Terms of Use

Using Morse means you accept these terms. If you are using it for an employer, you are accepting them for that organisation, and you are telling us you are allowed to.

If you do not accept them, do not use Morse. That is the only remedy either of us needs here.

Morse holds video meetings, records them where recording is switched on, transcribes them as they happen, and writes notes from the transcript afterwards. What it does is described on this site, and it changes as we build it.

Morse is young. Features arrive, change shape and occasionally leave. We will not remove something you depend on without notice, but we are not promising the product will stand still.

You sign in either with Google or with an email address and a password. If it is Google, keeping your account safe mostly means keeping your Google account safe. If it is a password, choose one you have not used anywhere else and do not share it. What happens under your account is your responsibility either way.

If your account belongs to a work domain, your organisation administers it. They may grant it, remove it, or look at the meetings held on it under the limits in the privacy policy.

One person per account. Do not share sign-ins.

This is the obligation that matters most, and it is yours rather than ours.

When you host a meeting on Morse, everything said in it is transcribed. In many places the law requires that everyone present knows that, and sometimes that they agree to it, before it starts. Whether that applies is a question about where your participants are, not where we are.

So: tell the people in your meeting that Morse is writing it down, and get their consent where consent is required. If someone objects, do not transcribe them. Morse shows participants that a meeting is being transcribed, but a notice in an interface is not the same as your having asked, and we are not in a position to ask on your behalf.

• Break the law with it, or help anyone else to.
• Record or transcribe people who have not been told, where telling them is required.
• Upload content you have no right to, or anything unlawful.
• Harass, threaten or impersonate anyone.
• Attack the service: break into it, overload it, probe it, or work around its limits.
• Scrape it, or take it apart to rebuild it.
• Resell access to it, or run someone else's product on top of it, without our agreement.

We may suspend an account doing any of this. Where the harm is ongoing we may do it immediately, and explain afterwards.

Your meetings, transcripts, notes and files belong to you. We claim nothing in them.

To actually run the service we need permission to handle them: to carry your audio, transcribe it, generate notes from it, store it, and show it to the people you share it with. That permission is limited to running Morse for you, and it ends when you delete the content or close your account.

Anyone can join a meeting from a link without an account. Guests are bound by these terms for as long as they are in the meeting, and see only the meeting, never its notes or its transcript.

Who you give a link to is your decision and your responsibility.

Paid plans are billed in advance through Stripe and renew on their own until you cancel. Cancelling stops the next renewal; the plan runs to the end of the period you already paid for.

Prices can change. If they change for a plan you are on, we will tell you before the renewal it applies to, so you can leave instead. Except where the law says otherwise, payments already made are not refundable.

Unpaid invoices will eventually cost you access to the paid features, not your data.

Read this one properly.

Transcription and summaries are produced by machines. They mishear names, they mangle words in languages they were not expecting, and a summary can state something the meeting did not decide or miss something it did. Accuracy varies with accent, audio quality and how many people talk at once.

So a Morse transcript or summary is a useful record, not an authoritative one. Do not use it as evidence of what was agreed, as a legal or medical record, or as the basis of a decision that matters, without a person checking it against what actually happened. Each note carries a timestamp back to the line it came from precisely so it can be checked.

We want Morse up and we work to keep it up, but we do not currently offer a service level agreement. It will occasionally be unavailable, for maintenance and for reasons we did not plan.

Morse is provided as it is, without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows us to say so.

Neither of us is liable to the other for indirect or consequential losses: lost profit, lost business, lost data beyond our obligation to keep it, or anything neither of us could reasonably have foreseen.

Our total liability to you for anything arising out of Morse is limited to what you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or, if you have not paid us anything, to nothing.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

You can stop using Morse whenever you like, and ask us to delete your account by writing to hello@onmorse.com.

We may end your access if you break these terms, or if we stop offering Morse. If we shut the service down we will give you notice and a way to take your data with you.

These terms and the privacy policy are the whole agreement between us about Morse. If a court finds one clause unenforceable, the rest survives it. Our not enforcing something once does not mean we have given it up.

We may amend these terms. The date at the top changes when we do, and we will tell you about changes that materially affect you.

This agreement is governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from it.
