What using YapperNotes means.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the YapperNotes app and related services (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
1. Who Can Use YapperNotes
You may use the Service only if you can legally enter into a binding agreement in your jurisdiction. If you use YapperNotes on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you are authorized to accept these Terms for that organization.
2. Accounts and Access
You are responsible for your account credentials and for activity under your account. YapperNotes uses Firebase Authentication for account access and does not use phone numbers for sign-in.
3. Service Overview
YapperNotes is a note and study assistant. It helps you create, organize, and manage notebook content. Some features use AI models, including Gemini, to produce chat responses, summaries, and structured study content.
4. Your Content and Ownership
You keep ownership of the content you create or upload. You grant YapperNotes a limited license to host, process, and transmit that content only as needed to provide, secure, and improve the Service.
5. Data Handling in the Service
- Notebook content may be stored using Firebase services.
- Audio recordings are not stored in Firebase Storage.
- When you use AI features, relevant text content may be sent to Gemini for processing.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree not to: violate laws, attempt unauthorized access, interfere with Service operations, upload malicious code, or use the Service to harm others or infringe intellectual property rights.
7. AI Features Disclaimer
AI outputs can be incomplete or incorrect. You are responsible for reviewing generated content before relying on it, especially in academic, legal, financial, medical, or other high-impact contexts.
8. Paid Features and Billing
If paid features are offered, billing and refunds are generally handled by the platform you purchase through (for example, Apple App Store), subject to that platform's terms.
9. Suspension and Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if needed to protect users, comply with law, investigate abuse, or enforce these Terms.
10. Warranty Disclaimer and Liability Limit
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" to the extent permitted by law. To the extent permitted by law, YapperNotes is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.
11. Updates to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after updates means you accept the revised Terms.

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in effect.
