Terms of Service

Effective date: May 24, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and Pliologik LLC, a Florida limited liability company that publishes the Précis application (“Pliologik,” “Précis,” “we,” “us”), and govern your use of the Précis application and related backend services (collectively, “the app”). By installing, accessing, or using the app, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

These Terms incorporate by reference our Privacy Policy and Apple’s standard End User License Agreement for licensed applications (the “Apple EULA”).

Key terms at a glance

• You are responsible for getting any recording consent required by law before recording a meeting.
• You keep ownership of your recordings, transcripts, and minutes. Précis uses them only to provide the app back to you and to people you choose to share meetings with.
• The free tier includes five meetings per calendar month. Précis Pro unlocks cloud audio backup (client-encrypted by current app versions), semantic search, reprocessing, template customisation, and research or draft helpers.
• AI-generated minutes and follow-up helpers can be wrong. Review them before relying on them.
• Apple manages subscription billing. Deleting your Précis account does not cancel an App Store subscription.

1. Acceptance and Eligibility

You may use Précis only if you are at least 13 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction. By using the app you represent that both are true. If you are using Précis on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.

2. The Service

Précis records audio of your meetings on your device, transcribes the audio on-device using Apple’s SpeechAnalyzer framework, and uses transcript text to produce structured meeting minutes and follow-up suggestions through our backend AI gateway. Some paid features, such as Research Cards and draft helpers, use selected meeting-derived context and may include web search results. Audio recordings remain on your device unless you are a paying subscriber and have enabled the cloud audio backup feature. When you choose to share a completed meeting with another Précis user, Précis creates an authenticated recipient copy as described in the Privacy Policy.

3. Free Tier and Paid Subscriptions

3.1 Free tier

Précis offers a free tier that allows you to record up to five (5) meetings per calendar month, transcribe them on your device, and generate AI meeting minutes. Free-tier audio is stored on your device only. The following features are not available on the free tier:

• Cloud audio backup — uploading encrypted audio so devices that have your iCloud Keychain audio-backup key can play it; current app versions encrypt the backup before upload.
• Semantic search across your meeting transcripts.
• Reprocessing a meeting with a different template after it has already been generated.
• Customising built-in meeting templates.
• Research Cards and draft helpers for Next Moves.

The monthly meeting limit resets at the start of each calendar month in your local time zone. Soft-deleted meetings count towards the cap until the calendar month rolls over.

3.2 Paid subscriptions (Précis Pro)

Précis Pro unlocks the paid features listed above and any other feature marked as Pro in the app. We currently offer two subscription products through the App Store:

• precis_pro_monthly — a one-month auto-renewing subscription.
• precis_pro_annual — a one-year auto-renewing subscription.

Current prices are displayed in the App Store and on the in-app paywall before you confirm purchase. Prices may vary by region.

3.3 Auto-renewable subscription disclosures

The following terms apply to all auto-renewable subscriptions, as required by Apple:

• Charge on confirmation. Payment will be charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
• Subscription length. One month for precis_pro_monthly; one year for precis_pro_annual.
• Auto-renewal. Your subscription automatically renews for the same period unless you cancel auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Renewal charge. Your Apple Account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the then-current price for that product (which is the same as the original price unless we have notified you of a price change in advance and obtained your consent where required).
• Manage your subscription. You can manage your subscription and turn off auto-renewal at any time in your Apple Account settings (Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions on iOS).
• No proration. No refunds are provided for partial billing periods. Refund requests are handled by Apple at support.apple.com.
• Free trials. If we offer a free trial in future, any unused portion will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription. We do not currently offer a free trial.

Cancelling your Précis subscription does not delete your account. Your data remains accessible under the free-tier limits (with paid features re-locked) until you delete your account separately. Conversely, deleting your Précis account does not cancel any active App Store subscription — you must cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

4. Your Content

You retain all ownership rights in the audio you record, transcripts generated from it, and meeting minutes produced by Précis (collectively, “Your Content”). We do not claim ownership.

