Terms of Use

Last updated: April 17, 2026

The short version. Recordium is a one-time-purchase macOS app. Use it to record and transcribe your own calls, lawfully. It comes as-is, without warranty. Call-recording laws vary — it's your responsibility to comply with them.

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the Recordium macOS application ("the App"), published by Nikita Kudriavtsev ("the Developer", "we", "our"). By installing or using the App you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. License

Upon purchase through the Mac App Store, you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. The App is licensed, not sold.

2. Acceptable use

You agree that you will:

Use the App only to record calls, meetings, or audio that you are legally entitled to record.
Obtain any consent required by the laws of the jurisdiction(s) of each participant on the recorded call.
Not use the App to surveil, harass, impersonate, or otherwise harm any person.
Not reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the App, except as expressly permitted by applicable law.
Not redistribute, resell, sublicense, or lease the App.

Important — call recording laws. Many jurisdictions require two-party (all-party) consent before recording a phone call or videoconference. This includes, for example, California, Florida, Washington, most EU member states, and many others. It is entirely your responsibility to understand and comply with the laws that apply to you and to the other participants. The Developer provides no legal advice and accepts no liability for your use of the App in violation of applicable law.

3. Third-party services

The App sends audio to third-party AI providers (such as OpenRouter, OpenAI, and Google) when you initiate a transcription, using API keys you provide. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, which you are responsible for reading. The Developer is not a party to your agreement with those providers and is not responsible for their conduct, availability, pricing, or data handling.

4. Pricing and purchases

The App is sold as a one-time purchase through the Mac App Store. All payment processing, refund policy, and purchase records are handled by Apple according to its own terms. For refund requests, contact Apple Support — we have no ability to issue App Store refunds directly.

5. Updates

We may from time to time provide updates to the App. Updates are delivered through the Mac App Store. We are under no obligation to provide any specific update, fix, or new feature.

6. Ownership

The App, including all software, graphics, trademarks, and documentation, is owned by the Developer and is protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws. You retain full ownership of the audio recordings and transcripts you create with the App — we claim no rights to your content.

7. Disclaimer of warranty

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that transcriptions will be accurate. Use of AI transcription inherently involves the possibility of errors and hallucinations — do not rely on transcripts for safety-critical, legal, or medical decisions without independent verification.

8. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE DEVELOPER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP. THE DEVELOPER'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP.

9. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Developer from any claims, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from (a) your use of the App, (b) your violation of these Terms, or (c) your violation of any applicable law, including laws governing the recording of communications.

10. Termination

These Terms remain in effect until terminated. They terminate automatically if you fail to comply with any term. Upon termination, you must stop using the App and delete all copies. Sections 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11 survive termination.

11. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable to the Developer's place of residence, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence continue to apply.

12. Apple-specific terms

You acknowledge that these Terms are entered into between you and the Developer, and not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, which will refund the purchase price to you. Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the App after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
