PhraseFold Licence Terms

Revision of 24 August 2026. This is a courtesy translation: the Russian text governs.

1. Product and Acceptance

PhraseFold is a macOS application that helps transcribe speech and media locally and work with text, translation, subtitles and questions about the material. These terms supplement the PhraseFold public offer and together with it form the licence agreement (Articles 1235, 1286 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

The user accepts the terms with a separate checkbox at checkout before payment. The revision and the server-side acceptance time are stored with the purchase. Starting to use the application also constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by applicable law. For a consumer purchase, the user’s mandatory rights prevail.

2. Granted Right

The Licensor grants the user a simple (non-exclusive), non-transferable licence to install and use the paid edition of PhraseFold worldwide for the user’s own lawful purposes.

• Pro permits personal and professional use of the tier’s features by one owner.
• Studio permits use of the tier’s features in the owner’s own commercial creative or production workflow.
• Unless an invoice or separate agreement says otherwise, one owner may install the application on no more than two Macs under that owner’s personal control.

The device limit is contractual: PhraseFold does not use a remote activation server and does not track a device list. This does not permit sharing the key with other people.

3. Restrictions

The user may not resell, transfer, publish or sublicense the application or the key; provide PhraseFold as a standalone service to third parties; bypass tier limits; distribute modified builds; or remove copyright notices. Decompilation and similar actions are permitted only in the cases and to the extent expressly established by applicable law.

The licence transfers no exclusive rights to PhraseFold, its design or source code. Rights to third-party models, engines, fonts and components are governed by their own licences and the Third-Party Notices.

4. Licence Term and Versions

The licence to the purchased eligible version is perpetual unless terminated for a material breach. Changes to macOS, third-party models or components may affect the compatibility of an old version.

The purchase contains no promise of a fixed feature-update period. Fixes, compatibility and new features are released under the update policy in force for the relevant version. A future major version or separate service may be sold separately. This does not cancel the right to use the already purchased compatible version.

5. Delivery and the Key

After payment confirmation, the signed key is shown in the browser and sent to the order’s e-mail. The key is verified locally using a digital signature. The user must keep the key confidential and tell support if it was not delivered or became available to third parties.

6. Local and Network Operations

Core processing runs on the Mac once the required models and components are installed. The internet is needed for the initial download of chosen components, update checks and downloads, importing supported links, explicitly enabled web search, payment and other explicitly network actions. If the user chooses an external Ollama server or another remote route, the relevant text is sent to the server the user specified.

7. Materials and AI Results

The user is responsible for rights and required permissions to source audio, video, voices, documents, texts and URLs. Recognition, translation and AI answers may contain errors and must be reviewed by a human before medical, legal, financial, HR, public or other high-stakes use.

8. Support, Refunds and Liability

Support is provided under the published support policy. Refunds and quality claims are handled under the refund policy, the public offer and mandatory law. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits consumer rights or liability that cannot be limited by contract.

9. Termination

On a material breach the Licensor may demand that unlawful use stop after notice and a reasonable chance to cure, unless the law provides otherwise. Provisions on intellectual property, liability and dispute resolution survive to the necessary extent.