To enable Précis to function, you grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, transmit, process, and display Your Content back to you in the app, across your authorised devices, and to Précis users you explicitly share a meeting with, solely as needed to provide the service. This licence covers only the technical operations required to run Précis for you — for example, transmitting transcript text through our AI gateway to generate minutes and follow-up suggestions; using selected meeting-derived context for Research Cards or draft helpers; storing audio on our servers if you are a paying subscriber using cloud audio backup; synchronising Your Content between your devices; and creating a recipient-owned meeting copy when you share a meeting with another Précis user. The licence terminates when you delete the relevant content or your account, except for residual copies retained briefly in backups or audit logs and accepted recipient copies as described in the Privacy Policy.

We do not publish Your Content or share it unless you direct us to share a meeting with another Précis user. We do not license or sell Your Content to third parties, beyond the cloud service providers strictly required to run the app, who process it under their published data-processing terms. We do not use Your Content to train artificial-intelligence models, and Précis is configured to route AI processing only through supported provider routes selected for no-training commitments and Zero Data Retention. See the Privacy Policy for details.

5. Recording Consent — Your Responsibility

Recording-consent laws vary by jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions (including California, Florida, Pennsylvania, Washington, and others) require all parties to a conversation to consent before it is recorded. Other jurisdictions require only one party (which may be you) to consent.

You are solely responsible for complying with all recording-consent laws applicable to you and to every participant in any meeting you record, including informing participants that the meeting is being recorded where required. Précis is a tool. Whether your use of it is lawful in a given setting depends on your conduct and the laws applicable to that setting. We disclaim all liability arising from your failure to obtain the consents required by law.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree to use Précis only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not:

• Record any conversation without obtaining the consents required by law (see §5).
• Use the app to collect, store, or process data in violation of any applicable privacy law (including the GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, or any other regulation that may apply to the content you record).
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the app or its backend services, except where this restriction is prohibited by applicable law.
• Tamper with, probe, or scan the app’s infrastructure, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to any account, server, network, or data.
• Use the app to transmit any material that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, abusive, threatening, hateful, sexually explicit, or otherwise objectionable.
• Use the app to infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any person.
• Interfere with or disrupt the app’s services, servers, or networks (including by automated means, scraping, or denial-of-service activity).
• Resell, sublicense, lease, time-share, or otherwise commercially redistribute access to the app or its features.
• Create accounts by automated means, or maintain more than one active account in violation of free-tier limits.

We may suspend or terminate your access for any violation. We may also remove or refuse to process any content that we reasonably believe violates these Terms or applicable law, though we have no general obligation to monitor content.

7. AI-Generated Content — Use With Care

Précis uses third-party large-language-model providers to generate meeting minutes, follow-up suggestions, Research Cards, and draft helpers from your meeting context. Outputs from these models can contain errors, omissions, mischaracterisations, and fabricated information (often called “hallucinations”). You should verify the accuracy of any AI-generated output before relying on it.

Meeting minutes generated by Précis are not a substitute for professional advice. You must not rely on them as the sole basis for legal, medical, financial, accounting, tax, or other professional decisions. We disclaim all liability for decisions made or actions taken in reliance on AI-generated content.

8. Service Availability

We strive to keep the app available and functioning, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or secure operation. The app depends on third-party services (including our cloud infrastructure providers, Apple for App Store distribution and StoreKit, and supported AI providers) that may experience downtime, errors, or modifications. We may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature of the app at any time. We will provide reasonable advance notice of material changes where practical.

9. Account Termination

You may delete your account at any time through the app: Settings → Account → Delete Account. The effects of deletion (including data cascade behaviour and what is retained anonymously) are described in our Privacy Policy.

Inactive accounts. We may also delete accounts that remain inactive for an extended period, after a cancellable grace period during which signing back in keeps your account. The inactivity windows, grace period, and the fact that active subscribers are exempt are described in the “Inactive accounts” entry of our Privacy Policy (§6).

