Terms of Service
BayanListening for macOS
Effective: June 3, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, or using BayanListening (“the App”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.
2. Description of Service
BayanListening is a macOS application that provides:
- Video playback with dual subtitle support
- AI-powered transcription of audio and video content
- AI chat for discussing video content
- Note-taking with rich text and multimedia attachments
- Automatic highlight detection and chapter analysis
- Cloud synchronization across devices (opt-in)
The App requires an internet connection for transcription, AI chat, and cloud sync features. Basic video playback and local note-taking work offline.
3. Your Account
Cloud Sync and certain features require you to sign in with your Apple ID. You are responsible for:
- Maintaining the security of your Apple ID credentials
- All activity that occurs under your account
- Notifying us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account
4. User Content
You retain all rights to content you create or upload while using BayanListening, including but not limited to:
- Videos, audio files, and other media you open or sync
- Transcription results derived from your content
- Notes, annotations, and highlights you create
- Chat messages you send to the AI
We do not claim ownership of your content. Your content is processed solely to provide the services you requested (transcription, AI analysis, cloud sync).
4.1 AI-Generated Content
AI chat responses, highlight suggestions, and chapter analyses are generated by artificial intelligence and are provided “as is”. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of AI-generated content. You should independently verify any information provided by AI features.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use BayanListening to:

6. Service Availability
We strive to provide continuous availability but do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service with reasonable notice.
Scheduled maintenance will be performed with advance notice when possible. The App’s core local features (video playback, note-taking) remain available without internet.
7. Data Processing
Our handling of your data is described in detail in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the App, you also agree to our Privacy Policy.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless BayanListening and its founders, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the App or violation of these Terms.
12. Changes to Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the “Effective” date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, through a prominent notice in the App. Your continued use of the App after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation, and if necessary, through binding arbitration.
14. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
