(Last revised: July, 2024)
The speax.ai website and the other Services are brought to you by Limytd AG with its registered office in Zug, Switzerland (“Limytd AG”) and its Affiliates (collectively, “Speax”, “we,” “us,” or “our”). Speax is an AI-powered dubbing software that allows immediate dubbing of video files in several languages or even certain geographical or sociolinguistic dialects within a given language and offers the possibility to sync the dubbing with the lip movements of the characters in the video.
When a user, whether acting individually or on behalf of another person or legal entity, (“you” or “User”) accesses our Services or makes use of our Services, User has clicked on the acceptance box during the sign-up procedure and therefore agrees to, and is deemed to have explicitly accepted, the terms and conditions set out in this document (“Terms”).The moment you access or use of the Services (each time the “Effective Date”), you are subject to and you agree to be bound by these Terms. Therefore, read these Terms carefully before, as they represent a legally enforceable agreement between you and us.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES.
Speax grants you access to and use of the Services, consisting of:
(each a “Service” and collectively "the Services").
By accessing or using the Services in any way, including without limitation by visiting the Website, or downloading the applications, you represent that (1) you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms; (2) you are 18 years or older, or of the age of majority in your local jurisdiction, whichever is higher, and legally capable of forming a binding contract with us; and (3) you have the authority to enter into these Terms personally or on behalf of the legal entity for whom you are using the Services. You are responsible for all activities that occur during your use of the
Services. You agree that you shall monitor your use of the Services to restrict use by minors, and you will accept full responsibility for any unauthorized use of the Services by minors.
The Services are controlled and offered by Limytd AG from Switzerland. Limytd AG makes no representations that the Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations. You may not use the Services if you are located in, or a citizen or resident of any state, country, territory or other jurisdiction WHERE YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WOULD AMOUNT TO ANY VIOLATION of any applicable law either by you or by us, which is your obligation to check before using the Services. Those who access or use the Services from countries other than Switzerland do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law. These Terms are binding even if our efforts to prevent the use of the Services fail and/or can be circumvented. You understand and accept that WE ARE NOT LIABLE for any damages that may occur to you as a result of your usage of the Services and that there will be NO REIMBURSEMENTS for such damages. You hereby agree to release us of all prospective liabilities arising therefrom. FURTHER RESTRICTIONS OR LIABILITIES (Section 4 “Acknowledgments”, Section 5 “Disclaimer; No Liability”, Section 6 “Your Warranties”, Section 7 “Indemnifications”) APPLY TO YOU.

Your continued use of the Services after any modification constitutes your consent, whether or not you have explicitly accepted said modifications. Any changes to the Terms will be effective immediately. PLEASE REGULARLY CHECK THE WEBSITE TO VIEW THE THEN-CURRENT TERMS.

You can upgrade or downgrade your Subscription anytime. Upgrades are effective immediately. Downgrades take effect at the beginning of the next Billing Cycle. In addition, you can purchase additional Credits anytime under your current Subscription without upgrading your current plan.
Under an unterminated Subscription, Credits that remain unused at the end of a Billing Cycle Credits roll over to the next Billing Cycle.

Although Limytd AG does not generally monitor User activity occurring in connection with the Services or its content, if Limytd AG becomes aware of any possible violations by you of any provision of these Terms, Limytd AG reserves the right to investigate such violations, and Limytd AG may, at its sole discretion, immediately terminate your license to use the Services, or change, alter or remove your User Upload, User Date, the Dubbing or the Dubbed Product in your User Account, in whole or in part, without prior notice to you.

Upon receipt of your termination notice or your deletion of your User Account, your Subscription will be terminated at the end of the current Billing Cycle and all unused Credits will definitely be forfeited at the end of the current Billing Cycle WITHOUT ANY REFUND.

We have the right to assign, subcontract, license and sublicense any or all of our rights and obligations hereunder.
If you have any questions, complaints or claims with respect to the Services, please contact us at [email protected]. We will do our best to address your concerns. If you feel that your concerns have been addressed incompletely, we invite you to let us know for further investigation.
Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of these Terms on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. Any delay or failure in exercising any right shall not constitute a waiver unless such waiver is expressly confirmed in writing.
The set-off of User’s claims against Speax against claims of Speax against User is completely excluded.
The processing of personal data shall be in accordance with our Privacy Policy available at [https://speax.ai/privacy-policy].
If any portion of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner to reflect, as nearly as possible, its original meaning, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
These Terms are the final, complete and exclusive agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between you and us with respect to such subject matter.
All claims and disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms will be litigated EXCLUSIVELY BEFORE THE COMPETENT COURTS AT THE REGISTERED OFFICE OF Limytd AG. You agree that any dispute is personal to you and us and shall only be resolved by an individual litigation and that You will only be permitted to pursue disputes or claims and seek relief against Us on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. You hereby expressly, irrevocably and unconditionally waive any right you may have (i) to bring a dispute as a class action or any other representative proceeding before the competent court and (ii) to submit or consolidate your claim with those of other claimants. No court shall have the authority to consolidate claims, nor shall it have the power or authority to interpret the legality or enforceability of this Section.
