Voice Recorder – Terms of Use

1. Agreement

These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and RiekApps for the Voice Recorder app on Android and iOS and the AI summaries service behind it. By installing or using the app you accept these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, uninstall the app.

2. Licence

RiekApps gives you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Voice Recorder on devices you own or control. You may not:

• copy, sell, rent or redistribute the app;
• reverse engineer it, except where the law allows this despite these Terms;
• use the summaries service other than through the app, or try to get around its subscription check or allowance;
• use the app to break the law or anyone else’s rights.

3. The Free Version

Recording, playback, trimming, bookmarks, folders, search by name, sharing and M4A export are free and unlimited. The free version shows ads. The Pro tools other than summaries come with a small number of free tries in total, shared between them, before a subscription is needed; the app shows how many are left.

4. Voice Recorder Pro

An active subscription unlocks:

• no ads;
• on-device transcription and transcript search;
• Clean voice (background noise removal);
• WAV export, fade in and out, and silence removal;
• AI summaries with key points and action items (see section 6).

Transcription relies on the speech recognition built into your phone. Which languages are available, and how accurate they are, depends on your device and operating system version, not on RiekApps.

5. Billing, Renewal And Cancellation

• Plans. Monthly ($3.99 in the US) and yearly ($19.99 in the US). The price in your currency is shown in the app before you buy, and may include local taxes.
• Payment. Charged to your Google Play or Apple account when you confirm the purchase.
• Auto-renewal. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. Your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends.
• Cancelling. Cancel any time in Google Play (Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions) or in your Apple ID settings (Subscriptions). The app’s Settings has a link to that page. Pro stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
• Refunds. Refunds are handled by Google Play or Apple under their own policies. RiekApps cannot issue store refunds.
• Price changes. If the price changes, the store notifies existing subscribers first and, where required, asks for your agreement.
• Earlier one-time Pro. Anyone who bought the earlier one-time Pro keeps what it included. AI summaries need the subscription because every summary has a running server cost.

6. AI Summaries

• Allowance. Summaries are covered up to 30 hours of recordings a month, so heavy use cannot make the service unaffordable for everyone. The app shows how much is left and when it resets. The allowance may be lower in some regions to match local prices.
• Accuracy. Summaries are written by an AI model from the transcript, which may itself contain recognition errors. They can miss or misstate things. Do not rely on a summary for medical, legal, financial or safety decisions without checking the recording.
• Availability. The service may be briefly unavailable or busy. When it is, try again later; recordings and transcripts are unaffected.
• Content. Only summarise recordings you have the right to process. The transcript is handled as described in the Privacy Policy.

7. Recording Other People

Laws on recording conversations differ between countries and states. Some require everyone in a conversation to agree before it is recorded. You are responsible for knowing and following the law where you record, and for how you use and share recordings of other people.

8. Your Recordings

Your recordings, transcripts and summaries belong to you. They are stored on your device, and RiekApps claims no rights in them. Because there is no cloud backup, losing, resetting or replacing your phone can lose recordings you have not exported or shared. Back up anything important.

9. Availability

We may change, add or remove features to improve the app. If a paid feature is permanently removed, we will say so in the app before it happens.

10. Disclaimers And Liability

The app is provided “as is”. As far as the law allows, RiekApps gives no warranty that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that transcripts and summaries will be accurate.

As far as the law allows, RiekApps is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for lost recordings or data, and its total liability is limited to the amount you paid for Voice Recorder in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under consumer law that cannot be excluded.

11. App Store Terms

If you got the app from the App Store, these Terms are between you and RiekApps, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide support or maintenance, and is not responsible for claims about the app. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them. Apple’s standard end-user licence also applies where it gives you more rights.

12. Changes

If these Terms change, the new version is published on this page with a new effective date. Continuing to use the app after that means you accept the change.
