1. About Venturetakes
Venturetakes ("we", "us", "our", "Service") is a mobile application that delivers AI-generated summaries and key takeaways from publicly available podcast episodes in the venture capital, startup, and technology space.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Venturetakes. By using the Service you confirm you are at least 13 years of age (or the age of digital consent in your country if higher).
2. Your Account
Some features of the Service require you to create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. You agree to:
- Provide accurate and current registration information
- Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized use of your account
- Not share your account with others or create accounts for others without their consent
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that have been inactive for an extended period.
3. Subscriptions and Payments
Venturetakes offers both a free tier and a Premium subscription at $4.99 per month.
Free tier: Includes access to a limited number of summaries each month as described on our pricing page. We may change free tier limits with notice.
Premium subscription:
- Billed monthly at $4.99 USD (or the local equivalent at time of purchase)
- Automatically renews each billing period unless cancelled
- Grants unlimited access to summaries, full transcripts, and all premium features during the subscription period
- Managed and processed through Apple App Store or Google Play via RevenueCat
Billing: Your subscription is billed through the platform you used to subscribe (Apple or Google). All billing, invoicing, and payment disputes are governed by Apple's or Google's terms of service, as applicable.
Price changes: We may change subscription pricing with at least 30 days' notice. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the new price.
4. Cancellation and Refund Policy
You may cancel your Premium subscription at any time through your App Store or Google Play account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you retain Premium access until that date.
Refunds are handled exclusively by Apple or Google according to their refund policies. Venturetakes does not issue refunds directly. To request a refund for an App Store purchase, visit reportaproblem.apple.com. For Google Play, visit the Google Play Help Center.
In exceptional circumstances (e.g., extended service outages directly caused by Venturetakes), we may offer account credits at our sole discretion.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- Reproduce, distribute, or resell summaries or transcripts outside of personal, non-commercial use
- Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract content from the Service through automated means
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the app
- Circumvent any access controls, rate limits, or subscription restrictions
- Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation
- Transmit malware, spam, or any content that is illegal, defamatory, or harmful
- Violate any applicable law or regulation
Violation of these restrictions may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account without refund.
6. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer
AI models can make errors, miss context, or misrepresent the meaning of source content. While we work to ensure quality, we cannot guarantee that summaries are complete, accurate, or up to date.
You should independently verify any information before relying on it for investment decisions or any other purpose. Venturetakes is not responsible for any decisions you make based on content delivered through the Service.
7. Intellectual Property
All original content created by Venturetakes — including the app design, brand, logo, summary format, and underlying software — is owned by Venturetakes and protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
Podcast content summarized by the Service remains the property of its original creators and rights holders. Venturetakes operates under fair use principles for summarization and does not claim ownership over source podcast material.
You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes. This license does not include the right to sublicense, distribute, or create derivative works.
8. Third-Party Services
The Service integrates with third-party providers including RevenueCat (subscription management), Apple (App Store distribution and billing), Google (Play Store distribution and billing), and cloud infrastructure providers. Use of these services is governed by their respective terms of service and privacy policies.
We are not responsible for the practices or content of third-party services linked to or integrated with our Service.
9. Service Availability
We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted access to the Service. The Service may be temporarily unavailable for maintenance, updates, or due to factors outside our control (e.g., third-party outages, force majeure events).
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature of the Service with reasonable notice. Where we discontinue a paid feature without a comparable replacement, we will offer a prorated refund or credit.
10. Disclaimer of Warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, VENTURETAKES DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, secure, or that defects will be corrected.
11. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VENTURETAKES AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
IN NO EVENT WILL OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO VENTURETAKES IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Venturetakes and its affiliates from any claims, liabilities, damages, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any third-party rights.
13. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions.
Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Service will be resolved through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. You waive any right to a jury trial or class action. This arbitration clause does not prevent either party from seeking emergency injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.
If you are located in the European Union, you may also be entitled to bring a claim in the courts of your place of residence.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you via email or an in-app notice at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the Service after that date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
The current version of these Terms is always available at venturetakes.com/terms.
15. Termination
Either party may terminate the relationship at any time. You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms, with or without prior notice depending on the severity of the breach.
Upon termination, your license to use the Service ends immediately. Sections 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, and 13 survive termination.
