GigaDuck OÜ Tornimäe tn 5, 10145 Tallinn, Estonia Registry code: 17501858 (Estonian Business Register)

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Conduck application (“App”) provided by GigaDuck OÜ (“we,” “us,” “our”), a private limited company (osaühing) incorporated under Estonian law, registry code 17501858, with registered office at Tornimäe tn 5, 10145 Tallinn, Estonia.

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

These Terms supplement Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA). Where these Terms conflict with Apple’s EULA, Apple’s EULA prevails to the extent required by Apple’s policies.

2. What the App Is

Conduck is a voice and text client for an AI assistant that you provide. It does not include an AI service, a transcription service, or any server operated by us. To use it, you supply:

a speech-to-text method — Apple’s on-device recognition (default, no account needed) or a cloud provider for which you hold the API key; and
an AI gateway — a server you operate or subscribe to — together with its access token.

The App captures your speech or text, transcribes it (on-device or via your chosen provider), sends it with your conversation context to your gateway, and shows you the reply. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple CarPlay.

What the App does not do:

Operate any backend, server, or account system (you are identified only by a random on-device ID)
Store your audio, messages, or replies on our servers (we have none)
Provide, host, or pay for transcription or AI services — those are yours

3. AI Transparency (EU AI Act)

The App is an interface to AI systems that you configure. In the spirit of the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689):

Speech-to-text is performed by Apple’s on-device models or by a third-party provider you select.
Responses are generated by the AI gateway you connect to, which is outside our control.
AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading. Transcription accuracy varies with audio quality, accent, and language; generated replies may be wrong.

You are responsible for reviewing AI-generated output before relying on it, especially for professional, legal, medical, or financial use. GigaDuck OÜ does not guarantee the accuracy or fitness for purpose of any output, which is produced by services you chose, not by us. If you publish AI-generated or AI-manipulated content to inform the public on matters of public interest, you may have a disclosure obligation under EU AI Act Article 50(4).

4. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old. If you are under 18, you represent that you have a parent’s or guardian’s permission to use the App.

5. Pricing

The App has no subscription and no usage limits. It may offer a single optional tip — a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase — to support development. Tips are processed by Apple through the App Store; payment is charged to your Apple ID. Refund requests must be directed to Apple under their policies; GigaDuck OÜ does not process payments or issue refunds directly.

You are separately responsible for any costs charged by the transcription provider or AI gateway you configure. Those are billed by those providers, not by us.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

Use the App for any unlawful purpose, or to process content illegal in your jurisdiction;
Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent permitted by law;
Interfere with the App or attempt to defeat its security measures;
Resell or redistribute your access to the App;
Operate the App on Apple CarPlay in any way that distracts you from safe driving. The in-car interface is for hands-free voice use; you remain responsible for compliance with your local laws on driver attention.

You are solely responsible for the configuration you supply (provider keys, gateway address) and for the content you send and receive through your own services.

7. Intellectual Property

You retain all rights to your recordings, your messages, and the AI replies you receive. We claim no ownership and store none of it; your conversation history lives only on your devices and in your iCloud.

8. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how the App handles data — in short, we operate no servers and receive none of your audio, messages, replies, keys, or gateway details. By using the App you acknowledge that you have read it.

9. Third-Party Services

The App depends on services you configure, plus Apple’s platform:

Apple — distribution, StoreKit (tips), iCloud/CloudKit (your conversation history and settings), Watch Connectivity, and CarPlay frameworks.
A transcription provider you select (optional; the default is Apple on-device).
The AI gateway you operate or subscribe to.

These services have their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for them and do not guarantee their availability. Because the App relies on services and connectivity you provide, we do not guarantee uninterrupted operation.

10. Availability and Changes

The App is provided “as available.” We may update, modify, or discontinue features at any time; material changes will be communicated through App Store release notes or in-app notices. If we discontinue the App, your locally stored conversation history remains in your iCloud until you delete it.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

The App is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
GigaDuck OÜ is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the App.
GigaDuck OÜ is not liable for the output, availability, cost, or data practices of the transcription provider or AI gateway you configure.
GigaDuck OÜ’s total liability shall not exceed the amount you have paid us (if any) in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including for gross negligence or wilful misconduct. These limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by Estonian law and the law of your jurisdiction.

12. Indemnification

You agree to hold harmless GigaDuck OÜ from claims, damages, or expenses arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the App, including your use of third-party services you configured.

13. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Estonia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. If you are an EU consumer, you also benefit from the mandatory consumer-protection provisions of your country of residence, and you may use the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. Disputes that cannot be resolved amicably shall be settled by the courts of Tallinn, Estonia, unless mandatory consumer-protection law in your jurisdiction requires otherwise.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will update the “Last Updated” date and post notice in the App or through App Store release notes. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

15. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it. We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms or as required by law. On termination, your right to use the App ends; your conversation history remains in your iCloud until you delete it.

16. Miscellaneous

Entire Agreement. These Terms, with our Privacy Policy and Apple’s Standard EULA, are the entire agreement regarding the App. Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. No Waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Assignment. We may assign these Terms in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale; you may not assign yours. Language. These Terms are drafted in English; the English version prevails.
