Welcome to Spoken Content. These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Spoken Content application, website, and related services. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Spoken Content, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the application.
Spoken Content is designed to help people finish reading by transforming written content into spoken audio.

These Terms govern your use of Spoken Content ("Spoken Content," "we," "our," or "the Developer"). The Developer is Michael Kentrock.
Spoken Content is licensed, not sold, to you for your personal or business use in accordance with these Terms and any applicable Apple App Store terms.
You agree to use Spoken Content only in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, contractual obligations, workplace policies, and the rights of others.
You may not use Spoken Content to:
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to Spoken Content if we reasonably believe these Terms or applicable laws have been violated.
You retain ownership of all text, documents, notes, articles, communications, PDFs, images, and other materials that you paste, import, scan, digitize, or otherwise use with Spoken Content ("User Content").
Using Spoken Content does not transfer ownership of your content to us.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that you have the legal right and any necessary permissions to use your content within the application.
You agree that your use of User Content complies with all applicable laws, copyright requirements, privacy obligations, contractual agreements, workplace policies, and any other legal restrictions that apply to your content.
Spoken Content is designed with a privacy-focused, primarily on-device architecture. Because of this design, we generally do not have access to your User Content and are typically unable to:
You assume all responsibility for the content you choose to use with Spoken Content, including its legality, accuracy, ownership, confidentiality, and appropriate use.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for claims arising from your User Content, including claims relating to copyright infringement, intellectual property, confidentiality, privacy, or unauthorized use.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Developer, Spoken Content, its licensors, affiliates, contractors, employees, and successors from claims, damages, liabilities, expenses, or legal costs arising from your User Content or your violation of these Terms.
Certain features of Spoken Content require Digital Energy ("Energy") to operate. Energy enables specific processing and reading capabilities within the application and may be offered for purchase through Apple's In-App Purchase system.
Digital Energy is a limited-use digital access mechanism that unlocks certain capabilities of Spoken Content. Energy:
Energy packages, pricing, processing capacity, features, and availability may change, be suspended, replaced, or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
We are under no obligation to continue offering any specific Energy level, pricing structure, research preview, feature, or capability.
All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store and are subject to Apple's terms, payment policies, and applicable platform rules.
Spoken Content does not process or store your payment information.
When your available Energy has been exhausted, Energy-dependent functionality will stop until additional Energy is acquired through an available purchase option.
Certain features of Spoken Content require Energy to function. Continued use of those features may require additional purchases.
Energy is intended to remain associated with the device and application installation through which it was acquired.
If the application is deleted, reset, removed, or otherwise becomes unavailable, associated Energy may become inaccessible or unrecoverable.
From time to time, Spoken Content may offer optional auto-renewing subscriptions through Apple's In-App Purchase system. Subscriptions are optional and are not required for the application's core reading functionality.
When available, a subscription may unlock additional capabilities, productivity features, processing mechanisms, integrations, higher usage limits, early access to new functionality, or other subscription benefits while your subscription remains active. Available subscription benefits may change at any time.
Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You may manage, upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple Account subscription settings. Billing, renewals, payment processing, and refunds are handled by Apple and are subject to Apple's applicable terms and policies.
By purchasing a subscription, you acknowledge and agree that recurring charges will apply until the subscription is cancelled. You are responsible for managing your subscription, renewal dates, billing preferences, and cancellation through your Apple Account.
If you do not expect to use Spoken Content over a longer period of time, we recommend selecting a shorter subscription term rather than a longer-term subscription. You may change your subscription option at any time, subject to Apple's available offerings.
Subscription benefits remain available only while an active subscription is maintained. If your subscription expires or is cancelled, subscription-only capabilities may no longer be available, while the application's standard functionality will continue to operate according to its applicable requirements.
Because Spoken Content is designed with a privacy-focused, primarily on-device architecture, we generally do not maintain individualized records of how Energy has been consumed.
Accordingly, except where required by applicable law or Apple's platform policies, purchases of Digital Energy are final and non-refundable.
No refunds, credits, replacements, reimbursements, or exchanges will be provided for partially used, fully used, lost, inaccessible, expired, or deleted Energy.
Nothing in this section limits any consumer rights that cannot legally be waived under applicable law or Apple's platform policies.

Spoken Content is intended as a productivity tool and must not be relied upon in emergency, medical, legal, financial, navigation, safety-critical, or other situations where errors could result in injury, property damage, financial loss, or other harm.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Spoken Content is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, availability, accuracy, non-infringement, or uninterrupted operation.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Michael Kentrock, the Developer, shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, exemplary, punitive, or special damages arising from or relating to:
Some jurisdictions do not permit certain warranty exclusions or limitations of liability. In those jurisdictions, these limitations apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Spoken Content is a productivity application designed to help users consume written information more efficiently.
The application does not provide legal, medical, accounting, financial, tax, investment, employment, regulatory, emergency, safety, or other professional advice.
You remain solely responsible for obtaining appropriate professional advice and independently verifying any information before making decisions based upon it.
Performance may vary depending on your device, operating system version, available storage, battery health, accessibility settings, network conditions, background applications, and other factors outside our control.
Long periods of continuous use may increase processor utilization, battery consumption, storage activity, memory usage, or device temperature.
We cannot guarantee uninterrupted performance under every hardware configuration or operating condition.
You are responsible for operating your device in accordance with Apple's recommendations and maintaining safe operating conditions.
If your device becomes unusually warm, displays thermal warnings, limits performance, or otherwise indicates excessive heat, you should stop using the application and allow the device to cool before continuing.
Modern Apple devices may automatically reduce processing performance, suspend background activity, or limit charging when elevated temperatures are detected. These behaviors are controlled by the operating system and hardware and are outside our control.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Developer, shall not be liable for battery consumption, battery degradation, reduced performance, thermal management behavior, operating system intervention, or other resource-related effects associated with normal use of Spoken Content.
We welcome your suggestions, feature requests, bug reports, reviews, ratings, and other feedback regarding Spoken Content.
Unless we agree otherwise in writing, any feedback you voluntarily provide may be used by the Developer to improve, develop, market, support, or operate Spoken Content without compensation, attribution, royalty, or any obligation to you.
Submitting feedback does not create any ownership interest, partnership, employment relationship, or expectation that a particular feature will be implemented.
Spoken Content and its associated technology, intellectual property, and assets may be sold, licensed, assigned, reorganized, transferred, or become part of a merger, acquisition, financing, or other corporate transaction.
If such an event occurs, these Terms, together with any rights and obligations relating to Spoken Content, may be transferred to the successor or acquiring entity to the extent permitted by applicable law.
The successor entity may continue operating, modifying, licensing, supporting, rebranding, expanding, or discontinuing Spoken Content and may update these Terms as permitted by law.
We may revise these Terms from time to time to reflect improvements to Spoken Content, changes in applicable law, changes to our business, or changes to the services we provide.
Updated Terms become effective when published unless otherwise required by applicable law.
Your continued use of Spoken Content after revised Terms become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
