Terms of Service

1. ABOUT THE SERVICE

GSpeech provides automated text-to-speech, translation, audio generation, and audio-player services for websites and other content projects. Available features, voices, generation allowances, and website limits depend on the plan purchased and the features currently released.

2. PRIVACY POLICY

We take your privacy very seriously; as such, our Privacy Policy is an important part of this Agreement. The Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) explains how we collect information from you and how we use and share that information to provide the Service. We encourage you to frequently check the Privacy Policy for any changes.

3. ELIGIBILITY

By accessing and/or using the Service, including by doing so after accessing this Agreement, you represent and warrant that you are the requisite age and are otherwise legally qualified to enter into and form contracts under applicable law. If you are using the Service on behalf of a company, you further represent and warrant that you are authorized to act and enter into contracts on behalf of that company.

4. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

You may only use the Service pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. You are solely responsible for your use of the Service and shall abide by, and ensure compliance with, all laws in connection with your use of the Service, including but not limited to laws related to intellectual property, privacy, and export control. Use of the Service is void where prohibited.

• License to Use the Service. Subject to these Terms and your purchased plan, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use GSpeech for your own projects and authorized client projects. This license concerns access to our platform. Separate permissions for generated audio are set out below. You may not copy, resell, sublicense, or provide a rebranded version of the GSpeech platform, or sell access to your account, without our express written agreement. This restriction does not prohibit the commercial use of generated audio or the provision of client services expressly permitted below. We reserve rights not expressly granted. Access may be suspended or terminated in accordance with these Terms.
• User Account: To access and use the Service, you should create a user account (“Account”), and to provide information that personally identifies you (“Personal Information”). You represent and warrant that all user information you provide in connection with your Account and your use of the Service is current, complete, and accurate, and you agree that you will update that information as necessary to maintain its completeness and accuracy. You agree that you will not submit any false information (including without limitation any email address, username, or likeness) to willfully impersonate another person, whether actual or fictitious. If Company believes in its sole discretion that the information you provide is not current, complete, or accurate, Company has the right to refuse your access to the Service, or to terminate or suspend your access at any time, or both.
• Account Security: You will be asked to provide an email address and possibly other information to secure your Account. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password. You may not use the username or password of any other person, nor may you share your username and password, nor may you circumvent any authentication mechanism requiring the entry of usernames, passwords, or any other information to gain unauthorized access to the Service. You agree to notify the Company immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account. Company shall not be liable for any loss that you incur because of someone else using your Account, either with or without your knowledge. You may be held liable for any losses incurred by Company, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, consultants, agents, and representatives due to someone else's use of your Account.
• Your Content: You agree that you are solely responsible for the content (“Content”) sent or transmitted by you or displayed or uploaded by you in using the Service and for compliance with all laws pertaining to the Content, including, but not limited to, laws requiring you to obtain the consent of a third party to use the Content and to provide appropriate notices of third-party rights. You represent and warrant that you have the right to upload the Content and that such use does not violate or infringe on any rights of any third party. Under no circumstances will Company be liable in any way for any (a) Content that is transmitted or viewed while using the Service, (b) errors or omissions in the Content, or (c) any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of, access to, or denial of access to Content. Although Company is not responsible for any Content, Company may delete any Content, at any time without notice to you, if Company becomes aware that it violates any provision of this Agreement, or any law. You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post, or display on or through, the Service.
• Processing Your Content. You authorize us and the service providers we engage to process, reproduce, translate, synthesize, store, and deliver your submitted content as necessary to provide the features you request. This authorization does not transfer ownership of your source material to us and does not itself authorize its use in advertising or model training. Personal data is handled as described in our Privacy Policy and any applicable data-processing agreement.
• Commercial Use of Generated Audio. For audio lawfully generated under a paid GSpeech plan, including a paid lifetime plan, GSpeech permits you to download, reproduce, edit, publish, distribute, monetize, and sell the audio. Permitted projects include websites, YouTube and other videos, podcasts, advertising, online courses, presentations, and audiobooks. You may deliver audio files to clients and authorize their use in those projects without requiring a separate GSpeech account merely to use the delivered files.
• You must have the rights and permissions required for the source material, its translation or adaptation, and the intended distribution. Any additional restrictions applicable to a particular voice or feature will be identified before generation. These permissions do not grant rights to another person's identity, imply their endorsement, transfer ownership of voice models, or guarantee that generated audio is unique or eligible for copyright protection.
• Client Services. You may charge clients for audio production, installation, configuration, and ongoing management of GSpeech on websites you are authorized to manage, within your plan's allowances. You may offer these services under your own business name. This does not authorize resale or rebranding of the GSpeech platform or transfer of your subscription. Player appearance and branding options remain governed by the features included in your plan.
• Client Commitments. Your client agreements should distinguish your services and audio deliverables from access to GSpeech. You may not make commitments on our behalf or represent that GSpeech guarantees exclusive voice rights, unlimited generation, uninterrupted availability, error-free translations, or approval by a third-party publisher or platform unless we expressly agree in writing.
• License to Display Your Public Content: Public Content refers to content you publicly post, including reviews or testimonials about the Service that you submit to Company (for example via our contact form) and that you permit us to display. You remain the owner and are solely responsible for your Public Content; however, we require the following license from you in order to display your Public Content as expressly permitted by you — for example, to publish your testimonials about the Service. You hereby grant Company an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, perform, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display your Public Content throughout the world in any media now existing or in the future created. You represent and warrant that you have all rights and permissions to grant the foregoing license.

