Terms of Use

Last Updated: August 7, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using AuraLinter ("the App"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2. License

The AuraLinter iOS App is licensed under Apple's Standard End User License Agreement (EULA) as distributed through the App Store. You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App on any iOS device that you own or control, subject to the App Store Usage Rules.

You may not distribute, sublicense, reverse engineer (except as permitted by law), or modify the App's binary. Availability of source code in a public repository does not by itself grant permission to copy, modify, redistribute, or operate it. Any separate source-code rights must be stated in an express license file or written permission from Maker Portal LLC.

3. Managed Service and Source Code

App Store builds use AuraLinter's managed service. A source repository may be published for transparency or development, but this page does not grant a source-code license or promise a supported self-hosted consumer service. If a repository later contains an express license, that license controls only the material and uses it identifies.

4. Measurements, Answers, and Enhanced Audio — No Warranty

AuraLinter provides automated recording measurements, AI-assisted DSP answers, neural speech enhancement, and an automated mastering chain. These outputs are estimates and creative processing choices, not guarantees that a recording is error-free, suitable for publication, or compliant with a platform, broadcaster, accessibility rule, or professional standard.

  • Measurements and cited answers may be incomplete, inaccurate, or inapplicable to your recording.
  • Speech enhancement may introduce artifacts, remove wanted sound, or change the character of a voice.
  • Automated mastering may produce tonal, dynamic, or loudness choices you do not prefer.
  • Export compatibility depends on the destination platform and the source media.

Keep the original recording, compare the Original and Improved versions, and review the exported result before publishing or replacing any source media.

5. Audio Safety Disclaimer

Processed or imported audio can contain unexpectedly loud output signals. Source recordings, enhancement artifacts, gain changes, or playback-device settings can result in:

  • Output levels that exceed safe listening thresholds, potentially causing hearing damage.
  • Signal clipping, DC offset, or other artifacts that could damage audio equipment.
  • Unexpected differences between preview playback and another device or platform.

Start playback at a low volume, review the Original/Improved A/B, and monitor important exports before publication. AuraLinter is not a hearing-safety, broadcast-compliance, or emergency-warning system.

6. Managed Backend Service

If you use our managed service, currently hosted at https://auralinter.fly.dev, the following additional terms apply:

  • The managed service is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. We make no guarantees about uptime, response time, or request throughput.
  • We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the managed backend service at any time.
  • Rate limits and usage caps apply. Misuse or abuse may result in suspension of an anonymous installation credential or service access without notice.
  • The App creates and stores its managed-service installation credential automatically in the iOS Keychain. Do not attempt to extract, share, or reuse that credential outside the App.
  • Audio is staged temporarily for processing and removed under the retention practices described in our Privacy Policy; completed run records may be retained separately.

7. AuraLinter Pro Allowances

AuraLinter Pro Weekly includes 10 Fix & Enhance sessions and 20 Ask questions during each 7-day subscription period.

AuraLinter Pro Monthly includes 20 Fix & Enhance sessions and 50 Ask questions during each monthly subscription period.

Full-episode checks use no per-use credits. Full-episode enhancement is limited to 3 nonfailed submissions per rolling 24 hours. This episode limit is separate from the weekly or monthly sync Fix & Enhance allowance.

Allowances reset with each Apple subscription period and do not roll over. There is no free trial at launch. Your original recording remains available even when a Pro allowance is exhausted.

8. Subscription Terms

Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. Available plans, localized prices, and included allowances are shown before purchase.

9. Intellectual Property

AuraLinter, its name, logo, and branding are the intellectual property of the AuraLinter project. The App icon, UI design, and original code are protected by copyright. Third-party trademarks (Apple, iOS, App Store, FastAPI, LangGraph, etc.) are the property of their respective owners.

You retain ownership of your audio recordings and other content you submit. We do not claim ownership over user-generated content or AI-generated outputs.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, AuraLinter and its contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages arising from your use of the App, the managed backend, automated measurements, answers, or enhanced audio. This includes, without limitation:

  • Hearing damage or injury from audio output
  • Damage to audio equipment or devices
  • Data loss or corruption
  • Costs of substitute software or services
  • Any other commercial or personal damages

Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction with the App or service is to stop using it.

11. Privacy

Your use of AuraLinter is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how audio, anonymous installation identity, subscription and usage records, and contact form data are handled. By using the App, you agree to the data practices described in the Privacy Policy.

12. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date. Material changes will be communicated through the App or the website. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of California.
