The agreement between you and us for using Yapivo
Last updated: October 30, 2026
Yapivo is made by Dream Meridian (“we”, “us”, “our”), an experimental software studio under Void Lattice.
These Terms govern your use of Yapivo for Mac, Yapivo for iPhone and iPad (the “iOS app”; together with Yapivo for Mac, the “App”), the website at yapivo.com (the “Website”), and the accounts, licences, subscriptions and services connected to them (together, the “Service”). By using the Service you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Anyone can use dictation without an account. To create an account you must be at least 13 years old, or older where the law of your country requires it (for example 16 in some EU countries). If you are under 18, you need a parent or guardian to agree to these Terms for you, and they must make or approve any purchase. If you use the Service on behalf of a company or other organization, you confirm that you are authorized to accept these Terms for it, and “you” includes that organization.
An account is not needed for free dictation, but some features require one. Keep your account information accurate and your password secure; you are responsible for activity under your account. Tell us promptly at hello@yapivo.com if you believe your account has been used without permission.
Dictation is free, unlimited and runs on your Mac, iPhone or iPad. It does not require an account or a payment.
Command is a one-time purchase (currently $79; the price shown at checkout applies). It gives you a perpetual licence to the version of the App you have when you buy it, plus every update we release during the 12 months after your purchase. After those 12 months you can keep using the last version released within that period for as long as you like. It is not a subscription: there is no recurring charge and nothing to cancel.
Delegate adds delegate mode and other task features, including following, approving and starting your agents’ work from your iPhone or iPad. It is sold as a subscription on the Website (currently $19.99 per month; the price shown at checkout applies) and as an in-app purchase in the iOS app (at the price the App Store shows). One subscription covers your Mac and your iPhone or iPad. When you subscribe:
If you bought “Yapivo Lifetime” before Command was introduced, your purchase keeps the terms it was sold under.
We may offer limited editions, launch offers or promotions (for example, a limited number of licences that include everything). Each offer’s description at the time of purchase says what it includes and any limits, and forms part of these Terms for that purchase. Where an offer is described as lasting “for the life of the product”, that means for as long as we, or a successor to whom these Terms are assigned (section 16), continue to offer Yapivo — not for the lifetime of any person, and not beyond the point at which Yapivo is discontinued as described in section 13.
Payments on the Website are processed by Stripe. You agree to provide accurate billing information and a valid payment method, and you authorize us to charge it for your purchases and, for subscriptions, each renewal. Prices do not include taxes unless stated; applicable taxes are added at checkout.
Purchases in the iOS app are billed by Apple to your Apple Account when you confirm them, under Apple’s terms. Apple handles their renewals and refunds; to ask for a refund, use Apple’s “Report a Problem”. The refund terms below apply to Website purchases.
Nothing in these Terms limits any refund right you have under the law of the place where you live.
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the App, for the features your plan includes, on the number of Macs shown when you bought it. Your licence to the iOS app is also governed by Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement; where it and these Terms differ about the iOS app, Apple’s agreement applies. Apple is not responsible for the iOS app or for supporting it. Licence keys are for your own use: you may not share, sell, rent, sublicense or transfer them, including any limited-edition licence.
You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer or decompile the App except where the law allows it despite this restriction; remove or bypass licence checks or feature limits; or use the Service to build a competing product.
Some features — including syncing, agents on your iPhone or iPad, and Radio — rely on our servers. Plans that include them, including one-time and limited-edition licences, are for normal personal or professional use. We may apply reasonable limits to prevent automated, excessive or abusive use, and will tell you if a limit affects your account.
Yapivo’s own AI features run on your Mac. AI agents you choose to use, such as Claude Code or Codex, run on your Mac with your own account at their provider, and that provider’s terms apply to what you send them, as described in our Privacy Policy. AI output, including what Zach and Quinn say, can be wrong, incomplete or inappropriate. Review it before you rely on it, send it, or let it change anything important. You own what you provide and what the AI features produce for you, subject to these Terms. You may not use the Service’s output to develop or train competing AI models.
Delegate mode, voice commands and agents carry out actions on your Mac, such as opening apps, typing, arranging windows, running commands, and moving, renaming or deleting files — including actions you approve from your iPhone or iPad. They act on your instructions and can misunderstand them. Where the App asks you to confirm an action, check it before you confirm. You are responsible for the actions you instruct or confirm, and for keeping backups of anything important. To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for loss or damage caused by actions you instructed or confirmed.
Your transcriptions and the other content you create or upload remain yours. You give us permission to store, process, sync and display your content only as needed to provide the Service to you — for example, to show your history on your other devices. We do not publish your content or share it with other users.
You are responsible for your content and for having the right to use it. Keep your own copies of anything important: although we take care, we do not guarantee that synced content will never be lost.
Do not use the Service to break the law or anyone’s rights; to harass, threaten or defraud anyone; to distribute malware or gain unauthorized access to any system or data; to interfere with the Service or its infrastructure; or to impersonate anyone. Do not create accounts by automated means. Your own AI agents may use the Service on your behalf where we offer a way for them to do so, and you are responsible for what they do.
Features marked beta, preview or early access are still being developed. They may change, stop working or be removed, and are provided as they are.
We improve the Service over time and may change or remove features. Buying a plan does not entitle you to any particular future feature — only to the updates we release that your plan covers.
If we discontinue Yapivo, we will give at least 30 days’ notice by email or in the App where we reasonably can. Features that run on your device will keep working in the version you have, as far as your operating system allows; features that depend on our servers or on third-party services may stop. Except where the law requires, discontinuation does not entitle you to a refund of a one-time purchase made more than 14 days earlier. If you have a subscription, it ends and you will not be charged again; any unused part of a period you have paid for will be refunded.
You can stop using the Service at any time, and you can delete your account from the App or the Website.
We may suspend or end your access if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms, if your use creates legal risk or harm to others, if payment fails or is reversed, or if the law requires it. If we end a paid plan for any other reason, we will refund the unused part of any subscription period you have paid for.
The Service, its software, design and trademarks belong to us and our licensors; these Terms do not give you any rights to them beyond the licence in section 6. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without obligation to you.
We may assign or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part — including your licences and our obligations to you — to an affiliate, to a company formed to operate Dream Meridian, or to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of all or part of our business or assets. Once the successor has taken on these Terms, it becomes responsible for our obligations under them, and we are released from them. You may not assign or transfer your rights under these Terms without our written consent.
The Service works with and links to services we do not control — for example your apps and browser, sign-in providers, payment processing and AI providers. Their own terms apply to them, and we are not responsible for them.
Apart from what these Terms expressly say, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, and we do not promise that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that transcriptions, AI output or automated actions will be accurate. Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions, so some of them may not apply to you.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, goodwill or business, arising from the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the claim arose, or US$100. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. If you have a concern, contact us first at hello@yapivo.com; most things can be resolved quickly that way. If a dispute is not resolved within 30 days, it will be decided by the state or federal courts located in Wyoming, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction — except that either of us may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. If you are a consumer in the EU, EEA or UK, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live.
You confirm that you are not in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo and are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
We may update these Terms. We will post changes on this page and update the date at the top. For material changes, we will give at least 30 days’ notice by email or in the App before they take effect. If you keep using the Service after changes take effect, you accept them; if you do not agree, stop using the Service and, for a subscription, cancel it before the change applies.
These Terms and the Privacy Policy, together with the description of any offer you purchased, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. If we do not enforce a right, we have not waived it. If these Terms are translated, the English version controls.
