Terms of Service
Last updated:
Contents
1. Acceptance of these terms
By installing or using PagePod (the "app"), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.
2. Your license to use PagePod
We grant you a personal, non‑exclusive, non‑transferable license to install and use PagePod on devices you own or control. You may not:
- Reverse‑engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the on‑device voice models, except where the law expressly permits;
- Resell, rent, or sublicense the app;
- Use the app to build a competing text‑to‑speech product;
- Circumvent any technical limit, rate limit, or subscription check.
3. Your content and copyright
You're responsible for the books and files you import. By importing a file, you confirm that you have the right to read it and to have it read aloud to you privately.
We do not host books and we don't see what you import. The "Free classics" library inside the app links only to clearly public‑domain editions; if you believe a title is mis‑classified, write to us and we'll remove it.
The narrated audio that the app produces from your file is for personal listening. Do not record, redistribute, broadcast, or use it commercially.
4. Voices & generated audio
The voice models bundled with PagePod are licensed for use inside the app. They are not granted to you as standalone TTS engines. Exporting raw audio for personal use (e.g., to your own offline player) is allowed; redistribution is not.
5. Subscription, trial, and billing
- PagePod offers a 7‑day free trial. If you don't cancel before the trial ends, your Apple ID is charged for the subscription term you selected.
- Current pricing is $39.99 per year, billed at the start of each renewal period. Prices may differ by region and are shown to you at purchase.
- Subscriptions auto‑renew until cancelled. Cancel any time in iOS Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period.
- Refunds are handled by Apple under their refund policy.
6. Warranties & disclaimers
PagePod is provided "as is." We do our best to ship a beautiful, reliable reader, but we don't promise the app is bug‑free, that every EPUB or PDF will parse perfectly, or that every voice will pronounce every word exactly the way you'd say it. On‑device synthesis depends on your hardware — older devices may run more slowly.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim arising from your use of PagePod is limited to the amount you paid us for the app in the 12 months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages — including lost reading time.
8. Termination
You can stop using PagePod at any time by deleting the app. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these terms in a way that materially harms the service or other users; we'll explain why if we do.
9. Changes
We may update these terms — we'll bump the date at the top and notify you in‑app for anything material. Continued use after a change means you accept the new terms.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the publisher of PagePod is established, without regard to conflict‑of‑laws rules. Mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence still apply.
