Terms & Conditions

Last updated May 29, 2026

These Terms & Conditions govern your use of the Freestyle desktop app, this website, and related services (together, “Freestyle”). By downloading or using Freestyle, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use it.

1. The software license

Freestyle is open-source software. Your right to use, copy, modify, and distribute the application itself is granted under the terms of its open-source license, which is included with the source code. Where that license and these terms differ regarding the software, the license controls.

2. Acceptable use

You agree to use Freestyle lawfully and responsibly. In particular, you will not:

  • Use Freestyle to record or transcribe anyone without the consent required by the laws that apply to you.
  • Use it to break the law, infringe others' rights, or transmit unlawful or harmful content.
  • Misrepresent the software as your own original work in violation of its license.

3. Your content

Anything you dictate or transcribe with Freestyle is yours. Because transcription happens on your device by default, we don't receive, claim, or store your content, and we assert no ownership over it.

4. Third-party model providers

If you connect Freestyle to a third-party transcription provider, you are responsible for your own account, API keys, and any fees those providers charge. Your use of their services is subject to their terms and policies, and we are not responsible for those services or their availability, accuracy, or billing.

5. Intellectual property

The Freestyle name, logo, and brand are ours and may not be used in a way that suggests endorsement or affiliation without permission. This does not limit any rights granted to the source code under its open-source license.

6. Disclaimer of warranties

Freestyle is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy of transcription, and non-infringement. You use it at your own risk.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Freestyle maintainers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for any loss of data, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) Freestyle.

8. Changes to Freestyle and these terms

We may update, change, or discontinue parts of Freestyle, and we may revise these terms from time to time. When we update the terms, we'll change the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use Freestyle after a change means you accept the revised terms.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws applicable where the Freestyle project is operated, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Nothing here limits any rights you may have under mandatory consumer-protection laws in your place of residence.
