End User License Agreement.

The App is a privacy-first, on-device dictation and transcription tool for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and visionOS. It captures audio from your device, transcribes it locally using WhisperKit and related on-device machine-learning components, and stores the resulting transcripts on the same device. Optional features include speaker diarization, exports (PDF/TXT/Markdown/SRT/VTT), widgets, and — for subscribers — synchronization of transcripts across your own devices via your personal iCloud account. The App performs all core processing on-device; no audio and no transcript content is transmitted to the Licensor's servers.

Subject to your continuous compliance with this EULA and, where applicable, with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions (available at apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes), the Licensor grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to download, install, and use the App:

1. on any Apple-branded device that you own or control; and
2. as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, including any permitted use by members of your Family Sharing group or by accounts you otherwise associate with yourself through Apple's Usage Rules.

The App is licensed, not sold, to you. You acquire no ownership interest in the App, in any copy of it, or in any intellectual-property rights related to it. All rights not expressly granted to you under this EULA are reserved by the Licensor and its licensors.

You agree that you will not, and will not permit any third party to:

1. copy, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, port, or create derivative works of the App, in whole or in part, except as expressly permitted by this EULA or by mandatory applicable law (including, where applicable, §§ 69d, 69e of the German Copyright Act);
2. rent, lease, lend, sell, resell, sublicense, distribute, publish, broadcast, or otherwise transfer the App or any rights in it to any third party;
3. reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code, algorithms, data models, or non-public interfaces of the App, except to the extent that such restriction is prohibited by mandatory applicable law;
4. remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trademark, authorship, or other proprietary notice in or on the App;
5. circumvent, disable, or otherwise interfere with any security, licensing, entitlement, purchase-verification, rate-limiting, or telemetry mechanism of the App;
6. use the App to create, train, fine-tune, benchmark, or evaluate any machine-learning model that competes with the App or with the Licensor's products, or to scrape, harvest, or build any dataset from the App's outputs for such purposes;
7. use the App in violation of any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right, including but not limited to laws relating to recording, privacy, data protection, and secrecy of communications; you are solely responsible for obtaining any consents required to record any person whose voice you capture with the App;
8. use the App in any high-risk setting in which its failure could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical, environmental, or financial harm (including without limitation the operation of aircraft, nuclear facilities, life-support systems, medical devices, or critical infrastructure); or
9. use the App in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the App, any server or network it connects to, or any third-party service (including, for paying subscribers, Apple's iCloud).

4.1 Paid Features

Certain features of the App — referred to as "Premium" — are made available only to End-Users who hold an active subscription. Subscriptions are offered through Apple's In-App Purchase system. As of the effective date of this EULA, the Licensor offers the following subscription products (prices shown for reference only; authoritative prices are those displayed in the App Store at the time of purchase in your local currency):

1. Dikta Premium — Monthly, product identifier dikta.premium.monthly: auto-renewing monthly subscription.
2. Dikta Premium — Annual, product identifier dikta.premium.annual: auto-renewing yearly subscription, offered to eligible accounts with a seven (7) day free introductory trial (see Section 4.3).

The Licensor may add, remove, rename, or reprice subscription products, or introduce promotional offers, at any time. Changes to the price or material terms of an existing subscription you already hold will be announced in accordance with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and applicable law; you will be asked to consent to continuing changes where required.

4.2 Billing, Renewal, and Cancellation

All subscription purchases, renewals, cancellations, refunds, and billing disputes are managed by Apple under the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and are charged to the Apple ID used to complete the purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period at the then-current price until cancelled. You can view, manage, and cancel your subscription at any time in the App Store's subscription-management screen (Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on iOS/iPadOS, App Store → Account → Subscriptions on macOS). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain Premium access until that date. The Licensor does not and cannot process refunds; refund requests must be directed to Apple.

4.3 Free Introductory Trial

Where a free introductory trial is offered and you are eligible for it under Apple's rules, the trial begins when you first activate the subscription. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the subscription automatically converts into a paid, auto-renewing subscription at the then-current price and is charged to your Apple ID. Only one free trial per Apple ID (and per Family Sharing group, as applicable) is available; Apple determines eligibility, and the Licensor has no influence on this determination.

