Terms of Service

1. Introduction and agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Shaurya Jain, who operates the Service under the product name Oltrex ("Oltrex," "we," "us," or "our"). Oltrex is a mobile AI assistant that captures conversations you choose to record, transcribes them, extracts tasks and commitments, and helps you follow through — proposing actions for your approval rather than acting on its own (the "Service").

By creating an account, or by downloading, accessing, or using the Oltrex app or related services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. You can reach us any time at founder@heyoltrex.com.

2. Eligibility and age

You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age required to consent to use an online service where you live (for example, 16 in parts of the European Union), to use Oltrex. Oltrex is not directed to children under that age, and we do not knowingly collect their data, as described in our Privacy Policy. If you are under 18, you may use the Service only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements and that the information you give us is accurate.

3. Your account and security

To use most features you create an account with an email address and password. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity under your account. Please notify us promptly at founder@heyoltrex.com if you believe your account has been accessed without your permission.

You are responsible for the security of the device on which you run Oltrex; where available, we recommend enabling the app's biometric lock. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss arising from someone else's use of your account where you failed to keep your credentials secure.

4. The licence we grant you

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable licence to download and use the Oltrex app for your personal or internal business use on any Apple-branded product that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions. You may not distribute or make the app available over a network where it could be used by multiple products at the same time.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, or create derivative works of the app, except to the extent that restriction is prohibited by applicable law. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by us. This licence ends automatically if you breach these Terms.

5. Your content and the licence you grant us

You keep ownership of everything you create or provide through Oltrex — your recordings, transcripts, tasks, notes, memories, messages, and the content of any account you connect ("Your Content").

You grant us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, process, transcribe, transmit, and display Your Content solely to operate and provide the Service to you and the features you have enabled — for example, transcribing a recording, extracting tasks for your review, or preparing a calendar action you approve. This licence exists only so the Service can work for you; it ends for content you delete, except that residual copies in routine backups are deleted on our normal retention schedule, and except for anything we must retain to comply with law.

As stated in our Privacy Policy, we do not sell Your Content, do not share it with data brokers, do not use it for advertising, and do not use it to train generalized AI models.

6. AI output — accuracy, no professional advice, and your responsibility

Oltrex uses artificial intelligence to transcribe, summarize, extract, and propose actions. AI can be wrong: transcripts may be inaccurate, and AI-generated summaries, tasks, and action proposals may be incomplete, mistaken, or entirely fabricated ("hallucinated"), even when they sound confident.

Oltrex is a productivity tool, not a professional, and its output is not legal, medical, financial, tax, or other professional advice; do not rely on it as a substitute for a qualified professional. You are responsible for reviewing anything Oltrex produces before you rely on it or act on it.

The current release does not read or send email. Oltrex does not create or change a calendar entry on your behalf without your explicit confirmation; nothing is executed automatically. Because you confirm each such action yourself, you are responsible for the content and consequences of any action you approve.

7. Recording responsibly — your consent obligations

You are solely responsible for how you use Oltrex to record. Recording laws differ from place to place, and it is your responsibility to know and follow the laws that apply to you and to the people you record.

Before you start a recording, you must obtain any consent and give any notice that the law requires. In some places, only you — as a participant in the conversation — need to consent. In many U.S. states, including California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Washington, and in some other jurisdictions, every participant must consent before a conversation may be recorded. Some jurisdictions apply different rules to in-person conversations than to phone or electronic communications. Because the applicable rule depends on where you and each participant are located at the time of the recording, you are responsible for determining and complying with the law of every relevant jurisdiction.

Where the law requires it, you must inform the other participants that the conversation is being recorded and obtain their consent before recording, and you must stop recording anyone who does not consent. You represent that you have all rights, permissions, and consents necessary to make each recording you create with Oltrex and to have it transcribed and processed as described in our Privacy Policy.

8. What Oltrex records — and what it does not

A saved Oltrex recording begins only when you start a capture. If you enable the optional “Hey Oltrex” listener, the microphone can listen for that phrase while the app is in the foreground; it stops when the app is backgrounded or the feature is disabled. That optional recognition path may use Apple's speech service as described in our Privacy Policy. Oltrex does not intercept, wiretap, or tap into your telephone calls, your carrier's network, or any other communications channel.

For saved captures, Oltrex records and transcribes what the microphone can hear while you have chosen to record; you decide when the recording starts and stops, and what is captured. You can review and delete recordings individually, or delete your account and all associated data, as described in our Privacy Policy.

