These Terms and Conditions are provided in English for our international payment provider and international customers. A German version (AGB) will be published separately. In case of any conflict, the German AGB shall prevail for customers resident in Germany once published.
1. Provider
Mundwerk Diktat (“Mundwerk”, “the Software”) is developed and operated by:
Björn Kindler
Unterhaching, Germany
Contact details: see Impressum.
Payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy (Paddle.com Market Ltd. / Lemon Squeezy, LLC), who acts as the Merchant of Record. Lemon Squeezy is responsible for collecting payment, handling sales tax / VAT, and issuing invoices.
2. Scope
These Terms govern the purchase and use of Mundwerk for macOS, including any updates, downloads, and associated documentation. By purchasing, downloading, installing, or using Mundwerk, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use the Software.
3. The Software
Mundwerk is a local macOS dictation application. Audio is processed entirely on the user's device; no audio or transcript data is transmitted to any server operated by the Provider. The Software runs on Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 26.0 or later.
4. License
Upon full payment, the Provider grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, perpetual license to install and use Mundwerk under the following conditions:
- Each license key may be activated on up to two (2) Macs owned or primarily used by the licensee.
- The license is issued to a single person or legal entity and may not be resold, sublicensed, leased, or shared.
- You may not decompile, reverse-engineer, or attempt to extract the source code of the Software, except to the extent such activity is expressly permitted by applicable law.
- You may not remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices.
5. Trial
A fully functional trial is available for seven (7) days from first launch. No account or payment information is required to start the trial. After the trial period, a valid license key is required to continue using Mundwerk's dictation features.
6. Pricing and Payment
Current prices are displayed on the checkout page operated by Lemon Squeezy. All prices are stated in Euro (EUR) and — for consumers — include any applicable statutory VAT. For business customers, VAT may be shown separately on the invoice.
Accepted payment methods are determined by Lemon Squeezy and typically include credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay, and SEPA direct debit. The license key is issued by email once payment has been confirmed.
Promotional prices (e.g. launch discounts) are valid only during the promotional period indicated at the time of purchase and cannot be applied retroactively.
7. Right of Withdrawal (EU Consumers)
If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you have the right to withdraw from the purchase within fourteen (14) days of receiving the license key, without giving any reason.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, please contact us at the email address listed in the Impressum, or contact Lemon Squeezy support directly. A clear statement of withdrawal (for example by email) is sufficient.
Consequences of withdrawal: We will reimburse all payments received from you without undue delay, and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw. Reimbursement will be made using the same means of payment as used for the initial transaction. Upon withdrawal, your license key will be deactivated.
Note on digital content: By requesting the license key before the end of the withdrawal period, you expressly consent to immediate delivery; the right of withdrawal remains available as stated above unless you have explicitly waived it at checkout.
8. Updates and Support
Minor and bug-fix updates to the current major version are included with your license at no additional cost. Future major versions may be offered as a paid upgrade. Support is provided by email as described on the Support page. We do not guarantee any specific response time.
9. Data Protection and Privacy
Audio capture, voice activity detection, and transcription all happen locally on the user's Mac. No audio, transcripts, or usage content is transmitted to the Provider. Limited technical data (such as anonymous activation requests and error reports the user chooses to submit) may be processed as described in our Privacy Policy (Datenschutz). License activation data (license key, anonymous machine identifier, activation timestamp) is processed by Lemon Squeezy as payment processor and by the license-verification endpoint.
10. Warranty
Statutory warranty rights apply. The Provider warrants that Mundwerk will substantially conform to its published description at the time of purchase. The Provider does not warrant that the Software will be error-free or that it will operate uninterrupted, nor that it will meet every specific requirement of the user.
11. Limitation of Liability
The Provider shall be liable without limitation for damages caused by intent or gross negligence, for damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health, and under the German Product Liability Act (ProdHaftG).
For slight negligence, liability is limited to breaches of material contractual obligations (cardinal duties), and in such cases limited to the foreseeable damages typical for this type of contract. Any further liability — in particular for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, lost profits, or lost data beyond what can be recovered through routine backup measures — is excluded.
The user is responsible for maintaining adequate backups of any data produced with or processed by the Software.
12. Intellectual Property
Mundwerk, including its source code, design, branding, and documentation, is the intellectual property of Björn Kindler. Third-party open-source components are used in accordance with their respective licenses; attributions are available from within the application's About screen.
13. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes in our product, legal requirements, or payment processing. The version in force at the time of your purchase will continue to apply to that purchase. Material changes will be announced on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). For consumers, mandatory consumer-protection provisions of the country of their habitual residence remain unaffected.
If the user is a merchant, legal entity under public law, or special fund under public law, the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from or in connection with these Terms shall be Munich, Germany.
15. Online Dispute Resolution
The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR) at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not obligated and not willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
16. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is or becomes invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes as close as possible to the economic intent of the original provision.
