Content and your use of the app do not violate law or the rights of any person or entity.
5. Recording Consent and Responsible Use
Recording and transcription laws vary by location and context. Some places require consent from every participant before recording or transcribing a conversation. You are responsible for understanding and following the laws and rules that apply to your use.
You agree not to use Narration Room to:
- record, transcribe, store, sync, share, or distribute conversations where you do not have the required rights or consents,
- violate privacy, publicity, confidentiality, employment, professional, intellectual-property, or other rights,
- harass, threaten, surveil, deceive, impersonate, or harm another person,
- create, publish, or distribute unlawful, deceptive, harmful, defamatory, or abusive content,
- interfere with, disrupt, reverse engineer, or bypass safety, security, access, or platform controls,
- use the app in violation of applicable law, regulation, Apple terms, or these Terms.
6. Transcription Accuracy
Speech recognition, speaker labels, timestamps, titles, and other automated or assisted outputs can be wrong, incomplete, delayed, misleading, or require correction before use.
You are responsible for reviewing transcripts before relying on them, publishing them, sharing them, using them as records, or making decisions based on them.
Narration Room is not intended to create certified transcripts, official records, legal evidence, medical records, employment records, or other regulated records unless you independently verify the output and satisfy all applicable requirements for that use.
7. iCloud Sync
iCloud sync is optional and off by default. If you turn it on, transcript data is copied to your personal iCloud and may become available on your other Apple devices.
You are responsible for your Apple Account, iCloud settings, iCloud storage limits, device settings, and any access you give to other people or devices. Apple operates iCloud under Apple's own terms and privacy policy.
Turning off iCloud sync stops future uploads from that device. Transcripts already copied to iCloud may remain in iCloud unless you delete them through the app or manage them through Apple iCloud controls.
8. Sharing and Export
The app may let you share or export transcript text through iOS sharing features or other destinations you choose.
When you share or export Your Content, you are responsible for the destination, recipients, permissions, confidentiality, and any legal obligations that apply. Third-party apps, services, people, or organizations that receive Your Content handle it under their own terms and policies.
9. Speaker Mode and Downloads
If Speaker mode is available and you choose to enable it, the app may need to download a speaker model before the feature can run. Model downloads may depend on Apple, FluidAudio's open model repository, repository hosts, infrastructure providers, or network availability.
We do not guarantee that every model, download, provider, language, feature, or local processing path will remain available indefinitely.
10. No Professional Advice or High-Stakes Reliance
Narration Room is a transcription and productivity tool. It does not provide legal, medical, financial, regulatory, therapeutic, safety, or other professional advice.
You may not use the app as the sole or primary basis for medical, legal, financial, safety-critical, eligibility, employment, housing, insurance, or similarly high-impact decisions. If you use transcripts in professional, regulated, sensitive, or high-stakes contexts, you are responsible for qualified human review and for satisfying all applicable legal, professional, and organizational requirements.
11. Intellectual Property
Narration Room owns the app, website, branding, design, software, and related materials, except for third-party materials owned by their respective licensors. Your use of the app does not transfer ownership of those materials to you.
Some third-party components are provided under open-source licenses. Those license terms apply to the relevant components, and nothing in these Terms limits rights you receive under those open-source licenses.
Except for the limited license granted to you to use the app in accordance with these Terms, we reserve all rights not expressly granted.
12. Feedback
If you send suggestions, ideas, or feedback about Narration Room, you allow us to use that feedback to improve the app and related services without owing compensation.
13. Availability and Changes
We may update, improve, modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the app, local features, iCloud-related behavior, supported languages, model downloads, speaker features, export options, or related services over time.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, continuous feature support, or that all features, languages, models, providers, or output formats will remain available indefinitely.
14. Online Components
Narration Room is local-first, but some components may involve online services or platform services, such as App Store distribution, Apple speech-recognition assets, iCloud sync, support, website access, diagnostics Apple makes available to developers, or optional model downloads.
Availability may be limited where reasonably needed to:
- address unlawful, harmful, or abusive use,
- protect security or reliability,
- comply with law or platform rules,
- respond to a provider, platform, or infrastructure outage.
You may stop using the app at any time.
15. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Narration Room is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.
We disclaim warranties, express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, fully accurate, or suitable for your intended use.
16. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages,
- we will not be liable for loss of profits, revenues, business, goodwill, data, content, transcripts, recordings, or use,
- our aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the app will not exceed the greater of CHF 50 or the amount you paid to us for the app in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
17. Responsibility for Claims
To the extent permitted by law, you are responsible for claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses arising from:
- Your Content,
- your recording, transcription, syncing, sharing, export, or other use of the app,
- your unlawful or improper use of the app,
- your violation of these Terms,
- your violation of applicable law or the rights of a third party.
18. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Switzerland, excluding conflict-of-law rules, unless applicable consumer law requires otherwise.
19. Venue
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the app shall be brought in the competent courts of Geneva, unless applicable law requires a different venue.
20. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. If we do, we will post the updated version and update the effective date. Continued use of the app after revised Terms become effective means you accept the updated Terms.
