These Terms are between you and Justin Reed only, not with Apple Inc. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support services for the App.

In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). 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 by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and use of the App, including: (a) product liability claims; (b) any claim that the App fails to conform to applicable legal or regulatory requirements; and (c) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation.

Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

Additional Terms for Just Recorder

Medical Disclaimer

Just Recorder is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. The health tracking, symptom logging, and wellness features are provided for informational and personal tracking purposes only.

Any health-related data, insights, or summaries generated by the App should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

The App's AI-powered features may generate inaccurate or incomplete information. Do not rely solely on AI-generated summaries or extractions for medical decision-making.

Recording Laws and Consent

You are solely responsible for complying with all applicable laws regarding audio recording, including laws that may require consent from other parties before recording conversations.

Recording laws vary by jurisdiction. Some states and countries require all parties to consent to being recorded ("two-party consent" or "all-party consent" jurisdictions), while others only require one party (you) to consent ("one-party consent" jurisdictions).

It is your responsibility to:

  • Understand and comply with recording laws in your jurisdiction
  • Obtain necessary consent before recording others
  • Use recordings only for lawful purposes
  • Respect others' privacy and confidentiality

We are not liable for any legal consequences resulting from your improper or illegal use of recording features.

AI Credits and Third-Party API Usage

AI credits purchased through in-app purchases represent pre-paid access to OpenAI API services. By purchasing AI credits, you acknowledge that:

  • AI credits are non-refundable except as required by law
  • Credits do not expire but may be subject to rate limits
  • Actual API usage may vary based on OpenAI's pricing changes
  • We reserve the right to adjust credit values if OpenAI significantly changes pricing
  • If you provide your own OpenAI API key, in-app AI credits are not used

User-Generated Content

You retain all ownership rights to recordings, transcripts, and other content you create using the App. However, you are solely responsible for:

  • The content and legality of your recordings
  • Ensuring you have rights to record and transcribe any third-party content
  • Compliance with copyright, privacy, and other applicable laws
  • Backing up important recordings (we are not responsible for data loss)

Apple Watch Companion App

The watchOS companion app requires an iPhone with Just Recorder installed. Watch recordings are subject to the same terms as iPhone recordings. Battery life and recording duration on Apple Watch may be limited compared to iPhone.

OpenAI Terms and Responsibility

When you use AI features (with your own API key or purchased AI credits), your use of OpenAI's services is also governed by OpenAI's Terms of Use and Usage Policies. You agree to:

  • Comply with OpenAI's terms and policies
  • Not use AI features for prohibited purposes under OpenAI's policies
  • Accept responsibility for any content you send to OpenAI through the App
  • Not hold us liable for OpenAI's service availability, accuracy, or changes

Beta Features and Updates

The App may include beta or experimental features marked as such in the interface. These features:

  • May be incomplete, unreliable, or changed without notice
  • Are provided "as is" with no warranties
  • May be removed in future updates
  • Should not be relied upon for critical use cases

Export and Integration Features

When you export data to Apple Health, Reminders, or Calendar, that data becomes subject to Apple's terms and your device's privacy settings. We are not responsible for how Apple handles exported data.

No Warranty for Transcription Accuracy

Transcription services (both Apple Speech and OpenAI Whisper) may produce inaccurate results. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any transcriptions. Always verify important transcriptions against the original audio.

Background Recording Battery Usage

Background recording may significantly impact device battery life. We are not responsible for battery drain or device performance issues related to extended recording sessions.

Changes to Features

We reserve the right to add, modify, or remove features at any time, including:

  • AI-powered features and extraction templates
  • Integration capabilities with third-party services
  • Recording formats and quality options
  • Export and sharing options

Major changes affecting core functionality will be communicated through app updates.
