You acknowledge that:

  • speech recognition and summarisation are probabilistic and may not be complete or correct

Our collection and handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy available at:

https://gushistudio.com/apps/seda/privacy

  • subscriptions may renew automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date

We may change pricing or introduce new fees in the future, subject to applicable law and platform requirements.

If we offer a free trial, it may automatically convert into a paid subscription unless cancelled before the trial ends, subject to the terms displayed at sign-up and the relevant app platform rules.

11. Intellectual property

We own or licence all rights in Seda, including the app, software, branding, design, text, graphics, interfaces, documentation, and underlying technology, excluding your User Content.

14. Third-party services

Seda may integrate with or rely on third-party services, tools, models, storage providers, payment processors, AI providers, or app platforms.

We are not responsible for third-party services, and your use of them may also be subject to their terms and policies.

15. Data storage and backups

Unless we expressly state otherwise, you are responsible for maintaining your own backups of important User Content and exports.

Where local storage is used, deleting the app, changing devices, or device failure may result in data loss.

Where sync or cloud storage is offered, we still recommend keeping independent backups of important content.

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to Seda if:

  • you breach these Terms

On termination, provisions that by nature should survive termination will continue, including provisions relating to intellectual property, liability, indemnity, dispute resolution, and general legal terms.
