1. The service

SayLess lets you record your voice, turns it into text, and rewrites that text in a writing style you choose. It also sorts your notes into topics and keeps track of what’s open, reminds you of what you mention, reads notes aloud and, with Pro, backs up and syncs notes to your account. Without backup, your notes are stored only on your phone, so they can’t be recovered if the phone or the app is lost. Transcription, rewriting, read-aloud and topic summaries are done with AI services from third parties (see the Privacy Policy) and need an internet connection.

2. Topics and reminders

SayLess groups your notes into topics, summarises where each one stands and picks out to-dos, deadlines and times you mention. It can set reminders for you: from a time in a short note (with Instant reminders on) and, with Pro, for deadlines in your topics. All of this is worked out automatically and can be wrong or incomplete: a topic can mix things up, a deadline can be missed or misread, and a reminder can go off at the wrong time or not at all, for example when notifications are off or the phone is switched off. Don’t rely on SayLess alone for anything important, such as medication, appointments or payments. How topics handle your data is explained in the Privacy Policy.

3. Your account

• You need an account, created with your email address or Google account. Keep access to it secure; you’re responsible for what happens in your account.
• You must be at least 16 years old to use SayLess.
• You can delete your account at any time in the app (Account › Delete account).

4. Your content

Your recordings, transcripts and notes belong to you. You give us permission to store, process and transmit them only as needed to provide SayLess to you, for example to transcribe, rewrite and read them aloud, to sort them into topics, and to back them up if you turn that on. We don’t claim ownership of your content and don’t use it for anything else.

5. Recording other people

If your recordings include other people, for example in a meeting, a lecture or a phone call, it’s up to you to follow the law where you and they are, which may mean telling them or asking their permission first. Please respect people who don’t want to be recorded. We can’t check this for you.

6. AI-generated text

Transcripts, rewritten notes, topic summaries and what SayLess notices in your notes are generated automatically and may contain mistakes, leave things out or misunderstand what was said. Always check them before relying on them or sending them to anyone. Styles such as Legal, Medical and Academic only change how text is written: they are not legal, medical, financial or other professional advice.

7. Acceptable use

Don’t use SayLess to:

• break the law or anyone’s rights, including recording people without the consent the law requires (see Recording other people);
• create content that harasses, threatens or exploits others, or that is sexual content involving minors;
• try to get around plan limits, share your account, or resell the service;
• interfere with, overload, reverse engineer or attack SayLess or its providers.

We may limit or suspend accounts that break these rules, and will tell you why unless the law prevents it.

8. Free and Pro

SayLess has a Free plan and a paid Pro plan. The current limits of each, such as recording length and minutes per month, are shown in the app. Pro minutes are meant for fair personal use; if use is far outside normal personal use we may contact you or limit it. We may change what each plan includes; changes that reduce a paid plan take effect at your next renewal, and we’ll tell you beforehand.

Backup & sync is part of Pro. If your Pro subscription ends, we stop backing up, keep the copies in your account for 30 days in case you renew, and then delete them. The notes on your phone are not affected.

To keep SayLess fast and fair for everyone, we may also set reasonable technical limits, such as the longest single recording or how many recordings can be processed at the same time. If a new limit would reduce what you pay for, we’ll tell you before it applies to you.

9. Early-access features

Some features are marked as new, test or beta, and everything in a test version of the app (such as Google Play internal or closed testing) counts as early access. These features may still have bugs, may change, and may be removed without notice. They are provided as they are, and we’re always glad to hear what you think of them.

10. Subscriptions and payment

• Pro is sold as a monthly or yearly subscription through Google Play. Payment, billing and receipts are handled by Google under Google Play’s terms.
• Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period until you cancel. You can cancel anytime in Google Play (Profile › Payments & subscriptions › Subscriptions); Pro stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
• Refunds are handled under Google Play’s refund policy. Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected.
• If we change the price, Google Play will tell you before it applies, and you can cancel before then.
• By starting a subscription you ask us to provide Pro immediately, so the EU 14-day withdrawal right ends once Pro is unlocked, as far as the law allows.

11. Changes to SayLess

We keep improving SayLess and may add, change or remove features. We try to keep the service available but can’t promise it will always work without interruption, for example during maintenance or when a provider is down.

12. Ending your use

You can stop using SayLess and delete your account at any time. We may end or suspend your access if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, or if we stop offering SayLess; in that case we’ll give reasonable notice where possible, so you can copy your notes.

13. Liability

SayLess is provided “as is”. As far as Dutch law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damage, lost data or lost profits, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or €50 if that is higher. Nothing in these terms limits liability for intent or gross negligence, or rights you have as a consumer that can’t be limited.

14. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by Dutch law. Disputes go to the competent court in the Netherlands. If you are a consumer living elsewhere in the EU, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country and may also go to the courts there. Please contact us first; most things can be solved by email.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. For important changes we’ll let you know in the app at least 30 days before they take effect; if you don’t agree, you can stop using SayLess and delete your account.
