Terms of Service & EULA
Last Updated: September 2026 • Version 1.0
1. Agreement to Terms
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Untether ("the Software"), you agree to be legally bound by these Terms of Service and End User License Agreement ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not download, install, or use the Software.
Non-Medical Device Disclaimer
Untether is a generic, assistive voice-to-text dictation utility and NOT a certified medical device.
The Software has not been evaluated, approved, or cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Medicines Agency (EMA), or any other medical regulatory authority under EU MDR 2017/745 or equivalent statutes. The Software is not designed, marketed, or intended to diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent any medical disease or condition, nor to serve as a legal Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. Any clinical templates, SOAP formatting, or medical terminology transcriptions provided by the Software are purely algorithmic suggestions. Healthcare professionals and clinical users retain 100% sole responsibility for reviewing, editing, verifying, and validating all transcribed content before saving, signing, or relying upon it in patient care.
2. "AS-IS" Warranty Disclaimer
Notice to all users:
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS, COPYRIGHT HOLDERS, OR DISTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES, OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.
3. Artificial Intelligence & Hallucination Risk Waiver
Untether utilizes third-party Large Language Models (LLMs) and Speech-to-Text (STT) models to transcribe and format your speech. You explicitly acknowledge that AI models are inherently prone to "hallucinations"—meaning they may omit words, change words, or invent context that was never spoken.
You are 100% responsible for reading, reviewing, and verifying every single word output by the Software before saving, sending, or executing it. Under no circumstances shall Untether be liable for any damages resulting from transcription errors, including but not limited to catastrophic medical errors, legal misstatements, or corrupted code.
4. Independent Intellectual Property & Institutional Disclaimer
The Software is an independently developed, general-purpose productivity tool. It is solely owned by Alexander Eriksen. You acknowledge and agree that the Software was developed entirely independently of, and without the resources of, any university, hospital, employer, or academic institution. No external institution, including but not limited to the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) or Odense University Hospital (OUH), holds any patent, copyright, or intellectual property rights over the Software.
5. Trial, Licensing, and No-Refund Policy
Untether provides a generous 7-day unconditional free trial of all Pro features, followed by a permanent free tier for core dictation. Because you have ample opportunity to evaluate the Software before purchase, all sales of the Untether Pro Lifetime license are final and 100% non-refundable.
A single Pro license grants you the right to activate the Software on up to three (3) personal computers that you own. You may not distribute, resell, or share your license key. Any attempt to reverse engineer, bypass, or crack the LemonSqueezy license validation mechanism will result in immediate and permanent revocation of your license without notice or refund.
6. API Dependency & Uptime
The Software acts as a local client that passes your audio and text to third-party APIs (e.g., Groq, OpenAI). We do not control these providers. Untether makes absolutely no guarantees regarding the uptime, availability, or future pricing of these third-party APIs. If Groq or any other provider changes their pricing model, degrades their service, or ceases operations, Untether shall not be held liable, and you are not entitled to a refund.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the developer, Alexander Eriksen, Untether, or its distributors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, loss of data, loss of profits, business interruption, clinical errors, malpractice claims, or equipment damage) however caused and on any theory of liability.
In all circumstances, total aggregate liability arising out of or related to the Software—whether in contract, tort, or otherwise—shall not exceed the amount actually paid by you for the Software, capped at a maximum of USD $29.00.
8. Wiretapping & Audio Recording Consent
You represent and warrant that your use of the Software complies with all federal, state, local, and international laws regarding wiretapping, eavesdropping, and electronic audio recording (including one-party and two-party consent statutes). You agree that you are solely responsible for obtaining any necessary consents from all participating speakers (e.g., in meetings or patient encounters) before capturing or processing audio using the Software.
9. Open Source Attributions
Untether bundles and links to open-source libraries, each governed by its respective license (e.g., MIT, BSD, Apache 2.0). Full copies of all third-party licenses are included in the application's root directory under LICENSES.txt and accessible via the in-app Studio.
