1. Who this agreement is with
These terms are between you and Corkkam of India (“we”, “us”), the operator of Whisper Master. If you are using the app on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to accept these terms for it.
2. Your licence
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use Whisper Master on Macs you own or control, for as long as you comply with these terms. You may use it for commercial work.
You may not:
- Redistribute, resell, or sublicense the app.
- Reverse-engineer it, except where that right cannot lawfully be restricted in your jurisdiction.
- Remove or obscure any notice contained in it.
- Use it to record anyone without whatever consent the law where you are requires. Consent to recording is your responsibility, not ours — see section 5.
We keep all intellectual property in the app. You keep everything you dictate: we obtain no rights whatsoever in your speech or the text produced from it, and could claim none, because we never receive it.
3. Accounts
Using the app requires an account. Keep your credentials to yourself; you are responsible for what happens under your account. You may close it at any time by writing to us, and we will delete your data as described in the Privacy Policy. We may suspend an account that is being used to break these terms or the law, and we will tell you why unless the law forbids it.
4. The beta period
Whisper Master is currently free to use while in beta. Free during beta means exactly that — we are not going to charge you retroactively for the period in which you helped us test it.
We intend to introduce paid plans; the intended prices are published on our pricing page. When paid plans begin, we will give existing users at least 30 days’ notice by email, and any plan or discount we have specifically promised you — including rewards earned through the referral programme — will be honoured on the terms it was offered under. During beta the software may change, break, or lose features at short notice; that is what beta means.
5. How you use it matters
This app types text into other applications on your behalf, using macOS Accessibility permissions. You are responsible for what it types and where. Check important text before you send it — dictation makes mistakes, and some of those mistakes will be confident and plausible ones.
Recording law varies. Some jurisdictions require every participant in a conversation to consent before it is recorded or transcribed. Complying with the law that applies to you is your obligation.
Do not rely on Whisper Master alone where a transcription error could cause serious harm — medical, legal, financial or safety-critical contexts. Review the output.
6. Accuracy claims
We publish measured accuracy figures, including the conditions where we perform poorly. Those figures describe our test corpus under stated conditions. They are an honest measurement, not a guarantee about your voice, your accent, your microphone or your room.
7. Third-party services
The app depends on services listed in the Privacy Policy for sign-in, model downloads and updates. Their availability is not within our control, and outages affecting sign-in may prevent access. Once models are installed, dictation itself works offline.
8. Warranties and liability
The app is provided “as is”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we exclude implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted or error-free.
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, or lost data, and our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or US $50.
Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited. If you are a consumer, you keep every statutory right your local law gives you, and nothing here overrides it.
9. Ending it
You may stop using the app and delete it at any time. We may end this licence if you materially breach these terms and do not fix the breach within 30 days of us asking. Sections 2, 8 and 10 survive termination.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of the courts of Bengaluru, Karnataka, India have exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence, or of the right to bring proceedings there.
11. Changes
We may update these terms. If a change materially affects your rights we will notify account holders by email at least 30 days beforehand, and continuing to use the app after that means you accept the change. If you do not, stop using the app and close your account.
