# SpeechBee terms

Effective August 9, 2026. These terms describe SpeechBee purchases, access, and
platform availability.

## Product access

SpeechBee provides local dictation on supported Apple devices after an approved
speech model downloads. It does not promise cloud transcription, uninterrupted
background execution, or equal model accuracy for every language, accent,
device, or environment.

## Optional Apple cleanup

Optional Apple Foundation Models cleanup is off by default and available only
when the operating system reports its on-device model and current language
ready. It can change wording, may be unavailable or canceled, and is subject to
conservative validation. SpeechBee falls back to deterministic cleanup after
ordinary unavailability or rejected output and never falls back to cloud. Raw
and deterministic versions are available only through the bounded current-result
and keyboard-revert controls described in the app.

## Plans and devices

The approved US offer is $9 monthly, $59 annually, or $99 for lifetime access.
The same product features are intended for each payment option, subject to model
and hardware qualification. Active App Store subscriptions work across all of a
user's devices where SpeechBee is available. Direct and non-subscription account
access supports up to five active personal devices. Family Sharing is not
included at launch.

Lifetime means continuing ownership of the purchased SpeechBee access, not a
promise that every current operating system, device, model host, or third-party
service will remain available forever. New-device activation and periodic
device validation require a connection.

## Apple purchases

Eligible monthly and annual App Store subscriptions include a 14-day Apple
introductory trial. Apple confirms eligibility and the exact renewal date at
purchase. Cancellation retains access through the verified paid period.
Billing, cancellation, and refund requests for App Store purchases are handled
under Apple's terms.

## Direct purchases

The $99 lifetime purchase charges immediately, does not include a trial, and
includes a 30-day guarantee. The guarantee applies to the initial lifetime
purchase and does not apply to subscription renewals. Seller, tax, support,
refund, and checkout details shown at purchase also apply.

## Account and availability

Cross-platform access uses Sign in with Apple and signed device entitlements.
Verified expiry, refund, revocation, or device deactivation can lock paid voice
features. Settings, local data, export, model management, and a bounded in-app
demonstration remain available. Local data is preserved when paid access
expires.

## Additional terms

Seller identity, governing-law language, tax disclosures, and regional store
terms are shown at purchase where applicable. If checkout terms conflict with
this page, purchase must remain unavailable until the published terms are
corrected.
