1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Mindember mobile application and its backend services (together, the "Service"), operated by Andrei Darashkou ("we", "us", "our"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

These Terms work together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your personal data.

2. The Service

Mindember is a personal voice-note application. You record a voice note; the audio is transcribed and organised into a structured note using automated speech-to-text and large-language-model processing, and the resulting note is stored in your account. The Service also lets you browse, search, edit, categorise, set reminders for, export, and delete your notes.

We may add, change, or remove features at any time. We may also set, change, or enforce limits on use of the Service (for example, a monthly voice-minute quota), and we will make reasonable efforts to communicate material changes.

3. Eligibility and Accounts

• You must be at least 16 years old, or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, to use the Service. The Service is not directed at children under 13.
• You sign in using Sign in with Apple or Google Sign-In. You are responsible for maintaining the security of the account you sign in with and for all activity under your Mindember account.
• You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date.

4. Your Content

• You own your content. The voice notes you record and the text generated from them ("Your Content") belong to you. We do not claim ownership of Your Content.
• You grant us a limited licence to store, process, and transmit Your Content solely to operate the Service for you — for example, sending audio to our transcription processor and storing the resulting note in your account. We do not use Your Content to train models, and we do not sell it. See the Privacy Policy for details.
• You are solely responsible for Your Content and for ensuring you have the right to record and process it (for example, the right to record any other person's voice).

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
• Upload content that infringes the intellectual-property or privacy rights of others, or that is unlawful, harmful, or abusive;
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service, other users' accounts, or our infrastructure;
• Interfere with, disrupt, overload, or probe the Service or its underlying systems (including the transcription and language-model pipeline);
• Reverse engineer, resell, or commercially exploit the Service except as expressly permitted;
• Use automated means to access the Service in a way that degrades it for others or circumvents usage limits.

We may suspend or terminate access that violates these rules.

6. Automated Processing and Third-Party Services

The Service relies on automated transcription and large-language-model classification provided by OpenAI, L.L.C. as a data processor. Because these outputs are generated automatically:

• Transcriptions and AI-generated titles, summaries, categories, and extracted reminders may be inaccurate or incomplete. You are responsible for reviewing notes for important matters and should not rely on the Service as the sole record of critical information.
• Your use of the Service is also subject to the terms and policies of the providers you sign in with (Apple, Google) and of OpenAI. Links to OpenAI's policies are in our Privacy Policy.

7. Plans and Quotas

The Service may offer a free tier with usage limits (such as a monthly voice-minute allowance) and may offer paid tiers in the future. We may change quotas and pricing prospectively. If paid features are introduced, any applicable fees, billing, and refund terms will be presented to you before purchase.

8. Availability; "As Is"

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. The Service runs on third-party cloud infrastructure and may experience downtime, data loss, or interruptions. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any note, transcript, or reminder will be accurate, delivered, or preserved.

We strongly recommend exporting any notes you wish to keep (Settings → export).

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, notes, reminders, or profits, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (including, where applicable, mandatory consumer-protection rights under EU and Polish law).

10. Termination

• You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time via Settings → Delete Account, which permanently and irreversibly deletes your account and all associated data.
• We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. Where reasonable, we will make efforts to notify you.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination (for example, ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law) will survive.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this document. Your continued use of the Service after the updated date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Poland and applicable European Union law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of the competent courts of Poland, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer-protection rights you may have in your country of residence within the EU.
