Effective April 28, 2026. These terms govern your use of the Shruvi website, downloads, and desktop application. Please read them carefully.
By downloading, installing, or using Shruvi, you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms") and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service. "Shruvi," "we," "us," and "our" refer to the operator of the Shruvi service.
You must be at least 13 years old to use Shruvi (or 16 if you are in a jurisdiction that requires it). If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you may use Shruvi only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to these Terms on your behalf. By using the service, you confirm you have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement.
Shruvi is a proprietary desktop dictation product. It is currently offered as a beta service. Features may change, improve, or be removed as the product evolves. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue parts of the service at any time, with or without notice, to the extent permitted by law.
Some features require an account. You agree to provide accurate information, keep your credentials secure, and take responsibility for activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that are used abusively, fraudulently, or in ways that threaten the security, reliability, or lawful operation of the service.
When you use Shruvi, you agree that you will not:
You keep ownership of the audio you record and the text Shruvi produces from it ("Your Content"). By using the service, you grant Shruvi a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to process Your Content solely for the purpose of operating, securing, and supporting the service (for example, to run transcription, sync your history across devices, and respond to support requests).
Shruvi does not use Your Content to train its own models. See the Privacy Policy for how audio and transcripts are handled, including retention.
Shruvi uses machine-learning systems to transcribe speech and clean up text. These systems can produce inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading output, even when results look fluent and detailed. You are responsible for reviewing transcribed text before relying on it, especially in contexts where errors could have legal, financial, medical, or safety consequences. Shruvi makes no representations or warranties about the accuracy, completeness, or suitability of any output.
Shruvi is a beta product. It may contain bugs, downtime, or behavior changes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Shruvi is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or trade usage.
We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that defects will be corrected.
Shruvi is currently free during beta. There is no active checkout flow today. If paid plans launch later, Shruvi will publish pricing, billing terms, and any refund, renewal, or cancellation policies before charges are possible. Continued use of paid features after pricing is published will be subject to the billing terms in effect at that time.
Shruvi, its software, designs, logos, branding, documentation, and related materials are the property of Shruvi or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights in the software and do not grant you any right to redistribute, resell, or create derivative works of the service, except as expressly permitted by law.
Feedback you voluntarily send us may be used without restriction to improve the service.
You may stop using Shruvi and delete your account at any time by contacting [email protected]. We may suspend or terminate your access with reasonable notice if you breach these Terms, if your use creates risk of harm or legal exposure, or if your account has been inactive for an extended period.
Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including ownership, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, and dispute resolution — will survive.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Shruvi and its officers, employees, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising out of or related to your use of the service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total aggregate liability for any claims arising out of or related to the service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid Shruvi in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred United States dollars (USD 100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Shruvi from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to (a) your use of the service in violation of these Terms, (b) content you dictate or submit, or (c) your violation of any law or third-party right, including any failure to obtain consent required to record or transcribe another person's speech.
These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the service will be resolved in the courts located in India, and you consent to their exclusive jurisdiction and venue.
Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights. If you are a consumer, you may have additional rights under the mandatory laws of your country of residence that cannot be overridden by this clause — those rights continue to apply.
We may update these Terms as the service evolves. The "Effective" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent version. For material changes, we will provide reasonable notice where appropriate. Your continued use of Shruvi after an update means you accept the updated Terms.
If you have questions about these Terms or any privacy matter, contact [email protected].