4.4 Restoring Purchases

You can restore a previously purchased Premium entitlement on any Apple-branded device that is signed in to the same Apple ID through the "Restore purchases" action in the App's paywall.

4.5 Loss of Premium Features upon Cancellation

Upon expiration or cancellation of your Premium subscription, features marked as Premium will become unavailable. Transcripts, audio, speaker labels, and user content that you created during the Premium period remain on your device and continue to be usable in the non-Premium parts of the App to the extent those parts support them. Some Premium-only capabilities (such as iCloud-based synchronization across devices) will stop functioning.

5.1 Ownership of Your Content

You retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the audio recordings, transcripts, summaries, annotations, tags, speaker labels, exported files, and any other content you create with the App (your "User Content"). This EULA does not grant the Licensor any ownership of your User Content. The Licensor does not collect, upload, or have access to your User Content. User Content that is synchronized through iCloud is stored in your personal iCloud account, not in any account or infrastructure operated by the Licensor.

5.2 Your Responsibility for Backups and Consent

You are solely responsible for:

1. maintaining appropriate backups of your User Content, including before uninstalling the App, before migrating between devices, and before resetting the App or your device;
2. ensuring that you have the legal right to record, transcribe, process, and retain any voice, speech, or content you capture with the App, including obtaining any consent required from third parties under applicable recording, privacy, data-protection, workplace, or wiretap laws; and
3. complying with applicable laws on data retention, professional secrecy, medical confidentiality, legal privilege, or comparable obligations.

The App is designed on a privacy-first, on-device basis. A separate Privacy Policy describing how the App and its supporting services process personal data will be published at getdikta.com/privacy and made available in the App before any telemetry, crash reporting, or analytics is activated. Where data is processed outside the App (for example, anonymous crash reports or Adapty subscription management), that processing is described in the Privacy Policy and is governed by it. To the extent there is any conflict between this EULA and the Privacy Policy on matters of personal-data processing, the Privacy Policy prevails.

The App, including its code, user interface, design, typography, iconography, audio, documentation, trained models, and associated assets, is protected by copyright, trademark, design, and other intellectual-property laws of Germany, the European Union, and other jurisdictions. Dikta and the Dikta logo are trademarks of the Licensor. The App includes third-party open-source components (including, without limitation, WhisperKit, the Sentry SDK, TelemetryDeck, the Adapty SDK, and Swift open-source libraries), which are licensed under their respective licenses; a full list of such components and their licenses is available from within the App or from the Licensor upon request. Nothing in this EULA grants you any right in any trademark, service mark, logo, or trade name of the Licensor or of any third party.

The App relies on third-party services, including but not limited to Apple's App Store, iCloud, CloudKit, StoreKit, and Push Notifications; Adapty's paywall and entitlement management; and — on an opt-in basis — anonymized crash reporting via Sentry and product analytics via TelemetryDeck. Your use of such services is subject to the terms and privacy policies of the respective providers. The Licensor is not responsible for any act, omission, outage, or change of any third-party service, nor for any damages resulting from your use of such services.

The Licensor is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the App. The Licensor provides commercially reasonable best-effort support by e-mail at [email protected]. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services in relation to the App.

10.1 Conformity of the App (§§ 327 ff. BGB)

Where you use the App as a consumer within the meaning of § 13 BGB, the Licensor is liable under the statutory rules on contracts for the supply of digital products (§§ 327 ff. BGB) for the conformity of the App with the contract at the time of supply and, for paid subscriptions, for the duration during which the App is to be supplied. Nothing in this EULA (and in particular nothing in Sections 11 and 12 below) limits, excludes, or modifies your rights under those statutory provisions, to the extent those rights are mandatory.

10.2 Right of Withdrawal for Digital Content

If you are a consumer domiciled in the European Union, the European Economic Area, or the United Kingdom, you are entitled under applicable law to withdraw from a subscription or purchase of digital content within fourteen (14) days of the conclusion of the contract, without giving reasons. Because subscriptions are concluded and charged through Apple, you must exercise this right through Apple in accordance with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and Apple's refund procedure (support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084). Where, when starting your subscription or free trial, you have expressly consented to the App's performance beginning before the withdrawal period expires and have acknowledged that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal upon the start of such performance, the right of withdrawal lapses pursuant to § 356 (5) BGB. This does not affect any more generous refund policy Apple may offer.

