Terms

These Terms are an agreement between you and KARMA DIGITAL S.A.S. ("Karma Digital", "we", "us", "our"), a company organized under the laws of Uruguay. They cover your use of LocalScribe, the macOS app, and localscribe.org, the marketing site. By installing the app or buying a license you agree to them.

The license

For $49, Karma Digital grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and run LocalScribe on Macs you own or primarily use. The license includes every 1.x update. A future major version (2.0 and onward) is not included; existing license holders will get an upgrade offer when one ships.

You may not:

• resell, sublicense, or redistribute LocalScribe;
• modify, reverse engineer, or decompile it, except to the extent the law allows;
• remove copyright or attribution notices from the bundle.

What LocalScribe is and is not

LocalScribe transcribes audio files that are already on your Mac. It does not record. Transcription is automated and imperfect: accuracy varies with audio quality, language, and speaker overlap. Review transcripts before relying on them; we do not warrant their accuracy.

Payments and refunds

Paddle.com Market Limited is the merchant of record for every purchase. Payments, taxes, invoicing, and refunds are processed by Paddle. Their terms apply to the transaction in addition to ours and are at paddle.com/legal/checkout-buyer-terms.

See the refund policy.

Updates and continuity

LocalScribe auto-updates through Sparkle. We aim to ship security and stability fixes promptly. We do not guarantee a minimum cadence or a minimum support lifespan beyond the 1.x major version.

If we ever discontinue LocalScribe, the app you already installed keeps running. Activation requires our license server, so we will release a final build that bypasses activation if we shut the server down.

Warranty disclaimer

LocalScribe is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that LocalScribe will be uninterrupted, error-free, or accurate in its transcription output.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Karma Digital is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of LocalScribe. Our total liability under these terms is capped at the amount you paid for the license in the twelve months before the claim.

Termination

Your license terminates if you breach these terms. You may stop using LocalScribe at any time. Termination does not entitle you to a refund outside the 30-day window.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Uruguay. Any dispute arising out of them is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Montevideo, Uruguay, without prejudice to mandatory consumer-protection rights you hold in your country of residence.

Changes

If we update these terms we will post the new version with an updated date. Continued use of LocalScribe after a change means you accept the new terms.