5. PROHIBITED CONDUCT

Company imposes certain restrictions on your use of the Service. The following are expressly prohibited: (a) providing false, misleading, or inaccurate information to Company or any other person in connection with the Service; (b) upload, post, transmit, display, perform, or distribute any Content, information, or materials that is libelous, defamatory, abusive, threatening, violent, harassing, or obscene; (c) impersonating, or otherwise misrepresenting affiliation, connection, or association with, any person or entity; (d) modifying or changing the placement and location of any advertisement posted through the Service; (e) harvesting or otherwise collecting information about users, including email addresses and phone numbers; (f) without express written permission from Company, using or attempt to use any engine, software, tool, agent, or other device or mechanism (including without limitation browsers, spiders, robots, avatars, or intelligent agents) to harvest or otherwise collect information from the Service for any use; (g) accessing content or data not intended for you, or logging into a server or account that you are not authorized to access; (h) attempting to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service, or any associated system or network, or breaching security or authentication measures without proper authorization; (i) interfering or attempt to interfere with the use of the Service by any other user, host, or network, including (without limitation) by submitting malware or exploiting software vulnerabilities; (j) forging, modifying, or falsifying any network packet or protocol header or metadata in any connection with, or transmission to, the Service (for example, SMTP email headers, HTTP headers, or Internet Protocol packet headers); (k) requesting the provision of text-to-speech services without prior authorization from the website owner; or (l) attempting to modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise reduce or attempt to reduce to a human-perceivable form any of the source code used by Company in providing the Service, including without limitation any fraudulent effort to modify software.

We reserve the right to terminate your Account and use of the Service for violating any of the above prohibited uses or any of these Terms or for violating any applicable law.

