Terms of Service

Last updated: October 16, 2026 · Effective: October 16, 2026

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using LiteDaemon ("the Service", "the App") operated by LiteDaemon ("we", "us", "our"), accessible at litedaemon.xyz.

By downloading, installing, or using LiteDaemon, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Description of Service

LiteDaemon is a desktop software application for Windows, macOS, and Linux that provides AI-powered voice typing functionality. The software allows users to dictate text into any application using their microphone and an AI transcription model.

We offer two plan types:

  • BYOK (Bring Your Own Key): You provide your own OpenAI API key. Your audio is processed directly via your API key. We do not handle your audio data.
  • Cloud: We provide the API infrastructure. Audio is processed via our backend and the transcribed text is returned to your device.

2. License

Upon purchase of a valid plan and activation of a license key, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use LiteDaemon on up to two (2) devices registered to you, for the duration of your active subscription.

You may not:

  • Share, resell, or transfer your license key to others
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the software
  • Use the software for illegal purposes
  • Remove or alter any copyright notices

3. Subscriptions & Payments

LiteDaemon is sold as a recurring subscription (monthly or annual). Payments are processed by Dodo Payments, a third-party payment processor. By purchasing, you agree to Dodo Payments' terms as well.

  • Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each billing cycle unless cancelled
  • You can cancel anytime from your Dodo Payments customer portal
  • Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period
  • No refunds are provided for partial billing periods (see Refund Policy)

4. License Keys & Device Activation

Upon successful payment, a license key is delivered to your registered email address. Each license key can activate up to two (2) devices. You may deactivate a device from within the app (Settings → Deactivate Device) to free up a slot.

License keys are personal and may not be shared. If we detect abuse (sharing keys publicly, activating more devices than allowed), we reserve the right to revoke the key without refund.

5. BYOK Plan — API Key Responsibility

If you use the BYOK plan, your OpenAI API key is stored locally on your device only. We never transmit or store your API key. You are solely responsible for:

  • Keeping your API key secure
  • Any costs incurred via your OpenAI account
  • Ensuring you have a valid OpenAI account

6. Privacy

Your privacy matters. Please read our Privacy Policy for details on how we handle data. In summary:

  • BYOK users: We process no audio data. All processing happens locally via your key.
  • Cloud users: Audio is temporarily processed on our servers and immediately discarded after transcription. We do not store audio recordings.

7. Intellectual Property

LiteDaemon is built on OpenTypeless, an open-source project licensed under the MIT License. Our custom additions (payment system, branding, website) are proprietary.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses. Use of the Service is at your own risk.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, LiteDaemon shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data, revenue, or profits, arising from your use of the Service.

Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 3 months prior to the claim.

10. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access immediately, without prior notice, if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your license to use the software ceases immediately.

11. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify users of significant changes via email or an in-app notice. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of India.
