Terms of using Ogmo.

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) are a legal agreement between you (“User”) and Ogmo (“we”, “us”, “our”), a project currently operated by Daria Iaparova (founder and operator) and Wentao Guo (Apple Developer account holder), pre-incorporation, trading as Ogmo. The Mac app is published through its own Apple Developer account. References to “Ogmo” refer to this team and any future incorporated entity operating under the Ogmo brand.

Note on incorporation: Upon incorporation, these Terms will be updated to reflect the registered legal entity name, jurisdiction, and company number.

By downloading, installing, or using the Ogmo application for iPhone and iPad or the Ogmo application for Mac (each, the “App”), you agree to these Terms as they apply to the App you use. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

Ogmo is an application for iPhone, iPad, and Mac designed to provide real-time captions, speaker identification, and AI-generated session summaries for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) university students and others who benefit from accessible audio transcription.

The Mac app also lets you caption audio playing on your Mac (such as a call or meeting) as well as your microphone, ask AI questions about a session (Chat), transcribe on-device in an offline mode, and optionally share a session through a web link. Where available in your version, it can also import audio or video files for transcription and re-transcribe saved sessions.

The App is an assistive technology tool. It is not a certified medical device, an official accessibility compliance solution, or a replacement for professional captioning services or sign language interpreters.

You may use Ogmo if:

• You are at least 13 years of age (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction for entering agreements)
• You have downloaded the App through the Apple App Store or the Mac App Store
• You agree to these Terms and Apple's App Store Terms of Service (including its Mac App Store terms, where applicable)

If you are under 18, you should review these Terms with a parent or guardian.

Ogmo is available globally through the Apple App Store and Mac App Store, with current focus on university students in ASEAN and English-speaking regions. Nothing in these Terms limits who may use the App based on disability status — the App is built for everyone who benefits from real-time captions.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms and Apple's App Store Terms of Service.

You may not:

• Sublicense, sell, resell, transfer, assign, or otherwise dispose of your rights to the App
• Use the App on any device you do not own or have the legal right to use
• Use the App for any purpose other than as described in these Terms

These Terms do not transfer any ownership of the App to you. The App is licensed, not sold.

The App is also subject to Apple's Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (“Apple EULA”), which applies to your download from the App Store or Mac App Store unless we provide a separate license agreement for the App. These Terms supplement the Apple EULA; the Apple-required minimum terms below are included for your information.

Ogmo uses Soniox for cloud speech-to-text and speaker identification, and on-device models when you use offline mode on Mac. Caption accuracy depends on microphone quality, background noise, speaker accents, internet connection, and language.

We do not guarantee that captions, speaker identifications, session summaries, Chat answers, or automatically suggested speaker names will be accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular purpose. AI-generated text can be wrong or can omit important information; check it against the original before relying on it.

Using Ogmo does not guarantee that a university, institution, or individual meets any legal accessibility or disability accommodation obligation.

As a user, you agree to:

• Use the App lawfully and in compliance with these Terms
• Not record individuals without their knowledge or consent where required by law
• Not use the App to capture, store, or distribute content in violation of privacy or recording laws
• Only capture meetings, calls, or other audio — including audio playing on your Mac — where you have the right and, where required, everyone's consent to do so
• Only share a session through a link where you have the right to share its contents and the consent of the people recorded in it
• Not attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the App's source code
• Not distribute, sublicense, or resell the App or its output for commercial purposes without written permission
• Not use the App in any way that could damage or interfere with associated systems

The Ogmo application, including its code, design, and branding, is owned by Ogmo and protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You retain full ownership of any transcripts, summaries, or other content generated by the App based on your sessions. We claim no rights over your content.

The App integrates with the following third-party services. Your use is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies:

• •Soniox — real-time and file speech-to-text and speaker identification. Privacy policy
• •OpenRouter and its model providers — AI session summaries, Chat answers, and speaker-name suggestions from transcript text. Privacy policy
• •Apple Intelligence — optional on-device or Private Cloud Compute summaries and Chat on Mac. Privacy policy
• •Google Firebase — accounts (Authentication), optional session sharing (Firestore), cloud functions, remote feature settings, and, on iPhone and iPad, analytics and crash reporting. Privacy policy
• •Google Sign-In — optional sign-in with a Google account on Mac. Privacy policy
• •RevenueCat — purchase validation and minute balance (and subscription entitlements on iPhone and iPad). Privacy policy
• •Apple — App Store and Mac App Store distribution, purchases and code redemption, and Sign in with Apple. Privacy policy

Ogmo, not Apple, is solely responsible for providing maintenance and support for the App. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support services for the App.

If you have questions, found a bug, or need help, contact us at support@ogmo.app. We do not guarantee a specific response time, but we do read every message.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

The App is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We expressly disclaim all warranties including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Apple provides no warranty for this App. In the event of failure to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund your App purchase price (if any). Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties. If you are in such a jurisdiction, some of these exclusions may not apply to you.

Ogmo, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims you or any third party may have relating to the App, including product liability, regulatory compliance, consumer protection, privacy, and intellectual property claims. Apple has no responsibility for investigating, defending, settling, or discharging any such claims.

By using the App, you represent that you are not located in a country subject to an embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and are not listed on any government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You will comply with all applicable local, national, and international laws.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

Ogmo will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages; loss of data or transcripts; damages from reliance on inaccurate captions; or unavailability of third-party services.

Our total liability will not exceed the greater of: (a) the amount Apple has remitted to Ogmo attributable to your purchases in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) $10 USD.

Payment-related matters are explicitly excluded from Ogmo's liability. All billing and payment disputes are controlled exclusively by Apple through reportaproblem.apple.com.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain liability limitations. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be excluded by law.

You acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance, Apple will have the right to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it from your device. Deleting the App will permanently remove all locally stored transcripts and session data (on Mac, files you exported to a folder of your choosing are not part of the App and stay where they are). Deleting the App does not delete your account or any session you shared.

You can delete your account at any time from the App's Settings. Deleting your account removes it and the session data you shared from our servers, as described in the Privacy Policy, and on Mac also erases that account's sessions and recordings from the device.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access at any time if you violate these Terms. In cases of serious violations, termination may be immediate and without notice.

On termination, your license to use the App ends. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date and, for material changes, notify you within the App or by other reasonable means.

Continued use of the App after updated Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance. If you do not agree, stop using the App.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Australia, without regard to conflict of law principles. Disputes will first be attempted to be resolved informally by contacting support@ogmo.app. If informal resolution fails within 30 days, disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Australia.

Consumer protection rights: Nothing in these Terms limits, waives, or overrides any rights you may have under applicable mandatory consumer protection law, including the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010).

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other policies referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Ogmo regarding the App, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
