("we", "us", "ReplayWell, s. r. o.", or "SpokenData"), you ("you", "User", "End User") signify your agreement to these terms and conditions (the "Terms of Service"), and incorporated herein by reference. I agree that I'm at least 18 years of age.

If you do not agree to any of these terms, please do not use the Service.

Although we may attempt to notify you when major changes are made to these Terms of Service, you should periodically review the most up-to-date version at http://spokendata.com/terms. SpokenData may, in its sole discretion, modify or revise these Terms of Service and policies at any time, and you agree to be bound by such modifications or revisions. Nothing in these Terms of Service shall be deemed to confer any third-party rights or benefits.

Service

These Terms of Service apply to all users of the Service, including users who are also contributors of Content on the Service. "Content" includes the text, software, scripts, sounds, music, videos, audiovisual combinations, generated metadata, interactive features and other materials you may view on, access through, or contribute to the Service.

The Service may contain links to third party websites that are not owned or controlled by SpokenData. SpokenData has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party websites. In addition, SpokenData will not and cannot censor or edit the content of any third-party site. By using the Service, you expressly relieve SpokenData from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website. Accordingly, we encourage you to be aware when you leave the Service and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each other website that you visit.

Audio Analysis

The Service may be used to analyse audio or video content, coming from a direct upload from your computer, or a direct download, through a link to the video. This process is hereinafter referred to as "Audio analysis" process.

The Audio analysis process is a fully automatic process, no human is involved at anytime during the analysis.

Generated metadata

Once the Audio analysis process is finished, you are provided with time-based information that describes your Audio. It is the "Speech to text", "Voice activity detection", "Text to audio alignment", and “Speaker Segmentation”, hereinafter referred to as "Generated metadata". SpokenData does not guarantee that there will be "Generated metadata" after the Audio analysis process. Some audios or videos can yield no result at all.

Metadata editor

The User is allowed to modify the Generated metadata using editor available by SpokenData. SpokenData is not responsible for errors in Generated metadata caused by the User.

Beta Program

SpokenData has not released a commercial version of the Service, and the Service has not yet been tested like other commercially released services that you may use. Therefore, it is likely that the Service will contain errors, including errors that may cause the Service or your computer to malfunction or cause a loss of data. Furthermore, SpokenData is not obligated to correct errors, correct the effects of errors (e.g., fix your computer or recover lost data), or provide any technical support related to use of the Service.

To help SpokenData prepare the Service for commercial release, SpokenData is providing you with access to the Service so that you can test and evaluate the Service and provide feedback concerning the Service, including identifying potential errors and improvements ("Feedback"). You hereby grant SpokenData the unrestricted right to use your Feedback, including to use your Feedback to improve the Service and to create other products and services.

Generated metadata copyright

The copyright of the Generated metadata is the property of the User. No one else has the rights to publish them, including SpokenData. The User grants SpokenData the right to store the transcripts as part of delivery of the service and for the purpose of ongoing improvement to the service.

Video or audio data copyright

By uploading video or audio data files to the Service, the User:

  • implies he holds the necessary rights to do so according to relevant laws and contractual or other relationships and is solely responsible for any copyright infringement committed in the act of upload;
  • allows SpokenData fully automatic processing of the data and temporary storage of intermediate and final outputs for 1 year;
  • allows SpokenData to maintain usage statistics resulting from the processing of this data for the purpose of improving quality of the Service.

To access features of the Service, you will have to create a SpokenData account. It's absolutely forbidden to use another's account without explicit permission. On account creation, you must provide accurate, up-to-date and complete information.
