Terms of Service
Last updated: 4 June 2026
These terms (the “End User License Agreement” or “Agreement”) govern your use of the TalkToType application and related services. By installing or using TalkToType, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the app.
The short version
- It’s your license to use, not to own. You may install and use TalkToType on devices you control.
- Free to start. A free tier, a 14-day trial, and optional paid plans billed through our payment provider, cancellable any time.
- Your recordings are yours. You’re responsible for having the right to record the people you record.
- No warranty. AI transcriptions and summaries can contain errors; the app is provided “as is”.
1. Who provides the app
TalkToType (“the App”) is published by Laurens van Leer B.V. (“we”, “us”), Diefdijk 23, 4145 MJ Schoonrewoerd, Netherlands. “You” means the individual or organisation using the App.
2. License
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your own use, subject to these terms. We retain all intellectual-property rights in the App; nothing here transfers ownership to you.
3. Plans, trial and billing
The App offers a free tier, a 14-day free trial of the paid features, and optional paid plans (subscriptions and a one-time license for bring-your-own-key use). Paid plans are sold and billed through our third-party payment provider; the price, billing interval and what each plan includes are shown at the point of purchase. You can cancel a subscription at any time, and it remains active until the end of the period you have paid for. Unless required by law, payments already made are non-refundable. When a trial ends without an upgrade, your account continues on the free tier.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code or credentials from the App, except where this restriction is prohibited by law;
- resell, rent, sublicense, or redistribute the App or access to it;
- use the App to break any law or to infringe anyone’s rights; or
- abuse, overload, or attempt to circumvent the usage limits or security of our services.
You are solely responsible for obtaining any consent required by law before recording or transcribing other people. Recording laws differ by country and region; complying with them is your responsibility, not ours.
5. Your content and AI providers
Audio you record and the transcripts and summaries you create remain yours. To transcribe or summarise, the App sends your audio to the AI provider you choose (managed by us, or your own keys for Groq, OpenAI, or Google Vertex AI / Gemini). What happens to that data, and which regions and safeguards apply, is described in our Privacy Policy. By using the App you authorise this processing for the purpose of providing the service.
6. Availability and changes
We work to keep the App and its cloud services available and accurate, but we provide them on a best-effort basis. We may update, change, or discontinue features, plans, or the service itself, and we may update the App (including automatic updates) to fix issues or add functionality.
7. No warranty
The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. Speech recognition and AI-generated summaries are inherently imperfect and may contain errors; do not rely on them as the sole record where accuracy is critical.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Laurens van Leer B.V. is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of (or inability to use) the App. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
9. Termination
You may stop using the App and uninstall it at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially breach these terms or use the service in a way that harms others or us. On termination, the license in section 2 ends; sections that by their nature should survive (such as 7, 8, and 11) continue to apply.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify subscribers by email. Your continued use of the App after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Mandatory consumer-protection rights you have in your country of residence are not affected.
