Terms of Use

Effective date: July 31, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the Echo Node Android application and related optional cloud services. Echo Node is provided by Fighting Gravity Software ("Echo Node," "we," "us," or "our"). By installing or using Echo Node, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree, do not use Echo Node.

1. WHAT ECHO NODE PROVIDES

Echo Node provides tools for audio recording, playback, organization, notes, editing, transcription, saved-voice recognition, optional cloud backup, and optional AI-generated summaries. Feature availability may depend on the app version, device capabilities, internet access, Google services, subscription status, purchased allowances, and third-party availability.

2. YOUR RECORDINGS AND CONTENT

You retain ownership of recordings, notes, transcripts, labels, summaries, and other content you create or import. You give Echo Node and its service providers only the limited permission necessary to process content when you request a feature such as Gemini transcription, AI Summary, Google Drive backup, export, or sharing.

You are responsible for your content, backups, exports, and use of the results.

3. RECORDING LAWS AND CONSENT

Recording and consent requirements vary by jurisdiction and circumstance. You are solely responsible for determining and following the laws, workplace rules, contractual duties, and consent requirements that apply before recording, storing, transcribing, sharing, or using a conversation.

Echo Node must not be used for unlawful surveillance, harassment, stalking, exploitation, or any other illegal purpose.

4. AI-GENERATED AND AUTOMATED RESULTS

Transcripts, speaker assignments, saved-voice matches, timestamps, and summaries may be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, unavailable, or assigned to the wrong person. They are tools for review and are not guaranteed records of what occurred.

Echo Node does not provide medical, mental-health, legal, financial, safety, or professional advice. Do not rely on an automated result where an error could cause harm. Review important results against the original audio and consult a qualified professional when appropriate.

5. PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTIONS AND ALLOWANCES

Premium subscriptions are sold and managed through Google Play. Pricing, renewal terms, taxes, cancellation, refunds, and payment processing are governed by the purchase screen, Google Play terms, and applicable law.

Premium may include metered Gemini transcription minutes, AI Summary allowances, voice-profile features, or other benefits shown in the app. Allowances may reset by billing period and do not represent unlimited cloud use. If Premium ends, previously saved recordings and user-created content remain accessible, but Premium operations may become unavailable.

You can manage or cancel a subscription through Google Play. Removing the app does not necessarily cancel a subscription.

6. CLOUD-SERVICE AVAILABILITY

Cloud operations depend on internet access and third-party services, including Google Gemini, Google Cloud, Google Drive, Google Play Billing, and Play Integrity. We do not guarantee that a cloud feature will always be available or complete within a particular time. Echo Node may queue, safely stop, reject, or require manual retry of an operation to protect user content, allowances, or billing.

7. ACCEPTABLE USE

You agree not to:

• use Echo Node or its cloud services unlawfully;

• violate another person's privacy, publicity, intellectual-property, or other rights;

• submit content you do not have the right to process;

• attempt to bypass subscription, tester-access, allowance, security, or integrity controls;

• interfere with, reverse engineer, overload, probe, or misuse Echo Node's backend or service providers except where applicable law expressly permits;

• distribute malware or harmful content; or

• use Echo Node to facilitate abuse, threats, discrimination, exploitation, or fraud.

We may limit or suspend cloud access when reasonably necessary to protect the service, users, service providers, or legal compliance.

8. DEVICE STORAGE AND BACKUPS

Local data can be lost through device failure, app-data clearing, removal, operating-system behavior, storage corruption, or user action. Optional Google Drive backup does not guarantee that every file or version can be recovered. Maintain appropriate independent backups of irreplaceable material.

9. SOFTWARE CHANGES

We may add, remove, change, suspend, or discontinue features. Updates may be required for security, compatibility, billing, policy compliance, or continued cloud access. Planned or experimental features are not guaranteed to ship.

10. DISCLAIMERS

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Echo Node is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of accuracy, uninterrupted operation, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, availability, or data preservation.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some exclusions may not apply to you.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Fighting Gravity Software will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost recordings, content, profits, opportunities, relationships, or data arising from use of or inability to use Echo Node.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded.

12. TERMINATION

You may stop using Echo Node at any time. We may restrict cloud access for violation of these Terms, fraud, abuse, security risk, legal requirements, or service discontinuation. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

13. CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We may revise these Terms as Echo Node changes. The effective date will be updated when revisions are published. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Terms to the extent permitted by law.
