Vokyl End User License Agreement

Effective date: August 3, 2026

1. Parties and acknowledgement

1.1 This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you ("you" or "User") and [LEGAL NAME], doing business as SplendidBit ("SplendidBit," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your use of the Vokyl application and any updates, documentation, and related materials (collectively, "Vokyl").

1.2 You and SplendidBit acknowledge that this Agreement is concluded between you and SplendidBit only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). SplendidBit, not Apple, is solely responsible for Vokyl and its content. This Agreement does not provide for usage rules for Vokyl that conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions as of the effective date of this Agreement, which you acknowledge you have had the opportunity to review.

2. Scope of license

2.1 SplendidBit grants you a non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable license to use Vokyl on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, and as permitted by the Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that Vokyl may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing where and to the extent SplendidBit has enabled those programs. Family Sharing is not enabled for Vokyl.

2.2 You may not rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense Vokyl. You may not copy, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, modify, or create derivative works of Vokyl, any updates, or any part thereof, except as and only to the extent that the foregoing restriction is prohibited by applicable law or permitted by the licensing terms governing any open-source components included with Vokyl.

2.3 All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by SplendidBit and its licensors. Vokyl is licensed, not sold, to you.

3. Maintenance and support

3.1 SplendidBit is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services with respect to Vokyl, as specified in this Agreement or as required under applicable law. You and SplendidBit acknowledge that Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to Vokyl.

3.2 Support is provided on a commercially reasonable, best-efforts basis by email at splendidbit [at] gmail [dot] com. SplendidBit does not guarantee any response time, resolution, or continued availability of support.

4. Subscription, billing, and cancellation

4.1 Vokyl Pro is offered as a single auto-renewing yearly subscription. A 7-day free trial is available for eligible Apple Accounts, after which the base United States price is $1.99 per year. Pricing is localized by the App Store and is shown to you before purchase. The price and terms presented in the App Store purchase sheet are authoritative.

4.2 The subscription renews automatically each year unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account after the free trial. Trial eligibility is determined solely by Apple. You may manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account subscription settings.

4.3 All purchases, billing, refunds, trial eligibility, and entitlement timing are handled by Apple, not by SplendidBit. SplendidBit operates no billing system and receives no payment card details. Refund requests must be directed to Apple. SplendidBit has no obligation to provide refunds and, except where required by applicable law, all fees are non-refundable.

4.4 SplendidBit may change subscription pricing or the features included in Vokyl Pro on a prospective basis. Price changes are subject to Apple's notice and consent processes.

4.5 If your subscription lapses or is canceled, content already stored on your device is not deleted by SplendidBit merely because access expires, and it becomes available again after an eligible entitlement is restored.

5. Recording, consent, and lawful use

5.1 Vokyl records audio only when you explicitly start a recording or import an audio file. You are solely and exclusively responsible for determining whether your recording is lawful and for obtaining every notice, consent, permission, and authorization required by applicable law in every jurisdiction connected to the recording, including the jurisdictions of every participant.

5.2 You acknowledge that recording laws vary substantially by jurisdiction; that some jurisdictions require the consent of every party to a communication; and that unlawful recording may give rise to civil liability, statutory damages, and criminal penalties. You acknowledge that SplendidBit cannot and does not determine, verify, monitor, advise on, or ensure the lawfulness of any recording you make.

5.3 You represent and warrant that you will not use Vokyl in violation of any applicable law, including any wiretapping, eavesdropping, electronic surveillance, privacy, data protection, workplace, educational, or recording-consent law.

5.4 SplendidBit provides no legal advice. Nothing in Vokyl, its documentation, or its marketing constitutes legal advice or an assurance that any particular use is lawful.

6. Acceptable use

6.1 You will not use Vokyl to:

• (a) record any person without the notice and consent required by applicable law;
• (b) stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, surveil, or covertly monitor any person;
• (c) record communications of a minor without the consent of a parent or legal guardian, where such consent is required;
• (d) record in any location or context where recording is prohibited by law, regulation, contract, institutional policy, or the terms of your employment or enrollment;
• (e) capture, store, or process information in violation of any confidentiality, non-disclosure, professional, fiduciary, or legal-privilege obligation to which you are subject;
• (f) violate the rights of any third party, including privacy, publicity, contract, and intellectual property rights;
• (g) attempt to circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security, licensing, or entitlement feature of Vokyl; or
• (h) use Vokyl in any manner not permitted by this Agreement or by applicable law.

