1. Agreement to these Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Ahmet Ozan Yilmaz (“Hudson,” “we,” “us”). They govern your download, installation, and use of the Hudson application and related services (the “Service”). By clicking “I agree,” installing, or using the Service, you accept these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements.
3. License
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use one copy of the Service on devices you own or control, for your personal use. We reserve all rights not expressly granted.
4. Purchase and refunds
- One-time purchase. Hudson is sold as a single one-time purchase of USD $79. There is no subscription, recurring billing, or auto-renewal, and there is nothing to cancel. Once purchased, your license does not expire and you are not billed again.
- Seller of record. Your purchase is sold and processed through Polar, which acts as the Merchant of Record for the transaction. Polar handles payment processing and the calculation, collection, and remittance of applicable taxes. Your purchase is also subject to Polar's terms, and Polar's name may appear on your receipt and payment statement.
- Refunds. All sales are final and payments are non-refundable, except where a refund is required by applicable law.
- Price changes. We may change the purchase price at any time; any change applies only to purchases made after it takes effect and does not affect a purchase you have already made.
5. Your data and privacy
Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which describes what the Service collects, how it is processed, and your choices. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
6. Recording, monitoring, and third-party consent — your responsibilities
The Service can capture on-screen activity, application content, and audio (including meeting audio) from your device, and can transcribe conversations. You are solely responsible for using these features lawfully. In particular, you represent and agree that:
- You will obtain any consent required by law from all parties before recording, transcribing, or capturing any conversation, meeting, or communication. Many jurisdictions require the consent of all participants to record a conversation; the required consent may depend on where each participant is located.
- You have the necessary rights and permissions to capture, store, and process any content, communications, or personal information of third parties that the Service processes on your behalf.
- You will not use the Service to capture information in any context where you lack the legal right to do so, including others' private communications, or in violation of any applicable wiretapping, privacy, employment, or data-protection law.
You will indemnify us for claims arising from your failure to obtain required consents or your unlawful use of the recording, monitoring, or capture features (see Section 13).
7. AI features
The Service uses artificial intelligence to generate summaries, answers, notes, and other outputs. AI outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your purpose. Outputs are provided for informational purposes only and are not professional advice of any kind (legal, medical, financial, or otherwise). You are responsible for reviewing and verifying any output before relying on it. See our separate AI Disclaimer for details, which is incorporated by reference.
8. Acceptable use
You will not: (a) reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code except as permitted by law; (b) resell, sublicense, or provide the Service to third parties except as expressly allowed; (c) use the Service to violate any law or the rights of others; (d) circumvent usage or licensing limits; (e) use the Service to build a competing product; or (f) interfere with the Service's operation or security.
9. Intellectual property
The Service, including all software, models, and content we provide, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms grant you a license, not a sale. Content you create with the Service (such as your notes) remains yours; you grant us only the limited rights described in the Privacy Policy needed to operate the Service.
10. Third-party services
The Service may rely on third-party services (for example, payment processing, account hosting, or model providers). We are not responsible for third-party services, and your use of them may be subject to their terms.
11. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT OUTPUTS WILL BE ACCURATE. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of the above may not apply to you.
12. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE (USD $79). Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, so they may not fully apply to you.
13. Indemnification
You will indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, your violation of any law, or your infringement of any third party's rights — including any claim arising from your recording, capture, or processing of others' communications or data without required consent.
14. Term and termination
These Terms apply while you use the Service. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or if required by law. You may stop using and uninstall the Service at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including 9, 11, 12, 13, and 16) will survive.
15. Changes
We may modify the Service or these Terms. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will provide notice (for example, in-app or by email). Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
16. Governing law and dispute resolution
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable statutory rights you have under the law of your place of residence. This section does not prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief for intellectual-property or unauthorized-use claims.
17. Miscellaneous
These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the AI Disclaimer are the entire agreement between us. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them to a successor. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