6. FEES, SUBSCRIPTION PLANS, RETURN, AND REFUND POLICY

• Payment of Fees: You agree to pay Company all fees associated with your use of the Service (“Fees”), as indicated to you at the time you agree to such Fees (such as through registration or checkout process). All transmissions of payment information through the Service are secured with Internet-standard TLS (also known as HTTPS) encryption. Company does not verify account information, process any payments or store your billing information itself; instead, these services are provided through the Service by Company’s trusted Third Party “Payment Processors,” and you may be redirected to Third Party Websites and/or required to agree to separate Third Party terms in order to complete your payment transaction. You warrant that you are legally authorized to provide any payment method that you provide to us. You are responsible for paying any applicable taxes for your purchase(s).
• Subscription Membership: Company offers certain services on a subscription basis. If you enroll in a subscription plan (your “Subscription”), you will be billed according to the terms of the Subscription (the “Subscription Terms”) as displayed to you at the time you enroll.
• Timing of Subscription Payments: At the time you enroll in your Subscription, you will be required to provide payment information to pay for the Fees associated with your Subscription. If you choose to enroll in a Subscription, you understand and agree that in addition to your first purchase, your payment method on file will be charged for additional Subscription periods (e.g., once per month or once per year) without obtaining further permission or confirmation from you. In other words, your Subscription plan renews automatically unless canceled in advance of the next payment period by you. Please pay attention to the Fees, payment terms and disclosures provided during the order process for your subscription plan. We may find it necessary to change the Fees in effect for your Subscription without prior notice to you that is sufficient to afford you an opportunity to cancel your Subscription before incurring the increased fees.
• Credits and how plans work: Character credits are included in the GSpeech plan you purchase. Credits are counted when new audio is generated. Playback of a stored file is not a new character bill (Generate Once, Keep and Play). One of the main keys of the GSpeech approach is No API Keys Required: commercial GSpeech voices are provided inside the plan; you do not pay Google, OpenAI, or Gemini on the side for those voices. Live SKUs: GSpeech pricing. How credits work: How GSpeech pricing works.
• Lifetime Purchases through AppSumo. Purchases through AppSumo receive the tier, allowances, lifetime access, and included plan updates specified in the applicable offer at the time of purchase. That offer governs activation requirements and any available tier changes. AppSumo purchases follow AppSumo's applicable refund process, not our direct-purchase 15-day refund policy. Specific purchase entitlements are not reduced by a general description of current plans on our website. Processing of purchase-related data is described in our Privacy Policy and AppSumo's Privacy Policy.
• Changes and Cancellation: To change or cancel a subscription billed by Company, use our contact form (the official channel) or email info@gspeech.io. Changes and cancellations must be made at least one (1) day before your payment method is charged for the next payment period.
• Late or Failed Payments: You understand and agree that if you fail to make a payment or your payment is received late or fails for any reason, Company reserves the right to show an error message about a limitation on the webpage(s) that have the text-to-audio player. This message will be displayed on your webpage until the payment issue is resolved. You may resolve payment issues through our contact form or email at info@gspeech.io.
• Return and Refund Policy: GSpeech is a hosted subscription, not boxed software. For monthly or annual plans billed by Company, you may request a full refund of that charge within fifteen (15) days via our contact form or info@gspeech.io. Character credits are included in the plan, not sold as a separate cash balance. Credits already used to generate audio are consumed; we do not reverse those generations or pay extra for used characters. Unused credits in the period are not paid out separately. After a refund, paid-plan access ends. Previously generated files remain available under your then-current plan (including Free). Lifetime purchases through AppSumo are refunded under AppSumo’s own policy, not this 15-day Company refund.

Website allowances and generation allowances are separate. Where a plan includes unlimited websites, this does not mean unlimited audio generation. The account's generation allowances apply across the websites and projects managed under that account unless the purchased plan expressly states otherwise.

7. DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

• Application: This Section applies to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws. Some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages, so some of the below terms may not apply to you. Company’s affiliated entities, owners, and agents are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section. No advice or information obtained by you through the Service or otherwise shall alter the terms stated in this Section.
• Disclaimer of Warranties: TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, COMPANY, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF, ITS MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS, AND AFFILIATES, EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING OUR WEBSITE AND THE SERVICE, ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT IN ADDITION TO ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE. COMPANY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT (A) THE WEBSITE OR SERVICE WILL FUNCTION OR BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME OR LOCATION; (B) ANY ERRORS OR DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED; (C) THE WEBSITE OR SERVICE ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS; OR (D) THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR EXPECTATIONS. COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE WEBSITE AND SERVICE.
• Limitation of Liability: TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY, ITS MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, INTERRUPTION OF YOUR BUSINESS, LOST DATA OR CONFIDENTIAL OR OTHER INFORMATION, LOSS OF PRIVACY, COSTS OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES, FAILURE TO MEET ANY DUTY INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION OF GOOD FAITH OR OF REASONABLE CARE, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF THE FORESEEABILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES. COMPANY ASSUMES NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR (I) ANY ERRORS, MISTAKES, OR INACCURACIES THROUGH THE PROVISION OF THE SERVICE; (II) ANY PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, RESULTING FROM YOUR USE OF OUR SERVICE; (III) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF OUR SERVERS OR YOUR ACCOUNT OR ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION STORED THEREIN; (IV) ANY INTERRUPTION OR CESSATION OF TRANSMISSION TO OR FROM OUR WEBSITE; OR (V) ANY BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, OR THE LIKE THAT MAY BE TRANSMITTED TO OR THROUGH OUR SERVICE BY ANY THIRD PARTY; (VI) ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF ANY CONTENT POSTED, EMAILED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE SERVICE. IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY, ITS MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, PARTNERS, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY CLAIMS, PROCEEDINGS, LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR COSTS IN AN AMOUNT EXCEEDING $100.00 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE LAST THIRTY DAYS. THIS SECTION APPLIES WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER BASIS. YOU AGREE THAT THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK AND IS A FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN COMPANY AND YOU. THE SERVICE WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED WITHOUT SUCH LIMITATIONS.
• Your Responsibility for Loss or Damage; Backup of Data: You agree that your use of the Service is at your sole risk. You will not hold Company or its licensors and suppliers, as applicable, responsible for any loss or damage that results from your access to and/or use of the Service, including without limitation any loss or damage to any of your Content, computers, mobile devices, including without limitation tablets and/or smartphones, or data. The Service may contain bugs, errors, problems, or other limitations. Company provides Cloud Processing and does not require access to your servers. You are solely responsible for backing up your website, CMS, and any text or files you submit to the Service. Audio stored in the GSpeech Cloud is not a substitute for your own backups of original content.

Audio and Translation Review. Automated speech and translation can contain pronunciation, meaning, or other errors. You should review results before publication or delivery, particularly for consequential uses. We do not guarantee monetization, distribution, or acceptance by YouTube, audiobook distributors, advertising networks, or other third-party platforms. Their rules apply independently of our permission to use the audio.

8. ASSUMPTION OF RISK; INDEMNITY BY YOU

• Assumption of Risk: You knowingly and freely assume all risk when using the Service. You, on behalf of yourself, your personal representatives, and your heirs, voluntarily agree to release, waive, discharge, hold harmless, defend, and indemnify Company and its stockholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, consultants, representatives, sublicensees, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Company Parties”) from any and all claims, actions, or losses for bodily injury, property damage, wrongful death, emotional distress, loss of privacy, or other damages or harm, whether to you or to third parties, that may result from your use of the Service.
• Indemnification: Without limiting any indemnification provision of this Agreement, you (the “Indemnitor”) agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Company and the Company Parties (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, actions, demands, causes of action, and other proceedings (individually, a “Claim”, and collectively, “Claims”), including but not limited to legal costs and fees, and providing sole and exclusive control of the defense of any action to Company, including the choice of legal counsel and all related settlement negotiations, arising out of or relating to: (i) the relationship between you and Company, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory; (ii) your breach of this Agreement, including without limitation any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement; (iii) your access to or use of the Service; (iv) your provision to Company or any of the Indemnitees of information or other data; (v) your violation or alleged violation of any foreign or domestic, international, federal, state, or local law or regulation; or (v) your violation or alleged violation of any third party's copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights. The Indemnitees each have the individual right, but not the obligation, to participate through counsel of their choice in any defense by you of any Claim as to which you are required to defend, indemnify, or hold harmless any, each, and/or all Indemnitees. You may not settle any Claim without the prior written consent of the concerned Company Parties.

9. MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION

• Modifications: Internet technology and the applicable laws, rules, and regulations change frequently. Company reserves the right to change and modify this Agreement and its Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, at any time, including by posting a new version on https://gspeech.io or by other notice to you. It is your responsibility to review this Agreement and the Privacy Policy periodically. If at any time you find either this Agreement or the Privacy Policy unacceptable, you must immediately cease using the Service. Your continued use of the Service after modified terms are posted confirms your acceptance to those terms. Additionally, the Company reserves the right to modify, without prior notice, the presentation, configuration, and content of our website and the Service.
• Termination: Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time upon written notice to the other party. Company may also immediately terminate this Agreement, your Account, and your use of the Service at any time without notice, including for suspected violation of these Terms or any applicable law, or discontinuation of the Service. All payment obligations outstanding at the time of termination, the Section 4 permissions and restrictions applicable to previously generated audio, the Previously Generated Audio paragraph of this Section, and Sections 7, 8, 10-14 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Previously Generated Audio. Ending or not renewing a paid subscription does not by itself revoke the permissions in Section 4 for audio lawfully generated during that paid access and downloaded by you or delivered to a client. Those permissions remain subject to the restrictions applicable to that audio and do not protect unlawful use. Continued access to generation, players, cloud storage, and downloads depends on your then-current plan and our retention policy; permission to use a downloaded file is not a promise to host it indefinitely.

10. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

GSpeech, the GSpeech logo, GSpeech website domain(s), and all content and other materials available through https://gspeech.io and the Service (collectively, the “Company IP”), exclusive of user Content, are the trademarks, copyrights, and intellectual property of and owned by Company or its licensors and suppliers. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, neither your use of the Service nor this Agreement grant you any right, title, or interest in, or any license to reproduce or otherwise use, the Company IP. You agree that any goodwill in the Company IP generated as a result of your use of the Service will inure to the benefit of Company, and you assign all such goodwill to Company. You shall not at any time challenge Company’s right, title, or interest in, or the validity of, the Company IP.

Our intellectual-property reservations do not override the permissions for generated audio expressly granted in Section 4. Those permissions concern audio output and do not grant ownership of, or access to, our software, voice models, or underlying technology. You retain the rights you hold in the materials you supply.

11. THIRD PARTY WEBSITES

Our website and/or the Service may link to and reference the websites and content of third parties (“Third Party Websites”), some of whom may have established relationships with Company and some of whom may not. Company does not have control over the content or performance of Third-Party Websites. Company has not reviewed and cannot control all Third-Party Websites. Accordingly, the Company does not represent, warrant, or endorse any Third-Party Websites, or the accuracy, currency, content, fitness, lawfulness, or quality of the information, material, goods, or services available through the Third-Party Websites. Company disclaims, and you agree to assume all responsibility and liability for any damages or other harm, whether to you or to third parties, resulting from your use of Third-Party Websites.

12. CONSENT TO RECEIVE ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS

By registering for an Account or providing your email through the Service, you expressly consent to receive electronic and other communications from Company, over the short term and periodically, including email communications. These communications will be about the Service, new product offers, promotions, and other matters. You may opt out of receiving electronic communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions contained in each communication or by contacting us via our contact form or at info@gspeech.io. We may still send you non-promotional communications.

13. CUSTOMER SERVICE

Company has customer service support to assist with any issues regarding the Service. The official channel is our contact form. You may also email info@gspeech.io. We will do our best to respond to all requests to keep our customers satisfied. We reserve the right to limit or cancel support in the following situations: (a) unreasonable behavior by a user, such as bad language, racism, etc.; (b) continued/repeating issues that cannot (or should not) be resolved by us; and (c) user is not cooperative in providing additional details regarding the issues raised.
