Terms of Use

Effective 2 November 2026.

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Communication Geometry LLC ("we", "us") for the Locus apps for Mac, iPhone and Apple Watch (the "App") and this website. By installing or using the App, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Who can use Locus

You must be at least 13 years old (16 where the law sets that age) and able to make this agreement. If you use the App for an organization, you confirm that you can accept these Terms for it.

2. Beta and TestFlight versions

Versions offered through TestFlight or marked as beta are previews. They can have errors, can change or stop, and are given for testing and feedback. Keep your own copies of anything important.

3. Your license to use the App

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, for your own personal or internal business use, under these Terms and the Apple Media Services usage rules. We keep all rights we do not grant here. You may not copy, sell, rent or redistribute the App, or remove its notices.

4. Your content

Your recordings, transcripts, notes, speaker names and other content ("Your Content") belong to you. The App processes Your Content on your devices; we do not receive it and we claim no rights to it. You are responsible for Your Content and for keeping your own backups.

Laws about recording conversations differ by place. Some require the consent of every person in the conversation. You are responsible for telling people you are recording and for getting any consent the law requires, including for saving a person's voice to recognize them later. Do not use the App to record anyone unlawfully.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Use the App in breach of any law or of anyone's privacy or other rights.
Reverse engineer, decompile or try to extract the App's source code or AI models, except where the law allows it.
Interfere with the App, our model downloads or our services, or try to get around their limits or security.
Use the App, its models or its output to build or train a competing product.

7. AI output

Transcripts, speaker labels, summaries, next steps and answers are made automatically by AI and can be wrong or incomplete. Check them before you rely on them. They are not medical, legal, financial or other professional advice.

8. Third-party software and models

The App includes software and AI models from third parties, including open-source components. They are licensed under their own terms, which are listed in the App or available on request. Those terms apply to those components.

9. Usage statistics and feedback

By default, you agree that the App sends us basic usage statistics to improve the product, such as which features you use and whether they worked. These statistics never include your audio, transcripts, notes, names, contacts, calendar or files. Some preview versions do not send them; the App's Settings say whether this reporting is active. Our Privacy Policy lists what the statistics include, how long we keep them and how to object.

If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without any duty to you.

10. Fees and subscriptions

Locus is free to download and use. Locus+ is an optional auto-renewable subscription sold through Apple, monthly or yearly, with a 14-day free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when the free trial ends. The subscription renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Prices are shown before you buy and can differ by country. Apple's terms govern billing and refunds.

11. Changes and updates

We may update, change or stop the App or any feature. We may change these Terms; we will post the new Terms here with a new date and, if a change is significant, tell you in the App or on this page. If you keep using the App after the change takes effect, you accept the new Terms.

12. Ending this agreement

You can stop at any time by deleting the App. We may suspend or end your license if you break these Terms. Sections 4 to 9 and 13 to 18 continue after this agreement ends. Your Content stays on your devices.

13. Disclaimer

To the fullest extent the law allows, the App is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and that the App will be accurate, uninterrupted or free of errors or loss of data. Some places do not allow these exclusions, so some may not apply to you.

14. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data, profits or business. Our total liability for all claims about the App is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the App in the 12 months before the claim, or US$100. These limits do not apply where the law does not allow them.

15. Indemnity

If a third party makes a claim against us because of Your Content, your recordings or your breach of these Terms or the law, you agree to defend and indemnify us against it, to the extent the law allows.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Before filing a claim, please email us so we can try to resolve it informally within 30 days. Courts in Delaware have exclusive jurisdiction, except that either of us may bring a claim in small-claims court, and you keep any rights the consumer laws of your country give you.

17. Apple App Store terms

If you got the App from Apple's App Store or TestFlight:

These Terms are between you and us, not Apple. We, not Apple, are responsible for the App and its content.
Your license is limited to Apple-branded products you own or control, as the Apple Media Services usage rules allow.
Apple has no duty to provide maintenance or support for the App.
If the App fails to meet any warranty that applies, you may tell Apple, and Apple may refund the price you paid (if any). Apple has no other warranty duty, to the extent the law allows; any other claims, losses or costs from a warranty failure are our responsibility.
If anyone claims that the App or your use of it infringes their intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, will investigate, defend, settle and discharge the claim.
We, not Apple, are responsible for any claims about the App, including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, consumer protection, privacy, and intellectual property claims.
You confirm that you are not in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or listed as a terrorist-supporting country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
You must follow any third-party terms that apply when you use the App.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

18. General

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about the App. If a part is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. If we do not enforce a right, we have not waived it. You may not transfer these Terms; we may transfer them with our business. You must follow export and sanctions laws that apply to the App.
