Minutely Terms of Use

Effective date: June 10, 2026 · Last updated: June 10, 2026

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are an agreement between you and the developer of the Minutely app (“we”). By installing or using the app you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

1. Service description

Minutely is an iPhone app that records or imports audio, recognizes speech as text (transcription), and uses artificial-intelligence models to produce concise summaries, action items, and answers to questions about the recording’s content. By default, all processing is performed locally on your device. Optionally, you may connect third-party cloud services (Deepgram, OpenRouter) using your own API keys — see the Privacy Policy.

2. Free tier and the Minutely Pro subscription

The app’s core features are available free of charge within a monthly quota. Extended access is provided through the auto-renewable Minutely Pro subscription:

Prices are stated in US dollars and may vary depending on the country and currency of your Apple ID; the exact price is displayed in the app before you confirm a purchase. Plans and pricing may change; price changes for an active subscription take effect only with your consent, following App Store rules.

2.1. Payment and auto-renewal

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase in the App Store.
• The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• The renewal charge is applied to your account within 24 hours before the end of the current period, at the price of the selected plan.
• If a plan includes a free trial, any unused portion of the trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. When the trial ends, the subscription automatically converts to a paid one unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the trial period.

2.2. Managing and canceling the subscription

• You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal at any time in your device settings: Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions, or in the App Store → profile → Subscriptions.
• Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription.
• After cancellation, Pro access remains active until the end of the already-paid period; no refunds are provided for the unused portion of a period, except where required by Apple’s policies or applicable law. Refund requests are handled by Apple: support.apple.com/billing.

2.3. Restoring purchases

If you reinstall the app or switch devices, an active subscription can be restored with the “Restore Purchases” button in the app when signed in with the same Apple ID. No additional fee is charged for restoring.

3. AI content: accuracy disclaimer

Transcripts, summaries, action items, and chat answers are generated automatically by speech-recognition systems and language models. Such content may contain errors, inaccuracies, omissions, and distortions, including misrecognized words, names, numbers, dates, and amounts. AI content is provided “as is”, for reference purposes only, and does not constitute professional (legal, medical, financial, or other) advice.

Before making decisions based on a transcript or summary, verify it against the original audio recording. We are not responsible for decisions made based on automatically generated content.

4. Acceptable use

You agree to use the app only in a lawful manner. In particular, you agree:

• not to record people without their consent where such consent is required. Recording laws vary by country and region (some jurisdictions require the consent of all parties to a conversation). You are solely responsible for complying with applicable laws on recording, eavesdropping, and processing third parties’ personal data;
• not to use the app for surveillance, stalking, harassment, blackmail, or any other violation of third parties’ rights;
• not to record or process content that infringes others’ intellectual-property rights or violates the law;
• not to attempt to decompile or modify the app, or to circumvent technical restrictions (including quotas and subscription access), except as expressly permitted by law;
• when using cloud mode — to comply with the terms of the respective providers (Deepgram, OpenRouter).

5. Your content

All recordings, transcripts, and summaries created in the app belong to you. We acquire no rights to them — they are stored only on your device. You are solely responsible for their content and for backing them up.

6. Third-party services

Optional cloud features rely on third-party services (Deepgram, OpenRouter), with which you interact directly using your own API keys. We do not control these services and are not responsible for their availability, quality, pricing, or data handling, and we are not a party to your agreement with them. Purchases and subscriptions are processed by Apple; subscription status is serviced by RevenueCat (see the Privacy Policy).

7. Intellectual property

The app, its design, texts, graphics, and the Minutely trademark belong to the developer and are protected by intellectual-property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the app on Apple devices that you own or control, in accordance with these Terms and the EULA.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The app is provided “as is” and “as available”, without any warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will operate without errors or interruptions, that transcription will be accurate, or that AI models will be available for download at any given time.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or punitive damages, lost profits, loss of data, or loss of goodwill arising from the use of, or inability to use, the app. The developer’s aggregate liability for any claims related to the app is limited to the amount you actually paid for the subscription in the 12 months preceding the claim (or $50 if you paid nothing).

Nothing in these Terms limits the rights granted to you by mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country.

10. Termination

You may stop using the app at any time by deleting it from your device (remember to cancel your subscription if needed — see Section 2.2). We may terminate or suspend your license in the event of a material breach of these Terms.

11. Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The new version is published on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We will additionally highlight material changes in the app or in an update’s release notes. Continued use of the app after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the new version.
