Terms & Conditions

1. Who we are

Breathless is provided by Daniel Akers trading as Danmade Studios ("we", "us"). By using Breathless you are contracting with Daniel Akers trading as Danmade Studios. Contact: info@danmadestudios.com.

2. Acceptance

By creating an account or continuing to use Breathless, you agree to these terms. If you use Breathless for an organisation, you confirm you have authority to bind it; otherwise you confirm you are of legal age.

3. The service

Breathless is browser-based software that detects breaths in spoken-word audio and mutes them without changing the recording's length. Your audio is processed on your own device and is not uploaded to us. You can claim 30 free minutes of processing at a time, up to 3 times, by giving us your email address — no account needed; further use requires a monthly plan, where 1 credit equals 1 minute of audio and unused plan minutes stay in your account for 12 months.

4. Your account

Keep your sign-in details confidential and accurate. You are responsible for activity under your account.

5. Acceptable use

You must not misuse Breathless, including: using it unlawfully; fraud or spam; infringing anyone's intellectual property; interfering with its security (malware, probing, scraping); reverse engineering it; reselling or redistributing it; or circumventing usage limits.

6. Your audio and intellectual property

You keep all rights in the audio you process and the files Breathless produces. You must have the rights to any audio you process. Because your audio stays on your device, we do not host it. If you believe Breathless is being used to infringe your rights, email info@danmadestudios.com; we will investigate, and repeated or serious infringement will lead to suspension or termination of the account.

7. Our intellectual property

We own Breathless and all of its software, documentation and branding. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use it within your plan.

8. Payments and subscriptions

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. Payment, billing, renewal, tax, cancellation and refund terms are set out in Paddle's Buyer Terms. Subscriptions renew monthly until cancelled; you can cancel any time and keep access until the end of the paid period. See our Refund Policy.

9. Service level and warranties

We work hard to keep Breathless accurate and available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free performance, or that every breath will be detected. Always check processed audio before publishing it. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

10. Liability

Our total liability is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits, data or goodwill. Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or anything else that cannot be limited by law.

11. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or end your access for material breach of these terms, non-payment, security or fraud risk, or repeated or serious policy violations. When access ends, your account data is deleted; your audio was never stored by us.

12. Changes and general terms

We may update these terms and will post the new version here. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond reasonable control. You may not transfer your account without our consent. These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction.
