Terms of Service

These terms apply when you download, install or use typeout, and when you buy a paid plan. If you do not agree with them, do not use the software.

typeout is a push-to-talk dictation app for Windows and macOS, made and operated by Invariance, an Italian sole trader (ditta individuale) based in Bolzano, Italy. Owner: Philipp Gurndin.

Address: Via Max Valier 20 int. 012, 39100 Bolzano (BZ), Italy. P.IVA IT 03269190215. Email: support@invariance.co.

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use typeout for your own personal or business purposes, for as long as these terms and your plan are in force.

You may not resell, sublicense, rent out or redistribute the software, and you may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it except to the extent mandatory law expressly allows. We keep all rights in the software that are not granted to you here.

Some features require an account. Give accurate details, keep them current, and keep your login credentials to yourself. You are responsible for what happens under your account. Business customers should give correct company and VAT details so invoicing is right.

There is a free tier with a weekly word allowance, and paid subscription tiers billed monthly or annually. Prices and allowances for the current plans are shown on our pricing page at the time you buy.

Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period until you cancel. You can cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for, and you keep access until then. We do not pro-rate part-used periods unless the law requires it.

All purchases of typeout are sold by Paddle.com Market Ltd, which acts as the merchant of record. Paddle — not Invariance — is the seller of record for your purchase and handles payment, VAT and other taxes, invoicing, and refunds.

This means Paddle’s own Buyer Terms also apply to the purchase transaction, alongside these terms which govern your use of the software. Billing and refund questions go to Paddle; you can also write to us at support@invariance.co and we will help you get there.

If you are a consumer in the EU, you normally have 14 days to withdraw from the contract without giving a reason.

For digital content and digital services supplied immediately, that right lapses once you expressly consent to performance starting before the withdrawal period ends and acknowledge that you thereby lose the right of withdrawal. Checkout asks for that consent. Withdrawal is handled through Paddle as merchant of record.

Do not use typeout unlawfully, do not use it to record or transcribe people where you have no right to do so, do not attempt to break, overload or circumvent the service or its usage limits, and do not use it to infringe anyone’s rights. We may suspend accounts that do.

Transcripts are stored locally on your own device. Audio is processed by third-party speech recognition providers so it can be transcribed, and is not retained by us. You are responsible for the content you dictate and for any confidentiality obligations attached to it.

We aim to keep typeout working and available, but we give no uptime guarantee. Parts of the service depend on third-party providers and on your own device and internet connection. We may change, update or discontinue features; where a change materially reduces what a paid plan does, we will tell you.

Speech recognition is not perfect. typeout is provided as it is, and you should check transcribed text before relying on it for anything that matters.

We are liable without limit for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and wherever Italian law does not permit liability to be limited — including mandatory consumer warranty rights and any liability under product liability law. Nothing here purports to exclude that. Beyond those cases, our liability for slight negligence is limited to foreseeable damage typical for this kind of contract, and we are not liable for lost profits or lost data where you could reasonably have kept a backup.

We may update these terms, for example when the product or the law changes. If a change materially affects you, we will give you reasonable notice by email or in the app before it takes effect. If you do not accept the new terms, you can cancel your subscription; continuing to use typeout after the change takes effect means you accept it.

Italian law applies, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

If you are a consumer, this does not take away the protection of mandatory law in your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings against us in the courts of the country where you live. The European Commission’s online dispute resolution platform is available at ec.europa.eu/odr.
