These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you ("you" or the "user") and FastProducts LLC (the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of the WhisperJot desktop applications for macOS, Windows, and Linux (the "Software"), the website located at https://whisperjot.com (the "Website"), and any related services, downloads, models, rule packs, accounts, updates, documentation, APIs, feedback/report endpoints, and content (collectively, the "Service"). WhisperJot is a product of FastProducts LLC.
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. THEY CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION, CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER (SECTION 13) THAT AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using any part of the Service, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. If you use the Service on behalf of a company, organization, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and "you" includes that entity.
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian.
We may modify these Terms at any time. Changes are effective when posted at https://whisperjot.com/terms/ or otherwise made available through the Service. Your continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically.
2. Service Description; Changes
The Service may include, without limitation: on-device voice dictation and speech-to-text transcription; optional cloud transcription through the "Jot Cloud" engine; text injection into third-party applications; text cleanup and post-processing; optional local language-model integration; local transcription history; optional local recording retention and crash recovery; selected-text or clipboard context features; downloadable speech-recognition, voice-activity, and language models; signed cleanup rule packs; software updates; account, authentication, download-gating, and email features; diagnostics exports; opt-in cleanup reports; an in-browser transcription demo on the Website; and Website content.
We may modify, suspend, limit, rate-limit, gate, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you. We do not guarantee that the Service, or any feature of it, will be available, uninterrupted, error-free, secure, maintained, compatible with any device or third-party application, or supported for any period of time.
If we permanently discontinue the entire Service, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) provide at least thirty (30) days' advance notice to the email address associated with your account, and (b) make a reasonable window available for you to export your synced content. Upon discontinuation, all plans and licenses — including Lifetime Plans (Section 6) — terminate. No refunds or credits will be owed except as required by applicable law; the notice and export window described in this paragraph are your sole and exclusive remedy for discontinuation of the Service.
Some features may be experimental, pre-release, or platform-specific. We may change defaults, remove features, change model availability, alter download sources, or disable a feature if we believe it creates security, privacy, legal, operational, or business risk.
3. Accounts, Access, and Downloads
Certain features of the Service, including downloads or signing in to the Software, may require an account provided through our identity provider. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep it up to date.
You are solely responsible for your account credentials, authentication sessions, devices, and all activity under your account, whether or not authorized by you. Notify us immediately at info@fastproducts.io of any unauthorized use of your account. We may refuse, reclaim, suspend, disable, revoke, or delete accounts, sessions, usernames, download access, or licenses at our discretion.
Download gating, authentication, and signed update or rule-pack checks are protective controls, not a guarantee that downloads, releases, or endpoints are private, unavailable to others, or immune from abuse. We may monitor, log, rate-limit, block, or investigate access to protect the Service and our rights.
4. License to the Software; Acceptable Use
The Software is licensed, not sold. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, the Company grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use the Software for your own personal or internal business purposes.
You agree that you will not, and will not permit any third party to:
- Copy, distribute, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, host, provide service-bureau access to, or otherwise transfer the Software or any part of the Service except as expressly permitted by us in writing;
- Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, extract, or otherwise attempt to derive source code, models, signing keys, authentication flows, private APIs, or non-public components, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
- Modify, adapt, translate, create derivative works of, or remove proprietary notices from the Software or Service;
- Circumvent, disable, overload, probe, or interfere with any security, authentication, download-gating, signature-verification, rate-limiting, update, or abuse-prevention feature;
- Access the Service, Website, downloads, APIs, cleanup-report endpoints, or update endpoints by automated means, scraping, credential sharing, account farming, or unreasonable request volume without our prior written permission;
- Use the Service to transmit malware, harmful code, spam, or abusive traffic, or to disrupt servers, networks, accounts, endpoints, or third-party services;
- Use the Service to violate law, sanctions, export-control rules, contractual duties, or the intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, or other rights of any person;
- Record, transcribe, process, disclose, or inject content where doing so would violate law, workplace policy, platform rules, confidentiality obligations, consent requirements, or third-party rights;
- Use the Service to harass, abuse, impersonate, deceive, surveil, or harm others;
- Use the Service, its outputs, rule packs, models, interfaces, or documentation to create, train, benchmark, or improve a competing product or service; or
- Misrepresent your relationship with us or imply that we endorse content, products, services, or uses without our written permission.
Any breach of this Section immediately terminates your license to the Software.
5. Intellectual Property; User Content; Submissions
All software, code, binaries, rule packs, content, design, logos, trademarks, trade dress, documentation, Website materials, and other Company materials comprising or made available through the Service are owned by the Company or its licensors and are protected by intellectual-property and other laws. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
Your dictation stays yours. Text, audio, selected text, clipboard content, vocabulary, replacement rules, and other content you process locally with the Software remain yours as between you and us. Except for content you choose to submit to us and content you process through the optional Jot Cloud engine, these materials are processed on your device and are not transmitted to us by the Software. Content processed through the optional Jot Cloud cloud engine or the Website's in-browser demo is transmitted for transcription as described in the Privacy Policy; we do not store that audio on our servers, and the resulting transcript remains yours.
