Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Eidetic application for macOS and the meeteidetic.com website (together, the “Service”). Eidetic is an independent product built and operated by a solo developer (“we”, “us”). By downloading, installing, or using Eidetic, you agree to these Terms.

1. License

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use Eidetic on Apple silicon Macs that you own or control. You can try Eidetic free for your first 6 meetings; a paid license then unlocks the full app. You may not resell, sublicense, rent, or redistribute the app or share your license key.

2. Purchases, licensing & refunds

Payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy, which acts as the Merchant of Record (the seller of record) for your purchase and handles billing and applicable taxes. The license is a one-time purchase of €49 unless stated otherwise at checkout. We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee: if Eidetic isn’t right for you, email us within 14 days of purchase and we’ll refund you in full. Refunds are issued through Lemon Squeezy, our Merchant of Record, which also handles billing and applicable taxes.

3. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Service in violation of any applicable law or third-party rights;
• record or transcribe any conversation without the consent required by the laws that apply to you and the other participants;
• reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the app, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law;
• circumvent license validation or use the app without a valid license.

Recording consent is your responsibility. You are solely responsible for complying with recording, wiretapping, and privacy laws in your jurisdiction and for obtaining any consent needed from meeting participants.

4. Your content

Eidetic stores your recordings, transcripts, notes, and summaries locally on your Mac. You own your content, and we do not access, claim, or take any rights in it. You are responsible for backing up and securing the content on your device.

5. Third-party services

The Service relies on third parties including Lemon Squeezy (payments), GitHub (distribution and updates), and Cloudflare (hosting). Your use of those services may be subject to their own terms.

6. Updates & availability

We may release updates, and may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service. We aim to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.

7. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the maximum extent permitted by law. Automated transcription and summaries may contain errors and should not be relied on as a verbatim or legally authoritative record.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for loss of data, arising from your use of the Service. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law. Where liability cannot be fully excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid for the license.

9. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Germany, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, unless mandatory consumer-protection law in your country grants you other rights.

10. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will revise the “Last updated” date above, and continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
