By using BasedVox, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

What BasedVox provides

BasedVox provides coaching-style feedback about communication, decisions, and scenarios. It is not a substitute for professional medical, mental health, or legal advice.

How the service works

When you submit text, it is sent to our servers and processed using artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) to generate scores and feedback. Your text may be processed by third-party AI providers (such as xAI) as part of this service.

Basic scores are available without an account. To access full feedback (including coach notes, summaries, and suggested rewrites), you must sign in using a social login provider.

Account and authentication

You may sign in using third-party authentication providers including Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, and X (Twitter). By signing in:

You authorize us to receive basic profile information (such as your name, email address, and profile picture) from your chosen provider.
You agree to the terms and privacy policies of the authentication provider you use.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials with those providers.

Safety and emergencies

BasedVox is not an emergency service. If you are in immediate danger or considering self-harm, contact local emergency services or a crisis hotline.

Acceptable use

Do not use the service to harass, threaten, or abuse others.
Do not submit illegal content.
Do not attempt to break, probe, or reverse-engineer the service.
Do not rely on outputs as your only source of truth for high-stakes decisions.
Do not submit sensitive personal information of others without their consent.
Do not use automated tools to scrape, spam, or abuse the service.

Your content

You are responsible for what you submit. Do not submit content you do not have the right to share. You retain ownership of text you submit, but you grant us a limited license to process it for the purpose of providing the service.

AI-generated content disclaimer

All feedback, scores, and rewrites are generated by AI and may contain errors, biases, or inappropriate content. The output does not represent the views of BasedVox or its operators. Review all suggestions critically before use.

Mobile applications (iOS and Android)

BasedVox LLC publishes mobile applications on the Apple App Store and on Google Play, including Guruvox Library, the companion app for our Guruvox service. These Terms apply to those apps as well as to the website, and this section applies to them in addition.

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use our apps on devices you own or control. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, redistribute, sublicense, or create derivative works of an app, or remove any proprietary notice from it, except where that restriction is prohibited by law. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

Our apps do not scan, index, or upload the contents of your phone. Photos, videos, and text leave your device only when you pick or submit them. Device permissions (photo library, camera, microphone, notifications) are requested at the point of use, may be declined, and may be withdrawn at any time in your device settings.

Guruvox Library also lets an account owner capture sticky field notes (typed or dictated). Dictation uses the microphone only while you are dictating; speech is turned into text on the device, and we do not receive the audio. When you stick the note, only the text is sent to our servers. Material you submit through an app — including sticky-note text — is treated exactly as material submitted through the website, under our Privacy Policy and the “Your content” section above. To delete your data, see Data Deletion Instructions.

We distribute our apps only through the Apple App Store and Google Play: no other channel is authorised, and a build obtained anywhere else is not ours and is not supported. Your device may update an app automatically according to your own settings. We may change an app, drop support for older operating system versions, or withdraw an app entirely. Carrier data charges are yours. Your use of each app is also governed by the terms of the store you obtained it from: the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, including the Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement, for the App Store, and the Google Play Terms of Service for Google Play. Where a store term conflicts with a term here, the store term governs for that store's copy of the app, to the minimum extent of the conflict.

Apple. These Terms are between you and BasedVox LLC only, not with Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the app or its content. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for the app. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the app. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the app, including product liability claims, any claim that the app fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation, nor for investigating, defending, settling, or discharging any claim that the app infringes a third party's intellectual property rights. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this section and may enforce it against you.

Google. Google is not a party to these Terms, is not responsible for our Android apps, and provides no support for them. Support requests for any of our apps go to admin@basedvox.ai, never to Apple or to Google.

Third-party services

BasedVox uses third-party services to operate, including:

Authentication providers: Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, X (Twitter) for sign-in.
AI/LLM providers: For processing your text and generating feedback.
Cloud infrastructure: For hosting and data storage.

Your use of these services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies.

Privacy, deletion, and legal requests

Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how we use it. If you want to request deletion of your data, see Data Deletion Instructions.

We may disclose information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with valid legal process or lawful requests from public authorities, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users, the public, or our service. When we receive such requests, we aim to review them for legality and scope, minimize disclosure, and object or challenge requests when appropriate and permitted.

Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use after an update means you accept the updated Terms.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the service at any time if we believe you have violated these Terms, if required to do so for legal or security reasons, or to protect the service and other users.

Disclaimer of warranties

The service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BasedVox and its operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (a) your use of or inability to use the service; (b) any conduct or content of any third party; or (c) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless BasedVox and its operators from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the service or your violation of these Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where the service operator is located, without regard to conflict of law principles.
