This Licence Agreement (the “Agreement”) sets out the terms on which the User is granted the right to use the BuzzAI application (the “Service”) and its paid features (the Premium Plus Subscription) by way of remote access over the Internet.
The Agreement is concluded between Egor Andreevich Severinov (self-employed, payer of professional income tax; the “Licensor”) and an individual — the User of the Service (the “User”).
Matters not covered by this Agreement are governed by the Privacy Policy and by the applicable law of the Russian Federation.
Before purchasing a Subscription, the User must read this Agreement. Obtaining access to the paid features of the Service in any form means that the User accepts the Agreement in full and without reservation.
If the User does not agree with the Agreement, or for any reason is not entitled to enter into it, the User must immediately stop using the paid features of the Service.
1.1. Service — the BuzzAI application for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android, which converts the User’s speech into text using artificial intelligence models, together with the related online services hosted on the domain buzzai.ru.
1.2. Licensor — Egor Andreevich Severinov (self-employed, payer of professional income tax), the person granting the User the right to use the Service and its paid features.
1.3. User — an individual with legal capacity who enters into the Agreement for the purpose of using the Service.
1.4. Premium Plus Subscription — the principal paid option of the Service, granting the User, for the paid Subscription Period, the right to use the features of the Service via the Licensor’s server infrastructure within the limits set by the Licensor.
1.4.1. Premium Plus Subscription Limits — the processing volume limits that apply during the Subscription Period. Current values are shown in the “Subscription” section of the Service. Any unused portion of a limit does not carry over to the next Period and is not subject to compensation.
1.5. Trial Period — the right, granted by the Licensor upon initial registration, to use the features of the Premium Plus Subscription free of charge for a limited time. The duration and scope of the Trial Period are determined by the Licensor and shown in the Service. The Trial Period is granted once per User, does not renew automatically, and may be withheld where signs of repeat registration are detected.
1.6. Plan — the Subscription parameters (duration / price) in effect at the moment the User makes payment.
1.7. Subscription Period — the term of the Subscription paid for by the User: 7, 30, 90 or 365 calendar days depending on the Plan selected. The set of available Periods may vary and is determined by the Licensor; the current list is shown in the Service.
1.8. Period Price — the amount actually paid by the User for the current Subscription Period. The Period Price is fixed at the moment the Subscription is purchased and does not change if the Licensor subsequently changes its Plans (clause 4.1.6).
1.9. Territory — the Russian Federation and other states in which the Licensor makes the Service available.
2.1. Under the Agreement the Licensor grants the User, on the terms of a simple (non-exclusive) licence, the right to use the Service and its paid features by remote access over the Internet, within the functionality provided by the Service.
2.2. The right of use is granted within the Territory for the term corresponding to the Plan selected by the User.
2.3. The Licensor does not transfer exclusive rights in the Service to the User. All exclusive rights in the Service, including its source code, design, name, graphic elements and databases, belong to the Licensor.
3.1. Registration in the Service is performed by one of the available methods: by mobile phone number with confirmation via the Telegram bot @buzzai_bot or another supported messenger, or via Sign in with Apple, Yandex ID, VK ID or Google. By confirming registration by any method, the User consents to this Agreement.
3.2. Upon the first successful registration the User is granted, once, a Trial Period of the Premium Plus Subscription. Its duration and scope are determined by the Licensor and shown in the Service. The Trial Period does not renew automatically: when it ends, access to the paid features ceases unless the User has purchased a Subscription.
3.3. The Licensor may withhold the Trial Period where signs of repeat registration by the same person are detected (including a matching device, email address or external provider account).
3.4. Free Plan. A User without an active Subscription is granted the right to use the Service free of charge within limited allowances, the current values of which are shown in the Service. The Licensor may change the scope and limits of the Free Plan, or discontinue it, having notified Users in accordance with clause 9.2.
4.1.1. The Premium Plus Subscription is granted for the term corresponding to the Plan selected by the User (the Subscription Period). The current list of Plans, their prices and scope are shown in the Service at the moment of purchase.
4.1.2. The right of use is activated when payment is received by the Licensor and remains in effect for the paid Subscription Period within the Subscription Limits.
4.1.3. Automatic renewal. By purchasing a Subscription with automatic renewal, the User gives the Licensor advance consent to periodic charges using the payment method previously applied. The charge is made on the date the current Subscription Period ends. Unless the User has cancelled automatic renewal, the Subscription renews for the next Period.
