These terms govern your use of the mobile app Handwritting to Text (the “App”), published by Ai4u Limited (“we”, “us”). By installing or using the App you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it. Our website, emokee.org, has its own terms of service.
Licence
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on devices you own or control, in accordance with these terms and the rules of the app store you downloaded it from. The App requires a supported version of iOS or Android, and recognition may require an internet connection.
Your content
You keep all rights to the images you scan and to the text the App produces from them. We claim no rights over them; where recognition is performed by a service, you grant us and that service only the limited right to process the image for the purpose of returning the recognised text to you.
You are responsible for having the right to scan the material you use and for how you use the output. Do not scan documents you are not permitted to copy or that contain other people’s personal information without a lawful basis to do so.
Recognition is automated and may contain errors, especially with unclear handwriting, poor lighting or unusual layouts. Check important text yourself before relying on it, and do not rely on the App for medical, legal, financial, safety-critical or similar decisions.
Free and paid features
The App can be used free of charge with a basic set of features. If optional paid features are offered, what they include and what they cost is shown in the App before you buy. We may add, change or retire features over time.
Purchases
- Billing. Payment is collected by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) through the account you used to download the App. We never receive your payment details. Prices are shown in your local currency before you buy and may differ by country.
- Subscriptions. If a feature is sold as an auto-renewing subscription, it renews automatically for the same period at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your store account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. If a free trial is offered, its length and the price charged afterwards are shown before you start it, and your store account is charged when the trial ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand.
- Cancelling. Manage or cancel a subscription in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for; the remainder of that period is not refunded.
- Restoring purchases. Purchases are tied to your store account, not to an account with us. Use “Restore purchases” in the App to reactivate them on a new or reset device signed in with the same store account. Purchases do not transfer between the App Store and Google Play.
- Refunds. Because Apple and Google collect the payment, refunds are handled by them under their own refund policies. Request a refund through the App Store or Google Play; if you run into trouble, write to us and we will help where we can.
- Price changes. If we change the price of a subscription, you will be notified through the store before the change takes effect and may cancel beforehand.
Acceptable use
- Do not use the App in any way that breaks applicable law or infringes the rights of others, including scanning material you have no right to copy.
- Do not use the App to collect other people’s personal information without a lawful basis.
- Do not copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile or redistribute the App, and do not attempt to bypass feature restrictions, purchase verification or usage limits, or to overload the recognition service.
- Do not misrepresent your affiliation with us.
Intellectual property
The App — including its software, design, text, graphics and the emokee and Handwritting to Text names and logos — belongs to Ai4u Limited or its licensors. You may not use our names, brands or logos without our prior written permission. Nothing in these terms grants you rights beyond the licence described above.
Third-party services
The App relies on Apple and Google for distribution, payments and operating-system services, and on a text-recognition service for recognising handwriting. Their terms and policies apply to their services. We are not responsible for third-party services.
App store terms
These terms are between you and Ai4u Limited, not Apple Inc. or Google LLC. Apple and Google are not responsible for the App or its content, have no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it, and are not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product-liability, consumer-protection or intellectual-property claims. If the App fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify the store you bought it from for a refund of the purchase price; to the maximum extent permitted by law, the store has no other warranty obligation. You must comply with the store’s own terms when using the App. Apple, Google and their subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you. You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Updates and availability
We may update the App to add, change or remove features, and updates may be required to keep using it. We may also stop offering the App or any paid feature, and recognition may be temporarily unavailable. Where reasonably possible we will give notice in the App or on our website.
Termination
You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it. We may suspend or end your access to the App if you breach these terms. The sections on your content, intellectual property, disclaimer, limitation of liability and governing law survive termination.
Disclaimer
The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty that recognised text will be accurate or complete, that any particular handwriting or language will be recognised, or that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free. Nothing in the App constitutes legal or professional advice.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Ai4u Limited will not be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from your use of the App, including loss arising from errors in recognised text, and our total liability for any claim relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid for the App in the twelve months before the claim arose. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, including your statutory rights as a consumer.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and any dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Hong Kong courts. If you are a consumer, you may also benefit from mandatory consumer-protection rules of the country where you live.
Changes
We may update these terms from time to time; the current version will always be posted on this page with its effective date. For material changes, we will also let you know in the App. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the updated terms.
