In particular:

"Your Content" includes:

As between you and Listel:

• You grant Listel a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, and display Your Content as needed to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Services and as otherwise permitted under this Agreement.

If your account is provided or managed by a company or organization (for example, your employer), that organization may control access to and ownership of Your Content, subject to its own policies and agreements with you.

4.2 Our Content and IP

All rights, title, and interest in and to the Services (including the App, website, software, algorithms, analytics, templates, and documentation) and any improvements or derivative works are owned by Listel or our licensors.

Except for the limited license granted to you in Section 2, these Terms do not grant you any rights in or to our intellectual property.

• We are required to do so by law or court order.

We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of suspensions or terminations when legally permitted.

8. Beta Features

From time to time, we may offer beta or pre-release features ("Beta Features"). Beta Features may be labeled as "beta," "preview," or similar and may be provided for evaluation and testing only.

Beta Features:

• May be changed or discontinued at any time;
• May not be as reliable or fully documented as other features;
• Are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind.

Your use of Beta Features is at your own risk, and we disclaim all liability arising from such use to the fullest extent permitted by law.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

Without limiting the foregoing, we do not warrant that:

• The Services will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free;
• Transcription or analytics will be 100% accurate;
• The Services will meet your requirements or expectations.

You are responsible for verifying the accuracy of any transcripts, summaries, or insights before relying on them.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

Listel will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, loss of data, or business interruption, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

• Any claim that Your Content or your use of the Services infringes or misappropriates any third party's rights.

12. Changes to the Services and Terms

We may update the Services and these Terms from time to time.

If we make material changes to these Terms, we will provide notice by updating the "Last updated" date and may provide additional notice (such as email or in-app notice).

Your continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Services.
