Terms of Service

Last updated: 08.02.2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Codictio desktop application (the "App") for Windows, developed and operated by beProgressive ("we", "us", "our").

Please read these Terms carefully before using the App. By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the App, you confirm that you are at least 13 years of age (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction) and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

If you are using the App on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, by providing notice within the App. Your continued use of the App after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Description of the App

Codictio is an intelligent dictation application for Windows that converts speech to clean, structured text and pastes it into any active input field. The App includes features such as:

  • local speech-to-text transcription (powered by Whisper)
  • AI-powered text cleanup — grammar correction, punctuation, removal of filler words (cloud feature)
  • context-aware accuracy using on-screen information
  • global hotkey activation that works across all Windows applications

The App is provided as a text input tool and is not intended to replace professional advice of any kind.

3. User Accounts

To use cloud AI features, you must sign in with a supported authentication provider (e.g., Google).

If you create an account, you are responsible for:

  • maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
  • all activities that occur under your account
  • notifying us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if we reasonably believe that you have violated these Terms or engaged in fraudulent or illegal activity.

4. Local Data Storage and Data Loss

Your application settings and preferences are stored locally on your device. We do not maintain backups of your local configuration on our servers.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT:

  • Your local settings may be permanently lost if you uninstall the App, clear app data, perform a system reset, or switch to a new device without proper backup.
  • It is your sole responsibility to back up any data that is important to you.
  • We have no obligation to recover, restore, or recreate any lost data.
  • We are not liable for any data loss, regardless of the cause, including but not limited to app updates, device failures, user error, or any other circumstances.

5. AI Features and Disclaimer

The App offers AI-powered features that clean up, format, and enhance transcribed text. Speech recognition is performed locally using Whisper. Text enhancement is powered by third-party cloud AI services.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT:

  • AI-generated text is provided for convenience purposes only.
  • AI text processing may contain errors, inaccuracies, omissions, or produce unexpected results.
  • AI features do not constitute professional, medical, legal, financial, or any other specialized advice.
  • You should not rely on AI-processed text for critical or life-affecting purposes without reviewing it first.
  • You are solely responsible for reviewing and approving all text before use.
  • We are not liable for any actions you take or fail to take based on AI-processed content.

When you use cloud AI features, your transcribed text (not audio) is transmitted to third-party AI providers for processing. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for details on data handling.

Do not dictate sensitive, confidential, or personally identifiable information when using cloud AI features. We are not responsible for any disclosure of information you choose to submit through the App.

6. Subscriptions and Payments

The App offers local speech-to-text functionality for free. Cloud AI text enhancement requires either an active trial or a paid subscription ("Codictio Pro" or higher plans).

6.1. Free Trial

New users may receive a free trial of cloud AI features, subject to time and usage limits. The trial is limited to one per device and user account. Circumventing trial restrictions (e.g., through reinstallation or multiple accounts on the same hardware) is prohibited.

6.2. Subscription Terms

  • Subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis through a supported payment provider.
  • Subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel before the end of the current billing period.
  • You can manage and cancel your subscription through the payment provider's interface.
  • Each plan includes monthly usage limits (measured in tokens) and a maximum number of active devices.
  • Exceeding these limits will restrict cloud feature access until the next billing period or until you upgrade your plan.

6.3. Refunds

  • All purchases are processed by the applicable payment provider. Refund requests are subject to the provider's refund policies.
  • We do not directly process payments or issue refunds.
  • We are not obligated to provide refunds for partial subscription periods, dissatisfaction with AI features, data loss, or any other reason not covered by the payment provider's refund policy.

6.4. Price Changes

We reserve the right to change subscription prices at any time. Price changes will take effect at the start of your next billing cycle following notice of the change.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the App only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to:

  • use the App in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to the App immediately, without prior notice, for any violation of these Terms.

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

15.1. Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute resolution process, you agree to first contact us at codictio.app@gmail.com and attempt to resolve the dispute informally. We will attempt to resolve the dispute through good-faith negotiations for at least 30 days.

15.2. Binding Arbitration

If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, you and we agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App shall be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights.

The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of a mutually agreed arbitration provider. The arbitration shall be conducted in English.

15.3. Class Action Waiver

YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

15.4. Exceptions

Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for disputes within the court's jurisdiction.

16. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Poland, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

For users in the European Union, nothing in these Terms shall deprive you of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the laws of your country of residence or your right to bring legal proceedings in the courts of your country of residence.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its original intent.

18. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and beProgressive regarding your use of the App and supersede all prior agreements, representations, and understandings.

19. Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of any provision of these Terms will be effective only if in writing and signed by us.
