End User License Agreement — Inkrest

Last updated: [EFFECTIVE DATE]

This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a legal agreement between you and Lampblack Labs LLC ("Licensor") for the Inkrest software, including updates and documentation ("Software").

1. License grant

Licensor grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Software on the number of devices permitted by your license tier (as stated at purchase), for your personal or internal business use, subject to this Agreement.

2. Restrictions

You may not: (a) redistribute, resell, rent, lease, or sublicense the Software; (b) reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by applicable law; (c) circumvent or disable the licensing, trial, or update mechanisms; or (d) remove proprietary notices.

3. Ownership

The Software is licensed, not sold. Licensor retains all rights not expressly granted.

4. On-device processing; your content

The Software processes audio and produces transcripts on your device. You own your content. Licensor does not access, collect, or store your audio or transcripts (see our Privacy Policy).

5. Third-party components and AI models

The Software includes third-party open-source components under their respective licenses (including WhisperKit, MLX, swift-transformers, FluidAudio, Sparkle, and others; see the in-app Acknowledgements and THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES). AI model weights are not distributed with or by the Software — the Software downloads them directly to your device from Hugging Face on first use, and your download and use of those weights is governed by the model providers' own terms. In particular, the default refinement model, Google Gemma 4, is licensed by Google under the Apache License 2.0 (https://ai.google.dev/gemma/docs/gemma_4_license). The NVIDIA Parakeet speech model is licensed under CC-BY-4.0; the Whisper, Qwen, and SmolLM models under their respective open-source licenses (MIT and Apache 2.0). You are responsible for complying with all such terms.

6. Updates

The Software may check for and install updates. You may disable automatic checks in settings where available.

7. Disclaimer of warranty

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. AI-generated transcription and refinement may be inaccurate; review output before relying on it.

8. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LICENSOR IS NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST DATA OR PROFITS. LICENSOR'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY IS LIMITED AND CAPPED AS SET OUT IN SECTION 9 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) OF OUR TERMS OF SERVICE, WHICH APPLIES TO THIS AGREEMENT AND IS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. Nothing in this Agreement excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation), or any non-waivable consumer rights you have under mandatory law.

8a. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you will indemnify and hold harmless Licensor and its member, officers, and agents from any third-party claim, loss, liability, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from (a) your use of the Software in violation of this Agreement or law; (b) your violation of any third-party right or of the AI model providers' terms (including the applicable open-source license terms of the AI models); or (c) content you create or process using the Software. This Section does not override non-waivable consumer protections.

9. Termination

This Agreement terminates automatically if you breach it. On termination you must stop using and delete the Software.

10. Export and compliance

You represent that you are not located in a U.S.-embargoed or sanctioned country or region and are not on any U.S. government restricted-party list.

11. Governing law and disputes

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA. For U.S. residents, disputes are subject to binding individual arbitration and a class-action waiver as set out in our Terms of Service (Section 10a), with a 30-day opt-out. Nothing here limits the non-waivable consumer rights described in our Terms of Service (Section 8a).