We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially violate these Terms, if your use creates a security or legal risk for us or for other users, or if we cease offering the app. Upon termination by either party, your right to use the app ends. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including ownership of Your Content (§4), the disclaimers and limitations in §§7, 11, 12, indemnification (§13), and the dispute-resolution clauses (§17) — will survive.

10. Apple EULA Supplement

The app is licensed, not sold, to you. Your licence to use the app on Apple-branded devices is also governed by Apple’s standard End User License Agreement, available at apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula. The following clauses (the “Apple Schedule 1 Supplement”) apply in addition to these Terms and the Apple EULA. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and the Apple EULA with respect to the scope of the licence, the Apple EULA prevails.

• Acknowledgment. You acknowledge that this agreement is between you and Précis only, and not with Apple. Précis, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content.
• Scope of licence. The licence granted to you is limited to a non-transferable licence to use the app on any Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Apple EULA.
• Maintenance and support. Précis is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the app, as specified in these Terms or as required by applicable law. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services.
• Warranty. Précis is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the app to you (where applicable). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation with respect to the app.
• Product claims. Précis, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims you or any third party may have relating to the app or your possession or use of it, including product-liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, claims arising under consumer-protection or similar legislation, and intellectual-property claims.
• Intellectual property. In the event of any third-party claim that the app or your possession or use of the app infringes that third party’s intellectual-property rights, Précis (not Apple) is solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, and discharge of that claim, to the extent required by these Terms.
• Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Developer name and address. Précis is published by Pliologik LLC. Direct any questions, complaints, or claims with respect to the app to support@precis.run, or contact the company at contact@pliologik.com.
• Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the app.
• Third-party beneficiary. You acknowledge and agree that Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

Except as expressly required by applicable law, the app is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. Précis specifically disclaims all warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and quiet enjoyment, and any warranty arising from a course of dealing or usage of trade. Précis does not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that defects will be corrected, that the app is free of viruses or other harmful components, or that any AI-generated content will be accurate. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions, your statutory rights are not affected.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Précis or its officers, employees, agents, suppliers, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, business, goodwill, or substitute services, arising out of or in connection with your use of the app, even if Précis has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the app and these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid to Précis (through Apple) in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US$50.

The limitations in this section do not apply to liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law (including, in some jurisdictions, liability for fraud, gross negligence, or wilful misconduct, and liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence).

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Précis and its officers, employees, agents, suppliers, and licensors from and against any claim, demand, action, loss, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) Your Content, including any recording made without the consents required by law; (b) your use or misuse of the app; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any law or the rights of any third party. We will provide you with reasonable notice of any claim and may, at our option, control its defence.

14. Export Compliance and Sanctions

The app may be subject to U.S. and other export-control laws. You represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any country subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties (including the Specially Designated Nationals list, Denied Persons List, or Entity List). You agree not to export or re-export the app to any such location or person. You also agree to comply with all applicable export-control laws of any other jurisdiction that may apply to your use.

15. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and share information in connection with the app, and forms part of these Terms.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes we will:

• Update the effective date at the top of this page.
• Where practical, surface a brief notice in the app on your next launch.

Your continued use of the app after a material change becomes effective means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept them, your remedy is to delete your account as described in §9.

17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Subject to the carve-outs below, the state and federal courts located in Florida have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the app, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.

• Informal resolution first. Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting support@precis.run. We will attempt to resolve the dispute within 30 days. If we cannot, either party may bring a formal claim.
• Small claims. Either party may bring an individual action in any small-claims court of competent jurisdiction in lieu of the venue above.
• Time limit. Any claim must be filed within one year after it arises, except where applicable law requires a longer period.
• Consumer rights preserved. If you are a consumer in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose mandatory consumer-protection laws give you stronger rights, those rights apply notwithstanding this section.

18. General Provisions

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Apple EULA, are the entire agreement between you and Précis regarding the app and supersede any prior agreement or understanding on the same subject matter.
• Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision will not be a waiver of that right or provision.
• Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, or sale of assets, or by operation of law.
• Force majeure. We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, labour disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, or third-party-service outages.
• Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
• No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, agency, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and Précis.
