Terms of Service
Last updated: June 11, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and LLC "Functionsoft", a limited liability company registered in Ukraine (company number 45258227), with its registered office at 23 Dniprovska Naberezhna, Kyiv, 02081, Ukraine ("Functionsoft", "we", "us", or "our"). They govern your access to and use of the Aloudo - TTS Reader browser extension, the website at aloudo.com, paid features, and related services (together, the "Service"). By installing, accessing, purchasing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. The Service
Aloudo - TTS Reader is a browser extension that converts text into speech using synthetic and AI-generated voices. You can listen to the audio and, depending on your plan, download or export it. The voices are synthetic and are provided through third-party voice providers.
2. Eligibility
You may use the Service only if you can form a binding contract with us and are not barred from doing so under applicable law. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you confirm that you are authorized to accept these Terms on its behalf.
3. License to use the Service
Subject to these Terms and to payment of any applicable fees, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the Service for your own lawful personal or internal business purposes. You do not acquire ownership of the Service, and all rights not expressly granted are reserved by us and our licensors.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to, and not to allow anyone else to:
- use synthetic or AI voices to imitate or clone the voice of a real person without their explicit consent;
- create deepfakes or content that misleads people about who is speaking;
- produce unlawful, defamatory, harassing, hateful, or deceptive content;
- infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any person;
- violate the terms of the underlying voice providers, or use the Service to send spam;
You are responsible for the text you submit and for how you use the generated audio, and for ensuring that this is lawful in your jurisdiction.
5. Rights in generated audio
Whether you may use generated audio for a particular purpose, including commercial use, depends on the terms of the relevant voice provider and on your compliance with these Terms. We make no warranty that the generated audio is cleared or free for any specific use, and you are responsible for checking the applicable provider terms.
6. Paid plans, billing, and Paddle
Some features require a paid plan. Our order process and payments are handled by Paddle (Paddle.com Market Ltd and its affiliates), which acts as the Merchant of Record (reseller) for purchases of the Service. Paddle is the seller of record for your transaction, handles billing, and is responsible for collecting and remitting applicable taxes such as VAT or sales tax. Your purchase is also subject to Paddle's buyer terms.
Subscriptions are billed in advance and renew automatically until canceled. You can cancel at any time through the Paddle customer portal, the link in your Paddle receipt, or by contacting billing@codebrix.io. Cancellation stops future renewals but does not, by itself, refund the current period, except as set out in our Refund Policy or required by law. We may change prices or plan features prospectively, and such changes do not affect a period you have already paid for.
7. Lifetime plans
A "Lifetime" plan provides access to the Service for as long as we continue to offer it and the relevant product remains available. It does not mean perpetual access if the Service is discontinued. If we permanently discontinue the Service, we will handle outstanding Lifetime entitlements fairly and in accordance with applicable law.
8. Third-party websites and services
The Service interacts with, and may rely on, third-party websites and services. We do not control and are not responsible for them, their content, or their terms, and your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their terms.
9. Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, source code, design, user interface, text, and trademarks, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to the voice provider terms, the audio you generate is yours to use within these Terms; we do not claim ownership of it and are not responsible for it.
10. Availability and changes to the Service
We may update, change, limit, or discontinue all or part of the Service, with or without notice, to the extent permitted by law. We aim to keep the Service available, but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.
11. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements or be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including mandatory consumer rights.
12. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for the Service through Paddle in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the liability, or EUR 50. This does not limit liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including mandatory consumer rights.
13. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, if you use the Service in breach of these Terms or applicable law, you will indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, losses, and reasonable costs arising from that use. This clause does not apply to consumers where prohibited by law.
14. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, fail to pay applicable fees, create a legal or security risk, or use the Service in a prohibited or abusive way. On termination, the license granted to you ends, and provisions that by their nature should survive (such as intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law) will survive.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time, for example, to reflect changes in the Service, the law, or our business. We will post the updated version on this page and update the "Last updated" date, and where changes are material, we will provide reasonable notice. Your continued use of the Service after the changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
16. Governing law and disputes
If you are a consumer resident in the EU or EEA, these Terms and your use of the Service are governed by the laws of your country of residence, you keep the mandatory consumer protections of that country, and you may bring proceedings before the courts of that country. For all other users, and to the extent permitted by law, these Terms are governed by the laws of Ireland, and the courts of Ireland have non-exclusive jurisdiction. EU consumers may also use the European Commission online dispute resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
17. Feedback
If you choose to send us feedback, ideas, or suggestions about the Service, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual license to use them for any purpose, including to improve the Service, without any obligation or compensation to you.
18. General
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Refund Policy, form the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and replace any prior agreements on that subject. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. We are not responsible for any delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control. We may give you notices through the Service, the website, or the email address associated with your purchase.
