Terms of Service

1. Who and what

These terms are between you and Neato Ventures ("we", "us"), Houston, Texas, and cover the Neato Echo desktop application, its installers, updates, and this website ("the Software"). By installing or using the Software you agree to these terms.

2. License

Neato Echo is open-source software released under the MIT License, built on the OpenWhispr project. The MIT License lets you use, copy, modify, and redistribute the source code, subject to keeping its copyright notice. The MIT License text ships with the Software and is available in the source repository.

The names "Neato Echo" and "Neato Ventures", the Neato Echo icon, and this website's design are trademarks and works of Neato Ventures and are not covered by the MIT License. Do not use them to name or brand your own distributions.

3. Paid plans

The Software is currently provided free of charge. If Neato Ventures later offers a paid or lifetime license, its price and terms will be presented before purchase and will apply in addition to these terms.

4. Your data

The Software processes your voice, notes, and calendar data on your own computer. How that works, and the small number of things that do leave your computer, are described in the Privacy Policy. You are responsible for the content you record and for complying with any laws that apply to recording conversations where you are, including obtaining consent from other participants where required.

5. Third-party services

Downloaded models come from their publishers under their own licenses. If you choose to connect a calendar or add a cloud provider API key, your use of that service is governed by that provider's terms, and any fees they charge are between you and them.

6. Acceptable use

Do not use the Software to break the law, to record people without any consent the law requires, or to interfere with the operation of the services it connects to.

7. No warranty

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. Speech recognition and AI summaries can be wrong; review anything important before relying on it.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Neato Ventures is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data or profits, arising from your use of the Software. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us for the Software in the twelve months before the claim, which for a free version is zero.

9. Changes and termination

We may update the Software and these terms. Updated terms are posted here with a new date, and continued use after that constitutes acceptance. You may stop using the Software at any time by uninstalling it.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
