Terms of use

Version of [date]

Waxrose (the "App") is software by Klaus Lanzarini, [address], Italy, VAT number (P.IVA) [VAT number] (the "Author"). By downloading, installing or using the App you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the App.

1. Licence

The Author grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the App on Macs you own or control, for personal or professional purposes, under the terms below.

You may not sell, rent or redistribute the App, distribute modified versions of it, or circumvent the free version's limit or the licensing system.

Nothing in these terms limits the rights you have under mandatory law, including the right to observe, study and test how the program works (Art. 64-ter of Italian Law 633/1941, implementing Directive 2009/24/EC).

2. Free version

Without the unlock, the App allows one transcription per day, counted by calendar day on your Mac. The other features described on the product page remain available within the limits stated there.

The free version is provided free of charge. The Author may change the free version's limit or features in future versions. This does not affect unlocks already purchased.

3. Unlock

The unlock is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It removes the daily transcription limit and includes [included updates].

  • Mac App Store: the unlock is an in-app purchase tied to your Apple ID. You can restore it on other Macs signed in with the same Apple ID using "Restore Purchases", under Apple's rules.
  • Website (downloadable version): the unlock is a personal licence sent to you by email after purchase. You may use it on up to [number of Macs] Macs that you own or control. You may not share it with other people or publish it. The licence is checked on your Mac, without contacting any server.

The two versions are separate purchases: an unlock bought on one channel does not work on the other.

The Author may deactivate a licence only if it was obtained by fraud, if the payment was reversed or refunded, or if the licence has been made public.

4. Who sells the unlock

The Author does not sell the unlock directly.

  • Mac App Store: the seller is Apple, under Apple's Media Services terms. Apple handles payment, invoices, refunds and withdrawal.
  • Website: the seller is Paddle.com Market Limited, the Author's authorised reseller and merchant of record, under Paddle's Buyer Terms and our Terms of sale and refunds. Paddle handles payment, invoice, taxes, refunds and withdrawal.

In all cases, your use of the App is governed by these terms.

5. Right of withdrawal

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you have the right to withdraw from the purchase within 14 days.

Because the unlock is digital content supplied immediately, at checkout you will be asked to:

  • expressly agree to immediate supply;
  • acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once the unlock is activated.

You will receive confirmation of this on a durable medium, such as the order confirmation email.

The seller's refund policies still apply: Apple's for the Mac App Store; Paddle's and our Terms of sale and refunds for the website.

6. Statutory guarantee

If you bought the unlock as a consumer, you are entitled to the statutory guarantee of conformity under the consumer law of your country. In Italy this is the Consumer Code, Art. 135-octies and following, implementing Directive (EU) 2019/770. Nothing in these terms limits or excludes it.

If the unlocked App does not work as described, write to the Author at [email] for support. You may also contact the seller (Apple or Paddle) for the remedies provided by law.

7. Third-party components

The App includes or downloads third-party components (software and machine-learning models) distributed under their own licences, listed in the "Acknowledgements" section of the App and the website. Those licences prevail for those components.

No restriction in these terms applies to models distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence, which you may use under that licence.

8. Files from other manufacturers and third-party services

The App processes the audio files you choose, including files exported from recorders and apps made by other manufacturers. The Author is not affiliated with these manufacturers. Compatibility with their formats is not guaranteed and may change if their products change.

The App can use third-party services that you enable: Apple Intelligence on your Mac and, if you choose, OpenAI. If you choose OpenAI for summaries, the transcript text is sent to OpenAI with your API key, under your agreement with OpenAI, and any costs are yours. The Author does not control these services.

9. Use of results

Transcripts and summaries are generated automatically and may contain errors, omissions or wrong speaker attribution. Review them before using them, especially for important decisions or in medical, legal, financial or employment matters. The App does not make decisions for you.

If you record other people, you are responsible for complying with the applicable laws, including data protection and laws on recording conversations.

10. No further warranties

Subject to section 6 for consumers who bought the unlock, and to the extent permitted by law, the App is provided "as is". The Author gives no warranties beyond those required by law, in particular as to the accuracy of transcripts and summaries or fitness for a particular purpose. The free version, used free of charge, is provided without warranties.

11. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, the Author is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, for loss of data or recordings, or for costs owed to third-party providers.

This limitation does not apply to wilful misconduct or gross negligence, to personal injury, to product liability, or to consumers' mandatory rights.

12. Term

This licence lasts as long as you use the App. It ends automatically if you seriously breach these terms, for example by circumventing the licensing system or redistributing the App; in that case you must delete it. Sections 6, 7, 11 and 14 survive termination.

13. Changes

New versions of the App may come with updated terms, which apply to those versions. Changes never remove an unlock you have already purchased.

14. Governing law and jurisdiction

These terms are governed by Italian law. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence and may bring proceedings before the courts of your place of residence or domicile. Otherwise, the courts of [author's city], Italy, have jurisdiction.
