1. Agreement & parties
These Terms form a binding agreement between you and Mariia Rybina (“we”, “us”, “our”), the independent developer of the Ultratype app and website (the “Service”). By installing or using Ultratype, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.
Google LLC is not a party to these Terms. Acquiring and using the app through Google Play is also subject to Google Play’s own Terms of Service.
2. Definitions
- App / Service — the Ultratype Android application and ultratype.app.
- Free — the no-cost tier with the core voice-typing features.
- Pro — the paid, auto-renewing subscription with additional features.
- You — the individual using the Service.
3. Your licence
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable licence to install and use the App on Android devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use, in line with these Terms and Google Play’s terms. The App is licensed, not sold. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
4. Acceptable use
Please use Ultratype responsibly. You agree not to: reverse-engineer, decompile or modify the App except as the law allows; redistribute or resell it; circumvent paywalls or usage limits; abuse the transcription service with automated or bulk requests; or use it for unlawful, harmful or high-risk purposes.
Recording consent is your responsibility. You are solely responsible for obtaining any consent required by applicable law before recording audio, and for the lawfulness of the content you record and transcribe.
5. Free, Pro & eligibility
The core voice-typing experience is available for free; a subscription is not required to use Ultratype. Pro unlocks additional features described in the app and on our website at the time of purchase.
You must be at least the age of digital consent in your country (16 in much of the EU, 13 in the US) to use the App, and 18 — or have a parent or guardian’s consent — to purchase Pro.
6. Subscriptions, billing & auto-renewal
Ultratype Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. It automatically renews at the then-current price for the billing period you chose (monthly or annually), and your Google Play payment method is charged at the start of each renewal period, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. The price and billing period are shown on the purchase screen, in your local currency, before you confirm.
All payments are processed by Google through Google Play Billing and are subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. We do not collect or store your payment-card details.
7. Cancelling
You can cancel at any time through Google Play (Play Store → your profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions, or the in-app subscription link). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period; you keep Pro until then. Cancelling does not retroactively refund the current period.
8. Refunds
Within 48 hours of purchase, you can request a refund directly through Google Play under Google’s refund policy. After 48 hours, refunds are at our discretion except where the law requires otherwise — contact info@ultratype.app. As subscriptions are billed in advance for a digital service delivered continuously, we generally do not refund partial unused periods, except where mandatory consumer law requires it.
9. EU/EEA/UK consumer rights
If you are an EU/EEA or UK consumer, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal for subscriptions. By starting your subscription and asking for immediate access, you expressly consent to immediate performance and acknowledge that you lose the right of withdrawal once the service has begun — except where the service is defective or not as described. Nothing here removes mandatory consumer protections you have under the law of your country.
10. Price changes
If we change the subscription price, Google Play will notify you in advance and, where required, ask you to confirm the new price before it takes effect. Otherwise your subscription continues at the new price or is cancelled in line with Google Play’s rules.
11. Third-party AI processing
To transcribe audio, recordings are transmitted over an encrypted connection to our backend and to a third-party cloud AI speech-processing provider acting on our behalf. Audio and transcripts are processed transiently and are not stored on our servers; your transcription history is stored only on your device. The specific provider is identified in our Privacy Policy.
12. Privacy
Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains our zero-storage backend, on-device history, and the absence of accounts, ads and analytics.
13. Intellectual property & your content
We own the App and everything in it except your content. You own the words you dictate and the transcripts inserted into your apps. We claim no rights over them.
14. Disclaimer of warranties
THE APP AND SERVICE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT TRANSCRIPTION WILL BE ACCURATE, ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED. YOU SHOULD NOT RELY ON ANY OUTPUT WITHOUT INDEPENDENTLY CONFIRMING ITS ACCURACY.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you; your mandatory consumer rights are unaffected.
15. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR PRO IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR USD 50.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law — for example, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or under mandatory consumer-protection rules.
16. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising out of your misuse of the Service or your unlawful recording or use of content, to the extent permitted by law.
17. Termination
These Terms apply until terminated. Your licence ends automatically if you breach them. We may suspend or end access for violations or to comply with the law. On termination, stop using the App; the sections on intellectual property, disclaimers, liability and governing law survive. Termination does not entitle you to a refund except as required by law.
18. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms. For material changes we will give reasonable notice (in the app or on our website) before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms. Changes are not retroactive, and the “Last updated” date above always reflects the current version.
19. Governing law & disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the country in which the developer is established, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. If you are a consumer, you also benefit from the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and nothing here deprives you of protections that cannot be waived by agreement. EU consumers may also use the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform where applicable.
20. Google Play
Your use of the App is also subject to Google Play’s Terms of Service. We — not Google — are solely responsible for the App and its support; Google has no warranty or maintenance obligation in respect of the App.
