Terms of Use — SayCopyPaste
Last updated: July 26, 2026 · Effective: May 13, 2026
Bravely Studios LLC (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the SayCopyPaste application (the “App”). These Terms of Use govern your use of the App. Please read them carefully before using the service.
Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, or using the SayCopyPaste application (the "App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
Description of Service
SayCopyPaste is a Mac menu-bar dictation utility. You hold the Globe / Fn key, speak, and on release the captured audio is sent to our hosted transcription service and the resulting text is written to your clipboard. The App also includes optional features such as a local vocabulary store, transcript history, and a 7-day free trial with paid tiers thereafter.
Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you are in the EEA, the UK, or another place where 16 is the age of consent for online services, you must be at least 16. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use the App only with the involvement of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms. By using the App you confirm you meet these requirements and that you are not barred from using it under the law that applies to you.
Hosted Transcription Service
SayCopyPaste sends captured audio to a transcription service hosted at bravely.dev. We absorb the transcription cost; you do not need a separate transcription account. Bravely Studios LLC reserves the right to throttle or suspend the service in response to abuse, malicious traffic, or sustained costs that materially exceed reasonable personal use.
Subscriptions, Trial & Billing
SayCopyPaste begins with a 7-day free trial; a credit card is required to start the trial, and the first charge occurs when the trial ends unless cancelled. SayCopyPaste is a paid app — there is no free tier. A paid plan (or active trial) provides unlimited dictation, vocabulary learning, and transcript history.
Paid tiers are sold through our merchant-of-record billing provider:
• Monthly subscription billed monthly until cancelled
• Annual subscription billed yearly until cancelled
• Lifetime — one-time purchase, all future updates included
Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled. Refunds are handled by the billing provider in accordance with its refund policy. Payment processing, sales-tax collection, and chargebacks are handled by that provider, not directly by us.
Refund Policy
We want you to be satisfied with your purchase. If SayCopyPaste is not a fit, you may request a refund under the following terms:
• Web purchases — monthly, annual, or lifetime: You may request a full refund within 30 days of your initial purchase or any renewal charge.
• Monthly subscriptions: You may cancel anytime; the current paid period remains active until its end. Refunds for monthly charges are considered on a case-by-case basis.
• After 30 days: Refund requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis at our discretion.
To request a refund, email support@bravely.dev with your order number or Bravely Account email. Refunds are processed by our billing provider and typically appear within 5–10 business days depending on your payment method.
Local Data and Privacy
Transcripts and vocabulary corrections are stored locally on your Mac under ~/Library/Application Support/SayCopyPaste. You are responsible for the security of that directory. We do not back it up, sync it, or have any access to it. See the Privacy Policy for full detail on what data leaves your machine and where.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
• Dictate audio you do not have the right to record (e.g. covertly recording a private conversation in a jurisdiction that prohibits one-party-consent recording)
• Use the App to transcribe content that violates the transcription service's acceptable-use requirements
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract Bravely-side cryptographic keys from the binary
• Use automated scripts to abuse the dictation pipeline beyond personal use
Auto-Updates
SayCopyPaste uses signed automatic updates over HTTPS from bravely.dev. By installing the App you authorize automatic update checks. You may disable scheduled checks in Settings; manual "Check for Updates…" remains available regardless.
Disclaimers
The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the App, the hosted transcription service, or bravely.dev will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any specific feature will continue to be supported indefinitely.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Bravely Studios LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, use, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the App or any third-party service it integrates with. Our total liability for any claim arising from these Terms or use of the App shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amount paid for the App in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, whether paid to us or through an app store, or (b) one hundred US dollars ($100). This does not limit any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
Termination
We may suspend or terminate access to the App if you violate these Terms or create legal/operational risk for Bravely Studios LLC or other users. You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. Subscription cancellation is handled through the billing portal; uninstalling does not by itself cancel a recurring subscription.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Kansas, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Except that the Resolving a Dispute section of these Terms is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, and subject to that section, which sends most disputes to individual arbitration, any dispute not subject to arbitration shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Kansas, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction. This does not apply to a claim brought in small claims court, or to any claim severed to court under the Resolving a Dispute section, either of which may be brought where you live. Nothing in this section removes a consumer-protection right, or the right to bring a claim in the courts of your own country, that the mandatory law of your place of residence gives you.
