Terms of Service

Last updated: March 5, 2026

1. Acceptance

By using Scout, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the service.

2. The Service

Scout provides voice-to-text dictation software as a subscription service. We provide a desktop application that captures audio from your microphone, sends it to a third-party speech-to-text provider for transcription, and injects the resulting text at your cursor position.

3. Accounts

You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. One account per person — shared or automated accounts are not permitted.

4. Free Trial

New users receive a 7-day free trial with a 3,000-word weekly limit. A valid payment method is required to start the trial. You will be automatically charged at the end of the trial unless you cancel before it expires.

5. Subscription & Billing

Scout Pro is available at $12/month or $120/year ($10/month). Subscriptions auto-renew. You can cancel at any time through your account settings or the Stripe customer portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the service for any unlawful purpose
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the software
• Share your account or authentication tokens with others
• Abuse the service by generating excessive API requests or circumventing usage limits
• Use the service to build a competing product

7. Intellectual Property

Scout and its source code, design, and branding are proprietary. Your subscription grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the desktop application for its intended purpose. Your dictated content belongs to you — we claim no ownership of your text.

8. Disclaimers

Scout is provided "as is." Transcription accuracy depends on audio quality, accent, and the underlying speech-to-text provider. We do not guarantee 100% accuracy. The service may experience downtime for maintenance or due to third-party provider outages.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Scout's total liability is limited to the amount you paid in the 12 months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account for violations of these terms, including abuse, non-payment, or fraudulent activity. You may delete your account at any time.

11. Changes

We may update these terms. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. Material changes will be communicated with at least 30 days notice.

12. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States.