4.1.4. How the charge amount is determined. The amount covered by the advance consent is determined as follows:
4.1.4.1. On the renewal date the Licensor charges the Period Price for the next Subscription Period.
4.1.4.2. If the charge under clause 4.1.4.1 fails (including insufficient funds, refusal by the issuing bank or any other decline), the Licensor may, no earlier than 1 (one) hour later, request a charge of part of the Period Price and renew the Subscription for the corresponding part of the Period. That part is determined by the Subscription Period:
4.1.4.3. A partial charge is calculated from the Period Price actually paid by the User (clause 1.8) and not from the price in effect for new Users at the time of the charge. The result is rounded down to a whole rouble.
4.1.4.4. A partial charge changes neither the Plan nor the Subscription Limits: the Subscription keeps the Period previously selected, is renewed for the term stated in clause 4.1.4.2, and upon its expiry the Licensor again requests a charge of the full Period Price under clause 4.1.4.1.
4.1.4.5. If neither the full nor the partial charge succeeds, the Licensor may repeat charge attempts for no more than 3 (three) calendar days. After that period automatic renewal is switched off, the Subscription ceases, and the User is given access to the Service on the terms of the Free Plan. The User may resume the Subscription at any time in the Service.
4.1.4.6. The total of all charges for a single Subscription Period may not exceed the Period Price.
4.1.5. Cancelling automatic renewal and the use of payment details. The User may at any time cancel automatic renewal and withdraw the Licensor’s right to use previously provided bank account details or electronic payment means for periodic payments. The withdrawal is accepted in electronic form in the “Subscription” section of the Service. From the moment such withdrawal is received the Licensor stops charging, including partial charges under clause 4.1.4.1. After the withdrawal the Subscription remains in effect until the end of the paid Period and then ceases.
4.1.6. Price lock. The Period Price is fixed at the moment the Subscription is purchased. Any subsequent change of the Licensor’s Plans does not affect the renewal price of a Subscription purchased earlier.
4.1.7. Introductory Period. The Licensor may offer a Subscription at a reduced price for the first Period. The price of the first Period, its duration and the price of subsequent renewals are disclosed to the User in the Service before payment is made. The Introductory Period is granted once per User.
4.1.8. Discount on cancellation. The Licensor may offer a User who has initiated cancellation of automatic renewal to keep the Subscription at a discount for the next renewal only. Such a discount applies once; subsequent renewals are charged at the Period Price.
4.2.1. Payment for the paid features of the Service is processed through the YooKassa payment service (YooMoney NBCO LLC). Matters relating to the processing of the payment are governed by YooKassa’s rules.
4.2.2. The Licensor does not receive or store the User’s full payment card details.
4.2.3. Prices are stated in Russian roubles inclusive of all applicable taxes under the laws of the Russian Federation.
4.3.1. In the iOS application the Subscription is purchased through the App Store operated by Apple Inc. (in-app purchase). Payment is taken from the payment method linked to the User’s Apple Account.
4.3.2. The Plans and Subscription Periods are the same as in clause 4.1: 7, 30, 90 and 365 calendar days. The Period Price is determined by the App Store price tier for the country of the User’s account and may differ from the price stated on buzzai.ru because of currency, taxes and Apple’s pricing rules. The final price is shown to the User on the purchase screen before confirmation.
4.3.3. The Subscription renews automatically. The charge is taken by Apple within 24 (twenty-four) hours before the end of the current Subscription Period.
4.3.4. Automatic renewal is cancelled by the User in the settings of their Apple Account (Settings → “Your name” → “Subscriptions”) no later than 24 (twenty-four) hours before the end of the current Period. It must be cancelled there: switching automatic renewal off inside the Service does not apply to a Subscription purchased through the App Store.
4.3.5. Clauses 4.1.4 (repeat charge attempts) and 4.1.5 do not apply to a Subscription purchased through the App Store: repeat charge attempts and notifications of a failed renewal are performed by Apple under its own rules.
4.3.6. The Licensor’s discounts, promo codes, personal offers and retention offers do not apply to purchases made through the App Store. Such offers are available only when paying on buzzai.ru.
