These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Velox AI Input macOS application (“Velox” or the “App”), developed and provided by Wuhu Manxiu Technology Co., Ltd. (“we”, “us”, or “our”). By downloading, installing, or using Velox, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the App.
1. Eligibility & Account
Velox is distributed exclusively through the Apple App Store and is intended for users who are legally capable of entering into binding agreements under applicable law. Velox does not require you to create a separate account with us. Your use of the App is associated with your Apple ID and subject to Apple’s applicable terms and conditions.
2. License to Use Velox
Subject to your compliance with these Terms and with Apple’s App Store terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use Velox on macOS devices that you own or control, solely for personal or internal business purposes and in accordance with these Terms.
You may not:
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of Velox, except where permitted by law;
- Sell, resell, rent, lease, distribute, or otherwise commercially exploit Velox itself;
- Use Velox for any unlawful, harmful, or infringing purpose;
- Bypass, disable, or interfere with security or technical restrictions in Velox.
3. In-App Purchase & Trial
3.1 Pricing and Payment
Velox is offered as a paid app with a one-time purchase price (for example, US $4.99, or equivalent in your local currency) after a limited free trial period. The exact price and currency displayed in the App Store in your region will apply at the time of purchase.
All payments are processed by Apple through the App Store using Apple’s in-app purchase and billing systems. We do not collect or store your payment card information. Your purchase is also subject to Apple’s terms, conditions, and policies, including any applicable refund policies provided by Apple.
3.2 Free Trial
Velox may offer a free trial period (for example, seven (7) days) so that you can evaluate the App before making a purchase decision. The length and availability of the trial are described in the App Store listing and inside the App.
After the trial period ends, continued access to the full functionality of Velox requires a one-time purchase via Apple’s in-app purchase system. If you do not purchase Velox at the end of the trial, certain or all features of the App may become unavailable.
3.3 Refunds
Because all purchases are processed by Apple, any refund requests must be made directly through Apple in accordance with Apple’s refund policies. We do not provide direct refunds for purchases made through the App Store.
4. Third-Party Services and API Providers
Velox is a client application that sends your audio or text to third-party providers for speech recognition and text processing (for example, Groq or other Whisper-compatible services) using API keys that you configure in the App.
- You are responsible for obtaining and managing your own API keys and accounts with any third-party providers you choose to use with Velox.
- Your use of any third-party services is governed solely by those providers’ separate terms, conditions, and privacy policies, not by these Terms.
- Any usage-based fees (such as per-minute or per-token charges) from those third-party providers are your responsibility.
We do not control and are not responsible for the availability, performance, or behavior of any third-party services you choose to integrate with Velox.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree to use Velox only for lawful purposes and in a manner consistent with these Terms and all applicable laws and regulations. Without limitation, you agree not to use Velox to:
- Engage in activities that infringe the rights of others, including intellectual property rights and privacy rights;
- Submit or generate content that is unlawful, harmful, defamatory, harassing, or discriminatory;
- Attempt to circumvent usage limits, access controls, or security measures in Velox or in any third-party service;
- Use Velox in a way that could damage, disable, or overburden our infrastructure or that of any third-party provider.
6. Intellectual Property
Velox, including its design, user interface, code, logos, and associated documentation, is owned by Wuhu Manxiu Technology Co., Ltd. or its licensors, and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any ownership rights in Velox.
You retain all rights to the content you create or input using Velox (for example, your dictated text), subject to any applicable terms of the third-party services you choose to use.
7. Privacy
Our practices regarding the handling of data in connection with Velox are described in our Privacy Policy. By using Velox, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Privacy Policy.
8. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Velox is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. While we aim to provide a stable and reliable experience, we do not guarantee that:
- Velox will be error-free, uninterrupted, or available at all times; or
- The output produced by third-party services (such as transcription or text refinement) will be accurate, complete, or suitable for any particular purpose.
You are responsible for reviewing and verifying any content generated or processed through Velox before relying on it, particularly for professional, legal, medical, or financial use cases.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Wuhu Manxiu Technology Co., Ltd. be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits or data, arising out of or in connection with your use of Velox.
Where liability cannot be excluded under applicable law, our aggregate liability in connection with Velox shall be limited to the amount you paid for the App (excluding any amounts paid to third-party providers for their services). Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or limit any rights you may have that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable consumer protection laws.
10. Changes to the App and to These Terms
We may update Velox from time to time, including adding, modifying, or removing features, to improve functionality, address security issues, or comply with changes in laws and platform requirements.
We may also update these Terms from time to time. When we do so, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If you continue using Velox after the updated Terms become effective, you are deemed to have accepted the changes.
11. Termination
You may stop using Velox at any time and may delete the App from your device. We may suspend or terminate your ability to use Velox if you materially breach these Terms, if required by law, or if continuation of service is no longer commercially reasonable.
Upon termination, the license granted to you under these Terms will end. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including, for example, Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, and Governing Law) will continue to apply.
12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where Wuhu Manxiu Technology Co., Ltd. is established, without regard to its conflict of law principles, except where mandatory consumer protection laws of your own country would require otherwise.
