Terms of Service
These terms govern your use of the EchoNative iOS app and the website at echonative.com. By using the App or this site, you agree to them.
1. The App is free
EchoNative is provided free of charge for personal learning use. There is no subscription, no in-app purchase, and no advertising. The developer reserves the right to introduce paid plans for institutional, classroom, or commercial use in the future, but the consumer (C-end) experience for individual learners will remain free.
2. What you can do with content
- You may import any podcast RSS feed, Apple Podcasts link, or local audio file you have the right to listen to.
- You are responsible for respecting the copyright of podcast publishers. EchoNative is a personal study tool — generated transcripts, vocabulary, and notes are for your own learning and may not be redistributed.
- You may not use EchoNative to mass-scrape, mirror, or republish third-party podcast content.
3. Acceptable use
Don't use the App or site to:
- Violate any law or third-party right;
- Submit content that infringes copyright, harasses others, or contains malware;
- Reverse-engineer or attempt to bypass any technical limit;
- Abuse the OpenAI-backed features in a way that incurs unreasonable cost (the developer reserves the right to rate-limit or block accounts that do).
4. No warranty
The App and site are provided "as is." Whisper transcriptions and gpt-4o analyses are produced by AI models and may contain errors — especially for accented speech, technical jargon, and proper nouns. Do not rely on them for critical decisions.
5. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the developer is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of EchoNative. Total liability for any direct claim will not exceed the amount you paid for the App, which is zero.
6. Third-party services
EchoNative relies on Apple's App Store, Apple's iOS APIs, OpenAI's APIs, and the podcast hosting providers you choose to fetch from. Their respective terms also apply.
7. Changes
We may update these terms. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date above. Continued use after changes means you accept them.
8. Termination
You can stop using EchoNative at any time by deleting the App. The developer may discontinue the App or specific features with reasonable notice.
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the developer's place of residence, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
