1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you") and Tornado Tech ("we", "us", "our"), a sole proprietorship based in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, regarding your use of the Sottovo Note mobile application (also known as "SmartNoter", "AI Smart Note") and associated services.
By downloading, installing, or using the Application, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Application.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 years old in the EEA/UK) to use Sottovo Note. If you are under the age of legal majority, you represent that your parent or guardian has agreed to these Terms on your behalf.
3. User Content & Intellectual Property
100% User Ownership: You retain complete ownership of all voice recordings, text notes, documents, transcripts, and summaries you create.
Limited License: You grant us a limited license solely to process, transcribe, summarize, and securely store your content to provide the service to you.
No AI Model Training: Your private voice recordings, prompts, and notes are never used to train third-party foundation AI models.
Shared Links: Pro and trial users can share a note as a link. Anyone with the link can read the shared page until it expires after 30 days or you stop sharing it. You are responsible for what you share, and you may only share content you have the right to share, including the consent of the people recorded in it. You may not share content that is illegal; sexually explicit; harassing, hateful or threatening; another person's private information without their consent; or that infringes anyone else's rights. We may remove any shared link that breaks these Terms. To report a shared page, email support@sottovonote.com with its link.
Deleting Your Account: You can delete your account and everything in it from inside the app, or at https://sottovonote.com/account-deletion if you no longer have the app installed.
4. Lawful Recording & Consent Requirements
Important Notice on Audio Recording Laws:
Recording conversations and meetings is regulated by federal, state, and international wiretapping laws. You are solely responsible for ensuring you have obtained all necessary legal consents from participants before recording or dispatching the Meeting Assistant bot.
5. Subscriptions & Google Play Billing
Payment Processing: All in-app subscriptions (Pro) are processed securely through Google Play In-App Billing.
Ad-Free: Any active paid subscription removes advertising from the app.
Automatic Renewal: Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours prior to renewal.
How to Cancel: You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time via Google Play Store -> Payments & Subscriptions -> Subscriptions.
Refunds: Governed by Google Play's standard refund policies.
6. Advertising (Free Plan Only)
Advertising is not active in the current release. This section describes how it will work once it is.
Free Plan Only: Ads are shown only on the Free Plan. Any active paid subscription removes advertising entirely.
Ad Network: Advertising is served by Google AdMob. The ads shown are selected by Google, not by us.
Your Content Is Never Used: Your recordings, transcripts, notes and AI chats are never shared with any ad network and never used to target advertising, on any plan.
Consent & Controls: In the EEA and UK you will be asked for consent before personalised ads are served. You can reset your advertising ID or disable ad personalisation in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads.
Third-Party Content: We do not control advertisement content or where it leads. Report a problem ad to support@sottovonote.com.
7. Generative AI Disclaimer
Artificial intelligence, automated speech recognition, and machine translation are probabilistic technologies. Sottovo Note does not warrant that transcripts, summaries, or translations are 100% error-free. The service does not constitute professional legal, medical, or certified translation advice.
Users may report inaccurate, offensive, or harmful AI outputs directly in the app using the "Report AI content" button.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tornado Tech, its owner, contractors and service providers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages resulting from your use of the Application. Total liability is limited to the amount paid by you in the preceding 12 months or $50 USD, whichever is greater.
9. Governing Law & Disputes
Governing Law: These Terms are governed by the laws of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Talk to Us First: Before starting formal proceedings, contact us at support@sottovonote.com. We will make a genuine attempt to resolve the matter within 30 days.
Jurisdiction: Subject to your consumer rights below, disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of competent jurisdiction in Pakistan.
Your Mandatory Consumer Rights: If you use the Application as a consumer, nothing here removes the protection of the mandatory consumer-protection laws of the country where you live, or your right to bring proceedings in the courts of that country. Where those laws conflict with these Terms, those laws prevail.
