Terms of Use

Effective July 27, 2026 · Operator: Takashi Nakano

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern the use of wayaknow (“the App”). By using the App, you agree to these Terms. These Terms supplement Apple’s standard End User License Agreement (“EULA”) that applies to the App through the App Store. If they conflict, applicable law and Apple’s standard EULA control.

1. What the App does

The App is a tool for transcribing, translating, and summarizing audio selected by the user on the device. On macOS, system audio playing on the Mac can be processed only when explicitly selected by the user.

The App does not provide third-party video, music, meeting, or other services and does not claim affiliation with, endorsement by, or approval from such services.

2. Audio you may use

You may use the App only with audio that meets at least one of the following conditions:

• Audio for which you own the necessary rights.
• Audio for which you have permission to transcribe, translate, summarize, save, or share.
• Meetings, lectures, or conversations for which required participant consent to recording or processing has been obtained.
• Audio whose use in this manner is clearly permitted by copyright or other applicable law.

You are responsible for reviewing the source service’s terms, content license, copyright and neighboring rights, privacy, publicity rights, trade secrets, confidentiality obligations, organizational rules, and applicable law.

3. Prohibited conduct

• Processing, saving, sharing, publishing, selling, or distributing audio without the required rights, permission, or consent.
• Violating a third-party service’s terms or content license.
• Circumventing, disabling, or interfering with DRM, encryption, copy protection, access controls, or other technical protection measures.
• Infringing privacy, copyright, or other rights.
• Illegal recording, eavesdropping, surveillance, harassment, impersonation, or other unlawful conduct.
• Using the App for a purpose contrary to law or public order.
• Disrupting the App, improperly reverse engineering it, or compromising its security.

4. Transcription, translation, summaries, and saved text

Transcripts, translations, and summaries may contain recognition errors, mistranslations, omissions, or inaccuracies. For decisions, contracts, medical or legal matters, safety, or any use requiring accuracy, verify the original audio and consult an appropriate professional.

You are responsible for text you save or share. A transcript made for private use is not necessarily permitted for sharing, internal distribution, publication, or sale.

5. Privacy and consent

Before processing a meeting, lecture, or conversation, provide any required notice and obtain any required consent under applicable law and organizational rules. See the Privacy Policy for data-handling details.

6. In-app purchase

The App offers the non-consumable, one-time in-app purchase “wayaknow Full Access.” Purchase, billing, refunds, and restoration follow Apple’s systems and terms. Unlocked features are shown in the App Store description and the purchase screen in the App.

7. Intellectual property

Rights in the App, icon, design, software, and operator-created documentation belong to the operator or their lawful owners. The App and operator do not acquire new rights in audio or text you process. This also does not mean that you acquire rights in third-party content.

8. Changes and discontinuation

The operator may change, limit, or discontinue features for quality, safety, legal compliance, changes to operating systems or Apple frameworks, or other reasonable causes.

9. Warranty and liability

To the extent permitted by law, the App is provided “as is.” The operator does not guarantee completeness, accuracy, uninterrupted operation, fitness for a particular purpose, or availability with a third-party service. Except for intentional misconduct, gross negligence, or where liability cannot legally be limited, the operator is not liable beyond the extent permitted by law for loss arising from use or inability to use the App.

10. Changes to these Terms

These Terms may be updated as the App, law, or regulations change. Material changes will be announced on this page or by another appropriate method, and the effective date will be updated.

11. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by Japanese law. Unless applicable law provides otherwise, the courts of Japan with jurisdiction over the operator’s location have agreed first-instance jurisdiction over disputes relating to the App.