4.3.7. A Subscription purchased through the App Store is additionally subject to the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and to Apple’s standard end-user licence agreement available at apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula. In any matter not governed by this Agreement, those Apple terms prevail.
4.3.8. When payment is made through the App Store, the Licensor neither receives nor processes the User’s payment details. The Licensor receives only the purchase confirmation (transaction data signed by Apple), on the basis of which access to the paid features is activated.
4.3.9. Access to the paid features is linked to the User’s account in the Service and not to a device: having paid for a Subscription on any supported platform, the User may use it on all of their devices within a single account.
5.1. Since the subject of the Agreement is the granting of a right to use the result of intellectual activity, the provisions on returning goods of adequate quality (Article 25 of the Russian Federation Law “On Protection of Consumer Rights”) do not apply to the Agreement.
5.2. The price of a paid Subscription Period is non-refundable, except in cases expressly provided for by the law of the Russian Federation or where the Licensor decides to refund on its own initiative.
5.3. If a periodic payment was charged after the User had cancelled automatic renewal or withdrawn the use of the relevant payment details (clause 4.1.5), the Licensor refunds the amount charged in full, less the value of the period actually used by the User. A refund request is sent to the email address given in section 12; the refund is made to the same payment method within the period established by the law of the Russian Federation.
5.4. This section does not limit the User’s rights under the Russian Federation Law “On Protection of Consumer Rights”, including the right to withdraw from the Agreement at any time.
5.5. Refunds for a Subscription purchased through the App Store are handled by Apple under its own rules. The request is submitted by the User at reportaproblem.apple.com. The Licensor has no technical means of refunding such a payment and is not its recipient.
6.1. The User undertakes:
6.2. The Licensor may:
6.3. The Licensor may send the User information about the development of BuzzAI, its functionality, updates and changes, as well as advertising and informational messages about its own products, plans and special offers (promotions, promo codes, discounts). The User consents to receiving such messages via the contact details they have provided — email address, phone number and linked channels (Telegram, Max) — including by email, SMS, push notifications and other mailings of an informational or advertising nature. The User may opt out of advertising mailings at any time using the “Unsubscribe” link in the message or by contacting the Licensor using the details in section 12. Opting out does not apply to service messages relating to the performance of this Agreement (payment, security and terms-change notices).
7.1. The Service is provided “as is”. The Licensor does not warrant error-free or uninterrupted operation of the Service, or that the Service will meet the User’s particular purposes and expectations, and gives no other warranties not expressly stated in the Agreement.
7.2. Speech recognition is performed by artificial intelligence models of third-party providers. The Licensor is not liable for the quality, accuracy or completeness of recognition, or for the content of the texts produced by a model.
7.3. The Licensor is not liable for direct or indirect losses of the User or third parties caused by the use of, or inability to use, the Service, except in cases expressly provided for by the law of the Russian Federation.
7.4. The Licensor’s aggregate liability to the User on any ground connected with this Agreement is limited to the amount actually paid by the User to the Licensor during the six months preceding the ground for the claim.
8.1. The Licensor may, at its discretion, release updates to the Service and add, change or remove individual features.
8.2. The terms of this Agreement apply to all updates and new versions of the Service unless a separate licence agreement accompanies such an update.
9.1. The Licensor may, at its discretion, change the terms of this Agreement. A new revision takes effect once published at https://buzzai.ru/license.html, unless the revision itself states a different date.
9.2. If the User uses automatic renewal, the Licensor notifies the User of changes to Plans and of terms affecting the price of the Subscription no later than 7 (seven) calendar days before the changes take effect — by email, push notification, a message in the Telegram bot or another available means.
9.3. Continued use of the paid features of the Service after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the new revision of the Agreement.
10.1. The Agreement is in effect from the moment the User accepts its terms until the User ceases to use the Service or the Licensor discontinues the Service.
10.2. The User may at any time cease using the Service by deleting the application from their device and sending the Licensor a request to delete their account to the email address given in section 12.
11.1. The Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the Russian Federation.
11.2. Disputes arising out of this Agreement are subject to a pre-action claim procedure. The time for responding to a claim is 30 calendar days from its receipt.
11.3. If a dispute cannot be resolved through the claim procedure, it shall be referred to a court at the Licensor’s location in accordance with the jurisdiction rules established by the law of the Russian Federation.
11.4. If for any reason individual provisions of the Agreement become invalid, this does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
