Terms of Service

1 Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding contract between you and Martti Randma, an individual developer based in Estonia ("we", "us"), and govern your use of the Auto Captions: AI Subtitles mobile application (the "App").

By installing, opening, or using the App, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2 Description of Service

The App helps you generate animated captions for short-form video. You select a video stored on your device; the App extracts its audio, transmits the audio to our transcription service, and renders captions back into a new video file on your device.

The App is provided as-is. We may update, change, or discontinue features at any time without notice.

3 Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 where required by local law) to use the App. By using the App you confirm that you meet this requirement.

If you use the App on behalf of a business, you confirm you have authority to bind that business to these Terms.

4 Licence to Use the App

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App for personal or commercial use, subject to these Terms and the rules of Apple's App Store or Google Play.

You may not (a) reverse-engineer the App, (b) extract or replicate its components, (c) circumvent in-app purchase mechanisms, or (d) sublicense or redistribute the App.

5 Subscriptions, Trials & Billing

5.1 Free tier

The App is free to download and offers limited functionality at no cost: a daily transcription quota and exports with a small watermark + ending credit.

5.2 Pro subscription

Unlocking unlimited exports, no watermark, all caption styles, multi-platform export, and longer videos requires a Pro subscription. Plans available at the time of writing:

• Weekly — €3.49 per week (with optional 3-day free trial for first-time subscribers)
• Monthly — €9.99 per month
• Annual — €29.99 per year

Prices may vary by region and may be adjusted with notice in the App.

5.3 Free trial

If a free trial is offered, your card / store account will not be charged during the trial period. The subscription auto-renews to the paid tier at the end of the trial unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Apple and Google send a billing reminder before the trial converts.

5.4 Auto-renewal

Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled in your Apple ID or Google Play account at least 24 hours before renewal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period — you keep Pro access until then.

5.5 How to cancel

• iOS: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → Auto Captions → Cancel
• Android: Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Auto Captions → Cancel

You can also tap "Subscription" in the App's Settings screen for direct links.

5.6 Refunds

All payments are processed by Apple or Google. We do not control refunds — refund requests must be made directly through Apple or Google:

• Apple: reportaproblem.apple.com
• Google: Google Play refunds

EU residents may have additional refund rights under consumer law (e.g., 14-day cooling-off period for digital content not yet downloaded).

5.7 Tax

Listed prices include any applicable VAT in EU regions. Apple and Google handle tax collection on our behalf.

6 Your Content & Ownership

You own your content. Videos you import remain yours. The captions generated, the styled overlay, and the rendered output video are also yours to use as you wish — including for commercial purposes.

We do not claim any rights in your content. We do not store your videos. Your audio is transmitted only for the duration of a single transcription request.

You are solely responsible for the lawfulness of the content you process — including ensuring you have the right to record, transcribe, and publish any voices or copyrighted material it contains.

7 Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the App to:

• Process content that infringes copyright, trademark, or privacy rights of others;
• Process content depicting child sexual abuse material (CSAM), incitement to violence, harassment, or other illegal material;
• Interfere with the App's functionality, attempt unauthorised access to our infrastructure, or run automated/scripted clients;
• Resell or redistribute access to Pro features (one subscription = one user / family-share);
• Use the App in any way that violates applicable laws.

We may suspend or terminate access if you breach this section.

8 Third-Party Services

The App relies on third-party services to function. By using the App you also accept the terms of these providers where they apply to you:

• ElevenLabs (transcription) — elevenlabs.io/terms
• RevenueCat (subscription management) — revenuecat.com/terms
• Apple App Store — Apple Media Services Terms
• Google Play Store — Google Play Terms of Service
• Cloudflare (API proxy infrastructure) — cloudflare.com/terms

9 Disclaimers & AI Output

The App and all generated output are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

We do not guarantee that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful components, or that defects will be corrected.

10 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Martti Randma be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or loss of goodwill — arising from or related to your use of the App, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total cumulative liability for any claim arising from or related to the App is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or (b) €50.

Some jurisdictions do not allow exclusion of certain warranties or limitations of liability. To the extent these limitations are unenforceable, our liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by applicable law.

11 Termination

You can stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. Your subscription remains active until cancelled through Apple or Google.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or if continued provision becomes impractical for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination (Content Ownership, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, Governing Law, Contact) survive.

12 Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms occasionally. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the latest revision. For material changes we will display an in-app notice. Continued use of the App after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

13 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Estonia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Any dispute will be resolved by the competent courts of Tallinn, Estonia, except that consumers in EU member states retain access to their local consumer protection courts under the EU Consumer Protection Cooperation framework.

EU residents may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
