Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-08-25

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Or Git, a sole proprietor registered in Israel as an עוסק פטור and operating the Tape service ("Tape," "we," "us," "our"). They govern your use of the Tape apps, website, and related services (together, the "Service"). By downloading, signing in to, or using Tape, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

1. What Tape is

Tape captures conversations and transcribes them on your device, in Hebrew or English. Your audio and transcripts stay on your device. Paid cloud features (such as summaries) send your transcript text to be processed, as described in the Privacy Policy.

Beta. Parts of the Service are pre-release. Beta features are provided "as is," may change or be removed, may contain bugs, and come with no service-level commitment. Don't rely on a beta feature for anything critical.

2. Who can use Tape

You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country, if higher) and able to form a binding contract. If you use Tape on behalf of an organization, you represent that you're authorized to bind that organization to these Terms.

3. Your account

You sign in with Google or Apple. You're responsible for keeping access to your sign-in method secure and for activity under your account. Tell us promptly at or@usetape.app if you suspect unauthorized use. We never receive your Google or Apple password (see the Privacy Policy).

4. Recording, consent, and your responsibilities

This section matters — read it. Tape is a tool you control: you decide when to capture a conversation. You are solely responsible for using Tape lawfully.

Laws differ by place. Some countries, U.S. states, and regions require that all parties consent before a conversation is recorded or transcribed; others require only one party. You are responsible for knowing and following the recording, wiretapping, eavesdropping, and privacy laws that apply to you and to everyone in the conversation.
Get consent. Where consent is required, you must obtain it from the other participants before capturing, and you must tell people they're being captured when the law requires it.
Capture only what you're entitled to. Don't use Tape to capture conversations you have no right to capture, to record people without a lawful basis, or in places or situations where capture is prohibited.
You are a participant. You confirm that you are a party to every conversation you capture with Tape, or that you have the lawful authority of a party to capture it.
You control your captures. Because your audio, transcripts, and notes live on your device, you decide what to keep, delete, share, or send for a cloud summary.

Any on-screen indicator Tape shows while capturing is a courtesy to participants; it does not replace your legal duty to obtain the consent the law requires.

As between you and Tape, you are the party responsible under privacy and data-protection law for the people whose conversations you capture (the "controller," in GDPR terms). Tape processes conversation content only on your instruction and only as described in the Privacy Policy.

You agree that you, not Tape, are responsible for compliance, consent, and the lawfulness of your captures, and for any use you make of the resulting transcripts, summaries, or notes. To the extent permitted by law, you'll indemnify us for claims arising from your failure to do so (see Section 14).

5. Your content

As between you and Tape, you retain all rights you lawfully hold in the audio you capture and the transcripts, notes, edits, and summaries you create ("Your Content"). We don't claim ownership of Your Content. These Terms don't give you ownership of another person's speech or any rights you don't otherwise have.

Your Content remains on your device unless you choose a cloud feature. When you request a cloud summary, you grant us a limited, temporary license to transmit and process the transcript text solely to generate and return that summary. Any temporary retention is described in the Privacy Policy. We do not use Your Content for unrelated purposes or model training.

Your copies are your responsibility. Your Content is stored on your device and, if you enable Backup & Sync or Google Drive documents, in your own Google Drive account. You are responsible for your device, your Google account and its storage, and for keeping any copies you need. Backup & Sync keeps the latest synced state in your own Google Drive; it is not a version history or an archive service, and we don't control your Google account, its storage limits, or its availability. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss or unavailability of Your Content caused by your device, your Google account, or a third-party service. This does not limit our responsibility for a failure caused by Tape itself.

6. Free and paid features

Free plan. Tape's Free plan includes capture and on-device transcription without a subscription.

Plus. Plus adds AI summaries and summary templates, Backup & Sync across your devices, and Google Drive documents. Backup & Sync and Google Drive documents use a Google Drive account you choose and control; Tape doesn't provide storage, version history, or recovery beyond the latest synced state, and if your Plus access ends, syncing pauses while your existing backup and documents remain in your Drive.

14-day Plus trial. A new Tape account may receive one 14-day Plus trial without entering payment details. The trial does not renew or become a paid subscription automatically. To continue using Plus after it ends, you must choose a paid plan and approve the purchase.

Subscriptions. Plus is available as a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription. The exact price, currency, billing period, and renewal terms are shown before you purchase. Your subscription renews until you cancel it through the provider where you purchased it.

Where you pay. Purchases made in the iPhone app are processed by Apple. Purchases started in the Mac app are completed through Polar, which acts as the merchant of record. Apple and Polar handle payment processing, taxes, receipts, and billing under their respective terms. Prices are shown in shekels and include VAT where applicable. Before you confirm a purchase, the price, billing period, and renewal terms are shown to you.

