Terms of Service

Last updated: July 16, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of SpeakOwn (the "Service"), a voice-dictation application and related website operated by SimpliFixed Technologies LLC, an Arizona limited liability company ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Service, or by creating a subscription, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, and capable of forming a binding contract, to purchase a subscription or otherwise use the Service. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements.

2. The Service

SpeakOwn is a Windows desktop application that captures audio you dictate, transcribes it, and applies automated text cleanup, then inserts the resulting text into the application you have focused. Transcription and cleanup are performed using third-party AI infrastructure (currently Groq) accessed through our servers. The Service requires an active, paid subscription (subject to any free trial described below) verified against a license key.

3. Accounts & License Keys

Your license key is personal to your subscription and must not be shared, sold, sublicensed, or otherwise made available to anyone who has not paid for it. You are responsible for keeping your license key confidential and for all activity that occurs under it. We may suspend or revoke a license key we reasonably believe is being shared, resold, or used fraudulently.

4. Subscription, Billing & Free Trial

The Service is offered on a subscription basis (monthly or annual, as selected at signup) and billed in advance through our payment processor, Stripe. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period until canceled. Where a free trial is offered, your payment method will be charged automatically when the trial ends unless you cancel before that date. You may cancel at any time through the app's Settings, the Stripe customer portal linked from Settings, or by contacting [email protected]; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access through that date. We do not prorate or refund partial billing periods except as described in Section 5.

We may change our prices with notice posted on this site or communicated to you directly; changes take effect at your next renewal at the earliest.

5. Refunds

Refund requests are handled on a case-by-case basis. Contact [email protected] within 14 days of a charge to request one. We are under no obligation to issue a refund outside of applicable law, but will consider reasonable requests in good faith.

6. Unlimited Usage & Fair Use

Both plans include unlimited dictation for ordinary personal use. "Unlimited" means we do not cap the number of dictations or words you may process as a single human user dictating in real time. It does not authorize automated, scripted, bulk, or non-human use of the Service, use on behalf of multiple end users under a single license, or any use intended to circumvent the per-license rate limits enforced by our servers. We may throttle, suspend, or terminate a license engaged in use that is inconsistent with normal individual dictation, without refund, if such use imposes disproportionate cost or risk on the Service.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to: (a) reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service except as permitted by law; (b) use the Service to generate, transcribe, or process unlawful content, or content that infringes a third party's rights; (c) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other users' accounts, or our infrastructure; (d) interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service, including by attempting to bypass rate limits or license verification; or (e) resell, sublicense, or provide the Service to third parties as your own offering. We may suspend or terminate access for violation of this section.

8. Your Content

You retain all rights to the audio you dictate and the text the Service produces for you. You grant us, and our infrastructure providers, the limited right to process that audio and text solely to provide the transcription and cleanup functionality of the Service. We do not use your dictation content to train AI models, and we do not sell your content. See our Privacy Policy for details on what is stored, where, and for how long.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on third-party providers, including but not limited to Groq (speech-to-text and text cleanup processing), Stripe (payment processing), and Resend (transactional email). Your use of the Service is also subject to the applicable terms of those providers. We are not responsible for outages, errors, or data handling by third-party providers beyond our reasonable control, though we select providers we believe handle data responsibly.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT TRANSCRIPTION OR TEXT CLEANUP WILL BE ACCURATE, ERROR-FREE, OR SUITABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE (INCLUDING MEDICAL, LEGAL, OR OTHER CONTEXTS WHERE TRANSCRIPTION ERRORS COULD CAUSE HARM), OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR FREE OF DEFECTS. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING DICTATED TEXT BEFORE RELYING ON IT.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL THE COMPANY, ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your misuse of the Service, or content you dictate or process through the Service.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service and cancel your subscription at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, engage in fraudulent or abusive use, or if we discontinue the Service. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 10 through 12 and 15) will survive.

14. Changes to the Service or These Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We may update these Terms from time to time; material changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

15. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service that cannot be resolved informally will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Arizona, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies. You agree to resolve disputes on an individual basis only, and not as part of any class, consolidated, or representative action, to the extent permitted by law.

16. Severability & Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements on the subject.
