Talk and Type

Legal

Terms of Sale & Licence

Plain English, because you should be able to read this in a couple of minutes.

There are two relationships here. Your purchase contract is with Polar Software, Inc.. Your licence to use the software is with us.

Polar Software, Inc. is the seller of record for Talk and Type Desktop Pro. They take the payment, charge and remit any applicable tax, issue your invoice, and process refunds — their name, not ours, appears on your invoice. These terms cover the other half: what the software is, and what you may do with it.

01Who we are

Talk and Type is a product of Max's Enterprises Pty Ltd, trading as Talk and Type, a company registered in New South Wales, Australia. ABN 82 002 434 577.

In these terms, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Max's Enterprises Pty Ltd. You can reach us at help@talkandtype.com.

02What you're buying

Talk and Type Desktop Pro is a perpetual, non-transferable licence to use the Pro features of Talk and Type on up to 3 Macs that you own or control.

It is a one-time payment of A$19.99 (about US$13). There is no subscription, no renewal and no expiry date. Once your licence is active, it stays active.

The free features of Talk and Type remain free and require no licence at all. You are never required to buy anything to keep using what you already use.

03What you may not do

You may not:

  • Resell, sublicense, rent or share your licence key.
  • Circumvent, disable or work around the licensing in the app.
  • Redistribute the application, modified or otherwise.

If a licence key is shared publicly or used in a way that breaches these terms, we may deactivate it.

04How the licence is enforced

Activating your licence contacts Polar Software, Inc. once, to confirm the key is valid and to record the activation. After that, the app works offline — indefinitely.

We do not monitor how you use the app, and the app sends us no telemetry. There is no account, and there is no usage reporting.

05Updates

Updates to the 1.x line are delivered free through the in-app updater. We will keep improving the app, but we do not guarantee any specific future feature, and nothing described as planned or coming should be read as a promise of a delivery date.

06Your privacy

Your dictation and audio never leave your device. We do not receive it, store it or process it — there is nothing for us to hand over, because we never had it.

The full detail is in our privacy policy.

07Warranties and liability

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For a major failure you are entitled to a replacement or a refund, and to compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods remedied if they are not of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies those guarantees, or any other right you have that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Subject to that, the software is provided “as is” to the extent permitted by law, and our total liability to you in connection with the software or these terms is limited to the amount you paid for your licence.

08Refunds

We offer a 14-day refund, no questions asked. The detail — and how to ask — is on our refund policy page.

09Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and the courts of that state have jurisdiction.

10Changes to these terms

If we change these terms, the change applies to purchases made after the change. The terms that applied when you bought your licence continue to apply to that licence.