6.2 SplendidBit may suspend or terminate your license immediately, without notice or refund, if SplendidBit reasonably believes you have violated this Section.

7. Nature of outputs; no reliance

7.1 Vokyl produces transcripts, speaker labels, summaries, lecture notes, extracted decisions, and suggested tasks using automated on-device processing. These outputs are generated by machine and ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, OR RELIABLE. They may contain errors, omissions, misattributions, mistranscriptions, and misinterpretations, including errors that materially change meaning.

7.2 Vokyl is not a system of record. Outputs are not verbatim legal transcripts, are not certified, and are not suitable for use as evidence, for regulatory or compliance recordkeeping, for medical documentation, or for any purpose requiring verified accuracy.

7.3 Nothing produced by Vokyl constitutes legal, medical, financial, tax, accounting, employment, or other professional advice. You must independently verify any output before relying on it. You assume all risk arising from your reliance on any output.

7.4 Speaker identification and voice-matching features are probabilistic and may misidentify speakers. You are responsible for reviewing and correcting speaker labels before relying on or sharing them.

8. Your content, data, and backup

8.1 You retain all rights you hold in the audio, transcripts, and other content you create or import using Vokyl ("Your Content"). SplendidBit claims no ownership of Your Content.

8.2 Vokyl processes Your Content on your device. SplendidBit operates no server that receives Your Content and therefore has no copy of it, no ability to recover it, and no ability to restore it.

8.3 YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING BACKUPS OF YOUR CONTENT. SplendidBit is not responsible for any loss, corruption, deletion, or unavailability of Your Content, however caused, including loss resulting from device loss, damage, theft, failure, or replacement; operating-system or application updates; your disabling of backup; your configuration of retention settings; your deletion of content; iCloud availability, capacity, or account issues; or your discontinuation of a subscription.

8.4 Retention settings you select, including automatic removal of audio after 7, 30, or 90 days, are applied by Vokyl as configured. You are responsible for the consequences of the settings you choose.

9. Third-party services and terms

9.1 Vokyl can interoperate with services operated by third parties, including Apple services (such as iCloud, Reminders, and Maps) and Todoist. Those services are not controlled by SplendidBit.

9.2 You agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms when using Vokyl. Your use of any third-party service is governed by that third party's terms and privacy policy. SplendidBit is not responsible or liable for any third-party service, including its availability, accuracy, security, data handling, retention, deletion, or discontinuation, or for any content you send to it.

9.3 Once you approve delivery of a task or share content to an external destination, that information is controlled by the receiving service and must be managed or deleted there.

9.4 Vokyl includes third-party software and model assets subject to their own licenses. Those licenses are identified at /vokyl/third-party and, to the extent they conflict with this Agreement with respect to that component, those licenses govern that component.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

10.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, VOKYL IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. SPLENDIDBIT AND ITS LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

10.2 SPLENDIDBIT DOES NOT WARRANT THAT VOKYL WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT ITS OPERATION WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, THAT VOKYL WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH ANY PARTICULAR DEVICE OR OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION, OR THAT ANY OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE.

10.3 NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION GIVEN BY SPLENDIDBIT OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES CREATES A WARRANTY.

10.4 In the event of any failure of Vokyl to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for Vokyl to you, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to Vokyl, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty will be SplendidBit's sole responsibility.

10.5 Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to you. In that case, any implied warranty is limited to the shortest period permitted by applicable law.

11. Limitation of liability

11.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL SPLENDIDBIT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL, OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS; FOR LOSS, CORRUPTION, OR UNAVAILABILITY OF DATA OR CONTENT; FOR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION; OR FOR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, VOKYL - REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF SPLENDIDBIT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

11.2 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SPLENDIDBIT'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO VOKYL OR THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR VOKYL IN THE TWELVE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50.00).

