End User License Agreement

01 Scope of License

Licensor grants you a personal, limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on any iOS or Android device that you own or control, for your personal or internal business use, in accordance with this Agreement and the usage rules of the platform from which you obtained the App (the Apple App Store Terms of Service or the Google Play Terms of Service, as applicable).

This Agreement governs any content, materials, or services accessible from or purchased within the App, as well as any updates that replace or supplement the original App, unless such update is accompanied by a separate agreement. You may not distribute or make the App available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices simultaneously without authorization. You may not transfer, redistribute, or sublicense the App. You may not copy (except as expressly permitted by this license), reverse-engineer, disassemble, decompile, attempt to derive the source code of, modify, or create derivative works of the App or any part of it, except to the extent that such restriction is prohibited by applicable law or permitted by the licensing terms of any open-source components included with the App.

02 Recording Consent and Your Legal Responsibilities

By using the recording features of the App, you represent and warrant that:

— You have obtained all legally required consents from every person whose voice or statements may be captured before you begin recording;
— You will not use the App to record any conversation you are not legally permitted to record;
— You will not use transcripts or summaries generated by the App in any manner that violates applicable law or the rights of others; and
— You understand that recording laws differ by location and that it is your responsibility to determine and comply with the laws of your jurisdiction.

Licensor is not responsible for your compliance with recording laws. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Licensor and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or relating to your violation of recording consent laws or regulations or any unauthorized recording you make using the App.

03 AI Services and Third-Party Processing

YostNotes uses third-party artificial intelligence and cloud services to deliver its core features. When you use the App's transcription or summarization features, audio recordings and resulting text are transmitted to the following processors acting on our behalf:

AssemblyAI — converts your meeting audio into a text transcript. Audio is deleted from AssemblyAI's servers immediately after transcription completes.

Anthropic — processes your transcript through the Claude API to generate summaries and related outputs. Anthropic does not store a retrievable copy of your content and does not use it to train its models.

By using these features, you acknowledge that your audio and transcript data will be transmitted to and processed by these third parties, which are located in the United States. Your use of these AI features is subject to Anthropic's and AssemblyAI's respective terms of service and privacy policies. Licensor is not responsible for the acts or omissions of these third parties.

AI-generated summaries and transcripts are provided for informational and productivity purposes only. They may contain errors, omissions, or inaccuracies. You should review all AI-generated output before relying on it or sharing it with others. Licensor makes no warranty regarding the accuracy or completeness of AI-generated content.

04 User Content

Any recordings, transcripts, notes, and other content you create or store in the App ("User Content") remain yours. You are solely responsible for your User Content and for ensuring you have all necessary rights to create and use it. Licensor does not claim ownership of your User Content.

You agree not to use the App to record, create, or store content that is unlawful, infringes the intellectual property or privacy rights of any person, or is otherwise abusive or objectionable. You are responsible for maintaining your own backups of important User Content. Licensor is not responsible for any loss of data stored on your device.
