1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Talkpad (“the App”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2. License

Talkpad is offered as a freemium service with optional paid subscriptions. You are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App on devices you own or control, subject to the terms below and the rules of any applicable distribution platform (such as the Apple App Store or Microsoft Store, where available).

3. Permitted Use

You may use Talkpad for personal and commercial purposes. You may not:

  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App
  • Redistribute, resell, or sublicense the App
  • Remove or alter any proprietary notices or labels
  • Use the App for any unlawful purpose
  • Attempt to circumvent usage limits or billing

4. Cloud Processing

Talkpad uses cloud-based AI for transcription. Audio is sent securely to third-party speech recognition providers and is not stored after transcription completes. You retain full ownership of any content you create with the App. An internet connection is required.

5. Accounts and Authentication

Talkpad uses Google Sign-In for account creation and authentication. By signing in, you authorize Talkpad to access your name and email address for account management purposes. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account.

6. Subscriptions and Billing

Paid subscriptions (Talkpad Pro) are billed through Stripe. You may cancel at any time from your account settings within the App or via the Stripe customer portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. We do not offer refunds for partial billing periods.

Promotional pricing (such as launch discounts) may be offered for a limited time. Talkpad reserves the right to modify pricing with reasonable notice to existing subscribers.

7. Free Plan and Trial

The free plan includes 2,500 words per week on desktop and 1,500 words per week on mobile. Limits reset weekly. New users receive a 14-day Pro trial at no cost. Talkpad may modify free plan limits with reasonable notice.

8. No Warranty

The App is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Transcription accuracy may vary depending on ambient noise, accent, and language.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Illumentis shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or related to your use of the App, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

10. Termination

Your license to use the App terminates automatically if you breach these Terms. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or applicable laws.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms occasionally. Material changes will be communicated via the App or our website. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