11.3 The limitations in this Section apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or of liability for personal injury, so the above may not apply to you in full. Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, willful injury, gross negligence, or violation of law.

11.4 You acknowledge that the pricing of Vokyl reflects the allocation of risk in this Agreement and that these limitations are an essential basis of the bargain between you and SplendidBit.

12. Indemnification

12.1 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SplendidBit and its owner, agents, contractors, and licensors from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:

• (a) any recording you make or import, including any claim that a recording was made without required notice or consent or otherwise in violation of law;
• (b) your breach of this Agreement, including Sections 5 and 6;
• (c) your violation of any applicable law or of the rights of any third party;
• (d) Your Content and your use, disclosure, sharing, or delivery of it to any person or service; and
• (e) your reliance on any output generated by Vokyl.

12.2 SplendidBit will provide you with reasonable notice of any claim subject to indemnification and may, at its own expense, participate in the defense with counsel of its choosing. You will not settle any claim in a manner that imposes any obligation or admission on SplendidBit without its prior written consent.

13. Governing law and dispute resolution

13.1 Governing law. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules, except that this Section is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

13.2 Informal resolution first. Before initiating any formal proceeding, you agree to contact SplendidBit at splendidbit [at] gmail [dot] com and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days.

13.3 Binding arbitration. Except as provided in Section 13.5, any dispute arising out of or relating to Vokyl or this Agreement will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by a recognized arbitration provider under its consumer arbitration rules. The arbitration will be conducted in Los Angeles County, California, or, at your election, by telephone, videoconference, or written submission. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

13.4 Class action waiver. YOU AND SPLENDIDBIT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding. If this Section 13.4 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim, and only that claim, will proceed in court under Section 13.5.

13.5 Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction for infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights. Nothing in this Section waives any right you have that cannot be waived under applicable law, including any right to bring a claim before a governmental agency.

13.6 Opting out of arbitration. You may opt out of Sections 13.3 and 13.4 by emailing splendidbit [at] gmail [dot] com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" within thirty (30) days of first accepting this Agreement, including your name and the Apple Account email used. Opting out does not affect any other part of this Agreement.

13.7 If you reside in a jurisdiction whose mandatory consumer protection law grants you rights that this Section would restrict, those rights are unaffected and this Section applies only to the extent permitted by that law.

14. Legal compliance

14.1 You represent and warrant that (a) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (b) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

14.2 You will comply with all applicable third-party terms when using Vokyl.

15. Intellectual property and product claims

15.1 SplendidBit and its licensors retain all right, title, and interest in and to Vokyl, including all intellectual property rights. "Vokyl" and "SplendidBit" and associated logos are marks of SplendidBit.

15.2 You and SplendidBit acknowledge that SplendidBit, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to Vokyl or your possession and use of Vokyl, including: (a) product liability claims; (b) any claim that Vokyl fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (c) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation, including in connection with Vokyl's use of any framework or feature. This Agreement does not limit SplendidBit's liability beyond what is permitted by applicable law.

15.3 You and SplendidBit acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that Vokyl or your possession and use of Vokyl infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, SplendidBit, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim.

16. Termination

16.1 This Agreement is effective until terminated. Your rights under this Agreement terminate automatically if you fail to comply with any of its terms.

16.2 SplendidBit may terminate this Agreement or discontinue Vokyl, in whole or in part, at any time. Upon termination, you must cease all use of Vokyl and delete all copies.

16.3 Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 17 survive termination.

17. General

17.1 Changes. SplendidBit may modify this Agreement. Material changes will be made available with an updated effective date. Your continued use of Vokyl after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree, you must stop using Vokyl.

17.2 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

17.3 No waiver. SplendidBit's failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later.

17.4 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement. SplendidBit may assign this Agreement without restriction.

17.5 Entire agreement. This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and SplendidBit regarding Vokyl and supersedes all prior understandings, other than the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, which continue to apply to your relationship with Apple.

17.6 Force majeure. SplendidBit is not liable for any failure or delay caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.

18. Third party beneficiary

18.1 You and SplendidBit acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and that, upon your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.