11.1 Consumer Warranty

Where you use the App as a consumer under applicable law, statutory warranty provisions apply and are not restricted by this EULA. In particular, any limitations below do not apply to the extent that they would conflict with §§ 327 ff. BGB or other mandatory consumer-protection law of your habitual residence.

11.2 Commercial Users — Maximum Disclaimer

Except as set out in Section 11.1, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", with all faults and without warranty of any kind. The Licensor expressly disclaims, for commercial users and to the extent permitted by law for all other users, all representations and warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, uninterrupted or error-free operation, accuracy, completeness, recoverability of data, compatibility with any specific hardware or operating system, and freedom from harmful components. The Licensor does not warrant that (a) the App will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free; (b) the transcripts produced by the App will be accurate or suitable for any specific use (including legal, medical, financial, broadcast, or safety-critical use); (c) defects in the App will be corrected; or (d) the App or the server(s), if any, that make it available are free of viruses or other harmful components.

11.3 Refund Mechanism for Non-Conformity

If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the App to you in accordance with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are the sole responsibility of the Licensor.

12.1 Unlimited Liability

The Licensor is liable without limitation

1. for damages caused intentionally or by gross negligence by the Licensor, its legal representatives, or its vicarious agents;
2. for damages arising from injury to life, body, or health caused by the Licensor, its legal representatives, or its vicarious agents;
3. under the German Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz);
4. in case of fraudulent concealment of a defect; and
5. to the extent the Licensor has assumed a guarantee.

12.2 Liability for Ordinary Negligence

In cases of simple (ordinary) negligence, the Licensor is liable only for the breach of a material contractual obligation ("Kardinalpflicht"), i.e. an obligation the fulfilment of which is essential to the proper performance of this EULA, on which you may reasonably rely, and whose breach would jeopardize the achievement of the purpose of the contract. In such cases, liability is limited to the damage foreseeable and typical for contracts of this kind at the time the contract was concluded.

12.3 Exclusion for All Other Cases

Any further liability of the Licensor is excluded to the maximum extent permitted by law. This exclusion applies in particular, and without limitation, to loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of goodwill, loss of business opportunity, loss of data, loss of use, work stoppage, inaccurate or unusable transcripts, or failure of backup or synchronization, in each case irrespective of the legal basis (contract, tort, product liability other than under Section 12.1(c), or otherwise), unless such liability cannot lawfully be excluded under mandatory applicable law.

12.4 Liability Cap

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and without prejudice to Sections 12.1 and 12.2, the Licensor's total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or in connection with this EULA or the App is limited to the greater of (a) the fees you have actually paid to Apple for the App during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) fifty euros (EUR 50).

12.5 Personal Liability of Representatives

The above limitations and exclusions of liability apply equally to the personal liability of the Licensor's representatives, employees, contractors, and vicarious agents.

To the extent permitted by mandatory applicable law, you will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Licensor, its representatives, and Apple (as third-party beneficiary under Section 20) from and against any and all third-party claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your breach of this EULA; (b) your use of the App in violation of applicable law or third-party rights, including any recording, privacy, data-protection, confidentiality, or intellectual-property rights of any person whose voice or content you capture; or (c) your User Content.

The Licensor may, at its sole discretion and at any time, release updates, patches, new versions, or new features of the App; change, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any feature of the App (including Premium features, subject to your statutory rights); or withdraw the App from any territory or from the App Store altogether. Where such a change materially impairs the paid functionality of a subscription you already hold, you have the statutory rights provided by §§ 327f, 327r BGB and other applicable law.

This EULA takes effect when you first install or use the App and remains in force until terminated. You may terminate this EULA at any time by uninstalling the App and, if applicable, cancelling your subscription through Apple. The Licensor may terminate this EULA with immediate effect if you materially breach it — in particular, if you violate Section 3 — without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to the Licensor. Termination of this EULA does not entitle you to any refund from the Licensor. Sections 3, 5, 7, 9 through 13, 16, 17, 20, and 22 through 27 survive termination.

You represent and warrant that (a) you are not located in any country that is subject to a U.S. government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a "terrorist-supporting" country; and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You further agree not to use or export the App in violation of applicable U.S., EU, UK, or German export-control laws and regulations.

