Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

By downloading, installing, or using aira (“the App”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

2. Description of Service

aira is an intelligent note-taking application for iPhone that records, transcribes, and summarizes meetings using on-device AI. The App is designed to process all data locally on your device.

2.1 On-Device Architecture

aira is built as a local-first application. All core features — including recording, transcription, speaker diarization, summarization, and semantic search — run entirely on your iPhone using on-device AI models. No audio, transcripts, or notes are sent to external servers for core functionality.

2.2 Optional Cloud Features

Future versions of aira may offer optional cloud-powered features such as cross-device sync, cloud backup, or team sharing. These features will require an account and an internet connection. You will always be able to use aira’s core features without any cloud dependency.

3. Your Content

3.1 Ownership

You retain full ownership of all content you create, record, or store using aira (“Your Content”). This includes notes, meeting recordings, transcripts, summaries, and any other data generated through your use of the App.

3.2 No Access by Us

Because aira processes data on your device, we do not have access to Your Content. We cannot view, read, listen to, or analyze your notes, recordings, or transcripts. Your Content stays on your device unless you explicitly choose to use a future cloud feature that requires data transfer.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the App for any illegal purpose or in violation of any applicable law
• Record conversations without obtaining proper consent from all participants as required by applicable laws
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App or its AI models
• Attempt to extract, copy, or redistribute the AI models bundled with the App
• Use the App in any way that could damage, disable, or impair its functionality

5. Recording Consent

You are solely responsible for complying with all applicable laws regarding the recording of conversations, including obtaining consent from all participants where required. Recording laws vary by jurisdiction — some require all-party consent, others require only one-party consent. It is your responsibility to understand and comply with the laws that apply to your situation.

6. Intellectual Property

The App, including its design, code, AI models, and documentation, is owned by us and protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks, logos, or brand elements.

7. Payment Terms

aira’s core features are free. Premium features may require payment through the Apple App Store. All purchases are subject to Apple’s terms and refund policies. Subscription pricing and terms will be clearly displayed before purchase.

8. Privacy

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains what limited information we collect and how we use it. Because aira is designed as a local-first application, our data collection is minimal.

9. Disclaimers

THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that transcriptions, summaries, or speaker diarization will be completely accurate. AI-generated content should be reviewed for accuracy, especially for critical decisions or legal matters. aira is a productivity tool, not a certified transcription service.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION.

Because your data is stored locally on your device, you are responsible for backing up your data. We are not liable for data loss resulting from device damage, loss, theft, or software issues.

11. Termination

You may stop using aira at any time by deleting the App from your device. Deleting the App removes all locally stored data. We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the App at any time.

12. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes through the App or by updating the “Last updated” date on this page. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
