Terms of Use
These Terms govern the VotoText application (the “App”) provided by Mintier Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”).
Effective date: October 23, 2026
1. Scope and service
These Terms govern VotoText (the “App”) provided by Mintier Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”). Review and agree to them before using the App. Features may include recording, importing local audio, on-device AI speech recognition, displaying, editing, copying and sharing transcripts, and downloading additional models. Availability on a particular device, operating system or market is not guaranteed.
2. Accounts and requirements
No VotoText account registration is required. App-store accounts may be required for purchases. Users are responsible for compatible devices, storage, power, network charges, supported operating systems, microphone access, permissions and connectivity. Model downloads may require significant network data and storage.
3. Recording and third-party rights
Users must obtain all permissions and consents required by applicable law for recording, importing, transcribing, storing and sharing audio. The App must not be used for unlawful covert recordings, illegal acquisition of others’ conversations, infringement of copyright, privacy, trade secrets or other rights, or any unlawful purpose. Rights in audio and transcripts remain with their lawful owners and do not transfer to us merely through App use.
4. Accuracy and required verification
AI transcription may contain incorrect words, omissions, repetitions, speaker confusion, mistakes in numbers, names, dates, amounts, units or negations, punctuation errors and altered meaning. Noise, multiple speakers, pronunciation, dialect, language selection, recording quality, formats and model behavior may affect results and processing time. We do not guarantee accuracy, completeness, consistency, translation quality, speaker separation, processing times or fitness for a particular purpose. Users must independently verify the accuracy, completeness and suitability of transcription results and correct them where necessary. Use of transcription results, and decisions or actions based on them, are the user’s own responsibility. We make no guarantee regarding transcription accuracy, completeness, suitability for any particular purpose or outcomes of use.
5. On-device processing, files and backups
Speech recognition generally runs on-device, but advertising, billing, model downloads, support and user-selected external sharing require network communications. Users are responsible for managing, saving, deleting and backing up source files, recordings, temporary files, transcripts and shared copies. Data may be lost due to device faults, uninstallation, insufficient storage or operating-system cleanup. We do not provide a cloud recovery service for recordings or transcripts.
6. Free access and ads
Free access is supported by advertisements. Free users may need an internet connection to load advertising before using models or accessing transcription results. Some free actions may be unavailable when the connection or advertising is unavailable. Pro supports offline use without the ad requirement when the required model is installed on the device. Free features, ad formats and operating conditions may change reasonably in accordance with applicable law.
7. VotoText Pro and lifetime purchases
VotoText Pro is available as an annual subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase through purchasing channels designated by us. Pro benefits include removal of ads and offline use when the required model is installed. Confirm price, currency, billing cycle, benefits and conditions at checkout. A lifetime purchase provides an entitlement to the purchased VotoText Pro product; it does not guarantee perpetual operation of the App, every future feature at no extra charge, or transfer to another OS or store. Promises made at purchase and mandatory statutory rights remain protected.
8. Subscription renewal and cancellation
Annual subscriptions renew automatically under the terms shown at purchase, and renewal charges apply unless canceled by the applicable deadline. Cancel using the subscription management method provided by the app store, payment service or other channel designated by us for the purchase. Uninstalling the App does not cancel a subscription. Access after cancellation, refunds and other conditions are governed by the disclosures at purchase, applicable purchasing-channel rules and applicable law.
9. Restoration, refunds and misuse
Restoration depends on the original purchasing account, store records, payment status and verification requirements. Transfers between stores, platforms and unrelated accounts are not guaranteed. Billing, taxes, receipts, refunds, cancellations and disputes follow store procedures and applicable law. Mandatory refund and consumer rights are preserved. We may restrict access in accordance with law for fraudulent, refunded or otherwise invalid entitlements.
10. Prohibited conduct and restrictions
Unlawful recording, wiretapping, unauthorized surveillance, impersonation, fraud, harassment, violations of others’ rights, unauthorized collection or disclosure of personal or confidential information, malware, tampering with billing, ads or license protections, interference with App operations and other unlawful conduct are prohibited. For material breaches, misuse or security threats, we may apply necessary and proportionate access restrictions in accordance with law and purchase terms.
11. Software and third-party technology
IP rights in the App, software, interface and marks remain with us or their licensors. Users receive a non-exclusive, nontransferable license for lawful use, subject to any overriding open-source or third-party licenses. Speech engines, models, stores, ad services and sharing destinations may be subject to their providers’ terms.
12. Changes, suspension and discontinuation
We may reasonably revise, suspend or end features or availability for maintenance, technical limitations, security, model and hosting changes, third-party discontinuation, legal requirements or legitimate business reasons. Existing paid purchase commitments and mandatory notice, refund or other legal obligations remain applicable.
13. Warranty and liability
To the extent permitted by law, we do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, compatibility with every device, accurate AI output or fitness for a particular purpose. We are not legally responsible for loss where no cause legally attributable to us exists. If our ordinary negligence causes compensable loss, liability is limited to ordinary and direct damages to the extent legally permitted. No limitation applies to intentional misconduct or gross negligence by us, our representatives or employees, or when the Consumer Contract Act or other mandatory law prohibits limiting liability.
14. User breaches and disputes
Users are responsible, as provided by law, for disputes and losses caused by their breach of these Terms or infringement of others’ rights, except to the extent attributable to us.
15. Privacy and changes to Terms
Handling of user information is governed by the VotoText Privacy Policy. We may amend these Terms for changes in law, services, transaction conditions or other reasonable circumstances in compliance with the Civil Code and applicable law, with advance notice of changes and their effective date where required.
16. Governing law, language and jurisdiction
Japanese law governs. Parties should seek an amicable resolution, and litigation shall be brought in a court with jurisdiction under applicable law. Mandatory consumer rights are preserved. The Japanese text is the authoritative version and controls over English or other translations to the extent permitted by law.
