Terms of Service

NoteTalker is a local-first AI assistant and second brain application. NoteTalker, the current product, consists of:

• Desktop application — A native desktop app that runs on your local machine (Windows, macOS, Linux)
• On-device AI — AI chat, voice input (speech-to-text), voice output (text-to-speech), and semantic search that run entirely on your own device, with no cloud round-trip
• Local data and features — Vault management, RAG/search, CRM, plugins, memory system, daily notes, tasks, templates, scheduling, and reminders, all stored locally on your device

NoteTalker stores all your data on your device and runs its AI on your own hardware. It requires internet access only to download AI models, to activate your license once, and for optional extras you enable yourself (such as weather, web search, or Google sync).

Legacy NoteTalker Cloud services — hosted AI chat, transcription, text-to-speech, and web search — were previously offered to subscribers and are covered in Section 5.

NoteTalker is sold as a one-time purchase. Your payment grants you a perpetual license to use NoteTalker—buy once, own forever—with no subscription and no recurring fees.

What Your License Includes

• A perpetual license to use NoteTalker, with no subscription and no recurring fees
• All 2.x releases of NoteTalker at no additional cost (new versions are manual downloads—there is no auto-updater)
• Activation on up to 2 devices per license key; you may deactivate a device at any time to free a slot and move your license to another computer
• All of NoteTalker's on-device AI—chat, voice input and output, and semantic search—running entirely on your own hardware

License Key and Activation

Your license key is delivered to, and managed from, your NoteTalker account at talkwithyournotes.com. Activating a key requires a one-time internet connection; after activation, NoteTalker runs fully offline. Keep your license key confidential—you are responsible for activity under your key, and you agree not to share, resell, or distribute it.

Termination

We may revoke your license if you materially breach these Terms—for example, by sharing or reselling your key, circumventing the permitted device activations through technical means, or using NoteTalker in a manner prohibited by Section 6 (Acceptable Use). If your license is revoked you must stop using NoteTalker and remove it from your devices; your local vault data remains on your device and is unaffected.

Refunds

If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact us at info@talkwithyournotes.com and we will work with you to make it right. Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis through support.

The following terms apply only to legacy NoteTalker Cloud subscription plans held by existing subscribers. New NoteTalker Cloud subscriptions are no longer offered—NoteTalker is now a one-time purchase (see Section 4). Existing subscribers remain bound by the terms in this section for as long as their plan is active.

Free Trial

Paid plans include a 14-day free trial. You provide a payment method to start the trial, and your selected plan begins billing automatically when the trial ends unless you cancel before then. You can cancel anytime during the trial from your account's billing portal.

Paid Subscriptions

Paid subscriptions are billed monthly. By subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method on a recurring monthly basis until you cancel.

• Subscription fees are non-refundable except as required by law
• Prices are subject to change with 30 days' notice
• Usage limits (message counts, STT/TTS minutes) are enforced per subscription tier
• You may upgrade or downgrade your subscription tier at any time

Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time via Settings → Account in the NoteTalker app or through the Stripe customer portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. You retain access to paid features until the end of the billing period.

Your local vault data remains accessible even after cancellation—only the legacy NoteTalker Cloud service is disabled.

Your Content

You retain all ownership rights to the content you create, store, or process using NoteTalker. This includes notes, files, CRM data, conversation history, and any other content in your vault. NoteTalker does not claim any ownership over your content.

NoteTalker runs its AI entirely on your device, so we do not receive, process, or store your notes or conversations. If you use a legacy NoteTalker Cloud service, you grant us a limited license to process your data solely to provide that service you explicitly request (e.g., sending a message to our hosted AI). That license terminates when your request is completed—we do not retain your conversation data on our servers.

Our Software

NoteTalker and all related software, trademarks, logos, and documentation are owned by Encephalon Labs and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any ownership rights to NoteTalker—only a limited license to use it according to these Terms.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Encephalon Labs and its affiliates, officers, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to:

• Loss of profits, revenue, or data
• Business interruption or lost opportunities
• Damage to reputation
• Cost of procuring substitute services

Our total liability for any claims arising from your use of NoteTalker shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $100, whichever is greater.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
