1. Who you are contracting with
The ADI-AI software and this website are provided by ADI-AI LLC, a United States limited liability company ("ADI-AI," "we," "us," "our"). References in these terms to "the Software" mean the ADI-AI desktop applications, including Scribe50, Scribe50 Plus, BASIC, and BASIC-F, in whatever editions we make available.
2. What these terms cover
These terms cover your installation and use of the Software and your use of this website. Our handling of personal information is described separately in our Privacy Statement, and the security characteristics of the Software are described on our Security page. Those documents are part of your agreement with us.
Where a specific edition of the Software has its own published documentation, such as a user manual, that documentation describes how the product works but does not replace these terms.
3. Your license to use the software
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Software for your own purposes, subject to these terms and, for paid editions, to an active subscription.
Device binding. A paid license activates on a single device at a time. You may move it to another machine by releasing it from the old machine and activating it on the new one with the same key.
You may not:
- Copy, redistribute, resell, sublicense, rent, or lend the Software.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, or attempt to derive its source code, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits despite this restriction.
- Circumvent, disable, or interfere with licensing, activation, or integrity mechanisms, or share license keys.
- Remove or obscure any proprietary notices.
Scribe50 FREE is provided at no charge and requires no account or license key. It is licensed to you on the same terms above, except those concerning payment and subscription. We may change or discontinue the free edition.
4. Subscriptions, billing, and renewal
Paid editions are sold as subscriptions. Prices and billing periods are those shown on our Products page at the time you subscribe.
Payment processing. Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card number. Your use of Stripe's checkout and billing portal is also subject to Stripe's own terms.
Automatic renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period, at the then-current price for your plan, until you cancel. By subscribing you authorize recurring charges to your payment method.
Failed payment. If a renewal payment fails, access to paid features may be suspended or ended after a short window.
Price changes. We may change subscription prices. Any change applies from your next billing period, and we will give you notice before it takes effect so that you can cancel first if you prefer.
5. Cancellation
You may cancel at any time through the Stripe billing portal linked from our FAQ. No account or password with us is required.
Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You keep access until then, and you are not charged again afterwards.
Cancelling stops future billing only. It does not delete, disable, or alter any recording, transcript, or evidence set already on your computer — those files are yours and remain where you saved them.
6. Your responsibilities
You are responsible for:
- Your device and your data. The Software runs on your computer and stores its output there. Backups, disk space, device security, and access control on that machine are yours to manage. We cannot recover data we never receive.
- Lawful use. You must have the right to record, possess, and process the audio you put through the Software. Recording and wiretapping laws vary by jurisdiction, and consent requirements differ. Determining what you may lawfully record and use is your responsibility, not ours.
- Your license key. Keeping it confidential and not sharing it.
- Accurate purchase information. So that we can deliver your license and reach you about your subscription.
7. Accuracy limitations
Automated transcription is not perfect, and neither is automated speaker attribution. Output quality depends heavily on recording quality, background noise, overlapping speech, accents, language, and audio format.
The Software produces a machine-generated draft. It may misrecognize words, mis-attribute speech to the wrong speaker, misplace timestamps, or omit inaudible passages. Confidence indicators and validity checks are aids to review, not guarantees of correctness.
You must review transcripts against the source audio before relying on them. We do not warrant that any transcript is complete or accurate.
8. No professional or evidentiary reliance guarantee
The Software is a tool. It is not legal, medical, investigative, forensic, or other professional advice, and using it does not create any professional relationship between you and us.
The forensic editions record hashes and maintain a documented chain of custody so that your handling of a recording is traceable. That is a record of what the Software did. It is not a guarantee that any transcript, evidence set, or report will be admitted by any court, accepted by any tribunal, regulator, or opposing party, or found sufficient for any legal, evidentiary, medical, or compliance purpose.
Admissibility and evidentiary weight are decided by courts and other authorities on their own rules, and depend on facts well beyond the Software — including how the recording was made and handled before it reached us. Consult a qualified professional about your specific matter.
9. Intellectual property
The Software, this website, and all associated documentation, designs, trademarks, and technology are owned by ADI-AI LLC or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property law. These terms grant you a license to use the Software; they do not transfer ownership of anything.
Your content stays yours. We claim no ownership of your recordings, transcripts, evidence sets, or any other output you produce with the Software. Because that material is processed on your device and is not uploaded to us, we do not receive it, hold it, or use it.
The Software includes third-party open-source components, which remain subject to their own licenses.
10. Warranty disclaimer
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Software and this website are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. We specifically disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the Software will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of defects, that it will meet your requirements, or that any result it produces will be accurate or reliable.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. Where that is the case, the exclusions above apply only to the extent permitted, and you may have additional rights that these terms do not affect.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, ADI-AI LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, loss of goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or relating to the Software or these terms, whether based in contract, tort, or any other theory, and even if we have been advised that such damages are possible.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Software or these terms is limited to the amount you actually paid us for the Software in the twelve months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim. Where you have paid us nothing, including use of Scribe50 FREE, that limit is zero.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
12. Termination
You may stop using the Software at any time, and may cancel a subscription as described in section 5.
We may suspend or terminate your license if you materially breach these terms, including by circumventing licensing or integrity controls, redistributing the Software, or using it unlawfully. Where circumstances reasonably allow, we will give you notice and an opportunity to correct the problem first.
On termination, your right to use the Software ends and you should uninstall it. Files already produced on your computer remain yours. Sections 7 through 11, and any other provision that by its nature should survive, survive termination.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page, and material changes will be notified before they take effect where reasonably practicable. Continuing to use the Software after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms.
