Terms and Conditions

1. Publisher and legal information

These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") govern your purchase and use of pepito, a macOS application that records, transcribes and summarizes meetings entirely on your device (the "Software"). By purchasing, downloading or using pepito, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not purchase or use the Software.

2. Order processing — Paddle as Merchant of Record

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns.

By placing an order, you also agree to Paddle's Buyer Terms and Privacy Policy. Paddle is the seller of the license to you and issues your invoice.

3. License grant

Subject to your full payment and your compliance with these Terms, the Publisher grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual license to install and use pepito. The license entitles a single named user to install and use pepito on macOS devices that this user personally owns or controls and uses exclusively for their own work. The license is strictly personal: it cannot be assigned to a workstation, a position, a function, or to multiple users (whether simultaneously or in rotation).

The license is granted for the version of the Software you purchase (currently the v1.x line). Minor updates within that line are included for the duration of the line. Major upgrades introducing substantially new functionality may require a new purchase, at our discretion.

3.1 Use within an organisation

If pepito is purchased and used in a professional context, the named licensed user is the individual who actively uses the App, regardless of who pays for it. An employer may purchase licenses on behalf of its employees, but each license remains attached to one named individual user.

For deployments covering multiple users, contact us at legal@sodadi.fr for volume or site licensing terms.

4. Restrictions

You agree not to, and not to permit any third party to:

• copy, redistribute, resell, sublicense, rent, lease or share the Software or your license key;
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or attempt to derive the source code of the Software, except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law;
• remove, alter or obscure any proprietary notices on the Software;
• use the Software for any unlawful purpose or in violation of recording-consent laws applicable to you.

You also agree not to:

• share, transfer, lend or otherwise make your license available to any other person, whether within or outside your organisation;
• install or activate the Software on devices used by anyone other than the named licensed user;
• use the Software in a multi-user, time-sharing, kiosk, server, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) or similar shared environment, where it could be accessed by users other than the named licensed user.

5. Recording responsibility

Recording-consent laws vary by jurisdiction. pepito does not handle consent on your behalf. You are solely responsible for complying with all laws, regulations and policies applicable to your recordings, including obtaining the consent of the participants when required.

6. Refunds

Our refund policy is described on a separate page: see Refund Policy. As permitted by Article 16(m) of EU Directive 2011/83/EU and Article L221-28 12° of the French Code de la consommation, the right of withdrawal does not apply once you have expressly consented at checkout to the immediate delivery of the digital content and waived your right of withdrawal.

7. Intellectual property

The Software, including its code, design, trademarks and documentation, remains the exclusive property of the Publisher (or its licensors, where applicable). No intellectual property rights are transferred to you under these Terms; only the limited license described in section 3 is granted.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Software is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Statutory consumer warranties under French law (notably Articles L217-3 et seq. of the Code de la consommation) and any other mandatory consumer protections apply where relevant and are not affected by this clause.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Publisher's total cumulative liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Software shall not exceed the amount actually paid by you for the license. The Publisher shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, loss of data, loss of profits or business interruption, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Mandatory consumer protections under French and EU law are not waived.

10. Termination

The license terminates automatically if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, you must stop using and uninstall the Software. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, governing law) will survive.

11. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by French law. For disputes with business customers, the competent courts are those of the registered office of SODADI. For disputes with consumers, French law applies but consumers may bring proceedings in the courts of their country of residence, as provided by EU Regulation 1215/2012 (Brussels I bis, art. 17-18).

For consumers located in the European Union, the European Commission provides an Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

12. Consumer mediation

In accordance with Articles L611-1 et seq. of the French Code de la consommation, in case of an unresolved dispute, you may refer the matter free of charge to our consumer mediator: CNPM-MC (Centre National de la Médiation Pour la Consommation), 27 avenue de la Libération, 42400 Saint-Chamond, France — https://www.cnpm-mediation-consommation.eu. The list of approved consumer mediators is available at economie.gouv.fr/mediation-conso.
