End User License Agreement
Last updated: August 25, 2026
This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is between you ("Licensee") and Ronald Tupas, sole proprietor ("Licensor"), and governs your use of the Anodaw software for macOS and Windows, including the bundled AI models and documentation (the "Software").
By purchasing, installing, or using the Software you agree to this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not install the Software; request a refund per Section 9 within the refund window.
1. License Grant
Licensor grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use the Software on up to 2 computers (Mac, Windows, or a combination) that you own or control, for personal or internal business use, subject to a valid license key.
2. Restrictions
You may not: (a) redistribute, sell, rent, lease, lend, or host the Software or your license key; (b) circumvent or attempt to circumvent license-key validation; (c) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software except to the extent applicable law expressly permits despite this limitation; (d) remove proprietary notices; (e) use the Software to build a directly competing dictation product by copying its expression (independent development is not restricted).
3. Ownership
The Software is licensed, not sold. Licensor retains all right, title, and interest, including all copyrights. Third-party components are the property of their respective owners and licensed under their own terms (Section 4).
4. Third-Party Components
The Software includes open-source components under Apache 2.0 and MIT licenses, listed with their license texts in the Third-Party Notices included with the Software. Those licenses apply to those components only; nothing in this Agreement restricts rights granted by them.
5. Privacy; Offline Operation
The Software processes audio and text entirely on your device. It does not transmit dictation, audio, or usage data anywhere. See the Privacy Policy for the few interactions that do touch a network (purchase, download, license-key issuance — all handled at purchase time by the payment processor, not by the app).
6. Updates
Licensor may provide updates at its discretion. This license covers updates Licensor makes available to your license key unless an update is accompanied by separate terms.
7. No Warranty
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY OF TRANSCRIPTION OR AI OUTPUT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. DICTATION AND AI CLEANUP MAY PRODUCE ERRORS; YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING OUTPUT BEFORE RELYING ON IT.
8. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LICENSOR'S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SOFTWARE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE LICENSE, AND LICENSOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR LOST DATA), EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; these apply to the fullest extent permitted.
9. Refunds; Termination
Refund policy: 14 days from purchase, no questions asked, via the payment processor. This Agreement terminates automatically if you breach it; upon termination you must delete all copies. Sections 3, 7, 8, and 10 survive termination.
10. General
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding conflict-of-law rules. It is the entire agreement regarding the Software. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder stands.
