YapAlert Terms of Service

Last Updated: April 3, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of YapAlert (the "App" or "Service"), which is owned and operated by Space Sweater, LLC ("Space Sweater," "we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using YapAlert, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Your use of the Service is also subject to our Privacy Policy.

1. Eligibility

YapAlert is a general-audience service and is not directed to children under 13.

You must be at least 13 years old to use YapAlert. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use the Service only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

If you purchase a subscription or other paid feature, you represent that you are authorized to make that purchase.

2. The Service

YapAlert helps users analyze speaking behavior, pace, talk share, and related meeting patterns. The Service may include, now or in the future:

  • speaking analytics and coaching;
  • voiceprint setup and speaker recognition features;
  • local or iCloud-backed meeting history;
  • subscriptions or paid features;
  • transcripts or transcript-related features;
  • AI Practice Mode or other AI-powered features; and
  • related websites, support channels, and online services.

We may change, improve, add, suspend, or remove features at any time.

3. License

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use YapAlert for your personal internal use on devices you own or control, in accordance with these Terms and any applicable platform rules.

This license does not give you ownership of the Service or any of its software, content, design, branding, or intellectual property.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • use the Service in violation of any law, regulation, contract, or workplace policy;
  • use the Service to infringe, misappropriate, or violate the rights of others;
  • copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Service, except where prohibited by law;
  • interfere with the operation, security, or integrity of the Service;
  • use the Service for unlawful surveillance, harassment, fraud, or harmful conduct; or
  • use bots, scripts, or automated methods to access or misuse the Service in unauthorized ways.

5. Recording, Monitoring, and Consent

You are solely responsible for determining whether your use of YapAlert is lawful where you are located and where the people around you are located.

You are also solely responsible for:

  • giving any notices required before monitoring, recording, transcribing, or analyzing audio;
  • obtaining any consent required by applicable law, contract, employer policy, school policy, or meeting rules;
  • using the Service only in places and contexts where its use is permitted; and
  • ensuring that optional features such as recordings, transcripts, AI Practice Mode, or exports are used lawfully and appropriately.

We do not provide legal advice about recording consent, workplace compliance, or privacy law. If you are unsure, do not use the relevant feature until you have confirmed that your use is permitted.

6. Your Content and Inputs

You may provide or create content through the Service, including profile names, meeting names, voice samples, transcripts, prompts, AI conversations, and other inputs or outputs ("User Content").

You retain whatever ownership rights you have in your User Content. However, you grant us and our service providers a limited license to host, store, copy, transmit, process, analyze, and use User Content as necessary to operate, maintain, improve, secure, and provide the Service and the features you choose to use.

You represent and warrant that you have all rights, permissions, and authority necessary to provide and use your User Content in connection with the Service.

7. Subscriptions and Payments

Some features of YapAlert may require a paid subscription or purchase.

At launch, paid features may be offered through the Apple App Store. If we add other purchase methods later, those purchases may be subject to additional terms presented at the time of purchase.

If you subscribe through Apple:

  • billing, renewals, cancellations, refunds, and payment processing are handled by Apple under Apple's terms and policies;
  • subscriptions may renew automatically unless canceled before renewal; and
  • you can manage your subscription through your Apple account settings.

We may suspend or limit access to paid features if payment fails, a subscription ends, or we reasonably suspect fraud or abuse.

8. Third-Party Services

YapAlert may rely on third-party services, including Apple services, subscription providers, analytics and diagnostics providers, attribution or marketing partners, and optional AI, speech, transcription, or cloud-processing providers.

Your use of third-party services may also be governed by those third parties' terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party products or services except as required by law.

9. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with YapAlert. By using the Service, you acknowledge that we may process information as described in the Privacy Policy.

10. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, branding, logos, and other content, is owned by Space Sweater or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property and other laws.

Except for the limited license granted in these Terms, no rights are granted to you.

11. Disclaimers

YapAlert is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis to the fullest extent permitted by law. We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

We do not guarantee that:

  • the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free;
  • the Service will always work with your device, audio environment, accessories, or network;
  • speaking metrics, pace estimates, transcripts, AI outputs, alerts, or other results will be accurate, complete, or reliable; or
  • the Service will meet your particular business, legal, workplace, educational, or personal needs.

YapAlert is an informational and coaching tool only. It is not legal, compliance, employment, HR, medical, therapeutic, or safety advice, and it is not intended for emergency or high-risk use.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Space Sweater and its owners, officers, employees, contractors, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, or business opportunities, arising out of or related to your use of the Service.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of:

  • the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim; or
  • fifty U.S. dollars (US $50).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Space Sweater and its affiliates, owners, officers, employees, contractors, licensors, and service providers from and against claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to:

  • your use of the Service;
  • your User Content;
  • your violation of these Terms; or
  • your violation of any law, regulation, contract, policy, or the rights of another person.

14. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time.

We may suspend or terminate your access to all or part of the Service at any time, with or without notice, if:

  • you violate these Terms;
  • we believe your use creates risk for us, users, or third parties;
  • we are required to do so by law; or
  • we discontinue the Service or a part of it.

Upon termination, the license granted to you under these Terms ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including sections relating to privacy, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and miscellaneous terms.

15. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

Except where applicable law provides otherwise, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Monroe County, New York, and you and we consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable consumer rights you may have under applicable law.

16. Apple App Store Terms

If you downloaded YapAlert from the Apple App Store:

  • these Terms are between you and Space Sweater, not Apple;
  • Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the Service except as required by law;
  • Apple is not responsible for addressing claims relating to the Service or your possession or use of it, except as required by law; and
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated Terms and update the "Last Updated" date above. By continuing to use the Service after the updated Terms become effective, you agree to the revised Terms.

18. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any other terms presented to you for specific features, are the entire agreement between you and Space Sweater regarding the Service.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar transaction.