The App is not directed at children under the age of sixteen (16). If you are under the age required to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction, you may use the App only with the prior consent of your legal guardian, who accepts this EULA on your behalf.

The Licensor may update this EULA from time to time to reflect changes to the App, to legal or regulatory requirements, or to the Licensor's business. Material changes will be communicated to you in an appropriate form — for example, an in-App notice or an entry in the release notes — before the change takes effect. The updated EULA is binding on you from the date stated at the top of the revised EULA, unless otherwise required by mandatory law. If you do not accept the revised EULA, your sole remedy is to stop using the App and cancel any subscription.

You may not assign or transfer this EULA, or any rights or obligations under it, without the Licensor's prior written consent. The Licensor may assign this EULA to any successor in interest in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, provided that your rights under this EULA are not reduced as a result.

The following provisions apply in addition to the rest of this EULA, and prevail over any conflicting term, solely in relation to the App as acquired from Apple's App Store. Capitalized terms used in this Section 20 and not otherwise defined have the meaning given in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

1. Acknowledgement. You and the Licensor acknowledge that this EULA is concluded between you and the Licensor only, and not with Apple, and that the Licensor (not Apple) is solely responsible for the App and the content thereof. This EULA may not provide for usage rules for the App that are in conflict with, or more permissive than, the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions as of the effective date of this EULA.
2. Scope of Licence. The licence granted to you for the App is limited to a non-transferable licence to use the App on any Apple-branded Products that you own or control and as permitted by the Usage Rules, except that the App may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
3. Maintenance and Support. The Licensor is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services with respect to the App, as specified in this EULA or as required under applicable law. You and the Licensor acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the App.
4. Warranty. The Licensor is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App to you (if any); and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the Licensor's sole responsibility.
5. Product Claims. You and the Licensor acknowledge that the Licensor, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the App or your possession and/or use of the App, including but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer-protection, privacy, or similar legislation, including in connection with the App's use of the HealthKit and HomeKit frameworks (to the extent applicable).
6. Intellectual Property Rights. You and the Licensor acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual-property rights, the Licensor, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual-property-infringement claim.
7. Legal Compliance. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a "terrorist-supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
8. Developer Name and Address. Licensor contact information for any end-user questions, complaints, or claims in relation to the App is set out in Section 27 of this EULA.
9. Third-Party Terms of Agreement. You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App (for example, the terms of your wireless data-services agreement).
10. Third-Party Beneficiary. You and the Licensor acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of this EULA, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this EULA, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this EULA against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

This EULA is governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). Where you are a consumer with habitual residence in another country of the European Union or the European Economic Area, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence (Art. 6 (2) Rome I Regulation).

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising out of or in connection with this EULA is Meerbusch, Germany, or, at the Licensor's option, the Licensor's then-current place of business. The Licensor may, however, also bring proceedings against a consumer at the consumer's place of residence. Where you are a consumer, any mandatory statutory rules on jurisdiction — in particular Art. 18 of the Brussels I-bis Regulation (Regulation (EU) No. 1215/2012) — remain unaffected.

The European Commission provides a platform for out-of-court online dispute resolution at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr (the ODR Platform). The Licensor's contact e-mail for the ODR Platform is [email protected]. The Licensor is not obliged and not willing to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board pursuant to § 36 of the German Act on Alternative Dispute Resolution in Consumer Matters (Verbraucherstreitbeilegungsgesetz — VSBG).

If any provision of this EULA is held to be invalid, unenforceable, or contrary to mandatory applicable law, that provision will be deemed modified only to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. In particular, where this EULA purports to limit or exclude rights that a consumer has under mandatory law, those rights will continue to apply.

A failure or delay by the Licensor in exercising any right or remedy under this EULA does not constitute a waiver of that right or remedy, nor does any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of that right or remedy.

This EULA, together with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, the Licensor's Privacy Policy (once published), and any separate written agreement you may have entered into with the Licensor, constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Licensor with respect to the App and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings, proposals, or representations, written or oral, relating to the subject matter of this EULA. The App Store's own end-user agreement does not apply to the App for the subject matter covered by this EULA, except to the extent required by Apple.

This EULA is provided in English. Where a translation is made available for convenience, the English version prevails in case of any discrepancy, unless mandatory applicable law in your country requires otherwise.
