Terms & Conditions

1. Introduction and acceptance of terms

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") are an agreement between you and AbleSpace ("we", "us", "our") for your use of AbleSpace Scribe ("Scribe"), including its Android, iOS and web apps and this website.

By creating an account or using Scribe, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your information. If you don't agree, please don't use Scribe.

If you use Scribe on behalf of an organization, such as a school or company, you confirm that you're allowed to accept these Terms for it.

2. Description of AbleSpace Scribe

Scribe is a productivity tool for recording sessions, such as classes, lectures, meetings and study groups, and turning them into notes. With Scribe you can:

• record audio on your device;
• get an AI-generated transcript of a recording, with timestamps and speaker labels;
• ask questions about a session with Ask AI, for example to get notes or a summary;
• add words and languages so transcripts are more accurate; and
• keep your sessions in sync across devices where you're signed in.

Scribe uses Google's Gemini AI models for transcription and Ask AI, as described in the Privacy Policy. Scribe is free to use and has no subscriptions or purchases. To keep the service available for everyone, we apply daily usage limits that are set well above normal use.

3. Account registration and eligibility

You need an account to use Scribe. You can sign up with an email address and password, with Google, or with Apple. If you sign up with email, you'll need to verify your email address before using Scribe's cloud features.

You must be at least 18 years old, or the minimum age required where you live if higher, and able to form a binding contract. Give us accurate information when you create your account, and keep it up to date.

4. Account security and responsibilities

• Keep your sign-in details secure and don't share your account.
• You're responsible for activity in your account. Tell us promptly if you think someone else has accessed it.
• Protect your device with a screen lock: your sessions are also stored on your device, and signing out doesn't remove them from it.

5. Acceptable use

Use Scribe only for lawful purposes and in line with these Terms. You're responsible for your recordings, session titles, words and questions, and for how you use transcripts and AI answers. When you use Scribe at school or work, follow your organization's policies on recording, confidentiality and the use of AI tools.

6. Audio recording and consent

You're responsible for having permission to record. Before you record anyone, you must:

• tell everyone present that you're recording and get their consent, as the law where you and they are requires (some places require everyone's consent);
• get any permission required from your school, employer, organization or venue; and
• for anyone under 18 or otherwise unable to consent, get consent from a parent, guardian or other person authorized to give it, as the law requires.

Scribe asks you to confirm that everyone has agreed before each recording. That confirmation is your statement to us; we can't check it. Don't record conversations you aren't allowed to record, and stop recording if someone withdraws their consent.

Recordings and transcripts may contain other people's personal information. Treat it with care, use it only for the purpose it was shared for, and delete it when it's no longer needed.

7. AI-generated transcriptions and accuracy

Transcripts, speaker labels, summaries, notes and Ask AI answers are generated by AI. They can be incomplete or wrong: words may be misheard, speakers mislabeled, and answers may include errors or statements that weren't said.

• Review AI output against the recording before you rely on it, share it or use it to make decisions.
• Scribe is a productivity and transcription tool, not a replacement for professional judgment. Don't rely on it alone for medical, clinical, therapeutic, educational, legal, financial or other professional decisions.
• You're responsible for the records you create from Scribe's output.

8. User content and ownership

"Your content" means your recordings, transcripts, session titles, vocabulary, questions and AI answers. You keep any rights you have in your content.

You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, process and transmit your content only as needed to provide Scribe to you, including sending it to our service providers such as Google Gemini, as described in the Privacy Policy. This license ends when your content is deleted, except as described in the Privacy Policy's retention section. We don't use your content to train AI models, and we don't sell it.

You confirm that you have the rights and permissions needed for your content, including consent from the people you record.

9. Prohibited activities

You must not:

• record people without the consent the law requires, or record where recording is prohibited;
• use Scribe to harass, spy on, or harm anyone, or to violate anyone's privacy or other rights;
• upload content that is illegal, or that you don't have the right to use;
• try to get around usage limits, security features or app integrity checks, or access other users' data;
• reverse engineer, interfere with or overload Scribe or its servers, or use automated means to access it beyond normal use;
• use Scribe's AI features to generate unlawful, harmful or deceptive content; or
• resell, rent or provide Scribe to others as a service without our written permission.

10. Data and account management

• You can delete your account at any time in the app (profile picture → Account → Delete account). This deletes your account and your sessions, recordings, transcripts and Ask AI conversations from our cloud, and from the device you delete it on. It can't be undone.
• If you can't use the app, you can ask us to delete your account by email (see the Privacy Policy).
• Signing out doesn't delete anything.
• Scribe isn't a backup service. Keep your own copies of anything important, for example by exporting notes.

How we collect, use and keep your information is described in the Privacy Policy.

11. Service availability

We work to keep Scribe available and reliable, but we don't guarantee that it will always be available, uninterrupted or error-free. Transcription and Ask AI depend on internet access and on third-party services. We may limit, change or stop features, apply usage limits to prevent abuse, or carry out maintenance. If we decide to discontinue Scribe, we'll try to give you reasonable notice so you can export your content.

12. Third-party services

Scribe relies on third-party services, including Google Firebase and Google Cloud (including Gemini), Google Sign-In, Sign in with Apple, and Apple's and Google's app stores and notification services. Your use of those services may also be subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We aren't responsible for third-party services we don't control.

13. Intellectual property

Scribe, including its software, design, text, logos and the AbleSpace and AbleSpace Scribe names, belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by law. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Scribe apps for their intended purpose under these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without any obligation to you.

14. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, AbleSpace shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the use of AbleSpace Scribe.

AbleSpace Scribe is currently provided free of charge. Any applicable liability limitations will be updated if paid features or subscriptions are introduced, subject to applicable law.

15. Disclaimer of warranties

Scribe is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We don't warrant that transcripts, speaker labels or AI answers will be accurate or complete. Your rights under consumer protection laws that can't be excluded are not affected.

16. Termination and suspension

You can stop using Scribe and delete your account at any time.

We may suspend or close your account, or limit your use of Scribe, if you break these Terms, if your use creates risk or legal exposure for us or others, if we're required to by law, or to prevent abuse. Where reasonable, we'll tell you why and give you a chance to export your content.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including user content, intellectual property, limitation of liability, disclaimers and governing law, will survive.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as Scribe changes or as the law requires. We'll change the "Last updated" date at the top, and if the changes are significant, we'll let you know in the app or by email before they take effect. If you keep using Scribe after changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms.

18. Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Before starting a formal dispute, please contact us so we can try to resolve it informally. Any dispute that can't be resolved informally will be handled by the courts of New Delhi, India, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts.