9. Acceptable use and prohibited conduct

When using Oltrex, you agree not to:

• break any applicable law or regulation, or infringe anyone's privacy, publicity, intellectual-property, confidentiality, or other rights;
• record any person unlawfully, secretly, or without a consent or notice that the law requires, or record in a place where participants have a reasonable expectation of privacy without their consent;
• record a conversation for the purpose of committing, or in a way that furthers, any criminal or tortious act, or use the Service to surveil, stalk, harass, intimidate, defraud, or blackmail any person;
• record communications you are not a party to and are not authorized to record;
• upload or generate content that is unlawful, harassing, hateful, defamatory, or that sexually exploits or endangers minors;
• attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other users' data, or the accounts or systems we connect to;
• probe, scan, disrupt, overload, or reverse-engineer the Service, or circumvent its security, rate limits, usage limits, or human-approval and safety controls;
• use the Service to build a competing product, or to develop or train a machine-learning model; or
• use the Service to send spam, malware, or deceptive or fraudulent content.

We may investigate suspected violations and may suspend or terminate any account that we reasonably believe is being used in violation of these Terms, with or without notice.

10. Connected services and third-party terms

Some features rely on third-party services, and your use of them is also governed by those third parties' terms. If you connect Google Calendar, your use of that integration is subject to Google's terms, and our access to and use of your Google Calendar data follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements, as described in our Privacy Policy. The current release does not request Gmail access. You can disconnect Google at any time in the app.

To provide the Service, we use Google Cloud for hosting, and Google (Gemini / Vertex AI) and Groq for Oltrex-managed AI processing. Our agreements require those AI providers to protect your data and prohibit them from training their models on your production content. If you configure another AI provider or compatible endpoint and supply an API key, relevant content is routed to that provider using your credential and under that provider's terms and privacy policy. When server-generated spoken replies are enabled, ElevenLabs or Microsoft Edge Speech may receive the text of the generated reply to synthesize audio. Optional foreground “Hey Oltrex” recognition prefers Apple's on-device engine but may use Apple's server-based speech recognition if on-device recognition is unavailable. Our Privacy Policy explains these processing paths.

11. International and cross-border recording

If you or anyone you record is located outside the United States, additional laws may apply to your recording and to the personal data it contains. In the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, a recording that captures identifiable individuals is personal data, and you must have a valid legal basis (and, where applicable, provide the required information and obtain consent) before recording; the people you record may also have rights over that data. Other countries, including India, treat non-consensual recording of a private conversation as unlawful or actionable.

You are responsible for identifying and complying with the recording, privacy, and data-protection laws of every jurisdiction that applies to you and to the people you record, and for acting as the controller of the personal data in the recordings you create.

12. No legal advice

The descriptions of recording and other law in these Terms are general information, not legal advice, and are not a complete or current statement of the law in any jurisdiction. Recording laws change and their application depends on your specific circumstances. Oltrex is not your lawyer. If you are unsure whether or how you may lawfully record a particular conversation, seek qualified legal advice before recording.

13. Early-stage availability and fees

Oltrex is currently offered free of charge as an early-stage public release. Features may change, be added, or be removed, and the Service may contain bugs, be interrupted, or behave unexpectedly; it is provided for everyday use without any guarantee of availability, uptime, or that any particular feature will continue. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.

The Service does not currently offer paid plans or in-app purchases. If we introduce fees in the future, we will tell you in advance, and you will not be charged for paid features without your consent; your continued use after a paid feature takes effect, or your purchase of it, will be subject to any additional purchase terms we provide at that time.

14. Our intellectual property

The Oltrex app and Service — including the software, design, text, graphics, the "Oltrex" name and logo, and all related intellectual-property rights — are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by law. Except for the limited licence to use the app granted in these Terms, nothing here transfers any of our intellectual property to you, and you may not use our name, logo, or branding without our prior written permission. Your Content remains yours as set out above.

15. Feedback

If you send us ideas, suggestions, or feedback about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use them for any purpose without any obligation or compensation to you. Feedback is given voluntarily, and we are free to use or not use it as we see fit.

16. Privacy

Your privacy matters to us. Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, the sub-processors we rely on, how we handle Google data under its Limited Use requirements, and the choices and rights you have — including the exact export scope and account-deletion process. The Privacy Policy is part of these Terms, and by using the Service you agree to it.

17. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that any output — including transcripts, summaries, tasks, or action proposals — will be accurate, complete, or suitable for your purposes. As between you and Apple, Oltrex, and not Apple, is responsible for any warranties to the extent they are not effectively disclaimed. Oltrex is not a lawyer, doctor, accountant, or financial adviser, and its output is not professional advice.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case, those warranties are limited to the minimum period and extent permitted by law.

18. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Shaurya Jain, as operator of Oltrex, will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the Service, any AI output, any action you took in reliance on it, your recordings, or any third-party service — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve months before the claim (which, while the Service is free, is zero) or fifty US dollars (US$50).

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, including certain rights you may have as a consumer; where the law gives you rights that these limits would otherwise reduce, those rights prevail.

19. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Shaurya Jain, as operator of Oltrex, from any claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, and reasonable costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your misuse of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms or of any law; (c) your recording, transcribing, or processing of anyone without the consent the law requires, or any claim brought by a person you recorded; (d) any action you confirmed or content you sent through the Service; or (e) your infringement of a third party's rights.

We may take over the defense of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate with us if we do. Nothing in this section limits any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law.

20. Suspension and termination

You may stop using Oltrex at any time and may delete your account from within the app or by emailing founder@heyoltrex.com. Account deletion removes active account data and Oltrex's stored connected-service credentials, stopping further access through Oltrex, subject to the limited backup and legal-retention exceptions described in our Privacy Policy. We request upstream Google revocation on a best-effort basis.

We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, if we reasonably believe your use creates a legal or security risk, or if we discontinue the Service. On termination, your licence to use the app ends, and we will delete your data in accordance with our Privacy Policy, except for anything we must retain by law.

Sections that by their nature should survive — including your content licence to us as needed to complete deletion, our intellectual property, feedback, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law and disputes — survive termination.

21. Additional terms for downloads from the App Store

If you download the Oltrex app from the App Store, the following additional terms apply and, for the app, these Terms operate as the end-user licence agreement between you and Oltrex only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple").

• Acknowledgement. These Terms are an agreement between you and Oltrex only, and not with Apple. Oltrex, not Apple, is solely responsible for the Oltrex app and its content.
• Scope of licence. The licence granted to you for the app is a limited, non-transferable licence to use it on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the app may be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
• Maintenance and support. Oltrex is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the app. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the app.
• Warranty. Oltrex is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of the app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund any purchase price paid for the app to you (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation with respect to the app.
• Product claims. Oltrex, and not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the app or your possession or use of it, including product-liability claims, any claim that the app fails to conform to any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer-protection, privacy, or similar legislation, including in connection with the app's recording features.
• Intellectual property. In the event of any third-party claim that the app or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual-property rights, Oltrex, and not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
• Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist-supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Third-party terms. You must comply with any applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the app — for example, Google's terms if you connect Google.
• Developer contact. If you have any questions, complaints, or claims regarding the app, please contact Shaurya Jain, operator of Oltrex, at founder@heyoltrex.com (heyoltrex.com).
• Third-party beneficiary. You and Oltrex acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple's subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as they apply to your licence to the app, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

22. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will post the updated Terms with a new "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, give you additional notice in the app or by email. Changes take effect when posted unless we say otherwise, and your continued use of the Service after they take effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree to a change, stop using the Service and delete your account.

23. Governing law and dispute resolution

We would like to resolve any concern without a formal dispute, so before starting one, please contact us at founder@heyoltrex.com and give us a chance to work it out; most issues can be resolved that way.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except where the mandatory consumer-protection laws of the country where you live give you additional rights that cannot be waived — those continue to apply to you. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be subject to the state and federal courts located in New Jersey, and you and we submit to their jurisdiction; however, nothing in this section prevents you from bringing a claim in your local courts, or seeking any remedy available to you, where the law where you live gives you that right.

You and we agree that any dispute will be brought in an individual capacity and not as part of a class or representative action, to the extent that waiver is permitted by the law that applies to you.

24. General

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our consent. We may assign these Terms, including to a company we form or to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets; we will give you notice of any such assignment.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the rest remain in effect, and the unenforceable provision is limited to the minimum extent necessary.

Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service and supersede any prior agreements about it.

Force majeure. We are not liable for any delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including outages of third-party services, network or hosting failures, and acts of God.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