Cancelling and your statutory rights. You can cancel at any time. For a Polar subscription, use Settings → Billing → Manage subscription or email or@usetape.app. When emailing, include the email address associated with your Tape account so we can identify the subscription. Your email is sufficient cancellation notice; no additional form or phone call is required. Cancellation takes effect within three business days after we receive your notice. For an App Store subscription, cancel in your Apple Account settings. Unless a refund is issued or applicable law requires otherwise, you keep Plus until the end of the period you already paid for, and cancellation prevents the next renewal. Israeli consumers have a statutory right to cancel a distance-sale transaction within 14 days of the purchase or of receiving the disclosure document, whichever is later; where a cancellation fee applies it will not exceed the lower of 5% of the transaction or ₪100. App Store purchases are refunded by Apple under Apple's policies. Nothing here limits any mandatory consumer rights.

Price and plan changes. We may change prices and change or withdraw Plus features and trial eligibility. We'll give you at least 30 days' notice by email before a change affects a subscription you already have. Changes never apply retroactively to a period you've already paid for. If a change materially reduces what you paid for, you may cancel before it takes effect and receive a pro-rated refund of the unused period.

Usage limits. Cloud features may include reasonable fair-use or per-period limits to protect the Service from abuse and keep it sustainable.

7. AI features and accuracy

Transcription and summaries are produced by automated models and may contain errors, omissions, or misattributions — including wrong words, wrong speakers, or inaccurate summaries, especially with overlapping speech, accents, background noise, or domain-specific terms. Tape is an aid, not a system of record.

Don't rely on Tape's output as professional advice (legal, medical, financial, or otherwise) or as an authoritative or verbatim record. Review important output and verify anything that matters before acting on it. You're responsible for how you use the output.

8. Acceptable use

Don't:

use Tape to break the law or to violate others' rights (including recording or privacy laws — see Section 4);
capture, transcribe, or process conversations without the consent the law requires;
reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code, except where that restriction is prohibited by law;
probe, scan, or breach the security of the Service, or interfere with its normal operation or others' use of it;
resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service except as expressly permitted;
use the Service to build a competing product, or to abuse the cloud features (for example, automated bulk requests beyond fair use).

We may suspend or limit access to protect the Service, our users, or third parties, and to address violations of these Terms.

9. Third-party services

Tape works with third-party services — including Google, Apple, and others. Your use of those services is also governed by their terms and privacy policies. We're not responsible for third-party services, and their availability or terms may change.

10. Our intellectual property

The Tape apps, website, brand, logos, design, and software are owned by Tape and protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service as intended by these Terms. We reserve all rights not expressly granted. "Tape" and our logos are our trademarks; don't use them without permission.

11. Feedback

If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free license to use them to improve the Service, without obligation to you. Feedback is given voluntarily.

12. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranty about accuracy, reliability, or availability, or about transcription or summary quality. We don't warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that output will be accurate or complete.

Some jurisdictions don't allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case, statutory warranties apply to the minimum extent required.

13. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, goodwill, or business, arising from or related to the Service.
Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) USD 50 (or its local-currency equivalent).

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that can't be excluded by law (for example, for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence). Where mandatory consumer-protection law applies, these limits apply only to the extent that law allows.

14. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Tape and its team from claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your use of the Service, Your Content, your failure to obtain required recording consent or to comply with applicable law (Section 4), or your breach of these Terms.

15. Termination

You may stop using Tape and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service (we'll give reasonable notice of a planned discontinuation where we can). Except where your conduct creates legal risk or harms the Service, we'll give you notice and a chance to fix the problem first, and if we terminate your account without cause we'll refund the unused part of any period you've paid for. On termination, your right to use the Service ends; the data on your device remains yours, and you can delete it. Sections that by their nature should survive (ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnity, governing law) survive termination.

16. Changes to the Service and these Terms

We may change the Service and update these Terms as Tape evolves. For material changes to the Terms, we'll update the "Last updated" date and give reasonable notice (in the app, by email, or on the website). Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms; if you don't agree, stop using the Service.

17. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and the competent courts of Tel Aviv–Jaffa, Israel will have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, you may also bring a claim in the court with jurisdiction where you live, and nothing here takes away rights that mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence gives you.

18. Apple App Store terms

If you obtained Tape from the Apple App Store, the following apply to that copy, and Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies:

These Terms are between you and us, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the app or its content.
You're granted a license to use Tape only on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service.
Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Tape.
If Tape fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to Tape.
Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to Tape, including product-liability, legal/regulatory, or intellectual-property claims.
You represent that you're not located in a U.S.-embargoed country or on a U.S. prohibited-parties list, as required by Apple.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

19. General

Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service.
Severability. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
No waiver. Our not enforcing a right isn't a waiver of it.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
Relationship. These Terms don't create a partnership, agency, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and us.
Notices. We send legal notices to your account email or post them in the app or on the website; electronic notice counts as written notice.
Language. The English version of these Terms controls; any translation is provided for convenience.