Local data is your responsibility. The Software may store settings, account identifiers, local history, vocabulary, replacement rules, diagnostics exports, temporary crash-recovery audio, and retained recording audio on your device, depending on your settings and platform. You are responsible for securing, backing up, reviewing, deleting, exporting, and lawfully using local data. We are not responsible for loss, corruption, unauthorized access, disclosure, or deletion of local data on your device.
Synced Content. If you enable the optional transcript sync feature ("WhisperJot Cloud"), transcripts and related metadata you choose to sync ("Synced Content") are stored on our servers as described in the Privacy Policy. Synced Content remains yours. You grant the Company a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, index, display to you, and transmit Synced Content solely as necessary to operate, provide, secure, and support the sync feature (including search and cross-device delivery), and to comply with law. This license ends when you delete the Synced Content or your account, except for content-free deletion markers and backup copies held briefly in the ordinary course of operations. Synced Content is not a Submission; we do not use it for marketing or to train models. You are responsible for ensuring you have the rights and any consents needed to sync content you record or dictate.
Voluntary submissions. If you choose to submit content to us, including opt-in transcription cleanup reports, expected-output notes, diagnostics files, feedback, suggestions, bug reports, support communications, survey responses, or other materials (collectively, "Submissions"), you grant the Company a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, store, host, modify, analyze, create derivative works from, distribute, display, publish, and otherwise exploit the Submissions for any purpose, including operating, protecting, marketing, and improving the Service, without compensation, confidentiality obligation, or attribution. You represent and warrant that you have all rights and consents necessary to provide the Submissions and that they do not violate law or third-party rights.
6. Fees
The Service may be offered through free trials, paid subscriptions, one-time purchases, usage limits, or paid features. Continued use of paid features is subject to the payment terms presented at purchase or renewal. Unless required by law or expressly stated otherwise, fees are non-refundable, and you are responsible for applicable taxes. Nothing in these Terms obligates us to keep any part of the Service free.
Lifetime Plans. From time to time we may offer plans designated as "Lifetime" plans for a one-time fee. "Lifetime" refers to the operating life of the Service — not the lifetime of the purchaser — and does not denote any fixed or minimum period of time. A Lifetime Plan provides access to the features of the applicable plan as they exist and as they may be modified from time to time, for so long as the Company continues to operate the Service, and does not entitle you to any particular feature, level of service, or future functionality. Lifetime Plans are personal to the purchasing account and may not be sold, transferred, shared, or sublicensed, except that a promotional companion code issued with a Lifetime Plan purchase, where offered, may be given to one other person for use on their own account, subject to the redemption conditions presented with the code. The one-time fee is consideration for access to the Service while it operates and is not a deposit, an investment, or a guarantee of any minimum duration of availability. Lifetime Plans remain subject to these Terms, including the acceptable-use provisions; violation may result in termination without refund. If a Lifetime Plan purchase is refunded or subject to a payment dispute, the associated access — including access obtained through the purchase's companion code — may be revoked. Except as required by applicable law, Lifetime Plan fees are non-refundable. If the Service is discontinued, Section 2 (Service Description; Changes) applies, including to Lifetime Plans.
7. Dictation Output, Text Injection, and High-Risk Use
The Software transcribes speech, cleans text, may process selected text or clipboard context, and may type, paste, replace, submit, or otherwise insert text into the application or field that has focus. Automatic transcription, cleanup, context handling, voice commands, local LLM output, hotkey detection, clipboard restoration, application focus detection, and text injection are inherently imperfect and may produce inaccurate, incomplete, offensive, duplicated, missing, delayed, unintended, or misplaced output.
You are solely responsible for reviewing all text before relying on it, sending it, submitting it, publishing it, storing it, or otherwise acting on it. You are solely responsible for the content you dictate, the applications you dictate into, permissions you grant, any spoken send/submit behavior, and compliance with the terms, policies, and laws applicable to those applications and content.
The Service is not designed, certified, or intended for emergency communications; medical, legal, financial, employment, housing, insurance, education, or safety-critical decisions; regulated records; professional advice; or any context where inaccurate, delayed, deleted, disclosed, or unintended text could cause harm. We are not a medical provider, law firm, financial adviser, emergency service, regulated data processor, or business associate, and we do not provide professional advice or compliance guarantees. You must not rely on the Service in high-risk contexts.
8. Third-Party Services, Models, and Updates
The Service may interact with third-party software, services, operating systems, identity providers, email providers, hosting providers, content delivery networks, model publishers, package repositories, update systems, local LLM runtimes, and applications into which you dictate. These third parties are not controlled by us and may change, suspend, revoke, rate-limit, log, or process data according to their own terms and privacy policies.