Apple App Store Terms
If you obtained the App from the Apple App Store, the following also applies and, for that copy of the App, overrides anything inconsistent elsewhere in these Terms:
• These Terms are between you and Bravely Studios LLC only, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
• Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App. Support requests go to support@bravely.dev.
• If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation 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 under consumer protection or similar legislation.
• Apple is not responsible for investigating, defending, settling, or discharging any third-party claim that the App infringes that party's intellectual property rights.
• You confirm you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance Apple has the right (and is deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.
Resolving a Dispute
This section was added on July 26, 2026. It applies to disputes that arise on or after that date. It does not apply to any dispute that had already arisen, or that you had already raised with us, before then.
Talk to us first. Before starting arbitration or a lawsuit, send a Notice of Dispute to legal@bravely.dev describing what happened, what you want, and how to reach you. We will do the same for you at the address on your account. All limitations periods are paused from the date a Notice of Dispute is sent until 60 days later, or until either of us says in writing that talks have ended, whichever comes first. Not sending a Notice of Dispute does not bar you from filing.
Individual arbitration. If we cannot resolve it, you and Bravely Studios LLC agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, the App, or our relationship will be settled by binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except for the carve-outs below. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit: a neutral arbitrator decides instead of a judge or jury, discovery is more limited, and the decision is final and enforceable in any court with jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the Governing Law section, this section is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
Who runs it. Arbitration is administered by the American Arbitration Association under its rules then in effect, including the Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Consumer Due Process Protocol where those apply to you. The AAA's rules are at adr.org. If the AAA is unavailable or declines to administer the case, the arbitration will be administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and its Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards. If neither is available, either of us may ask a court to appoint an administrator or arbitrator under Section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act.
Who pays. We pay all AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration you begin, other than the initial filing fee set by the applicable AAA fee schedule, and we will pay that too if you tell us it is a hardship. We pay these regardless of who wins. We will not seek our attorneys' fees or costs from you unless the arbitrator finds your claim was frivolous as measured by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b). Nothing here limits your right to recover attorneys' fees where a statute provides for them.
Where it happens. You may have the arbitration conducted on documents only, by telephone or video, or in person in the county where you live or have your principal place of business. You never have to travel to Kansas to bring a claim against us.
What is carved out. Either of us may bring an individual claim in small claims court where you live, if it qualifies. Either of us may ask any court for an injunction or other equitable relief to stop actual or threatened infringement or misuse of intellectual property, credentials, or confidential information. Nothing here stops you from reporting anything to a government agency.
Individual basis only. Claims are brought only in your own individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief only to the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent needed for that party's own claim. If a court decides this individual-basis requirement is unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief — including any request for public injunctive relief that the law says cannot be waived — then that specific claim or request is severed and proceeds in court, and everything else remains in arbitration. Any claim or request severed to court is stayed until the arbitration of the remaining claims is complete.
Jury trial. To the extent any dispute does proceed in court, you and we each waive the right to a jury trial, except where that waiver is not permitted by the law that applies to you. If a court finds this jury-trial waiver unenforceable, only that waiver is severed and the rest of this section still applies.
If we change this section. If we change this Resolving a Dispute section after the date you accepted it, the change does not apply to any dispute we already had written notice of, and you may reject the change by emailing legal@bravely.dev within 30 days of it taking effect. Rejecting a change leaves the version you accepted in force.
You can opt out. You may reject this Resolving a Dispute section entirely by emailing legal@bravely.dev on or before August 25, 2026, or, if you first accept these Terms after July 26, 2026, within 30 days of doing so. Put "Arbitration Opt-Out" in the subject and include the name and email address on your account. That is all it takes. Opting out affects nothing else — your account, your purchases, and your rights under the rest of these Terms are untouched, and we will not refuse or withdraw service because you opted out. If you opt out, disputes go to the courts named under Governing Law.
Where this does not apply. This section does not apply where the law that protects you does not allow it. If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia, or anywhere else whose mandatory consumer law gives you a non-waivable right to bring a claim in your local courts or to use a local dispute-resolution body, that right stands and this section does not limit it.
This section survives the end of your account or these Terms. If any part of it is found unenforceable, that part is severed and the rest still applies; the individual-basis requirement is severed in the specific manner described above and not otherwise. Where this section and the general Severability section conflict, this section controls.
