Aide Journal — Terms of Use

Effective date: 21 September 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and SUMMERCLOUDE PTE. LTD. ("we", "us", "our") covering your use of the Aide Journal application for iPhone (the "App"). Please read them before using the App. By downloading, installing or using the App, you agree to them.

1. Relationship to Apple's standard EULA

The App is distributed through the App Store under Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement. These Terms supplement that agreement. Where the two conflict, Apple's agreement governs your licence to use the App. Apple is not a party to these Terms, and Apple has no responsibility for the App or its content.

2. Licence to use the App

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the App on Apple devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service. You may not copy, redistribute, sell, rent, reverse engineer or attempt to derive the source code of the App, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it.

3. The App, in brief

Aide Journal records your voice and turns it into transcribed, polished notes with a title and summary. Transcription and polishing are performed in the cloud; your recordings and notes are stored on your device and are not retained on our servers. See our Privacy Policy.

4. Subscriptions

Aide Journal is a subscription app. Using it requires an active subscription; there is no free tier. Two plans are offered as auto-renewing subscriptions:

• Weekly — billed every week.
• Yearly — billed every year.

The current price of each plan is shown in the app before you subscribe, and is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.

Free trial. The weekly plan may include an introductory free trial for customers who have not used one before, for the period stated in the app at the point of purchase. If you subscribe during a free trial, any unused portion of that trial is forfeited. Eligibility is determined by Apple.

Automatic renewal. Each subscription renews automatically at the end of its period unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period, at the price then shown for your plan.

Cancelling. You can cancel at any time in Settings on your iPhone, under your Apple Account, then Subscriptions. Cancelling stops future renewals; it does not refund the current period, and access continues until that period ends. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.

Changing plan. You may switch between the weekly and yearly plans at any time. Apple applies the change and any proration according to its own rules for the plans concerned.

Payment and refunds. All payment handling is performed by Apple; we never receive your payment details. Purchases are final except where a refund is required by law or granted by Apple under its standard process. Where Apple revokes a purchase, access ends.

Fair use. Subscriptions are for ordinary personal journalling. A generous monthly processing limit applies to prevent automated abuse. No ordinary use reaches it, and we will contact you before restricting an account.

5. Acceptable use

You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and only with audio you have the right to record and process. You must not use the App to process content that is unlawful, or in a way that infringes the rights of others or breaches the terms of the third-party services that power transcription.

6. Your responsibilities

You are responsible for keeping your own copies of anything important. Because notes are stored on your device, deleting the App or the device removes them. We are not able to recover notes that are deleted from your device.

7. Intellectual property

The App, its name, its icon and all associated materials remain our property or that of our licensors, and are protected by copyright and other laws. Content you create with the App is yours.

8. Disclaimer of warranties — "as is"

The App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. Transcription and AI polishing are automated and may contain errors; you are responsible for reviewing output before relying on it. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at all times.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the App. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid for it in the twelve months before the claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

10. Changes to the App and to these Terms

We may update the App, and may change these Terms. The current version is always published on this page with its effective date. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

11. Termination

Your licence ends if you stop using the App or if you breach these Terms. You may end it at any time by deleting the App. Sections 7 to 9 survive termination.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Singapore, and the courts of Singapore have jurisdiction over any dispute, without affecting any mandatory consumer protection rights you have where you live.
