These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the LoudScript website and LoudScript applications and services for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS (together, the "Service") operated by LoudScript ("us", "we", "I", "Kin-Yee", "Ho Ye Lam" or "our").
The website, apps, downloadable software, updates, and related services (the "App") are made available to you by Kin-Yee subject to these Terms, including the Privacy Policy.
The Services are provided to you as the user of the Services by Kin-Yee ("LoudScript", "we"), with its main office in the Netherlands, registered at the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under 75399423.
The Services include text-to-speech conversion, selected-text reading, screen text capture and OCR where supported, voice selection, speech formatting, audio playback controls, optional voice model downloads, reading history, subscriptions where available, and the user interfaces that provide access to these features.
Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully before using the Service.
Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service.
By accessing or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the terms then you may not access the Service.
If you do not agree with the Terms, please do not use this App. BY CONTINUING TO USE THE APP, YOU ARE INDICATING YOUR AGREEMENT TO THE TERMS AND ALL REVISIONS THEREOF.
Some parts of the Service may be offered for free, while other parts may be billed on a subscription basis ("Subscription(s)"). Subscription plans may be marketed as LoudScript Plus, LoudScript Pro, or other names. You will be billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis ("Billing Cycle"). Billing cycles are set either on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the type of subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription.
Subscription payments, renewals, and cancellations are handled by the platform where you purchase the Subscription. For iOS, iPadOS, and any App Store distribution, payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription automatically renews unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions by going to your account settings on the App Store after purchase.
All purchases are final except where required by law or the platform's refund rules. LoudScript cannot issue refunds for purchases charged to your Apple ID.
LoudScript, in its sole discretion and at any time, may modify the Subscription fees for the Subscriptions. Any Subscription fee change will become effective at the end of the then-current Billing Cycle. LoudScript will provide you with a reasonable prior notice of any change in Subscription fees to give you an opportunity to terminate your Subscription before such change becomes effective. Your continued use of the Service after the Subscription fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Subscription fee amount.
Except when required by law, paid Subscription fees are non-refundable.
We may terminate or suspend your account immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach the Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the affected Service will immediately cease. If you wish to stop using the Service, you may discontinue use, delete the app, clear local history where available, and cancel any active Subscription through the platform where you purchased it.
Under no circumstances shall LoudScript, its directors, employees, partners, agents, suppliers, or affiliates, be held responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. This includes, but is not limited to, losses related to profits, data, usage, goodwill, or other intangible losses that may arise from (i) your ability or inability to access or use the Service; (ii) the conduct or content of any third party on the Service; (iii) any content obtained from the Service; or (iv) unauthorized access, usage, or alteration of your transmissions or content. This applies regardless of whether the liability is based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, and irrespective of whether we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. It holds even if a remedy outlined herein is found to have failed its essential purpose.
Furthermore, LoudScript is designed to assist users in converting text to speech, formatting text for speech, extracting text from selected screen areas, and managing reading history. However, it is the user's sole responsibility to ensure they have the right to use, capture, format, convert, and play any text content they input into the Service. LoudScript does not guarantee 100% accuracy in speech synthesis, OCR, language detection, text formatting, or pronunciation due to software limitations, model behavior, text complexity, language variation, or platform behavior. Users should always verify important information and use the Service responsibly. Under no circumstances will LoudScript be held liable for any misunderstandings, misinterpretations, or adverse results arising from the use of our text-to-speech service.