Speech-recognition, voice-activity, and language models may be downloaded from third-party sources such as Hugging Face or GitHub and are subject to their own licenses, terms, availability, and technical limitations. Once downloaded, these models run locally on your device; using a local engine does not transmit your audio or transcripts to the model's publisher. The optional Jot Cloud cloud transcription engine and the Website's in-browser demo depend on third-party speech-to-text providers and on network availability, and we may impose reasonable rate, duration, or fair-use limits on cloud transcription and the demo. Optional LLM cleanup is intended for local runtimes by default, but if you configure a remote or non-loopback endpoint, you are responsible for that endpoint and any data sent to it.
We do not warrant third-party services, models, model outputs, licenses, downloads, update feeds, signatures, compatibility, security, availability, or continued operation. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of third-party components, models, services, and outputs is lawful and appropriate.
9. Termination
We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service, account, downloads, updates, endpoints, and license to the Software immediately, with or without notice or liability, for any reason, including if we believe you breached these Terms, created risk, or used the Service in a way that may harm us, users, third parties, or the Service.
You may terminate these Terms by discontinuing use of the Service, uninstalling the Software, and deleting your account. Upon termination, your license ceases immediately, and you must stop using the Service and delete all copies of the Software in your possession or control.
Provisions that by their nature should survive termination of these Terms, termination of your account, or discontinuation of the Service survive, including intellectual property, Submissions, warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, governing law, and payment obligations.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE," AND "WITH ALL FAULTS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, COMPATIBILITY, AND FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS; THAT TRANSCRIPTION, CLOUD TRANSCRIPTION, CLEANUP, LOCAL LLM OUTPUT, CONTEXT CAPTURE, TEXT INJECTION, UPDATES, DOWNLOADS, OR OTHER OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, LAWFUL, SAFE, OR RELIABLE; THAT LOCAL DATA WILL BE PRESERVED; THAT THIRD-PARTY APPLICATIONS WILL ACCEPT INSERTED TEXT; THAT THE SERVICE WILL WORK WITH YOUR HARDWARE, OPERATING SYSTEM, DEVICE SETTINGS, SECURITY SOFTWARE, ACCESSIBILITY SETTINGS, OR OTHER SOFTWARE; OR THAT ERRORS WILL BE CORRECTED.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COMPANY, ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, ENHANCED, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO:
- YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE;

- ANY THIRD-PARTY APPLICATION, SERVICE, MODEL, DOWNLOAD, UPDATE FEED, OPERATING SYSTEM, OR CONTENT; OR
- ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY USER OR THIRD PARTY.
THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATEST OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100.00), (B) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO THE COMPANY FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (C) IF YOU PURCHASED A LIFETIME PLAN, THE ONE-TIME FEE YOU PAID TO THE COMPANY FOR THAT LIFETIME PLAN.
THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, WARRANTY, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS; IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS, LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
12. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its members, managers, directors, officers, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, service providers, successors, and assigns from and against all claims, demands, actions, damages, judgments, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to: (a) your use or misuse of the Service; (b) your local data, dictated content, outputs, Submissions, or third-party application activity; (c) text you dictate, insert, submit, transmit, publish, or store using the Service; (d) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; (e) your violation of any third-party right, policy, license, contract, or consent requirement; (f) your configuration of local or remote LLM endpoints, models, downloads, or third-party services; or (g) your negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud. We may control the defense of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate with us.
13. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES INDIVIDUALLY AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF.
Informal resolution. Before filing a claim, you agree to email us at info@fastproducts.io with your name, contact information, a description of the dispute, and the relief sought, and to allow at least thirty (30) days for informal resolution.
Binding arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its rules then in effect, conducted in Cheyenne, Wyoming, unless the parties agree to remote proceedings. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be allocated under AAA rules unless otherwise required by law.
Class action and representative action waiver. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES' INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLASS MEMBER, OR REPRESENTATIVE IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
Jury trial waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and the Company waive any right to a jury trial for any dispute not subject to arbitration.
Small claims exception. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court in a court of competent jurisdiction if the claim qualifies.
Injunctive relief exception. The Company may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property, confidential information, accounts, infrastructure, security, users, or the Service.
30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to info@fastproducts.io within thirty (30) days of the date you first use the Service, stating your name and your intent to opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other provision of these Terms.
Time limit. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service must be filed within one (1) year after the claim arose, or it is permanently barred.
14. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Service are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. For any action not subject to arbitration, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Wyoming, and you waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue.
15. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not permitted, and the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
16. Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations under them without our prior written consent. We may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, financing, or by operation of law.
17. Entire Agreement; No Waiver
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms presented by us for a specific feature, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver. No waiver is effective unless in writing and signed by the Company.
18. Force Majeure
The Company shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, pandemics, strikes, labor disputes, supply shortages, third-party service failures, model or repository unavailability, internet or power outages, security incidents, governmental action, or shortages of transportation, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.
